Company will receive the proceeds from the exercise of such warrants. During the
Special Exercise Period,  the Company will receive $3.00 for each Warrant 
exercised, for which it will issue two shares of Common  Stock.  The exercise  
price of the Series B Warrants is $2.00 per share.  The Company  cannot predict 
the extent to which Warrants will be exercised during the Special Exercise 
Period.  Regardless of whether  any  Warrants  are  exercised,  the Company  
will incur  expenses of approximately $150,000.

        The  Company is subject to  certain  informational  requirements  of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act"),  and in
accordance therewith will file reports and other information with the Securities

containing audited financial  statements and with such other periodic reports as
the Company may from time to time deem appropriate or as may be required by law.
The Company uses the calendar year as its fiscal year.

                                          PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        The following  discussion  summarizes certain  information  contained in
this  Prospectus.  It does not purport to be complete  and is  qualified  in its
entirety by reference to more detailed  information  and  financial  statements,
including the notes thereto,  appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.  All share
and per share  information  in this  Prospectus  has been  restated to reflect a
2,000-for-one  Common  Stock  recapitalization   effective  in  August  1993,  a
 .576-for-one  reverse  split  effective  in  October  1993 and a  three-for-four
reverse split effective February 1996.

        Prospective   investors  are  cautioned  that  the  statements  in  this
Prospectus that are not  descriptions of historical facts may be forward looking
statements  that are subject to risks and  uncertainties.  Actual  results could
differ  materially from those currently  anticipated due to a number of factors,
including those identified under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus
or in documents  incorporated  by reference in this  Prospectus.  In  exercising
Warrants,  either  during  or after the  Special  Exercise  Period,  prospective
investors  should  assume that no Warrants  will be  exercised  other than those
previously exercised and those being exercised by the investor.

                                              THE COMPANY

        Netsmart  Technologies,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  develops,  markets  and
supports  computer software designed to provide a range of services in a network
computing environment. A network computing environment is a computer system that
provides  multiple  users with  access to a common  database  and  functions.  A
network system can be a local system,  such as a local area network,  known as a
LAN, which operates within an office or facility,  or a distributed system which
provides  simultaneous  access to a common  data base to many users at  multiple
locations.

        There are typically three parties in the Company's network system -- the
sponsor, which is the party that maintains the data base, such as a managed care
organization or financial  institution,  the users,  who are the individuals who
use the system, and may be the subscribers of a managed care organization or the
bank card or  credit  card  holders  of a  financial  network,  and the  service
providers,  who are those who provide  goods or  services to the users,  such as
physicians, pharmacies, banks and merchants who provide goods, services or funds
to bank card or credit card holders.

        The Company's  principal  services are its health  information  systems,
which are marketed principally to specialized care facilities, many of which are
operated by government entities and include entitlement programs, principally in
the  behavioral  health  field.  Users  typically  purchase  one of  the  health
information  systems,  in the form of a perpetual  license to use the system, as
well as contract  services,  maintenance  and third party  hardware and software
which the Company offers pursuant to arrangements with the hardware and software
vendors. The contract services include project management,  training, consulting
and  software  development  services,  which are  provided  either on a time and
materials basis or pursuant to a fixed-price contract.  The software development
services may require the Company to adapt one of its health information  systems
to meet the specific requirements of the customer.

        The Company has developed proprietary network technology utilizing smart
cards which it is seeking to market as part of its health  information  systems.
It is also seeking to market products utilizing its smart card technology in the
financial  field.  A smart  card is a plastic  card about the size of a standard
credit card which contains a single embedded  microprocessor chip with both data
storage and computing  capabilities.  The smart card software provides access to
the information stored in the chip, the ability to update stored

                                               - 2 -

information and includes security elements to restrict unauthorized access to or
modification  of certain  information  stored on the card utilizing a smart card
reader  system.  The smart card  reader  system and the  software  provides  the
ability to  include  information  on both the smart card and the  organization's
computer  system.  The  Company  also  offers  network  applications  which  use
telecommunications rather than smart cards to obtain access to and manage data.

        The Company's principal source of revenue is its health information 
systems and related services which are marketed by its subsidiary, Creative 
Socio-Medics Corp. ("CSM").  CSM was acquired in June 1994 by a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of SIS Capital Corp. ("SISC") from Creative Socio-Medics Corp. 
("Old CSM"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanced Computer Techniques,
Inc. ("ACT"), a nonaffiliated party.  SISC transferred such subsidiary to the 
Company in September 1995.

        For the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended  December 31,
1996,  approximately 95% and 76% of revenue was derived from health  information
systems and services.  Substantially all of the Company revenue through December
31, 1995 was derived  from health  information  systems and  services.  The only
significant revenue derived from the Company's smart card products, known as its
CarteSmart System, represented revenue from one customer, IBN, Inc. ("IBN"), and
the contract with IBN is substantially  complete. The agreement with IBN relates
to a  CarteSmart  license  and  the  implementation  by IBN of a  system,  which
includes such software, for financial institutions in the former Soviet Union.

                                             RISK FACTORS

        The purchase of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants
involves a high degree of risk and should be  considered  only by investors  who
can afford to sustain the loss of their entire  investment.  In  analyzing  this
Offering, prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors,
among others.

        1. Working capital  deficiency;  need for significant  additional funds.
The Company had a working  capital  deficit of $1.1 million at June 30, 1997, as
compared to working  capital of $477,000 at December 31, 1996.  The $1.6 million
decrease  in  working  capital  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  was
substantially due to the $1.2 million net loss for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as well as the Company's  investment in capitalized  software.  The Company
also invested approximately $148,000 in its joint venture for the development of
credit  card  acceptance  software  known  as its  "CCAC  Software,"  which  was
purchased during 1996. The Company's cash balances were $22,000 at June 30, 1997
as compared to $998,000 at December 31, 1996. The Company has continued to incur
losses, as a result of which its working capital  deficiency has increased since
June 30,  1997.  As a result of its low cash  position  and its working  capital
deficiency,  the Company requires immediate and significant additional funds for
its  operations.  Furthermore,  at June 30, 1997,  IBN  accounted for 15% of the
Company's gross accounts  receivable  balance. A significant  percentage of such
accounts  receivable  from IBN at such date had been  outstanding  for more than
nine months.  Although the Company  received a modest  payment on account during
the  third  quarter  of 1997,  as of the date of this  Prospectus,  the  account
receivable from IBN continues to represent a significant portion of its accounts
receivable.

        The  Company  cannot  predict  the  extent  to  which  Warrants  will be
exercised.  If the  Company  does  not  receive  significant  proceeds  from the
exercise  of  Warrants,  it will  require  funding  from other  sources,  and no
assurance can be given as to the availability or terms of any such financing. If
sufficient  funds are not available to the Company,  it may be necessary for the
Company  to reduce or  curtail  operations.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

        2. History of losses.  The Company has had significant  losses since its
organization  and losses are  continuing.  The Company  commenced  operations in
September 1992. The Company sustained losses of $1.2 million, or $.18 per share,
for the six months ended June 30, 1997,  $6.6 million,  or $1.28 per share,  for
the year ended December 31, 1996, $2.9 million,  or $.59 per share, for the year
ended  December 31, 1995,  $1.8 million,  or $.36 per share,  for the year ended
December 31, 1994, and $400,000,  or $.09 per share, for the year ended December
31,  1993.  From its  organization  in September  1992 until June 30, 1997,  the
Company  sustained a cumulative loss of $13.1 million.  Commencing July 1, 1994,
the Company's financial statements include the operations of CSM.

        The  Company's  health  information  systems and related  services  have
represented the Company's principal source of revenue through June 30, 1997. For
the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 and the year  ended  December  31,  1996,
approximately  95% and 76% of the  Company's  revenue  was  derived  from health
information  systems and  services.  Substantially  all of the  Company  revenue
through  December  31, 1995 was  derived  from  health  information  systems and
services.  The only  significant  revenue derived from the Company's  CarteSmart
System  represented  revenue from one customer,  IBN, and the contract with such
customer is  substantially  complete.  As of June 30, 1997,  the Company did not
have any backlog for its CarteSmart  System,  and no assurance can be given that
the Company will have any other significant customers for such services. Revenue
from IBN was approximately $95,000, or 2.9% of revenue, for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and $1.9 million, or 22.0% of revenue, for the year ended December
31,  1996.  The  agreement  with IBN  relates to a  CarteSmart  license  and the
implementation by IBN of a system,  which includes such software,  for financial
institutions  in the  former  Soviet  Union.  Except for the  revenue  from IBN,
substantially  all of the  Company's  revenue has been  derived  from its health
information systems and related services. In order to generate any revenues from
its CarteSmart  System,  the Company must be successful in licensing its system.
Any CarteSmart revenue which is generated is expected to consist  principally of
license fees, which are based on the number of cards issued,  and consulting and
maintenance  revenues relating to the CarteSmart Systems being installed.  Thus,
in order for the Company to generate  significant  revenues from its  CarteSmart
System,  it must develop a substantial  base of smart card users. The failure of
the  Company to generate  revenues at a level in excess of its ongoing  expenses
may force the Company to reduce or cease operations. The Company is also subject
to the risks  normally  associated  with a new  business  enterprise,  including
unforeseeable expenses, delays and complications. No assurance can be given that
the Company can or will ever operate profitably.

        3.  Substantial  capital  requirements of the Company.  Since January 1,
1996,  the  Company's  principal  source  of funds has been its  initial  public
offering  in August 1996 and the  exercise  of  warrants,  which  generated  net
proceeds of approximately $5.4 million,  of which approximately $2.1 million was
used  to pay  loans,  including  approximately  $750,000  to pay  the  Company's
indebtedness due to SISC,  $96,000 to redeem preferred stock and $250,000 to pay
a fee to an  affiliate  of a director.  The  Company has an accounts  receivable
financing  with an  asset-based  lender.  Borrowings  under this  facility  were
$703,000 at June 30, 1997 and  $895,000 at  September  1, 1997.  The Company can
borrow up to 80% of  eligible  receivables,  and it pays  interest at the annual
rate of prime plus 8 1/2% and a fee equal to .625% of the amount of the invoice.
Pursuant to the agreement,  the minimum monthly interest payment is $10,000. The
credit limit under this facility was $750,000  prior to August 1, 1997, at which
time the credit limit was increased to $1.25 million. The borrowings at June 30,
1997 and  September 1, 1997 were $703,000 and  $895,000,  respectively.  At such
dates the maximum  availability  under the credit line,  based on the  borrowing
formula, was $750,000 and $895,000, respectively.

Unless the Company is able to generate more eligible receivables, it will not be
able to increase its borrowings.  The Company's  obligations under this facility
are  guaranteed  by Mr.  Lewis S.  Schiller,  chairman  of the  board  and chief
executive officer of the Company.  In addition,  Mr. Anthony F. Grisanti,  chief
financial officer of the Company, has issued his limited guaranty to the lender.

        Pursuant to employment  agreements  with four  officers,  the Company is
paying 1997 base salaries of $459,000. In addition, the Company has an agreement
to pay Trinity,  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Consolidated,  consulting fees of
$180,000  per annum.  The Company  has an oral  agreement  with SMI  Corporation
("SMI"),  of which Mr.  Storm R.  Morgan,  a director  of the  Company,  is sole
stockholder and an officer and director,  pursuant to which the Company pays SMI
$9,000 per month, on a month-to-month basis, for which SMI provides the services
of Mr.  Morgan on an as-needed  basis.  Mr. Morgan is not required to devote any
minimum  amount of time to the business of the  Company.  See  "Management"  and
"Certain  Transactions."  The aggregate annual payments under such agreements at
the present rates of  compensation  are $747,000.  In addition,  the Company has
agreements with other key employees pursuant to which it pays annual salaries of
approximately $352,000.

        In connection with the services  rendered for IBN, the Company engaged a
software consulting firm to provide certain services. The Company owes such firm
approximately   $250,000,   and  has  agreed  to  pay  such  amount  in  monthly
installments in increasing amounts over a ten-month period commencing June 1997.
The Company has agreed to pay $100,000  from the  proceeds  from the exercise of
the Warrants on account of its obligations to such firm.

        To the extent that the Company  does not generate  sufficient  cash flow
from operations to pay its contractual  obligations,  proceeds from the exercise
of the Warrants may be used for such purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

        The  Company  cannot  predict  the  extent  to  which  Warrants  will be
exercised.  If all of the Warrants  are  exercised  during the Special  Exercise
Period,  the Company will receive net proceeds of  approximately $2.5 million.  
The Company believes that such proceeds will provide it with sufficient cash to
meet its current operating  requirements through June 1998. However, if 
significantly less than all of the Warrants are  exercised,  the Company  
anticipates  that it will require  significant  additional funds prior to such 
time, and no assurance can be given as to the availability or terms of any 
required funding.

        4. Limited use of CarteSmart software; need to customize software. As of
June 30, 1997, except for the IBN contract, which generated revenue through June
30, 1997 of $2.4 million and is substantially  complete, a pilot program with an
initial  version of the  CarteSmart  System in Europe in 1993 and a recent pilot
project in San Diego County, California, the CarteSmart System has not been used
by customers for any significant  period of time. A pilot program is designed to
prove the technology without any commitment by the contracting party to the full
implementation  of the program.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no backlog
for its CarteSmart  System,  and no assurance can be given that the Company will
be successful  in its efforts to market such system.  The failure of the Company
to have an established user base for the CarteSmart  System may adversely affect
its  ability to market the  CarteSmart  System.  The  ability of the  Company to
operate its CarteSmart  business  profitably  over an extended period of time is
dependent  upon a number of  factors  not within  the  control  of the  Company,
including the  performance  of the cards and card readers and the hardware used,
all  of  which  are  purchased  by  the  users  of the  CarteSmart  System  from
independent  sources.  Since the Company does not sell smart cards or smart card
readers as part of its products and services,  the Company must rely upon others
to provide hardware which meets the Company's  specifications.  No assurance can
be given that the Company's  software will function during actual  operations in
the  manner  contemplated  by the  Company  or that it will  operate  free  from
maintenance or other performance problems for sustained periods of time.

        Although  the   Company's   CarteSmart   System   software  has  general
application, its limited experience reflects a need to customize the software to
meet the specific needs of the client.  Although the  customization  need not be
significant,  each user has its  unique  requirements  that  must be met.  These
requirements  may include the need to enable the CarteSmart  System to interface
with the client's  existing  systems to the  development  of a range of software
products  to meet needs  which are not  presently  being  served.  Although  the
Company believes that its CarteSmart software can be readily adapted to meet the
needs of its clients, no assurance can be given as to the ability of the Company
to meet specific client  requirements.  Furthermore,  the costs of customization
may be  significant,  and, to the extent the Company has fixed price  contracts,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate profits from
its CarteSmart agreements.

        5. Effect of technological  advances;  possible  obsolescence.  Users of
software  systems  such  as the  Company's  CarteSmart  System  and  its  health
information  systems require  software which enables the storage,  retrieval and
processing  of  very  large   quantities   of  data  and  demand   instantaneous
communications  among the various data bases.  Thus,  the Company's  business is
designed  to take  advantage  of  recent  advances  in  software,  computer  and
communications technology. Such technology has been developing at rapid rates in
recent years and the future of the Company may be dependent  upon its ability to
have  access to and to  develop  or obtain  rights to  products  utilizing  such
technology. It is possible that new technology may develop in a manner which may
make the  Company's  software  obsolete.  The  failure of the  Company to obtain
access  to such  technology  could  have a  material  adverse  effect  upon  the
Company's future development.

        6.  Litigation  and  potential  claim.  In March  1997,  an  action  was
commenced  against  the  Company  and  certain of its  officers,  directors  and
stockholders by Onecard Health Services  Corporation in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, County of New York. The named defendants include, in addition
to the  Company,  Messrs.  Lewis S.  Schiller,  chief  executive  officer  and a
director of the  Company;  Leonard M.  Luttinger,  vice  president -- smart card
operations and a director of the Company; Thomas L. Evans, who was formerly vice
president  of the Company,  Consolidated  and certain of its  subsidiaries,  and
other  stockholders  of the Company and other  individuals  who were or may have
been  officers  or  directors  of Onecard but who have no  affiliation  with the
Company or  Consolidated.  Mr. Luttinger and Mr. Evans were employees of Onecard
prior to the  formation  of the  Company.  Mr.  Schiller  was not an employee or
director of, consultant to, or otherwise affiliated with, Onecard. The complaint
makes broad  claims  respecting  alleged  misappropriation  of  Onecard's  trade
secrets,  corporate  assets and  corporate  opportunities,  breach of  fiduciary
relationship,  unfair  competition,  fraud,  breach of trust  and other  similar
allegations,  apparently  arising  at the time of, or in  connection  with,  the
organization of the Company in September  1992. The complaint  seeks  injunctive
relief and damages,  including  punitive damages,  of $130 million.  The Company
believes that the action is without  merit,  and it will  vigorously  defend the
action.  The Company's  view that the complaint is without merit is based on the
difference  in the  technology  used in the Onecard  software and the  Company's
CarteSmart  software  and the type of  computer  network  on which the  software
operates.  The  Company  has  filed an  answer  denying  all of the  plaintiffs'
allegations and has asserted affirmative defenses. The Company has demanded that
the  plaintiff  particularize  the broad  allegations  of the  complaint and the
produce documents referred to in the complaint.  No assurance can be given as to
the  ultimate  disposition  of the action,  and an adverse  decision  may have a
material adverse effect upon the business of the Company.

               In June 1994, SISC, through a subsidiary,  acquired the assets of
Old CSM. A portion of the purchase  price  consisted  of shares of  Consolidated
common stock,  which were issued to Old CSM, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of ACT.
The Company has been advised by ACT that  certain of its  security  holders have
expressed  concern  about the current  market price of the  Consolidated  common
stock  which was issued to Old CSM as part of the  purchase  price for Old CSM's
assets as a result of a  substantial  decline in the price of such common  stock
since the assets of Old CSM were acquired by Holdings in June 1994. No formal or
informal claim has been made against  Consolidated,  SISC or the Company and the
Company  does not  believe  that it has any  liability  arising  out of any such
concern or related claim.  However,  no assurance can be given that the Company,
SISC,  Consolidated  or their  officers  and  directors  will not be  subject to
liability or that such liability will not be material.

        7.  Dependence upon contracts with  government  agencies.  The Company's
health  information  systems  are  marketed   principally  to  specialized  care
facilities,  many of which are  operated  by  government  entities  and  include
entitlement  programs.  During the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately 32%, 31%, and 54%, respectively,
of the Company's revenues was generated from contracts with government agencies.
The  Company's  largest  customer for the year ended  December 31, 1996 was IBN,
which generated revenue of approximately  $1.9 million,  or 22% of revenue.  The
Company's  largest customer for 1995 was the State of Colorado,  which accounted
for approximately $1.4 million, or 18.5% of revenue.  CSM's largest customer for
1994 was Cuyahoga  County,  Ohio,  which  accounted for 5.5% of its revenue.  No
other customers  accounted for 10% or more of the Company's or CSM's revenues in
any of such  periods.  Contracts  with  government  agencies  generally  include
provisions  which  permit the  contracting  agency to cancel the contract at its
convenience.

        8.  Competition.  The Company  markets health  information  software and
services  and licenses  software in the health and human  services  market.  Its
customers   in  such  market   include   entitlement   programs,   managed  care
organizations,  specialty  care  facilities and other major computer users which
have a need for access over a distributed data network. The Company has recently
commenced  marketing and developing software products for the financial services
and education markets.  The software industry in general is highly  competitive.
In addition, with technological  developments in the communications industry, it
is possible that  communications as well as computer and software  companies may
offer similar or comparable  services to those offered by the Company.  Although
the Company  believes  that it can provide its clients  with  software to enable
them to perform their  services more  effectively,  other  companies,  including
major  computer and  communications  companies,  have the staff and resources to
develop competitive systems, and users, such as insurance and financial services
companies,  have the ability to develop software systems in-house. In the health
care field  various  companies  offer and promote smart card programs by which a
person can have his or her medical  records  stored,  and  software  vendors and
insurance  companies  have  developed  software to enable a  physician  or other
medical care provider to have direct access to the insurer's  computer and other
software  designed  to enable a  physician  to maintain  patient  health  and/or
medication  records.  The  Company  believes  the health  insurance  industry is
developing switching software to be used in transmitting claims from health care
providers to the insurers,  and it may also develop the software to process such
claims,  which would compete with certain  functions of the  CarteSmart  System.
Major systems and consulting  vendors,  such as Unisys  Corporation  ("Unisys"),
AT&T Corp. and Andersen  Worldwide,  have provided smart card based solutions to
their clients and they offer other  software  systems in the industries to which
the Company is  marketing  its  products and  services.  Furthermore,  the joint
venture  among  Visa,  MasterCard  and  certain  major  banks  relating  to  the
development  of a smart card based  system and the entry of American  Express in
the smart card  business  may have an  adverse  effect  upon the  ability of the
Company to market smart card products to the  financial  services  industry.  No
assurance  can be given that the  Company  will be able to compete  successfully
with such competitors.

        The  health  information  systems  business,  in which the  Company  has
derived  substantially  all of its revenue through  December 31, 1995, is highly
competitive,  and is serviced by a number of major companies and a larger number
of smaller companies, many of

                                               - 8 -
57046

<PAGE>



which are better capitalized, better known and have better marketing staffs than
the  Company,  and no  assurance  can be given that the Company  will be able to
compete  effectively  with such companies.  Major vendors of health  information
systems include Shared Medical Systems Corp. and HBO Corp., although the Company
believes that such companies market their products to segments of the heath care
field  other  than  the  behavioral  field.  The  Company  believes  that  price
competition  is a  significant  factor  in its  ability  to  market  its  health
information systems and services.  In marketing its products and services to the
financial services industry, the Company competes with numerous software vendors
as well as major  banks,  credit  card  issuers  and  other  financial  services
companies which have the resources to develop  competing  products.  Competition
for the education market includes not only major software  developers but credit
card issuers and telecommunications companies that can market their products not
only  to  the   institutions   but  to  the  students  as  well.  See  "Business
- --Competition."

