                   SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 29, 1996
 
PROSPECTUS
 
                                1,000,000 UNITS
                                  E-NET, INC.
 
    e-Net, Inc. ("Company"), a Delaware corporation, is offering 1,000,000 units
("Units") at a  price of $7.00  per Unit. Each  Unit consists of  two shares  of
common  stock  ("Common Stock"),  $.01  par value,  and  two redeemable  Class A
warrants ("Class  A  Warrants"). The  Common  Stock  and Class  A  Warrants  are
detachable  and  may  trade  separately  immediately  upon  issuance.  See "Risk
Factors" and "Description of Securities."
 
    The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the date
of this Prospectus ("Effective Date"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the  holder
to  purchase one share of  Common Stock at $4.00 per  share during the four year
period commencing one year from the Effective Date hereof. The Class A  Warrants
are  redeemable by the Company for $.05 per  Warrant, at any time after July 25,
1998, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average closing  price
or bid price of the Common Stock, as reported by the principal exchange on which
the  Common  Stock  is quoted,  the  Nasdaq  SmallCap Market  ("Nasdaq")  or the
National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, as the  case may be, equals or  exceeds
$9.00 per share, for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days within a period of
thirty  (30) days ending within ten (10)  days of the notice of redemption. Upon
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to  all holders of the Class A  Warrants,
the  Company shall have the right to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the
term of the Class A Warrants in  compliance with the requirements of Rule  13e-4
to the extent applicable. See "Description of Securities."
 
   
    The Company has applied for inclusion of the Units, Common Stock and Class A
Warrants  on Nasdaq, although there can be  no assurances that an active trading
market will  develop,  even  if  the  securities  are  accepted  for  quotation.
Additionally,  if the Company's securities are accepted for quotation and active
trading develops, the Company is  required to maintain certain minimum  criteria
established  by Nasdaq, of which there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to continue to fulfill such criteria. The Company has been advised  that
the  Company's  securities offered  hereby  will be  listed  on Nasdaq  upon the
Effective Date of this offering under  the symbols "EENTU," "EENT" and  "EENTW."
On  July 26,  1996, the  Company was  advised by  the Nasdaq  Hearing and Review
Committee ("Review Committee") that it called for the review of the decision  of
the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Committee ("Qualifications Committee") to list
the  Company's  securities on  Nasdaq. On  July 28,  1996, the  Review Committee
determined to reverse the July 24, 1996 decision of the Qualifications Committee
approving the listing of  the Company's securities on  Nasdaq, stating no  basis
for  such determination. The determination of  the Review Committee is not final
pending the  review  and  decision  of  the  boards  of  directors  ("Boards  of
Directors")  of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and NASD, Inc., which may occur in
the near term. In the event the Boards of Directors renders a decision to affirm
the determination  of the  Review Committee,  the Company's  securities will  be
delisted from Nasdaq and the Company's securities will be traded on the NASD OTC
Bulletin  Board, which  may materially affect  the trading and  liquidity of the
Company's securities. See "Risk  Factors -- Penny  Stock Regulations May  Impose
Certain Restrictions on Marketability of Securities."
    
 
    Prior  to this  offering, there  has been  no public  market for  the Units,
Common Stock  and Class  A Warrants.  The price  of the  Units, as  well as  the
exercise   price  of  the  Class  A  Warrants,  was  arbitrarily  determined  by
negotiations between  the Company  and  the Underwriter,  and  do not  bear  any
relationship  to  the Company's  assets,  book value,  net  worth or  results of
operations  or  any  other  established   criteria  of  value.  For   additional
information  regarding the factors considered  in determining the initial public
offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the Class A Warrants,  see
"Risk  Factors  -- Arbitrary  Offering Price,"  "Description of  Securities" and
"Underwriting."
 
    The Underwriter from time to time  will become a market maker and  otherwise
effect  transactions in the securities of  this offering. The Underwriter, if it
participates in the market, may become  an influence and thereafter a factor  of
increasing  importance in  the market for  the securities. However,  there is no
assurance that  the  Underwriter  will  or will  continue  to  be  a  dominating
influence.  The prices and liquidity of  the Units may be significantly affected
by the degree, if any,  of the Underwriter's participation  in such market as  a
market  maker. The Underwriter may discontinue  such market making activities at
any time or from time to time.
 
    The Company does not presently file  reports and other information with  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  However,  following  completion  of this
offering, the  Company will  be subject  to the  reporting requirements  of  the
Securities   Exchange  Act  of  1934  and,  as  such,  intends  to  furnish  its
stockholders with  annual reports  containing audited  financial statements  and
such  interim reports as may be required  by law. The Company's fiscal year ends
March 31.
 
    On February  28, 1995,  the Underwriter  became subject  to a  court-imposed
permanent  injunction  to  comply  with  certain  procedures  recommended  by an
independent consultant  arising  out  of  the settlement  of  a  Securities  and
Exchange Commission ("Commission") proceeding. The failure by the Underwriter to
comply  with  the permanent  injunction may  adversely affect  the Underwriter's
activities in that the court may  issue a further order restricting the  ability
of  the Underwriter to  act as a  market maker of  the Company's securities. See
"Risk Factors."
 
AN INVESTMENT IN THE  SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES  A HIGH DEGREE OF  RISK
AND  IMMEDIATE  SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION  OF THE  BOOK VALUE  OF THE  COMMON STOCK
  INCLUDED IN THE  UNITS AND SHOULD  BE CONSIDERED ONLY  BY PERSONS WHO  CAN
    AFFORD  THE LOSS OF       THEIR  ENTIRE INVESTMENT. SEE "RISK FACTORS,"
                            PAGE 7, AND "DILUTION."
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE  NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR DISAPPROVED BY  THE SECURITIES  AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION
   OR  ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
     OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
                                    OFFENSE.

                 The date of this Prospectus is July   , 1996.
    
<PAGE>
                                     NOTES
 
(1) Does not include additional compensation  to be received by the  Underwriter
    in  the  form  of (i)  a  nonaccountable  expense allowance  of  $210,000 if
    1,000,000 Units are  sold (or $241,500  if the Underwriter's  Over-allotment
    Option  is fully exercised); and (ii) an option (exercisable for a period of
    four years commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus)  entitling
    the Underwriter to purchase 100,000 Units at $11.55 per Unit ("Underwriter's
    Purchase  Option"). In addition, the Company and the Underwriter have agreed
    to  indemnity   and   contribution  provisions   regarding   certain   civil
    liabilities,  including  liabilities under  the Securities  Act of  1933, as
    amended. See "Principal Stockholders" and "Underwriting."
 
(2) Before deducting expenses of this offering payable by the Company, estimated
    at $1,000,000, including the Underwriter's nonaccountable expense allowance.
    See "Underwriting."
 
(3) The Company has granted the Underwriter a 30-day Over-allotment Option  from
    the  date of this Prospectus to purchase up to 150,000 additional Units upon
    the  same  terms  and  conditions  as  set  forth  above,  solely  to  cover
    over-allotments,  if  any. If  such  Underwriter's Over-allotment  Option is
    exercised in full, the total Price to the Public, Underwriting Discounts and
    Proceeds to  the  Company  will  be  $8,050,000,  $805,000  and  $7,245,000,
    respectively. See "Underwriting."
 
    IN  CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFERING, THE  UNDERWRITER MAY OVER-ALLOT OR EFFECT
TRANSACTIONS WHICH STABILIZE OR MAINTAIN THE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES AT A
LEVEL ABOVE  THAT  WHICH  MIGHT  OTHERWISE PREVAIL  IN  THE  OPEN  MARKET.  SUCH
TRANSACTIONS  MAY BE EFFECTED ON THE  NASDAQ SMALL-CAP MARKET OR OTHERWISE. SUCH
STABILIZING, IF COMMENCED, MAY BE DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME. SEE "RISK FACTORS."
 
    THE SECURITIES TO BE SOLD  IN THIS OFFERING MAY,  IN THE ORDINARY COURSE  OF
BUSINESS, BE SOLD ONLY TO CUSTOMERS OF THE UNDERWRITER, AND THE CONCENTRATION OF
SECURITIES  IN CUSTOMERS OF THE UNDERWRITER  MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET FOR
AND LIQUIDITY OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES SINCE THE UNDERWRITER MAY BE THE  ONLY
MARKET  MAKER. IN THE EVENT THAT ADDITIONAL  BROKER-DEALERS DO NOT MAKE A MARKET
IN THE COMPANY'S  SECURITIES AND  THE UNDERWRITER  BECOMES A  MARKET MAKER,  THE
UNDERWRITER  MAY BECOME A  DOMINATING INFLUENCE ON THE  MARKET. NO OTHER BROKER-

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
    The  following summary  is qualified  in its  entirety by  the more detailed
information  and  financial  statements,  including  notes  thereto,   appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
THE COMPANY
 
    e-Net,   Inc.  develops,  markets  and  supports  open  client,  server  and
integrated applications software that enables local, national and  international
telephone  communications, information  exchange and commerce  over the Internet
and private Internet Protocol ("IP")  networks. The Company's software  products
are  designed to deliver high  levels of performance, ease  of use and security.
These software products allow individuals  and organizations to execute  secure,
or  private,  voice  communications  across the  Internet,  through  the  use of
authentication  technology,  for  local  national  and  international  telephone
communications,  information exchange and commerce. In addition, through the use
of the Company's software, organizations  can extend their internal  information
systems  and  enterprise  applications to  geographically  dispersed facilities,
remote offices and mobile employees.
 
    In March 1996, the  Company acquired all rights,  title and interest in  the
first  U.S.  patent, U.S.  Patent No.  5,526,353,  for a  system and  method for
communicating high fidelity and  clear transmission of audio  or voice over  the
Internet,  enabling  free  worldwide  high fidelity  and  clear  transmission of
ordinary telephone communications  over the Internet.  The Company acquired  all
rights,  title and  interest in  the patent  from the  inventors, Messrs. Arthur
Henley and  Scott  Grau,  who  are original  stockholders  of  the  Company,  in
consideration  of  a  five  percent overriding  royalty  interest  against gross
profits involving the  use of  the patent. The  Company has  agreed to  allocate
$1,000,000  of capital to  develop and exploit the  market opportunities for the
patent by December 31, 1996, or the patent will be subject to repurchase by  the
inventors  of the  patent. The  Company believes  that its  patent is  the first
patent awarded of its kind, specifically involving the transmission of audio  or
voice  over the Internet. The Company also  believes that its patent may provide
certain strategic and technological advantages in the new and burgeoning area of
audio or voice over the Internet.  The Company can make no assurances,  however,
as to the extent of the advantages or protection, if any, that may be granted to
the Company as a result of its patent or as to the future success of the Company
in  bringing products related to this  technology to market. The Company's first
product utilizing its patent is Telecom-2000-TM-, a hardware and software  suite
designed  for voice over the  Internet, which is in  the final testing stage and
projected to be available to market by the end of the Company's third quarter of
fiscal 1997.
 
    In March 1996, e-Net  entered into an  agreement with Sprint  Communications
Company,  L.P.  ("Sprint"), a  leading  telecommunications company,  under which
e-Net will  deliver  certain  software  development  services  known  as  Sprint
Internet Protocol Dial Services support. Sprint, to date, has been the Company's
largest  customer. Under the agreement, e-Net will use highly technical software
development services to provide security  and field support to Sprint  customers
who  use Sprint as a means of accessing the Internet. e-Net's agreement provides
that e-Net  will generate  all of  the revenues  associated with  the number  of
authorized  Sprint  Internet Protocol  Dial Service  user identity  codes. e-Net
shall also perform password administration, customer service administration  and
emergency  help  desk  administration  under the  terms  of  the  agreement. The
agreement has a duration of one year, with automatic one year renewals,  subject
to mutual consent. e-Net intends to seek additional strategic alliances with the
Regional  Bell Operating  Companies (RBOC's)  for the  use of  its technologies,
products and services.  The Company  has not  entered into  any negotiations  to
enter  into any  strategic alliances  with the RBOC's.  The Company  can make no
assurances that it will be able to enter into any agreements with such  concerns
for its technologies, products and services.
 
    Also,  in June 1996, e-Net entered into  a letter of intent with the Product
Management Group of the Advanced Data Services Division of Sprint to enter  into
an  agreement to provide certain of  e-Net's technologies, products and services
to  Sprint   to   enable   Sprint's   frame   relay   customers,   approximately
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
1,500  nationwide, to  generate network data  reports on an  automated basis for
their virtual private networks. The Company can make no assurances that it  will
be  able to enter into  an agreement with Sprint  for its technologies, products
and services.
 
    In addition to  the compensation to  be received by  the Underwriter in  the
form  of commissions in the  amount of $700,000 if  1,000,000 Units are sold (or
$805,000 if the  Underwriter's Over-allotment  Option is  fully exercised),  the
Underwriter  will receive (i) a nonaccountable  expense allowance of $210,000 if
1,000,000 Units are sold (or $241,500 if the Underwriter's Over-allotment Option
is fully exercised); and (ii) an option (exercisable for a period of four  years
commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus) entitling the Underwriter
to  purchase 100,000 Units at $11.55 per unit ("Underwriter's Purchase Option").
The Company has granted the Underwriter a 30-day Over-allotment Option from  the
date of this Prospectus to purchase up to 150,000 additional Units upon the same
terms  and conditions  as set forth  above, solely to  cover over-allotments, if
any. If such Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the total Price to  the
Public,  Underwriting Discounts and Proceeds to  the Company will be $8,050,000,
$805,000 and $7,245,000, respectively. See "Underwriting."
 
    As  a  result  of  this   offering,  certain  members  of  management   will
substantially  benefit in the amount of remuneration to be paid to them from the
proceeds of this offering in fiscal 1997. See "Management -- Remuneration."
 
    In March and April  1996, the Company borrowed  $1,000,000 in a bridge  loan
from four persons who are nonaffiliated with the Underwriter and the Company, to
wit:  Edward Ratkovich ($500,000), Robert Foise ($250,000), Armstrong Industries
($200,000) and Martin Sumichrast ($50,000), at the rate of eight percent  simple
annual  interest. General Ratkovich  and Mr. Sumichrast  are officers, directors
and principal stockholders of Nasdaq  listed companies recently underwritten  by
the Underwriter. In further consideration of the bridge loan, the Company issued
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 2,000,000 Class A Warrants and 2,000,000 Class
B  Warrants to such persons. However, in June 1996, such persons converted their
loans to equity in  consideration of the prior  issuance of the securities.  See
"Certain Transactions" and "Description of Securities."
 
    Also,  as a result of this  offering, after deducting underwriting discounts
of $700,000 and other expenses of the offering estimated to be $1,000,000, which
includes  the  Underwriter's  nonaccountable  expense  allowance  of   $210,000,
assuming  an offering  price of  $7.00 per  Unit, the  Company will  receive net
proceeds  from  the  offering  of  approximately  $5,300,000.  These   proceeds,
excluding  the exercise of any of the  Warrants, will be utilized by the Company
for approximately 12 months. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    The Company was incorporated  in the State of  Delaware on January 9,  1995,
and began its operations on June 8, 1995. The principal executive offices of the
Company are located at 7-4 Metropolitan Court, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878, and
its  telephone number is (301) 548-8880. Unless the context otherwise indicates,
the terms "Company" and "e-Net" as used in this Prospectus refer to e-Net, Inc.

