CompuPhone 2000(Registered) is a registered trademark of the Company in the United States. The Company has a United States trademark application pending for CompuNet 2000(Trademark). This Prospectus also includes trademarks and trade names of other companies. 2 COMPUNET 2000(TRADEMARK) In the paper version there appears a picture depicting a conference call being conducted using CompuNet 2000 that includes both conventional telephone and Internet telephone. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY The following summary should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, (i) all information in this Prospectus gives retroactive effect to a 760.6291 for 1 stock split and an amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to be effected prior to completion of the Offering (as described under 'Description of Securities') and (ii) assumes that the Underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment option. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms the 'Company' and 'Integrated Technology' refer collectively to Integrated Technology USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and the term 'ITI USA' refers solely to Integrated Technology USA, Inc. THE COMPANY Integrated Technology designs, develops and markets innovative products for two rapidly emerging computer-related markets: the transmission of voice communications over the Internet ('Internet Telephony') and computer/telephone integration. The Company has also developed a wireless printing product that the Company believes has certain advantages over products currently on the market. With the introduction by various companies of software that enables Internet Telephony, the Company has focused on developing add-on products that can expand the potential benefits of Internet Telephony, make Internet Telephony more productive and efficient, and simplify the ancillary hardware devices required for Internet Telephony. The first product developed by the Company for this market is CompuNet 2000. This product is a PC keyboard that also functions as a conventional telephone and enables the conferencing together of an Internet and conventional telephone call. This feature allows each party on an Internet call that is using CompuNet 2000 to add an additional party that is using a conventional telephone. In addition, a handset or optional headset attached to CompuNet 2000 functions as the sound transmitting hardware device required for Internet calls (rather than a microphone and external speakers which are the devices typically being used). This feature enables CompuNet 2000 users to employ a single handset or headset for both conventional and Internet calls, thereby eliminating desktop clutter and enabling parties to an Internet call to conduct private conversations. The Company expects to commence sales of CompuNet 2000 by the end of 1996 pursuant to a distribution agreement with Gemini Industries, Inc. ('Gemini'). Under the terms of this agreement, Gemini has committed to purchase 10,000 units of CompuNet 2000 in 1996 (subject to certain conditions relating to the Company's ability to make the product available) and must purchase a minimum of 10,000 units per month in 1997 in order to maintain certain exclusivity rights. For the computer/telephone integration market, the Company currently offers CompuPhone 2000. This product is a PC keyboard that enables users to make and receive telephone calls using the PC keyboard (together with a headset that is provided with the product or an optional handset) without the need for a conventional telephone or modem. Included with CompuPhone 2000 is proprietary telephone management software that integrates the telephone function with the computer. This software enables a number of features for enhancing productivity and efficiency, including the ability to dial from a screen or data base (rather than manually dialing), automatic logging of information concerning each call, and the ability to record notes regarding each call in a 'note box' that can appear automatically. CompuPhone 2000 also interfaces with most widely used personal information management programs. The Company commenced sales of CompuPhone 2000 in early 1995. The Company's objective is to become a leading developer and vendor of a wide range of products for the Internet Telephony and computer/telephone integration markets. In furtherance of this objective, the Company intends to devote significant research and development resources in order to develop both enhancements to its existing products and new products for its target markets. The Company believes that its existing technology base and the substantial experience of its product development team will provide the Company with a significant advantage in its efforts to develop new products. While the Company expects to rely primarily on its internal product development efforts, the Company also intends to explore the possibility of establishing strategic alliances with companies that can provide the Company with technology, subsystems or complementary products which can be integrated into or offered with the Company's products. For example, the Company has recently 3 entered into an agreement with VocalTec Ltd. that grants the Company the right to bundle a version of VocalTec's Internet Telephony enabling software with the Company's CompuNet 2000 product. The Company currently markets products directly and through independent representatives and distributors. However, the Company's marketing efforts to date have been limited due to financial constraints. The Company intends to increase its marketing capability by expanding the Company's internal sales force; establishing relationships with additional independent representatives and distributors; and significantly increasing advertising. In addition, the Company is seeking to enter into arrangements with original equipment manufacturers ('OEMs'), such as computer manufacturers, pursuant to which OEMs would incorporate the Company's products into their finished hardware products. Integrated Technology USA, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1990. Its principal executive offices are located at 545 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, New Jersey, and its telephone number is (201) 907-0200. 4 THE OFFERING Securities Offered...................... 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 Warrants. Terms of Warrants....................... Each Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $ per share [150% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock] at any time during the four-year period commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus. The Warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Commencing 18 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company, in whole but not in part, at $0.01 per Warrant on 30 days' prior written notice to the warrantholders if the average closing bid price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $ [250% of the initial public offering price] per share, subject to adjustment, for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the notice of redemption. See 'Description of Securities.' Common Stock Outstanding Prior to the Offering(1)........................... 2,930,178 shares of Common Stock. Securities to be Outstanding after the Offering(1)(2)........................ 5,930,178 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 Warrants. Use of Proceeds......................... The Company intends to use approximately $1.2 million of the net proceeds of the Offering for repayment of outstanding indebtedness and the balance of such net proceeds for: (i) advertising and marketing; (ii) research and development; (iii) acquisition of equipment and new product tooling; and (iv) working capital and general corporate purposes. Proposed American Stock Exchange Symbols: Common Stock....................... ITH Warrants........................... ITH.WS
- ------------------ (1) Does not include (i) 403,189 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options (257,322 of which provide for a nominal exercise price, 133,111 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $1.64 per share and 12,756 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $2.74 per share), (ii) 548,333 shares issuable upon exercise of options to be granted prior to completion of the Offering (as described under 'Management--Options to be Granted Prior to the Offering'), which options will have an exercise price equal to the the initial public offering price per share of Common stock in the Offering, (iii) 285,000 shares reserved for possible future grants of options under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan, (iv) shares issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding warrants (the 'Bridge Warrants') that were issued in connection with a bridge financing (the 'Bridge Financing') completed by the Company in the second and third quarters of 1996, including warrants that were issued to certain parties that assisted the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants will be determined by dividing (x) $1,262,500 by (y) the initial public offering price per share of Common stock in the Offering, and the exercise price per share will equal 10% of such initial public offering price. Assuming an initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof), the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants would be 180,357 and the exercise price per share would be $0.70. See 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Bridge Financing.' (2) Does not include (i) 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants sold in the Offering, (ii) 300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants and (iii) Warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants. 5 SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing the Securities. Prospective investors should be in a position to risk the loss of their entire investment. CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; HISTORY OF LOSSES; NO ASSURANCE OF PROFITABILITY; GOING CONCERN EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH IN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT Integrated Technology USA, Inc. was incorporated in 1990. The Company has incurred net losses in each year since its inception and, as of June 30, 1996, had an accumulated deficit of $6.20 million. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve or be able to sustain profitability. The report of independent accountants on the Company's financial statements included elsewhere herein contains an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern while expressing doubt as to the Company's ability to do so without the infusion of additional capital. CERTAIN GENERAL RISKS RELATED TO PRODUCTS Dependence on Limited Number of Products. The Company to date has developed three products (not including a predecessor version of CompuPhone 2000 that the Company is no longer selling). These products are: (i) CompuPhone 2000, (ii) CompuNet 2000 and (iii) WPS-1000 (a wireless printing product that is in the preproduction, prototype stage). The Company projects that in 1996 and 1997 substantially all of the Company's revenues will be generated by the sale of these three product lines and/or enhanced versions of these products (the 'Existing Products'). The failure by the Company to successfully market any one of the Existing Products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Unproven Acceptance of the Company's Existing Products. The Company commenced sales of CompuPhone 2000 in January 1995 and to date has made only limited sales of such product ($804,000 in 1995 and $208,000 in the first six months of 1996). The Company expects that it will commence initial sales of CompuNet 2000 by the end of 1996 and commence the initial commercial introduction of WPS-1000 in the first quarter of 1997, although there can be no assurance that the Company will meet this expected time schedule. See '--Certain Risks Specific to CompuNet 2000' and '--Certain Risks Specific to WPS 1000.' In view of the fact that the Company has had either very limited or no sales experience with each of the Existing Products, there can be no assurance that any of the Existing Products will achieve market acceptance (or sufficient market acceptance to make sales of the product profitable). The failure of one or more of the Existing Products to achieve market acceptance (or sufficient market acceptance to make sales of the product profitable), would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Possibility of Undetected Errors. One or more of the Existing Products offered by the Company or any new product may contain undetected errors or defects when first introduced or as new versions are released. Introduction by the Company of products with reliability, quality or compatibility problems could result in product returns, reduced orders, uncollectible accounts receivable, delays in collecting accounts receivable, product redevelopment costs, and loss of, or delay in, market acceptance. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Possibility of Need For Design Change. There can be no assurance that the technology incorporated into the Existing Products or new products will be operational as expected in all environments. As new products are tested in the marketplace, the Company may discover that design changes are necessary to achieve the expected performance. There can be no assurance that any design changes required will be developed and incorporated in a timely or economical manner, or at all. Need to Develop Product Enhancements and New Products; Risk of Obsolescence. The markets for the Company's products are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and customer 7 demands, and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. As a result, the Company's ability to remain competitive will depend in significant part upon its ability to continually develop and introduce, in a timely and cost-effective manner, enhancements for its existing products in response to both evolving demands of the marketplace and competitive product offerings. In addition, over the longer-term, the Company's ability to remain competitive will depend in significant part upon its ability to develop and introduce, in a timely and cost-effective manner, new products to expand and diversify its product offerings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and introducing, in a timely and cost-effective manner, any enhancements or extensions for existing products or any new products. In addition, there can be no assurance that competitors of the Company will not achieve technological advances that provide a competitive advantage over the Company's products or that make such products obsolete. CERTAIN RISKS SPECIFIC TO COMPUPHONE 2000 CompuPhone 2000 has certain functional limitations described below that narrow the potential end-user markets for the product. There can be no assurance that this will not result in the demand level for the CompuPhone 2000 being insufficient to make sales of this product profitable. CompuPhone 2000 is currently limited to functioning as a single-line telephone. Although the Company may seek to develop multiple-line capability for this product, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing this enhancement in a timely and cost-effective manner or at all. Since many functions, particularly many business functions, require telephones with multiple lines, the current single-line limitation of the CompuPhone 2000 limits the potential end-user market for this product. The CompuPhone 2000 has been designed so that it can interface with the analog port of a digital PBX system, thereby enabling the CompuPhone 2000 to be integrated into the general PBX telephone systems being used by businesses. However, due to the fact that CompuPhone 2000 interfaces only with the analog port of a PBX system, many of the telephone features enabled by a PBX system will not be available on the CompuPhone 2000 even when it is successfully integrated with a PBX system. The limitations involved in seeking to integrate CompuPhone 2000 with PBX systems may limit the potential end-user market for CompuPhone 2000 among business users. CERTAIN RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE COMPUNET 2000 Unproven Acceptance of Internet Telephony. Over the past one and one-half years, various companies have developed and released software that enables voice and audio communications over the Internet ('Internet Telephony'). CompuNet 2000 is designed to expand the potential benefits of Internet Telephony, make Internet Telephony more productive and efficient, and simplify the ancillary hardware devices required for Internet Telephony. Accordingly, the success of this product is dependent in large part on the use of Internet Telephony becoming widespread. There can be no assurance, however, that this will in fact occur due to a number of factors, including: o The market for Internet Telephony has only recently begun to develop and is rapidly evolving. As a result, the extent to which Internet Telephony will achieve market acceptance is subject to a high level of uncertainty. o The quality of conversations over the Internet is currently inferior to the quality of those conducted on conventional telephones, mainly due to the Internet infrastructure and each user's hardware limitations, which may result in delays of up to a few seconds in the transmission of speech, loss of voice packets and relatively inferior sound quality. o In order for Internet Telephony to become widespread, the continued expansion of the Internet and its network infrastructure will be required. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur or that the Internet will be able to meet additional demand or its users' changing requirements on a timely basis, at a commercially reasonable cost, or at all. o The increased acceptance of Internet Telephony could result in intervention by governmental regulatory agencies in the United States or elsewhere in the world under existing or newly enacted legislation and in the imposition of fees or charges on users and providers of products and services in this area. There can 8 be no assurance that such intervention or imposition of fees or charges would not have a material adverse impact upon the acceptance and attractiveness of Internet Telephony. o Based upon current cost structures, the cost of a long distance or international call made using Internet Telephony can be substantially lower than the cost of a comparable conventional telephone call, making Internet Telephony a potentially attractive alternative or supplement to conventional telephone. However, it is possible that fees and/or taxes will be imposed on use of the Internet that would reduce, or completely eliminate, this price differential. If this should occur, the economic incentive to use the Internet for voice communications would be significantly reduced or eliminated. Dependence on New Relationship With Gemini Industries. The Company has entered into a distribution agreement with Gemini Industries, Inc. ('Gemini') that provides Gemini with the exclusive right to distribute CompuNet 2000 in the United States through retail stores to end users during the term of the agreement. The Company has retained the right to distribute the product through other distribution channels in the United States (such as sales to corporate accounts) and without any limitations outside of the United States. The term of such agreement commences on June 1, 1996 and extends until the end of 1997 (subject to extension by mutual agreement). Under the terms of the agreement, Gemini has committed to purchase from the Company 10,000 units of CompuNet 2000 in 1996 (subject to the condition that the Company is able to make the product available in a timely manner and in the quantities requested by Gemini for particular time periods, including traditional selling seasons) and must purchase a minimum of 10,000 units per month in 1997 in order to maintain exclusivity. The Company has not yet commenced sales of CompuNet 2000 and expects that the sales to Gemini contemplated by the distribution agreement will be the first sales of CompuNet 2000 that the Company will make. Gemini has the right to terminate the agreement under certain circumstances, including if (i) the Company fails to comply with its material obligation under the agreement (subject to specified notice provisions and cure rights) or (ii) if any competitive product is offered in the market place and the Company fails to keep Gemini competitive in price and quality. The Company expects that a significant portion of revenues relating to CompuNet 2000 will be attributable to sales made to Gemini. Consequently, the Company's business and financial condition could be adversely affected in the event that Gemini (i) for any reason fails to purchase the 10,000 units of CompuNet 2000 that the distribution agreement contemplates that it will purchase in 1996, (ii) fails to effectively market CompuNet 2000, (iii) terminates the distribution agreement for any reason or (iv) fails to extend the term of the distribution agreement beyond 1997. Possible Delay in Commencement of Sales. As described above, the Company expects to commence sales of CompuNet 2000 by the end of 1996. However, the Company's ability to commence sales within the expected time frame may be delayed by various circumstances, including, among others, production or shipping delays, unforeseen technical problems and/or failure by Gemini for any reason to purchase the units of CompuNet 2000 that the Company expects Gemini to purchase in 1996 pursuant to the distribution agreement described above. As described under 'Business--Manufacturing,' the Company intends to have CompuNet 2000 units initially produced by retrofitting CompuPhone 2000 units that the Company has in inventory. The possibility that the Company may experience production delays or unforseen technical problems is heightened by the fact that the Company has not previously had experience with such type of retrofitting. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to commence sales of CompuNet 2000 within the expected time frame or at all. The failure by the Company to commence sales of CompuNet 2000 within the expected time frame would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Possible 'Bundling' of Internet Telephony Enabling Software With Competitive Products. There are only a limited number of software companies that sell the software that enables Internet Telephony. One or more of these companies may elect to bundle with its software a hardware product that competes with the Company's CompuNet 2000 product. Any such occurrence would adversely affect the ability of the Company to market CompuNet 2000. CERTAIN RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE WPS-1000 PRODUCT Possible Delay in Commercial Introduction. The WPS 1000 product is currently in the preproduction, prototype stage. The Company currently projects that it will commence the commercial introduction of this product in the first quarter of 1997. However, the Company's ability to commence such commercial introduction 9 within the projected time frame may be delayed by various circumstances, including, among others, the risks described in the following paragraph associated with transitioning the product from a prototype to one that is mass produced, production or shipping delays and/or unforeseen technical problems. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able commence the commercial introduction of WPS-1000 within the expected time frame or at all. The failure by the Company to commence such commercial introduction within the expected time frame would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Risks Associated with Transition From Prototype Stage to Mass Production. In order for the Company to commence the commercial introduction of WPS-1000, it will be necessary to transition the product from a prototype to one that is mass produced. Such transition process involves various risks, including that in the course of the transition process the Company may discover that (i) the performance of the prototype cannot be replicated in a mass produced product or (ii) design changes are necessary in order to achieve the expected performance. Any such discovery could result in a delay in the commercial introduction of WPS-1000 or in the Company's complete inability to commercialize the product. Any such occurrence would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. Possible Reduction in Potential Market for the WPS-1000. The WPS-1000 enables wireless printing from a laptop computer. Although there are existing wireless printing products, the Company believes that there is a potential market for the WPS-1000 because the WPS-1000 offers certain advantages that the existing products do not offer (as described under 'Business--Wireless Printing Product'). However, the Company estimates that the potential market for the WPS-1000 may be significantly reduced or eliminated in the near future (by 1998 according to one market study commissioned by the Company). This is primarily due to the growing trend to include 'built-in' wireless printing capability in new laptop computers being sold. The Company believes that, as built-in wireless printing capability becomes the norm, the demand for separate wireless printing products may decrease, even if these separate products can offer certain functional advantages (such as greater range). In addition, technological advances relating to existing wireless printing products may eliminate or reduce the advantages that the WPS-1000 offers when compared with such existing products. In the event that the Company succeeds in successfully commercializing the WPS-1000 and thereafter the market for such product contracts, such occurrence would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition if the Company fails to generate profits from other products to offset any lost profits resulting from such market contraction. CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the Company's revenues and accounts receivable may be accounted for by Gemini (as described under '--Certain Risks Specific to CompuNet 2000--Dependence on New Relationship with Gemini Industries') and by a limited number of other key customers, the identity of which may vary from period to period. In 1995, one customer accounted for approximately 18% of the Company's net sales. In the first half of 1996, three customers accounted for approximately 34% of net sales (one customer 11%, one 11% and one 12%). To the extent the Company continues to depend upon a limited number of key customers for a material percentage of its net sales and accounts receivable, the loss of one or more of these key customers or any significant reduction in orders by such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. See 'Business--End Users, Distribution, Sales and Marketing.' RISK OF PRODUCT RETURNS AND RISK ARISING FROM PRICE PROTECTION PROVISIONS As is common in the industry for PCs and PC peripherals, the Company is exposed to the risk of product returns from distributors and retailers. Product returns may be based upon a contractual right of return that a particular customer may have. Product returns may also be based upon a determination by the Company that it is in the Company's long-term interest to voluntarily assist particular customers in managing inventories. The contractual right of return, if any, that the Company grants to customers varies from customer to customer. Such right may allow a customer to return product for any reason or only upon the occurrence of specific events. Such specific events may include, among other things, termination of a distributors's distribution agreement (which in many cases can be effected by a distributor at any time or upon short notice), inability of the customer to resell the product and/or in the event that the Company makes technological changes to the product. Although the 10 Company has established reserves for product returns, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate or that future product returns will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. The Company includes in certain of its agreements with distributors and other customers price protection clauses, pursuant to which the Company is required to grant specified credits to the customer in the event that the Company reduces current selling prices on products previously purchased by such customer. There can be no assurance that future price protection claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. The Company generally permits customers to return products for repair or replacement if the product does not conform to the Company's warranty. The Company seeks to limit its costs relating to warranty claims by generally seeking to obtain a corresponding warranty from each contract manufacturer that manufactures any of the Company's product. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will always be successful in this regard or that a contract manufacturer will not fail to honor its warranty. Consequently, there can be no assurance that future warranty claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. DEPENDENCE ON CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS The Company currently outsources substantially all of its manufacturing and assembly requirements and expects that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future (other than software production which the Company expects will be done at the Company's Israeli facilities). In general, the Company's policy is to rely upon a single contract manufacturer to produce each of its products (or related product groups), until sales of any particular product reach a level that would permit the Company to qualify a second contract manufacturer and still be capable of negotiating reasonable prices based on volume. Reflecting this policy, the Company currently uses a single contract manufacturer with facilities in Taiwan to manufacture CompuPhone 2000 and expects to use the same manufacturer to manufacture CompuNet 2000 (except that initially the Company intends to use a contract manufacturer in the United States to manufacture the product by retrofitting existing units of CompuPhone 2000). The Company expects to use a contract manufacturer with facilities in the People's Republic of China to manufacture WPS-1000. The Company does not currently have long-term agreements with any contract manufacturer that it uses. Accordingly, any such contract manufacturer could elect at any time to terminate its relationship with the Company or reduce the manufacturing capacity that it allocates to the Company. The Company estimates that six months or more would be required in order for it to qualify an alternate manufacturer for any product. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain its requirements for any product from any contract manufacturer that the Company uses for the manufacture of such product. The events and circumstances that may interfere with the Company's ability to obtain its product requirements from a contract manufacturer include: (i) the Company's requirements may increase above the capacity that the contract manufacturer has (or that it is willing to allocate to the Company), (ii) a contract manufacturer may terminate its relationship with the Company or reduce the manufacturing capacity that it allocates to the Company and/or (iii) a contract manufacturer's manufacturing capacity may be reduced or eliminated as a result of a casualty or technical problems. Any inability on the part of the Company to obtain its product requirements in a timely manner and in sufficient quantities from any contract manufacturer that it is using would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition, particularly in view of the following: (i) the Company does not expect to have an alternate contract manufacturer qualified for any product, (ii) the same contract manufacturer is expected to manufacture both CompuPhone 2000 and CompuNet 2000, (iii) a long lead time would be required in order for the Company to qualify an alternate manufacturer for any product and (iv) the Company does not expect that it will maintain sufficient inventory to allow it to fill customer orders without interruption during the time that would be required to qualify an alternate manufacturer. The Company's reliance on contract manufacturers involves several other risks, including reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs. There can be no assurance that problems resulting from such risks will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. The process of ramping up production of a new product at a contract manufacturer requires extensive exchange of product and process information between the Company and the contract manufacturer, the production of prototypes and test runs. This process is complex and can take a considerable amount of time. The 11 Company has not yet ramped up production of CompuNet 2000 or WPS-1000 and there can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter unanticipated problems or delays in connection with the ramping up process that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. POSSIBLE SHORTAGES OF COMPONENTS A variety of components are required to manufacture the Company's products. Although supplies for such components currently are adequate, shortages could occur in the future in various critical components due to interruption of supply or increased industry demand. Any such shortages could result in higher costs or production delays, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. CERTAIN RISKS RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL SALES International sales of the Company's products accounted for 24% of net sales in 1995 and 18% of net sales in the first half of 1996. International business operations may be negatively impacted by a variety of factors, including political or economic instability in a region, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, restrictions on the transfer of funds, currency fluctuations, potentially adverse tax consequences and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws. For example, the Company has been required to make certain modifications to its CompuPhone 2000 product in order to bring it into compliance with applicable foreign regulations (the required modifications varying depending on the country). Although the Company has not to date experienced any material adverse effect on its operations as a result of such factors, there can be no assurance that such factors will not materially adversely impact the Company's business and financial condition in the future or require the Company to modify its current business practices. HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKETS The markets for Company's products are characterized by intense competition and rapid change, and the Company expects that competition will increase. The Company's current and prospective competitors include many companies that have substantially greater name recognition and financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not be able to develop products comparable or superior to those offered by the Company. For example, there is a company in the Federal Republic of Germany that is currently marketing a product outside the United States that is substantially the same as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product. There can also be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not be able to offer customers more competitive pricing or to adapt more quickly than the Company to new technologies and evolving customer requirements. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in its target markets or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company's future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of its senior management and on the continued service of its key sales and marketing and research and development personnel. The Company believes that its future success will also depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain additional managerial, sales and marketing, and research and development personnel. There is, however, considerable competition for the services of qualified personnel in these areas and, consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able either to retain its present personnel or to attract additional qualified personnel as and when needed. The loss of the services of one or more of the Company's key personnel, particularly senior management and certain hardware and software engineers, or the inability of the Company to attract additional personnel as and when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. See 'Business--Employees' and 'Management--Executive Officers, Directors and Key Employees.' 12 IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY The Company's success depends significantly upon its ability to protect its proprietary technology. The Company relies upon a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyright and trademark law, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary technology. However, there can be no assurance that (i) such steps will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of the Company's technology or (ii) the Company's competitors will not develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's products without infringing upon the Company's proprietary rights. (As described under 'Competition,' there is a company in the Federal Republic of Germany that is currently marketing outside the United States a product that is substantially the same as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product.) In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries in which the Company's products are, or may be, developed, manufactured or sold, including various countries in Asia, may not protect the Company's products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and thus make the possibility of piracy of the Company's technology and products more likely. POSSIBILITY OF THIRD PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS The Company believes that its products and their use do not infringe the proprietary rights of third parties and, to date, there has been no litigation commenced against the Company relating to any infringement claims. However, the Company has from time to time in the past received, and may receive in the future, communications from third parties claiming that the Company's products infringe, or may infringe, the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance (i) that any such claims will not require the Company to enter into license arrangements or result in protracted and costly litigation, regardless of the merits of such claims, (ii) that any necessary licenses will be available or that, if available, such licenses can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms or (iii) that any such claims will not be upheld. CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES A substantial portion of the Company's business is conducted in the State of Israel through two Israeli subsidiaries (the 'Israeli Subsidiaries'). See '--Considerations Relating to the Company's Operations in Israel.' As a result, the Company incurs expenses in New Israeli Shekels ('NIS'). Consequently, an increase in the value of the NIS in relation to the dollar would increase the Company's expenses in dollar terms. In addition, the Company's expenses in dollar terms could increase in the event that inflation in Israel is not offset (or is offset on a lagging basis) by the devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar. During 1995 and the first two quarters of 1996 inflation in Israel and the change in the value of the NIS in relation to the dollar were: 1995 (the inflation rate was 8.10% while the NIS was devalued by 3.88%); first quarter of 1996 (the inflation rate was 2.80%, not annualized, while the NIS appreciated by 0.76%); and second quarter of 1996 (the inflation rate was 7.03%, not annualized, while the NIS was devalued by 2.17%). There can be no assurance that the Company will not be materially adversely affected in the future if inflation in Israel continues to exceed the devaluation of the NIS against the dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind increases in inflation in Israel. The Israeli Subsidiaries maintain their accounts in NIS, while the Company's consolidated financial statements are reported in dollars. Accordingly, the Israeli Subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are translated to dollars based on the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period and their income and expense items are translated to dollars based on the average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period. Such currency translations may result in gains or losses (which are recorded directly into a separate component of stockholders' equity). Although to date the effects of such currency translations have not been material, there can be no assurance that in the future such currency translations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company currently denominates its international sales in dollars, but may in the future denominate certain of such sales in foreign currencies. In such event, fluctuations in the rates of exchange between the dollar and other currencies may effect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. For example, an increase in the value of a particular currency relative to the dollar will increase the dollar reporting value for transactions in such currency. Conversely, a decrease in the value of such currency relative to the dollar will decrease the dollar reporting value for transactions in such currency. 13 BROAD DISCRETION OVER APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS The Company intends to use approximately $1.2 million of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay outstanding indebtedness and the balance for the other purposes described under 'Use of Proceeds.' Although the Company's current estimate as to the amount of such net proceeds that will be used for each such other purpose is set forth under 'Use of Proceeds,' the Company reserves the right to change the amount of such net proceeds that will be used for any purpose to the extent that management determines that such change is advisable. Consequently, management of the Company will have broad discretion in determining the manner in which the net proceeds of the Offering are applied. CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE SECURITIES CONCENTRATED CONTROL Immediately following completion of the Offering, the executive officers and directors of the Company (together with entities affiliated with certain of such individuals and a trust for the benefit of certain family members of one of such individuals) will beneficially own approximately 27.01% of the outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to the exercise of all options held by such persons that are currently exercisable) and may be deemed to have effective control of the Company. See 'Principal Stockholders.' NO DIVIDENDS The Company has never paid any dividends on its Common Stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See 'Dividend Policy.' DILUTION Purchasers of shares of Common Stock in the Offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares of Common Stock purchased by them in the Offering. Additional dilution to future net tangible book value per share may occur upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants (including the Warrants and the Representative's Warrants) and may occur, in addition, if the Company issues additional equity securities in the future. The current stockholders of the Company, including the Company's officers and directors, acquired their shares of Common Stock for nominal consideration or for consideration substantially less than the public offering price of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. As a result, new investors will bear substantially all of the risks inherent in an investment in the Company. See 'Dilution.' NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC TRADING MARKET; ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PRICES Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock or the Warrants, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for any of the Securities will develop or, if developed, be sustained after the Offering. The initial public offering prices of the Securities offered hereby and the terms of the Warrants have been arbitrarily determined by negotiations between the Company and the Representative, and do not necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's assets, book value, results of operations or any other generally accepted criteria of value. See 'Underwriting.' The trading price of the Securities could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, developments or disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights, quarterly variations in the Company's and its competitor's quarterly results, changes in earnings estimates by analysts, market conditions in the industry, and general economic conditions. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of Common Stock, or the availability of Common Stock for future sale, will have on the market price of the Securities prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock (including shares issued upon exercise of warrants or options), or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely effect prevailing market prices for the Securities. 14 The Company and certain holders of Common Stock and/or other securities of the Company have entered into lock-up agreements as described below. See 'Shares Eligible For Future Sale' and 'Underwriting.' Company. The Company has agreed that, during the period commencing on the date of this Prospectus and ending on the first anniversary of such date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, directly or indirectly issue, offer to sell, sell, grant an option for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of (all the foregoing being collectively referred to as 'Transfer') any securities issued by the Company, including common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or evidencing any right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of common stock (the 'Covered Securities'), except that the Company may (i) issue shares upon the exercise of the Bridge Warrants, (ii) grant options pursuant to its 1996 Stock Option plan (described under 'Management--Stock Option Plan'), provided that the optionee is subject to (or upon receipt of the option agrees to be subject to) one of the lock-up arrangements described in the following two paragraphs, and (iii) issue shares upon the exercise of stock options that are currently outstanding, or that this Prospectus contemplates will be granted prior to completion of the Offering or that are hereafter granted in accordance with the preceding clause. Two-Percent Holders. Each Two-Percent Holder (as hereinafter defined) has agreed that, until the first anniversary of the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined under 'Available Information') is declared effective (the 'Effective Date') under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), such holder will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, directly or indirectly, Transfer any Covered Securities, except that (i) a Two-Percent Holder may Transfer Covered Securities in a private placement, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the foregoing agreement; and (ii) from and after the 270th day after the Effective Date, a Two-Percent Holder may Transfer Common Stock of the Company (in one or more transactions), provided that the aggregate shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be Transferred by a Two-Percent Holder pursuant to this clause (ii) may not exceed 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by such Two-Percent Holder immediately preceding the 270th day after the Effective Date. (For purposes of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the ownership or sale of any Covered Securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or evidencing any right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of Common Stock is deemed the ownership or sale, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to such Covered Securities). The Two-Percent Holders that have entered into the foregoing agreement hold in the aggregate 1,782,561 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 751,973 shares of Common Stock (including the options that this Prospectus contemplates will be issued prior to completion of the Offering). As used herein, a 'Two-Percent Holder' means any person or entity that immediately prior to the Offering owns a number of shares of Common Stock (calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exercise of all outstanding options and options that this Prospectus contemplates will be granted prior to completion of the Offering) that constitutes 2% or more of the outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Offering (calculated on a pro forma basis as aforesaid). Other Holders of Common Stock or Options. The Company has agreed to cause each holder of Common Stock and/or options that is not a Two-Percent Holder to agree that, until the 270th day following the Effective Date, such holder will not Transfer any Covered Securities, except that any such holder may Transfer Covered Securities in a private placement, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the foregoing agreement. Such holders hold in the aggregate 1,147,617 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 199,549 shares of Common Stock (including the options that this Prospectus contemplates will be issued prior to completion of the Offering). Holders of Bridge Warrants. Prior to completion of the Offering the Company intends to file a Registration Statement registering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants. However, each holder of Bridge Warrants has agreed that, during the three-month period commencing on the Effective Date, such holder will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, sell assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any such warrant or any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise thereof. 15 REPRESENTATIVE'S INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET A significant amount of the Securities offered hereby may be sold to customers of the Representative. Such customers subsequently may engage in transactions for the sale or purchase of such Securities through or with the Representative. If it participates in the market, the Representative may exert a dominating influence on the market, if one develops, for the Securities. The price and liquidity of the Common Stock and the Warrants may be significantly affected by the degree, if any, of the Representative's participation in such market. See 'Description of Securities.' SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE WARRANTS; POSSIBLE REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS The Warrants do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus, holders of the Warrants may exercise their right to acquire Common Stock and pay an exercise price of $ per share [150% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock], subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain dilutive events, until five years after the date of this Prospectus, after which date any unexercised Warrants will expire and have no further value. Moreover, following the completion of the Offering, the market value of the Warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants will equal or exceed their initial public offering price. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of the Warrants to exercise their Warrants. Commencing 18 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Warrants are subject to redemption at $0.01 per Warrant on 30 days' prior written notice to the warrantholders if the average closing bid price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $ [250% of the initial public offering price] per share for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the date of the notice of redemption. If the Warrants are redeemed, holders of the Warrants will lose their rights to exercise the Warrants after the expiration of the 30-day notice period. Upon receipt of a notice of redemption, holders would be required to: (i) exercise their Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) sell their Warrants at the then-prevailing market price, if any, when they might otherwise wish to hold their Warrants, or (iii) accept the redemption price which is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the Warrants at the time of redemption. In the event that holders of the Warrants elect not to exercise their Warrants upon notice of redemption, the unexercised Warrants will be redeemed prior to exercise, and the holders thereof will lose the benefit of the appreciated market price of the Warrants, if any, and/or the difference between the market price of the underlying Common Stock as of such date and the exercise price of such Warrants, as well as any possible future price appreciation in the Common Stock. See 'Description of Securities--Warrants.' CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO EXERCISE WARRANTS The Warrants are not exercisable unless, at the time of exercise, the Company has a current prospectus covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and such shares have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities or 'blue sky' laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder of the Warrants. Although the Company has undertaken to use its reasonable efforts to have all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants registered or qualified on or before the exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the expiration of the Warrants, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so. The value of the Warrants may be greatly reduced if a current prospectus covering the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not kept effective or if such Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the states in which the holders of the Warrants reside. The shares of Common Stock and the Warrants offered hereby may only be purchased in the Offering together, on the basis of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant, but the Warrants will be separately tradeable immediately upon issuance. Although the Securities will not knowingly be sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which the Securities are not registered or otherwise qualified for sale, investors residing in such jurisdictions may purchase the Warrants in the secondary market or investors may move to a jurisdiction in which the shares underlying the Warrants are not registered or qualified during the period that the Warrants are exercisable. In such event, the 16 Company will be unable to issue shares to those persons desiring to exercise their Warrants unless and until the shares are qualified for sale in jurisdictions in which such purchasers reside, or an exemption from such qualification exists in such jurisdictions, and holders of the Warrants would have no choice but to attempt to sell the Warrants in a jurisdiction where such sale is permissible or allow them to expire unexercised. See 'Description of Securities--Warrants.' CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL A substantial amount of the Company's business is conducted in the State of Israel through the Israeli Subsidiaries. The functions that are primarily conducted in Israel include research and development, international marketing and sales, administration and finance. The net assets of the Israeli Subsidiaries accounted for approximately 27% of the Company's consolidated net assets as of December 31, 1995, and the net capital deficiency of the Israeli Subsidiaries accounted for approximately 71% of the Company's consolidated net capital deficiency as of June 30, 1996. In addition, substantially all of the executive officers of the Company reside in the State of Israel or spend significant amounts of time working there. Consequently, the Company is directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel, and any major hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. See 'Conditions in Israel.' The Company participates in certain Israeli government programs that provide certain significant tax benefits. To be eligible for these tax benefits, the Company must continue to meet certain conditions. Should the Company fail to meet such conditions in the future, such tax benefits could be canceled, in whole or in part, and the Company might be required to refund the amount of the canceled benefits, together with certain additional amounts and interest. There can be no assurance that such programs and tax benefits will be continued in the future at their current levels or otherwise. See 'Israeli Taxation' and 'Conditions in Israel.' 17 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be approximately $17,794,000, based upon an assumed initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof) and $0.10 per Warrant and after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use approximately $1.2 million of such net proceeds to pay the outstanding principal of, and accrued interest on, certain promissory notes (the 'Bridge Notes') issued by the Company during the period April 30, 1996, through July 30, 1996 in connection with the Bridge Financing. Such notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable, together with accrued interest, 10 days after completion of the Offering. The Company used the net proceeds of such bridge financing ($1.06 million) to fund working capital requirements, general corporate purposes and the Company's financing plans. See 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Bridge Financing.' The Company expects to use the balance of such net proceeds for the purposes set forth in the table below. Pending use of the net proceeds for such purposes, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds in high-grade, short term interest bearing investments.