        9. Dependence on management. The Company's business is largely dependent
upon its senior executive officers, Messrs. James L. Conway, president,  Leonard
M. Luttinger,  vice president, and John F. Phillips, vice president -- marketing
of the Company and president of CSM. The Company has employment  agreements with
Messrs.  Conway,  Luttinger,  Phillips and Anthony F. Grisanti.  Mr. Grisanti is
chief financial officer of the Company, respectively. The loss of service of key
management personnel or other key employees would have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's business and prospects. Furthermore, the market for qualified
personnel is highly competitive, the Company will compete with some of the major
computer,  communications  and software  companies as well as major corporations
hiring in-house staff in seeking to hire such employees, and no assurance can be
given as to the  ability of the  Company to employ  such  persons.  The  Company
anticipates  that it will continue to be largely  dependent upon the services of
its senior executive officers.  Pursuant to the underwriting  agreement relating
to the Company's initial public offering, the Company has agreed to use its best
efforts to obtain key man life  insurance  in the  amount of  $1,000,000  on the
lives of each of Messrs.  Conway and Luttinger;  however, such insurance has not
yet been obtained.

        10. Lack of patent protection.  The Company has no patent protection for
its proprietary software,  including the CarteSmart System. Although the Company
has signed  non-disclosure  agreements  with its employees and others to whom it
discloses  proprietary  information,   no  assurance  can  be  given  that  such
protection  will  be  sufficient.  The  unauthorized  use or  disclosure  of the
Company's  proprietary  software and other  proprietary  information  may have a
materially adverse effect upon its business. Furthermore, although the Company's
software was developed  independent  of any work  performed by its employees for
former employers,  an action has been commenced against the Company,  certain of
its officers and others.  The complaint  makes broad claims  respecting  alleged
misappropriation  of Onecard's  trade  secrets,  corporate  assets and corporate
opportunities,  breach of fiduciary  relationship,  unfair  competition,  fraud,
breach of trust and other similar  allegations,  apparently  arising at the time
of, or in connection  with, the  organization  of the Company in September 1992.
The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages,  including  punitive damages,
of $130 million.  The Company  believes that the action is without merit, and it
will vigorously defend the action. In addition,  the Company believes that there
is a difference in the technology used in the Onecard software and the Company's
CarteSmart  software  and in the type of computer  network on which the software
operates.  An adverse  decision in the Onecard  litigation could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's  business and financial  condition.  See "Risk
Factors 6. -- Litigation and Potential Claim."

        11.  Effect  of  government   regulations   of  health  care   industry.
Substantially  all of the  Company's  revenue has been  derived  from its health
information systems,  including the CarteSmart interface.  The Federal and state
governments  have  adopted  numerous  regulations  relating  to the health  care
industry,  including  regulations  relating  to  the  payments  to  health  care
providers  for various  services.  The  adoption of new  regulations  can have a
significant  effect upon the  operations of health care  providers and insurance
companies,  and the effect of future  regulations  by  governments  and  payment
practices by government agencies or health insurers cannot be predicted.  To the
extent that the health care  industry  evolves  with more  government  sponsored
programs and fewer privately run  organizations,  the Company's  business may be
adversely affected.  Furthermore,  to the extent that each state changes its own
regulations  in the health care field,  it may be  necessary  for the Company to
modify its health  information  systems  which are in  operation to meet any new
record-keeping or other requirements  imposed by changes in regulations,  and no
assurance  can be  given  that the  Company  will be able to  generate  revenues
sufficient  to cover the costs of  developing  the  modifications.  In addition,
reductions in funding for entitlement  programs may adversely  affect the market
for the Company's health information systems and services.

        12. Conflicts of interest;  proceeds to benefit affiliates. Mr. Lewis S.
Schiller,  chairman of the board and a director of the Company,  is the chairman
of the board of a number of other corporations, including Consolidated and other
companies  owned or  controlled  by  Consolidated.  As a result of holding  such
positions,  Mr.  Schiller  may be in a  position  to  determine  the  terms  and
conditions of transactions between the Company and Consolidated,  SISC and their
affiliates.  In addition,  Mr. Norman J. Hoskin, a director of the Company, is a
director of  Consolidated  and Trans Global.  As of August 31, 1997,  SISC,  the
largest stockholder of the Company, owned approximately 45.9% of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Company and Mr.  Schiller  owned  approximately  1.4% of the
Common  Stock.  As a  result,  SISC  may have the  ability  to elect  all of the
directors of the Company.  In addition,  Mr. Schiller is chief executive officer
of the  Company,  SISC and  Consolidated.  Mr.  Schiller  devotes only a limited
amount of his time to the business of the Company. Mr. Schiller does not have an
employment  agreement  with the Company;  however,  the Company has an agreement
with Trinity, a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Consolidated,  pursuant to which the
Company  pays  Trinity  fees of  $15,000  per  month for the  three-year  period
commencing September 1996. See "Certain Transactions."


                                               - 9 -

<PAGE>



        As of June  30,  1997  and  September  1,  1997,  the  Company  owed its
asset-based  lender  approximately  $703,000  and  $895,000  under  an  accounts
receivable financing  arrangement.  The Company's obligations to the asset-based
lender are guaranteed by Mr. Lewis S. Schiller,  chief executive  officer of the
Company.  In addition,  Mr. Anthony F. Grisanti,  chief financial officer of the
Company,  has issued his limited guaranty to the lender.  The limited  guaranty,
which was required by the lender as a condition  to making the loan,  applies in
the event that the lender incurs losses as a result of an account receivable not
being a bona fide receivable or the Company failing  promptly to pay over to the
asset-based  lender the  proceeds  from  receivables  which are  received by the
Company.  The Company does not believe that any of its  receivables are not bona
fide.

        The Company has an oral agreement with SMI pursuant to which the Company
paid SMI  approximately  $620,000  during 1996 and currently pays SMI $9,000 per
month,  for which SMI provides the services of Mr. Morgan on an as-needed basis.
During 1996, SMI also provided the services of up to six other  individuals  who
performed  management-level  or other key services to the Company on a full-time
basis.

        Pursuant to employment,  consulting and other  agreements  with officers
and other related parties, the total annualized defined payments to such persons
are  $747,000.  To the extent that the Company does not generate  cash flow from
operations  sufficient  to enable it to make such  payments  from cash  flow,  a
portion of the proceeds of this  Offering  allocated  to working  capital may be
used for such purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

        The Series D Preferred  Stock,  which is owned by SISC, is redeemable at
the  option of the  Company  for $1,000  per share  commencing  October 1, 1998,
except that, prior to October 1, 1998, the Company may redeem shares of Series D
Preferred Stock from 50% of the net proceeds from the sale by the Company of its
equity securities,  including the issuance of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise  of the  Warrants.  However,  the  Company  has agreed not to apply any
proceeds  from the exercise of Warrants  during the Special  Exercise  Period to
redeem the Series D Preferred Stock.

        Mr.  Schiller's  employment  agreement with  Consolidated  also provides
that, in the event of a merger or other sale by the Company of its business,  he
is entitled to receive 20% of the gross profit,  as defined,  from any sale. Ms.
Grazyna B. Wnuk,  secretary  and a director of  Consolidated,  has an employment
agreement  with  Consolidated  which  provided  that,  in the  event  of  such a
transaction,  she is entitled to 1% of such gross profit. To the extent that any
such payments are made by the Company,  the amount  payable to the  stockholders
will be  reduced.  As of the  date  of  this  Prospectus,  the  Company  has not
conducted any formal or informal negotiations or discussions with respect to any
such transaction. See "Certain Transactions."

        13. Continued control by SISC and management.  At August 31, 1997, 47.4%
of the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock were owned by SISC  (45.9%) and Mr.
Lewis S. Schiller (1.5%), chief executive officer of the Company and of SISC and
50.0% of such shares were owned by the  Company's  officers  and  directors  and
their affiliates,  including SISC. Mr. Schiller,  as the chief executive officer
of Consolidated and SISC, has the right to vote the shares owned by SISC. If the
shares owned by DLB, which is controlled by Mr.  Schiller's  wife, are included,
the  percentage  would be 53.5%.  If the  1,793,750  shares of Common  Stock are
issued upon exercise of the  outstanding  Warrants,  SISC and Mr. Schiller would
own 37.5% of the Common  Stock,  all officers and directors as a group would own
39.3%,  and all  officers and  directors  and DLB would own 42.3 %. In addition,
SISC holds Series B Warrants to purchase  15,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00
per share and 550,000  shares of Common Stock at $4.00 per share,  and the other
officers and directors of the Company also hold Series B Warrants.  Accordingly,
SISC and Mr. Schiller, who is the chief executive officer of SISC, will continue
to be able to elect all of the  directors  and will thus be able to  continue to
control the Company. See "Certain Transactions" and "Principal Stockholders."

        14.  Broad  discretion  as to use  of  proceeds;  potential  unspecified
acquisitions  and  change  in  use of  proceeds.  Substantially  all of the  net
proceeds  from the  issuance of Common  Stock upon  exercise of the Warrants are
allocated  to  working  capital  and  other  corporate  purposes.   Accordingly,
management  will have broad  discretion  with respect to the expenditure of such
net  proceeds.  Purchasers  of the Common  Stock  issued  upon  exercise  of the
Warrants will be entrusting their funds to the Company's management,  upon whose
judgment the investors  must depend,  with only limited  information  concerning
management's  specific  intentions.  The Company may enter into joint  ventures,
acquisitions or other  arrangements,  such as joint marketing  arrangements  and
licensing  agreements,  which the Company  believes  would further the Company's
growth and  development.  No assurance can be given as that any such  agreements
will result in  additional  revenue or net income for the  Company.  See "Use of
Proceeds" and "Business -- Potential Business Agreements."

        Notwithstanding  its plan to develop its  business as  described in this
Prospectus,  future  events,  including  the problems,  expenses,  difficulties,
complications  and  delays  frequently  encountered  by  businesses,  as well as
changes in the economic climate or changes in government  regulations,  may make
the reallocation of funds necessary or desirable.  Any such reallocation will be
at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Accordingly, in the event that the
Company  determines  that it is  unable  to  develop a  profitable  business  as
described  in this  Prospectus,  the  Company  may  engage in  other,  unrelated
businesses  and use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock upon
exercise of the  Warrants  for such  purpose.  However,  the Company has no such
intention at this time. No assurance can be given that any such  businesses  can
or will be profitably operated.

        15. Arbitrary offering price and terms. The terms of the Warrants during
the Special  Exercise Period have been  determined by  negotiations  between the
Company and the  Underwriter,  and do not  necessarily  bear any relation to the
results of the  Company's  operations  or its  financial  condition or any other
indicia of value.

        16.  Possible  restrictions  on  market-making  activities  in Company's
securities. The Underwriter has advised the Company that it makes and intends to
continue to make a market in the  Company's  securities.  Regulation M under the
Exchange Act, may prohibit the  Underwriter  from engaging in any  market-making
activities with regard to the Company's  securities for the period of up to nine
business  days (or such other  applicable  period as  Regulation  M may provide)
prior to any  solicitation  by the Underwriter of the exercise of Warrants until
the later of the termination of such  solicitation,  activity or the termination
(by waiver or otherwise) of any right that the Underwriter may have to receive a
fee for the exercise of Warrants following such solicitation.

        As a result,  the  Underwriter may be unable to provide a market for the
Company's  securities during certain periods while the Warrants are exercisable.
In addition,  under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in the distribution of the Selling Security  Holders'  securities
may not  simultaneously  engage in market-making  activities with respect to any
securities of the Company for the applicable  "cooling off" period (at least two
and possibly nine business days) prior to the commencement of such distribution.
Any temporary  cessation of such market-making  activities could have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Company's securities.

        The Underwriter  holds  Underwriter's  Options to purchase 56,250 Units,
each Unit  consisting  of two  shares of Common  Stock and one  Warrant  and has
purchased or may purchase  500,000  shares of Common Stock and 250,000  Warrants
from four stockholders.  If the Underwriter exercise the Underwriter's Option or
distributes any of such  securities,  the ability of the Underwriter to act as a
market maker may be affected. See "Selling Security Holders."

        17.  Possible  delisting from The Nasdaq System and market  illiquidity.
The Common  Stock and  Warrants are  presently  included in The Nasdaq  SmallCap
Market.  The  continued  listing of the Common  Stock and Warrants on The Nasdaq
SmallCap  Market is  subject  to the  Company  meeting  the  Nasdaq  maintenance
requirements, pursuant to which the Company must, among other conditions, either
maintain net tangible assets (i.e.,  total assets less liabilities and goodwill)
of $2  million,  or a market  capitalization  of $35  million  or net  income of
$500,000 for two of the last three  years.  The Company will also be required to
meet  certain  corporate  governance  requirements.  If the Company is unable to
satisfy  Nasdaq's  requirements  for  continued  listing,  the Common  Stock and
Warrants  may be  delisted  from The  Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market.  In such  event,
trading,  if any,  in such  securities  would  thereafter  be  conducted  in the
over-the-counter   market  in  the  so-called  "pink  sheets"  or  the  Nasdaq's
"Electronic  Bulletin  Board."  Consequently,  the  liquidity  of the  Company's
securities  could be impaired,  not only in the number of securities which could
be bought  and sold,  but also  through  delays in the  timing of  transactions,
reduction in security  analysts'  and the news media's  coverage of the Company,
and lower prices for the Company's securities than might otherwise be attained.

        A  significant  number of the shares of Common Stock and  Warrants  were
sold to customers of the  Underwriter in the Company's  initial public  offering
and  customers  of the  Underwriter  may own a  significant  number of shares of
Common Stock and Warrants.  Such customers may engage in the sale or purchase of
the securities through or with the Underwriter. Although they have no obligation
to do so,  the  Underwriter  presently  makes a market in the  Common  Stock and
Warrants.  The Underwriter may be a dominating  influence in the trading of such
securities.  The prices and the liquidity of the securities may be significantly
affected by the degree,  if any, of the participation of the Underwriter in such
market.

        There is not an active market for the  Warrants.  During the period from
January 1 to September 5, 1997,  there has been little,  if any reported trading
in the Warrants, and no assurance can be given that any active trading market in
the  Warrants  will  develop.   See  "Market  for  Common  Stock  and  Warrants;
Dividends."

        18.  Risks  of  low-priced  stocks;  penny  stock  regulations.  If  the
Company's  securities  were delisted from The Nasdaq  SmallCap Market (See "Risk
Factors -- 17.  Possible  delisting  of  securities  from The Nasdaq  System and
market  illiquidity")  they may become  subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange
Act, which imposes  additional  sales practice  requirements  on  broker-dealers
which sell such  securities  to persons  other than  established  customers  and
institutional  accredited  investors.  For transactions  covered by this rule, a
broker-dealer  must make a special  suitability  determination for the purchaser
and have received the purchaser's  written  consent to the transaction  prior to
sale.  Consequently,  the rule may affect the ability of  broker-dealers to sell
the Company's Common Stock and Warrants and may affect the ability of purchasers
in this Offering to sell any of the Common Stock or Warrants  acquired  pursuant
to this Prospectus in the secondary market.

        The  Commission's  regulations  define a "penny  stock" to be any equity
security that has a market price (as therein  defined) less than $5.00 per share
or with an  exercise  price of less than  $5.00 per  share,  subject  to certain
exceptions.  The penny stock restrictions will not apply to the Company's Common
Stock,  Units and Warrants if the Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq  SmallCap
Market and has certain  price and volume  information  provided on a current and
continuing  basis or meet certain minimum net tangible assets or average revenue
criteria.  There can be no assurance that the Company's  securities will qualify
for exemption from these restrictions.

<PAGE>



If the  Company's  Common  Stock or Warrants  were subject to the rules on penny
stocks,  the market liquidity for the Common Stock or Warrants could be severely
adversely affected.

        19. Potential adverse effect of redemption of Warrants. The Warrants may
be redeemed, with the consent of the Underwriter,  at a redemption price of $.05
per Warrant  upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days'  notice if the closing
price of the Common Stock is at least $9.00,  subject to adjustment,  during the
20  consecutive  trading days ending within ten days of the date of the Warrants
are called for redemption. Redemption of the Warrants could force the holders to
exercise the Warrants and pay the exercise  price therefor at a time when it may
be  disadvantageous  for the holder to do so, to sell the  Warrants  at the then
current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the Warrants,  or to
accept the  redemption  price,  which,  at the time the  Warrants are called for
redemption,  is likely to be  substantially  less than the  market  value of the
Warrants.  The Company will not call the Warrants for redemption except pursuant
to a currently effective prospectus and registration statement. See "Description
of Securities -- Series A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants."

        20. No Common Stock dividends anticipated. The Company presently intends
to retain  future  earnings,  if any,  in order to provide  funds for use in the
operation and expansion of its business and,  accordingly,  does not  anticipate
paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable  future.  Dividends
on the 1,210  shares of Series D Preferred  Stock are payable at the annual rate
of $72,600 in equal  semi-annual  installments  on April 1 and October 1 of each
year commencing  October 1, 1996.  Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock may
be paid either in cash or in shares of Common Stock.  The  dividends  payable on
October  1, 1996 and April 1, 1997 were  paid  through  the  issuance  of 12,802
shares of Common Stock. See "Description of Securities."

        21. Dilution.  A purchaser of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants
during the Special  Exercise  Period will  experience  immediate and substantial
dilution of $1.42 , or 95%, from the $1.50 per share  exercise  price of the 
Common  Stock issued  upon  such  exercise,  based  upon the  exercise  of all 
of the  896,875 outstanding  Warrants.  If  less  than  all  of  the  
outstanding  Warrants  are exercised, the dilution would be greater. See 
"Dilution."

        22. Shares  eligible for future sale.  All of the  presently  issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock were either registered pursuant to Securities
Act  or  issued  as  "restricted  securities"  pursuant  to  an  exemption  from
registration  and may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the  Commission  under the
Securities Act. In connection with the Company's  initial public  offering,  the
holders of substantially all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock which had
been issued prior to such offering,  have agreed not to sell any of their shares
(other than shares acquired in the public market) until August 13, 1998, without
the consent of the Underwriter.  SISC and the Company's officers,  directors and
key employees have agreed that, if the Company receives at least $1,000,000 from
the exercise of the Warrants, they will not sell any of their shares (other than
shares acquired in the public market) until August 13, 1999, without the consent
of the Underwriter,  except that,  commencing August 13, 1998, certain officers,
directors and key employees may sell 639,300 shares of Common Stock.

        23. Shares issuable  pursuant to warrants,  options and Preferred Stock;
registration  rights.  The Company may issue stock grants or options to purchase
up to an aggregate 511,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to its 1993 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, of which 487,256 shares are subject to outstanding  options. The
Company has issued Series B Warrants to purchase  877,500 shares of Common Stock
at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and 1,895,625  shares of Common Stock at
an  exercise  price of $4.00 per  share.  During  the term of such  options  and
warrants,  the holders  will have the  opportunity  to profit from a rise in the
market price of the Common Stock,  and their  exercise may dilute the book value
per share of the Common  Stock.  The  Company  has  provided  certain  piggyback
registration  rights to the  holders of options to  purchase  151,920  shares of
Common Stock granted by SISC in connection with the acquisition of CSM. However,
the  holders of such stock and  Series B  Warrants  have  agreed not to sell the
Common Stock  issuable upon such  conversion  or exercise  until August 13, 1998
without the prior approval of the Underwriter.  The holders of Series B Warrants
have demand and  piggyback  registration  rights  commencing  August 13, 1998 or
earlier with the consent of the  Underwriter.  The Company will bear the cost of
preparing  such  registration  statements but will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of shares of Common Stock  pursuant  thereto  other than payment of the
exercise price with respect to the warrants issued by the Company. The existence
of these  registration  rights,  as well as the sale of shares  of Common  Stock
pursuant  to  registration  statements  which the  Company  may be  required  to
prepare,  may have a  depressive  effect on the price of the Common Stock in the
open market.  In addition,  the  existence of such  warrants and options and the
registration  rights  referred to above may adversely  affect the terms on which
the Company can obtain additional equity financing.  The holders of warrants are
likely to exercise  them at a time when the Company  would  otherwise be able to
obtain capital on terms more favorable than those provided by the warrants.

        24. Potential  adverse impact of Preferred Stock on rights of holders of
Common Stock. The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance
of so-called  "blank check"  preferred stock with the board of directors  having
the right to determine the designations,  rights,  preferences and privileges of
the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock. Accordingly,  the board of
directors is empowered,  without stockholder  approval, to issue Preferred Stock
with  voting,  dividend,  conversion,  liquidation  or other  rights which could
adversely  affect the voting power and equity  interest of the holders of Common
Stock.  The Preferred  Stock,  which could be issued with the right to more than
one vote per share,  could be utilized as a method of discouraging,  delaying or
preventing a change of control of the Company.  The possible  impact on takeover
attempts could adversely affect the price of the Company Stock.

57046

<PAGE>



Although the Company has no present  intention to issue any additional shares of
Preferred  Stock or to create any  additional  series of  Preferred  Stock,  the
Company  may issue such  shares in the  future.  Furthermore,  the  issuance  of
Preferred  Stock in a manner which  dilutes the voting  rights of the holders of
Common Stock may adversely  affect the listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market.

        25. Forward-looking statements. Prospective investors are cautioned that
the statements in this Prospectus that are not  descriptions of historical facts
may be forward looking  statements that are subject to risks and  uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a
number of factors, including those identified under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere
in this Prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.


                                               DILUTION

        The net tangible  book value of the  Company's  Common Stock at June 30,
1997 was  approximately  $(.15) per share.  All share and per share  information
included in this Prospectus has been restated to reflect a 2,000-for-one  Common
Stock  recapitalization  effective  August 1993, a  .576-for-one  reverse  split
effective  in October  1993 and a  three-for-four  reverse  split  effective  in
February  1996.  Net tangible book value  represents the amount of the Company's
tangible  assets reduced by the amount of its  liabilities  and the  liquidation
preference  of the Series D  Preferred  Stock.  Without  taking  into effect any
change in net tangible  book value of the Company after June 30, 1997 other than
as a result of the sale of the 1,793,750 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
the 896,875  outstanding  Warrants  during the Special  Exercise  Period,  after
deducting fees and other estimated  expenses of the Offering,  the Company's net
tangible  book value as of June 30,  1997 would  have been  approximately  $ per
share. This amount  represents an immediate  increase in net tangible book value
per  share of  approximately  $ to the  present  stockholders  and an  immediate
dilution (the  difference  between the offering  price of the shares and the net
tangible book value per share after the Offering) per share of  approximately  $
to the purchasers of the Common Stock.

        The  following  table  illustrates  the  dilution of one share of Common
Stock as of June 30, 1997:

                            MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS; DIVIDENDS

        The  Company's  Common Stock and Warrants have been traded on The Nasdaq
SmallCap  Market since the Company's  initial public offering on August 13, 1996
under the  symbols  "NTST"  and  "NTSTW,"  respectively.  The high and low sales
prices for the  Company's  Common Stock and Warrants  since August 14, 1996,  as
reported by Nasdaq, are as follows:


                                        Common Stock               Warrants

1       There has been no regular market for the Warrants.  During the third 
quarter of 1997, through September 8, trading on the warrants was only reported 
on five days.