<PAGE>
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    THE  SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE  AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. ONLY THOSE PERSONS  ABLE TO LOSE THEIR  ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD  PURCHASE
THESE SECURITIES. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION,
SHOULD  CAREFULLY READ  THIS PROSPECTUS AND  CONSIDER, ALONG  WITH OTHER MATTERS
REFERRED TO HEREIN, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS:
 
    DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
 
    The Company was incorporated  in Delaware on January  9, 1995 and, as  such,
faces the risks and problems associated with businesses in their early stages of
development and has a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation
of  its prospects. Such  prospects should be  considered in light  of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the expansion of a  business
in  an industry  characterized by  a substantial  number of  market entrants and
intense competition.  As of  March  31, 1996,  the  Company had  an  accumulated
deficit of $537,056. See "Business."
 
    BRIDGE FINANCING COSTS WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT EARNINGS
 
    The  Company did  not report  earnings for the  year ending  March 31, 1996,
principally as a  result of the  costs attributed to  the issuance of  2,000,000
shares  of  Common  Stock, 2,000,000  Class  A  Warrants and  2,000,000  Class B
Warrants, as  additional consideration  for  a bridge  loan of  $1,000,000,  the
proceeds  of which were  received in March  and April 1996.  Interest expense of
$6,000,000 related to the issuance of the securities will be accrued during  the
period  from March  19, 1996  through the  date upon  which the  bridge loan was
converted to equity (June 24, 1996) and a corresponding credit will be  credited
to  paid in capital. Consequently, earnings  will be negatively impacted by this
cost;  however,  net  stockholders'   equity  will  not   be  impacted  by   the
corresponding  increase in paid in  capital. In addition, there  will be no cash
outlay  associated  with   the  issuance  of   such  securities.  See   "Certain
Transactions" and "Financial Statements."
 
    In  March and April 1996,  the Company borrowed $1,000,000  in a bridge loan
from four persons who are nonaffiliated with the Underwriter and the Company, to
wit: Edward Ratkovich ($500,000), Robert Foise ($250,000), Armstrong  Industries
($200,000)  and Martin Sumichrast ($50,000) at  the rate of eight percent simple
annual interest. General  Ratkovich and Mr.  Sumichrist are officers,  directors
and  principal stockholders of Nasdaq  listed companies recently underwritten by
the Underwriter. Mr. Foise and Armstrong Industries have previously participated
as investors in companies recently  underwritten by the Underwriter. In  further
consideration  of the bridge loan, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, 2,000,000  Class  A Warrants  and  2,000,000  Class B  Warrants  to  such
persons.  However, in June 1996, such persons converted their loans to equity in
consideration of the prior issuance of the securities.
 
    NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY OR PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
 
    The Company can make no assurances that the future operations of the Company
will result in additional revenues or will be profitable. Should the  operations
of the Company be profitable, it is likely that the Company would retain much or
all  of its earnings in order to finance future growth and expansion. Therefore,
the Company does not  presently intend to  pay dividends, and  it is not  likely
that  any  dividends  will be  paid  in  the foreseeable  future.  See "Dividend
Policy."
 
    IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
 
    An investor  in  this offering  will  experience immediate  and  substantial
dilution.  As of March 31,  1996, the Company had a  pro forma net tangible book
value of $1,152,809 or $.14 per  share derived from the Company's balance  sheet
as  of March 31, 1996  and the total common stock  outstanding at March 31, 1996
and the issuance in April 1996 related to the bridge financing an certain  other
equity  transactions in June 1996. After giving  effect to the sale of the Units
offered hereby at an assumed offering  price of $7.00 per Unit, after  deducting
underwriting  discounts and estimated offering  expenses, pro forma net tangible
book  value  would  have  been  $6,452,809,  or  $.65  per  share.  The   result
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
will  be an  immediate increase  in net  tangible book  value per  share of $.51
(364%) to existing shareholders  and an immediate dilution  to new investors  of
$2.85  (81%) per share. As a result, public investors will bear most of the risk
of loss since their shares are being purchased at a cost substantially above the
price that existing shareholders acquired their shares. See "Dilution."
 
    POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
 
    The Company intends to fund its  operations and other capital needs for  the
next  12 months substantially from the proceeds  of this offering, but there can
be no  assurance that  such funds  will be  sufficient for  these purposes.  The
Company may require substantial amounts of the proceeds of this offering for its
future  expansion, operating costs and working  capital. The Company has made no
arrangements to obtain future additional  financing, if required, and there  can
be  no  assurance that  such financing  will be  available, or  that it  will be
available on acceptable terms. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMERS
 
    For the period ending March 31, 1996, the Company derived 32% (Sprint),  29%
(Comsat),  16% (First Data Resources) and 13% (Documenta) of its sales from four
customers, respectively. The dependence on major customers subjects the  Company
to  significant financial risks in the operation  of its business should a major
customer terminate, for any reason, its business relationship with the  Company.
In  such event, the financial condition of the Company may be adversely affected
and the Company may be required  to obtain additional financing, of which  there
is  no assurance.  The Company  is not  aware of  any adverse  developments with
respect  to  its   major  customers.   Also,  dependence   on  major   customers
significantly  increases the  Company's costs,  E.G., travel,  communication and
delivery of  products  and  services,  which  are  reflected  in  the  Company's
financial performance. See "Business" and "Financial Statements."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT
 
    The  Company's success  is principally  dependent on  its current management
personnel for the operation  of its business. In  particular, Robert A.  Veschi,
the  Company's president and  chief executive officer,  has played a substantial
role in the  development and  management of the  Company, although  there is  no
assurance  that  additional  managerial  assistance will  not  be  required. The
analysis of  new business  opportunities  will be  undertaken  by or  under  the
supervision  of the management of the  Company. The Company has recently entered
into an employment agreement with Mr. Veschi. However, if the employment by  the
Company  of Mr. Veschi  terminates, or he  is unable to  perform his duties, the
Company may be substantially affected.  The agreement also contains  non-compete
provisions  but are  limited in geographical  scope, I.E.,  the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area. The Company has agreed to purchase key-man life insurance  on
Mr.  Veschi in the amount  of $1 million prior to  the closing of this offering.
The Company will be the owner and beneficiary of the term insurance policy.  See
"Use of Proceeds," "Business" and "Management."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON HIGHLY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL
 
    The  Company believes that its future success will depend in large part upon
its  continued  ability  to  recruit  and  retain  highly  qualified   technical
personnel.  Competition for highly qualified technical personnel is significant,
particularly in  the  geographic area  in  which the  Company's  operations  are
located.  No assurances  can be  made that  the Company's  relationship with its
employees will remain good. See "Management."
 
    PRODUCT SECURITY RISKS
 
    The Company has included in certain  of its products an implementation of  a
security  protocol which operates in  conjunction with authentication technology
that it has developed. Despite the  existence of this technology, the  Company's
products  may be vulnerable to break-ins  and similar disruptive problems caused
by certain Internet users. Such  computer break-ins and other disruptions  would
jeopardize  the security  of information stored  in and  transmitted through the
computer systems of  end users of  the Company's products,  which may result  in
significant  liability to  the Company and  may also  deter potential customers.
Persistent security problems continue to plague public and
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
private data networks. Recent break-ins at major government institutions,  banks
and corporations have involved hackers bypassing firewalls and missappropriating
confidential  information.  Alleviating  problems caused  by  third  parties may
require significant expenditures of capital and resources by the Company and may
cause interruptions, delays or cessation of service to the Company's  customers;
such  expenditures or  interruptions may have  a material adverse  effect on the
Company's business,  operating results  and financial  condition. Moreover,  the
security  and privacy concerns  of existing and potential  customers, as well as
concerns related to  computer viruses, may  inhibit the growth  of the  Internet
marketplace,   generally,  and   the  Company's  customer   base  and  revenues,
specifically. The Company intends to limit its liability to customers, including
liability arising  from a  failure of  the security  features contained  in  the
Company's  products, through  provisions in  its future  contracts. However, the
Company can  make  no  assurances  that such  contractual  limitations  will  be
enforceable.  The Company currently does not have liability insurance to protect
against these risks and there  can be no assurance  that such insurance will  be
available  to the Company on commercially  reasonable terms, or available on any
terms.
 
    UNCERTAINTY OF PROPOSED MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS CAMPAIGN
 
    Following the closing of this offering,  the Company intends to engage in  a
mergers  and acquisitions campaign  in order to merge  with or acquire companies
engaged in a similar business. The Company has not entered into any negotiations
to merge  with  or  acquire any  such  target  companies, but  the  Company  has
identified  several  such companies  engaged  in a  complementary  business. The
Company can make no assurances that it will be able to merge with or acquire any
companies. Although the Company intends to utilize approximately $500,000 of the
net proceeds of this offering in its mergers and acquisitions activities  during
the  12 months following the date of  this Prospectus, no assurances can be made
that such funds will enable the Company to expand its base or realize profitable
consolidated operations. In  addition, the Company's  stockholders may not  have
the  opportunity to review the financial statements of any of the companies that
may be acquired  or have the  opportunity to vote  on any proposed  acquisitions
since  Delaware law does not require such review and approval. Should such funds
not be utilized in its mergers and acquisitions activities, the Company  intends
to  utilize the funds in equal amounts in working capital, capital equipment and
marketing and sales. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    LITIGATION INVOLVEMENT OF UNDERWRITER MAY HAVE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES.
 
    RECENT NASD ACTIONS INVOLVING UNDERWRITER
    The Company has been advised by the Underwriter that the NASD (District  10)
filed  a complaint (No. C10950081) on  October 5, 1995 ("Complaint") against the
Underwriter, Steven  Sanders, the  head  trader of  the Underwriter,  Daniel  M.
Porush,  the  president of  the  Underwriter, and  Paul  F. Byrne,  formerly the
Underwriter's director of compliance (collectively, the "Respondents"), alleging
various violations of the NASD Rules  of Fair Practice. The complaint  consisted
of  three  causes. The  first  cause alleged  that  the Underwriter  and Sanders
effected principal retail sales of  securities at prices that were  fraudulently
excessive.  The second  cause alleged that  the Underwriter  and Sanders charged
excessive markups.  The third  cause alleged  that the  Underwriter, Porush  and
Byrne   failed  to  establish,  maintain   and  enforce  reasonable  supervisory
procedures designed to assure compliance with the NASD's rules and policies.
 
    On April 15,  1996 the NASD  in its  decision found all  of the  Respondents
except  Paul Byrne in  violation of all  three causes and  imposed the following
sanctions:
 
    -Sanders was censured, fined $25,000 and was suspended from association with
     any member of the NASD in any capacity for a period of one year.
 
    -Underwriter was censured, fined $500,000  and was required to disgorge  its
     excess  profits  to its  customers,  totaling $1,876,205,  plus prejudgment
     interest. In addition, the  Underwriter was suspended for  a period of  one
     year from effecting any principal retail transactions.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
    -Porush  was censured, fined  $250,000 and barred  from association with any
     member of the NASD in any capacity.
 
    The Underwriter,  Porush  and  Sanders have  appealed  the  NASD's  decision
thereby staying imposition of the sanctions.
 
    If  the sanctions imposed on the Underwriter are not reversed on appeal, the
Underwriter's ability to act as a market maker of the Company's securities  will
be  restricted. The Company cannot ensure that  other broker dealers will make a
market in the Company's securities. In the event that other broker dealers  fail
to  make a market in  the Company's securities, the  possibility exists that the
market for  and the  liquidity  of the  Company's  securities may  be  adversely
affected  to such an extent that public  security holders may not have anyone to
purchase their securities when offered for sale at any price. In such event, the
market for and liquidity of the Company's securities may not exist. It should be
noted that although  the Underwriter may  not be  the sole market  maker in  the
Company's  securities,  it  may  likely  be the  dominant  market  maker  in the
Company's securities. See "Underwriting."
 
    In April 1996, the NASD settled an action whereby it fined Stratton  Oakmont
$325,000  for fraud and other violations (which were neither admitted or denied)
in connection  with  its underwriting  of  an initial  public  offering.  Steven
Sanders  was  fined $50,000  and  was suspended  for a  period  of 45  days from
associating with an NASD member and agreed not to engage in any  trading-related
activities  for any  NASD member for  a period  of 50 days.  The settlement also
required that Stratton Oakmont file certain new supervisory procedures with  the
NASD.  The Underwriter filed with the NASD on April 11, 1996 procedures relating
to the conduct  of associated  persons during  and preceding  an initial  public
offering,  which  were  aimed  at  preventing violations  of  Section  5  of the
Securities Act of  1933 and Rule  10b-6 promulgated under  Section 10(b) of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  and aimed  at  preventing  SEC  Rule 10b-10
violations and the type of arbitrary  pricing which occurred in connection  with
the  trading of securities underwritten by  the Underwriter on January 16, 1991.
These procedures have been in effect since April 11, 1996. See "Underwriting."
 
   
    The Company has been advised by the Underwriter that the NASD (District  10)
filed  a  complaint (No.  C10960080)  on June  6,  1996 ("June  1996 Complaint")
against the Underwriter, Daniel Porush, Steven Sanders, Irving Stitsky, a former
registered  representative  of  the  Underwriter,  and  Jordan  Shamah,  a  vice
president  and a director of  the Underwriter (collectively, the "Respondents"),
alleging various  violations of  the Exchange  Act and  the NASD  Rules of  Fair
Practice.  The June 1996 Complaint consists of seven causes of action. The first
cause alleges that the Underwriter, through  Porush and Sanders, engaged in  the
use  of fraudulent  and manipulative  devices in the  failure to  make bona fide
distributions in  five  public  offerings  of  securities  underwritten  by  the
Underwriter  between June 1993 and April 1994. The second cause alleges that the
Underwriter, through Porush, Sanders, Stitsky and Shamah, engaged in the use  of
fraudulent  and  manipulative  devices  in  the  failure  to  make  a  bona fide
distribution of the common stock of a company whose initial public offering  was
underwritten  by the Underwriter. The third  cause alleges that the Underwriter,
through Porush and Sanders  for a period of  three days, manipulated the  common
stock  of such company.  The fourth cause alleges  that the Underwriter, through
Sanders, charged fraudulently excessive markups in connection with the  warrants
of  such company. The fifth cause  alleges that the Underwriter, through Porush,
violated the NASD's  Free-Riding and Withholding  Interpretation inasmuch as  he
allegedly allocated securities in certain public offerings to persons restricted
from purchasing such securities. The sixth cause alleges that Porush and Stitsky
failed  to  adequately  supervise  the Underwriter's  activity  relating  to the
various alleged violations. The seventh  cause alleges that the Underwriter  and
Porush  failed to  establish and  maintain reasonable  supervisory procedures to
prevent the  Underwriter's violative  conduct. The  Respondents intend  to  file
answers  to the June 1996 Complaint denying all material allegations and alleged
violations.

    In addition, the Company has been  advised by the Underwriter that the  NASD
(District  10) filed a  complaint (No. C10960068) on  June 6, 1996 ("Complaint")
against the Underwriter and Patrick Gerard Hayes, the compliance director of the
Underwriter (collectively, the "Respondents"),  alleging violations of the  NASD
Rules  of Fair  Practice. The  Complaint consists of  two causes  of action. The
first cause alleges that the Underwriter failed to report information  regarding
at  least 59  customer complaints the  Underwriter received  during the relevant
time periods as required by  the NASD Rules of  Fair Practice. The second  cause
alleges  that  the  Underwriter,  through  its  compliance  director,  failed to
establish, maintain and enforce written  procedures designed to ensure that  the
Underwriter  complied with the NASD Rules of Fair Practice. The Respondents have
filed answers to the Complaint and are contesting the proceeding.
    