APPROXIMATE AMOUNT OF NET PROCEEDS PROJECTED TO BE USED(1) -------------------------------- Advertising and marketing (including expanding the Company's internal marketing and sales force)... $3,325,000 Research and development (including hiring additional research and development personnel)...................................... 3,000,000 Acquisition of equipment and acquisition of new product tooling (tooling that the Company provides to its contract manufacturers to enable them to manufacture the Company's products)....................................... 1,700,000 Working capital and general corporate purposes.... 9,769,000
- ------------------ (1) The amount set forth with respect to each purpose represents the Company's current estimate of the approximate amount of the net proceeds that will be used for such purpose. However, the Company reserves the right to change the amount of such net proceeds that will be used for any purpose to the extent that management determines that such change is advisable. Consequently, management of the Company will have broad discretion in determining the manner in which the net proceeds of the Offering are applied. 18 DIVIDEND POLICY The Company intends to retain all earnings for the foreseeable future for use in the operation and expansion of its business and, accordingly, the Company currently has no plans to pay dividends on its Common Stock. The payment of future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including the Company's earnings, if any, capital requirements, financial condition and requirements, business conditions, restrictions in financing agreements and such other factors as are considered to be relevant by the Board of Directors from time to time. CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth as of June 30, 1996: (i) the actual capitalization of the Company; (ii) the pro forma capitalization of the Company giving effect to the transactions related to the Bridge Financing (described under 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Bridge Financing') that were completed subsequent to June 30, 1996; and (iii) such pro forma capitalization as adjusted to give effect to (x) the sale in the Offering of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 Warrants at an initial public offering price of $7.00 per share (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof) and $0.10 per Warrant and deduction from the gross proceeds of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses and (y) the application of a portion of the net proceeds to repay the Bridge Notes and accrued interest thereon as described under 'Use of Proceeds.'

- ------------------ (1) Actual short-term debt includes the proceeds from the Bridge Financing received through June 30, 1996 less the amount of such proceeds allocated to the Bridge Warrants. Pro forma short-term debt includes the total proceeds from the Bridge Financing of $1,175,000 (including proceeds in the amount of approximately $675,000 received after June 30, 1996) less the amount of such proceeds allocated to the Bridge Warrants. In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company recorded loan discount of $458,000 and deferred financing costs of $103,000. Upon repayment of the Bridge Notes from the net proceeds of the Offering prior to the scheduled maturity of such notes (which is December 15, 1996), the unamortized portion of the loan discount and deferred financing costs at such time will be recognized as an extraordinary loss. The pro forma as adjusted accumulated deficit reflects the extraordinary loss that would have been recorded had such repayment been effected on June 30, 1996. Both pro forma stockholders' equity and pro forma as adjusted stockholders' equity include the portion of the net proceeds of the Bridge Financing allocated to the Bridge (Footnotes continued on next page) 19 (Footnotes continued from previous page) Warrants. See 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Bridge Financing.' (2) Does not include (i) 403,189 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options (257,322 of which provide for a nominal exercise price, 133,111 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $1.64 per share and 12,756 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $2.74 per share), (ii) 548,333 shares issuable upon exercise of options to be granted prior to completion of the Offering (as described under 'Management--Options to be Granted Prior to the Offering'), which options will have an exercise price equal to the the initial public offering price per share of Common stock in the Offering, (iii) 285,000 shares reserved for possible future grants of options under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan and (iv) shares issuable upon the exercise of the Bridge Warrants. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants will be determined by dividing (x) $1,262,500 by (y) the initial public offering price per share of Common stock in the Offering, and the exercise price per share will equal 10% of such initial public offering price. Assuming an initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof), the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants would be 180,357 and the exercise price per share would be $0.70. See 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Bridge Financing.' (3) Does not include (i) 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants sold in the Offering, (ii) 300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants and (iii) Warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants. 20 DILUTION The net tangible book value of the Company at June 30, 1996, would have been approximately $184,000, or $0.05 per share of Common Stock, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to (i) the receipt of approximately $675,000 of proceeds from a portion of the Bridge Financing subsequent to June 30, 1996 and the issuance of 105,358 Bridge Warrants subsequent to such date, (ii) the exercise of all the Bridge Warrants (based on an exercise price of $0.70 per share) and (iii) the exercise of 403,189 outstanding options (257,322 of which provide for a nominal exercise price, 133,111 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $1.64 per share and 12,756 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $2.74 per share). After giving effect to the foregoing and also giving effect to the sale by the Company of the Securities offered hereby and deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, the net tangible book value of the Company at June 30, 1996, on a pro forma basis would have been approximately $17,450,000 or $2.68 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $2.63 to the Company's existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $4.32 per share to new stockholders purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offering. The foregoing calculation and the table below assumes an initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof) and per Warrant of $0.10. The following table illustrates this dilution of a per share basis: Assumed initial public offering price per share...................................... $ 7.00 Pro forma net tangible book value per share before the Offering(1)(2).......................... 0.05 Increase per share attributable to new investors............................... 2.63 Pro forma net tangible book value per share after the Offering(1)(2)................... 2.68(4) ------ Dilution per share to new investors(3)....... $ 4.32(4) ------ ------
- ------------------ (1) Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock is determined by dividing the Company's tangible net worth (tangible assets less liabilities) by the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. (2) Pro forma net tangible book value before the Offering gives effect to (i) the receipt of approximately $675,000 of proceeds from a portion of the Bridge Financing subsequent to June 30, 1996 and the issuance of 105,358 Bridge Warrants subsequent to such date, (ii) the exercise of all the Bridge Warrants (based on an exercise price of $0.70 per share) and (iii) the exercise of 403,189 outstanding options. Pro forma tangible book value after the Offering gives effect to the foregoing and, in addition, gives effect to the sale by the Company of the Securities offered hereby and deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. (3) Dilution is determined by subtracting pro forma net tangible book value after the Offering from the initial public offering price per share. (4) If the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, the pro forma net tangible book value per share after the Offering would be $2.91 and the dilution per share to new investors would be $4.09. See 'Underwriting.' 21 The following table sets forth on a pro forma basis (giving effect to the transactions described in the following sentence): (i) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased from the Company by its existing stockholders, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by investors in the Offering, (iii) the total consideration paid to the Company by its existing stockholders and by such investors and (iv) the average price paid per share paid by its existing stockholders and such investors. The information in the following table gives pro forma effect to (a) the sale of the Securities offered hereby, (b) the exercise of all Bridge Warrants (based on an exercise price of $0.70 per share) and (c) the exercise of 403,189 outstanding options. The information in the table assumes an initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof) and per Warrant of $0.10.

- ------------------ (1) Assumes that the consideration for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants is equal to $458,000, representing the portion of the gross proceeds of the Bridge Financing allocated to the Bridge Warrants, plus the aggregate proceeds to be received by the Company in respect of the exercise price of such warrants. (2) If the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, the number of shares purchased by new investors would be 3,450,000 (or 49.5% of the total number of shares purchased by existing stockholders and new investors) and the total consideration paid by new investors would be 24,495,000 (or 81.6% of the total consideration paid for the Common Stock by existing stockholders and new investors). (3) Allocates the total gross proceeds from the Offering to the Common Stock sold in the Offering. 22 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA The balance sheet data presented below as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the income statement data presented below for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 are derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, which have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, and are included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

- ------------------ (1) For information concerning the computation of net loss per share, see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated Financial Statements. 23 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Since it was formed in 1990, the Company has been incurring significant expenses intended to provide benefits in future periods, as the Company executes its strategy of developing and bringing to market new products. These expenses include (i) research and development ('R&D') expenses incurred by the Company in connection with developing new products, (ii) selling, general and administrative expenses ('SG&A') incurred by the Company in connection with establishing a portion of the management, administrative, sales and distribution capability that it believes will be required in future periods in order to enable it to successfully commercialize the products that it develops and (iii) SG&A expenses incurred in connection with attempting to commercialize the three products that the Company has developed to date: CompuPhone 2000, CompuNet 2000 and WPS-1000. During the period from January 1, 1993 through June 30, 1996, the Company incurred aggregate R&D expenses (net of contributions by the Government of Israel Chief Scientist) and SG&A expenses of $5.59 million ($0.82 million of R&D and $4.77 million of SG&A). At the same time, during the period January 1, 1993 through June 30, 1996, the Company had only limited revenues ($1.18 million in the aggregate, substantially all of which was generated subsequent to 1994). The Company's limited revenues to date reflect a number of factors, including: (i) the Company first commenced sales of CompuPhone 2000 in 1995, (ii) a predecessor version of CompuPhone 2000 that lacked many features of the current product and was more expensive was introduced in 1992 but did not gain market acceptance, (iii) the Company has not yet commenced sales of CompuNet 2000 or WPS-1000 and (iv) the Company's sales and promotional efforts relating to CompuPhone 2000 and its ability to bring its other two products to market have been limited due to financial constraints. Reflecting the disparity between the Company's expenses and revenues described above, the Company has had net losses in each period since its inception and, as of June 30, 1996, had an accumulated deficit of $6.20 million. Such conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The report of independent accountants on the Company's financial statements at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, contains an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern while expressing doubt about the Company's ability to do so without the infusion of additional capital. The Company's financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In order for the Company to achieve profitability, the Company must significantly increase its revenues. The Company's near-term plan for increasing revenues has two primary components. First, the Company expects to commence sales of CompuNet 2000 by the end of 1996 and WPS-1000 in the first quarter of 1997. Second, the Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to significantly increase its advertising and marketing efforts relating to all its products. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will succeed in commencing sales of CompuNet 2000 and WPS-1000 within the contemplated time frames or at all; that any of the Company's products will achieve market acceptance (or sufficient market acceptance to make the product profitable); or that the allocation of significant additional resources to advertising and marketing efforts will result in increased sales. See 'Risk Factors--Considerations Relating to the Business of the Company.' RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND JUNE 30, 1995 Net Sales. Net Sales in the first six months of 1996 were $208,000, representing a decrease of 41.4% from net sales of $355,000 in the first six months of 1995. This decrease primarily reflected lower unit sales of CompuPhone 2000. As noted above, the Company believes that financial constraints which limited its promotional efforts contributed to the decrease in sales relating to CompuPhone 2000. However, there can be no assurance that this decrease does not reflect lack of market acceptance of the product or that the allocation of significant additional resources to sales and promotional efforts will result in increased sales. 24 Gross Profit. Gross profit was 46.4% of net sales in the first six months of 1996 compared with 34.4% in the first six months of 1995. This increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales primarily reflected the fact that (i) average selling prices were higher in the first half of 1996 than in the first half of 1995 (primarily because the Company made more promotional sales in the first half of 1995) and (ii) the Company incurred certain initial quality control and air freight costs in the first half of 1995 relating to the introduction of CompuPhone 2000. SG&A. The Company had fewer employees in the first half of 1996 than in the first half of 1995, reflecting staff reductions necessitated due to the Company's increasing deficit. However, the costs savings associated with such staff reductions were offset by compensation increases to remaining employees. As a result, there was no material change in SG&A in the first half of 1996 compared with the first half of 1995. R&D, Net. R&D expenses increased to $151,000 in the first six months of 1996 from $115,000 in the first six months of 1995. This increase primarily reflected increased research and development activities relating to CompuNet 2000 and WPS-1000, as well as compensation increases to certain employees involved in research and development. Interest Income (expense). In the first six months of 1996, the Company had interest expense of $77,000 compared with interest income of $27,000 in the first six months of 1995. The interest expense in 1996 primarily reflected (i) interest on the Bridge Notes and the amortization of loan discount and deferred financing costs relating to such notes and (ii) interest on bank overdrafts. See '--Bridge Financing.' YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 Net Sales. Net sales in 1995 increased to $804,000 from $86,000 in 1994 and $77,000 in 1993. This increase primarily reflected the fact that the Company commenced sales of CompuPhone 2000 in early 1995. The minimal net sales in 1994 and 1993 were attributable to sales of a predecessor version of CompuPhone 2000. This predecessor version, which was introduced by the Company in 1992, lacked many features of the current product and was more expensive. This product did not gain market acceptance, and the Company discontinued sales of this product in late 1994. Gross Profit. Gross profit in 1995 was 35.3% of net sales. In view of the fact that the Company had minimal net sales in 1994 and 1993 and such sales related to a discontinued product, the Company believes that the gross profit amounts for such periods are not meaningful in the context of the Company's current business operations. SG&A. SG&A expenses were $1.63 million, $1.72 million and $0.60 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The significant increase in SG&A expenses in 1995 and 1994 compared with 1993 primarily reflected expenses incurred in anticipation of, and as a result of, the commercial introduction of CompuPhone 2000. Such expenses related primarily to (i) hiring additional staff for sales, administration, technical support and warehouse operations, (ii) leasing warehouse space and (iii) regulatory compliance matters. Although the Company first commenced sales of CompuPhone 2000 in early 1995, the Company began incurring expenses in anticipation of such sales in early 1994 because originally the company had planned to commence such sales in mid-1994. However, the Company's ability to commence sales was delayed for approximately six months due to the fact that the original contract manufacturer of the product did not perform in accordance with the Company's expectations and, as a result, the Company had to seek a replacement. The increase in SG&A expenses in 1995 and 1994 compared with 1993 also reflected the recognition of non-cash compensation expense of $196,000 and $588,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, compared with no such expense in 1993. Such non-cash compensation expense resulted from the grant of options that provided for an exercise price that was less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. The Company in 1996 paid to a customer that accounted for approximately 18% of net sales in 1995 approximately $72,000 as an allowance, and this payment is reflected in 1995 SG&A. The Company determined to make this payment after the customer indicated to the Company that it wished to return certain of the CompuPhone 2000 units that it had purchased but had not yet paid for. Although the Company believes that the 25 customer had no contractual right to return the units, the Company nevertheless determined that it would be in the Company's long-term interest to support sales of the Company's product by this customer. R&D, Net. R&D expenses were $351,000, $292,000 and $30,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Such amounts are net of contributions by the Government of Israel Chief Scientist in the amount of $2,000, $47,000 and $35,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. See 'Israeli Taxation--Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1994.' The significant increase in R&D expenses in 1995 and 1994 compared with 1993 primarily reflected the fact that the Company (i) in 1994 increased its research and development efforts in connection with developing CompuPhone 2000 and WPS-1000 and (ii) in 1995 increased its research and development efforts in connection with developing CompuNet 2000 and potential enhancements for CompuPhone 2000. In addition, such increase reflected compensation increases in 1994 and 1995 to certain employees involved in research and development. CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS A substantial amount of the Company's business is conducted in the State of Israel through the Company's Israeli Subsidiaries. For certain information concerning the taxation of the Israeli Subsidiaries under Israeli law, see 'Israeli Taxation.' Each of the Israeli Subsidiaries will be a controlled foreign corporation (a 'CFC') for United States tax purposes. As a result, ITI USA will be required to include in its income its pro rata share of each such subsidiary's subpart F income, and may also be required to include certain additional amounts if such subsidiary has investments in United States property or passive assets in excess of certain levels (in each case irrespective of whether such subsidiary has made any distributions to ITI USA). For this purpose 'subpart F income' includes certain income derived from transactions with related parties and certain types of passive income such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and annuities, but does not include, among other things, rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business. The Company does not currently expect that any of the Israeli Subsidiaries will have any material amount of subpart F income, or any material investments in United States property or any passive assets materially in excess of the prescribed levels. However, no assurance can be given in this regard. If any Israeli Subsidiary were to have any subpart F income, or any investments in the United States property or passive assets in excess of the prescribed levels, ITI USA could be subject to income tax relating to an Israeli Subsidiary's earnings or assets, irrespective of whether such subsidiary has made any distributions to ITI USA. This may have the effect of increasing the Company's effective tax rate. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As described above, the Company has had only limited revenues to date and had an accumulated deficit of $6.20 million as of June 30, 1996. As a result, the Company has had negative cash flow from operations during each year since it commenced operations and during the first half of 1996. The amount of cash used by the Company for operating activities was $0.60 million, $1.40 million, $1.72 million and $0.53 million during 1993, 1994, 1995 and the first six months of 1996, respectively. The Company has funded its cash requirements primarily through the private placement of Common Stock. In addition, the Company funded a portion of its cash requirements during 1996 through the bridge financing described under '--Bridge Financing.' The Company expects that following the Offering its principal cash requirements will be to fund operating activities and working capital. The Company expects that the cash required for such purposes will increase significantly following the Offering primarily as a result of the Company's plans to (i) commence production and sales of CompuNet 2000 and WPS-1000, (ii) increase its sales and marketing personnel and research and development personnel and (iii) increase advertising. To the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund the Company's cash requirements, the Company expects to fund such requirements from the net proceeds of the Offering. The Company does not have any bank or other lines of credit available to it at present. The Company estimates that the net proceeds of the Offering and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its cash requirements for at least 12 months following completion of the Offering, although 26 there can be no assurance of this. As described under 'Risk Factors,' there are numerous future developments or events that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. The occurrence of one or more of these events or developments, as well as the occurrence of other unanticipated events or developments may cause the foregoing estimate to be inaccurate. In addition, management may determine that it is in the best interest of the Company to expand more rapidly than currently intended, in which case additional financing may be required. If additional financing is required, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company and at the times required by the Company, or at all. BRIDGE FINANCING During the period April 30, 1996, through July 30, 1996, the Company completed a bridge financing (the 'Bridge Financing'). The gross proceeds from the Bridge Financing were $1,175,000 and the net proceeds to the Company from such financing (after deduction of commissions and the estimated expenses of such financing) were approximately $1.06 million. The Company used the net proceeds of the Bridge Financing to fund working capital requirements, general corporate purposes and the Company's financing plans. In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company issued promissory notes (the 'Bridge Notes') in the aggregate principal amount of $1,175,000. The Bridge Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable, together with accrued interest, on the earlier of (i) 10 days after completion of the Offering or (ii) December 15, 1996. The Company plans to repay the Bridge Notes from the net proceeds of the Offering. See 'Use of Proceeds.' In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company also issued certain warrants (the 'Bridge Warrants'). The Bridge Warrants include warrants (the 'Investor Bridge Warrants') issued to each recipient of a Bridge Note to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Note issued to such recipient by (ii) the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering. The Bridge Warrants also include warrants (the 'Other Bridge Warrants') issued to certain parties (including the Representative) that assisted the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Other Bridge Warrants will be determined by dividing (i) $87,500 by (ii) the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering. Approximately 28.6% of the Other Bridge Warrants were issued to the Representative. The