        The reported closing  prices for the Common  Stock on September 12, 1997
was $4.125 and $1.375, respectively.  The  closing  price for the  Warrants  on 
September  5,  1997 was  $.75.  These quotations reflect  inter-dealer  prices, 
without retail mark-up,  mark-down or commission and may not represent actual 
transactions.

        As of June 30, 1997, the Company believes that there were  approximately
347 record holders of the Common Stock.

        The Company has paid no dividends  on its Common Stock since  inception,
and does  not  expect  to pay any  dividends  for the  foreseeable  future.  See
"Description  of  Securities  -- Series D Preferred  Stock" in  connection  with
dividends payable with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock.


                                            USE OF PROCEEDS

        The  Company  intends  to utilize  any net  proceeds  received  from the
exercise of the Warrants for working capital and other corporate purposes. Since
there is no assurance  that any  Warrants  will be  exercised,  the net proceeds
could range from zero to approximately $2.5 million.

        In  connection  with the  services  rendered for IBN, the Company owes a
software consulting firm approximately  $250,000,  which it has agreed to pay in
monthly  installments in increasing  amounts over a ten-month period  commencing
June 1997.  The Company has agreed to pay $100,000  from the  proceeds  from the
exercise of the Warrants on account of its obligations to such firm.

        None of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants are allocated
to pay obligations to any officers, directors or principal stockholders or their
affiliates.  The Company has employment  agreements with four executive officers
of the Company  pursuant to which it is paying base salaries  during 1997 at the
aggregate  annual rate of $459,000.  In  addition,  the Company has an agreement
with Trinity pursuant to which the Company pays Trinity $180,000 per year and an
oral agreement with SMI pursuant to which it pays SMI compensation of $9,000 per
month for the  services,  on an  as-needed  basis,  of Mr.  Storm R.  Morgan,  a
director of the Company. The aggregate annual payments under such agreements and
arrangements at the present rates of compensation are $747,000. The Company also
has  employment  agreements  with four other key employees  pursuant to which it
pays annual  compensation  at the annual rate of  $352,000.  The total  payments
under such  agreements  are at the  current  annual rate of  approximately  $1.1
million.

        In the event that the Company  does not  generate  sufficient  cash flow
from operations to pay its contractual obligations,  a portion the proceeds from
the  exercise of the Warrants  may be used to make such  payments.  See "Certain
Transactions."

        Management will have broad  discretion to determine the use the proceeds
of this Offering.  In the event that the Company determines that it is unable to
develop a profitable  business as described in this Prospectus,  the Company may
use the proceeds  from this  Offering to engage in other  unrelated  businesses,
although it has no such intention at this time.

        The  Company  believes  that,  if all of the  outstanding  Warrants  are
exercised during the Special  Exercise Period,  the Company will have sufficient
funds to satisfy the Company's  presently  estimated cash  requirements  for the
twelve  months  beginning  September  1,  1997.  However,  it is  possible  that
conditions  may arise as a result of which the Company  may  require  additional
capital  prior to the  expiration  of such  one-year  period  even if all of the
outstanding Warrants are exercised. Furthermore, unless a significant portion of
the Warrants  are  exercised  during the Special  Exercise  Period,  the Company
anticipates  that it will  require  additional  funds  in the  near  future.  No
assurance  can be given that the Company  will be able to obtain any or adequate
funds when  required  or that any funds  available  to it will be on  reasonable
terms.  The failure to obtain  necessary  funds could result in the reduction or
cessation of operations by the Company.

        The Company may use a portion of the  proceeds  from the exercise of the
Warrants in connection with joint ventures,  acquisitions or other arrangements,
such as joint marketing  arrangements and licensing agreement,  which management
deems necessary or desirable in connection with the development of the Company's
business and related activities.  Although the Company has, in the past, engaged
in negotiations with respect to such a transaction,  it has not entered into any
letters  of  intent or  agreements  with  respect  to any such  arrangements  or
transactions. See "Business -- Potential Business Agreements."

                                            CAPITALIZATION

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                            RESULTS OF OPERATION

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

        The Company's  revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (the "June
1997  period") was $3.3  million,  a decrease of $1.6  million,  or 33% from the
revenue for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 (the "June 1996  period")  which
was $4.9 million.  Approximately $1.5 million of this decrease was the result of
a decline in revenue  from IBN,  which was $1.6  million in the June 1996 period
and  $95,000  in the June  1997  period.  IBN  represented  the  Company's  most
significant customer in the June 1996 period, accounting for approximately 32.3%
of revenue for the period.  As of June 30, 1997, the contract was  substantially
complete.  The Company is no longer providing  professional services to IBN. The
Company  intends  to expand its  marketing  effort  for its  CarteSmart  System,
however,  at June 30, 1997, the Company did not have any  significant  contracts
for the CarteSmart System. The remainder of the decrease in revenue for the June
1997 period was  attributable  to a modest decline in revenue from the Company's
health information systems divisions.

        Revenue  from the  Company's  health  information  systems  continued to
represent  the  Company's  principal  source of  revenue  in June  1997  period,
accounting for $3.1 million, or 95% of revenue. The largest component of revenue
in the June 1997 period was data center (service bureau) revenue which decreased
approximately  2% to $1.0 million in the June 1997. The turnkey  systems revenue
decreased  to $812,000  in the June 1997  period from  $829,000 in the June 1996
period,  reflecting a decrease of 1%. Maintenance  revenue increased to $666,000
in the June 1997 period from  $573,000 in the June 1996  period,  reflecting  an
increase of 16%.  License revenue  decreased to $145,000 in the June 1997 period
from  $240,000 in the June 1996 period,  a decrease of 40%.  License  revenue is
generated  as part of a sale of a  turnkey  system  pursuant  to a  contract  or
purchase order that includes  development  of a turnkey system and  maintenance.
Third party hardware and software revenue decreased to $489,000 in the June 1997
period from  $663,000  in the June 1996  period,  reflecting  a decrease of 26%.
Sales of third party hardware and software are made only in connection  with the
sales  of  turnkey  systems.  Although  the  decrease  in  revenue  from  health
information  systems reflected reduced new business during the June period,  the
Company  has  experienced  an increase  in new order  backlog  during the second
quarter. However, no assurance can be given that the increase in new orders will
generate any increase in revenue.

        Revenue from  contracts  from  government  agencies  represented  32% of
revenue  for  June  1997  period.  The  Company  believes  that  contracts  with
government agencies,  including entitlement programs, will continue to represent
an important part of the Company's business.

        Gross  profit  decreased  to  $422,000 in the June 1997 period from $1.3
million in the June 1996  period,  a 68%  decrease.  The  decrease  in the gross
profit was  substantially  the result of the  reduction  in revenue from the IBN
contract  as  well as a  decrease  in the  health  information  systems  license
revenue.  The gross margin decreased from 26.7% in the June 1996 period to 12.7%
for the June 1997 period.  The decrease in gross margin resulted from continuing
costs relating to the IBN contract,  including  consulting costs,  which were in
excess of the revenue level derived from such agreement.

        Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $1.3 million in the
June 1997 period,  an increase of 41% from the $934,000 in the June 1996 period.
This  increase  was the result of an increase in  personnel  and salaries in the
sales and  marketing  and  administrative  areas as well as an increase in other
direct sales  expenses and  insurance.  Increased  compensation  to officers and
directors  accounted  for  approximately  $46,000 of the  increase  in  selling,
general and administrative expenses.

        During the June 1996 period,  the Company incurred non cash compensation
charges of $2.2  million  arising out of the issuance by the Company of warrants
and options having  exercise prices which were less than the market value of the
Common Stock at the date of approval by the board of directors.  No such charges
were incurred during the June 1997 period.

        In the June 1997 period the Company recognized its 50% share of its loss
in its  joint  venture  corporation  with  respect  to the  development  of CCAC
Software,  which was  purchased in 1996.  The  Company's  share of such loss was
$104,000  for the June 1997 period as  compared  to  $100,000  for the June 1996
period.

        Interest  expense was  $151,000 in the June 1997  period,  a decrease of
$124,000, or 45%, from the $275,000 in the June 1996 period. This is a result of
a decrease  in the  average  borrowings  during the June 1997  period.  The most
significant  component  of the  interest  expense  on an  ongoing  basis  is the
interest payable to the Company's  asset-based lender. The Company pays interest
on such loan at a rate  equal to the  greater  of 18% per annum or prime plus 8%
plus a fee of 1% of the face amount of the  invoice.  Effective  August 1, 1997,
the Company's  agreement with its  asset-based  lender was revised to reduce the
interest rate to prime plus 8 1/2% plus a fee of .625% of the face amount of the
invoice, with a minimum monthly interest payment of $10,000.

        Related  party  administrative  expense  was  $90,000  in the June  1997
period,  an increase of $81,000  from the $9,000 in the June 1996  period.  This
increase was the result of an agreement  with The Trinity Group, a subsidiary of
Consolidated,  to provide general business,  management and financial consulting
services for a monthly fee of $15,000.

        The Company did not incur any research and development costs in the June
1997 or 1996 periods.

        As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company incurred a net loss of
$1.2  million,  or $.18 per share,  in June 1997 period,  as compared with a net
loss of $2.2 million, or $.46 per share, in June 1996 period.


Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

        The  Company's  revenue for 1996 was $8.5  million,  an increase of $1.1
million, or 15% from the revenue for 1995 which was $7.4 million.  Approximately
$1.6 million of the increase in revenue was generated  pursuant to the Company's
agreement with IBN. IBN represented the Company's most significant  customer for
1996, accounting for approximately 22% of revenue. Furthermore, through December
31, 1996, IBN has generated revenue of $2.4 million,  or approximately  89.6% of
the Company's  total revenue from the  CarteSmart  systems  during the two years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 on a combined basis.  The revenue  generated to
date

includes approximately $419,000 of guaranteed royalties.  The Company intends to
expand its marketing effort for its CarteSmart System,  however, at December 31,
1996,  the Company did not have any  significant  contracts  for the  CarteSmart
system.

        Revenue  from the  Company's  health  information  systems  continued to
represent the Company's principal source of revenue in 1996, accounting for $6.5
million or 76% of revenue.  However, as a result of the increase of revenue from
CarteSmart  systems,  principally  from IBN,  revenue  from  health  information
systems and  services  declined as a  percentage  of total  revenue.  Except for
revenue from the IBN contract, the largest component of revenue in 1996 was data
center (service  bureau) revenue which increased to $2,207,000 in 1996 from $1.7
million in 1995,  reflecting  an increase of 27%.  The turnkey  systems  revenue
decreased  to $1.7  million  in 1996 from $1.8  million  in 1995,  reflecting  a
decrease of 6%. Maintenance  revenue increased to $1.2 million in 1996 from $1.1
million in 1995,  reflecting a 11% increase.  Revenue from third party  hardware
and  software  decreased  to $1.1  million in 1996 from $2.1  million in 1995, a
decrease of 48%.  Sales of third party  hardware  and  software are made only in
connection  with the sales of turnkey  systems.  License  revenue  increased  to
$329,000 in 1996 from $162,000 in 1995.  License revenue is generated as part of
a sale of a turnkey  system  pursuant  to a  contract  or  purchase  order  that
includes  development of a turnkey system and maintenance.  The Company believes
that the increase in 1996  installations  should  enable the Company to increase
the maintenance revenue in future periods.

        Revenue from  contracts  from  government  agencies  represented  31% of
revenue for 1996 . The Company  believes  that such  contracts  will continue to
represent an important part of its business, particularly its health information
systems  business.  In 1996,  contracts from government  agencies  accounted for
approximately 40% of its revenue from health information systems.

        Gross  profit  decreased  to $1.3  million in 1996 from $1.8  million in
1995, a 24%  decrease.  The decrease in the gross profit was  substantially  the
result of costs associated with the completion of the IBN contract.

        Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million in 1996,
a decrease of 24% from the $2.5 million in 1995.  The decline was  substantially
the result of a one time charge in 1995 of a write off deferred  public offering
costs in the amount of $460,000 as well as a reduction in executive compensation
and a reduction  in staff.  In  addition,  during  1995,  the  Company  expensed
approximately  $313,000 of capitalized software development costs relating to an
earlier version of the CarteSmart  System,  which amount is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses for the year..

        During 1996, the Company incurred non cash compensation  charges of $3.5
million  arising out of the  issuance  by the  Company of  warrants  and options
having exercise prices which were less than the market value of the Common Stock
at the date of  approval by the board of  directors.  During  1996,  the Company
issued 500,000 common shares to certain  noteholders and 25,000 common shares to
the Company's  asset based  lender.  As a result of such  issuance,  the Company
incurred a financing cost charge to operations of approximately $1.7 million.

        In 1996,  the Company  incurred  $278,000 for  research and  development
relating to the  development of  applications  for the CarteSmart  System in the
financial  services  industry.  The results of such effort were  employed in the
work on the IBN  agreement.  The Company also incurred  $279,000 in  capitalized
software  development  relating to such  product.  The research and  development
expenses in 1996 reflected a decrease of $421,000,  or 60.2%,  from 1995, during
which the Company  incurred  research  and  development  expenses  of  $699,000,
relating  principally  to the CarteSmart  System and  development of a graphical
interface for the Company's health information systems.

        In 1996,  the Company  recognized its 50% share of its loss in its joint
venture  corporation  with  respect to the  purchase of the CCAC  Software.  The
amount of such loss was $264,000.

        Interest  expense was  $473,000 in 1996,  a decrease of $81,000,  or 15%
from the  interest  expense  in  1995.  The most  significant  component  of the
interest  expense on an ongoing  basis is the interest  payable to the Company's
asset-based lender, which it pays interest equal to the greater of 18% per annum
or prime plus 8% plus a fee of 1% of the face amount of the invoice.

        As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company incurred a net loss of
$6.6  million,  or $1.29 per share in 1996 as  compared  with a net loss of $2.9
million, or $.73 per share in 1995.

Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994

        The results of the Company's  operations for the year ended December 31,
1995 are not  comparable  with the  results  of  operations  for 1994  since the
acquisition of CSM was effective July 1, 1994, and the results of operations for
1994 include the CSM business only from such date.

        The  Company's  revenue  for  1995  was $7.4  million,  representing  an
increase of 152% from the revenue of the Company for 1994 of $2.9  million.  The
increase reflected the inclusion of CSM's operation for only the last six months
of the year. Revenue from health information  systems and services accounted for
$6.8 million, or 91.5% of total revenue for 1995 and more than 99% of pro forma

                                               - 18 -

combined  revenue of the Company and CSM for 1994.  CarteSmart  Systems  revenue
accounted for the balance of the revenue for the periods.  In 1994,  the Company
generated  CarteSmart  Systems  revenue of $90,000 from the pilot project in San
Diego County. In 1995, revenue from CarteSmart technology was $631,000.

        The largest component of revenue for 1995 was $2.0 million from the sale
of third party hardware and software,  as compared with $519,000 for 1994.  Such
revenue represented 26.7% and 17.7% of revenue for 1995 and 1994,  respectively.
A  significant  portion  of  revenue in 1995  represented  the sale of  hardware
($842,000) and software and related services  ($524,000)  pursuant to a purchase
order from the State of Colorado for its Department of Human  Services.  Revenue
from services  related to turnkey systems and data center revenue  accounted for
$1.8 million and $1.7 million, or 24.1% and 23.6% of revenue,  respectively, for
1995, as compared  with  $664,000 and  $884,000,  or 22.7% and 30.2% of revenue,
respectively,  for 1994.  Maintenance  revenue was $1.1  million and $500,000 in
1995  and  1994,   respectively,   representing   14.9%  and  17%  of   revenue,
respectively.  The  Company  believes  that the  increase  in  installations  at
December 31, 1995 from the prior year should  enable the Company to increase the
maintenance revenue in future periods. Revenue from CarteSmart Systems increased
to  $631,000  in 1995,  representing  8.6% of  revenue,  from  $90,000  in 1994,
representing  3.1% of revenue.  The CarteSmart  System revenue reflected revenue
from IBN ($481,000), VCU ($118,000) and the San Diego pilot program ($31,000) in
1995 and the San Diego  project  ($90,000)  in 1994.  The  overall  increase  in
revenue  reflects the inclusion of CarteSmart  Systems revenue combined with the
revenue from the Colorado agreement.

        Both the  increase in revenue  and the change in revenue  mix  reflected
increased revenue resulting from an enhanced marketing effort following the June
1994  acquisition of CSM.  During the second half of 1994, the Company  received
significant  purchase  orders from the State of Colorado for its  Department  of
Human  Services  and the State of  Oklahoma.  The  Colorado  order  covered  the
purchase  of  the  Company's  health  information  system,  including  software,
consulting  services and hardware,  at a total purchase  price of  approximately
$1.2 million.  Of the purchase  price,  approximately  $700,000  represented the
purchase  price  of the  software  and  consulting  services,  and  the  balance
represents  the cost of the  hardware.  In July  1994,  the  Company  received a
purchase  order  from a state  agency  of the  State  of  Oklahoma  for a health
information system which includes the graphical interface.  The order called for
the  installation  of the  system  in ten  hospitals  for a  purchase  price  of
approximately   $430,000.  The  Company  is  continuing  to  market  its  health
information systems to entitlement  programs.  It believes that the inclusion of
the graphical and smart card functions, which were implemented during the second
half of 1994 and the  first  half of  1995,  will  assist  it in  marketing  its
products to entitlement  programs.  It also believes that the  successful  pilot
project for the smart card  interface in San Diego  provides the Company with an
important tool in marketing this function to both new and existing clients.  The
Company is commencing a marketing  effort for its CarteSmart  System directed at
the financial services industry and educational  institutions.  However,  in the
industries to which the Company is marketing its products,  there is typically a
long selling  cycle,  as a result of which the Company must  continue to support
its marketing effort for a significant period before any revenue is realized.

        Gross profit increased to $1.8 million in 1995 from $390,000 in 1994, an
increase of 352%,  which  reflected  an increase in the gross margin to 23.9% in
1995 from 13.3% in 1994.  The  increase in gross profit  resulted  from both the
improved  gross margin and the inclusion of twelve  months of CSM  operations in
1995 and six months of such operations in 1994. The improved margin reflects the
significant  increase in  CarteSmart  revenue,  on which the Company  realized a
higher margin than on its health information systems and services.  However, the
amortization of capitalized  software costs of $419,000 during 1995 is reflected
as a cost of revenue,  which offset the higher margin for the CarteSmart System.
During 1995, the Company changed its CarteSmart  System from a DOS-based  system
to a  Windows-based  system.  The  capitalized  costs  related to the  DOS-based
system. As a result, at December 31, 1995, the Company wrote off the unamortized
software  development costs, which increased cost of revenue.  In addition,  the
Company expensed the development of the Windows-based  system, which was charged
to research and development. The gross profit for 1995 benefitted from the gross
margin for maintenance services.  During 1995, the gross profit from maintenance
services  increased to $356,000 from $52,000 in 1994,  reflecting an increase in
the gross margin from such  services to 32.4% for 1995 from 10.4% for 1994.  The
increase in margin  resulted  from  increased  services  performed on a time and
materials  basis as well as a  reduction  in staff  as the  Company  was able to
perform the same services with a smaller staff.

        Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million and $1.5
million for 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing a 65.0% increase. In 1994,
selling,  general and administrative expenses included approximately $236,000 of
compensation expense arising out of the issuance of Consolidated common stock to
former  officers  of CSM and the grant by SISC to such  persons  of  options  to
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock which were owned by SISC. However,
in 1995,  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  included  a $200,000
increase in  annualized  expenses  resulting  from an increase in the  marketing
staff, a $100,000  increase in the level of  compensation  for the Company's and
CSM's officers  following the June 1994  acquisition  of CSM,  $150,000 in legal
expenses,  a portion of which related to the acquisition of CSM, and $313,000 of
the   amortization  of  customer  lists  resulting  from  the  CSM  acquisition.
Commencing  July 1, 1994,  general  and  administrative  expenses  reflects  the
amortization of customer lists resulting from the CSM acquisition.

        Research  and  development  was $699,000 and $367,000 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively,  representing a 90.4% increase. The increase reflects research and
development for smart card and related products and the graphical  interface for
the Company's health information systems.

        During  1995,  the  Company   incurred   financing  costs  of  $863,000,
representing  the write-off of deferred  financing  costs relating to a proposed
initial  public  offering which had been scheduled for early 1995, but which had
been canceled. No such expenses were incurred in 1994.

        Interest expense was $554,000 and $260,000 for 1995 and 1994, reflecting
a 113% increase. The increased interest reflects (i) financing costs of $208,000
reflecting  interest  and  fees  at  higher  borrowing  levels  pursuant  to the
Company's  agreement with its asset-based  lender and (ii) interest at 10% on an
increased average level of borrowings from SISC. The most significant  component
of the  interest on an ongoing  basis is the interest  payable to the  Company's
asset-based  lender,  on which it pays interest  equal to the greater of 18% per
annum or prime plus 8% plus a fee of 1% of the face amount of the  invoice.  The
debt  restructure  whereby at September 30, 1995,  SISC  exchanged  more than $2
million  in debt for  shares of  Series D  Preferred  Stock  and the  subsequent
exchange by SISC of a portion of such preferred stock for Common Stock will have
the effect of reducing the interest payable by the Company, which reduction will
be offset to some extent by dividends payable to SISC with respect to the Series
D Preferred Stock.  However,  the $72,700 annual dividends  payable on the 1,210
shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be significantly  less than the interest
paid on the debt.

        As a result of the foregoing  factors,  the Company  sustained losses of
$2.9  million,  or $.59 per share,  for 1995,  as  compared  with a loss of $1.8
million,  or $.36 per share. If certain  additional  compensation  expenses were
incurred  during the year,  the pro forma loss would have been $3.5 million,  or
$.73 per share.

        In  addition,  at  December  31,  1995 and 1994,  the  estimated  profit
included in cost and estimated  profit in excess of interim billings and interim
billings in excess of cost and estimated  profit  decreased  substantially  from
approximately $1.4 million to approximately  $500,000. This decrease reflected a
reduction in the number of contracts  that have billing  schedules  which differ
from revenue  recognition.  As a result of a reduced number of such contracts at
December 31, 1995, the estimated profits from such contracts declined.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Since January 1, 1996, the Company's  principal source of funds has been
its initial  public  offering  in August  1996 and the August  1996  exercise of
warrants,  which generated net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million,  of which
approximately  $2.1  million  was  used to pay  loans,  including  approximately
$750,000  to pay the  Company's  indebtedness  due to SISC,  $96,000  to  redeem
preferred stock and $250,000 to pay a fee to an affiliate of a director.