 
   PERMANENT INJUNCTION  GRANTED --  STRATTON OAKMONT  ENJOINED TO  COMPLY  WITH
   RECOMMENDATIONS  OF  AN  INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT  AND  AN  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
   APPOINTED PURSUANT TO AN ADMINISTRATION ORDER
 
    The Company  has  been  advised  by Stratton  Oakmont  that  the  Commission
instituted  an action on December  14, 1994 in the  United States District Court
for the District  of Columbia  against Stratton Oakmont.  The complaint  alleged
that Stratton Oakmont was not complying with the Administrative Order entered by
the  Commission on March  17, 1994 ("Administrative Order")  by failing to adopt
the recommendations of an independent  consultant. The Administrative Order  was
previously  consented to by  Stratton Oakmont, without  admitting or denying the
findings contained  therein,  as  settlement  of  an  action  commenced  against
Stratton Oakmont by the Commission in March 1992, which found willful violations
of the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws such that Stratton Oakmont:
 
    -engaged in fraudulent sales practices;
 
    -engaged in and/or permitted unauthorized trading in customer accounts;
 
    -knowingly  and  recklessly  manipulated  the market  price  of  a company's
     securities by dominating and controlling the market for those securities;
 
    -made improper and unsupported price predictions with regard to  recommended
     over-the-counter securities; and
 
    -made material misrepresentations and omissions regarding certain securities
     and its experience in the securities industry.
 
    Pursuant  to the Administrative Order, Stratton  Oakmont was censured and an
independent consultant ("Stratton Consultant") was  chosen by the Commission  to
advise  and  consult  with Stratton  Oakmont  and  to review  and  recommend new
supervisory and compliance procedures. The complaint sought:
 
    -to enjoin Stratton Oakmont from violating the Administrative Order;
 
    -an order  commanding Stratton  Oakmont to  comply with  the  Administrative
     Order; and
 
    -to  have a Special  Compliance Monitor appointed  to ensure compliance with
     the Administrative  Order.  Stratton  Oakmont  claimed  that  the  Stratton
     Consultant  exceeded his authority  under the Administrative  Order and had
     violated the terms of the Administrative Order.
 
    On February  28, 1995,  the  court granted  the  Commission's motion  for  a
permanent  injunction ("Permanent  Injunction") and ordered  Stratton Oakmont to
comply with  the Administrative  Order,  which required  the appointment  of  an
independent  consultant and a separate independent auditor and required that all
recommendations  be  complied  with,  including  the  taping  of  all  telephone
conversations  between  Stratton  Oakmont's  brokers  and  their  customers.  In
granting  the  Commission's  motion  for  a  Permanent  Injunction,  the   court
determined that Stratton Oakmont's conduct unequivocally demonstrated that there
is  a substantial likelihood that it will continue to evade its responsibilities
under the Administrative  Order. On April  20, 1995, Stratton  Oakmont filed  an
appeal  to the United States Court of  Appeals for the District of Columbia, and
on April 24, 1995 filed a motion
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
to stay the Permanent Injunction pending  the outcome of the appeal. The  motion
to  stay was  denied. Subsequently,  Stratton Oakmont  voluntarily dismissed its
appeal. The failure by Stratton Oakmont to comply with the Administrative  Order
or  Permanent Injunction may  adversely effect Stratton  Oakmont's activities in
that the court  may enter a  further order restricting  the ability of  Stratton
Oakmont to act as a market maker of the Company's securities. The effect of such
action  may prevent  the holders of  the Company's securities  from selling such
securities since Stratton  Oakmont may  be restricted  from acting  as a  market
maker  of  the Company's  securities and,  in such  event, will  not be  able to
execute a sale of such securities. Also, if other broker dealers fail to make  a
market  in the  Company's securities, the  public security holders  may not have
anyone to purchase their securities when offered  for sale at any price and  the
security holders may suffer the loss of their entire investment.
 
   RECENT STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING STRATTON OAKMONT --
   POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIQUIDITY
 
    As a result of the Permanent Injunction, the states of Pennsylvania, Indiana
and  Illinois  have commenced  administrative  proceedings seeking,  among other
things, to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license  to do business in such states.  In
Indiana,  the Commissioner suspended Stratton Oakmont's license for a three year
period. Stratton Oakmont  has appealed  the decision  and has  requested a  stay
pending appeal. The requested stay would maintain the status quo pending appeal.
In  Illinois, Stratton Oakmont  intends to file an  answer to the administrative
complaint denying the basis for  revocation. The District of Columbia  suspended
Stratton  Oakmont's license pending the outcome  of an investigation. The states
of North Carolina and  Arkansas also have  suspended Stratton Oakmont's  license
pending  a  resolution  of  the  proceedings  in  those  states.  The  states of
Minnesota, Vermont,  and Nevada  have served  upon Stratton  Oakmont notices  of
intent  to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license in  such states. The state of Rhode
Island has served on Stratton Oakmont a Notice of Intent to suspend its  license
in  that state. The state of Connecticut has served on Stratton Oakmont a notice
of intent to suspend or revoke registration in that state with a notice of right
to hearing.  In the  state of  Mississippi,  Stratton Oakmont  has agreed  to  a
suspension of its license pending resolution of certain claims and review of its
procedures and practices by the state authorities. In addition, Stratton Oakmont
withdrew  its registration  in the  state of  New Hampshire  (with the  right of
reapplication) and in the state of Maryland. There may be further administrative
action against  the firm  in Maryland.  The firm  withdrew its  registration  in
Massachusetts with a right to reapply for registration after two years, withdrew
its  registration in Delaware with a right  to reapply in three years and agreed
to a temporary cessation of business  in Utah pending an on-site inspection  and
further  administrative proceedings. Stratton Oakmont's  license in the state of
New Jersey was  revoked by  an administrative  law judge,  which revocation  was
affirmed  by the New Jersey  Bureau of Securities, and  an appeal has been filed
with the appellate  division of  the New Jersey  Superior Court.  The states  of
Georgia,  Alabama  and South  Carolina have  lifted  their suspensions  and have
granted Stratton Oakmont  conditional licenses. Such  conditional licenses  were
granted  pursuant to  an order, which  Stratton Oakmont has  proposed to various
states, which provides provisions  for: (i) the  suspension of revocation,  (ii)
compliance  with recommendations  of the  Consultant, (iii)  an expedited claims
mediation arbitration process,  (iv) resolution of  claims seeking  compensatory
damages,  (v) restrictions on  use of operating revenue,  (vi) the limitation on
selling group  members in  offerings underwritten  by Stratton  Oakmont and  the
prohibition of participating as a selling group member in offerings underwritten
by  certain  other NASD  member  firms, (vii)  the  periodic review  of Stratton
Oakmont's  agents,  (viii)  the  retention  of  an  accounting  firm,  and  (ix)
supervision  and training,  restrictions on trading,  discretionary accounts and
other matters. The state of Oregon, as a result of the Permanent Injunction, has
filed a notice  of intent to  revoke Stratton Oakmont's  license subject to  the
holding  of  a  hearing  to determine  definitively  Stratton  Oakmont's license
status, and Stratton Oakmont, in this  proceeding as well as other  proceedings,
expects  to be  able to demonstrate  that the  Permanent Injunction is  not of a
nature as to be a lawful basis to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license permanently.
Finally, Stratton Oakmont has received an order limiting license in the state of
Nebraska. Such proceedings, if ultimately  successful, may adversely affect  the
market  for  and liquidity  of the  Company's  securities if  additional broker-
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
dealers do  not make  a market  in the  Company's securities.  Moreover,  should
investors  purchase any of the securities in this offering from Stratton Oakmont
prior to  a  revocation of  Stratton  Oakmont's  license in  their  state,  such
investors  will not  be able  to resell  such securities  in such  state through
Stratton Oakmont but  will be required  to retain a  new broker-dealer firm  for
such  purpose. The Company  cannot ensure that other  broker-dealers will make a
market in the Company's securities. In the event that other broker-dealers  fail
to  make a market in  the Company's securities, the  possibility exists that the
market for  and the  liquidity  of the  Company's  securities may  be  adversely
affected  to such an extent that public  security holders may not have anyone to
purchase their securities when offered for sale at any price. In such event, the
market for, and liquidity and prices of the Company's securities may not  exist.
It  should be noted  that although Stratton  Oakmont may not  be the sole market
maker in the Company's  securities, it will most  likely be the dominant  market
maker  in  the  Company's  securities.  In  addition,  in  the  event  that  the
Underwriter's license to do business is  revoked in the states set forth  above,
the  Underwriter  has  advised  the  Company that  the  members  of  the selling
syndicate in  this offering  may  be able  to make  a  market in  the  Company's
securities  in such  states and that  such an  event will not  have a materially
adverse effect on this offering, although no assurance can be made that such  an
event  will not have a  materially adverse effect on  this offering. The Company
has applied to register this offering for  the offer and sale of its  securities
in  the following states: California,  Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, New  York, Rhode Island and Virginia.  The
offer and sale of the securities of this offering are not available in any other
state, absent an exemption from registration. See "Underwriting."

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS, INC. AT 1-800-289-9999.
 
    PAUL CARMICHAEL V. STRATTON OAKMONT.
 
    The Company has  been advised  by Stratton  Oakmont that  Honorable John  E.
Sprizzo,  United States Judge for  the Southern District of  New York, on May 6,
1994 denied  the  class certification  motion  in PAUL  CARMICHAEL  V.  STRATTON
OAKMONT,  INC., ET AL., Civ.  0720 (JES), of the  plaintiff Paul Carmichael. The
class action complaint  alleges manipulation and  fraudulent sales practices  in
connection  with  a number  of  securities. The  allegations  were substantially
similar and  involve much  of the  same time  period as  the Commission's  civil
complaint  (discussed above). The Company has further been informed that counsel
for the  class  action  plaintiff  sought  to  re-argue  the  motion  for  class
certification, which motion for re-argument was denied.
 
    BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
 
    The management of the Company has broad discretion to adjust the application
and  allocation of the  net proceeds of this  offering, including funds received
upon exercise of the Class A Warrants, of which there is no assurance, in  order
to  address  changed  circumstances  and  opportunities.  As  a  result  of  the
foregoing, the success of the Company  will be substantially dependent upon  the
discretion  and judgment of  the management of  the Company with  respect to the
application and  allocation of  the net  proceeds hereof.  Pending use  of  such
proceeds,  the net proceeds of this offering  will be invested by the Company in
temporary, short-term interest-bearing obligations. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
   UNCERTAIN PROTECTION OF PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
 
    In March 1996, the  Company acquired all rights,  title and interest in  the
first  U.S.  patent, U.S.  Patent No.  5,526,353,  for a  system and  method for
communicating high fidelity and  clear transmission of audio  or voice over  the
Internet,   enabling   free   worldwide  transmission   of   ordinary  telephone
communications over the  Internet. The  Company acquired all  rights, title  and
interest in the patent from the inventors, Messrs. Arthur Henley and Scott Grau,
who are original stockholders of the Company, in consideration of a five percent
overriding  royalty  interest against  gross profits  involving  the use  of the
patent. The Company  has agreed  to allocate $1,000,000  of paid  in capital  to
develop and exploit the market opportunities of the patent by December 31, 1996,
or  the patent will be subject to repurchase by the inventors of the patent. The
Company believes  that its  patent is  the  first patent  awarded of  its  kind,
specifically involving the transmission of audio or voice over the Internet. The
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
Company  also  believes  that  its  patent  may  provide  certain  strategic and
technological advantages in the new and  burgeoning area of audio or voice  over
the  Internet. The Company can make no  assurances, however, as to the extent of
the advantages or protection, if  any, that may be granted  to the Company as  a
result of its patent.
 
    The   Company  currently  does  not  have  any  other  patent  or  copyright
applications pending. However,  the Company has  trademark applications  pending
related  to  certain of  its  products and  technologies.  The Company  may file
additional patent, trademark and copyright  applications relating to certain  of
the  Company's products and  technologies. If patents,  trademarks or copyrights
were to be issued, there can be no assurance as to the extent of the  protection
that  will  be  granted to  the  Company as  a  result of  having  such patents,
trademarks or copyrights or that the Company will be able to afford the expenses
of any complex  litigation which  may be  necessary to  enforce its  proprietary
rights.  Failure of the Company's  patents, trademark and copyright applications
may have a material adverse impact on  the Company's business. Except as may  be
required  by the  filing of  patent, trademark  and copyright  applications, the
Company will attempt  to keep all  other proprietary information  secret and  to
take  such actions as may be necessary  to insure the results of its development
activities are not disclosed and are  protected under the common law  concerning
trade secrets. Such steps will include the execution of nondisclosure agreements
by  key Company  personnel and  may also  include the  imposition of restrictive
agreements on purchasers  of the Company's  products and services.  There is  no
assurance that the execution of such agreements will be effective to protect the
Company,  that  the Company  will  be able  to  enforce the  provisions  of such
nondisclosure agreements or  that technology and  other information acquired  by
the  Company pursuant to its development activities will be deemed to constitute
trade secrets by any court of competent jurisdiction.
 
    SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION
 
    Businesses in the  United States  and abroad  that are  engaged in  Internet
technologies,  products  and  services  are  substantial  in  number  and highly
competitive. Many of the companies with which the Company intends to compete are
substantially larger and have substantially greater resources than the  Company.
It  is also likely that other competitors will emerge in the future. The Company
will compete  with  companies  that have  greater  market  recognition,  greater
resources  and broader capabilities than the Company. As a consequence, there is
no assurance  that the  Company will  be  able to  successfully compete  in  the
marketplace. See "Business."
 
    LIMITATION ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY
 
    As  permitted  by  the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law,  the  Company's
Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary  duty
except for liability in four specific instances. These are for (i) any breach of
the  director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or  which involve intentional misconduct or  knowing
violation  of  law,  (iii)  unlawful payments  of  dividends  or  unlawful stock
purchases or redemptions  as provided  in Section  174 of  the Delaware  General
Corporation  Law, or  (iv) any  transaction from  which the  director derived an
improper personal benefit. As  a result of the  Company's charter provision  and
Delaware  law,  stockholders may  have more  limited  rights to  recover against
directors for  breach  of  fiduciary  duty. See  "Management  --  Limitation  on
Liability of Directors."
 
    ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE
 
    There  has been  no prior  public market  for the  Company's securities. The
price to the public of the Units offered hereby has been arbitrarily  determined
by   negotiations  between  the  Company  and   the  Underwriter  and  bears  no
relationship to  the Company's  earnings,  book value  or any  other  recognized
criteria  of value. The  offering price of  $7.00 per Unit  ($3.50 per share) is
substantially in  excess of  the net  tangible  book value  of $.02  per  share,
derived  from the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, and in excess of
the price received  by the Company  for shares sold  in prior transactions.  See

   REQUIREMENTS OF CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION IN
   CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS
 
    The Company will be able to  issue the securities offered hereby, shares  of
its  Common Stock upon the  exercise of the Warrants  and the Underwriters' Unit
Purchase Option  only if  (i) there  is  a current  prospectus relating  to  the
securities  offered hereby under an  effective registration statement filed with
the Securities  and Exchange  Commission, and  (ii) such  Common Stock  is  then
qualified for sale or exempt therefrom under applicable state securities laws of
the  jurisdictions in which the various holders of Warrants reside. Although the
Company intends to maintain  a current registration statement,  there can be  no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in maintaining a current
registration statement. After a registration statement becomes effective, it may
require  updating by the filing of  a post-effective amendment. A post-effective
amendment is required (i) anytime after nine months subsequent to the  Effective
Date  when any  information contained in  the prospectus is  over sixteen months
old; (ii)  when facts  or events  have occurred  which represent  a  fundamental
change in the information contained in the registration statement; or (iii) when
any  material  change  occurs  in  the  information  relating  to  the  plan  or
distribution of the  securities registered by  such registration statement.  The
Company  anticipates that this Registration  Statement will remain effective for
not more than nine months following the  date of this Prospectus or until  April
25, 1997, assuming a post-effective amendment is not filed by the Company, which
may be required. The Company intends to qualify the sale of the Class A Warrants
in  a limited number of states,  although certain exemptions under certain state
securities ("Blue  Sky") laws  may  permit the  Warrants  to be  transferred  to
purchasers  in  states other  than those  in which  the Warrants  were initially
qualified. Qualification for the exercise or sale of the Class A Warrants in the
states is essential for the establishment of a trading market in the securities.
The Company  can  make  no assurances  that  it  will be  able  to  qualify  its
securities  in any state.  The Company will be  prevented, however, from issuing
Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants in those states where exemptions  are
unavailable and the Company has failed to qualify the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants. The Company may decide not to seek, or may not be able
to  obtain qualification  of the  issuance of  such Common  Stock in  all of the
states in which the ultimate purchasers of the Warrants reside. In such a  case,
the  Warrants of those purchasers will expire and have no value if such Warrants
cannot be exercised  or sold. Accordingly,  the market for  the Warrants may  be
limited  because of  the Company's obligation  to fulfill both  of the foregoing
requirements. See "Description of Securities," and "Underwriting."
 
   ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
   MARKET
 
    The Company is authorized  to issue 50,000,000 shares  of its Common  Stock,
$.01  par value. If  all of the  1,000,000 Units offered  hereby are sold, there
will be a  total of 10,000,000  shares of Common  Stock issued and  outstanding.
However,  the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding does
not include the exercise of up to 4,000,000 Class A Warrants and 2,000,000 Class
B Warrants to  purchase up to  6,000,000 shares of  the Company's Common  Stock.
Moreover, the Underwriters have been granted an option to purchase 100,000 Units
in  connection with this offering, which has  been authorized by the Company for
issuance. Also,  this  does  not  include  the  exercise  of  the  Underwriters'
Over-allotment  Option to purchase  up to 150,000 Units  in connection with this
offering, which has been authorized by the Company for issuance. After reserving
a total of 6,500,000 shares  of Common Stock for  issuance upon the exercise  of
all the Warrants, if all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company will have at
least  33,500,000 shares of authorized but  unissued capital stock available for
issuance without  further shareholder  approval. As  a result,  any issuance  of
additional  shares of Common Stock may cause current shareholders of the Company
to suffer significant dilution which  may adversely affect the market.  Pursuant
to   the  terms  of   the  Underwriting  Agreement,   the  Company's  restricted
stockholders and the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer, assign or  issue
any  restricted shares of Common  Stock for a period  of 36 months following the
date of this Prospectus. The sale of a significant number of these shares in the
public market may  adversely affect  prevailing market prices  of the  Company's
securities  following this  offering. See  "Dilution," "Principal Stockholders,"
"Certain Transactions," "Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
    LACK OF PRIOR MARKET FOR SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
 
    No prior  market existed  for the  securities being  offered hereby  and  no
assurance  can be given that a market  will develop subsequent to this offering.
The Underwriter may  make a market  in the  securities of the  Company upon  the
closing  of this offering, but there is  no assurance that it will be successful
in its efforts. See "Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
 
    WARRANTS SUBJECT TO REDEMPTION
 
    The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the date
of this Prospectus ("Effective Date"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the  holder
to  purchase one share of  Common Stock at $4.00 per  share during the four year
period commencing one year from the Effective Date hereof. The Class A  Warrants
are  redeemable by the Company for $.05 per  Warrant, at any time after July 25,
1998, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average closing  price
or bid price of the Common Stock, as reported by the principal exchange on which
the Common Stock is quoted, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the National Quotation
Bureau, Incorporated, as the case may be, equals or exceeds $9.00 per share, for
any  twenty (20) consecutive  trading days within  a period of  thirty (30) days
ending within ten (10) days of the notice of redemption. Upon thirty (30)  days'
prior  written notice to all holders of  the Class A Warrants, the Company shall
have the right to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the term of the  Class
A  Warrants. Redemption of the Warrants will force holders thereof to either (i)
exercise such Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be  less
than  advantageous economically to  do so, or (ii)  accept the redemption price,
which may be substantially  less than the  market value thereof  at the time  of
redemption.   See  "Certain  Transactions,"   "Description  of  Securities"  and
"Underwriting."
 
    The Company  intends to  qualify the  sale of  the securities  in a  limited
number  of states,  although certain  exemptions under  certain state securities
("Blue Sky") laws  may permit the  Warrants to be  transferred to purchasers  in
states  other than  those in  which the  Warrants were  initially qualified. The
Company will be prevented, however, from  issuing Common Stock upon exercise  of
the  Warrants in those  states where exemptions are  unavailable and the Company
has failed to qualify the Common  Stock issuable upon exercise of the  Warrants.
The  Company may decide not to seek, or  may not be able to obtain qualification
of the issuance of such Common Stock in all of the states in which the  ultimate
purchasers  of  the  Warrants  reside.  In  such  case,  the  Warrants  of those
purchasers will expire and have no value if such Warrants cannot be exercised or
sold. Accordingly, the  market for the  Warrants may be  limited because of  the
Company's obligation to fulfill the foregoing requirements.
 
   UNDERWRITER'S INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET MAY HAVE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES
 
    A  significant  number  of  securities  may  be  sold  to  customers  of the
Underwriter. Such customers of the Underwriter of this offering subsequently may
engage in transactions for  the sale or purchase  of such securities through  or
with  the Underwriter.  Although they  have no  legal obligation  to do  so, the
Underwriter from time to time in the future will make a market in and  otherwise
effect  transactions in the Company's securities.  To the extent the Underwriter
acts as marketmaker in the securities, it may be a dominating influence in  that
market.  The  price and  liquidity of  such  securities may  be affected  by the
degree, if any, of the Underwriter's participation in the market, inasmuch as  a
significant  amount  of  such  securities  may  be  sold  to  customers  of  the
Underwriter. Such customers, as customers  of the Underwriter of this  offering,
subsequently  may  engage  in transactions  for  the  sale or  purchase  of such
securities  through  or  with  the   Underwriter,  although  no  agreements   or
understandings,   written  or  oral,  exist  for  such  transactions,  and  such
transactions may further enhance the  Underwriter's dominating influence on  the
market.  Such market making activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any
time or from time to time by the Underwriter without obligation or prior notice.
If a dominating  influence at  such time, the  Underwriter's discontinuance  may
adversely affect the price and liquidity of the securities.
 
    Further,  unless  granted  an  exemption  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission to its Rule 10b-6, the Underwriter may be prohibited from engaging in
any market making  activities with regard  to the Company's  securities for  the
period  from two or nine business days prior to any solicitation of the exercise
of Warrants until the later of the termination of such solicitation activity  or
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
the  termination, by waiver or otherwise, of  any right that the Underwriter may
have to receive a fee for  the exercise of Warrants following the  solicitation.
As  a result, the Underwriter may be unable  to continue to provide a market for
the  Company's  securities  during  certain  periods  while  the  Warrants   are
exercisable,  which  may  adversely  affect  the  price  and  liquidity  of  the
securities.
 
   CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO UNDERWRITER MAY REDUCE PROCEEDS AVAILABLE TO THE
   COMPANY
 
    The Company has also agreed to  pay fees to the Underwriter, aggregating  up
to  five  percent  of the  consideration  involved  in the  transaction,  if the
Underwriter arranges  equity  financing,  debt  financing  and  assistance  with
mergers  and acquisitions,  for the  Company other  than this  offering during a
period of five years after  the date of this  Prospectus, or if the  Underwriter
obtains  or are influential  in increasing any  lines of credit  the Company may
have, provided such financing or increase is accepted by the Company. Such  fees
will  reduce the amount of proceeds available to the Company from such financing
or line of credit. Further, in addition to an ten percent underwriting discount,
the Company has  also agreed  to pay  the Underwriter  a nonaccountable  expense
allowance  of three percent of the gross proceeds of this offering, as well as a
fee of four percent of the exercise price of the Warrants, if certain conditions
are met. To the extent the foregoing  compensation is paid from the proceeds  of
this  offering, the amounts  available to the  Company, will be  reduced. On the
closing date, the Company will sell to  the Underwriter for a purchase price  of
$100,  an option to purchase 100,000 Units at 165% of the initial offering price
of $7.00 per  Unit, or  $11.55 per  Unit, on the  date of  this Prospectus.  See
"Underwriting."
 
   EXERCISE OF CLASS A WARRANTS MAY HAVE DILUTIVE EFFECT ON MARKET
 
    The Class A Warrants will provide, during their term, an opportunity for the
holder  to  profit  from a  rise  in the  market  price,  of which  there  is no
assurance, with resulting dilution in the ownership interest in the Company held
by the then  present stockholders.  Holders of  the Warrants  most likely  would
exercise  the Warrants and purchase  the underlying Common Stock  at a time when
the Company may be  able to obtain  capital by a new  offering of securities  on
terms  more favorable than those  provided by such Warrants,  in which event the
terms on which the  Company may be  able to obtain  additional capital would  be
affected adversely. See "Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
 
   "PENNY STOCK" REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY OF
   SECURITIES
 
   
    The   Securities   and  Exchange   Commission  ("Commission")   has  adopted
regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security  that
has  a market price (as defined) less than  $5.00 per share or an exercise price
of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Upon  authorization
of  the securities offered hereby for  quotation on Nasdaq, such securities will
initially be exempt from the definition of "penny stock." On July 26, 1996,  the
Company  was  advised  by  the  Nasdaq  Hearing  and  Review  Committee ("Review
Committee") that it called for the review of the decision of the Nasdaq  Listing
Qualifications  Committee  ("Qualifications  Committee") to  list  the Company's
securities on  Nasdaq. On  July 28,  1996, the  Review Committee  determined  to
reverse the July 24, 1996 decision of the Qualifications Committee approving the
listing  of  the  Company's securities  on  Nasdaq,  stating no  basis  for such
determination. The determination of  the Review Committee  is not final  pending
the  review and decision of  the boards of directors  ("Boards of Directors") of
The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and NASD, Inc., which may occur in the near  term.
In  the  event  the  Boards  of  Directors  renders  a  decision  to  affirm the
determination of the Review Committee, the Company's securities will be delisted
from Nasdaq and the Company's securities will be traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin
Board, which may materially  affect the trading and  liquidity of the  Company's
securities.  If the securities offered hereby are removed from listing by Nasdaq
at any time following  the Effective Date, the  Company's securities may  become
subject   to  rules  that  impose  additional  sales  practice  requirements  on
broker-dealers who  sell  such  securities to  persons  other  than  established
customers  and accredited  investors (generally those  with assets  in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with  their
spouse).  For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the  purchase of such securities and  have
received  the  purchaser's  written  consent to  the  transaction  prior  to the
purchase. Additionally,  for any  transaction involving  a penny  stock,  unless
exempt, the rules
    
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
require  the delivery, prior  to the transaction, of  a risk disclosure document
mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer
also must disclose  the commissions payable  to both the  broker-dealer and  the
registered  representative, current  quotations for  the securities  and, if the
broker-dealer is the  sole market-maker,  the broker-dealer  must disclose  this
fact  and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly
statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny  stock
held  in the  account and  information on  the limited  market in  penny stocks.
Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to sell the  Company's securities and  may affect the  ability of purchasers  in
this Offering to sell the Company's securities in the secondary market.
 
    The Company has applied for inclusion of the Units, Common Stock and Class A
Warrants  on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System ("Nasdaq"), although there can be
no assurances that an active trading market will develop, even if the securities
are accepted  for  quotation.  Additionally, if  the  Company's  securities  are
accepted  for quotation and active trading  develops, the Company is required to
maintain certain minimum criteria established by  Nasdaq, of which there can  be
no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to fulfill such criteria.
The  Company has been advised that  the Company's securities offered hereby will
be listed on  Nasdaq upon  the Effective Date  of this  offering. Generally,  to
qualify  for a Nasdaq listing, the Company must have $4 million in total assets,
$2 million in total stockholders' equity and 300 or more shareholders of record.
The Company believes that it will  meet these minimum criteria upon the  closing
of this offering, but no assurances can be made that the Company will be able to
satisfy  the  criteria  to maintain  its  listing.  Should the  Company  fail to
maintain  its  listing,  the  Company's   securities  will  be  traded  in   the
over-the-counter  market on the  Electronic Bulletin Board  as maintained by the
National Quotation  Bureau,  Incorporated,  which  may  pose  for  the  investor
potentially  greater  difficulty  in  purchasing  and/or  selling  the Company's
securities.
 
    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET
 
    All of  the  Company's currently  outstanding  shares of  Common  Stock  are
"restricted  securities" and,  in the future,  may be sold  upon compliance with
Rule 144,  adopted  under the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as amended.  Rule  144
provides, in essence, that a person holding "restricted securities" for a period
of  two years may sell only an amount every three months equal to the greater of
(a) one  percent of  the Company's  issued and  outstanding shares,  or (b)  the
average  weekly volume  of sales  during the  four calendar  weeks preceding the
sale. The  amount  of "restricted  securities"  which a  person  who is  not  an
affiliate  of the Company  may sell is  not so limited,  since nonaffiliates may
sell without volume  limitation their shares  held for three  years if there  is
adequate  current public information available  concerning the Company. Upon the
sale of the securities, and assuming that there is no exercise of any issued and
outstanding Warrants,  the Company  will have  10,000,000 shares  of its  common
stock  issued and  outstanding, of  which 8,000,000  shares will  be "restricted
securities." Therefore, during  each three  month period,  beginning January  9,
1997,  a holder of restricted securities who has  held them for at least the two
year period may sell  under Rule 144  a number of shares  up to 100,000  shares.
Non-affiliated  persons who hold  for the three-year  period described above may
sell unlimited shares once their holding period is met. Pursuant to the terms of
the Underwriting Agreement, the  officers, directors and principal  stockholders
of  the Company  and the Company  have agreed  not to sell,  transfer, assign or
issue any securities of the Company for a period of 36 months following the date
of this Prospectus.  The sale of  a significant  number of these  shares in  the
public  market may  adversely affect prevailing  market prices  of the Company's
securities following this  offering. See  "Dilution," "Principal  Stockholders,"
"Certain Transactions," "Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
 
    Prospective  investors should be aware that the possibility of sales may, in
the future, have a depressive effect on the price of the Company's Common  Stock
in  any market which may develop and,  therefore, the ability of any investor to
market his shares may be dependent directly  upon the number of shares that  are
offered  and sold.  Affiliates of  the Company  may sell  their shares  during a
favorable movement in the market price  of the Company's Common Stock which  may
have   a  depressive  effect  on  its  price  per  share.  See  "Description  of
Securities."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    After deducting underwriting discounts of $700,000 and other expenses of the
offering  estimated  to   be  $1,000,000,  which   includes  the   Underwriter's
nonaccountable  expense  allowance of  $210,000, assuming  an offering  price of
$7.00 per  Unit, the  Company will  receive net  proceeds from  the offering  of
approximately  $5,300,000. These proceeds, excluding the  exercise of any of the
Warrants, will be utilized in order of  priority by the Company as listed  below
for approximately 12 months substantially as follows:

- ------------------------
(1) The   officers  and  employees  of  the   Company  also  intend  to  receive
    remuneration as part of  an overall group  insurance plan providing  health,
    life  and disability  insurance benefits for  employees of  the Company. The
    amount  allocable  to  each  individual  officer  and  employee  cannot   be
    specifically  or precisely ascertained,  but, in any  event, will not exceed
    $25,000 per annum as to each  individual. The officers and directors of  the
    Company  also will receive significant compensation  in the form of salaries
    and director fees, respectively. See "Management -- Remuneration."
 