Bridge Warrants provide for an exercise price per share equal to 10% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering. The gross proceeds from the Bridge Financing were allocated 61% to the Bridge Notes and 39% to the Investor Bridge Warrants (based on their relative fair values at the dates of such Bridge Financing). In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company recorded (i) loan discount of $458,000 (representing the portion of the gross proceeds from the Bridge Financing that was allocated to the Bridge Warrants) and (ii) deferred financing costs of $103,000 (representing the portion of the expenses of the Bridge Financing that was allocated to the Bridge Notes). Such loan discount and deferred financing costs are being amortized over the estimated terms of the Bridge Notes, and for the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized $33,000 of non-cash interest expense. Upon repayment of the Bridge Notes from the net proceeds of the Offering, the unamortized portion of the loan discount and deferred financing costs at such time will be recognized as an extraordinary loss. 27 BUSINESS Integrated Technology designs, develops and markets innovative products for two rapidly emerging computer-related markets: Internet Telephony (the transmission of voice communications over the Internet) and computer/telephone integration. The Company has also developed a wireless printing product that the Company believes has certain advantages over products currently on the market. With the introduction by various companies of software that enables Internet Telephony, the Company has focused on developing add-on products that, when used with such software, can expand the potential benefits of Internet Telephony, make Internet Telephony more productive and efficient, and simplify the ancillary hardware devices required for Internet Telephony. The first product developed by the Company for this market is CompuNet 2000. This product is a PC keyboard that also functions as a conventional telephone and enables the conferencing together of an Internet and conventional telephone call. This feature allows each party on an Internet call that is using CompuNet 2000 to add an additional party that is using a conventional telephone. In addition, a handset or optional headset attached to CompuNet 2000 functions as the sound transmitting hardware device required for Internet Telephony (rather than a microphone and external speakers which are the devices typically being utilized). This feature enables CompuNet 2000 users to employ a single handset or headset for both conventional and Internet calls, thereby eliminating desktop clutter and enabling parties to an Internet call to conduct private conversations. Furthermore, when used for conventional telephone calls, CompuNet 2000 has the same functionality as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product described below. For the computer/telephone integration market, the Company has developed CompuPhone 2000. This product is a PC keyboard that enables users to make and receive telephone calls using the PC keyboard (together with a headset that is provided with the product or an optional handset) without the need for a conventional telephone or modem. Included with CompuPhone 2000 is proprietary telephone management software that integrates the telephone function with the computer. This software enables a number of features for enhancing productivity and efficiency, including the ability to dial from a screen or data base (rather than manually dialing), automatic logging of information concerning each call, and the ability to record notes regarding each call in a 'note box' that can appear automatically. CompuPhone 2000 also interfaces with most widely used personal information management programs. BACKGROUND INTERNET TELEPHONY Over the past one and one-half years, various companies have developed and released software that enables voice and audio communications over the Internet. By employing this type of software, users can conduct unlimited long distance and international conversations over the Internet for the price of an Internet connection. Based upon current cost structures, the cost of a long distance or international Internet call can be substantially lower than the cost of a comparable conventional telephone call, making Internet Telephony a potentially attractive alternative or supplement to a conventional telephone call. In view of the emergence of Internet Telephony as a potentially significant medium for voice communications, the Company believes that the market for products that can broaden and expand the potential of Internet Telephony, make Internet Telephony more productive and efficient, and simplify the ancillary hardware devices required for Internet Telephony has the potential for significant growth. The CompuNet 2000 developed by the Company is an example of this type of product. COMPUTER/TELEPHONE INTEGRATION There has emerged in recent years a growing market for products that integrate computers with telephones. This market has been driven by the recognition that such integration has the potential to enhance user productivity and efficiency in a wide range of activities. For example, in connection with many activities involving telephone communications it is important that a caller have the ability to place calls accurately and quickly and/or that one party to a call have the ability to access or collect data concerning the other party. These include activities such as telemarketing, order processing, customer service and support, market research, and emergency dispatching. The efficiency and productivity of the personnel involved in these activities can 28 potentially be significantly increased by solutions that (i) integrate computer data base capabilities and other computer capabilities with the telephone function and/or (ii) integrate and simplify the hardware required in order to place and receive telephone calls while simultaneously working with a computer. The CompuPhone 2000 developed by the Company is an example of a product that provides both of these solutions. STRATEGY The Company's objective is to become a leading developer and vendor of a wide range of products for the Internet Telephony and computer/telephone integration markets. To achieve this objective, the Company is pursuing a strategy that involves the following key elements: Continue to Enhance Existing Products. The Company intends to devote significant research and development resources in order to continue to develop enhancements to its existing products and extensions of these products. The Company's principal focus is on enhancements and extensions that will provide its existing products with additional functionality and expand the potential end user market for these products. Leverage Existing Technology Base to Develop Additional Products. The Company also intends to devote significant research and development resources in order to develop new products for its target markets. The Company believes that its existing technology base and the substantial experience gained by the Company's product development team in connection with developing its existing products will provide the Company with a significant advantage in its efforts to develop new products. Establish Strategic Alliances. While the Company relies primarily on its internal product development efforts, it may determine from time to time that the acquisition or licensing of certain technology or components is more economically feasible than internal development. Accordingly, the Company intends to explore the possibility of establishing strategic alliances with companies that can provide the Company with technology, subsystems or complementary products which can be integrated into or offered with the Company's products. For example, the Company has recently entered into an agreement with VocalTec Ltd. that grants the Company the right to bundle an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) version of VocalTec's Internet Telephony enabling software with the Company's CompuNet 2000 product. See '--End Users, Distribution Sales and Marketing.' Increase Marketing. The Company currently markets products directly and through independent representatives and distributors. However, the Company's marketing efforts to date have been limited due to financial constraints. The Company intends to increase its marketing capability by expanding the Company's internal sales force; establishing relationships with additional independent representatives and distributors; and significantly increasing advertising. In addition, the Company is seeking to enter into arrangements with OEMs, such as computer manufacturers, pursuant to which OEMs will incorporate the Company's products into their finished hardware products. Leverage Third-Party Manufacturing Expertise. The Company currently outsources substantially all of its manufacturing requirements and expects that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future (other than software production which the Company expects will be done at the Company's Israeli facilities). The Company believes that outsourcing the manufacturing function enables the Company to gain access to advanced production technologies and reduces the Company's capital requirements. Outsourcing also allows the Company to focus more of its resources on its core competencies--product design and development and marketing. INTERNET TELEPHONY PRODUCT BACKGROUND In order to make an Internet call using Internet Telephony enabling software, a user must employ hardware devices that transmit sound from the user to a sound card in the computer (or other device in the computer providing audio capability) and from the computer to the user. The hardware devices that are typically being employed to perform these functions are a microphone for transmitting sound and speakers for receiving sound. However, the use of these devices as the enabling hardware for Internet Telephony has significant limitations. 29 First, the use of a microphone and speakers for Internet Telephony does not permit the easy conferencing of an Internet telephone call with a conventional telephone call. Second, three separate hardware devices (a conventional telephone, a microphone and speakers) are required in order for a user to have both conventional telephone and Internet Telephony capability. This leads to clutter and confusion on the desktop and requires the user to switch between different devices, leading to reduced productivity. Third, the use of a microphone and speakers does not permit the parties to conduct a private conversation. COMPUNET 2000 CompuNet 2000 is a new product that the Company has developed in order to address the limitations that are inherent in using a microphone and speakers as the enabling hardware for Internet Telephony. The Company expects to commence sales of this product by the end of 1996 pursuant to a distribution agreement with Gemini Industries, Inc. See ' --End Users, Distribution, Sales and Marketing--Distribution Channels.' CompuNet 2000 is a PC keyboard that has special features specifically designed for use in connection with Internet Telephony. In addition, CompuNet 2000 allows users to make and receive conventional telephone calls using the PC keyboard (without the need for a conventional telephone or modem) in the same manner as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product. CompuNet 2000 also includes the same telephone management software as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product. (For a description of CompuPhone 2000 and the Company's proprietary telephone management software, see '--Computer/Telephone Integration Product' below.) CompuNet 2000 is designed to operate with IBM and IBM compatible PCs. The CompuNet 2000 has the following features that are designed specifically for use in connection with Internet Telephony. Enables Conferencing of Internet and Conventional Calls. The CompuNet 2000 enables the conferencing together of an Internet and conventional telephone call. This feature allows each party on an Internet call that is using CompuNet 2000 to conference in an additional party that is using a conventional telephone. Such conferencing can be effected by the CompuNet 2000 user employing the keyboard/telephone to either place a conventional telephone call to the party to be added or answering an incoming conventional telephone call from such party. Enables Elimination of Multiple Hardware Devices and Enables Private Conversations. The CompuNet 2000 enables a handset or headset that is plugged into the keyboard/telephone to transmit and receive sound from the computer's sound card (in addition to being able to function directly with a conventional telephone line). This allows the CompuNet 2000 to be used, instead of a microphone and speakers, as the sound transmitting hardware required for Internet Telephony. This feature, coupled with the conventional telephone capabilities of CompuNet's keyboard/telephone, enables a CompuNet 2000 user to employ a single hardware device for both conventional and Internet telephone calls (rather than requiring a conventional telephone, a microphone and speakers). This simplifies the making of both types of calls and eliminates clutter and confusion on the desktop. In addition, the use of a handset or headset (rather than a microphone and speakers) as the sound transmitting hardware for Internet Telephony enable the parties to an Internet call to conduct a private conversation. The Company believes that these features have the potential to broaden and expand the uses of Internet Telephony; make Internet Telephony more productive and efficient; and simplify the ancillary hardware devices required for Internet Telephony. PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS AND EXTENSIONS The Company intends to devote significant research and development resources in order to continue to develop enhancements to its CompuNet 2000 product and extensions of this product. Among the new features and functions that the Company may seek to develop are: o multiple-party conferencing capability (the current product allows each CompuNet user to conference in a single party); 30 o enhanced telephone management software that is integrated with both Internet and conventional telephone calls (the Company's proprietary telephone management software that is included with CompuNet 2000 currently works only with conventional telephone calls); and o remote access capability (i.e., the ability to access Internet Telephony features remotely). In addition, certain of the enhancements that the Company is considering developing for CompuPhone 2000 (as described under '--Computer/Telephone Integration Product--Product Enhancements and Extensions') may, if successfully developed, also be incorporated into CompuNet 2000. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating which product enhancements and/or extensions it will seek to develop and has not made any final determination with regard thereto. No assurance can be given that the Company will seek to develop any of the above-described new features or functions or that it will succeed in developing any new feature or function that it seeks to develop. COMPUTER/TELEPHONE INTEGRATION PRODUCT For the computer/telephone integration market, the Company has developed CompuPhone 2000. The Company commenced sales of this product in early 1995. CompuPhone 2000 is a PC keyboard that enables users to make and receive telephone calls using the PC keyboard (together with a headset that is provided with the product or an optional handset) without the need for a conventional telephone or modem. Included with CompuPhone 2000 is telephone management software (named 'Autodial Software') developed by the Company to integrate the telephone function with the computer. CompuPhone 2000 also interfaces with most widely used Windows-based personal information manager programs ('PIMs'). The CompuPhone 2000 is designed to operate with IBM and IBM compatible PCs. A CompuPhone 2000 keyboard generally has the same appearance as a conventional keyboard but has two additional keys (one labeled 'phone' and one labeled 'line'). The keyboard (together with a headset or handset) performs all the functions of a conventional, single-line telephone, as well as all the normal PC keyboard functions. Incoming calls are indicated by ringing (or, at the user's option, by only a flashing light on the keyboard). Pressing the 'line' key answers an incoming call. Pressing the 'line' key also hangs up a completed call. An outgoing telephone call can be initiated by pressing the 'phone' key and manually dialing with the keyboard's numeric keypad (which is designed to resemble the keys of a conventional telephone). In addition, a call may be initiated through use of the Autodial Software (Windows version) as follows: Highlighting Number. A call can be initiated by highlighting a telephone number in any Windows or Windows 95 application and pressing designated keys on the keyboard. Dialing From Card File. Any number stored in 'Cardfile' (an accessory included with Windows 3.X) can be dialed by opening Cardfile, choosing the card containing the desired number and pressing a designated key. The 'CompuPhone 2000 Autodial Box' then appears with the selected number inserted and the call can be completed by choosing 'OK'. Dialing Using CompuPhone 2000 Autodial Box. Pressing specified keys causes the 'CompuPhone 2000 Autodial Box' to appear. Once this box appears, a call can be initiated by typing the number to be dialed and choosing 'OK'. Dialing Using Personal Information Manager Programs. By making certain adjustments through Autodial Software, any call that is placed through most Windows-based PIMs or other contact management programs (using the normal procedures for placing calls with these programs) will dial through the CompuPhone 2000 telephone line rather than through a modem. The CompuPhone 2000 keyboard also enables the following telephone features to be controlled through pressing a designated key (or keys) on the keyboard: volume; redial; mute; call forwarding; and call waiting. (The call forwarding and call waiting features only work to the extent that the local telephone line being used enables these features.) The Autodial Software, in addition to facilitating dialing, automatically creates a log that records the date, time, duration and telephone number of each telephone call that is initiated through CompuPhone 2000. A similar 31 log is created for incoming calls, except that the number of the caller is not recorded. The Autodial software also enables a user to enter notes regarding a call in a 'note box' that appears whenever a call is made or received. The use of the CompuPhone 2000 keyboard to conduct a telephone call does not interfere with the simultaneous running of other applications (except during the time when the call is being dialed or disconnected). In order for a user to employ the keyboard to enter data while simultaneously using it to conduct a telephone conversation, the user simply presses the 'phone' key. This enables the user to access all conventional keyboard functions while continuing the telephone conversation without interruption. Installation of CompuPhone 2000 involves a simple process: (i) unplug the existing keyboard from the computer and substitute the CompuPhone 2000 keyboard, (ii) connect one end of a telephone cable to the CompuPhone 2000 keyboard and the other to any single-line, analog telephone outlet, (iii) plug a headset or handset into the CompuPhone 2000 keyboard and (iv) install the Autodial Software. The Company believes that its CompuPhone 2000 keyboard/telephone and related Autodial Software offers users many potential advantages, including: Improves Productivity and Customer Service. There are many business activities that require high-volume telephone contacts and the simultaneous use of a computer. These include activities such as telemarketing, order processing, customer service and support, market research, and emergency dispatching. The use of CompuPhone 2000, rather than a conventional telephone, in connection with these activities offers several benefits, including: o Use of CompuPhone 2000 eliminates the need to continuously switch between two separate devices (i.e., the keyboard and the telephone). This saves time and reduces stress. o The features of the Autodial Software that enable dialing from the screen or a data base (rather than manually dialing) speeds the dialing process and reduces dialing errors that waste time and resources. o Conducting a telephone call via the CompuPhone 2000 keyboard does not interfere with the running of computer applications or the use of the keyboard for conventional keyboard functions. As a result, a user of CompuPhone 2000 can conveniently conduct a telephone conversation while simultaneously accessing or entering data relevant to the conversation. In addition, the 'note box' feature of the Autodial Software enables a user to enter notes regarding each call. Enables Call Pattern Monitoring. The call logging feature of the Autodial Software can provide a user with information concerning call patterns. This information can be a valuable asset for business planning and decision making. In addition, this information can assist management in reducing waste by providing a simple mechanism for monitoring employee calling records. Saves Desktop Space. Because CompuPhone 2000 performs all of the functions of a conventional, single-line telephone, a user may have no need to maintain a separate telephone instrument on the desktop. Allows Use of Touch Tones. Interactive voice response applications (such as a voice mail) enable callers to use 'touch tones' to navigate through a process or data base. Because CompuPhone 2000 works directly through conventional telephone lines without use of a modem, it has the same touch tone capability as a conventional telephone. By contrast, if a telephone call is placed through use of a modem, touch tone capability generally is lost. The above description of CompuPhone 2000 and the related Autodial Software is based upon the Windows version of the software. The Company also makes available a DOS version of the software. The DOS version operates differently than the Windows version (e.g., the mechanics and instructions for dialing using the software are different) but overall it provides substantially the same general functionality as the Windows version (with certain exceptions, including that it does not support interfacing with PIMs or other contact management programs). 32 PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS AND EXTENSIONS The Company intends to devote significant research and development resources in order to continue to develop enhancements to its CompuPhone 2000 product and extensions of this product. Among the new features and functions that the Company may seek to develop are: o multiple-line capability (the current product is a single-line telephone); o a speaker phone option; o a standby power supply that will enable the product to be used even when the computer is shut down; o automatic call answering and message recording capability; o integrated caller-ID and 'screen popping' capability (i.e., caller-ID identifies the caller and relevant data base information then automatically 'pops' up on the screen); o automatic dialing capability for telemarketing and similar functions; and o enhanced capability to be integrated with PBX and other telephone systems (the current product can only be used on the analog port of PBX systems). The Company is currently in the process of evaluating which product enhancements and/or extensions it will seek to develop and has not made any final determination with regard thereto. No assurance can be given that the Company will seek to develop any of the above-described new features or functions or that it will succeed in developing any new feature or function that it seeks to develop. WIRELESS PRINTING PRODUCT The Company has developed a relatively low-priced product that enables wireless printing from a laptop computer (i.e., printing without the need to attach cables between the computer and the printer). The Company plans to market this product under the name WPS-1000. This product, which uses diffuse infrared technology, is effective at a distance of approximately 15 feet and does not require line-of-sight alignment with the printer. Although there are existing products that enable wireless printing, the Company believes that these products are either significantly more expensive (such as products based on RF technology) or are only effective at much shorter distances (approximately three feet for products based on IRDA technology). The WPS-1000 is currently in the preproduction, prototype stage. The Company expects to commence the commercial introduction of this product in the first quarter of 1997, although there can be no assurance of this. See 'Risk Factors-- Considerations Relating to the Business of the Company--Certain Risks Specific to the WPS-1000 Product.' The WPS-1000 is comprised of two small devices, a receiver (approximately 4.5' by 4.25' by 2.75') and a transmitter (approximately 4.5' by 3' by 1'). When the receiver is plugged into a printer and the transmitter into a laptop computer's parallel port and PS/2 port, a user can print wirelessly by executing the normal print command. No special software drivers or additional configuration is required. The back of the receiver is equipped with a port into which a printer cable can be plugged. This feature permits a user to keep the receiver permanently plugged into the printer, while retaining the ability to link the printer and a desktop computer via a conventional cable. Consequently, the WPS-1000 can be used as a 'printer sharing device' that enables a single printer to print wirelessly from one computer and via a cable from a second computer. END USERS, DISTRIBUTION, SALES AND MARKETING END USER MARKETS The end user markets for the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product include home PC users (both for personal and business functions) and small offices. In addition, such end user markets include large corporations that can benefit from using CompuPhone 2000 in connection with selected activities that involve high-volume telephone contacts and simultaneous computer use, but do not require a multi-line system. These may include activities such as telemarketing, order processing, customer service and support, market research, and emergency dispatching. The corporate customers that have purchased CompuPhone 2000 include Lucent Technologies Inc. 33 and AT&T Atlantic, which together have purchased an aggregate of approximately 600 units of CompuPhone 2000 for use in telemarketing operations. The Company believes that the potential end user markets for CompuNet 2000 and WPS-1000 include home PC users (both for personal and business functions), small offices and large corporations. However, sales of these products has not yet commenced and, consequently, there is no historical data upon which to base an assessment as to the nature of the end user markets, if any, that will develop for these products. DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS The Company currently markets its products directly and through independent representatives and distributors. The Company's independent representatives market the Company's products to customers, but any sales that are generated by independent representatives are made directly by the Company to the customer. The Company's distributors purchase products from the Company on a wholesale basis for resale to customers. Both the Company and its distributors may sell products (i) directly to end user customers and (ii) to retailers and mail order vendors for resale to end user customers. The Company's CompuPhone 2000 product is presently carried by several leading United States retailers of PC peripherals and is also presently advertised in a number of catalogues distributed by mail order vendors. The Company's objective is to expand its distribution capability, which to date been limited due to financial constraints. In order to achieve this objective, the Company intends to increase its marketing capability by expanding the Company's internal sales and marketing force, establishing relationships with additional independent representatives and distributors, and significantly increasing advertising. In addition, the Company is seeking to enter into arrangements with OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), such as computer manufacturers, pursuant to which OEMs will incorporate the Company's products into their finished hardware products. The Company plans to commence sales of CompuNet 2000 by the end of 1996. In furtherance of such plan, the Company has recently entered into a distribution agreement with Gemini Industries, Inc. ('Gemini'), and a bundling agreement with VocalTec, Ltd. ('VocalTec'), relating to CompuNet 2000. Additional information concerning these agreements is provided below. Distribution Agreement with Gemini. The Company has entered into a distribution agreement with Gemini that provides Gemini with the exclusive right to distribute CompuNet 2000 in the United States through retail stores to end users during the term of the agreement. The Company has retained the right to distribute the product through other distribution channels in the United States and without any limitations outside the United States. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, Gemini has committed to purchase 10,000 units of CompuNet 2000 in 1996 from the Company (subject to the condition that the Company is able to make the product available in a timely manner and in the quantities requested by Gemini for particular time periods, including traditional selling seasons). Thereafter, Gemini must purchase at least 10,000 units per month in order to maintain it exclusivity right (but it is not contractually obligated to do so). The term of this agreement commences on June 1, 1996 and extends until the end of 1997 (subject to extension by mutual agreement). Gemini has the right to terminate the agreement under certain circumstances, including if (i) the Company fails to comply with its material obligation under the agreement (subject to specified notice provisions and cure rights) or (ii) if any competitive product is offered in the market place and the Company fails to keep Gemini competitive in price and quality. Bundling Agreement with VocalTec. The Company has entered into a bundling agreement with VocalTec that extends until January 3, 1998. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company may bundle an OEM version of VocalTec's Internet Telephony enabling software with CompuNet 2000 and is required to pay VocalTec a fee for each unit of such software that it bundles. The OEM version of VocalTec's software does not have all the functionality of more advanced versions of such software that VocalTec markets. The Company expects that it will include with CompuNet 2000 a 'coupon' that will allow the purchaser to upgrade to a more advanced version of VocalTec's software by paying a specified fee to VocalTec. The Company is entitled to receive a sales assistance fee from VocalTec with regard to each purchaser of CompuNet 2000 that pays for such an upgrade. 34 SALES The Company sells its products both in the United States and in international markets. Sales in the United States accounted for approximately 76% and 82% of the Company's net sales in 1995 and the first six months of 1996, respectively, and international sales for the balance. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of the Company's revenues and accounts receivable may be accounted for by a limited number of key customers, the identity of which may vary from period to period. In 1995, Neostar Retail Group Inc. (the parent of the Software Etc. Stores, Inc. and Babbage's, Inc. retail chains) accounted for approximately 18% of net sales. In the first six months of 1996, Staples, Inc., Lucent Technologies Inc., and Future Shop, Inc. accounted for approximately 12%, 11%, and 11% of net sales, respectively. Except for the customers identified above, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's net sales in 1995 or the first six months of 1996. MARKETING In view of the recent introduction of the Company's products and the innovative nature of the technology incorporated therein, the Company believes that in order to drive end user demand it is critical that the Company devote significant resources to increasing awareness of its products and the many advantages which they provide. However, to date the Company's promotional efforts have been limited due to financial constraints. Following the Offering, the Company intends to significantly increase it promotional efforts through multiple channels. These may include general advertising, advertising in trade publications, in-store advertising, catalogue advertising, targeted direct mail campaigns, participation in trade shows, and advertising on the Internet. In addition, the Company plans to increase its sales and marketing staff. MANUFACTURING The Company currently outsources substantially all of its manufacturing and assembly requirements and expects that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future (other than software production which the Company expects will be done at the Company's Israeli facilities). The Company believes that outsourcing the manufacturing function provides the Company with several potential advantages, including (i) enabling the Company to gain access to advanced production technologies, (ii) reducing the Company's capital requirements and (iii) allowing the Company to focus more of its resources on its core competencies--product design and development and marketing. However, there are also significant risks associated with such outsourcing. See 'Risk Factors--Dependence on Contract Manufacturers.' The Company currently employs Monterey International Corp. ('Monterey'), a contract manufacturer with facilities in Taiwan, to manufacture CompuPhone 2000. The Company expects that it will also use Monterey to manufacture CompuNet 2000 (except as described in the following paragraph). An independent testing company retained by the Company performs final product testing prior to the shipping of the products by Monterey. As described under '--End Users, Distribution, Sales and Marketing--Distribution Channels,' the Company has entered into a distribution agreement with Gemini that contemplates that the Company will sell 10,000 units of CompuNet 2000 in 1996 (during the period August 15, 1996 through December 31, 1996). In order to enable the Company to meet this schedule, the Company intends to have CompuNet 2000 units initially produced by retrofitting CompuPhone 2000 units that the Company has in inventory. The Company expects to use a contract manufacturer in the United States for such retrofitting process. The Company expects to use General Research of Electronics, Inc. (a Japanese-based contract manufacturer that uses manufacturing facilities in The People's Republic of China) to manufacture the Company's WPS-1000 wireless printing product. This product is currently in the preproduction, prototype stage. See 'Risk Factors-- Considerations Relating to the Business of the Company--Certain Risks Specific to the WPS-1000 Product.' The Company does not currently have long-term agreements with any contract manufacturer that it uses or expects to use as described above. Accordingly, any such contract manufacturer could elect at any time to terminate its relationship with the Company or reduce the manufacturing capacity that it allocates to the Company. The Company estimates that six months or more would be required in order for it to qualify an alternate manufacturer for any product. 35 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company intends to devote significant research and development resources in order to develop enhancements to its existing products, extensions of these products, and new products for its target markets. See '--Strategy,' '--Internet Telephony Product--Product Enhancements and Extensions' and '-- Computer/Telephone Integration Product--Product Enhancements and Extensions.' The Company's research and development team is principally located in Israel and, as of June 30, 1996, was comprised of six hardware and software engineers (including one independent consultant working for the Company) and support staff. The Company expects that it will use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to hire additional research and development personnel and to purchase tools and equipment required in connection with its research and development activities. See 'Use of Proceeds.' COMPETITION The markets for Company's products are characterized by intense competition and rapid change, and the Company expects that competition will increase. The Company's current and prospective competitors include many companies that have substantially greater name recognition and financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not be able to develop products comparable or superior to those offered by the Company. For example, there is a company in the Federal Republic of Germany that is currently marketing outside the United States a product that is substantially the same as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product. There can also be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not be able to offer customers more competitive pricing or to adapt more quickly than the Company to new technologies and evolving customer requirements. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in its target markets or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS The Company relies upon a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyright and trademark law, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights. Certain of the specific steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights are described below. The Company has secured a United States patent covering certain features of the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product and has filed patent applications, which are pending, relating to such features in certain foreign countries. The Company has also filed applications, which are pending, for a United States patent covering certain of the technology underlying the Company's CompuNet 2000 product and for a United States patent covering certain of the technology underlying the Company's WPS-1000 product. However, no assurance can be given that any patents will be issued on the basis of any such applications or, if patents are issued, that the claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect the Company's technology. In addition, no assurance can be given that any patents issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights granted under the patents will provide significant benefits to the Company. In order to safeguard its unpatented proprietary knowhow, trade secrets and technology, the Company relies primarily upon trade secret protection. In that connection, the Company generally enters into non-disclosure agreements with employees and other persons to whom it reveals its proprietary information. The Company has obtained a trademark registration in the United States for the name CompuPhone 2000. In addition, the Company has filed an application, which is pending, for a trademark registration for the name CompuNet 2000. No assurance can be given that any trademark registration will be obtained on the basis of such application. Although the Company has taken the steps described above to protect its proprietary information, there can be no assurance that (i) such steps will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of the Company's technology or (ii) the Company's competitors will not develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's products without infringing upon the Company's proprietary rights. (As described under 'Competition,' there is a company in the Federal Republic of Germany that is currently marketing outside the United States a product that is substantially the same as the Company's CompuPhone 2000 product.) In addition, 36 the laws of certain foreign countries in which the Company's products are, or may be, developed, manufactured or sold, including various countries in Asia, may not protect the Company's products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and thus make the possibility of piracy of the Company's technology and products more likely. The Company believes that its products and their use do not infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future or that any such claims, if asserted, will not be upheld. See 'Risk Factors--Considerations Relating to the Business of the Company--Possibility of Third Party Infringement Claims.' LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings. EMPLOYEES At June 30, 1996, the Company had 15 employees, including five in research and development, five in finance and administration and five in sales and marketing. Approximately 10 of such employees are based in Israel. The Company, from time to time, retains independent consultants with specialized engineering or scientific expertise to work as part of its research and development team. At June 30, 1996, one consultant was working for the Company. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be satisfactory. The Company expects that it will use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to hire additional sales and marketing personnel and research and development personnel. See 'Use of Proceeds,' '--End Users, Distribution, Sales and Marketing,' and '--Research and Development.' The Company's Israeli Subsidiaries are subject to various Israeli labor laws and labor practices, and may be subject to administrative orders extending certain provisions of collective bargaining agreements between the Histadrut (Israel's General Federation of Labor) and the Coordinating Bureau of Economic Organizations (the Israeli federation of employers' organizations) to private sector employees. For example, mandatory cost of living adjustments, which compensate Israeli employees for a portion of the increase in the Israeli consumer price index, are determined on a nationwide basis. Israeli law also requires the payment of severance benefits upon the termination, retirement or death of an employee. The Company covers a portion (but not all) of the potential costs to the Company of paying such severance benefits by contributing on an ongoing basis towards 'managers' insurance' funds with respect to certain of its employees. Such funds combine severance pay benefits, tax-efficient savings plans and disability insurance. In addition, Israeli employers and employees are required to pay specified percentages of wages to the National Insurance Institute, which is similar to the United States Social Security Administration. The payments to the National Insurance Institute are approximately 14% of wages (up to a specified amount), of which the employee contributes approximately 66% and the employer approximately 34%. PROPERTIES The Company leases the following properties: (i) approximately 1,000 square feet of space in Teaneck, New Jersey, which is used primarily for office space; (ii) approximately 1,000 square feet of space in Teaneck, New Jersey, which is used primarily for warehouse space, (iii) approximately 200 square feet of space in Dallas, Texas, which is used primarily for a sales office and (iv) approximately 3,780 square feet of space in Jerusalem, Israel, which is used primarily for office space and for research and development activities. All of the foregoing premises are currently leased on a month-to-month basis, except for the premises in Jerusalem, Israel, which are leased until May 31, 1997. The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its current and immediately foreseeable operations and that additional facilities are available on competitive market terms for such future expansion of the Company's operations as may be warranted. 37 MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND KEY EMPLOYEES The executive officers, directors and key employees of the Company are as follows:

Pursuant to the listing requirements of AMEX, the Company is required to maintain a minimum of two independent directors and to establish an audit committee, a majority of whose members are independent directors.

Mr. Appel provided consulting services to the Company from August 1993 though November 1995.

- ------------------ (1) Solely for purposes of calculating the value of the indicated options at the end of 1995 as required by this table, the Company has assigned to the Common Stock a value of $7.00 per share (representing the midpoint of the range of the initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof). However, the Company has not actually valued the Common Stock as of the end of 1995 and, accordingly, the actual value of the Common Stock as of such time may in fact have been significantly less than $7.00 per share. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS The Company has entered into an employment agreement (the 'Employment Agreement') with Mr. Haber. Certain information regarding the Employment Agreement is set forth below: Term. The scheduled term of the Employment Agreement commences upon completion of the Offering and extends through December 31, 1999. However, the salary and benefits described below will be paid retroactive to July 1, 1996. Base Salary. Base salary is payable at a rate per annum equal to the NIS equivalent of $190,000 (calculated as of the date the Offering is completed). Such base salary is linked to the Israeli cost of living index. Bonus. The Employment Agreement does not provide for a specific bonus, but contemplates that the Company will adopt a bonus plan based upon performance goals to be established. Benefits. The Company is required to (i) pay an amount equal to 15.83% of Mr. Haber's gross salary to obtain for Mr. Haber a 'manager's insurance policy' (which provides certain severance and disability benefits and a savings plan), (ii) pay an amount equal to 7.5% of such gross salary into a savings fund for Mr. Haber's benefit, (iii) provide Mr. Haber with use of an automobile and pay the maintenance and other expenses related thereto and (iv) pay any taxes that Mr. Haber may be liable for as a result of receiving any of the foregoing benefits (other than the car). Upon cessation of Mr. Haber's employment with the Company for any reason (including resignation or firing), Mr. Haber has the right to retain the insurance policy, savings fund and automobile referred to in the preceding sentence (except that if his employment is terminated for Cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement, he has no right to the automobile). Mr. Haber may, at his option, agree to forego one or more of the benefits contemplated by the Employment Agreement. In such event, the Company would be required (subject to certain exceptions) to increase Mr. Haber's salary by the amount of the savings (including tax savings) that the Company realizes as a result of not having to provide such benefit. Termination Compensation. The Company is required to pay Mr. Haber specified compensation in the event that (i) at the end of the term of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Haber desires to extend the term and the Company elects not to do so, (ii) Mr. Haber terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (iii) the Company terminates Mr. Haber's employment for any reason other than Cause or Disability (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement). Such specified compensation consists of (a) a lump-sum payment equal to 150% of Mr. Haber's annual base compensation in effect in the year during which the event giving rise to the obligation to make such payment occurs, (ii) an additional payment in the amount of $25,000 for legal fees to be used 41 as Mr. Haber sees fit and (iii) payment (not in excess of $10,000) for an appropriate office for Mr. Haber and his secretary for a period of six months. Right of Company to Terminate Employment Agreement. Subject to the Company's obligation to pay termination compensation to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company may terminate Mr. Haber's employment at any time (i) for Cause or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (ii) at will if such termination is approved by a two-thirds majority (simple majority after October 1, 1997) of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting called and held for such purpose. Indemnification. The Company is required to indemnify Mr. Haber against various liabilities and expenses that arise in connection with his being made, or threatened to be made, a party in any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or served any other enterprise in any capacity at the request of the Company (subject to certain exceptions). In addition, the Company is required to advance certain expenses as incurred by Mr. Haber pending the final disposition of any such action or proceeding. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND RELATED MATTERS As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that the foregoing does not apply to any such breach that involves (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company, (ii) any act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit or (iv) the payment of dividends or the approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company has not entered into indemnification agreements with any of its directors and officers (except with Mr. Haber as described under '--Employment Contracts'). The Company may in the future enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers containing provisions which may in some respects be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. Such indemnification agreements may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status as directors and officers (other than liabilities arising from wilful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification will be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification. STOCK OPTION PLAN In July 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 'Stock Option Plan') which provides for the granting of options to purchase not more than an aggregate 833,333 shares of Common Stock. Some or all of such options may be 'incentive stock options' within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. All officers, directors and employees of the Company and other persons who perform services on behalf of the Company are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan. No options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan after July 29, 2006. The Stock Option Plan provides that it is to be administered by the Board of Directors (or by a committee appointed by the Board). The Board of Directors (or any such committee) has full power and authority to interpret the provisions, and supervise the administration, of the Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors (or any such committee) determines, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, to whom options shall be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an option, whether an option shall be incentive or non-qualified, the exercise price of each option (which, other than in the case of incentive stock options, may be 42 less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant), the period during which each option may be exercised and the other terms and conditions of each option. OPTIONS TO BE GRANTED PRIOR TO THE OFFERING Immediately prior to completion of the Offering, the Company intends to grant options, pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, to purchase an aggregate of approximately 548,333 shares of Common Stock. Such options will have an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering and will vest in two installments: (one-half in November 1997 and one-half in February 1999). Of such options to be granted, options with respect to 405,001 shares will be granted to current directors of the Company (including directors who are executive officers) and to persons who will become directors upon completion of the Offering as follows: Mr. Haber (options for 133,333 shares), Mr. Eisenberg (options for 66,667 shares), Mr. Kahn (options for 66,667 shares), Mr. Appel (options for 31,667 shares), Ms. Kubin (options for 15,000 shares), Mr. Landowne (options for 15,000 shares), Mr. Perlman (options for 15,000 shares), Mr. Smith (options for 31,667 shares), Mr. Spier (options for 15,000 shares), and an additional person (not identified as yet) who the Company anticipates will become a director upon completion of the Offering (options for 15,000 shares). CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Mr. Eisenberg's father-in-law and a brother-in-law of Mr. Eisenberg purchased $50,000 and $100,000, respectively, of Bridge Notes in the Bridge Financing on the same terms as the other participants in the Bridge Financing. Mr. Eisenberg is a director and executive officer of the Company and beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Certain relatives of Alan P. Haber are employed by the Company. Alan P. Haber is a director and chief executive officer of the Company and beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Philip Haber, a brother of Alan Haber, has served as warehouse manager since January 1995 and, in addition, as accounts receivable manager since June 1996. Philip Haber received compensation of $41,000 in 1995 and has been receiving compensation at the rate of $48,000 per annum in 1996. Deena Haber,a sister-in-law of Alan Haber, has served as assistant controller since December 1994.

Carol Haber, Alan Haber's wife, serves as a graphic artist and is receiving compensation at a rate per annum of approximately $12,000.