        Except for its initial  public  offering  and the issuance of stock upon
exercise  of  warrants,  the  Company's  principal  source of funds,  other than
revenue,  is an  accounts  receivable  financing  agreement  with an asset based
lender whereby it may borrow up to 80% of eligible  accounts  receivable up to a
maximum of $750,000.  As of June 30, 1997 and September 1, 1997, the outstanding
borrowings under this facility were $703,000 and $895,000,  respectively.  Based
on the borrowing  formula,  the maximum  available was $750,000 at June 30, 1997
and $895,000 at  September  1, 1997.  Effective  August 1, 1997,  the  Company's
agreement with its  asset-based  lender was revised to increase the credit limit
to $1.25  million and to reduce the  interest  rate to prime plus 8 1/2% (with a
minimum  monthly  interest  payment of $10,000)  plus a fee of .625% of the face
amount of the invoice.  Because the Company's  availability  under its borrowing
formula is based on eligible accounts receivable,  unless the Company is able to
generate  more  eligible  receivables,  it  will  not be able  to  increase  its
borrowings.

        The Company had a working  capital  deficit of $1.1  million at June 30,
1997, as compared to working  capital of $477,000 at December 31, 1996. The $1.6
million  decrease in working capital from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997 was
substantially  due to the net loss  incurred  for during the June 1997 period as
well as the  Company's  investment  in  capitalized  software.  The Company also
invested an additional  $148,000 in its CCAC joint venture  during the June 1997
period. The Company's cash balances were $22,000 at June 30, 1997 as compared to
$998,000 at December 31, 1996.

        At June 30, 1997, accounts receivable and costs and estimated profits in
excess  of  interim  billings  were  approximately  $3.2  million,  representing
approximately  174 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the June
1997 period,  although no assurance  can be given that revenue will  continue at
the same level as the June 1997  period.  Accounts  receivable  at June 30, 1997
increased by $147,000  from $2.3 million at December 31, 1996 to $2.4 million at
June 30,  1997.  At June 30,  1997,  IBN  accounted  for 15% of the total  gross
accounts  receivable   balance.  A  significant   percentage  of  such  accounts
receivable  from IBN at June 30,  1997 had been  outstanding  for more than nine
months.  One  other  customer  accounted  for 16% of the  total  gross  accounts
receivable  balance.  However,  cash  received  from this  customer in July 1997
reduced  the  account  receivable  balance  to less  than  10% of the  Company's
accounts  receivable.  No other  customer  accounted  for  more  than 10% of the
accounts receivable at June 30, 1997.

        The Company is currently seeking to raise additional working capital. In
the event that the Company  does not raise  sufficient  capital from the sale of
the shares of Common  Stock  upon  exercise  of the  Warrants,  it will  require
significant additional capital from

other  sources.  No  assurance  can be given as to the ability of the Company to
obtain  additional  working  capital  and failure to obtain  additional  working
capital  could have a material  adverse  affect on the Company and its financial
condition.


                                                 BUSINESS

Background

        The Company was  organized  in  September  1992 to develop  systems that
operate in a distributed  network  environment using a range of technologies.  A
network system is a computer system that provides  multiple users with access to
a common data base. A network system can be a local system, such as a local area
network or LAN, which operates within a single office or facility,  or a network
system  which  provides  simultaneous  access to a common data base by different
users or different classes of users at multiple locations.

        There are typically three parties in the Company's network system -- the
sponsor, which is the party that maintains the data base, such as a managed care
organization or financial  institution,  the users,  who are the individuals who
use the system, and may be the subscribers of a managed care organization or the
bank card or  credit  card  holders  of a  financial  network,  and the  service
providers,  who are those who provide  goods or  services to the users,  such as
physicians, pharmacies, banks and merchants who provide goods, services or funds
to bank card or credit card holders.

        The Company's  principal  services are its health  information  systems,
which are marketed principally to specialized care facilities, many of which are
operated  by  government  entities  and  include  entitlement  programs.   Users
typically  purchase  one of the  health  information  systems,  in the form of a
perpetual license to use the system, as well as contract  services,  maintenance
and third party  hardware  and  software  which the Company  offers  pursuant to
arrangements  with the  hardware  and software  vendors.  The contract  services
include  project  management,  training,  consulting  and  software  development
services, which are provided either on a time and materials basis or pursuant to
a  fixed-price  contract.  The  software  development  services  may require the
Company to adapt one of its  health  information  systems  to meet the  specific
requirements of the customer.

        The Company has developed proprietary network technology utilizing smart
cards which it markets in the health care, financial and education fields as the
CarteSmart  System.  A smart card is a plastic card about the size of a standard
credit card which contains a single embedded  microprocessor chip with both data
storage and computing  capabilities.  The smart card software provides access to
the information stored in the chip, the ability to update stored information and
includes security elements to restrict unauthorized access to or modification of
certain information stored on the card utilizing a smart card reader system. The
smart  card  reader  system and the  software  provides  the  ability to include
information on both the smart card and the  organization's  computer system. The
Company also offers network  applications  which use  telecommunications  rather
than smart cards to obtain access to and manage data.

        The  Company's  principal  source of revenue  is its health  information
systems and related services which are marketed by CSM. For the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, approximately 95% and 76% of
revenue was derived from health information systems and services.  Substantially
all of the Company  revenue  through  December  31, 1995 was derived from health
information systems and services.  The only significant revenue derived from the
Company's CarteSmart System represented revenue from one customer,  IBN, and the
contract with IBN is  substantially  complete.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company
did not have any significant backlog for its CarteSmart System.


Health Information Systems and Services

        The Company, through its human services division, offers its customers a
range of health  information  systems  which  were  developed.  Users  typically
purchase  one of the  health  information  systems,  in the form of a  perpetual
license to use the system, as well as contract  services,  maintenance and third
party hardware and software which the Company  offers  pursuant to  arrangements
with the hardware and software  vendors.  The contract  services include project
management,  training,  consulting and software development services,  which are
provided  either on a time and  materials  basis or  pursuant  to a  fixed-price
contract. The software development services may require the Company to adapt one
of its health  information  systems  to meet the  specific  requirements  of the
customer.

        Although the health  information  systems  constituted  the basis of the
Company's business, revenue from the license of such systems has not represented
a  major  component  of  its  revenues.  The  price  for a  license  for  health
information  systems can range from $25,000 to $250,000.  Through June 30, 1997,
the price of all licenses issued by the Company has been in the lower portion of
the price range. The license payment  reflects  principally the number of users,
and, accordingly,  a state agency which requires a large number of installations
would be charged a higher  license fee than an agency that  operated only one or
two installations. During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company  installed  health  information  systems
with six, six and eleven customers,  respectively. Revenue from the licensing of
such systems represented approximately $145,000, $329,000 and

                                               - 21 -

$162,000, in the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively, accounting for approximately 4.4%, 3.9% and 2.2% of
revenue for such periods.

        The  Company  offers  software  systems  which are  designed to meet the
requirements of providers of long-term specialty care treatment.  Certain of its
systems were  developed to meet the  requirements  of  Federally  funded  target
cities projects and is installed in Baltimore, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Cuyahoga
County (Cleveland), Ohio.

        A customer's  purchase  order may also include  third party  hardware or
software.  For the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and the years ended  December
31, 1996 and 1995,  revenue from hardware and third party software accounted for
approximately $489,000, $1.1 million and $2.1 million, representing 14.8%, 13.0%
and 29.1%, respectively, of revenues in such periods.

        In addition to its health information systems and related services,  the
Company offers  specialty care facilities a data center,  at which its personnel
perform data entry and data  processing and produce  operations  reports.  These
services are typically provided to smaller  substance-abuse  clinics. During the
six months  ended June 30, 1997 and the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995,
the Company's service bureau operation  generated revenue of approximately  $1.0
million, $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, representing approximately
30.8%, 25.8% and 23.6%, of the Company's revenues for such periods.  The largest
user of the  service  bureau is the  State of New York  Office  of  Alcohol  and
Substance  Abuse Services,  which uses the Company's  service bureau to maintain
its statewide database of methadone users,  however, such customer accounted for
less than 4% of the Company's  revenues in such periods.  The Company intends to
augment the marketing  effort for the service bureau,  although no assurance can
be given that such operations will continue to be profitable.

         Maintenance services have generated increasing revenue and are becoming
a more significant portion of the Company's business. Since purchasers of health
information system licenses typically purchase maintenance service,  maintenance
revenue  increases as new customers  obtain licenses for its health  information
services.  Under its  maintenance  contracts,  which are  executed  on an annual
basis,  the Company  maintains its software and provides certain  upgrades.  Its
obligations  under the maintenance  contract may require the Company to make any
modifications necessary to meet new Federal reporting requirements.  The Company
does not maintain the hardware and third party software sold to its customers.


The CarteSmart System

        The  Company's  CarteSmart  System  software  was designed to operate on
industry-standard computer networks and "smart cards." A smart card is a plastic
card  the  size  of  a  standard   credit   card  which   contains  an  embedded
microprocessor chip. The card has data storage and computing  capabilities,  and
the smart card  software  includes  security  elements to restrict  unauthorized
access to or modification of certain information  contained on the card. A smart
card may also include a magnetic  stripe to allow it to be used in networks that
do not include  smart card  functionality.  The smart  cards are  designed to be
issued only by the sponsor  organization,  such as a managed care  organization,
specialty  care  facility,  administrator  of an  entitlement  program  or other
similar organization, a university or a bank or credit card organization.

        The CarteSmart  software  consists of components which allow the Company
to develop  network  applications  for  sponsors  with less effort that would be
required  if  those  network  applications  were  developed  from  scratch.  The
CarteSmart  software consists of an Application Program Interface ("API") and an
API Generator which allows fast  customization  of the API for specific  network
applications.  The API is a set of  software  modules  that  provide  the common
functions required to support a computer network using smart cards. By using the
API, the Company or a sponsor may develop  network  systems more quickly than if
all of the software necessary to implement the network were custom written for a
particular  network  application.  The API Generator is a tool  developed by the
Company that is designed to allow the Company or a network  sponsor to develop a
custom API for a  particular  network  and reduce the effort  required  to build
network systems.

        The  CarteSmart  System is  designed  to  operate  on file  servers  and
personal computers which utilize the DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT or
UNIX operating systems, depending upon the application. The software used in the
smart card can be used or adapted for use in most  commercially  available smart
cards.  Smart cards  generally meet  international  standards and are considered
commodity products, although each manufacturer has its own software to interface
with a computer.  Accordingly,  the Company  believes that a manufacturer  would
provide any necessary assistance in order to market its cards.

        Although  the   Company's   CarteSmart   System   software  has  general
application, its limited experience reflects a need to customize the software to
meet the specific needs of the client.  Although the  customization  need not be
significant,  each user has its  unique  requirements  that  must be met.  These
requirements  may include the need to enable the CarteSmart  System to interface
with the client's  existing  systems to the  development  of a range of software
products to meet needs which are not presently being served.

        The Company's  initial  applications  were designed to meet the needs of
managed care organizations and entitlement programs, and the Company developed a
smart card  interface to its health  management  systems.  The smart card stores
only a limited amount of information, and is intended to reflect current medical
conditions and not a record of medical  treatment  from birth.  When the storage
capacity of the card, which is equivalent to  approximately  ten typed pages, is
reached,  items are deleted on a  chronological  basis,  with the earliest items
being deleted first,  although  there is an override  procedure by which certain
crucial medical  information,  such as allergies and chronic conditions,  can be
retained,  regardless  of the date when the patient was diagnosed or treated for
the condition.  The card can also include information on each prescription which
the patient is taking.  A smart card is different from a magnetic stripe card in
that it has an updatable  data storage  capacity,  which a magnetic  stripe card
does not.

        To date, the Company has not generated any significant  revenue from the
license of its  CarteSmart  software  other than pursuant to its agreement  with
IBN. The Company is marketing its CarteSmart System to entitlement  programs and
managed care  organizations;  however,  as of June 30, 1997,  except for a pilot
project in San Diego  County,  California,  the Company has not entered into any
agreements with any such  organizations,  and no assurance can be given that the
Company will enter into any such agreements.

        During  1995,  the Company  commenced  marketing  its  CarteSmart  based
products to markets other than the health care field.  In July 1995, the Company
entered  into an  agreement  pursuant to which it  installed  a magnetic  stripe
identification  system  which uses  CarteSmart  technology  to  provide  for the
centralized  issuance  of a single  card to all  persons  allowed  access to the
university and its services.  The card contains the  individual's  name,  photo,
signature  and unique card  identification  number,  which  defines the holder's
entitlement to food service and library services.  Approximately 20,000 students
are using the system.  A magnetic  card  differs from a smart card since it does
not have an independent updatable data storage capability.

        The Company  believes that a major market for its smart card  technology
is the financial services industry, including banks and credit card issuers. The
Company's only  significant  customer for its CarteSmart  System was IBN, and no
assurance  can be given  that  the  Company  will  have  any  other  significant
customers  for such  services.  The  agreement  with IBN relates to a CarteSmart
license and the implementation by IBN of a system, which includes such software,
for financial  institutions  in the former  Soviet  Union.  Revenue from IBN was
approximately $95,000, or 2.9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and $1.9 million, or 22.0% of revenue,  for the year ended December 31, 1996. As
of June 30, 1997, the agreement with IBN was  substantially  completed,  and the
Company  does not  anticipate  that it will render any  additional  professional
services  pursuant  to the IBN  agreement.  No  assurance  can be given that the
Company will derive any  significant  revenue from IBN. The system  delivered to
IBN  includes   IST/Share   Financial   Transaction  System  software  of  Oasis
Technologies, Inc. ("Oasis") and other third party software which the Company is
integrating with its CarteSmart  software to complete the IBN system.  Mr. Storm
R. Morgan,  a director of the Company,  is senior vice  president of, and has an
equity interest in, Oasis.

        In developing the CarteSmart System for the financial services industry,
the  Company  is  using  networking  technologies  that  use  telecommunications
networks as well as smart cards. In addition, the Company, through a subsidiary,
purchased the CCAC Software,  which processes  retail plastic card  transactions
and merchant  transactions.  The purchase price was $650,000,  of which $325,000
was paid by the  Company  and the  remaining  $325,000  was paid by Oasis or its
affiliates.  The CCAC  Software  is designed  to perform  functions  required by
credit card issuers,  including  applications  processing  and tracking,  credit
evaluations,  credit authorization and the printing of statements. See "Business
- -- Product Development."

Markets and Marketing

        Although   the  market  for  smart  card   systems   includes   numerous
applications   where  a  secure  distributed  data  base  processing  system  is
important,  the Company's  initial marketing efforts were directed to the health
and human services market,  including managed care organizations and entitlement
programs.  In the United  States  alone,  the  Company  believes  that there are
presently more than 75 million persons who participate in managed care programs,
which are sponsored by almost 600  organizations or health insurers.  Because of
the relationship  between the organization  and the  participating  medical care
providers  and  patients,  the  organization  can  institute a smart card system
without the need for the Company to conduct a separate marketing effort directed
at the medical care providers. Although independent health insurers which do not
operate a managed care  organization may, in the future, be a market for a smart
card system,  because the relationship  between the insurer and the medical care
provider  is  different  from  that of the  managed  care  organization  and its
participating  medical care providers,  the Company is not treating  independent
insurance  companies as a market for the CarteSmart System, and no assurance can
be given that it will ever become a market for the system.

        The market for the  Company's  health  information  systems  and related
services is comprised of various providers of specialty care involving long-term
treatment of a repetitive  nature rather than short-term  critical care, such as
medical and surgical  hospitals or clinics.  The Company believes that there are
approximately  15,000 providers of such treatment programs in the United States,
including public and private hospitals,  private and community-based residential
facilities  and  Federal,  state  and  local  governmental  agencies.  Of  these
facilities, approximately 200 are customers of the Company.

        The Company believes that the acquisition of the CSM business and assets
complements its CarteSmart  business and personnel.  Following the  acquisition,
the Company  developed the graphical and smart card  interface to the CSM health
information  system and commenced a marketing  effort  directed to the Company's
customer base.

        The Company's  health  information  systems are marketed  principally to
specialized care facilities,  many of which are operated by government  entities
and include entitlement programs.  During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
the years ended  December  31, 1996 and 1995,  approximately  33%,  31% and 54%,
respectively,  of the  Company's  revenue  was  generated  from  contracts  with
government  agencies.  Contracts  with  government  agencies  generally  include
provisions  which  permit the  contracting  agency to cancel the contract at its
convenience.

        No  customer  accounted  for 10% of the  Company's  revenue  for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  For the year ended December 31, 1996, one customer,
IBN,  accounted  for more than 10% of the Company's  revenue.  IBN accounted for
revenue of  approximately  $1.9 million,  representing  22.0% of revenue for the
year.

        For the year ended  December 31, 1995,  one customer  accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's  revenue.  The State of Colorado  generated revenue of
approximately $1.4 million, representing 18.5% of revenue for the year.

        The Company  believes  that the  CarteSmart  software  has  applications
beyond  the  health  and human  services  market  and is  seeking  to market the
software to educational institutions and in the financial services industry. See
"Business -- The CarteSmart  System." In April 1995, the Company  entered into a
joint marketing agreement with Oasis, pursuant to which each company markets the
software of the other company.  Oasis, an independent  software  developer,  has
developed  and markets a  transaction  processing  system,  known as  IST/Share,
designed for high volume users in the financial services industry.  Mr. Storm R.
Morgan,  a director of and consultant to the Company,  is an officer of, and has
an equity interest in, Oasis. The Company believes that its agreement with Oasis
will enhance its ability to market and  introduce  its product to the  financial
services industry where Oasis has an existing client base.
Through  June 30,  1997,  no  revenue  has been  generated  as a result  of this
agreement.

        The Company may enter into  negotiations with other companies which have
business,  product  lines or products  which are  compatible  with the Company's
business objectives. However, no assurance can be given as to the ability of the
Company to enter into any  agreement  with such a company or that any  agreement
will result in licenses of the  CarteSmart  System.  See  "Business -- Potential
Business Agreements."

        At  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  the  Company had a backlog of orders,
including ongoing maintenance and data center contracts, in the aggregate amount
of  $3.7  million  and  $4.2  million,  respectively.  Substantially  all of the
December  31, 1996 backlog is expected to be filled  during 1997.  Substantially
all of the December 31, 1995 backlog was filled during 1996.  All of the backlog
at both dates relates to health information sales and services.

        The  Company's  sales  force  is  comprised  of  three  full-time  sales
representatives,  as well as Mr. Leonard M. Luttinger,  vice president,  John F.
Phillips, vice president - marketing, and Storm R. Morgan, who provides advisory
services on an as-needed basis through SMI. In addition, Mr. Luttinger and other
members  of the  Company's  technical  staff are  available  to assist in market
support,  especially  for  proposals  which  contemplate  the use of smart  card
transaction processing networks.

Product Development

        During 1996, the Company incurred  $278,000 for research and development
relating to the  development of  applications  for the CarteSmart  System in the
financial  services  industry.  The results of such effort were  employed in the
work on the IBN  agreement.  The Company also incurred  $279,000 in  capitalized
software development relating to such product. During 1995 and 1994, the Company
incurred  research and development  expenses of $699,000 and $367,000,  relating
principally to the CarteSmart  System and  development of a graphical  interface
for the Company's  health  information  systems.  The Company is continuing  the
development and enhancement of the CarteSmart  System,  and six of its employees
are engaged in such  activities.  The Company intends to develop a product based
on both the CCAC Software and its own  technologies,  including  the  CarteSmart
System,  and to  develop  a  network  support  tool for the  financial  services
industry.  The proposed enhancements include an increased language capability so
that it can be multilingual,  an interface with the Company's  CarteSmart System
and an interface with Oasis' IST/Share, which is a transaction processing system
for high volume users in the financial services industry.


Competition

        The Company is in the  business  of  licensing  software to  entitlement
programs and managed care  organizations,  specialty care institutions and other
major computer  users who have a need for access to a distributed  data network,
and  marketing   health   information   systems   software  to  specialty   care
organizations.  The  software  industry  in  general is highly  competitive.  In
addition, with technological

developments in the communications  industry, it is possible that communications
as well as computer  and  software  companies  may offer  similar or  comparable
services.  Although  the  Company  believes  that it can  provide a health  care
facility or managed care  organization with software to enable it to perform its
services  more  effectively,  other  companies,  including  major  computer  and
communications  companies  have the staff and  resources to develop  competitive
systems,  and users,  such as insurance  companies,  have the ability to develop
software systems in house. Because of the large subscriber base participating in
the major  managed care  organizations,  the inability of the Company to license
any such organizations could have a materially adverse effect upon its business.
Furthermore,  various  companies have offered smart cards  programs,  by which a
person can have his medical records stored,  and software  vendors and insurance
companies  have  developed  software to enable a physician or other medical care
provider to have direct  access to the  insurer's  computer  and other  software
designed to maintain  patient health and/or  medication  records.  The market is
very cost sensitive.  In marketing  systems such as the CarteSmart  System,  the
Company  must be able to  demonstrate  the  ability  of the  network  sponsor to
provide enhanced  services at lower effective cost. Major systems and consulting
vendors,  such as Unisys,  AT&T Corp. and Andersen  Worldwide may offer packages
which include smart cards and other network services.  No assurance can be given
that the Company will be able to compete successfully with such competitors. The
Company believes the health insurance industry is developing  switching software
to be used in  transmitting  claims from health care  providers to the insurers,
and  insurers  or  managed  care  organizations  may also  develop or license or
purchase  from others the software to process such claims,  which would  compete
with certain functions of the CarteSmart System. The health information  systems
business is highly  competitive,  and is serviced by a number of major companies
and a larger number of smaller companies,  many of which are better capitalized,
better known and have better marketing staffs than the Company, and no assurance
can be given  that the  Company  will be able to compete  effectively  with such
companies.  Major vendors of health  information  systems include Shared Medical
Systems Corp. and HBO Corp.,  although the Company  believes that such companies
market  their  products  to  segments  of the heath  care  field  other than the
behavioral  field. The Company believes that price  competition is a significant
factor in its ability to market its health information systems and services.