(2) Includes annual general and  administrative employee salaries, exclusive  of
    management   salaries,   associated  benefits,   related  office   rent  and
    miscellaneous office expenses.
 
(3) Includes annual  salaries for  software and  engineering support  personnel.
    Also, includes approximately $500,000 for product development related to the
    Company's  commitment to allocate $1,000,000 of capital by December 31, 1996
    to develop and exploit  the market opportunities of  the patent acquired  in
    March 1996.
 
(4) The  Company  intends to  purchase and/or  lease certain  additional capital
    equipment including,  but  not  limited to,  engineering  and  manufacturing
    equipment,  computer hardware/software and  systems, telephone and facsimile
    systems, security systems and office equipment and furniture.
 
(5) The amount  allocated  by  the  Company for  marketing  and  sales  includes
    marketing   materials,  advertising,  business   travel  and  a  significant
    expansion of its  marketing and  sales staff.  Also, includes  approximately
    $500,000  for marketing  and sales  related to  the Company's  commitment to
    allocate $1,000,000 of capital by December  31, 1996 to develop and  exploit
    the market opportunities of the patent acquired in March 1996.
 
(6) Following  the closing of this offering, the  Company intends to engage in a
    mergers and  acquisitions  campaign  in  order  to  merge  with  or  acquire
    complementary companies in the $10 million to $25 million revenue range. The
    Company  has not entered into  any negotiations, agreements, arrangements or
    understandings with respect to  the merger with or  acquisition of any  such
    target  companies,  or has  any such  agreement  or understandings  with any
    brokers or finders regarding same. The  Company can make no assurances  that
    it will be able to merge with or acquire any companies. Although the Company
    intends  to utilize not  more than $500,000 in  its mergers and acquisitions
    activities during the 12  months following the date  of this Prospectus,  no
    assurances can be made that such funds will enable the Company to expand its
    base  or realize profitable consolidated  operations. Whenever possible, the
    Company intends to issue its securities rather
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
    than use such cash funds to consummate a merger or acquisition. The  ability
    of  the Company to engage in a  mergers and acquisitions campaign in view of
    the Company's resources is uncertain. Should  such funds not be utilized  in
    its  mergers and acquisitions activities, the Company intends to utilize the
    funds in equal amounts in capital equipment and marketing and sales.
 
(7) Working capital will be utilized by  the Company to enhance and,  otherwise,
    stabilize cash flow during the initial 12 months of operations following the
    closing of this offering, such that any shortfalls between cash generated by
    operating  revenues and costs  will be covered  by working capital. Although
    the Company prefers to  retain its working capital  in reserve, the  Company
    may be required to expend part or all of these proceeds as financial demands
    dictate.
 
    Although it is uncertain that the Company's shares of Common Stock will rise
to a level at which the Warrants would be exercised, in the event subscribers in
this  offering elect to exercise  all of the Warrants  herein (not including the
Underwriter's Over-allotment Option or  the Underwriter's Purchase Option),  the
Company  will  realize gross  proceeds  of approximately  $8,000,000. Management
anticipates that  the  proceeds from  the  exercise  of the  Warrants  would  be
contributed  to working capital of the  Company. Nonetheless, the Company may at
the time of exercise allocate a portion  of the proceeds to any other  corporate
purposes.  Accordingly, investors who exercise their Warrants will entrust their
funds to management, whose specific intentions  regarding the use of such  funds
are not presently and specifically known.
 
    The  Company is unable to predict the precise period for which this offering
will provide financing,  although management  believes that  the Company  should
have  sufficient working capital to meet its cash requirements for the 12 months
period following the date of this offering. Accordingly, the Company may need to
seek additional funds through loans or other financing arrangements during  this
period  of time.  No such arrangements  exist or are  currently contemplated and
there can be no  assurance that they  may be obtained in  the future should  the
need arise.
 
    Pending  utilization, management intends to make temporary investment of the
proceeds in  bank certificates  of deposit,  interest-bearing savings  accounts,
prime commercial paper or federal government securities.

                                    DILUTION
 
    As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a pro forma net tangible book value of
$1,152,809  or $.14 per  share, derived from  the Company's balance  sheet as of
March 31, 1996 and the total common stock outstanding at March 31, 1996 and  the
issuances in April 1996 related to the bridge financing and certain other equity
transactions  in June 1996. Net tangible book value per share means the tangible
assets of the Company, less all liabilities, divided by the number of shares  of
Common  Stock outstanding. After giving effect to  the sale of the Units offered
hereby at an assumed price of $7.00 per Unit, or $3.50 per share of Common Stock
after deducting  underwriting discounts  and  estimated offering  expenses,  pro
forma  net tangible book value would have been $6,452,809 or $.65 per share. The
result will be an  immediate increase in  net tangible book  value per share  of
$.51  (364%) to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution to new investors
of $2.85 (81%) per share.  As a result, public investors  will bear most of  the
risk  of loss  since their  shares are being  purchased at  a cost substantially
above the price that existing shareholders acquired their shares. "Dilution"  is
determined  by subtracting net tangible book  value per share after the offering
from the  offering price  to  investors. The  following table  illustrates  this
dilution assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option:

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
    Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as and
if declared by the Board of  Directors out of funds legally available  therefor.
The  Company does not anticipate the declaration  or payment of any dividends in
the foreseeable  future. The  Company intends  to retain  earnings, if  any,  to
finance  the development and  expansion of its  business. Future dividend policy
will be  subject  to the  discretion  of the  Board  of Directors  and  will  be
contingent  upon  future earnings,  if any,  the Company's  financial condition,
capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.  Therefore,
there  can be no assurance that  any dividends of any kind  will ever be paid by
the Company.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
PLAN OF OPERATION
 
    e-Net, Inc. ("Company"), develops, markets and supports open client,  server
and   integrated  applications   software  that  enables   local,  national  and
international telephone communications, information  exchange and commerce  over
the  Internet  and  private  Internet Protocol  ("IP")  networks.  The Company's
software products  allow individuals  and organizations  to execute  secure,  or
private,   voice  communications  across  the   Internet,  through  the  use  of
authentication technology,  for  local,  national  and  international  telephone
communications,  information exchange and commerce. In addition, through the use
of the Company's software, organizations  can extend their internal  information
systems  and  enterprise  applications to  geographically  dispersed facilities,
remote offices and mobile  employees. A number of  companies, some with  greater
resources  than  the  Company,  manufacture similar  system  products  which may
compete with  the  Company's  products.  See "Risk  Factors"  and  "Business  --
Competition."
 
    In  March 1996, the  Company acquired all  rights title and  interest in the
first U.S.  patent, U.S.  Patent No.  5,526,353,  for a  system and  method  for
communicating  high fidelity and  clear transmission of audio  or voice over the
Internet, enabling  free  worldwide  high fidelity  and  clear  transmission  of
ordinary  telephone communications over  the Internet. The  Company acquired all
rights, title and  interest in  the patent  from the  inventors, Messrs.  Arthur
Henley  and  Scott  Grau,  who  are original  stockholders  of  the  Company, in
consideration of a five percent overriding royalty interest against gross profit
involving the use of the patent.  The Company has agreed to allocate  $1,000,000
of paid in capital to develop and exploit the market opportunities of the patent
by  December  31, 1996,  or  the patent  will be  subject  to repurchase  by the
inventors of  the patent.  The Company  believes that  its patent  is the  first
patent  awarded of its kind, specifically involving the transmission of audio or
voice over the Internet. The Company  also believes that its patent may  provide
certain strategic and technological advantages in the new and burgeoning area of
audio  or voice over the Internet. The  Company can make no assurances, however,
as to the extent of the advantages or protection, if any, that may be granted to
the Company  as  a  result  of its  patent.  See  "Business,"  "Management"  and
"Financial Statements."
 
    The Company's operations to date have concentrated on continuing development
of  its  technologies, products  and  services, establishing  acceptance  of its
software products in the telecommunications industry, providing services to  its
existing  customer base, and  securing financing necessary  to fund development,
operations, and expansion of its business. The Company's products include:
 
    TELECOM-2000-TM-
 
    e-Net's Telecom-2000  product  is based  on  the patent  rights  acquisition
described  above  and  consists  of  voice/data  integration  and authentication
protocol,  voice  packetization  software,  prototype  interfaces  to   Ethernet
telephony   hardware,  address  resolution  and   call  handling  software,  and
interfaces to  the  traditional telephone  network  through a  PC,  or  personal
computer. The Telecom-2000 is designed to allow individuals and organizations to
execute  secure, or private,  voice communications across  the Internet, such as
local,  national  and  international   telephone  communications.  Due  to   the
economical   and  highly   scalable  architecture  that   e-Net  has  developed,
Telecom-2000 can be utilized for integrated data and telephony communications in
very small offices, enterprise networks, national reseller networks and for  the
consumer.  The product is in  the final test stages  of its initial development,
and the Company believes the product will be ready for release by the end of the
Company's third quarter of fiscal  1997. Depending on the precise  configuration
and  volume,  the  Company intends  to  offer  the Telecom-2000  at  a  price of
approximately $750 per unit,  which includes a one  year warranty and  technical
service, training and support.
 
    INTELLICD-TM-
 
    The  IntelliCD product was  developed by e-Net  to meet a  strategic need of
Sprint. Sprint's  larger customers  have  reported a  critical need  to  receive
monthly  billing  information (call  detail  reports) in  an  easily accessible,
computer acceptable input format,  which would allow  direct access, search  and
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
retrieval  to meet  a wide variety  of requirements. The  CD-ROM medium provides
rapid access to  data, uses  ubiquitous PC  equipment for  access, and  requires
minimal  storage  requirements.  The  e-Net  approach  includes  the  design and
development of an ergonomic, SQL-based search and retrieval software engine that
permits users with  little knowledge  of data  processing to  easily define  and
generate  a wide variety of searches  and reports. Since e-Net's software design
is  highly  generalized,  the  IntelliCD  process  is  readily  adapted  to  any
requirement  involving  repeated use  of large  volume, non-volatile  data sets.
Depending on precise configuration and volume, the Company offers the  IntelliCD
at  a price of approximately  $300 per unit, which  includes a one year warranty
and technical service,  training and  support. At  March 31,  1996, the  Company
realized  $74,500 in sales of  the IntelliCD product, representing approximately
25 percent of its total sales.
 
    E-NET NMS-TM-
 
    The e-Net Network Management  System ("e-Net NMS")  is a proprietary  expert
systems-based,  user  friendly,  object-oriented network  and  system management
product that is offered  by the Company. Through  the introduction of  automated
problem,  configuration,  accounting, performance  and security  management, the
Company's e-Net NMS product provides  corporate and government enterprises  with
flexibility  for the management of global telephone and data networks, including
networks connected by the Internet. The e-Net NMS product also provides  network
traffic  optimization  and  re-routing,  real-time  configuration  and  database
management, generation of all needed  reports, and system failure detection  and
prediction.  Depending on precise  configuration and volume,  the Company offers
the e-Net  NMS product  at a  price  of approximately  $60,000 per  unit,  which
includes  a one  year warranty and  technical service, training  and support. At
March 31, 1996, the Company realized $43,000 in sales of the e-Net NMS  product,
representing approximately 15 percent of its total sales.
 
    DEBITBILL-TM-
 
    The  telephone debit card business has experienced strong growth in response
to customer acceptance and  increasing demand. e-Net's  experience with its  own
proprietary debit billing card product, called DebitBill-TM-, has indicated that
there may be significant market demand for this technology, although the Company
can  make no assurances of the extent of  any demand. The Company intends to use
its current  market position  to sell  its debit  card product  to the  Internet
service  delivery  market.  DebitBill-TM-  interfaces  with  standard  telephone
switches and related accounting management software to identify the customer and
to record and manage amounts owed.  The Company believes that DebitBill-TM-  may
be a significant product in its suite of products because of the ease-of-use and
cash  flow  implications of  this  technology. e-Net  has  specifically designed
DebitBill-TM- for the  Internet and  private IP networks.  Depending on  precise
configuration  and volume, the Company has recently begun to offer the DebitBill
product at a price of approximately $60,000 per unit, which includes a one  year
warranty  and technical  service, training and  support. At March  31, 1996, the
Company has not realized any sales of this product.
 
    SERVICES
 
    In addition to the products listed above, e-Net provides technology services
to its customers in a number of  other areas. The Company has made a  commitment
to  provide timely, high quality technical support  to meet the diverse needs of
its customers  and  partners and  to  facilitate the  adoption  and use  of  its
technologies,  products  and  services. These  services  include  e-Net Helpdesk
support, consulting on software programming  and network management systems  and
training.  At March 31, 1996, the Company  realized $176,376 in sales related to
its technology support  services, representing approximately  60 percent of  its
total sales.
 
    The  Company's  plans  for the  next  fiscal year  center  around continuing
efforts  to  complete  the  first  phase  development  and  test  marketing   of
Telecom-2000. Management believes that the market for such a product is only now
being  defined and customers are  waiting for a product  which can deliver voice
quality equivalent to existing telephony at a reduced cost. While no  assurances
can  be  made  of  Telecom-2000's success,  management  believes  this product's
potential in the marketplace  may be significant. To  date, no installations  of
Telecom-2000  have been sold.  As a result, the  Company's operating results may
fluctuate significantly based upon future sales.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
    The Company  also intends  to continue  internal development  of  additional
versions  of  Telecom-2000,  as  well as,  other  software  products. Management
believes that, as  the market  matures, different market  segments will  require
slightly  modified versions of  its Telecom-2000. Management  also believes that
additional software product requirements will  be recognized while working  with
its  customers and  installing its existing  products or  providing its existing
expert services.
 
    Following the closing of this offering,  the Company intends to engage in  a
mergers   and  acquisitions  campaign   in  order  to   merge  with  or  acquire
complementary companies in  the $10 million  to $25 million  revenue range.  The
Company  has  not entered  into  any negotiations,  agreements,  arrangements or
understandings with respect to the merger with or acquisition of any such target
companies, or  has any  such agreement  or understandings  with any  brokers  or
finders  regarding same. The Company can make no assurances that it will be able
to merge with or acquire any companies. Although the Company intends to  utilize
not  more than $500,000 in its mergers and acquisitions activities during the 12
months following the  date of this  Prospectus, no assurances  can be made  that
such  funds will  enable the  Company to expand  its base  or realize profitable
consolidated operations. Whenever  possible, the  Company intends  to issue  its
securities   rather  than  use  such  cash  funds  to  consummate  a  merger  or
acquisition. The ability of the Company to engage in a mergers and  acquisitions
campaign  in view of the Company's resources is uncertain. Should such funds not
be utilized in its mergers and  acquisitions activities, the Company intends  to
utilize the funds in equal amounts in capital equipment and marketing and sales.
 