The Morris Smith Family Trust is a discretionary trust, the potential beneficiaries of which are Mr. Smith and members of his family. Mr. Smith disclaims any beneficial ownership of any and all shares owned by the Brook Road Nominee Trust. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION Prior to the completion of the Offering, the Company will amend its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) authorize the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, and (ii) convert each outstanding share of common stock, without par value, of the Company into 760.6291 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. All information set forth below gives effect to such amendment. GENERAL The Company is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the 'Preferred Stock'), which Preferred Stock may be issued with such rights, designations and privileges (including redemption and voting rights) as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. COMMON STOCK As of the date of this Prospectus, there were outstanding 2,930,178 shares of Common Stock. These shares were held of record by approximately 54 record holders. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and, subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, if and when issued, to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors, and 45 to share ratably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Holders of the Common Stock do not have subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they have any preemptive rights. In the event the Company were to elect to sell additional shares of its Common Stock following the Offering, investors in the Offering would have no preemptive right to purchase such additional shares. As a result, their percentage equity interest in the Company could be diluted. The shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be, when issued and paid for, fully-paid and not liable for further call or assessment. Holders of the Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that (subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, if any) the holders of a majority of the shares voting for election of directors can elect all of the Company's directors, if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares would not be able to elect any directors. PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, in one or more series and containing such rights, privileges and limitations, including voting rights, conversion privileges and/or redemption rights, as may from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Preferred Stock may be issued in the future in connection with acquisitions, financings or such other matters as the Board of Directors deems to be appropriate. In the event that any such shares of Preferred Stock shall be issued, a Certificate of Designation, setting forth the series of such Preferred Stock and the relative rights, privileges and limitations with respect thereto, is required to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The effect of having such Preferred Stock authorized is that the Company's Board of Directors alone, within the bounds and subject to the federal securities laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, may be able to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock, which may adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. WARRANTS The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the Warrants. For a more complete description of the Warrants, reference is made to the actual text of the Warrant Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the 'Warrant Agent'), a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. See 'Additional Information.' Exercise Price and Terms. Each Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase, at any time during the four year period commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus, one share of Common Stock at a price of $ per share [150% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock], subject to adjustment in accordance with the anti-dilution and other provisions referred to below. The holder of any Warrant may exercise such Warrant by surrendering the certificate representing the Warrant to the Warrant Agent, with the subscription form thereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price. Commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus, the Warrants may be exercised at any time in whole or in part at the applicable exercise price until expiration of the Warrants. No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants. Adjustments. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications of the Common Stock. Additionally, an adjustment would be made in the case of a reclassification or exchange of Common Stock, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in order to enable Warrant holders to acquire the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable in such event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might have been purchased upon the exercise of the Warrant. Redemption Provisions. Commencing 18 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company, in whole but not in part, at $0.01 per Warrant on 30 days' prior written notice to the warrantholders, if the average closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on AMEX equals or 46 exceeds $ per share [250% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock] (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications of the Common Stock) for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the date of the notice of redemption. In the event that the Company exercises the right to redeem the Warrants, such Warrants will be exercisable until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date for redemption fixed in such notice. If any Warrant called for redemption is not exercised by such time, it will cease to be exercisable and the holder will be entitled only to the redemption price. Transfer, Exchange and Exercise. The Warrants are in registered form and may be presented to the Warrant Agent for transfer, exchange or exercise at any time on or prior to their expiration date five years from the date of this Prospectus, at which time the Warrants will become wholly void and of no value. If a market for the Warrants develops, the holder may sell the Warrants instead of exercising them. There can be no assurance, however, that a market for the Warrants will develop or continue. Warrantholder Not a Stockholder. The Warrants do not confer upon holders thereof any voting, dividends, or other rights as stockholders of the Company. Modification of Warrants. The Company and the Warrant Agent may make such modifications to the Warrants as they deem necessary and desirable that do not adversely affect the interests of the warrantholders. The Company may, in its sole discretion, lower the exercise price of the Warrants for a period of not less than 30 days on not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the warrantholders and the Representative. Modification of the number of securities purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant, the exercise price (other than lowering the exercise price as provided in the preceding sentence) and the expiration date with respect to any Warrant requires the consent of two-thirds of the warrantholders. No other modifications may be made to the Warrants, without the consent of two-thirds of the warrantholders. The Warrants are not exercisable unless, at the time of the exercise, the Company has a current prospectus covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and such shares have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities or 'blue sky' laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder of the Warrants. Although the Company has undertaken to use its reasonable best efforts to have all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants registered or qualified on or before the exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the expiration of the Warrants, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. The Warrants are separately transferable immediately upon issuance. Although the Securities will not knowingly be sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which the Securities are not registered or otherwise qualified for sale, investors in such jurisdictions may purchase Warrants in the secondary market or investors may move to jurisdictions in which the shares underlying the Warrants are not so registered or qualified during the period that the Warrants are exercisable. In such event, the Company would be unable to issue shares to those persons desiring to exercise their Warrants, and holders of Warrants would have no choice but to attempt to sell Warrants in a jurisdiction where such sale is permissible or allow them to expire unexercised. BRIDGE WARRANTS As described under 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Bridge Financing,' the Company issued Bridge Warrants in connection with a Bridge Financing completed by the Company during the period April 30, 1996, through July 30, 1996. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants will be determined by dividing (x) $1,262,500 by (y) the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering, and the exercise price per share will equal 10% of such initial public offering price. Assuming an initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof), the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants would be 180,357 and the exercise price per share would be $0.70. 47 REPRESENTATIVE'S WARRANTS In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the Representative for nominal consideration, Representative's Warrants to purchase from the Company up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 300,000 Warrants. For a description of the terms of the Representative's Warrants, see 'Underwriting.' OPTIONS There are currently outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 403,189 shares of Common Stock, 257,322 of which provide for a nominal exercise prices, 133,111 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $1.64 per share, and 12,756 of which provide for an exercise price of approximately $2.74 per share. All outstanding options are currently exercisable or will become exercisable upon completion of the Offering. Prior to the Offering, the Company intends to grant options to purchase an additional 548,333 shares under the Company's Stock Option Plan. Such options will provide for an exercise price per share equal to the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering and will vest in two installments (one-half in November 1997 and one-half in February 1999). The Company has also reserved 285,000 shares of Common Stock for possible future grants of options under the Stock Option Plan. TRANSFER AGENT The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock and the Warrant Agent for the Warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE GENERAL No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of Common Stock, or the availability of Common Stock for future sale, will have on the market price of the Securities prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock (including shares issued upon exercise of warrants or options), or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely effect prevailing market prices for the Securities. Set forth below is certain information concerning certain shares of Common Stock that will potentially be available for sale following the Offering. Shares of Common Stock Sold in the Offering. The 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering will be immediately freely tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by 'affiliates' of the Company, as that term is defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities Act ('Affiliates'), which will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 under the Act. For information concerning Rule 144, see '--Rule 144.' Shares Underlying Warrants sold in the Offering. The Warrants are not exercisable until the first anniversary date of this Prospectus. Thereafter, up to 3,000,000 shares may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants (subject to adjustment as described under 'Description of Securities--Warrants'). Any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Warrants will generally be freely tradeable to the same extent as the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (as described above). Currently Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. There are currently outstanding 2,930,178 shares of Common Stock. Such shares are 'restricted securities' for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be resold in a public distribution except pursuant to Rule 144 or in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Certain holders of such currently outstanding shares have entered into lock-up agreements as described below under '--Lock-up Agreements.' Approximately 2,430,749 of such shares have been held for the two-year holding period prescribed by Rule 144 and will, subject to such lock-up agreements, be eligible for sale in accordance with Rule 144 approximately 90 days after the date of this Prospectus. Substantially all of the balance of such currently outstanding shares will, subject to such lock-up agreements, be eligible for sale in accordance with Rule 144 in the first four months of 1997. 48 Shares Underlying Options. Upon completion of the Offering, there will be outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 951,522 shares of Common Stock. Of such options, 403,189 will be fully vested upon completion of the Offering and the balance will vest in two installments (one-half in November 1997 and one-half in February 1999). Certain holders of such outstanding options have entered into lock-up agreements as described below under '--Lock-up Agreements.' Shortly after the completion of the Offering, the Company plans to file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering (i) the issuance by the Company of up to 1,236,522 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the stock options (representing the 951,522 shares underlying the currently outstanding options plus 285,000 shares reserved for possible future grants of stock options under the Company's Stock Option Plan) and (ii) the resale of such shares by the holders thereof (to the extent that registering such resale is required by the Securities Act). Such Registration Statement will become effective immediately upon filing. Upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, shares of Common Stock covered by such Registration Statement that are acquired upon the exercise of options will, subject to the lock-up agreements described below, either be freely tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act (in the case of shares that are acquired by persons who are not Affiliates of the Company) or eligible for resale in the public market pursuant to such Registration Statement (in the case of shares that are acquired by Affiliates of the Company). Shares Underlying Bridge Warrants. As described under 'Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Bridge Financing,' the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants will be a function of the price that is established as the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock in the Offering. Assuming an initial public offering price per share of Common Stock of $7.00 (the midpoint of the range of such initial public offering price stated on the cover page hereof), there would be an aggregate of 180,357 shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants. Prior to the completion of the Offering, the Company plans to file a Registration Statement registering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants. Subject to the lock-up agreement described in the following sentence, shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Bridge Warrants will be eligible for resale in the public market pursuant to such Registration Statement. Each holder of Bridge Warrants has agreed that, during the three-month period commencing on the date of this Prospectus, such holder will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, sell assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any such warrant or any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise thereof. Shares Underlying Representative's Warrants. The Representative's Warrants are not exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of this Prospectus. Thereafter, up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants (subject to adjustment as described under 'Underwriting') and up to an additional 300,000 shares may be issued (subject to adjustment as described under 'Description of Securities--Warrants') upon exercise of Warrants that may be acquired pursuant to the Representative's Warrants. All such shares may be eligible for resale in the public market pursuant to certain registration rights provided for in the Representative's Warrants. RULE 144 In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned for at least two years shares of Common Stock which are treated as 'restricted securities,' including persons who may be deemed Affiliates of the Company, would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (59,302 shares immediately after completion of the Offering) or the average weekly reported trading volume in the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale is given, provided certain manner of sale and notice requirements and requirements as to the availability of current public information about the Company are satisfied (which requirements as to the availability of current public information are expected to be satisfied commencing 90 days after the date of this Prospectus). In addition, Affiliates of the Company must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144, other than the two-year holding period requirement, in order to sell shares of Common Stock which are not 'restricted securities' (such as shares acquired by Affiliates in the Offering). Under Rule 144(k), a stockholder who is deemed not to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale by him, and who has beneficially owned for at least three years shares of Common Stock which are treated 49 as 'restricted securities,' would be entitled to sell such shares, without regard to the foregoing restrictions and requirements. LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS The Company and certain holders of Common Stock and/or other securities of the Company have entered into lock-up agreements as described below. Company. The Company has agreed that, during the period commencing on the date of this Prospectus and ending on the first anniversary of such date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, directly or indirectly, issue, offer to sell, sell, grant an option for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of (all the foregoing being collectively referred to as 'Transfer') any securities issued by the Company, including common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or evidencing any right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of common stock (the 'Covered Securities'), except that the Company may (i) issue shares upon the exercise of the Bridge Warrants, (ii) grant options pursuant to its 1996 Stock Option plan (described under 'Management--Stock Option Plan'), provided that the optionee is subject to (or upon receipt of the option agrees to be subject to) one of the lock-up arrangements described in the following two paragraphs, and (iii) issue shares upon the exercise of stock options that are currently outstanding, or that this Prospectus contemplates will be granted prior to completion of the Offering or that are hereafter granted in accordance with clause (ii) immediately above. Two-Percent Holders. Each Two-Percent Holder (as hereinafter defined) has agreed that, until the first anniversary of the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined under 'Available Information') is declared effective (the 'Effective Date') under the Securities Act, such holder will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, directly or indirectly, Transfer any Covered Securities, except that (i) a Two-Percent Holder may Transfer Covered Securities in a private placement, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the foregoing agreement; and (ii) from and after the 270th day after the Effective Date, a Two-Percent Holder may Transfer Common Stock of the Company (in one or more transactions), provided that the aggregate shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be Transferred by a Two-Percent Holder pursuant to this clause (ii) may not exceed 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by such Two-Percent Holder immediately preceding the 270th day after the Effective Date. (For purposes of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the ownership or sale of any Covered Securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or evidencing any right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of Common Stock is deemed the ownership or sale, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to such Covered Securities). The Two-Percent Holders that have entered into the foregoing agreement hold in the aggregate 1,782,561 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 751,973 shares of Common Stock (including the options that this Prospectus contemplates will be issued prior to completion of the Offering). As used herein, a 'Two-Percent Holder' means any person or entity that immediately prior to the Offering owns a number of shares of Common Stock (calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to the exercise of all outstanding options and options that this Prospectus contemplates will be granted prior to completion of the Offering) that constitutes 2% or more of the outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Offering (calculated on a pro forma basis as aforesaid). Other Holders of Common Stock or Options. The Company has agreed to cause each holder of Common Stock and/or options who is not a Two-Percent Holder to agree that, until the 270th day following the Effective Date, such holder will not Transfer any Covered Securities, except that any such holder may Transfer Covered Securities in a private placement, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the foregoing agreement. Such holders hold in the aggregate 1,147,617 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 199,549 shares of Common Stock (including the options that this Propectus contemplates will be issued prior to completion of the Offering). Holders of Bridge Warrants. For information concerning certain lock-up agreements applicable to holders of Bridge Warrants, see '--General--Shares Underlying Bridge Warrants.' 50 ISRAELI TAXATION A substantial portion of the Company's business is conducted in the State of Israel through two Israeli subsidiaries: I.T.I. Innovative Technology Ltd. ('Innovative') and CompuPrint Ltd. ('Compuprint'). See 'Conditions in Israel.' Set forth below is a summary of certain Israeli laws and regulations currently in effect that are applicable (or potentially applicable) to such subsidiaries (the 'Israeli Subsidiaries') relating to certain tax matters, government programs and currency controls. Such summary is not intended, and should not be construed as, legal or professional advice and does not purport to cover all considerations relating to the matters discussed. Since such summary is based on legislation and regulation subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, there can be no assurance that the views expressed herein will accord with any such interpretation in the future. The Company cannot at present predict the portion of future income (if any) that will be allocable to the Israeli Subsidiaries as opposed to ITI USA. ISRAELI TAXATION OF INCOME OF THE ISRAELI SUBSIDIARIES Israeli taxation of income of the Israeli Subsidiaries will vary depending on the source of the income. Income not derived from an Approved Enterprise (as defined below) will be subject to different treatment than income derived from an Approved Enterprise. The Company cannot at present predict the portion of future income (if any) of the Israeli Subsidiaries that will be derived from an Approved Enterprise. INCOME NOT FROM AN APPROVED ENTERPRISE Israeli companies are subject to income tax at the rate of 36% on income not derived from an Approved Enterprise. Retained income is not subject to further taxation. Under the Income Tax Law (Adjustment for Inflation), 1985, income for tax purposes is measured in terms of earnings in NIS adjusted for the increase in the Israeli consumer price index. INCOME FROM AN APPROVED ENTERPRISE The Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as amended (the 'Investment Law') provides that an investment program may, upon application to the Israel Investments Center, be designated as an 'Approved Enterprise.' Each certificate of approval for an Approved Enterprise relates to a specific investment program delineated both by its financial scope, including its capital sources, and its physical characteristics (e.g., the equipment to be purchased and utilized pursuant to the program). Innovative's investment program relating to the software component of its keyboard telephone products has been granted Approved Enterprise status under the Investment Law. Innovative's Approved Enterprise is in the so-called 'state guarantees' benefits path. Approved Enterprises in that path are potentially entitled to state-guaranteed commercial loans (as described under '--Approved Enterprise Benefits Other than Tax Benefits') and to certain tax benefits. Such tax benefits are limited to taxable income attributable to the specific Approved Enterprise (which, in Innovative's case, is the software component of Innovative's keyboard telephone products). Such tax benefits are further limited in any year to the portion of such taxable income that is attributable to sales of such software component that are in excess of the amount of such sales in the year immediately preceding the year in which the Approved Enterprise commences operation. (Any reference herein to income derived from Innovative's Approved Enterprise refers only to the portion of such income to which the tax benefits apply as described above.) The tax and other benefits available to an Approved Enterprise are contingent upon the fulfillment of various conditions, including (i) conditions stipulated by the Investment Law and (ii) conditions stipulated by the certificate of approval for the specific investment program relating to the Approved Enterprise (including various conditions relating to capitalization). In the event of Innovative's failure to comply with such conditions, the tax and other benefits could be canceled, in whole or in part, and the Company might be required to refund the amount of the canceled benefits, plus inflation adjustments and interest. The undistributed income derived from Innovative's Approved Enterprise is tax-exempt for a ten year consecutive period, beginning with the first year in which it generates otherwise taxable income provided that 51 (i) 12 years have not elapsed from the year of commencement of production and (ii) 14 years have not elapsed from the year during which the Approved Enterprise status was granted. Distributed income derived from Innovative's Approved Enterprise will be subject to Company income tax at the rates described below. Such income tax is in addition to the withholding tax applicable to dividends as described under '--Israeli Taxation on Dividends Received from the Israeli Subsidiaries by ITI USA.' Company income tax will be imposed on distributed income which is derived from Innovative's Approved Enterprise at the reduced rate of 25% (or lower if Innovative is deemed to be a Foreign Investors' Company, as described below), until the earlier of (i) seven consecutive years (or ten in the case of a Foreign Investors' Company) commencing in the year in which the Approved Enterprise first generates taxable income, (ii) 12 years from the year of commencement of production or (iii) 14 years from the year during which the Approved Enterprise status was granted. The year in which the Approved Enterprise first generates taxable income will be determined by isolating the income and expense from the software component of Innovative's keyboard telephone products from the other income and expenses of the Israeli Subsidiaries. The Company income tax rate on distributed income derived from Innovative's Approved Enterprise will be lower than 25% if Innovative qualifies as a 'Foreign Investors' Company.' Subject to certain conditions, a 'Foreign Investors' Company' is a company which has more than 25% of its combined shareholders' investment in share capital (in terms of rights to profits, voting and the appointment of directors) and in long-term shareholders' loans made by persons who are not residents of Israel. Foreign investment in the Israeli Subsidiaries will be determined by looking to the foreign investment in ITI USA. The Investment Law also provides that an Approved Enterprise is entitled to accelerated depreciation on its property and equipment that are included in an approved investment program. ISRAELI TAXATION ON DIVIDENDS RECEIVED BY ITI USA FROM THE ISRAELI SUBSIDIARIES Dividends paid by the Israeli Subsidiaries to ITI USA will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the rate of 12 1/2%, unless the dividends are attributable to income derived from an Approved Enterprise, in which case the rate of withholding will be 15%. LAW FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF INDUSTRY (TAXES), 1969 Pursuant to the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969 (the 'Industry Law'), a company qualifies as an 'Industrial Company' if it is a resident of Israel and at least 90% of its gross income in any tax year (exclusive of income from defense loans, capital gains, interest and dividends) is derived from an 'Industrial Enterprise' that it owns. An 'Industrial Enterprise' is defined for purposes of the Industry Law as an enterprise the major activity of which, in a given tax year, is industrial production. Both of the Israeli Subsidiaries qualify as Industrial Companies. As Industrial Companies, the Israeli Subsidiaries are entitled to certain tax benefits, including a deduction of 12.5% per annum on the purchase of patents or certain other intangible property rights (other than goodwill) beginning with the year in which such rights were first used and a deduction of 33% per annum on expenses incurred in connection with a public stock issuance. Eligibility for benefits under the Industry Law is not contingent upon the approval of any Government agency. No assurance can be given that the Israeli Subsidiaries will continue to qualify as Industrial Companies, or will be able to take advantage of any benefits under the Industry Law in the future or that Industrial Companies will continue to enjoy such tax benefits in the future. LAW FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, 1984 Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development (the 'Research Law'), research and development programs approved by the Research Committee of the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the State of Israel ('OCS') are eligible for grants in return for the payment of royalties from the sale of the product developed in accordance with the program. Once a project is approved, OCS will award grants of up to 50% of the project's expenditures in return for royalties, usually at the rate of 3% of sales of products developed with such grants, up to a dollar-linked amount equal to 100% or 150% of such 52 grants. There is no further liability for payment. Recipients of funding from the OCS are restricted from transferring any knowhow derived from research and development funded by the OCS without the consent of the OCS. In addition, such recipients must manufacture in Israel any products that are developed as a result of research and development funded by the OCS, unless they receive the consent of the OCS to manufacture elsewhere. In the past, the Israeli Subsidiaries have received funding from the OCS for two research and development projects. One project involved the development of a device that would be located between the keyboard and a personal computer and enable the computer to perform certain telephone functions. The other project involved the development of a wireless printing product that uses radio frequency technology (in contrast to the Company's WPS-1000 product that uses diffuse infrared technology). The Company has not commercialized either of these projects and is currently not actively engaged in these projects. The Company may in the future determine to apply for grants under the Research Law for additional projects. There can be no assurance, however, that any such application will be approved in whole or in part. APPROVED ENTERPRISE BENEFITS OTHER THAN TAX BENEFITS In addition to providing tax-benefits for income derived from Approved Enterprises (some of which benefits are described above under '--Israeli Taxation of Income of the Israeli Subsidiaries'), the Investment Law also provides for various other benefits to Approved Enterprises, where such benefits vary according to the benefits path chosen. As noted above, Innovative has an Approved Enterprise with regard to the software component of its keyboard telephone products and it has chosen the 'state guarantees' path. Approved Enterprises in that path are entitled to commercial loans (at interest rates somewhat higher than market), 70% of which are guaranteed by the State of Israel. Such guarantees may be given for up to 59.5% of the total approved project expenditures (the total project expenditure approved in the case of Innovative was $1,215,000). The entitlement to such guarantees is contingent on the conditions of the certificate of approval and of the law being met. However, in practice, many companies with Approved Enterprises which are entitled to state guarantees have found it difficult to get the loans to which they are in principle entitled. Innovative has encountered such difficulties, though it is still in negotiations with several commercial banks as to the possibility of receiving such state guaranteed loans. No assurance can be given that it will be successful in receiving such state guaranteed loans from any of the commercial banks with which it is in contact. FOREIGN CURRENCY REGULATIONS Israel maintains a series of regulations that are designed, among other things, to limit outflow of foreign currency. However, in general, a foreign resident, such as ITI USA, which has paid foreign currency for the shares it received in an Israeli company, such as each of the Israeli Subsidiaries, is entitled to receive dividends in foreign currency and is further entitled to convert to foreign currency any payments that it receives in NIS upon the sale of its shares in the Israeli company or as a result of the liquidation of such company. CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL A substantial amount of the Company's business is conducted in the State of Israel through the Israeli Subsidiaries. The functions that are primarily conducted in Israel include research and development, international marketing and sales, administration and finance. The net assets of the Israeli Subsidiaries accounted for approximately 27% of the Company's consolidated net assets as of December 31, 1995, and the net capital deficiency of the Israeli Subsidiaries accounted for approximately 71% of the Company's consolidated net capital deficiency as of June 30, 1996. In addition, substantially all of the executive officers of the Company reside in the State of Israel or spend significant amounts of time working there. Consequently, the Company is directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel, and any major hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. Set forth below is certain information concerning certain conditions in Israel. Economic Conditions in Israel. During 1994 and 1995 Israel's gross domestic product increased by 3.4% and 6.5%, respectively, and during the first six months of 1996 Israel's gross domestic product increased by 1.5% 53 (not annualized). During 1995 and the first two quarters of 1996 inflation in Israel and the change in the value of the NIS in relation to the dollar were: 1995 (the inflation rate was 8.10% while the NIS was devalued by 3.88%); first quarter of 1996 (the inflation rate was 2.76%, not annualized, while the NIS appreciated by 0.77%); and second quarter of 1996 (the inflation rate was 4.14%, not annualized, while the NIS was devalued by 2.87%). There can be no assurance that economic growth and relative price and exchange rate stability in Israel will continue. Israel's economy has been subject to numerous destabilizing factors, including a period of rampant inflation in the early to mid-1980s, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts and civil unrest. In response to these problems, the Israeli Government has intervened in various sectors of the economy, employing, among other means, fiscal and monetary policies, import duties, foreign currency restrictions and controls of wages, prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Israeli Government frequently has changed its policies in all these areas. Political Environment. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a state of hostility has existed, varying in degree and intensity, between Israel and the Arab countries. In addition, Israel and companies doing business with Israel have been the subject of an economic boycott by the Arab countries since Israel's establishment. Furthermore, following the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel commenced administering the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and, since December 1987, increased civil unrest has existed in those territories. Although Israel has entered into various agreements with Arab countries and the Palestine Liberation Organization and various declarations have been signed in connection with efforts to resolve some of the aforementioned problems, no prediction can be made as to whether a full resolution of these problems will be achieved or as to the nature of any such resolution. To date, these problems have not had a material adverse impact on the financial condition or operation of the Company, although there can be no assurance that continuation of these problems will not have such an impact in the future. Army Service. All male adult permanent residents of Israel under the age of 50 are, unless exempt, obligated to perform approximately up to 48 days of military reserve duty annually. Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of the employees of the Company (including its Chief Executive Officer) currently are obligated to perform annual reserve duty. While the Company has operated effectively under these requirements in the past, no assessment can be made of the full impact of such requirements on the Company in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances occur. Demographics. Since the beginning of 1990, Israel has been experiencing a new wave of immigration, primarily from the former Soviet Union. Although the increased immigration to Israel from the former Soviet Union may benefit Israel and its economy in the long term by providing highly educated, cost-competitive labor and by stimulating economic growth, it has placed an increased strain on government services and national resources. The Israeli Government has found it necessary to raise additional revenue and to dedicate substantial funds to support programs, including housing, education and job training, designed to assist in the absorption of new immigrants. No prediction can be made as to the policies that will be adopted in the future or their effect on these and other government spending programs. Assistance from the United States. The State of Israel receives approximately $3 billion of annual grants for economic and military assistance from the United States and has received approximately $10 billion of United States Government loan guarantees, subject to reduction in certain circumstances. The United States Government loan program guarantees were granted over a period of five years ($2 billion per annum) commencing in 1993. The Israeli economy could suffer material adverse consequences if such aid or guarantees are reduced significantly. There is no assurance that foreign aid from the United States will continue at or near amounts received in the past. Trade Agreements. Israel is a signatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which provides for reciprocal lowering of trade barriers among its members. In addition, Israel has been granted preferences under the Generalized System of Preferences from the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan. These preferences allow Israel to export the products covered by such programs either duty-free or at reduced tariffs. 54 Israel and the European Economic Community (known now as the 'European Union') signed a Free Trade Agreement, which became effective on July 1, 1975. Pursuant to such agreement and subject to rules of origin, Israel's industrial exports to the European Union are exempt from custom duties and other non-tariff barriers (e.g., import restrictions). In 1985, Israel and the United States entered into an agreement to establish a Free Trade Area ('FTA') which is intended ultimately to eliminate all tariff and certain nontariff barriers on most trade between the two countries. Under the FTA agreement, most products (except with respect to certain agricultural products) received duty-free status as of January 1, 1995. On January 1, 1993, an agreement between Israel and the European Free Trade Association ('EFTA'), which presently includes Austria, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, established a free-trade zone between Israel and the EFTA nations. Under the agreement with the existing EFTA countries, manufactured goods and some agricultural goods and processed foods are exempt from customs duties, while duties on other goods have been reduced. Israel is the only country which has free-trade area agreements with the United States as well as with the European Union and the EFTA states. UNDERWRITING The Underwriters named below (the 'Underwriters') have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and National Securities Corporation, as the Representative of the several Underwriters (the 'Underwriting Agreement'), to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters on a firm commitment basis, the respective number of Shares of Common Stock and Warrants set forth opposite their names:
NUMBER OF SHARES OF NUMBER OF UNDERWRITER COMMON STOCK WARRANTS - ----------------------------------- ------------ --------- National Securities Corporation.... ------------ --------- Total............................ 3,000,000 3,000,000 ------------ --------- ------------ ---------
The Underwriters are committed to purchase all the Shares of Common Stock and Warrants offered hereby, if any of such Securities are purchased. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several Underwriters are subject to conditions precedent specified therein. The Company has been advised by the Representative that the Underwriters propose initially to offer the Securities to the public at the initial public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such prices less concessions of not in excess of $ per share of Common Stock and $ per Warrant. Such dealers may re-allow a concession not in excess of $ per share of Common Stock and $ per Warrant to certain other dealers. After the commencement of the Offering, the public offering prices, concession and reallowance may be changed by the Representative. The Representative has informed the Company that it does not expect sales to discretionary accounts by the Underwriters to exceed five percent of the Securities offered hereby. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make. The Company has also agreed to pay to the Representative an expense allowance on a nonaccountable basis equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds derived from the sale of the Securities underwritten, of which $25,000 has been paid to date. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable within 45 days of the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 450,000 additional Warrants at the public offering price per share of Common Stock and Warrant, respectively, offered hereby, less underwriting discounts and the non-accountable expense allowance. Such option may be exercised only for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, incurred in the sale of the Securities offered hereby. To 55 the extent such option is exercised, in whole or in part, each Underwriter will have a firm commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the number of the additional Securities proportionate to its initial commitment. In connection with the Offering the Company has agreed to sell to the Representative, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase from the Company up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock and\or 300,000 Warrants (the 'Representative's Warrants'). The Representative's Warrants are initially exercisable at a price of $ per share of Common Stock [120% of the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock] and $0.12 per Warrant for a four-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the issuance of such warrants. The Representative's Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated for a period of one year following the date of this Prospectus, except to officers or directors of the Representative, Underwriters or members of the selling group. The Representative's Warrants provide for adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants issuable upon the exercise thereof and in the exercise price of the Representative's Warrants as a result of certain events, including subdivisions and combinations of the Common Stock. The Representative's Warrants grant to the holders thereof certain rights of registration for the securities issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants. The Company and certain holders of its Common Stock and other securities have entered into lock-up agreements. See 'Shares Eligible for Future Sale.' The Company has agreed that, for a period of three years after the date of this Prospectus, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause an individual designated by the Representative to be elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Such person may be a director, officer, employee or affiliate of the Representative. It is anticipated that Nicole R. Kubin will be the individual initially designated by the Representative to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company. See 'Management--Executive Officers, Directors and Key Employees.' In the event that the Representative elects not to designate a person to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company, the Representative shall have the right to designate one person to attend meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company. Such person shall be entitled to attend all such meetings and to receive all notices and other correspondence and communications sent by the Company to members of its Board of Directors. The Company has agreed to reimburse the designee of the Representative for such designee's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such designee's attendance of meetings of the Company's Board of Directors. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock or the Warrants. Consequently, the initial public offering price of the Securities has been determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representative and does not necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's asset value, net worth, and other established criteria of value. The factors considered in such negotiations, in addition to prevailing market conditions, include the history of and prospects for the industry in which the Company competes, an assessment of the Company's management and the prospects of the Company, the Company's capital structure and certain other factors as were deemed relevant. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the Common Stock and the Warrants offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Ehrenreich & Krause, New York, New York, who have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Offering. Certain legal matters in connection with the Offering with respect to Israeli law will be passed upon for the Company by Silber, Schottenfels, Gerber & Lewin, Jerusalem, Israel. Certain legal matters in connection with the Offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Camhy, Karlinsky & Stein LLP, New York, New York, with respect to matters of United States law, and by Herzog, Fox & Neeman, Tel Aviv, Israel with respect to matters of Israeli law. 56 EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, included in this Prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 1 to such financial statements) of Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Integrated Technology USA, Inc. The reorganization described in Note 10 to the financial statements has not been consummated at August 7, 1996. When it has been consummated, we will be in a position to furnish the following report: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statement of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrated Technology USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has experienced a net cash outflow from operations since its formation that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Company is dependent upon capital infusions from existing and from new investors to fund operations. Management's plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-6 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) 1. ORGANIZATION Integrated Technology USA, Inc. (the 'Company') was incorporated in 1990. The Company designs, develops and markets products for two emerging computer-related markets: the transmission of voice communications over the Internet and computer/telephone integration. To date the Company has generated revenues from the sale of its products, CompuPhone 2000(Registered) and a predecessor product (the 'products'), which integrate a computer keyboard and a telephone. The Company currently outsources substantially all of its manufacturing and assembly requirements. The Company has incurred substantial, recurring losses and a net cash outflow from operations since its incorporation. These losses have been funded primarily from the sale of the Company's common stock. The Company is in the process of attempting to raise additional funds through the sale of its common stock, either by means of a public offering or private placements or a combination thereof, and the private placement of its debt. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to support its operations. As a result of the foregoing, there remains substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, I.T.I. Innovative Technology Ltd. ('Innovative') and CompuPrint Ltd. ('Compuprint'), both of which are incorporated and conduct business in Israel. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's Israeli subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars based on exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholder's equity. Transaction gains or losses are included in the determination of income. Approximately 6%, and 10% of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, are comprised of sales in Israel. There were no significant sales in Israel for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and the six months ended June 30, 1996. The net assets of the Company's Israeli subsidiaries accounted for 35%, 27%, 16%, of the consolidated net assets at December 31, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1995, respectively. The net capital deficiency of the Company's Israeli subsidiaries accounted for 71% of the consolidated net capital deficiency at June 30, 1996. Revenue Recognition and Warranties Revenues are recognized on shipment of the products. For products shipped on consignment, revenues are recognized when the products are sold by the consignee. The Company provides for estimated returns on all sales. The Company provides purchasers of CompuPhone 2000(Registered) with certain warranties. The Company covers the potential costs associated with such warranties by obtaining corresponding warranties from the contract manufacturer that manufactures CompuPhone 2000(Registered) for the Company. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all money market accounts and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents are $676,851, $7,619 and $7,988 of time deposits at December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. F-7 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) Fair Values of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued expenses, bank overdraft and short-term loans approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and is principally comprised of CompuPhone 2000(Registered) units. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Depreciation and Amortization Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated, using the straight-line method, over the assets' estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 17 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121-Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of ('SFAS 121')-was adopted in 1995. Assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets are conducted when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The measurement of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover such carrying value from the future undiscounted cash flows of related operations. The policy on impairment prior to the adoption of SFAS 121 was not materially different. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are reported net of contributions by the Government of Israel Chief Scientist which amounted to $34,807, $46,714, $2,477 and $2,477 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. There were no contributions for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability approach for deferred income taxes. This method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded, using currently enacted tax rates, based upon the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial statement purposes. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common share equivalents. Common shares issued, and options and warrants granted, by the Company during the twelve months preceding the proposed IPO (see Note 9) have been included in the calculation of common and common equivalent shares outstanding as if they were outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method and an assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share in the proposed IPO. Options and warrants granted prior to the aforementioned twelve month period have been included in the calculation of common and common equivalent shares outstanding when dilutive. F-8 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) Stock-Based Compensation The Company continues to measure compensation cost using the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25-Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. However, the Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123-Accounting for Stock Based Compensation ('SFAS 123'). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. At December 31, 1994 and 1995 and June 30, 1996, trade receivables from retailers accounted for approximately 25%, 63% and 93% of total trade receivables, respectively. Interim Financial Information The consolidated financial information presented as of June 30, 1996 and for each of the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 is unaudited, but in the opinion of management contains all adjustments (which consist of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such financial information. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years. 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of the following:

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 was $2,235, $24,465, $41,541, $21,504 and $25,239, respectively. F-9 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) 4. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES Accrued expenses and other current liabilities are summarized as follows:

5. PROVISION FOR SEVERANCE PAYMENTS This liability represents a provision for severance payments to dismissed employees and employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances as required by statute in Israel. Such obligations are determined on the basis of the employee's latest monthly salary and years of service. 6. INCOME TAXES There was no provision for income taxes at December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1996. Losses before United States and Israeli income taxes were as follows:
DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ JUNE 30, 1993 1994 1995 1996 -------- ---------- ---------- -------- United States................. 395,757 1,347,761 1,014,362 376,835 Israel........................ 226,095 629,867 691,679 568,835 -------- ---------- ---------- -------- 621,852 1,977,628 1,706,041 945,670 -------- ---------- ---------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- --------
Deferred income tax assets comprise the following:
DECEMBER 31, ------------------------ JUNE 30, 1994 1995 1996 ---------- ---------- ---------- Compensatory stock options.... $ 272,650 $ 259,285 $ 313,408 Net operating loss carryforwards--U.S.......... 739,812 1,140,622 1,265,022 Net operating loss carryforwards--Israel....... 284,000 315,000 480,000 Other......................... 83,490 119,378 94,895 ---------- ---------- ---------- 1,379,952 1,834,285 2,153,325 Valuation allowance........... (1,379,952) (1,834,285) (2,153,325) ---------- ---------- ---------- -- -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,000,000 at June 30, 1996, are due to expire in the years 2006 to 2011. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the utilization of Federal net operating loss carryforwards when an ownership change, as defined by tax law, occurs. Generally, an ownership change, as defined, occurs when a greater than 50 percent change in ownership takes place. The annual utilization of net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to such changes in ownership will be limited, in any one year, to a percentage of fair market value of the Company at the time of the ownership change. Such an ownership change will most likely occur upon completion of the proposed IPO (see Note 9) and may have already resulted from the additional equity financing obtained by the Company since its formation. At June 30, 1996, the net operating loss carryforwards for Innovative and Compuprint in the State of Israel, which do not expire, amounted to $772,000 and $560,000, respectively. F-10 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) Financial Accounting Standard No. 109-'Accounting for Income Taxes'-requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since the Company has incurred significant losses since its formation and future income is uncertain, and due to the possible limitation in the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards described above, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets at December 31, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1996. 7. COMMON STOCK Stock Options The following is a summary of stock option activity:
EXERCISE NUMBER PRICE OF SHARES PER SHARE --------- --------------- Options outstanding at December 31, 1993..... 11,410 $ 0.001 Granted in 1994.............................. 133,111 1.643 Granted in 1994.............................. 12,756 2.744 Granted in 1994.............................. 283,110 0.001 --------- Options outstanding at December 31, 1994..... 440,387 0.001 - 2.744 Exercised in 1995............................ (83,533) --------- Options outstanding at December 31, 1995..... 356,854 0.001 - 2.744 Granted in 1996.............................. 46,335 0.010 --------- Options outstanding at June 30, 1996......... 403,189 0.001 - 2.744 --------- ---------
11,410, 283,404, 329,010 and 375,345 options were exercisable at December 31, 1993, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively. The Company recognized $587,754, $195,673, $80,380 and $135,403 in non-cash compensation expense with respect to the granting of stock options for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. For options granted in 1996, fair value of such options equalled the market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, had the Company adopted the accounting provisions of SFAS 123, no additional non-cash compensation would be required to be recorded by the Company. In determining fair value, the Company assumed zero volatility, no expected growth, no expected dividends and a risk free interest rate of five and one half percent. Such options were immediately exercisable and expire two years after completion of the proposed IPO (see Note 9). 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS For the year ended December 31, 1993, sales to two customers were 26% and 18% of consolidated net sales. For the year ended December 31, 1994, sales to four customers were 12%, 13%, 23% and 16% of consolidated net sales. For the year ended December 31, 1995, sales to one customer was 18% of consolidated net sales. For the six months ended June 30, 1995 sales to two customers were 11% and 9% of consolidated net sales. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 sales to three customers were 11%, 11% and 12% of consolidated net sales. F-11 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) 9. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS Purchase Commitments At December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding purchase orders for the Compuphone 2000(Registered) and a wireless printing product amounting to approximately $1,600,000 for delivery in 1996 and 1997. Leases The Company leases all of its facilities under operating lease agreements. None of the leases contain renewal options. All facilities are leased on a month to month basis except for the Jerusalem, Israel facility which is leased until May 31, 1997 and which lease provides for future minimum rental payments at June 30, 1996 as follows: 1996................ $21,600 1997................ 18,000 ------- $39,600 ------- -------
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 was $24,479, $42,912, $75,713, $38,900 and $43,794, respectively. Proposed Initial Public Offering On March 27, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an underwriter to sell shares, and warrants to acquire shares, of the Company's common stock in a public offering (the 'IPO'). There is no assurance that the IPO will be consummated. In connection therewith, the Company anticipates incurring expenses which, if the IPO is not consummated, will be charged to operations in 1996. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) Bridge Financing During the period from April 30, 1996, through July 30, 1996, the Company completed a bridge financing (the 'Bridge Financing'). The gross proceeds from the Bridge Financing was $1,175,000 and the net proceeds to the Company from such financing (after deduction of commissions and the estimated expenses of such financing) was approximately $1,063,000 ($597,000 of which was received subsequent to June 30, 1996). In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company issued promissory notes (the 'Bridge Notes') in the aggregate principal amount of $1,175,000. The Bridge Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable, together with accrued interest, on the earlier of (i) 10 days after completion of the IPO or (ii) December 15, 1996. In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company also issued certain warrants (the 'Bridge Warrants'). The Bridge Warrants include warrants (the 'Investor Bridge Warrants') issued to each recipient of a Bridge Note to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Note issued to such recipient by (ii) the IPO price. The Bridge Warrants also include warrants (the 'Other Bridge Warrants') issued to certain parties that assisted the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Other Bridge Warrants will be determined by dividing (i) $87,500 by (ii) the IPO price. The Bridge Warrants provide for an exercise price per share equal to 10% of the IPO and contain certain demand and piggyback registration rights. The gross proceeds from the Bridge Financing were allocated to the Bridge Notes and to the Investor Bridge Warrants based on their relative fair values at the dates of such Bridge Financing. In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company recorded (i) loan discount of $458,000, representing the portion of the gross proceeds F-12 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) from the Bridge Financing that was allocated to the Bridge Warrants, and (ii) deferred financing costs of approximately $103,000, representing the portion of the expenses of the Bridge Financing that was allocated to the Bridge Notes. Such loan discount and deferred financing costs are being amortized over the estimated terms of the Bridge Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized approximately $33,000 of non-cash interest expense. Upon repayment of the Bridge Notes from the net proceeds of the IPO, the unamortized portion of the loan discount and deferred financing costs will be recognized as an extraordinary loss. Reorganization In connection with the proposed IPO, the Company will amend its Certificate of Incorporation to, among other matters, change the authorized share capital of the Company from 10,000 shares of common stock, no par value, to 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. The Company will also convert each outstanding share of its common stock, no par value, into 760.6291 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share. All applicable share and per share data have been adjusted for the above reorganization. In July 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 'Stock Option Plan') which provides for the granting of options to purchase not more than an aggregate of 833,333 shares of Common Stock. All officers, directors and employees of the Company and other persons who perform services for the Company are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan. Some or all of the options may be 'incentive stock options' within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company plans to grant options to purchase approximately 548,333 shares under the Stock Option Plan immediately prior to completion of the proposed IPO, including an aggregate of approximately 405,001 options to executive officers and directors of the Company. These options will have an exercise price equal to the IPO price. The Stock Option Plan provides that it is to be administered by the Board of Directors, or by a committee appointed by the Board, which will be responsible for determining, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, to whom options are granted, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an option, whether an option shall be incentive or non-qualified, the exercise price of each option (which, other than in the case of incentive stock options, may be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant), the period during which each option may be exercised and the other terms and conditions of each option. No options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan after July 29, 2006. AGREEMENT TO LICENSE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS Effective July 3, 1996, the Company entered into a 'Bundling and Sales License Fee Agreement' (the 'Agreement') with a software company that provides for the bundling of certain software (the 'software') with one of the Company's products. Pursuant to the Agreement the Company is required to pay such software company a fee with respect to each unit of the software that it bundles. Upon execution of the Agreement, the Company was committed to place an order for software units for which the Company is obligated to pay $30,000 in three equal installments commencing with the shipment of such order. The Agreement expires on January 3, 1998. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT The Company entered into an employment agreement (the 'Employment Agreement') with an officer of the Company, contingent upon the completion of the IPO prior to December 31, 1996. The Employment Agreement is retroactive to July 1, 1996 and the scheduled term of the Employment Agreement extends to December 31, 1999. The Employment Agreement provides for payment of a minimum salary of $190,000 per annum and certain benefits over the term of the Employment Agreement as follows: (i) insurance premiums equal to approximately 16% of the officer's gross salary F-13 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR EACH SIX MONTH PERIOD THEN ENDED) (ii) contributions to a savings plan equal to approximately 8% of the officer's gross salary (iii) the use of an automobile and the payment by the Company of associated maintenance expenses (iv) the payment by the Company of any taxes payable by the officer as a result of receiving any of the foregoing benefits In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the officer is entitled to receive severance payments (under certain circumstances provided in the Agreement) equal to 150% of the officer's minimum annual salary in the year of severance, $25,000 in legal fees, and payment not in excess of $10,000 for office space for a period of six months after termination.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Pursuant to specific authority granted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the 'DGCL'), the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation contains the following provision regarding limitation of liability of directors and officers: The personal liability of the directors of the corporation is hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by Paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, or any corresponding provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Registrant, as a Delaware corporation, is empowered by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject to the procedures and limitation stated therein, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employer or agent of the Registrant. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and the Registrant's By-laws both provide for indemnification of its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. The foregoing description of certain provisions of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws gives effect to certain amendments thereto to be effected prior to completion of the Offering. The Company may seek to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance. Such insurance may insure against any liability asserted against any present or past director or officer incurred in the capacity of director or officer arising out of such status, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person. The Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement contains representations and warranties by the Company as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein and provides for indemnification and contribution by the Underwriters with respect to certain liabilities of directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant.