        The  Company  also faces  intense  competition  as it seeks to enter the
education and financial  services markets.  Competition for the education market
includes not only major and minor software  developers,  but credit card issuers
and telecommunications  companies. In marketing its CarteSmart-based products to
educational  institutions,  the  Company  can  focus  on  the  benefits  to  the
university of providing an all-purpose  card to ease  administration  and reduce
costs. Major credit card issuers and communications  companies, such as American
Express,  AT&T and MCI, can offer similar  services by permitting the university
to link their cards with the university's services.  Such organizations can also
use these  marketing  efforts  as a part of their  overall  corporate  marketing
strategy to familiarize the students with their particular cards and services in
hopes  of  attracting  the  students  as a  long-term  user of their  cards  and
services.  As part of a marketing plan,  rather than a profit center,  such card
issuers may be able to offer the  universities  services similar to the Company,
but at a lower cost to the  university.  In this context,  it is possible  that,
unless the  Company  can enter into a  marketing  arrangement  with a major card
issuer or  telecommunications  company,  the  Company may not be able to compete
successfully in marketing its CarteSmart products to educational institutions.

        The financial  services industry is served by numerous software vendors.
In addition,  major  banks,  credit card  issuers and other  financial  services
companies  have the  resources  to  develop  networking  software  in house.  At
present, most financial institutions use magnetic stripe cards rather than smart
cards.  The Company  believes that its CarteSmart  System together with the CCAC
Software and its joint marketing  agreement with Oasis,  which presently  serves
the  financial  services  industry,  will  assist the  Company  in  selling  and
licensing its products and services in the financial services industry. However,
to the extent that smart cards become more  important in the financial  services
industry,  more  companies in the financial  services  industry,  as well as the
major  computer  and  software  companies,  all of whom  are  better  known  and
substantially better capitalized than the Company, and numerous smaller software
developers,  are expected to play an increasingly  active role in developing and
marketing smart card based products. No assurance can be given as to the ability
of the Company to compete in this industry. Furthermore, the joint venture among
Visa,  MasterCard and certain major banks relating to the development of a smart
card based system and the entry of American  Express in the smart card  business
may have an adverse  effect upon the ability of the Company to market smart card
products to the financial services industry.  No assurance can be given that the
Company will be able to compete successfully with such competitors.

Government Regulations

        The Federal and state  governments  have  adopted  numerous  regulations
relating  to the health care  industry,  including  regulations  relating to the
payments to health care  providers  for various  services.  The  adoption of new
regulations  can have a  significant  effect upon the  operations of health care
providers and insurance  companies.  Although the Company's business is aimed at
meeting certain of the problems  resulting from government  regulations and from
efforts to reduce the cost of health care,  the effect of future  regulations by
governments  and payment  practices by government  agencies or health  insurers,
including reductions in the funding for or scope of entitlement programs, cannot
be  predicted.  Any change in the  structure of health care in the United States
can have a material  effect on companies  providing  services,  including  those
providing  software.  Although the Company  believes  that one likely  direction
which may result from the current study of the health care industry  would be an
increased  trend to  managed  care  programs,  which is the  market to which the
Company is seeking to license its CarteSmart  System,  no assurance can be given
that the  Company's  business  will  benefit  from any  changes in the  industry
structure.  Even if the  industry  does  evolve  toward  more  health care being
provided  by  managed  care  organizations,  it is  possible  that there will be
substantial  concentration in a few very large organizations,  which may seek to
develop their own software or obtain software from other sources.  To the extent
that the health care industry evolves with greater government sponsored programs
and less privately run  organizations,  the Company's  business may be adversely
affected. Furthermore, to the extent that each state changes its own regulations
in the health  care  field,  it may be  necessary  for the Company to modify its
health information  systems to meet any new record-keeping or other requirements
imposed  by  changes  in  regulations,  and no  assurance  can be given that the
Company  will be able to  generate  revenues  sufficient  to cover  the costs of
developing the modifications.

        A  substantial  percentage  of CSM's  business has been with  government
agencies,  including  specialized care facilities operated by, or under contract
with, government agencies. See "Business -- Markets and Marketing." The decision
on the part of a government  agency to enter into a contract is dependent upon a
number of factors, including economic and budgetary problems affecting the local
area, and  government  procurement  regulations,  which may include the need for
approval  by more than one agency  before a contract  is  signed.  In  addition,
contracts with government agencies generally include provisions which permit the
contracting agency to cancel the contract at its convenience.


Intellectual Property Rights

        The CarteSmart System is a proprietary  system developed by the Company,
and its health information system software is proprietary  software developed by
CSM.  The  Company  has no patent  rights  for the  CarteSmart  System or health
information  system  software,  but it relies  upon  non-disclosure  and secrecy
agreements  with its employees  and third parties to whom the Company  discloses
information.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to protect
its  proprietary  rights to its  system or that any third  party  will not claim
rights in the system.  Disclosure of the codes used in the CarteSmart  System or
in any  proprietary  product,  whether or not in violation  of a  non-disclosure
agreement,  could have a materially adverse affect upon the Company, even if the
Company is successful in obtaining  injunctive  relief,  and no assurance can be
given that the Company will be able to obtain  injunctive  relief.  Furthermore,
the Company may not be able to enforce  its rights in the  CarteSmart  System in
certain foreign countries.

        Prior to  joining  the  Company,  Messrs.  Leonard  M.  Luttinger,  vice
president of the Company, and Thomas L. Evans, who was formerly a vice president
of the Company, were employed by Onecard Corporation,  a subsidiary or affiliate
of Onecard,  a corporation  which was engaged in the  development  of smart card
technology.  The Company  developed its  CarteSmart  technology  independent  of
Onecard,   and  no  Onecard   technology  was  incorporated  in  the  CarteSmart
technology.  See "Business --  Litigation"  for  information  with respect to an
action commenced by Onecard against the Company, Consolidated and certain of the
Company's officers.


Source of Supply

        Since the  Company  does not  provide  any of the  hardware or the smart
cards, it is the  responsibility  of the licensee to obtain the hardware,  smart
cards and other supplies.  The Company's  software operates on computer hardware
and smart cards manufactured by a number of suppliers.


Potential Business Agreements

        Following completion of this Offering,  the Company may enter into joint
ventures,   acquisitions  or  other   arrangements,   such  as  joint  marketing
arrangements and licensing agreements,  which the Company believes would further
the  Company's  growth  and  development.  In  negotiating  such  agreements  or
arrangements,  the Company  anticipates that such agreements would be based upon
the manner in which the Company's business can be expanded,  the extent to which
either the  Company's  technology  can be  introduced or developed in fields not
then being addressed by the Company or the extent to which  additional  channels
can be developed for the Company's products and technology.  The Company's joint
venture with Oasis and its affiliates to purchase and develop the CCAC

<PAGE>



Software and its joint marketing agreement with Oasis are other examples of such
agreements.  Although the Company is engaged in negotiations  and performing its
due  diligence  investigations  with  respect to a  potential  acquisition,  the
Company has not entered into any letters of intent or agreements with respect to
any such  arrangements or transactions.  Furthermore,  no assurance can be given
that any  agreement  which the Company  enters into will generate any revenue to
the Company.  To the extent that the Company  enters into an  agreement  with an
affiliated party, the terms and conditions of such agreement will be on terms at
least as  favorable  to the  Company  as those  the  Company  could  achieve  in
negotiations  at arm's  length  with an  independent  third  party.  If any such
agreement is with an affiliated  party,  the Company will seek the approval of a
majority of the directors who have no affiliation with the other party.


Employees

        As of July 31,  1997,  the  Company  had 75  employees,  including  four
executive,  six marketing and marketing support, 58 technical and seven clerical
and administrative  employees.  The Company's employees are not represented by a
labor union, and the Company believes that its employee relations are good.


Litigation

        In March 1997, an action was  commenced  against the Company and certain
of  its  officers,   directors  and  stockholders  by  Onecard  Health  Services
Corporation  in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,  County of New York.
The named  defendants  include,  in addition to the  Company,  Messrs.  Lewis S.
Schiller,  chief  executive  officer and a director of the  Company,  Leonard M.
Luttinger,  vice president and a director of the Company,  Thomas L. Evans,  who
was  a  vice  president  of  the  Company,   Consolidated  and  certain  of  its
subsidiaries,  and other  stockholders of the Company and other  individuals who
were or may  have  been  officers  or  directors  of  Onecard  but  who  have no
affiliation with the Company or  Consolidated.  Mr. Luttinger and Mr. Evans were
employees of Onecard prior to the formation of the Company. Mr. Schiller was not
an  employee  or director  of,  consultant  to, or  otherwise  affiliated  with,
Onecard. The complaint makes broad claims respecting alleged misappropriation of
Onecard's trade secrets, corporate assets and corporate opportunities, breach of
fiduciary  relationship,  unfair  competition,  fraud, breach of trust and other
similar  allegations,  apparently arising at the time of, or in connection with,
the  organization  of  the  Company  in  September  1992.  The  complaint  seeks
injunctive relief and damages,  including punitive damages, of $130 million. The
Company believes that the action is without merit, and it will vigorously defend
the  action.  The Company  has filed an answer  denying  all of the  plaintiffs'
allegations  and has asserted  affirmative  defenses.  In addition,  the Company
believes  that  there is a  difference  in the  technology  used in the  Onecard
software  and the  Company's  CarteSmart  software  and in the type of  computer
network on which the  software  operates.  The  Company  has  demanded  that the
plaintiff  particularize  the broad allegations of the complaint and the produce
documents  referred to in the  complaint.  No  assurance  can be given as to the
ultimate  disposition of the action, and an adverse decision may have a material
adverse effect upon the business of the Company.


Property

        The  Company's   executive   offices  and   facilities  are  located  in
approximately 18,000 square feet of space at 146 Nassau Avenue, Islip, New York,
pursuant to a lease which  terminates on February 28, 1999, at a minimum  annual
rental of $250,000.  This lease provides for fixed annual increases ranging from
4% to 5%. The Company  also  leases  approximately  1,800  square feet of office
space in La Jolla,  California pursuant to a lease which terminates on March 31,
1999, at a minimum annual rental of $31,000,  subject to fixed annual  increases
of 4%.  The  Company  occupies,  on a  month-to-month  basis,  an  aggregate  of
approximately 1,500 square feet of office space in Wethersfield,  Connecticut at
a monthly rental of $2,000 and has signed a lease for approximately 1,750 square

Long-Term Incentive Plan

        In July 1993, the Company  adopted,  by action of the board of directors
and stockholders,  the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  The Plan was
amended in October 1993,  April 1994,  October 1994 and February  1996. The Plan
does not have an expiration  date. Set forth below is a summary of the Plan, but
this  summary is  qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Plan, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration  Statement,  of
which this Prospectus is a part.

        The Plan is authorized to grant options or other equity-based incentives
for 511,000 shares of the Common Stock. If shares subject to an option under the
Plan cease to be subject to such option, or if shares awarded under the Plan are
forfeited,  or  otherwise  terminated  without  a  payment  being  made  to  the
participant in the form of stock, such shares will again be available for future
distribution under the Plan.

        Awards under the Plan may be made to key employees,  including  officers
of and consultants to the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates,  but may not
be granted  to any  director  unless  the  director  is also an  employee  of or
consultant to the Company or any subsidiaries or affiliates. The Plan imposes no
limit on the number of officers  and other key  employees  to whom awards may be
made;  however, no person shall be entitled to receive in any fiscal year awards
which would  entitle such person to acquire more than 3% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the date of grant.

        The Plan is to be  administered  by a  committee  of no less than  three
disinterested  directors  to be  appointed  by the board (the  "Committee").  No
member or alternate member of the Committee shall be eligible to receive options
or stock  under  the Plan  (except  as to the  automatic  grant  of  options  to
directors)  or  under  any plan of the  Company  or any of its  affiliates.  The
Committee has broad  discretion in determining the persons to whom stock options
or other  awards  are to be  granted,  the terms and  conditions  of the  award,
including the type of award,  the exercise  price and term and the  restrictions
and forfeiture  conditions.  If no Committee is appointed,  the functions of the
committee shall be performed by the board of directors.  At present no Committee
has been appointed.

        The Committee  will have the  authority to grant the following  types of
awards  under  the  Plan:  incentive  or  non-qualified  stock  options;   stock
appreciation  rights;  restricted stock;  deferred stock;  stock purchase rights
and/or other stock-based  awards.  The Plan is designed to provide the Committee
with broad discretion to grant incentive stock-based rights.

        In  January  1995,  the Board  granted  stock  options  to  purchase  an
aggregate of 252,804 shares of Common Stock at $.232 per share,  and in December
1995, the Board granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 104,952 shares
of Common Stock at $.345 per share.  Such exercise prices were determined by the
Board to be the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The options

become exercisable as to 50% of the shares on the first and second anniversaries
of the date of grant.  In  connection  with  certain of the January  1995 option
grants, the Board canceled previously granted options to purchase 206,250 shares
at an exercise price of $5.33 per share which were granted in 1994.


                                           CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Loan and Equity Transactions

        During the period between the Company's  organization  in September 1992
and  September 30, 1995,  the Company  borrowed  approximately  $2.9 million and
$97,000 from SISC and DLB,  respectively.  These loans bear  interest at 10% per
annum.  In  April  1994,  SISC  purchased  from DLB the  note  representing  the
Company's  obligations to DLB and DLB's Series B Preferred  Stock. At such time,
SISC also purchased  $54,000 note from an unrelated  party.  The largest amounts
owed by the Company at any one time to SISC during 1995 was  approximately  $3.0
million, which was outstanding on September 30, 1995. At September 30, 1995:

               (a) SISC accepted 2,210 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which
have a redemption  price of $1,000 per share,  or an aggregate of  $2,210,000 in
exchange for cancellation of the Company's  indebtedness in the principal amount
of $2.2  million.  The  Series D  Preferred  Stock is not  voting  and there are
limitations on the redemption of such shares.  See "Description of Securities --
Series D Preferred Stock." The Company issued a $750,000 promissory note to SISC
in respect of the balance of its indebtedness to SISC.
The note was paid in August 1996.

               (b) The  Company  issued  1,125,000  shares  of  Common  Stock to
Holdings in  consideration  of the  cancellation by SISC of accrued  interest at
September 30, 1995 of $388,000, reflecting a price of $.345 per share.

        In January 1996, SISC exchanged 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
for  1,125,000  shares  of  Common  Stock.  As a result  of this  exchange,  the
aggregate  redemption  price of the Series D Preferred Stock was reduced to $1.2
million. SISC holds 1,210 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which provides for
an annual  dividends in the  aggregate  amount of $72,600.  Such dividend may be
paid in cash or in shares of Common  Stock.  The Company  issued 5,542 and 7,260
shares of Common Stock in payment of dividends of $72,600 and $36,300 which were
due on October  1, 1996 and April 1, 1997,  respectively.  SISC  transferred  an
aggregate of 1,280 shares of such Common Stock to Mr. Lewis S. Schiller pursuant
to Mr. Schiller's employment agreement with Consolidated.

        During  1994 and  1995,  ACT  lent the  Company  $58,000  and  $109,000,
respectively.  The  outstanding  balance  on  December  31,  1995 and 1994  were
$167,000 and $58,000, respectively, representing the largest amounts owed during
such years.  ACT has lent money to the Company  during 1996.  The largest amount
due ACT was $256,000,  which was paid from the proceeds of the Company's initial
public offering in August 1996. Mr. John F. Phillips, a director of the Company,
is a director of ACT, and ACT is the parent of Old CSM.

        The Company believes that the transactions  described above are fair and
reasonable to the Company and were made on terms that are not less  favorable to
the Company than could have been obtained from non-affiliated  third parties, if
such third parties were available, and it intends that transactions with related
parties will be on an arms-length basis.

        At the time of the  Company's  initial  public  offering in August 1996,
there  were  outstanding  80  shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock,  which had a
redemption  price of $1,200 per share.  Such  shares  were owned by SISC,  which
owned 40  shares,  Mr. E.  Gerald  Kay,  who was at the time a  director  of the
Company, who owned 20 shares, and one non-affiliated person who owned 20 shares.
All of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock were redeemed from the proceeds of
the Company's initial public offering. Pursuant to such redemption, SISC and Mr.
Kay received $48,000 and $24,000, respectively.


Issuance of Warrants

        In  February   1996,  the  Company  issued  an  aggregate  of  3,573,125
Outstanding  Warrants, of which 1,677,500 are exercisable at $2.00 per share and
1,895,625  are  exercisable  at $4.00 per share.  These  warrants were issued in
connection  with services  rendered,  which,  in the case of SISC,  included the
guarantee of certain of the Company's  promissory  notes.  The fair value of the
Common Stock on the date of board approval was $3.20 per share,  and the Company
incurred a  compensation  expense of $2.1 million as a result of the issuance of
Series  B  Warrants  at  $2.00  per  share.  See  Notes  11 and 14 of  Notes  to
Consolidated  Financial Statements.  The Outstanding Warrants expire on December
31, 1999. The Series B Warrants, which, with respect to SISC and SMACS, replaced
the warrants  previously granted at a higher price, were issued in February 1996
to the following persons:

        SISC has  transferred  Series B Warrants to purchase  700,417  shares of
Common Stock to Mr. Lewis S. Schiller (206,250  warrants),  James Conway (25,000
warrants),  E.  Gerald  Kay,  who was,  at the time,  a director  of the Company
(100,000  warrants),  two  officers and one  director of  Consolidated  (156,667
warrants),  SMI  (62,500  warrants)  and  two  other  individuals  who  are  not
affiliated with the Company (150,000  warrants).  Mr. Schiller has an employment
agreement with  Consolidated  pursuant to which he has 10% of  Consolidated's or
SISC's or their  subsidiaries'  interest in equity securities owned by them. The
transfer  of the Series B Warrants  to Mr.  Schiller  was made  pursuant to such
employment  agreement  and for other  services to SISC.  In February  1996,  Mr.
Schiller transferred to DLB 133,500 shares of Common Stock and Series B Warrants
to purchase 106,250 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share in satisfaction of
certain of his obligations to DLB or its stockholder.  DLB and Mr. Schiller have
transferred  15,000 shares and 35,000 shares,  respectively,  of Common Stock to
each of the Schillers' three adult children and one person who is an officer and
director of Consolidated.  Mr. Schiller and DLB disclaim any beneficial interest
in the shares owned by the Schillers' adult children.

        Bridge  Ventures,  Inc.  ("Bridge")  transferred  Series B  Warrants  to
purchase  67,500  shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share and 67,500 shares of
Common  Stock at $5.00 per share to Saggi  Capital  Corp.  ("Saggi"),  and SMACS
transferred Series B Warrants to purchase 18,750 shares of Common Stock at $2.00
per share and 93,750  shares of Common  Stock at $5.00 per share to Saggi.  As a
result of such  transfers,  Saggi held  Outstanding  Warrants to purchase 86,250
shares of Common Stock at $2.00 and 161,250  shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per
share.

        In July 1996, pursuant to a warrant exchange,  (a) the holders of Series
B Warrants  having a $2.00 exercise  price  exchanged one third of such warrants
for Series B Warrants to purchase, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, 150%
of the number of shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise of the Series B
Warrants  that  were  exchanged,  and (b) the  exercise  price  of the  Series B
Warrants  having a $5.00  exercise  price was  reduced  to  $4.00.  Prior to the
warrant exchange,  there were Series B Warrants to purchase  2,516,250 shares of
Common Stock at $2.00 per share and Series B Warrants to purchase 637,500 shares
of  Common  Stock at $5.00  per share  outstanding.  As a result of the  warrant
exchange,  there were Series B Warrants to purchase  1,677,500  shares of Common
Stock at $2.00  per  share and  1,895,625  shares  of Common  Stock at $4.00 per
share.

        The IPO  Registration  Statement  also  includes  the  800,000  Series B
Warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. In August 1996, SISC, Bridge
and Saggi sold Series B Warrants to purchase  750,000 shares,  25,000 shares and
25,000 shares,  respectively,  pursuant to such registration statement, and such
Series B Warrants were exercised in August 1996.


Other Related Party Transactions

        The Company has an agreement with Trinity  pursuant to which the Company
will pay Trinity a monthly fee of $15,000 for a three-year  term  commencing  on
August  1,  1996 for  general  business,  management  and  financial  consulting
services.  Neither Mr. Lewis S. Schiller,  chairman of the board of the Company,
Consolidated,  SISC and Trinity, nor any other employee of Consolidated, SISC or
Trinity receives any compensation from the Company for services rendered by him,
and the fee reflects  compensation  for services  rendered and to be rendered by
Trinity to the Company.  Trinity's business is providing  management and related
services,  including  services  relating to the structure or  restructure  of an
organization,  for companies which are affiliated  with  Consolidated as well as
non-affiliated entities.

        Pursuant  to  an   employment   agreement   between  Mr.   Schiller  and
Consolidated, Mr. Schiller has the right to 10% of SISC's equity position in its
subsidiaries,  including the Company,  for 110% of SISC's cost. Pursuant to this
agreement,  Mr.  Schiller  acquired from SISC an aggregate of 460,509  shares of
Common  Stock.  Mr.  Schiller's  employment  agreement  with  Consolidated  also
provides  that,  in the event of a merger or other  sale by the  Company  of its
business,  he is entitled to receive 20% of the gross profit,  as defined,  from
any sale. Ms. Grazyna B. Wnuk, secretary and a director of Consolidated,  has an
employment agreement with Consolidated which provides that, in the event of such
a  transaction,  she is entitled to 1% of such gross profit.  To the extent that
any  such  payments  are  made  by  the  Company,  the  amount  payable  to  the
stockholders will be reduced. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has
not conducted any formal or informal negotiations or discussions with respect to
any such transaction.

        In January 1996, the Company issued 11,250 shares of Common Stock to Mr.
Thomas L.  Evans,  who was then vice  president  of the  Company,  for  services
rendered by him.  The fair value of such shares was treated as  compensation  to
Mr. Evans in 1995.

        In January  1996,  Mr.  Storm R. Morgan was elected as a director of the
Company.  At the time of his election,  he was a consultant to the Company.  The
Company  does  not pay  compensation  to Mr.  Morgan.  The  Company  had an oral
agreement  with SMI, of which Mr. Morgan is sole  stockholder,  an officer and a
director, pursuant to which the Company pays SMI an aggregate of $619,700 during
1996.  Such  compensation  related to the services  performed by Mr. Morgan on a
part time basis and by up to six other  individuals who performed  services at a
management  level or other key  position  for the Company on a full-time  basis.
Effective in February 1997, the Company has an oral agreement  pursuant to which
it pays SMI $9,000  per month,  for which SMI will  provide to the  Company  the
services of Mr.  Morgan on an  as-needed  basis.  Mr.  Morgan is not required to
devote any minimum  amount of time to the business of the Company.  In addition,
during 1996, the Company paid SMI a fee of $250,000 for services relating to the
Company's  agreement with IBN. SMI has experience in the development,  marketing
and sales of advanced electronic  financial  transaction  processing systems for
point of sale applications, including automated teller machines.