    The  Company's objective is to market and distribute its products worldwide,
in  part  by   disseminating  its   products  through   multiple  national   and
international  distribution channels. However,  there can be  no assurances that
the Company will be able  to meet this objective.  The Company has designed  its
distribution  strategy  to address  the particular  requirements of  its diverse
institutional and individual target customers. The Company's direct distribution
efforts will consist of a direct sales force and telesales as well as  marketing
directly  VIA the e-Net  home page on  the Internet. The  Company's products are
currently distributed  indirectly through  OEMs, systems  integrators, VARs  and
software retailers.
 
    As  described  in Note  B to  the Financial  Statements, the  Company issued
1,000,000 bridge units, comprising 2,000,000  shares of Common Stock,  2,000,000
Class A Warrants, and 2,000,000 Class B Warrants as additional consideration for
a  bridge loan of $1,000,000,  the proceeds of which  were received in March and
April 1996. In June  1996, however, the bridge  loan principal was converted  to
paid in capital and accounted for as consideration paid for the 1,000,000 bridge
units.  In addition  to the payment  of interest of  8% per annum  on the bridge
loan, interest expense of $6,000,000 related to the issuance of the bridge units
will be  accrued during  the  period from  the date  of  each loan  through  the
effective  date of this offering and a  corresponding credit will be credited to
paid in capital; of this amount $614,865 has been accrued as of March 31, 1996.
 
    In addition,  operating  results for  the  year  ended March  31,  1997  and
thereafter,  will  be  negatively  impacted  by  the  expenditure  of  funds for
continuing development of the Company's technologies, products and services.

    PERIOD FROM BEGINNING OF OPERATIONS (JUNE 8, 1995) TO MARCH 31, 1996
 
    The Company reported sales for the period of $293,876. For the period ending
March 31, 1996, the Company derived 32% (Sprint), 29% (Comsat), 16% (First  Data
Resources)  and 13% (Documenta) of its  sales from four customers, respectively.
The sales is attributable  to its three main  business areas: sales of  software
products,  integration and support of software products, integration and support
of enterprise computer networks. The cost of product sales and service  consists
of  salaries and wages, support  costs and other expenses.  The gross margin for
its products and services was approximately 70% of sales.
 
    The  Company  reported  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  of
$115,171  which consisted of  salaries of officer  and employees, support costs,
legal fees,  the cost  of  product development  charged  to expense  during  the
period, and other administrative expenses.
 
                                       25

    Interest and financing charges were $621,749 including an interest charge of
$614,865   associated  with   the  issuance   of  bridge   units  as  additional
consideration for a $500,000 bridge loan  originating in March 1996, as well  as
interest on loans from the president of the Company.
 
INCOME TAXES
    As  a result of operating losses  generated during the period from beginning
of operations (June 8, 1995) to March 31, 1996, the Company has no income  taxes
due.  Currently, the Company maintains  a tax year ending  on December 31, while
its fiscal year ends on March 31. The  Company is also able to file its  returns
using the cash basis method of accounting.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES, LIQUIDITY AND BACKLOG
    The  Company has a cash balance available to fund operations as of March 31,
1996, since $500,000  of the  $1,000,000 in  bridge financing  had already  been
received  at that time. The Company believes  that these funds are sufficient to
continue operations until the closing of  this offering. The Company is also  in
the  process of establishing  a credit facility  to provide additional financing
for equipment purchases and for service and support contract operations funding.
The Underwriter  is playing  no role  in the  Company's efforts  to establish  a
credit  facility.  No assurance  can be  given  as the  ultimate success  of the
Company in establishing such a facility.
 
    The Company received $500,000 in March 1996 and $500,000 in April 1996 under
bridge loan transactions wherein the  Company issued 1,000,000 units (each  unit
consisting  of two shares of Common Stock, two  Class A Warrants and two Class B
Warrants) as additional financing costs  in consideration for making the  loans.
However, such loans were converted to paid in capital in June 1996 and accounted
for  as consideration  paid for  the bridge  units. See  "Certain Transactions,"
"Description of Securities" and "Selling Security-holders."
 
    In addition to the  loan proceeds received  in March and  April 1996, it  is
anticipated  that the  Company will  raise approximately  $5,300,000 through its
proposed initial public offering of securities. These funds are intended to fund
continuing operations,  including  its administrative  expenses  and  management
compensation,  as well as retire the bridge loan debt. The Company believes that
the proceeds from the bridge loans and this offering will be sufficient to  meet
its  cash  flow needs  for the  12-month  period following  the closing  of this
offering.
 
    The  Company's  commitments  currently  include  an  agreement  to  allocate
$1,000,000  of capital by  December 31, 1996  to develop and  exploit the market
opportunities of  the patent  acquired in  March  1996, or  the patent  will  be
subject  to repurchase by the inventors of  the patent. In addition, the Company
is also committed under an employment agreement effective April 1, 1996 with  an
officer  which calls for an annual salary  and bonus of $262,500. Other than the
lease commitment  described below,  the Company  has no  other significant  firm
commitments.
 
    The  Company  leases  approximately  1,500  square  feet  for  its principal
executive offices  located at  7-4  Metropolitan Court,  Gaithersburg,  Maryland
20878.  The Company also  leases approximately 1,500  square feet for additional
operational facilities located at 12325 Hymeadow Drive, Austin, Texas 78750. The
Company intends to expand its facilities  to 3,000 square feet at each  facility
following the closing of this offering. Base rental for the current premises are
approximately  $1,900 and $1,200 per month, respectively. The lease requires the
Company to  pay  certain property  taxes  and certain  operating  expenses.  The
Company  believes that its  current and anticipated  facilities are suitable and
adequate for its operations.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
    The Company  does not  believe that  inflation has  had a  material  adverse
effect  on sales or income  since its inception. Increases  in supplies or other
operating costs  may adversely  affect the  Company's operations;  however,  the
Company  believes  it  may increase  prices  of its  technologies,  products and
services to offset increases in costs of goods sold or other operating costs.
 
TECHNOLOGY CHANGES
    Based on  its limited  experience to  date, the  Company believes  that  its
future  operating  results may  be subject  to quarterly  variations based  on a
variety of factors, including technology changes and advances, especially in the
Internet. Such effects may  not be apparent in  the Company's operating  results
during  a period of expansion. However, the  Company can make no assurances that
its business can be significantly expanded under any circumstances.

OVERVIEW
 
    e-Net,   Inc.  develops,  markets  and  supports  open  client,  server  and
integrated applications software that enables local, national and  international
telephone  communications, information  exchange and commerce  over the Internet
and private Internet Protocol ("IP")  networks. The Company's software  products
are  designed to deliver high  levels of performance, ease  of use and security.
These software products allow individuals  and organizations to execute  secure,
private,   voice  communications  across  the   Internet,  through  the  use  of
authentication technology,  for  local,  national  and  international  telephone
communications,  information exchange and commerce. In addition, through the use
of the Company's software, organizations  can extend their internal  information
systems  and  enterprise  applications to  geographically  dispersed facilities,
remote offices and mobile employees.
 
    In March 1996, the  Company acquired all rights,  title and interest in  the
first  U.S.  patent, U.S.  Patent  No. 5,526,353  for  a system  and  method for
communicating high fidelity and  clear transmission of audio  or voice over  the
Internet,  enabling  free  worldwide  high fidelity  and  clear  transmission of
ordinary telephone communications  over the Internet.  The Company acquired  all
rights,  title and  interest in  the patent  from the  inventors, Messrs. Arthur
Henley and  Scott  Grau,  who  are original  stockholders  of  the  Company,  in
consideration  of  a  five  percent overriding  royalty  interest  against gross
profits involving the  use of  the patent. The  Company has  agreed to  allocate
$1,000,000  of capital to  develop and exploit the  market opportunities for the
patent by December 31, 1996, or the patent will be subject to repurchase by  the
inventors  of the  patent. The  Company believes  that its  patent is  the first
patent awarded of its kind, specifically involving the transmission of audio  or
voice  over the Internet. The Company also  believes that its patent may provide
certain strategic and technological advantages in the new and burgeoning area of
audio or voice over the Internet.  The Company can make no assurances,  however,
as to the extent of the advantages or protection, if any, that may be granted to
the Company as a result of its patent. The Company's first product utilizing its
patent  is Telecom-2000-TM-,  a hardware and  software suite  designed for voice
over the Internet,  which is  in the  final testing  stage and  projected to  be
available to market by the end of the Company's third quarter of fiscal 1997.
 
    In  March 1996, e-Net  entered into an  agreement with Sprint Communications
Company, L.P.  ("Sprint"), a  leading  telecommunications company,  under  which
e-Net  will  deliver  certain  software  development  services  known  as Sprint
Internet Protocol Dial Services support. Sprint, to date, has been the Company's
largest customer. Under the agreement, e-Net will use highly technical  software
development  services to provide security and  field support to Sprint customers
who use Sprint as a means of accessing the Internet. e-Net's agreement  provides
that  e-Net will  generate all  of the  revenues associated  with the  number of
authorized Sprint  Internet Protocol  Dial Service  user identity  codes.  e-Net
shall  also perform password administration, customer service administration and
emergency help  desk  administration  under  the terms  of  the  agreement.  The
agreement  has a duration of one year, with automatic one year renewals, subject
to mutual consent. e-Net intends to seek additional strategic alliances with the
Regional Bell  Operating Companies  (RBOC's) for  the use  of its  technologies,
products  and services.  The Company  has not  entered into  any negotiations to
enter into any  strategic alliances  with the RBOC's.  The Company  can make  no
assurances  that it will be able to enter into any agreements with such concerns
for its technologies, products and services.
 
    Also, in June 1996, e-Net entered into  a letter of intent with the  Product
Management  Group of the Advanced Data Services Division of Sprint to enter into
an agreement to provide certain  of e-Net's technologies, products and  services
to  Sprint  to  enable  Sprint's  frame  relay  customers,  approximately  1,500
nationwide, to generate  network data reports  on an automated  basis for  their
virtual  private networks. The  Company can make  no assurances that  it will be
able to enter into an agreement  with Sprint for its technologies, products  and
services.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
 
    INTERNET
 
    The  Internet is a global web of  computer networks. Developed over 25 years
ago, this "network of networks" allows any computer attached to the Internet  to
talk  to any other  using the Internet Protocol.  The Internet has traditionally
been subsidized by  the U.S.  federal government.  As the  number of  commercial
entities  that rely on the Internet for business communications and commerce has
increased, the  level of  federal subsidies  has significantly  diminished,  and
funding  for  the Internet  infrastructure and  backbone operations  has shifted
primarily to the  private sector.  Further, the Internet  has historically  been
used  by  academic  institutions, defense  contractors  and  government agencies
primarily for remote  access to  host computers  and for  sending and  receiving
e-mail.
 
    Further,  individuals  are  connecting  directly  to  the  Internet  through
Internet access  services such  as those  provided by  MCI, NETCOM,  Performance
Systems  International, Inc.  ("PSI"), and  UUNET Technologies,  Inc. ("UUNET").
These services are growing as  easy-to-use software packages make accessing  the
Internet  as easy as getting  onto the popular online  services. To compete with
these direct  Internet  access  providers, consumer  online  services  including
America  Online,  Inc.  ("AOL"), CompuServe,  Inc.  ("CompuServe"),  and Prodigy
Services Co.  ("Prodigy"), have  also introduced  Internet access  gateways  for
their existing subscribers. With these gateways, the online services effectively
become large Internet "on-ramps," bringing large numbers of subscribers onto the
Internet.
 
    WORLD WIDE WEB
 
    Much  of the recent growth in Internet use by businesses and individuals has
been driven by the emergence of  a network of servers and information  available
on  the  Internet  called  the World  Wide  Web  ("Web"). The  Web,  based  on a
client/server  model  and  a  set  of  standards  for  information  access   and
navigation,  can be accessed  using software that  allows non-technical users to
exploit the  capabilities  of the  Internet.  The  Web enables  users  to  find,
retrieve and link information on the Internet in a consistent way that makes the
underlying  complexities  transparent  to  the  user.  Electronic  documents are
published on Web servers  in a common format  described by the Hypertext  Markup
Language  ("HTML"). Web client software can  retrieve these documents across the
Internet by making requests using a standard protocol called Hypertext  Transfer
Protocol  ("HTTP"). The  first Web client  (or "browser") with  a graphical user
interface to utilize these  protocols was NCSA Mosaic,  first released in  April
1993 by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of
Illinois ("NCSA").
 
    The proliferation of Web clients has created significant demand for software
to enable Internet servers and private servers on corporate networks to function
as  Web servers. These servers are used by organizations to offer their products
and services on the Internet and to publish confidential company information  to
employees  inside the enterprise. Web usage is  expected to be further fueled by
advances in  Web  client,  server  and application  software,  in  concert  with
technological   developments   that  drive   cost  reductions   and  performance
enhancements.
 
    INTERNET COMMERCE
 
    The Internet  provides  organizations  and individuals  with  new  means  to
conduct  business. Commercial uses of  the Internet include business-to-business
and   business-to-consumer   transactions,   product   marketing,   advertising,
entertainment,  electronic publishing, electronic services and customer support.
The Internet offers a  new and powerful medium  for traditional retail and  mail
order  businesses  to target  and  manage a  wider  customer base  more rapidly,
economically and productively. The Company  believes that only a small  fraction
of this retail business is currently conducted electronically. Another important
application  for Internet  commerce is electronic  publishing through advertiser
supported  and  fee-based  Internet   services.  Electronic  publishing   offers
substantial  savings as  compared to publishing  on paper or  computer discs. In
addition, Web software permits the publishing of audio files and video clips  as
well as text and graphical data.
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
    In  addition to retailers and publishers, other new businesses are appearing
on the  Web as  it provides  access  to a  growing base  of home,  business  and
education customers. Business information providers such as Dow Jones & Company,
Inc.,  Individual, Inc. and Reuters Ltd.  have started customizing news services
on  the  Web.  Financial  service  institutions  are  providing  online  banking
information,  stock  information  and  trading  services.  Examples  of  popular
consumer   information    services   recently    introduced   include    ESPNet,
Knight-Ridder's  Mercury  Center  and  Sportsline  U.S.A.  Companies  from  many
industries are  publishing  product and  company  information to  their  channel
partners  and  customers,  providing  customer  support  via  the  Web, allowing
customers to immediately buy products  online, and collecting customer  feedback
and demographic information interactively.
 
    APPLICATIONS
 
    As  an increasing number  of organizations provide  their employees with Web
access from their desktops, an opportunity is emerging for internal  information
systems and enterprise applications hosted on internal Web servers. The Internet
enables   organizations  to  extend  their   internal  information  systems  and
enterprise applications to geographically dispersed facilities, remote  offices,
and mobile employees using Web client and server software.
 
    e-Net  develops,  markets and  supports open  client, server  and integrated
applications software that enables  local, national and international  telephone
communications,  information exchange and commerce over the Internet and private
IP networks. The Company's software products are designed to deliver high levels
of performance,  ease  of  use  and  security.  These  software  products  allow
individuals  and organizations to  execute secure voice  transactions across the
Internet, through the use of authentication technology, for local, national  and
international  telephone communications, information  and commerce. In addition,
through the  use  of the  Company's  software, organizations  can  extend  their
internal  information  systems  and  enterprise  applications  to geographically
dispersed facilities, remote offices and mobile employees.
 