- ------------------ * To be filed by amendment. ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) Rule 415 Offerings. The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes that it will: (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities II-4 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the 'Calculation of Registration Fee' table in the effective registration statement. (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. (b) Equity offerings of nonreporting small business issuers. The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes to provide to the Representative, at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Representative to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. (c) Request for acceleration of effective date. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Act'), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer 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 small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer 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. (d) Reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities Act. The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes that it will: (1) For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. (2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. II-5 SIGNATURES In accordance with 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 SB-2, and has authorized this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned in New York, New York, on the 6th day of August, 1996.

EX-10.3 2 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of July 1, 1996, between INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY USA, INC. a Delaware corporation ("ITI"), and ALAN P. HABER ("Haber") residing in Jerusalem, Israel. WHEREAS, Haber is presently Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of ITI and has served in such capacities since the inception of ITI; and WHEREAS, ITI desires that Haber continue to be employed in such capacities and Haber desires to be so employed; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to as follows: Employment; Election to Board of Directors 1. (a) ITI hereby employs Haber as President and Chief Executive Officer of ITI and of ITI's subsidiaries, I.T.I. Innovative Technologies Ltd. and Compuprint Ltd. (hereinafter: "the Subsidiaries"), to be so employed at the offices of the Subsidiaries in Jerusalem, Israel and at ITI's offices in New Jersey, and to perform such reasonable executive duties as may be determined and assigned to him from time to time by ITI's Board of Directors. (b) During the period during which Haber is employed by ITI, and subject to applicable federal and state law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of ITI and subject to the laws of the State of Israel and of the Articles of Association of the Subsidiaries, at each annual meeting of the shareholders of ITI or of the Subsidiaries (or at any special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected), ITI will nominate Haber to serve on the Board of Directors and as Chairman of the Board of ITI and as sole director of the Subsidiaries. Duties and Extent of Service 2. (a) Haber shall serve ITI and the Subsidiaries faithfully and to the best of his abilities and shall perform such supervisory management services as are commensurate with the position of President of ITI. During the term of this Agreement, Haber shall devote his efforts to ITI and the Subsidiaries on a full-time basis. (b) Within three months after the signature of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of ITI and Haber will agree on a more detailed description of Hab- 1 er's duties and objectives. After such description is agreed, it will constitute an integral part of this Agreement. Term of Employment 3. The term of Haber's employment under this Agreement shall commence when the Agreement enters into force in accordance with Clause 14 below, and shall extend through December 31, 1999 unless sooner terminated as herein provided. If no new contract is in place by November 1, 1999, then the termination clause comes into effect. (a) Failure of ITI to Extend Term. In the event that upon expiration of the initial term of this Agreement, Haber desires to continue his employment under this Agreement but ITI has notified Haber of its decision not to extend the term, then all accrued portions of Annual Bonuses shall be payable in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement and Haber shall receive the termination compensation as set forth in Section 4(c). (b) Disability. If, as a result of Haber's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Haber shall have been absent from his duties with the Company on a full-time basis for a continuous period of six months and if, within 30 days after written notice of termination is thereafter given by the Company, Haber shall not have returned to the full-time performance of his duties, the Company may terminate Haber's employment for "Disability" without Haber's being entitled to the compensation provided in Section 4; provided that if Haber shall dispute the determination that he is disabled, Haber shall deliver notice to ITI within such 30-day period and such dispute shall be determined by an independent physician licensed to practice medicine selected by the Board of Directors and acceptable to Haber prior to any such termination. Any physical examination of Haber in connection with such determination shall take place in Jerusalem, Israel or at such other location as ITI and Haber may agree. (c) Payment on Termination for Death or Disability. In the event Haber's employment has been terminated in accordance with Sub-Clause (b) above, Haber, his estate, legal representative or designee, as the case may be, shall receive any accrued and unpaid Annual Bonus (including the pro rata portion of any Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs). The amount payable under this clause shall be paid in accordance with Section 4(b)(ii). (d) Cause. The Company may terminate Haber's employment for Cause without Haber being entitled to the compensation provided in Section 4. For purposes of this Agreement, ITI shall have "Cause" to terminate Haber's employment on the basis of (i) Haber's willful and continued failure substantially to perform 2 his duties with ITI as those are defined in Section 2 above (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such failure resulting from Haber's termination for Good Reason (as defined below), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Haber by the Board of Directors which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that Haber has not substantially performed his duties, (ii) Haber's willful engagement in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to ITI, (iii) felony of fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement, or other acts of material dishonesty against ITI. Haber shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Haber a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for such purpose finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, Haber was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3(d) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. (e) Good Reason. Haber may terminate his employment with ITI for Good Reason during the term of this Agreement and become entitled to the compensation provided in Section 4. For purpose of this Agreement. "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following events unless it occurs with Haber's express prior written consent: (i) the assignment to Haber by ITI of any duties inconsistent with, or a diminution of, Haber's position, duties, titles, offices, responsibilities and status with ITI; (ii) any removal of Haber from or any failure to reelect Haber to any of positions, title or offices except in connection with the termination of Haber's employment for Disability or Cause or as a result of Haber's death; (iii) any failure by the Company to continue in effect any benefit plan or arrangement (including the benefits described in clauses 5 and 8 below) in which Haber is then participating (or to substitute and continue other plans providing Haber with substantially similar benefits) (hereinafter referred to as "Benefit Plans") or the taking of any action by ITI which would adversely affect Haber's participation in or materially reduce Haber's benefits under any Benefit Plan or deprive Haber of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Haber; (iv) a relocation of the Subsidiaries' principal offices to anywhere outside of the State of Israel or the relocation of Haber to any location other than such principal offices; 3 (v) an increase in business travel required to fulfill decisions of the board of Directors such that, in any calendar year, Haber is required to remain outside the State of Israel for more than 75 consecutive days or for more than 120 days in the aggregate; (vi) any material breach of any provision of this Agreement by ITI; provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute Good Reason unless and until Haber shall have delivered to the Board of Directors of ITI a notice setting forth in reasonable detail such inconsistency or diminution and within 60 days after receipt of such notice the Board of Directors shall not have alleviated the conditions set forth in such notice. (f) Termination at will. ITI may terminate this Agreement at any time if it delivers to Haber a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a two thirds majority of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for such purpose. After October 1, 1997, ITI may terminate this Agreement at any time if it delivers to Haber a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for such purpose. (g) Notice of Termination. Any termination by ITI pursuant to Sections 3(b), 3(d) or 3(f) shall be communicated to the other party by a Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Haber's employment under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination by ITI shall be effective without such Notice of Termination. (h) Obligations to date of termination. Upon any termination under this Section 3, ITI shall remain obligated to pay Haber: (i) base salary compensation (at the rate then in effect) through the date of termination; (ii) any portion of any accrued and unpaid Annual Bonus (including the pro rata portion of any Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs). 4 Compensation 4. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement, as compensation for his services hereunder, ITI agrees to pay Haber the salary specified below; ITI also agrees to develop a bonus plan as described below: (a) Base Salary. A base salary, payable at such times as may be customary for the payment of compensation to other ITI executive employees, or at such times as Haber and ITI shall agree upon (but no less frequently than monthly), at the rate of $190,000 gross per annum for calendar year 1996. The said dollar amount shall be converted to New Israeli Shekels at the Representative Rate published by the Bank of Israel on the date of the completion of the initial public offering of the shares of ITI and the resulting New Israeli Shekel amount shall be linked to the Cost of Living Index published by the Central Office for Statistics from that date until the date when each salary payment is being made (where such linkage is based on the index known at the date of the completion of the initial public offering of the shares of ITI and on the index known as of the date of each such salary payment). Such linkage shall be on account of and deductible from any cost of living index increment which ITI may be obligated to pay to the Employee. (b) Bonus. ITI agrees to develop a bonus plan based on performance goals acceptable to it. Shortly after the completion of the initial public offering of the shares of ITI, the expanded Board of Directors of ITI will adopt - within 30 days after submission by Haber of proposed performance goals to the Board and after consultation and agreement with Haber - a bonus plan which will define the scope of the annual bonus and the performance goals which must be met in order for Haber to be entitled to all or part of the bonus. (c) Termination Compensation. In the event that Haber's employment under this Agreement is not renewed for any reason set forth in clause (a) of Section 3 or is terminated for any reason other than Disability or Cause, Haber shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to 150% of the base compensation in effect during the year that ITI elects not to renew or that this Agreement is terminated, or to receive such greater amount as may be determined no later than November 30, 1996 by the expanded Board of Directors of ITI - after consultation and agreement with Haber. In addition, ITI will pay for an appropriate office for Haber and his secretary, at a cost not to exceed $10,000, for a period of six months as well as $25,000 for legal fees to be used by Haber as he sees fit. No termination compensation shall be payable by ITI if Haber voluntarily terminates his employment under this Agreement. Haber's right under this Clause is in addition to his right to receive the "Pitzue Piturin" portion of his Bituach Menahelim policy in accordance with clause 5 below. However, Haber 5 will not be entitled to receive the amounts owing to him under this clause and the "Pitzue Piturin" portion of his Bituach Menahelim policy unless he signs a declaration to ITI and the Subsidiaries in the following form: "I hereby declare that after receiving the transfer of the ownership of the Bituach Menahelim Policy maintained by you with regard to me, I shall have no further claims of any kind against you for any sum to which I might be entitled as Pitzue Piturin as a result of the cessation of my employment." Benefits 5. (a) ITI will open a Bituach Menahelim Policy which it will own but which will be in the name of Haber which will be funded - except where indicated otherwise - by the Company and which will contain the following elements: i) 8 1/3 % of Haber's gross salary, as savings on account of Pitzue Piturin for Haber; ii) 10% of Haber's gross salary, in a savings plan (Kupat Gemel). Half of the 10% (5%) will be deducted from Haber's gross salary. iii) 2.5% of Haber's gross salary in a disability insurance plan of which Haber will be the beneficiary. Upon the cessation of Haber's employment with ITI or with the Subsidiaries, for whatever cause, whether as a result of firing or as a result of Haber's resignation, ITI will transfer to Haber the ownership of the policy provided that as against such transfer Haber sign the declaration mentioned in clause 4(c) above. (b) ITI will maintain a Keren Hishtalmut for Haber which it will fund at the rate of 7.5% of Haber's gross salary; as against each payment to the Keren by ITI, ITI will deduct 2.5% from Haber's gross salary and transfer it to the Keren. (c) ITI shall provide Haber with the use of an automobile (one of the type _____ or similar vehicle, the maintenance and expenses of which shall be borne by ITI and which automobile shall be assigned to Haber as additional compensation at the termination of Haber's employment for any reason other than Cause. (d) Should any of the above benefits, except for that mentioned in sub-clause (c), entail a tax obligation for Haber, ITI will bear and pay such tax such that the benefit will be net to Haber. Should Haber so request with regard to any of the above benefits (except the savings for Pitzue Piturin mentioned in clause 6 5(a)(i) above), ITI will pay him as additional salary the cost to it (including taxes in accordance with this sub-clause) of providing the benefit. (e) Haber shall be furnished with office facilities and services suitable to his position and reasonably necessary and appropriate for the performance of his duties hereunder. Options 6. Habershall have an option to acquire a number of ordinary shares in ITI in accordance with the provisions of ITI's stock option plan as approved by the Board of Directors. Expenses 7. ITI shall promptly reimburse Haber for all specified items of travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder upon presentation of vouchers therefore in accordance with normal procedures and standards established by ITI for such purposes. Vacation 8. Habershall be entitled to paid vacation of four (4) weeks in each calendar year. Time spent by Haber in fulfillment of his reserve obligations in the Israel Defense Forces shall not be included as vacation. Indemnification 9. ITI shall indemnify Haber if he is made or threatened to be made a party in any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that Haber is or was a director of officer of ITI, or served any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise in any capacity at the request of ITI, against all judgments, fines (including excise tax assessed on such a person in connection with service to an employee benefit plan), amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including without limitation, court costs, and consultants incurred as a result of such action or proceeding or any appeal therein, and ITI shall advance all of such expenses as incurred pending the final disposition of such action or proceeding. Such required indemnification shall be subject only to the exception that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of Haber in the event and to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonestly and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he 7 was not legally entitled (provided that indemnification shall be made upon any successful appeal of any such adverse judgment or final adjudication). For purposes of this clause 10, ITI shall be deemed to have requested Haber to provide service to an employee benefit plan where the performance by Haber of his duties to ITI also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, Haber to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any and other rights to which Haber may be entitled apart from this provision. During the term of this Agreement or any extension thereof, ITI agrees that its Certificate of Incorporation and/or By-Laws (as required by law) shall contain the provisions required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("GCL") (a) to provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL and (b) to provide for the limitation of liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL. During the term of this Agreement or any extension thereof, ITI agrees that the Articles of Association of the Subsidiaries shall contain the provisions required by the Companies Ordinance [New Version] of the State of Israel (a) to provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law (b) to provide for the limitation of liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. During the term of this Agreement and any extension thereof, ITI agrees to maintain in full force and effect Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, to the extent available, providing customary coverage. No Obligation to Mitigate Damages; No Effect on Other Contractual Rights 10. (a) Haber shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Haber as the result of employment by another employer after the termination of Haber's employment, or otherwise. (b) The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish Haber's existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any benefit plan, including any stock option plan, employment agreement or other contract, plan or arrangement of ITI or the Subsidiaries. Successor to the Company 11. (a) ITI will require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business and/or assets of ITI, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory 8 to Haber, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that ITI would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.