        Mr.  Morgan  is also  senior  vice  president  of,  and  holds an equity
interest  in,  Oasis.  The Company has a joint  marketing  agreement  with Oasis
pursuant to which each  company  markets the  products of the other for which it
receives a commission.  The Company and Oasis and its affiliates  formed a joint
venture  to  develop  the CCAC  Software.  The joint  venture  is engaged in the
development of  enhancements to the CCAC Software to enable it to interface with
Oasis' IST/Share as well as the Company's own CarteSmart  System  software.  The
cost of the  development of the CCAC Software is shared equally by Oasis and the
Company. Each party has the right to market the CCAC Software,  and the proceeds
from any sales,  after deducting a sales  commission  payable to the party which
makes the sale and any operating expenses,  is shared equally by the Company and
Oasis.  The purchase price of the CCAC Software was $650,000,  of which $325,000
was paid by each of the Company and Oasis.

        In connection with the Company's accounts receivable financing,  Messrs.
Schiller and Luttinger  guaranteed  the Company's  obligations to the lender and
Messrs.  Edward D. Bright and Anthony F.  Grisanti,  vice  president  of CSM and
secretary and chief financial officer of the Company, respectively, issued their
guaranty  which is limited to the losses or  liability  resulting  from  certain
irregularities by the Company in the submission of invoices for advances and the
failure to pay over the proceeds from accounts to the lender.  The Company knows
of no such irregularities. The advances under this facility was $703,000 at June
30,  1997.  Effective  August 1, 1997,  the maximum  borrowings,  subject to the
borrowing formula, was increased from $750,000 to $1,200,000,  the interest rate
was reduced and the guarantees of Messrs.  Luttinger and Bright were eliminated.
See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

        As of June 30, 1996, SISC transferred 25,000 shares and 75,000 shares of
Common Stock to Messrs. James L. Conway,  president of the Company, and Storm R.
Morgan,  a director of the Company.  Such shares were  transferred in respect of
services  rendered by such individuals to affiliates of Consolidated  other than
the Company.

        The  Company  has   performed   consulting   services   for  certain  of
Consolidated's   affiliated  companies.  Such  services,  which  have  not  been
substantial and consist of technical support,  programming and systems analysis,
are rendered on an arms-length basis.

        It is the Company's policy that all future transactions with affiliates
are to be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated
third party and must be approved by a majority of the directors,  including a 
majority of disinterested idrectors.

                                         SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

Sales of Securities by the Underwriter

Underwriter's Options

        In connection with Company's initial public offering, the Company issued
Underwriter's  Options to purchase from the Company,  for $11.60 per Unit, up to
56,250  Units to the  Underwriter.  Each Unit  consists  of two shares of Common
Stock and one Warrant. The Underwriter's Options are exercisable for a four-year
period commencing  August 13, 1997. In the event that the Underwriter's  Options
are exercised  after the redemption (but before the expiration) of the Warrants,
the Warrants underlying the Underwriter's Options are immediately  redeemable by
the Company.  If the Warrants expire prior to the exercise of the  Underwriter's
Options, upon exercise of the Underwriter's  Options, the Company will issue two
shares of  Common  Stock  and no  Warrants.  If any  Underwriter's  Options  are
transferred,  such Underwriter's  Options must be immediately  exercised and, if
not  so  exercised,   will   terminate.   The   Underwriter's   Options  contain
anti-dilution  provisions  providing for adjustment under certain  circumstances
similar to those  applicable to the Warrants.  The holders of the  Underwriter's
Options have no voting,  dividend or other rights as stockholders of the Company
with respect to securities underlying the Underwriter's Options.

        The Company has agreed during the term of the Underwriter's  Options and
for  two  years  thereafter  to  give  advance  notice  to  the  holders  of the
Underwriter's  Options  or  underlying  securities  of its  intention  to file a
registration  statement,  and, in such case,  the  holders of the  Underwriter's
Options and underlying securities shall have the right to require the Company to
include  the  underlying  securities  in  such  registration  statement  at  the
Company's expense.  At the demand of the holders of a majority of holders of the
Underwriter's Options and underlying Common Stock, including Common Stock issued
or  issuable  upon  exercise  of the  Warrants  issuable  upon  exercise  of the
Underwriter's Options, during the term of the Underwriter's Options, the Company
will also be required to file one such  registration  statement at the Company's
expense.  In addition,  the Company has agreed to cooperate  with the holders of
the Underwriter's Options in filing a registration at the expense of the holders
of the Underwriter's Options or underlying securities.

        In the event that the Underwriter's  Option and the underlying  Warrants
are  exercised,  the  holders  of  the  Underwriter's  Options  may  sell  their
securities directly to purchasers,  through  broker-dealers acting as agents for
such holders,  including the Underwriter,  or to broker-dealers who may purchase
securities as principals and thereafter sell the securities from time to time in
the  over-the-counter  market,  in negotiated  transactions  or otherwise.  Such
broker-dealers,  if any,  may  receive  compensation  in the form of  discounts,
concessions or commissions from the holders of the Underwriter's  Options and/or
the purchasers  from whom such  broker-dealer  may act as agents or to whom they
may sell as  principals  or  otherwise  (which  compensation  as to a particular
broker-dealer  may exceed  customary  commissions).  To the extent that any such
securities are acquired by the Underwriter for its own account, it may sell such
securities  as principal to  customers of such firm or to  market-makers  in the
securities.

Securities Purchased from Security Holders

        Prior to the Company's  initial public  offering,  the Company  borrowed
$500,000 from four accredited investors,  to whom it issued its promissory notes
due January 31, 1997 or earlier upon completion of the Company's  initial public
offering.  The notes were paid in August 1996,  upon completion of the Company's
initial public offering.  At such time, the Company issued to the noteholders an
aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock and 250,000 Warrants. Such shares of
Common Stock and Warrants were registered in the registration statement relating
to the  Company's  initial  public  offering.  Set  forth  below is  information

        The  Underwriter  has purchased  the 300,000  shares of Common Stock and
150,000 Warrants from 360 Central  Corporation,  and it may purchase  additional
shares of Common Stock and/or  Warrants  from the other  persons  named above in
negotiated transactions.  The Underwriter has placed the securities it purchased
and will place any additional  securities it purchases in an investment account.
The  Underwriter  may,  from time to time,  sell such  securities  either to its
customers  or others on  negotiated  terms and/or sell such  securities  in open
market  transactions.  To the extent that the  Underwriter is acting as a market
maker in the  Common  Stock or  Warrants,  it may sell such  securities  in such
capacity.


Sales by Related Parties

        Mr. James L. Conway,  president  and a director of the Company,  and Mr.
Storm Morgan,  a director of the Company,  may sell pursuant to this Prospectus,
Series B Warrants to purchase  43,100  shares and 31,100 shares of Common Stock,
respectively,  or the shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of such
Series B Warrants commencing August 13, 1998, or earlier with the consent of the
Underwriter. In addition, Messrs. Conway and Morgan own 25,000 shares and 44,500
shares of Common Stock,  respectively,  which they may sell pursuant to Rule 144
of the  Commission  under the  Securities  Act  commencing  August 13, 1998,  or
earlier with the consent of the Underwriter.

        The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share,  expire
on  December  31, 1999 and are not  redeemable.  Prior to August 13,  1998,  the
shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise of the Series B Warrants may not
be sold without the consent of the  Underwriter.  There is no public market for,
and there is not  expected to be any public  market for,  the Series B Warrants.
The Series B Warrants provide that, in the event that they are sold or otherwise
transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, they expire 90 days
from the date of transfer. As a result, any purchaser of Series B Warrants must,
within a short period,  either  exercise the Series B Warrants or permit them to
expire unexercised.

        Set forth  below is  information  as to the stock  ownership  of Messrs.
Conway and Morgan as of August 25, 1997 and as adjusted for the shares of Common
Stock which may be sold by them pursuant to this  Prospectus or pursuant to Rule
144, commencing August 13, 1998, or earlier with the consent of the Underwriter.
The percentages as adjusted do not give any effect to any shares of Common Stock
which may be issued by the Company upon exercise of the Warrants.

        Warrants  being sold pursuant to this  Prospectus  (43,100 shares by Mr.

        sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Commission (25,000 shares by Mr. Conway
        and 44,500 shares by Mr. Morgan). Messrs. Conway and Morgan have advised
        the Company  that they  anticipate  that they will sell the shares which
        may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 prior to selling  shares  issuable upon
        exercise of the Series B Warrants.

5       If all of the  Outstanding  Warrants were  exercised  during the Special
        Exercise  Period,  the as adjusted  percentages  for Messrs.  Conway and

Common Stock by Messrs. Conway or Morgan other than the $2.00 per share exercise
price of the  Series B  Warrants  to the extent  that any of such  warrants  are
exercised.

        Messrs. Conway and Morgan have advised the Company that any transfer of 
the Series B Warrants will be either a sale in transactions at negotiated prices
or by gift.  They have advised the Company with respect to the underlying shares
of Common Stock,

that such sale may be  effected  from time to time in  transactions  (which  may
include  block  transactions)  by or for their  accounts on The Nasdaq  SmallCap
Market or in negotiated  transactions,  a combination of such methods of sale or
otherwise.  Sales may be made at fixed  prices  which may be changed,  at market
prices or in negotiated  transactions,  a combination of such methods of sale or
otherwise, and securities may be transferred by gift.

        Messrs.  Conway and Morgan may effect such transactions by selling their
securities directly to purchasers, through broker-dealers, which may include the
Underwriter, acting as their agents or to broker-dealers,  which may include the
Underwriter,  who may purchase  shares as  principals  and  thereafter  sell the
securities  from  time to time on The  Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market,  in  negotiated
transactions or otherwise. Such broker-dealers, if any, may receive compensation
in the form of  discounts,  concessions  or  commissions  from them  and/or  the
purchasers  from whom such  broker-dealer  may act as agents or to whom they may
sell  as  principals  or  otherwise  (which  compensation  as  to  a  particular
broker-dealer  may exceed  customary  commissions).  Neither Mr.  Conway nor Mr.
Morgan has any understanding or agreement with any broker-dealer with respect to
any sale of the securities which may be sold by them.


Restrictions on Market Making Activities by the Underwriter

        Under  applicable  rules and  regulations  under the  Exchange  Act, any
person engaged in the  distribution of the  Underwriter's  Options or underlying
securities  or other  securities  of the  issuer,  including a  distribution  of
securities  purchased  from  stockholders,  may  not  simultaneously  engage  in
market-making  activities  with respect to any  securities of the Company during
the  applicable  "cooling-off"  period (at least two and possibly  nine business
days) prior to the commencement of such distribution.  Accordingly, in the event
the Underwriter is engaged in a distribution of such securities,  it will not be
able to make a market in the  Company's  Common  Stock or  Warrants  during  the
applicable  restrictive  period.  In addition,  the holders of the Underwriter's
Options and other selling security holders, including Messrs. Conway and Morgan,
will be subject to the  applicable  provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations  thereunder,  including without  limitation  Regulation M, which
provisions  may limit the  timing  of the  purchases  and sales of shares of the
Company's securities by such holders.

        The holders of the  Underwriter's  Options and  broker-dealers,  if any,
acting in connection  with such sales,  and the  Underwriter,  in selling shares
securities  purchased from  stockholders,  might be deemed to be  "underwriters"
within the meaning of Section  2(11) of the  Securities  Act and any  commission
received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities  might be deemed
to be underwriting discount and commissions under the Securities Act.


                                         DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Capital Stock

        The Company is authorized to issue 3,000,000  shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share, and 15,000,000  shares of Common Stock, par value $.01
per share.  Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held
of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Holders of Common
Stock are entitled to share in such dividends as the Board of Directors,  in its
discretion,   may  declare  from  funds  legally  available.  In  the  event  of
liquidation,  each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate  ratably
in the assets  remaining  after  payment  of  liabilities.  There are  presently
6,811,005  shares of Common  Stock  outstanding,  and,  if all of the  1,793,750
shares of Common  Stock are issued  upon  exercise  of the  Warrants  during the
Special  Exercise  Period,  there  will be  8,604,755  shares  of  Common  Stock
outstanding.

        Stockholders  have no  preemptive  or other rights to  subscribe  for or
purchase  additional  shares of any class of stock or of any other securities of
the Company,  and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with regard
to the Common  Stock.  All  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock are,  and those
issuable  pursuant to this  Prospectus  or upon exercise of the Warrants will be
when issued as provided in this  Prospectus,  validly  issued,  fully paid,  and
nonassessable. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

        The Company's  Board of Directors is  authorized to issue,  from time to
time and without further stockholder action, up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more  distinct  series.  The Board of Directors is authorized to
fix the following rights and preferences, among others, for each series: (i) the
rate of dividends and whether such dividends shall be cumulative; (ii) the price
at and the terms and  conditions  on which  shares  may be  redeemed;  (iii) the
amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation;
(iv)  whether or not a sinking  fund shall be  provided  for the  redemption  or
purchase  of  shares;  (v) the  terms  and  conditions  on which  shares  may be
converted;  and (vi)  whether,  and in what  proportion  to any other  series or
class,  a series shall have voting  rights other than  required by law,  and, if
voting rights are granted,  the number of voting rights per share. Except as set
forth in this Prospectus, the Company has no plans, agreements or understandings
with respect to the  designation  of any series or the issuance of any shares of
preferred stock.

        There is one series of Preferred Stock which is authorized -- the Series
D Preferred Stock.  Set forth below is information  concerning each the Series D
Preferred Stock.

Series D Preferred Stock

        The Series D Preferred  Stock consists of a maximum of 3,000 shares,  of
which 1,120 shares are issued and  outstanding and owned by SISC. The holders of
the  Series D  Preferred  Stock are  entitled  to  receive,  out of funds of the
Company legally available for payment, quarterly dividends at the annual rate of
$60 per share.  Dividends are  cumulative  and accrue from the date of issuance,
which was October 1, 1995.  Dividends are payable  semiannually on the first day
of April and October,  with the first  dividend  payment date being the first of
such dates to occur after the Company  receives the  proceeds of this  Offering.
The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock have no voting rights, other than as
required by applicable law.

        In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the  Company,  after  payment has been made on any security of the
Company, if any, which ranks senior to the Series D Preferred Stock,  holders of
shares of Series D Preferred  Stock will be entitled to receive  from the assets
of the Company $1.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid  dividends to the payment
date,  before any payment or distribution is made to holders of shares of Common
Stock or any other series or class of stock hereafter  issued which ranks junior
as to liquidation rights to the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred
Stock is on a parity with the Series A and B Preferred Stock as to dividends and
upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

        The Series D Preferred  Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company
for $1,000 per share commencing  October 1, 1998,  except that, prior to October
1, 1998,  the Company may redeem shares of Series D Preferred  Stock from 50% of
the  net  proceeds  from  the  sale by the  Company  of its  equity  securities,
including  the  issuance of  convertible  securities  and shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of warrants or options. However, the Company has agreed not
to apply any proceeds from the exercise of Warrants during the Special  Exercise
Period to redeem the Series D Preferred  Stock.  The Company is not  required to
provide for the redemption of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock through the
operation of a sinking fund.  Any action to redeem the Series D Preferred  Stock
shall be taken by the Board of Directors,  with any person who is a holder or an
officer,  director or  principal  stockholder  of a holder of Series D Preferred
Stock not  participating  in the vote. The Series D Preferred  Stock may also be
transferred  to the  Company to exercise  Series B Warrants,  with each share of
Series D Preferred Stock valued at $1,000 for such purpose.

        The holder of each  Warrant is  entitled,  upon  payment of the exercise
price of $4.50  per  share,  to  purchase  one  share of  Common  Stock.  Unless
previously  redeemed,  the Warrants are  exercisable  during the two-year period
commencing  one year from the date of this  Prospectus.  Holders of the Warrants
will only be able to exercise the Warrants if (a) a current prospectus under the
Securities  Act relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants is then in effect,  and (b) such  securities are qualified for sale
or exemption  from  qualification  under the applicable  securities  laws of the
states in which the various holders of Warrants reside.

        During  the  Special  Exercise  Period,  which  is  the  90  day  period
commencing on the date of this Prospectus and ending at 5:30 P.M., New York City
time, on , 1997, the Company will amend the terms of the Warrants, including any
Warrants  issued  pursuant to the  Underwriter's  Options.  Under these  amended
terms, if any Warrants are exercised  during the Special  Exercise  Period,  the
holders may purchase two shares of Common Stock for $3.00 , resulting in an 
exercise price of $1.50 per share.  The Company has the right, in its  
discretion,  to extend the Special  Exercise  Period on one or more  occasions 
for up to 30 days in the aggregate.  Upon the  expiration of the Special  
Exercise  Period,  the exercise price and terms will revert to their original 
terms.

        The  Warrants  may be exercised  upon  surrender  of the  certificate(s)
therefor on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the  expiration  date of
the Warrants or, if the Warrants are called for redemption, the day prior to the
redemption date (as explained above) at the offices of American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, the Company's warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"),  with the form
of "Election to Purchase" on the reverse side of the  certificate(s)  filled out
and executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price for
the number of Warrants being exercised.

        The Warrants contain provisions that protect the holders thereof against
dilution by adjustment of the exercise  price in certain  events,  such as stock
dividends,  stock splits,  mergers,  sale of substantially  all of the Company's
assets, and for other extraordinary events.

        The Company is not required to issue fractional  shares of Common Stock,
and in lieu thereof will make a cash payment based upon the current market value
of such  fractional  shares.  The holder of the  Warrants  will not  possess any
rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until the holder exercises the
Warrants.

        The Company may, with the consent of the Underwriter,  call the Warrants
for redemption,  on not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' written notice, at a
price of $.05 per Warrant, if the closing price per share of the Common Stock is
at least $9.00, subject to

adjustment,  for at least 20 consecutive  trading days ending within ten days of
the date on which the  Warrants are called for  redemption.  Holders of Warrants
will  automatically  forfeit their rights to purchase the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants unless the Warrants are exercised before
the close of business on the business day immediately  prior to the date set for
redemption.  All of  the  outstanding  Warrants  must  be  redeemed  if any  are
redeemed.  A notice of  redemption  shall be  mailed  to each of the  registered
holders of the Warrants by first class,  postage  prepaid,  within five business
days (or such longer  period to which the  Underwriter  may  consent)  after the
Warrants are called for  redemption,  but no earlier than the sixtieth nor later
than the  thirtieth  day  before the date  fixed for  redemption.  The notice of
redemption  shall specify the redemption  price,  the date fixed for redemption,
the place where the Warrant  certificates  shall be delivered and the redemption
price to be paid, and that the right to exercise the Warrants shall terminate at
5:00 p.m.  (New York City time) on the business day  immediately  preceding  the
date fixed for redemption. The Warrants can only be redeemed if, on the date the
Warrants are called for redemption, there is an effective registration statement
covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.


Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants

        As of the date of this  Prospectus,  there  were  Series B  Warrants  to
purchase  877,500 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share and 1,895,625 shares
of Common Stock at $4.00 per share. See "Certain  Transactions"  for information
with respect to the issuance of such Series B Warrants.

        The Series B Warrants may be  exercised  until  December  31, 1999.  The
holders of the Series B Warrants have demand and piggyback  registration  rights
with respect to stock issuable upon issuance of the Series B Warrants commencing
August 13, 1998 or earlier with the consent of the  Underwriter and the managing
underwriter of the subsequent  offering.  The Company has no right to redeem the
Series B  Warrants.  In the event  that the Series B  Warrants  are  transferred
pursuant  to  an  effective  registration  statement,   the  Series  B  Warrants
automatically  terminate 90 days after the date of transfer,  provided  that the
registration statement remains current and effective during such period. In such
event,  the transferee must either exercise the Series B Warrant or permit it to
expire unexercised.

        The  Series B Warrants  contain  provisions  that  protect  the  holders
thereof against  dilution by adjustment of the exercise price in certain events,
such as stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, sale of substantially all of the
Company's assets, and for other extraordinary events.

        The holders of the Series B Warrants have been given the  opportunity to
profit from a rise in the market for the shares of the Company's Common Stock at
a  nominal  cost per  share,  with a  resulting  dilution  in the  interests  of
stockholders.  The holders of the Series B Warrants  can be expected to exercise
them at a time when the  Company  would,  in all  likelihood,  be able to obtain
equity capital, if then needed, by a new equity offering on terms more favorable
than those  provided by the Series B Warrants.  Such facts may adversely  affect
the terms on which the Company could obtain additional financing.


Dividend Policy

        Except for the  obligation of the Company to pay dividends  with respect
to the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company  presently intends to retain future
earnings,  if any,  in order  to  provide  funds  for use in the  operation  and
expansion  of its  business  and  accordingly  does not  anticipate  paying cash
dividends on its Common Stock in the  foreseeable  future.  See  "Description of
Securities" for  information  concerning  dividends  payable with respect to the
Series D Preferred Stock.


Shares Eligible for Future Sale

        All of the presently issued and outstanding  shares of Common Stock were
either   registered   pursuant  to  Securities  Act  or  issued  as  "restricted
securities"  pursuant to an exemption from registration and may be sold pursuant
to Rule 144 of the Commission  under the Securities  Act. In connection with the
Company's  initial  public  offering,  the holders of  substantially  all of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock which had been issued prior to such offering,
have agreed not to sell any of their shares  (other than shares  acquired in the
public  market) until August 13, 1998,  without the consent of the  Underwriter.
SISC and the Company's  officers,  directors and key employees have agreed that,
if the Company  receives at least  $1,000,000 from the exercise of the Warrants,
they will not sell any of their shares (other than shares acquired in the public
market) until August 13, 1999,  without the consent of the  Underwriter,  except
that, commencing August 13, 1998, certain officers,  directors and key employees
may sell 639,300 shares of Common Stock.