    The Company  believes that  one of  its key  competitive advantages  is  its
technical  experience  and  expertise.  The  Company's  core  development  group
includes individuals  who  have  developed  and  implemented  telecommunications
network  management software and other Internet and network related products and
services as they have emerged as  a recognized application continuously for  the
last 12 years.
 
PRODUCTS
 
    The   Company   provides   a   comprehensive   line   of  telecommunications
science-based products for business and  consumers for use in the  transmission,
management  and billing of  network telephone and  computer usage, including the
Internet. These products  enable the improved  usage, recording, monitoring  and
accounting  of  network operations.  The following  material sets  forth certain
information with respect to the Company's line of products:
 
    TELECOM-2000-TM-
 
    The Company's  most  sophisticated technology  is  a software  and  hardware
product suite known as Telecom-2000. Telecom-2000 on the Internet, as well as on
private wide area networks, is designed to deliver basic telephone service, in a
technically  different and  improved way,  without lag  time, in  terms of voice
quality compared to product offerings in the market today. The Company's product
is based on  Ethernet switching and  Virtual LAN technology  completed with  low
cost  voice  packetization  technology.  The  proliferation  of  affordable  ATM
adapters, switch nodes and Wide Area Network ATM services by the Local  Exchange
Carriers  (LEC's) and Interexchange Carriers  (IXC's) has provided a significant
cost incentive to utilize ATM for voice transport on the Internet and other wide
area networks.
 
    Telecom-2000 consists of voice/data integration and authentication protocol,
voice  packetization  software,  prototype  interfaces  to  Ethernet   telephony
hardware,  address resolution and call handling  software, and interfaces to the
traditional telephone network  through a PC,  or personal computer.  Due to  the
economical   and  highly  scaleable  architecture   developed  by  the  Company,
Telecom-2000 can  be  utilized  for  secure,  or  private,  data  and  telephony
communications in very small offices, enterprise
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
networks,  national  reseller  networks  and for  the  individual  consumer. The
technological basis for the  Telecom-2000 is the  Company's patent, U.S.  Patent
No.  5,526,353, which  provides for a  system and method  for communicating high
fidelity and clear transmission  of audio or voice  over the Internet,  enabling
free  worldwide  high  fidelity  and clear  transmission  of  ordinary telephone
communications over the Internet. The Company is not aware of any other  company
that  possesses the  technological ability  for communicating  high fidelity and
clear transmissions of audio or voice over the Internet. Although the Company is
aware of other  companies providing a  suite of hardware  and software  products
that  enable audio or voice over the Internet, the quality of the audio or voice
is regarded  by the  Company as  poor  to fair  in comparison  to its  suite  of
hardware  and  software  (Telecom-2000)  that  provides  for  communicating high
fidelity and clear transmission  of audio or voice  over the Internet.  However,
the Company is well aware that this technology is rapidly advancing and although
the  Company  believes  that  its  patent  may  provide  certain  strategic  and
technological advantages in the new and  burgeoning area of audio or voice  over
the  Internet,  the Company  can  make no  assurances as  to  the extent  of the
advantages or protection, if any, that may be granted to the Company as a result
of its patented technology.  See "Business --  Patent, Trademark, Copyright  and
Proprietary Rights."
 
    Telecom-2000  elements include  an integrated  Ethernet adapter  and desktop
telephone, a PC  ISA plug  in card  to provide  desktop telephone  access via  a
standard  Ethernet interface, a  PC ISA plug-in card  to terminate four standard
telephone lines or a PC ISA plug-in card to provide four telephone station lines
for desktop computers not equipped with a PC or LAN connection.
 
    The use of  Microsoft's TAPI  assures maximum flexibility  in providing  the
latest CTI features both in hardware and software. The provision of the hardware
assures a unique product with traditional telephone system reliability. The TAPI
compliance assures use of Telecom-2000 for unique applications, as well as third
party  software  for specialty  requirements and  ease  of value  added reseller
software products to quickly open up new markets. All of the hardware,  software
and  protocols  being  developed  and utilized  comply  with  both international
telephony and ATM standards.  This flexibility allows e-Net  to compete in  both
hardware  and  software  markets.  Depending on  the  precise  configuration and
volume, the Company offers the Telecom-2000 at a price of approximately $750 per
unit, which includes  a one year  warranty and technical  service, training  and
support.
 
    INTELLICD-TM-
 
    e-Net  has recently developed  IntelliCD, a product to  provide the market a
simpler and less expensive network  usage and billing capability. IntelliCD  has
been designed to utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology. e-Net has designed
and developed a standards compliant, general purpose search and retrieval engine
which  can  be used  unaltered in  a wide  variety of  user applications  in any
industry. This product  is distributed by  e-Net clients under  their own  trade
names.  One of  e-Net's clients, Sprint,  uses IntelliCD to  provide its clients
with database access to their monthly Call Detail Record (CDR) data. Based  upon
the  strong  market position  of  Sprint, and  that  e-Net is  not contractually
prohibited from selling this product to the other long distance carriers or  the
regional  telephone operating companies,  the Company believes  that this unique
product may have wide  utilization in the  telecommunications industry, but  the
Company  can  make  no  assurances  of  its  utilization.  Depending  on precise
configuration and  volume,  the Company  offers  the  IntelliCD as  a  price  of
approximately  $300 per unit,  which includes a one  year warranty and technical
service, training and support. At March  31, 1996, the Company realized  $74,500
in  sales of the IntelliCD product, representing approximately 25 percent of its
total sales.
 
    E-NET NMS-TM-
 
    The e-Net Network Management  System ("e-Net NMS")  is a proprietary  expert
systems-based,  user  friendly,  object-oriented network  and  system management
product that is offered  by the Company. Through  the introduction of  automated
problem,  configuration,  accounting, performance  and security  management, the
Company's e-Net NMS product provides  corporate and government enterprises  with
flexibility  for the management of global telephone and data networks, including
networks connected by the Internet. The e-Net NMS product also provides  network
traffic optimization and re-
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
routing,  real-time  configuration and  database  management, generation  of all
needed reports,  and  system  failure detection  and  prediction.  Depending  on
precise  configuration and volume, the Company offers the e-Net NMS product in a
price range  of approximately  $40,000 to  $80,000 per  unit, which  includes  a
one-year  warranty and  technical service,  training and  support. At  March 31,
1996,  the  Company  realized  $43,000  in  sales  of  the  e-Net  NMS  product,
representing approximately 15 percent of its total sales.
 
    DEBITBILL-TM-
 
    The  telephone debit card business has experienced strong growth in response
to customer acceptance and  increasing demand. e-Net's  experience with its  own
proprietary  debit billing  card product,  called DebitBill,  has indicated that
there may be significant market demand for this technology, although the Company
can make no assurances of the extent  of any demand. The Company intends to  use
its  current market  position to  sell its  debit card  product to  the Internet
service delivery market. DebitBill  interfaces with standard telephone  switches
and  related  accounting management  software to  identify  the customer  and to
record and manage  amounts owed. The  Company believes that  DebitBill may be  a
significant product in its suite of products because of the ease-of-use and cash
flow  implications of this technology. e-Net has specifically designed DebitBill
for the Internet and private IP networks. Depending on precise configuration and
volume, the Company has recently begun to offer the DebitBill product at a price
of approximately  $60,000 per  unit,  which includes  a  one year  warranty  and
technical  service, training and support. At March 31, 1996, the Company has not
realized any sales of this product.
 
SERVICES
 
    The Company has made a commitment to provide timely, high quality  technical
support  to  meet  the  diverse  needs of  its  customers  and  partners  and to
facilitate the  adoption and  use of  its products,  systems and  services.  The
Company offers the following technical services:

consultation  support is particularly economical for self-supporting departments
that consolidate  questions  through  a  department  system  administrator.  The
Company  also offers  consulting services  for particularly  complex application
design, integration  and  installation.  Consulting  services  are  provided  at
negotiated  rates, and typically include on-site support during the installation
process by Company engineers.
 
    TRAINING
 
    e-Net offers hands-on training  courses and materials  to resellers and  end
users  covering  installation  configuration and  troubleshooting.  In addition,
courses and materials  cover user  support, data loading  and content  creation,
user interface design, template scripting and integration with the data base.
 
    At  March 31, 1996,  the Company realized  $176,376 in sales  related to its
technology support services, representing approximately 60 percent of its  total
sales.
 
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
 
    The  Company's marketing and  distribution strategy targets  markets such as
Internet commerce,  enterprise-wide private  IP wide  area networks,  enterprise
local area networks, individual PC users and the individual telephone consumer.
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
    INTERNET COMMERCE MARKET.  The Company believes that many major corporations
may  begin to  communicate data  and manage  information on  the Internet  or on
private IP wide  area networks.  Corporations likely  to use  such products  and
services  include telecommunications  companies, information  service providers,
mail  order  and  traditional  retailers,  publishers,  and  financial   service
providers.  Any or all of these corporations  may wish to utilize the advantages
of telephone usage on the Internet or their private IP networks.
 
    ENTERPRISE MARKET.  Medium  and large-sized enterprises, particularly  those
with  geographically disbursed employee bases,  are expected to increasingly use
the Internet  in conjunction  with private  IP networks  to facilitate  internal
communications.  Many Fortune  500 companies already  maintain extensive private
communication networks, which can  be enhanced and extended  through use of  the
Internet.
 
    INDIVIDUAL PC BUSINESS AND HOME USERS.  While the number of business desktop
computer  users  accessing  the  Internet  is  increasing  rapidly,  the Company
believes that only a small fraction of business computer uses currently use  the
Internet.  The corporate employer, even for  small proprietorships will give due
consideration to the cost and other advantages of the Company's products. Demand
can be measured by the growth in usage of Prodigy, CompuServe and America Online
("AOL"), as  well as  home shopping  services,  such as  QVC and  Home  Shopping
Network,  which suggests that the home market for commercial applications on the
Internet will be substantial. The accessibility and ease of use of the Company's
systems and products are designed to address the demands of this marketplace.
 
    The market for the Company's software  and services has only recently  begun
to  develop, is rapidly evolving and is characterized by an increasing number of
market entrants  who have  introduced  or developed  products and  services  for
communication  and commerce  over the  Internet and  private IP  networks. As is
typical in the case of  a new and rapidly  evolving industry, demand and  market
acceptance  for recently introduced products and  services are subject to a high
level of  uncertainty.  The industry  is  young  and has  few  proven  products.
Moreover,  critical  issues  concerning  the  commercial  use  of  the  Internet
(including security, reliability, cost  ease of use and  access, and quality  of
service)  remain unresolved and may impact the growth of Internet use. While the
Company believes that  its software  products offer  significant advantages  for
commerce  and communication over the Internet and private IP networks, there can
be no assurance that Internet commerce and communication will become widespread,
or that the Company's systems and  products for commerce and communication  over
the Internet and private IP networks will become adopted for these purposes.
 
    MARKETING
 
    The  Company  uses  direct  marketing  of  its  technologies,  products  and
services, and intends to use a variety of other marketing programs to  stimulate
demand  for its technologies, products and  services. These programs are focused
on the target markets mentioned above and are designed to leverage the  Internet
itself  as a  powerful marketing  vehicle. In  addition, the  Company intends to
develop co-marketing programs with strategic corporate partners designed to take
advantage of complementary marketing capabilities.  Due to a lack of  resources,
the  Company has  only recently begun  to implement its  marketing strategy. The
Company can make no assurances as to the success of its marketing strategy.  The
key elements of the Company's marketing strategy include:
 
        MARKETING  ON THE INTERNET.   e-Net will be accessible  with its own Web
site. This  Web  site will  provide  directories to  a  variety of  product  and
technical  support information. The Company will make its products available for
evaluation and purchase through Web site.
 
        TARGET MARKETING.  The  Company will focus  direct marketing efforts  on
enterprise  network  users, companies  now publishing  on  the Web  and decision
makers  using  the  Internet  for   internal  use  in  medium  and   large-sized
enterprises,  and  vertically  targeted  small  offers.  Outbound telemarketing,
direct response advertising and seminar programs.  The goal of these efforts  is
to  identify potential buyers of the Company's products, create awareness of the
Company's product offerings and generate leads for follow-on sales.
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
        MARKETING TO PC USERS.   Client products will  be marketed widely to  PC
users  in both  the business and  home PC market  segments. Distribution through
national resellers,  reseller agreements  with  Internet access  providers,  and
bundling  arrangements with PC hardware  and software OEMs will  be used to make
Company's products rapidly available to  a large number of potential  customers.
In  order to stimulate demand for its products, the Company will advertise in PC
industry publications and engage in sales promotions with distribution partners,
with particular emphasis on trade shows and technology expositions at convention
centers.
 
    DISTRIBUTION
 
    The Company's objective is to market and distribute its products  worldwide,
in   part  by   disseminating  its   products  through   multiple  national  and
international distribution  channels. However,  the  Company has  only  recently
begun  to implement its distribution  strategy and has not  yet entered into any
distribution agreements for its products. The Company can make no assurances  as
to  the  success  of its  distribution  strategy. Furthermore,  the  Company has
limited resources to achieve the distribution of its products and no  assurances
can  be made that the  Company will not require  additional financing, which may
not be  available, to  achieve  such objective.  The  Company has  designed  its
distribution  strategy  to address  the particular  requirements of  its diverse
institutional and individual target customers. The Company's direct distribution
efforts will consist of a direct sales force and telesales as well as  marketing
directly  VIA the e-Net  home page on  the Internet. The  Company's products are
currently distributed  indirectly through  OEMs, systems  integrators, VARs  and
software retailers.
 
    DIRECT  SALES.  The Company's direct sales force targets primarily medium to
large-sized  enterprises,  including  telecommunications  companies  and  public
sector  network  users.  The  Company  currently  has  only  three  employees in
marketing and sales, but  intends to add three  more employees in marketing  and
sales  following the closing  of this offering. The  Company believes that these
organizations are most likely  to become large  network users interconnected  to
the Internet. In addition, these organizations have a substantial installed base
of  private IP  networks and  are expected  to employ  Web servers  for internal
enterprise applications.
 
    TELESALES.  The Company's telesales  organization, based in the  Washington,
D.C.  metropolitan area, receives customer orders  as well as contacts potential
customers. The organization comprises three telesales representatives, who  also
are  employed in marketing  and sales, on  behalf of the  Company. Following the
closing of this  offering, the  Company intends to  add three  employees to  its
telesales force.
 
    INTERNET   SALES.    The  Company  will  offer  its  products  and  services
electronically VIA the Internet. Internet sales and distribution is particularly
well suited to  address the  large base  of Internet  users who  may choose  the
Company's products and services for many of their telephone needs.
 
    OEMS,  VARS AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATORS.  OEMs, VARs and systems integrators may
customize, configure  and  install  the Company's  products  with  complementary
hardware, software and services. In combining these products and services, these
resellers  are  able  to deliver  more  complete solutions  to  address specific
customer needs,  deriving  maximum benefit  from  the Company's  products  while
tailoring  system solutions, which allows e-Net to avoid customization costs and
invest in focused product improvement.
 