                                     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Netsmart Technologies, Inc.
  New York, New York


               We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. [formerly CSMC Corporation] and its subsidiary as of
December  31,  1996  and  1995,  and  the  related   statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

               We conducted our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

               In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Netsmart Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended  December  31,  1996,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

[1] Financial Statement Presentation, Organization and Nature of Operations

The  financial  statements  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are  presented on a
consolidated  basis and include  Netsmart  Technologies,  Inc.  [formerly  "CSMC
Corporation" and "Carte Medical Corporation"] ["Netsmart"], and its wholly-owned
subsidiary,  Creative Socio-Medics Corp. ["CSM"] [collectively,  the "Company"].
All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements as of December 31, 1994, which include Netsmart and CSM
commencing  July 1, 1994,  are  presented on a combined  basis  because they are
under  common  control.   All   intercompany   transactions  are  eliminated  in
combination.  The acquisition by Carte Medical Holdings, Inc. ["Holdings"],  the
principal  stockholder  of  Netsmart,  of CSM  occurred  on June 16,  1994.  The
operations of CSM from that date to June 30, 1994 were not  substantial  and are
not included in the combined  financial  statements as of December 31, 1994. The
financial statements prior to July 1, 1994 reflect the results of operations and
financial position of Netsmart.

Netsmart was  incorporated on September 9, 1992 to engage in the development and
marketing  of an  integrated  proprietary  software  system  designed  to run on
multiple  systems in a distributed  network  environment.  Netsmart's  marketing
effort  through  December  31,  1996 was  primarily  directed  at  managed  care
organizations  and  methadone  clinics  and  other  substance  abuse  facilities
throughout the United States. Netsmart's software operates on computer networks,
including networks based on personal  computers,  and so-called "smart cards." A
smart card is a plastic card the size of a standard  credit card which  combines
data storage  capacity and access to information  along with computing  capacity
within a single embedded microprocessor chip contained in the card.

Netsmart is controlled by Consolidated Technology Group Ltd. ["Consolidated"], a
public company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Holdings.  Prior to 
June 16, 1994, Netsmart's principal stockholder was SIS Capital Corp. ["SISC"], 
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated.  Netsmart's chairman of the board is 
the chief executive officer of Consolidated.

In April 1994, Netsmart entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization 
[the "Purchase Agreement"] among Consolidated, Netsmart, CSM Acquisition Corp. 
["Acquisition Corp."], a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated, Creative 
Socio-Medics ["Old CSM"], and Advanced Computer Techniques, Inc. ["ACT"], Old 
CSM's parent.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in June 1994, Acquisition Corp. acquired the
assets and  assumed  liabilities  of Old CSM in exchange  for 800,000  shares of
Consolidated's  common  stock and  $500,000  cash which was advanced by Netsmart
from a loan from SISC. The following  summarizes the purchase price allocated to
acquired assets at fair value:

[1] Financial Statement Presentation, Organization and Nature of Operations 
[Continued]

The value of  Consolidated  stock was calculated  based on the 800,000 shares of
common stock given per the acquisition agreement at the fair value of $3.375 per
share.  The fair value was  determined  based on the  average  trading  price of
Consolidated  common stock for a period before and after the  acquisition  date.
The $2,700,000 is recorded as additional  paid-in capital since such amount will
not be reimbursed.

In June 1994, SISC formed a wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Holdings, and transferred
its stock in Netsmart and Acquisition Corp. to Holdings.  On September 30, 1995,
the  stock  of  Acquisition  Corp.,  whose  name had been  changed  to  Creative
Socio-Medics  Corp. in June 1994, was  transferred  to the Company.  At the same
time,  the Company  issued  825,000  shares of its common stock to Holdings,  of
which  750,000  shares  were  issued  in  connection  with the  transfer  of the
Acquisition  Corp.  stock and 75,000  shares  were  issued in respect of certain
indebtedness guaranteed by Consolidated.

At the time of the  execution of the  Purchase  Agreement,  SISC  granted  three
officers of Old CSM, who became officers of the Company,  options to purchase an
aggregate of 151,920 shares of common stock at $.232 per share. The value of the
options  is  based  on a fair  value  of  approximately  $.89  per  share of the
Company's  common  stock less the  exercise  price of $.232 per share.  The fair
value was determined based on the financial condition of the Company at the time
the options were granted.  The shares subject to option are  outstanding  shares
which were owned by SISC and transferred to Holdings subject to the options. The
Company has granted to these individuals  certain piggy back registration rights
with  respect  to the  shares of common  stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of the
options. The value of these options is approximately  $100,000 and is treated as
compensation  by  the  Company.  At the  closing  of the  purchase  of Old  CSM,
Consolidated transferred to such three officers an aggregate of 40,000 shares of
Consolidated  common stock,  which were valued at  approximately  $136,000.  The
value of such shares is treated as  compensation  by the  Company.  The value of
Consolidated  stock was determined on a consistent basis with those shares given
in the  acquisition.  The  amounts of $100,000  and  $136,000  were  credited to
additional paid-in capital.

The following pro forma  unaudited  results  assumes the  acquisition of CSM had
occurred at the beginning of 1994:

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid  instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash  equivalents.  Cash
equivalents totaled approximately $1,000,000 at December 31, 1996.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

Concentration  of Credit Risk - The Company  extends  credit to customers  which
results in accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities.  The
Company does not require  collateral from its customers.  The Company  routinely
assesses  the  financial  strength  of its  customers  and  based  upon  factors
surrounding  the  credit  risk  of the  customers  believes  that  its  accounts
receivable  credit  risk  exposure is limited.  Such  estimate of the  financial
strength of such customers may be subject to change in the near term.

The  Company's  health  information  systems are  marketed to  specialized  care
facilities,  many of which are  operated  by  government  entities  and  include
entitlement  programs.  During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
approximately  31%, 54% and 49% of the Company's  revenues were  generated  from
contracts with government agencies.

During the year ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995,  one customer  accounted  for
approximately  $1,879,000 and $1,400,000 or 22% and 19% respectively of revenue.
Accounts  receivable of  approximately  $473,000 and $336,000 were due from this
customer at December 31, 1996 and 1995. No one customer  accounted for more than
10% of revenues in 1994.

The  Company  places  its cash and cash  equivalents  with high  credit  quality
financial  institutions.  The  amount on  deposit  in any one  institution  that
exceeds  federally  insured  limits is subject to credit  risk.  At December 31,
1996, cash and cash  equivalent  balances of $1,000,000 were held at a financial
institution  in excess of  federally  insured  limits.  The Company  believes no
significant  concentration  of credit  risk  exists  with  respect to these cash
equivalents.

Revenue  Recognition - The Company  anticipates  that it will recognize  revenue
principally  from  the  licensing  of its  software,  and  from  consulting  and
maintenance  services  rendered in connection  with such  licensing  activities.
Revenue from licensing will be recognized under the terms of the licenses, which
are expected to provide for a royalty, which may be payable annually, monthly or
on some other basis,  based on the number of persons using smart cards  pursuant
to the license agreement. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are
rendered.  No revenue is recognized prior to obtaining a binding commitment from
the customer.

Revenues  from fixed price  software  development  contracts  and revenue  under
license  agreements  which  require  significant  modification  of the  software
package  to the  customer's  specifications,  are  recognized  on the  estimated
percentage-of-completion  method.  Using the  units-of-work  performed method to
measure progress towards completion, revisions in cost estimates and recognition
of losses on these contracts are reflected in the accounting period in which the
facts become known.  Contract  terms provide for billing  schedules  that differ
from revenue  recognition and give rise to costs and estimated profits in excess
of  billings,  and  billings  in excess of costs and  estimated  profits.  It is
reasonably  possible that the amount of costs and estimated profits in excess of
billing and billings in excess of costs and estimated  profits may be subject to
change in the near  term.  Revenue  from  software  package  license  agreements
without  significant  vendor  obligations  is  recognized  upon  delivery of the
software.  Information processing revenues are recognized in the period in which
the  service  is  provided.  Maintenance  contract  revenue is  recognized  on a
straight-line  basis  over  the  life  of  the  respective  contract.   Software
development  revenues  from  time-and-materials   contracts  are  recognized  as
services are performed.

Deferred revenue represents revenue billed and collected but not yet earned.

The cost of  maintenance  revenue,  which consists  solely of staff payroll,  is
expensed as incurred.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

Direct Costs - Direct costs generally represent labor costs related to licensing
and consulting agreements.

Property and  Equipment and  Depreciation  - Property and equipment is stated at
cost less  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation of property and equipment is
computed by the  straight-line  method at rates adequate to allocate the cost of
applicable  assets over their expected  useful lives.  Amortization of leasehold
improvements  is computed  using the  shorter of the lease term or the  expected
useful life of these assets.

Estimated useful lives range from 2 to 10 years as follows:

Equipment                                            2-5 Years
Furniture and Fixtures                               5-7 Years
Leasehold Improvements                              8-10 Years

Capitalized  Software  Development  Costs - Capitalization  of computer software
development  costs begins upon the  establishment of technological  feasibility.
Technological  feasibility  for the  Company's  computer  software  products  is
generally  based upon  achievement  of a detail program design free of high risk
development  issues.  The  establishment  of  technological  feasibility and the
ongoing   assessment  of   recoverability   of  capitalized   computer  software
development costs requires considerable  judgement by management with respect to
certain  external  factors,   including,   but  not  limited  to,  technological
feasibility,  anticipated  future gross  revenues,  estimated  economic life and
changes in software and hardware technology.

Amortization of capitalized  computer software  development costs commences when
the  related  products  become  available  for  general  release  to  customers.
Amortization  is to be  provided  on a product  by  product  basis.  The  annual
amortization  shall be the  greater of the amount  computed  using (a) the ratio
that  current  gross  revenues  for a product  bear to the total of current  and
anticipated  future gross  revenues  for that  product or (b) the  straight-line
method over the remaining  estimated  economic life of the product including the
period being reported on.

During 1996, the Company assigned personnel to develop SmartCard products.  As a
result,  the applicable  portion of cost of coding and testing subsequent to the
establishment  of  technological  feasibility were capitalized as software costs
with respect to the work on the SmartCard  product.  As a result of such product
development the Company incurred  $556,800 in software costs.  Software costs of
$278,000  prior to  technological  feasibility,  were  recorded as research  and
development  expenses.  Amortization,  using the straight-line  method over five
years of capitalized software development costs amounted to $27,880 for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and has been included in cost of revenues.

In 1995,  due to a change from a DOS based  operating  system to a Windows based
operating  system,  management  determined  that the estimated  economic life of
previously developed computer software had expired.  This has been accounted for
as a change in  accounting  estimate and as a result  amortization  increased by
$210,000 in 1995.  Amortization  of capitalized  computer  software  development
costs  amounted  to  $419,000  and  $221,000  at  December  31,  1995 and  1994,
respectively. Amortization expense has been included in cost of revenues for all
periods.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

Customer  Lists -  Customer  lists  represent  a listing of  customers  obtained
through the  acquisition  of CSM to which the  Company can market its  products.
Customer lists are being amortized on the straight-line method.

In 1995, the amortization  period of customer lists was changed from 20 years to
12  years.  The  change  in the  period  of  amortization  reflects  changes  in
technology which became important in the health care industry  subsequent to the
acquisition of CSM in June 1994. The development of  Window-based  applications,
particularly  Windows  95,  which  had not  been  developed  at the  time of the
acquisition,  together with the possibility of other changes in the software and
communications industry, represent developments that the Company feels require a
change  in the  amortization  period  to  twelve  years.  Such  change  has been
accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.  The effect of this change was
to increase amortization by $120,000 in 1995.

On January 1, 1996,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards ["SFAS"] No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to Be  Disposed  Of".  SFAS  No.  121  established
accounting  standards  for the  impairment  of  long-lived  assets  and  certain
identifiable  intangibles,  and goodwill  related to those assets to be held and
used,  and for  long-lived  assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles  to be
disposed  of.   Management  has  determined  that  expected  future  cash  flows
[undiscounted  and without  interest  charges]  exceed the carrying value of the
intangibles at December 31, 1996 and believes that no impairment of these assets
has occurred.  It is at least reasonably possible that management's  estimate of
expected  future  cash flows may change in the near term.  This may result in an
accelerated amortization method or write-off of the customer lists.
Customer lists at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

                                                         December 31,
                                                    1 9 9 6        1 9 9 5

Customer Lists                                    $  3,850,814  $  3,851,000
Less: Accumulated Amortization                         722,000       409,000
                                                  ------------  ------------

  Net                                             $  3,128,814  $  3,442,000
  ---                                             ============  ============

Cost Associated With Public Offerings - In 1996, the Company  completed a public
offering of its securities  [See Note 10]. Costs of $1,370,000  associated  with
the offering were offset against total gross  proceeds of  $5,175,000.  In early
1995, the Company withdrew a registration statement following the termination of
a previous public  offering.  Costs of $460,000,  associated with that offering,
were expensed, and included in financing costs, in 1995.

Stock Options and Similar  Equity  Instruments - On January 1, 1996, the Company
adopted  the  disclosure  requirements  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards ["SFAS"] No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", for stock
options  and  similar  equity  instruments  [collectively,"Options"]  issued  to
employees, however, the Company will continue to apply the intrinsic value based
method of accounting  for options  issued to employees  prescribed by Accounting
Principles  Board  ["APB"]  Opinion  No.  25,  "Accounting  for Stock  Issued to
Employees"  rather than the fair value based method of accounting  prescribed by
SFAS No.  123.  SFAS No.  123 also  applies to  transactions  in which an entity
issues its equity  instruments to acquire goods or services from  non-employees.
Those  transactions  must be  accounted  for  based  on the  fair  value  of the
consideration  received  or the fair  value of the  equity  instruments  issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

Loss Per Share - Loss per share is  computed  by  dividing  the net loss for the
period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For
purposes  of  computing  weighted  average  number of  shares  of  common  stock
outstanding,  the  Company  has  common  stock  equivalents.  The  common  stock
equivalents are assumed converted to common stock, when dilutive. During periods
of  operations  in which losses were  incurred,  common stock  equivalents  were
excluded from the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding  because
their inclusion would be  anti-dilutive.  In August 1993, the Company effected a
2,000-for-one  common  stock  recapitalization,  in October  1993,  the  Company
effected a  .576-for-one  reverse  split in its common  stock,  and, in February
1996, the Company effected a  three-for-four  reverse split in its common stock.
In January 1996, the Company issued 1,125,000 shares of common stock in exchange
for  1,000  shares  of  Series  D  Preferred  Stock.  All  share  and per  share
information in these financial statements gives effect,  retroactively,  to such
transactions.  Dividends on preferred  stock are included in the  calculation of
loss per share.

Investment in Joint  Venture - The Company's  investment in a joint venture [See
Note 16] is accounted for under the equity method.

Allocated Related Party Administrative Expenses - During the first six months of
1996 and all of 1995 and 1994,  certain  administrative  services were performed
for the Company by  Consolidated  and its  subsidiaries.  The fair value of such
services,  approximately $9,000, $18,000 and $19,000,  respectively, was charged
to related party and administrative  expenses,  and, since Consolidated will not
be reimbursed for such charges, credited to additional paid-in capital [See Note
7].

Research and Development - Expenditures  for research and development  costs for
the year ended December 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994 amounted to $278,000,  $699,000
and $367,000, respectively.

[3] Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $288,029,

[5] Going Concern Considerations

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared on a going concern
basis which  contemplates  the  realization  of assets and the  satisfaction  of
liabilities  and  commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has
sustained  losses since  inception and the  accumulated  deficit at December 31,
1996 is  $11,725,825.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon the success of the Company's  marketing  effort and its access
to sufficient funding to enable it to continue operations.  The Company has been
funded through December 31, 1996 through loans from principal  stockholders,  an
asset-based  lender and others,  and from the sale of stock [See Notes 7 and 8].
All these factors had raised  substantial doubt about the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern.

Such  substantial  doubt has been  alleviated  due to the  Company's  ability to
secure  contracts,  such as the  agreement  effective  April 8, 1997 with Health
System Design Corporation, which will allow the Company to provide the "Provider
Management  Information System" to the nearly 600 Provider Agencies in the State
of Ohio.  Management  believes  that the gross profit from this contract in 1997
will range from $567,000 to $2.3 million. The Company believes that the $567,000
gross profit can be attained with the existing staff.

There can be no assurances that management's plans to reduce operating losses by
increasing  revenues  to fund  operations  will  be  successful.  The  financial
statements do not include any  adjustments  relating to the  recoverability  and
classification  of  recorded  assets,  or  the  amounts  and  classification  of
liabilities  that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in
existence.

as follows:  582,072 shares of common stock to SISC, for $1,300,  112,584 shares
to DLB, Inc.  ["DLB"] for $6,700,  and 43,200 shares of common stock for nominal
consideration to each of DLB and two individuals,  one of whom became a director
in June 1994.  DLB is controlled by the wife of the chairman of the board who is
also the  chairman  of the  board of  Consolidated.  The  chairman  of the board
disclaims any beneficial interest in any securities owned by DLB.

Also in connection with the  organization of the Company,  the Company  acquired
all of the capital  stock of LMT in exchange for 129,600  shares of common stock
and 400 shares of Series A 4% Convertible  Redeemable preferred stock, par value
$.01 per  share  ["Series  A  preferred  stock"].  The 400  shares  of  Series A
preferred  stock are  convertible  into 43,200  shares of common stock [See Note
10].  LMT was a shell  corporation  with no  operating  business.  The shares of
common  stock  issued  included  60,480 to the chief  operating  officer  of the
Company and 25,920 to the  vice-president  of the Company.  The remaining 43,200
and all of the shares of Series A preferred  stock were issued to a  non-related
individual.  The  Company  expensed  the value of the Series A  preferred  stock
($40,000).  The issuance of the common stock was treated as compensation  valued
at $.01 per share.  In August 1996 the Company  converted its Series A Preferred
stock into 43,200 Common Shares.

[B] Loans by Related Parties - At September 30, 1995, the total indebtedness due
SISC was $2,960,000 plus interest of $388,000. As of such date, (i) the interest
was exchanged for 1,125,000 shares of common stock,  (ii) $2,210,000 of the debt
was  exchanged  for 2,210  shares  of Series D 6%  preferred  stock  ["Series  D
preferred  stock"],  having  a  liquidation  price  of  $1.00  per  share  and a
redemption price of $1,000 per share, and (iii) the remaining  $750,000 due SISC
is  represented by the Company's 10%  subordinated  note due January 15, 1997 or
earlier  upon the  completion  of the  Company's  initial  public  offering.  In
conjunction with the September 30, 1995 debt  restructuring,  $136,000 which was
previously  recorded as paid-in capital,  was reclassified to debt owed to SISC.
The  Series D  preferred  stock may be  redeemed  at the  option of the  Company
commencing  October 1, 1998,  and is redeemable at any time after  issuance from
50% of the  proceeds  of any over  allotment  on the  Company's  initial  public
offering or other issuance of equity securities  subsequent to the completion of
the Company's initial public offering.

At December 31,  1994,  SISC has  advanced  $2,626,000  which are in the form of
demand notes bearing interest at 10%. This amount includes a $97,000 note due to
DLB, Inc. which was purchased by SISC in April 1994.  Interest  expense on these
notes for the years ended December 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994 amounted to $10,125,
$199,000 and $189,000, respectively.

[7] Related Party Transactions [Continued]

[B] Loans by Related  Parties  [Continued] - In connection  with the issuance by
the Company of its Interim Notes [the "Interim  Notes"] in July and August 1993,
SISC, in  anticipation  of the Company's  receipt of the proceeds of such loans,
advanced the Company, on a non-interest bearing basis, $79,000, which was repaid
by the Company in August  1993.  Such advance was used by the Company to pay the
principal  on a $50,000  demand  note and  interest  of $2,000 and to pay normal
operating  expenses.  In connection with the Interim Notes,  SISC transferred to
the lenders an aggregate  of 15,120  shares of common stock for $.232 per share.
In  connection  with the agreement of the holders of the Interim Notes to extend
the maturity  date of the notes to the earlier of September  30, 1994,  or three
days after the Company  completes its initial public offering,  SISC transferred
an aggregate of 9,375  shares of common stock to such  noteholders.  The Company
incurred  a  charge  of  $7,000  against   operations  for  financing  costs  in
conjunction  with the issuance of stock by SISC.  The Interim Notes were paid in
full in 1996.

During the period  from  January to June 1994,  SISC  advanced an  aggregate  of
$330,000 to CSM. As a result of the  acquisition,  such obligations are included
in the  principal  amount  of the  Company's  obligations  to SISC,  which  were
approximately  $2.6 million at December  31,  1994.  Included in the advances by
SISC to the  Company  were  $300,000  which  was used to pay  payroll  taxes and
interest and $500,000 which was used in connection with the purchase of CSM.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994,  ACT [the parent of Old CSM] loaned  $167,000 and
$58,000 to the Company in the form of demand notes  bearing  interest at 10% per
annum. These loans were paid in full in 1996.

In October 1993, SISC  transferred  shares of common stock to two officers,  who
received 17,460 and 18,000 shares, respectively,  and to five employees, each of
whom received 6,000 shares. The fair value of such shares, approximately $15,000
in the aggregate, was charged to compensation.

The Company has an agreement  with  Consolidated  and its subsidiary The Trinity
Group, Inc. ["Trinity"] pursuant to which the Company will pay Trinity a monthly
fee of $15,000 for a three-year term commencing on the first day of the month in
which the Company receives the proceeds from the Offering for general  business,
management and financial  consulting  services.  Pursuant to this agreement,  in
1996 the Company charged $60,000 to related party administrative expenses.

The Company entered into an agreement with SMI Corporation ["SMI"],  pursuant to
which the company would pay SMI compensation of $25,000 to $59,000 per month for
which  SMI  would  provide  persons  to serve in  management-level  or other key
positions  for the  Company.  In  addition,  the Company is to pay SMI 6% of the
revenues  generated from Smart Card and related  services.  The agreement  would
continue until December 31, 2000. The sole  stockholder of SMI, Mr. Storm Morgan
was  elected as a director of the  Company in January  1996.  For the year ended
December  31, 1996,  the Company  incurred  and paid,  $619,700 of  compensation
expense pursuant to its agreement with SMI as well as an additional $250,000 for
services.  In February of 1997 the Company  modified the  agreement  whereby the
monthly  fees  were  reduced  to $9,000  and all  commission  arrangements  were
canceled.

[8] Notes Payable

Bank - Notes payable to bank in the amount of $79,000,  at December 31,1995 were
payable on demand. The notes had a interest rate of 1-1/2% over the bank's prime
rate and were  collateralized by the assets of CSM. The loan was paid in full in
1996. The prime rate at December 31, 1996 was approximately 8.25%.

[8] Notes Payable [Continued]

Asset-Based  Lender - In February  1995,  the Company  entered  into an accounts
receivable financing with an asset-based lender.  Borrowings under this facility
were  $590,000  and  $707,000 at December  31, 1996 and 1995  respectively.  The
Company can borrow up to 80% of eligible  receivables,  and it pays  interest at
the  greater  of 18% per  annum  or prime  plus 8% and a fee  equal to 1% of the
amount of the invoice.  This note is  collateralized  by all of the accounts and
property and equipment of the Company.  In addition,  the Company's  obligations
under this facility are guaranteed by the chairman of the board and president of
the Company.  Also,  the then chief  executive  officer and the treasurer of the
Company have issued their limited guaranty to the lender.

In March 1996,  the agreement  with the asset based lender was modified to allow
borrowings up to 80% of eligible  receivables to a maximum of $1,000,000 for the
period up to the public  offering at which  point the terms would  revert to the
agreement of a maximum  borrowing of $750,000.  In  consideration,  the Company,

[8] Notes Payable [Continued]

In January 1996, the Company borrowed  $500,000 from four accredited  investors.
In connection  with such loans,  the Company issued its 8% promissory  notes due
January  31,  1997,  which  were  subsequently  paid  from the  proceeds  of the
Company's initial public offering. The Company also agreed to issue and register
with the Securities Act one unit for each $2.00 principal  amount of notes.  The
unit issued to the  noteholders  mirrored the units issued in the initial public
offering  which  consisted of two shares of the  Company's  Common Stock and one
Series A Redeemable  Common Stock Purchase  Warrant.  The Company incurred a one
time non-cash finance charge of $1,611,000 upon the issuance of these units.

[9] Income Taxes

The Company utilizes an asset and liability  approach to determine the extent of
any deferred income taxes, as described in SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting for Income
Taxes"  of  the  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board.  This  method  gives
consideration to the future tax consequences associated with differences between
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

For  financial  reporting  purposes at December  31,  1996,  the Company has net
operating loss carryforwards of $8,300,000 expiring by 2011. Pursuant to Section
382 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  regarding  substantial  changes  in Company
ownership,  utilization  of these  losses may be limited.  Based on this and the
fact that the Company has generated  operating losses through December 31, 1996,
the deferred tax asset of approximately  $3,300,000 is offset by an allowance of
$3,300,000.

A  deferred  tax  asset of  approximately  $1,400,000,  related  to  stock-based
compensation  awards, has been offset by a valuation allowance of $1,400,000 due
to the uncertainty of its realization.

Effective  December 31, 1995,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 107, which requires
disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial  instruments which
are  recognized  or  unrecognized  in the balance  sheet.  The fair value of the
financial instruments disclosed therein is not necessarily representative of the
amount  that  could be  realized  or  settled,  nor does the fair  value  amount
consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.  The following table
summarizes  financial  instruments  by individual  balance sheet  accounts as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995:

For  debt  classified  as  current,  it was  assumed  that the  carrying  amount
approximated fair value for these instruments because of their short maturities.
The fair value of long-term  debt is based on current rates at which the Company
could borrow funds with similar  remaining  maturities.  The carrying  amount of
long-term debt approximates fair value.

The  Company  has  an  agreement  with  Trinity  Group,  Inc.   ["Trinity"],   a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated,  pursuant to which the Company will pay
Trinity $15,000 a month for consulting services.  Neither the Company's chairman
of the board,  who is the chairman of the board of  Consolidated,  nor any other
employee of Consolidated, Trinity or SISC receives compensation from the Company

At the time of the  acquisition  of CSM,  the  Company  entered  into  five-year
employment  agreements  with its current chief operating  officer  [formerly the
president] and vice  president,  which replaced  employment  agreements  then in
effect,  and the three  individuals who had been officers of CSM. The agreements
provide for  salaries of  $125,000,  $85,000,  $125,000,  $125,000  and $80,000,
respectively,  subject to cost of living increases.  The agreements also provide
for bonuses based upon a percentage of income before income taxes.  The officers
are also provided with an automobile or an automobile allowance.

In January 1996, the vice-president's  base salary was increased from $85,000 to
$100,000.  Also, for 1996, the chief  operating  officer and two other officers,
whose base salaries were $125,000 each,  agreed to reduce their base salaries to
$62,000,  $100,000 and $100,000,  with certain incentives if certain targets are
attained.  The  current  president  who is  not  one  of  the  five  individuals
previously mentioned,  was compensated during 1996 at the annual rate of $52,000
prior to the public offering and $125,000 subsequent to the public offering.

The  proforma  disclosure  is not  representative  of the  potential  impact  on
proforma  earnings for years since the agreement was subsequently  modified [see
Note 7B].

On or about  September 29, 1995, an action was commenced  against the Company by
the filing of a summons  with  notice in the  Supreme  Court of the State of New
York,  County of New York.  The action  was  commenced  by Jacque W. Pate,  Jr.,
Melvin Pierce, Herbert A. Meisler, John Gavin, Elaine Zanfini,  individually and
derivatively as  shareholders of Onecard Health Systems  Corporation and Onecard
Corporation,  which corporations are collectively  referred to as "Onecard." The
named defendants include, in addition to the Company,  officers and directors of
the  Company,  its  principal  stockholder  and  the  parent  of  its  principal
stockholder.  A complaint was served on November 15, 1995.  The complaint  makes
broad claims  respecting  alleged  misappropriation  of Onecard's trade secrets,
corporate assets and corporate opportunities,  breach of fiduciary relationship,
unfair  competition,  fraud,  breach  of trust and  other  similar  allegations,
apparently  arising at the time of, or in connection with the  organization  of,
the  Company in  September  1992.  The  complaint  seeks  injunctive  relief and
damages,  including  punitive  damages,  of $130 million.  In September 1996 the
above action was dismissed.

In March 1997, the plaintiff has refiled a new action with the same  allegations
and stating claims that were at the basis of the original complaint. Such action
is in the amount of  $130,000,000.  The Company contends that the technology and
software  were  created  from a "clean  office  start" and the action is without
merit and frivolous. No assessment as to any outcome can be made at this time as
the matter is in its very preliminary  stages. The Company denies any allegation
of wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend the action.

[14] Stock-Based Compensation

In July 1993,  the  Company  adopted,  by action of the board of  directors  and
stockholders,  the 1993  Long-term  Incentive  Plan [the  "Plan"].  The Plan was
amended in October  1993,  April 1994,  October  1994 and February  1996.  These
amendments  increased the number of shares  available for grant  pursuant to the
plan. The Plan does not have an expiration date.

The Plan is  authorized to grant options or other  equity-based  incentives  for
511,000  shares of the common  stock.  If shares  subject to an option under the
Plan cease to be subject to such  options,  or if shares  awarded under the Plan
are  forfeited,  or  otherwise  terminated  without a payment  being made to the
participant in the form of stock, such shares will again be available for future
distribution under the Plan.

to the Company or any  subsidiaries or affiliates.  The Plan imposes no limit on
the  number of  officers  and other key  employees  to whom  awards may be made;
however,  no person shall be entitled to receive in any fiscal year awards which
would  entitle  such  person to acquire  more than 3% of the number of shares of
common stock outstanding on the date of grant.

In January  1995,  the Board  granted,  to various  employees,  stock options to
purchase an aggregate of 252,804 shares of common stock at $.232 per share,  and
in December  1995 the Board  granted,  to various  employees,  stock  options to
purchase an aggregate of 104,952 shares of common stock at $.345 per share. Such
exercise  prices were  determined  by the Board to be the fair market  value per
share on the date of grant.  The  options  become  exercisable  as to 50% of the
shares on the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. These options
expire on January 31, 2000 and December 31, 2000,  respectively.  In  connection
with certain of the January 1995 option grants,  the Board  canceled  previously
granted  options to purchase  206,250  shares at an exercise  price of $5.33 per
share which were  granted in 1994.  In April 1996,  the  Company  granted  stock
options  to  purchase  an  aggregate  of  129,500  shares of common  stock at an
exercise  price of $2.00  per  share  and  recognized  compensation  expense  of
$154,800.  The options are  exercisable as to 50% of the shares on the first and
second anniversaries of the date of grant and expire in April 2001.

In addition, the Company granted to the underwriter,  for nominal consideration,
options to purchase  56,250  units,  consisting  of two common  shares,  and one
purchase  warrant,  for a four year period commencing August 13, 1997 at a price
of $5.37.

In October 1993, the Company issued to SISC warrants to purchase  375,000 shares
of  common  stock at $10.00  per  share,  225,000  shares at $6.67 per share and
150,000  shares of common stock at $2.67 per share and issued to SMACS  warrants
to purchase  37,500  shares of common stock at $6.67 per share and 37,500 shares
at $2.67  per  share.  The  warrants  became  exercisable  six  months  from the
completion of the Company's  initial public offering or earlier with the consent
of the Company and the underwriter and expire on November 30, 1998.

In  February  1996,  the  Company  issued an  aggregate  of  3,153,750  Series B
Warrants,  of which 2,526,250 are exercisable at $2.00 per share and 637,500 are
exercisable at $5.00 per share.  These  warrants were issued in connection  with
services  rendered,  which,  in the case of SISC,  included the guarantee of the
December 1995 Interim Notes, and, in certain instances the terms of the warrants
were  revised.  Although  the warrants  were issued prior to the  three-for-four
reverse  split,  which was  effective  in  February  1996,  the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants, but not the exercise price, was adjusted
for the reverse  split.  Certain of the warrants  initially  had a November 1998
expiration  date,  which  was  extended  to  December  31,  1999,  which  is the
expiration date of all of the warrants.

Of the warrants issued in February 1996,  787,500 warrants  exercisable at $2.00
per share and 37,500  warrants  exercisable  at $5.00 per share  were  issued to
replace 825,000 warrants  previously  issued in October 1993. These warrants had
exercise prices ranging from $2.67 per share to $10.00 per share.

The Company applies  accounting  principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, for stock options issued
to employees in accounting for its stock options plans.  Total compensation cost

based  warrants  pursuant  to the fair value based  method of SFAS No. 123,  the
Company would have recorded  additional  compensation  expense totaling $846,000
and $50,000 for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  and
the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

[16] Joint Venture

The Company  executed an agreement in February  1996 to purchase an  application
software  product known as the SATC Software which processes retail plastic card
transactions and merchant transactions. The purchase price for the SATC Software
is  $650,000,  of which  $325,000 was paid in February  1996 with the  remaining
balance of $325,000 due and paid in three installments during 1996.

The Company entered into a joint venture with Oasis Technology,  Ltd.  ["Oasis"]
pursuant to which the joint venture  corporation (50% owned by the Company) will
purchase the SATC software and made an advance  payment of $325,000,  in January
1996, pursuant to such proposed joint venture. The Company has an agreement with
Oasis that Oasis will pay the remaining  $325,000 as part of its contribution to
the joint venture.  Oasis did pay the $325,000 during 1996. The Company accounts
for its  interest  in the Joint  Venture on the equity  method.  During 1996 the
Company recognized $264,085 of its share of losses related to this joint venture
and contributed an additional $59,631 in cash to fund ongoing costs.

[17] New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] has issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 125.  "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities".  SFAS No. 125 
is effective for transfers and servicing of financing assets and extinguishment 
of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996.  The provision of SFAS No. 125
must be applied prospectively; retroactive application is prohibited and early 
application is not allowed. SFAS No. 125 supersedes SFAS No. 77, "Reporting by 
Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse".  While both SFAS No. 
125 and SFAS No. 77 required a surrender of "control" or financial assets to 
recognize a sale, the SFAS No. 125 requirements of sale are generally more 
stringent.  SFAS No. 125 is not expected to have a material impact on the 
Company because the Company hasn't been recognizing sales under SFAS No. 77 and 
will also not be under SFAS No. 125.  Some provisions of SFAS No. 125, which are
unlikely to apply to the Company, have been deferred by the FASB.

The FASB has issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings  Per Share" and SFAS 129  "Disclosure
of  Information  About  Capital  Structure".  Both are  effective  for financial
statements  issued for periods  ending after  December  15,  1997.  SFAS No. 128
simplifies the computation of earning per share by replacing the presentation of
primary  earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings per share. The
statement  requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share by
entities with complex capital  structures.  Basic earnings per share includes no
dilution an is computed by dividing income  available to common  stockholders by
the  weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  for the  period.  Diluted
earnings per share  reflects the  potential  dilution of  securities  that could
share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share.

While the Company has not analyzed  SFAS No. 128  sufficiently  to determine its
long-term impact on per share reported  amounts,  SFAS No. 128 should not have a
significant effect on historically reported per share loss amounts.

SFAS No. 129 does not change any previous  disclosure  requirements,  but rather
consolidates existing disclosure requirements for ease of retrieval.

[18] Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The  financial  statements  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are
unaudited;  however,  in the opinion of management all  adjustments  [consisting
solely of normal recurring  adjustments] necessary to a fair presentation of the
financial  statements for these interim  periods have been made. The results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for
a full fiscal year.

[19] Subsequent Events [Unaudited]

On June 30, 1997, the Company paid dividends  relating to the Series D Preferred
Stock  which were  payable on October 1, 1996 and April 1, 1997.  The  dividends
were paid through the issuance  12,802  shares of common stock and valued at the
fair market value at the respective dates they became payable.  This resulted in
an increase of $108,900 in the accumulated deficit with a corresponding increase
in common stock and additional  paid-in capital - common stock in the amounts of
$128 and $108,772, respectively.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Section 145 of the Delaware  General  Corporation Law and Article EIGHT
of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Exhibit 3.1) provide for
indemnification   of  directors  and  officers  of  the  Company  under  certain
circumstances.

        Reference is made to  Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the  Underwriting  Agreement
(Exhibit  1.1)  with  respect  to   indemnification   of  the  Company  and  the
Underwriters.  In  addition,  the  Series  B  Warrants  (Exhibit  10.7)  and the
subscription  agreement  relating to the January  1996  Interim  Notes  (Exhibit
10.12) also include indemnification provisions.

        Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted  to  directors,  offices  or  controlling  persons  of the
registrant,  pursuant to the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities
Act,  and  is,  therefore,   unenforceable.  In  the  event  that  a  claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder,  the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        Set forth below is information concerning the issuance by the Registrant
of its  securities  since July 1, 1994. All  securities  issued were  restricted
securities and the certificates bore restrictive legend.

        (a) All  share  and per  share  information  in  this  Item 15 has  been
restated to reflect a 2,000-for-one Common Stock  recapitalization  effective in
August  1993,  a  .576-for-one  reverse  split  effective  in October 1993 and a
three-for-four reverse split effective February 1996.

        (b) During  1993,  1994 and 1995,  the Company  issued an  aggregate  of
3,153,750  Series B Warrants,  of which 2,516,250 were  exercisable at $2.00 per
share and 637,500  were  exercisable  at $5.00 per share.  These  warrants  were
issued  in  connection  with  services  rendered,  which,  in the  case of SISC,
included the  guarantee of certain  notes issued by the  Registrant  in December
1994, and, in certain instances the terms of the Series B Warrants were revised.
Although the Warrants  were issued prior to the  three-for-four  reverse  split,
which was  effective  in  February  1996,  the  number of shares  issuable  upon
exercise of the Series B Warrants,  but not the exercise price, was adjusted for
the reverse  split.  Certain of the Series B Warrants  initially  had a November
1998  expiration  date,  which was extended to December  31, 2000,  which is the
expiration  date of all of the Series B  Warrants.  The  Series B Warrants  were
issued in February 1996 as follows:

        (c) In July 1996,  pursuant  to a warrant  exchange,  (a) the holders of
Series B Warrants  having a $2.00  exercise  price  exchanged  one third of such
warrants  for Series B Warrants to purchase,  at an exercise  price of $4.00 per
share,  150% of the  number of shares of  Common  Stock  exchanged,  and (b) the
exercise  price of the  Series B  Warrants  having a $5.00  exercise  price  was
reduced to $4.00. Prior to the warrant exchange, there were Series B Warrants to
purchase  2,516,250  shares  of Common  Stock at $2.00  per  share and  Series B
Warrants  to  purchase  637,500  shares  of  Common  Stock  at $5.00  per  share
outstanding.  As a result of the warrant exchange,  there were Series B Warrants
to purchase  1,677,500  shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share and  1,895,625
shares of Common Stock at $4.00 per share.  The holders of the Series B Warrants
which  participated  in the  warrant  exchange  included  the  holders  named in
Paragraph (b) of this Item 15 and their transferees.

        (d) In December 1994, the Registrant issued its 10% promissory notes due
December 31, 1994 (the "December 1994 Interim Notes") in the principal amount of
$200,000.  In connection  with the issuance of the December 1994 Interim  Notes,
Consolidated Technology Group Ltd.  ("Consolidated") issued to the purchasers of
such notes 1,500 shares of its common stock for each $10,000 principal amount of
December 1994 Interim  Note.  In  connection  with the extension of the maturity
date of the December 1994 Interim Notes to January 31, 1994, Consolidated issued
an additional 1,500 shares of its common stock for each $10,000 principal amount
of December 1994 Interim Note. Carte Medical Holdings,  Inc.  ("Holdings"),  the
principal stockholder of the Registrant,  is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of SISC,
which is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of  Consolidated.  In  connection  with the
issuance by Consolidated of its common stock,  its agreement to issue additional
shares of its common  stock and its  agreement to  guarantee  the December  1994
Interim  Notes if such notes are not paid by January 31,  1995,  the  Registrant
agreed to issue  75,000  shares of Common  Stock to  Holdings.  Such shares were
issued in September 1995. Set forth below is information concerning the issuance
of the December 1994 Interim Notes. The number of shares of Consolidated  common
stock reflects both the initial issuance and the additional issuance.

exchange  for  cancellation  of the  Registrant's  indebtedness  to  SISC in the

there are limitations on the redemption of such shares.  The Registrant issued a
$750,000  promissory note to SISC in respect of the balance of its  indebtedness
to SISC.  The note is due in January  1997,  but is payable  five days after the
completion of the Registrant's initial public offering.

               (iv) The Registrant  issued  1,125,000  shares of Common Stock to

Item 17.  Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

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

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

               (ii) To reflect  in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising
after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement  (or the most  recent
post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or in the  aggregate,
represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;

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

        (2) For  determining  liability  under the Securities Act, to 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)  To  remove  from  the   registration   statement   by  means  of  a
post-effective  amendment any of the securities  being  registered  which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (4) To provide  to the  underwriters  at the  closing  specified  in the
underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such
names  as  required  by the  underwriters  to  permit  prompt  delivery  to each
purchaser.

        (5)  Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under  the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors,  officer or controlling persons of
the  registrant,  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,  or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission,  such  indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder,  the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (6) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat the
information  omitted  from  the  form  of  prospectus  filed  as  part  of  this
registration  statement  in reliance  upon Rule 430A and  contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the 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.

        (7) For  determining  any liability  under the Securities  Act, to 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.

Gentlemen:

        We refer to the above-captioned  registration statement on Form S-1 (the
"Registration  Statement")  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended (the
"Act"),  filed by  Netsmart  Technologies,  Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation  (the
"Company"),  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Terms defined in the
Registration  Statement and not otherwise defined in this Opinion shall have the
same meanings in this Opinion as in the Registration Statement.

        We have examined the  originals or  photocopies  or certified  copies of
such records of the Company,  certificates of officers of the Company and public
officials,  and other  documents as we have deemed  relevant and  necessary as a
basis  for the  opinion  hereinafter  expressed.  In such  examination,  we have
assumed the  genuineness of all  signatures,  the  authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as certified  copies or photocopies and the  authenticity of the
originals of such latter documents.

        Based on our examination mentioned above, we are of the opinion that the
securities  being  registered  to  be  sold  by  the  Company  pursuant  to  the
Registration  Statement are duly authorized and will be, when sold in the manner
described in the Registration Statement, legally and validly issued.

        We hereby  consent to the filing of this  opinion as Exhibit  5.1 to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under "Legal Matters" in

that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the  Act  or the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

                                Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        It is a pleasure  to  confirm  the  arrangements  reached  with  Anthony
Grisanti on the telephone  for the  continuation  of the financing  arrangements
between your Company (the "Borrower") and us.

        Effective  August 1, 1997, the Security  Agreement  between the Borrower
and us dated  March 3, 1995 as  heretofore  amended  is  further  amended in the
following respects:

        1.     Paragraph FIRST (b) is changed to read as follows:

               "The  "borrowing  base" shall mean an amount  equal to 80% of the
               net  security  value  of  accounts  as  defined  in  Subparagraph
               THIRTEENTH  (b) hereof,  minus any amounts past due in accordance
               with the  terms of this  Agreement,  and the  "permissible  line"
               shall mean $1,250,000.00 during the year ending July 31, 1998 and
               $1,500,000.00 during each subsequent year."

        2. Paragraph FIRST (c) is changed to read as follows:

               "The Borrower shall pay United basic interest on the daily unpaid
               cash  balances  outstanding  during each month at a rate equal to
               the highest New York City prime rate in effect  during such month
               as generally reported, plus 8.5% per annum."

        3. Paragraph FIRST (d) is changed to read as follows:

               "The Borrower  shall pay United as a commitment  fee for United's
               agreements  hereunder  (i)  $6,669.00  as of  August  1, 1997 and
               $15,000.00 as of August 1st of each year  thereafter  unless this
               Agreement has theretofore been  terminated,  plus (ii) $10,000.00
               per month for each month from August 1997  through  July 1998 and
               $12,500.00 each month thereafter,  beginning  August,  1998, that
               this



                                                                    /continued

Creative Socio-Medics Corp.                        -2-            July 22, 1997

               Agreement  is to remain in effect,  as stated below or as renewed
               or extended,  against which monthly  minimum,  or commitment fee,
               the interest charge under Paragraph "FIRST (c)" shall be applied;
               but interest or fees charged in connection with any "overadvance"
               as  referred  to in  subparagraph  "SIXTH A" or any  "installment
               loan" as defined in subparagraph  "THIRTEENTH  (c)," or any other
               fees payable hereunder, shall not be so applied;"

        4. Paragraph FIRST (e) is changed to read as follows:

               "This Agreement shall remain in effect to July 31, 1999."

        5.     Reference in Paragraph SIXTH C to a collateral  management fee of
               1% of sales is changed to reference  to a  collateral  management
               fee of 5/8ths of 1% of sales.

        6.     Paragraph   THIRTEENTH  B  is  amended  by  changing  the  clause
               designated "(x)" to read as follows:

               "accounts  120 days or older from invoice date and all  purported
               accounts   which   represent  a  breach  of  the  terms  of  this