    The Company has historically  sold its products  only through direct  sales.
The  Company  intends  to  increasingly  utilize  the  Internet,  OEMs,  systems
integrators and VARs. The  Company expects that any  material increase in  sales
through  resellers  as  a  percentage  of  total  revenues,  especially  in  the
percentage of sales through OEMs and  VARs, will adversely affect the  Company's
average selling prices and gross margins due to the discounts that are typically
extended  when  selling through  indirect channels.  Moreover,  there can  be no
assurance that the Company will be able  to attract resellers that will be  able
to  market the Company's  products effectively and will  be qualified to provide
timely and cost-effective customer support and service or that the Company  will
be able to manage
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
conflicts  among its  resellers. In addition,  the agreements  with resellers in
Company's  industry  typically  do  not  restrict  resellers  from  distributing
competing products, and in many cases will be terminable by either party without
cause.  It is ordinary in the Company's industry to grant exclusive distribution
rights which are limited by territory and in duration. Consequently, the Company
may be adversely affected should any  reseller fail to adequately penetrate  its
market segment. The inability to recruit, manage and retain important resellers,
or their inability to penetrate their respective market segments, may materially
adversely   affect  the  Company's  business,  operating  results  or  financial
condition.
 
    The Company  intends to  expand  its field  sales  force and  its  telesales
organization.  There can  be no assurance  that such internal  expansion will be
successfully completed, that  the cost  of such  expansion will  not exceed  the
revenues  generated, or that the Company's sales and marketing organization will
be able to  successfully compete  against the significantly  more extensive  and
well-funded  sales and marketing operations of  many of the Company's current or
potential  competitors.  The  Company's  inability  to  effectively  manage  its
internal expansion may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results or financial condition.
 
    In  addition  to  expanding  its direct  sales  channels,  the  Company will
distribute its products  electronically through the  Internet. Distributing  the
Company's  products  through  the  Internet makes  the  Company's  software more
susceptible than other  software to  unauthorized copying and  use. The  Company
intends  to continue to allow potential customers to electronically download its
software for a  free evaluation  period. There can  be no  assurance that,  upon
expiration of the evaluation period, the Company will be able to collect payment
from  users  that retain  a  copy of  the  Company's software.  In  addition, by
distributing its products for free evaluation over the Internet, the Company may
have reduced the future  demand for its  products. If, as  a result of  changing
legal  interpretations  of  liability  for  unauthorized  use  of  the Company's
software or otherwise, users were to become less sensitive to avoiding copyright
infringement, the Company's business, operating results and financial  condition
may  be  materially  adversely  affected.  Any  such  export  restrictions,  new
legislation or regulation or  unlawful exportation may  have a material  adverse
impact on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition.
 
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
 
    The  Company's  current development  efforts  are focused  on  new products,
product enhancements  and implementing  existing  products into  new  enterprise
networks.  In particular, e-Net is in  the final testing stages of Telecom-2000.
This testing is currently on schedule and  it is estimated by the Company to  be
successfully concluded, resulting in product market readiness, by the end of the
Company's third quarter of fiscal 1997. There can be no assurance, however, that
any  Company  products  will  be  made  commercially  available  as  expected or
otherwise on a  timely and  cost-effective basis,  or that  if introduced,  that
these products will achieve market acceptance.
 
    The  Company's  ability to  attract  and retain  highly  qualified technical
employees will  be  the principal  determinant  of its  success  in  maintaining
technological   leadership.  e-Net  intends   to  develop  a   policy  of  using
equity-based compensation  programs,  which have  not  yet been  instituted,  to
reward and motivate significant contributors among its employees.
 
    To  date, all product development costs  have been expensed as incurred. The
Company believes that  significant investments in  research and development  are
required  to  remain  competitive.  As a  consequence,  the  Company  intends to
increase the amount of its research and development expenditures in the future.
 
    Substantially  all  of  the  Company's  revenues  have  been  derived,   and
substantially  all of the Company's future  revenues are expected to be derived,
from  the  license  of  its  software  and  sale  of  its  associated  services.
Accordingly,  broad  acceptance  of  the  Company's  products  and  services  by
customers is  critical to  the Company's  future success,  as is  the  Company's
ability  to  design,  develop,  test  and  support  new  software  products  and
enhancements   on    a    timely    basis   that    meet    changing    customer
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
needs and respond to technological developments and emerging industry standards.
There  can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and
marketing new  products  and enhancements  that  meet changing  customer  needs.
Current  products are designed around certain  standards, and current and future
sales of  the  Company's  products  will be  dependent,  in  part,  on  industry
acceptance  of such standards. In  addition, there can be  no assurance that the
Company  will  not  experience  difficulties  that  may  delay  or  prevent  the
successful   development,  introduction  and  marketing   of  new  products  and
enhancements, or that its new products and enhancements will adequately meet the
requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Further,  because
the  Company has only recently commenced shipment  of its products, there can be
no assurance that, despite testing by  the Company and by current and  potential
customers,  errors  will  not  be  found  in  the  Company's  products,  or,  if
discovered, successfully corrected in a timely manner. If the Company is  unable
to  develop on  a timely basis  new software products,  enhancements to existing
products or error corrections,  or if such new  products or enhancements do  not
achieve  market  acceptance,  the  Company's  business,  operating  results  and
financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
 
PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
 
    In March 1996, the  Company acquired all rights,  title and interest in  the
first  U.S.  patent, U.S.  Patent No.  5,526,353,  for a  system and  method for
communicating high fidelity and  clear transmission of audio  or voice over  the
Internet,  enabling  free  worldwide  high fidelity  and  clear  transmission of
ordinary telephone communications  over the Internet.  The Company acquired  all
rights,  title and  interest in  the patent  from the  inventors, Messrs. Arthur
Henley and  Scott  Grau,  who  are original  stockholders  of  the  Company,  in
consideration  of a five percent overriding royalty interest against gross sales
involving the use of the patent.  The Company has agreed to allocate  $1,000,000
of  capital to develop  and exploit the  market opportunities for  the patent by
December 31, 1996, or the patent will be subject to repurchase by the  inventors
of  the patent. The Company believes that its patent is the first patent awarded
of its kind, specifically involving the transmission of audio or voice over  the
Internet.  The  Company  also  believes  that  its  patent  may  provide certain
strategic and technological advantages in the  new and burgeoning area of  audio
or  voice over the Internet. The Company  can make no assurances, however, as to
the extent of the advantages or protection,  if any, that may be granted to  the
Company as a result of its patent.
 
    The   Company  currently  does  not  have  any  other  patent  or  copyright
applications pending. However,  the Company has  trademark applications  pending
related  to  certain of  its  products and  technologies.  The Company  may file
additional patent, trademark and copyright  applications relating to certain  of
the  Company's products and  technologies. If patents,  registered trademarks or
copyrights were to be issued, there can be no assurance as to the extent of  the
protection  that  will be  granted to  the Company  as a  result of  having such
patents, trademarks or copyrights or that the Company will be able to afford the
expenses of  any  complex litigation  which  may  be necessary  to  enforce  its
proprietary  rights. Failure of  the Company's patents,  trademark and copyright
applications may  have a  material  adverse impact  on the  Company's  business.
Except  as may  be required  by the  filing of  patent, trademark  and copyright
applications, the Company will attempt to keep all other proprietary information
secret and to take such actions as may be necessary to insure the results of its
development activities are not disclosed and are protected under the common  law
concerning trade secrets. Such steps will include the execution of nondisclosure
agreements  by  key Company  personnel and  may also  include the  imposition of
restrictive agreements on  purchasers of  the Company's  products and  services.
There is no assurance that the execution of such agreements will be effective to
protect  the Company, that the Company will be able to enforce the provisions of
such nondisclosure agreements or that technology and other information  acquired
by  the  Company  pursuant  to  its development  activities  will  be  deemed to
constitute trade secrets by any court of competent jurisdiction.
 
SECURITY RISKS
 
    The Company has included in certain  of its products an implementation of  a
security  protocol which operates in  conjunction with authentication technology
that it has developed. Despite the
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
existence of  this  technology, the  Company's  products may  be  vulnerable  to
break-ins and similar disruptive problems caused by certain Internet users. Such
computer  break-ins  and  other  disruptions would  jeopardize  the  security of
information stored in and transmitted through the computer systems of end  users
of  the Company's  products, which  may result  in significant  liability to the
Company and may  also deter  potential customers.  Persistent security  problems
continue  to plague public and private  data networks. Recent break-ins at major
government institutions, banks and corporations have involved hackers  bypassing
firewalls  and missappropriating confidential  information. Alleviating problems
caused by  third parties  may require  significant expenditures  of capital  and
resources  by the  Company and may  cause interruptions, delays  or cessation of
service to the Company's customers; such expenditures or interruptions may  have
a  material  adverse effect  on the  Company's  business, operating  results and
financial condition. Moreover, the security and privacy concerns of existing and
potential customers,  as  well as  concerns  related to  computer  viruses,  may
inhibit  the growth  of the Internet  marketplace, generally,  and the Company's
customer base  and revenues,  specifically.  The Company  intends to  limit  its
liability  to  customers,  including liability  arising  from a  failure  of the
security features contained in the Company's products, through provisions in its
future contracts.  However,  the  Company  can  make  no  assurances  that  such
contractual limitations will be enforceable. The Company currently does not have
liability insurance to protect against these risks and there can be no assurance
that  such insurance will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable
terms, or available on any terms.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    The Company is not currently subject to direct regulation by any  government
agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, and there are
currently  few laws or regulations directly  applicable to access to or commerce
on the  Internet. However,  due to  the  increasing popularity  and use  of  the
Internet,  it is possible that  a number of laws  and regulations may be adopted
with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing  and
characteristics and quality of products and services. For example, the Exon Bill
(which  was  recently approved  by the  Senate)  would prohibit  distribution of
obscene, lascivious or indecent communications on the Internet. The adoption  of
any  such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which may
in turn  decrease  the  demand  for the  Company's  products  and  increase  the
Company's  cost of  doing business  or otherwise have  an adverse  effect on the
Company's business,  operating results  or  financial condition.  Moreover,  the
applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property
ownership, libel and personal privacy is uncertain.
 
    The  Company's success and ability to compete  is dependent in part upon its
proprietary technology. While  the Company  relies on  patent, trademark,  trade
secret  and copyright law  to protect its technology,  the Company believes that
factors such as  the technological  and creative  skills of  its personnel,  new
product  developments,  frequent  product  enhancements,  name  recognition  and
reliable product maintenance are more essential to establishing and  maintaining
a technology position. The source code for the Company's proprietary software is
protected  both  as  a trade  secret  and  as a  copyrighted  work.  The Company
generally enters into confidentiality or license agreements with its  employees,
consultants and vendors, and generally controls access to an distribution of its
software,   documentation  and  other  proprietary  information.  Despite  these
precautions, it may be possible  for a third party  to copy or otherwise  obtain
and  use  the  Company's products  or  technology without  authorization,  or to
develop similar technology independently.  In addition, effective copyright  and
trade  secret  protection  may  be unavailable  or  limited  in  certain foreign
countries, and the global nature of  the Internet makes it virtually  impossible
to  control  the ultimate  designation of  the  Company's products.  Despite the
Company's efforts to  protect its proprietary  rights, unauthorized parties  may
attempt  to copy  aspects of  the Company's  products to  "reverse engineer" the
Company's designs, or to obtain and use information that the Company regards  as
proprietary.  In addition, litigation may be  necessary in the future to enforce
the Company's  intellectual  property rights,  to  protect the  Company's  trade
secrets,  to  determine the  validity  and scope  of  the proprietary  rights of
others, or to
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation may  result
in  substantial costs and diversion of resources and may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition.
 
    The Company also relies on certain  technology which it licenses from  third
parties,  including  software  which  is  integrated  with  internally developed
software and used in the Company's products to perform key functions. There  can
be  no assurance that these third party  technology licenses will continue to be
available to  the Company  on  commercially reasonable  terms.  The loss  of  or
inability  to maintain any of these technology  licenses may result in delays or
reductions in product shipments until  equivalent technology may be  identified,
licensed  and integrated. Any such delays or reductions in product shipments may
materially adversely  affect  the  Company's  business,  operating  results  and
financial condition.
 
COMPETITION
 
    The  market  for  Internet-based  software and  services  is  new, intensely
competitive, rapidly evolving  and subject  to rapid  technological change.  The
Company  expects competition to  persist, intensify and  increase in the future,
from start-up  companies  to  major  technology companies.  Almost  all  of  the
Company's  current and  potential competitors  have longer  operating histories,
greater name  recognition, larger  installed  customer bases  and  significantly
greater  financial,  technical and  marketing resources  than the  Company. Such
competition may materially  adversely affect the  Company's business,  operating
results  or financial condition. The Company's current and potential competitors
can be divided  into several  groups: Microsoft, browser  software vendors,  Web
server  software and  service vendors, PC  and Unix software  vendors and online
service providers.
 
    MICROSOFT  CORPORATION.    Microsoft  has  licensed  browser  software  from
Spyglass  and has announced its intention to improve and bundle the browser with
its Windows 95 operating system.  Microsoft's browser will access the  Microsoft
Network,  its announced  online service,  and will  also offer  Internet access.
While the anticipated  penetration of this  software into Microsoft's  installed
base  of PC users will increase the size  and usefulness of the Internet, it may
have a material adverse  impact on e-Net's ability  to sell client software.  In
addition,  because the  Company's client software  products will not  be able to
access Microsoft Network,  the Company's client  software products may  be at  a
competitive  disadvantage  VERSUS  Microsoft's browser.  Further,  Microsoft may
choose to  develop  Web  server, applications  software  and  software  products
specifically  designed to deliver high levels of performance that enables local,
material and international  telephone communications,  information exchange  and
commerce  over the Internet as  a complement to its  product line and to support
the Microsoft Network, which may materially adversely affect e-Net's ability  to
sell  its technologies,  products and services.  To the  extent that Microsoft's
browser gains market acceptance,  Microsoft will be  better positioned than  the
Company  to sell  Web server and  applications products. Microsoft  has a longer
operating history, a  much larger installed  base and number  of employees,  and
substantially  greater financial,  technical and marketing  resources, access to
distribution channels and name recognition than the Company.
 
    BROWSER  SOFTWARE  VENDORS.    Several  companies  are  currently   offering
client-based   Web   browser   products,   including   Netscape   Communications
Corporation,  Spry,  Inc.  (a  subsidiary  of  CompuServe),  Spyglass,  Booklink
Technologies,  Inc. ("Booklink," a  subsidiary of AOL),  NetManage Inc., Network
Computing Devices, Inc. and  Quarterdeck Office Systems,  Inc. In addition,  the
NCSA  at the  University of Illinois  distributes its product,  NCSA Mosaic, for
free for noncommercial use. Further, Spyglass has an exclusive license for  NCSA
Mosaic  and  is  actively sublicensing  it  to other  commercial  vendors. These
sublicensees are expected to  offer derivative products  that will compete  with
the Company's product line.
 
    SERVER SOFTWARE AND SERVICE VENDORS.  Some companies are offering Web server
software  that they install and operate on  behalf of their customers, and other
companies are offering services using Web serves. Companies offering Web  server
software include Open Market, Inc. ("Open Market"),
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
which  has a Web server  for various Unix platforms,  Process Software Corp. and
O'Reilly &  Associates,  Inc.,  which  have  Windows  NT  Web  server  products,
Spyglass,  which has  announced a  Web server  for Windows  NT and  various Unix
platforms, and Terisa, which offers a  toolkit for adding security functions  to
the  existing NCSA and  CERN Web servers. Service  companies include Open Market
and Internet Media Services, which publish  content from third parties on  their
own Web servers. In the future, software companies which have server products in
other  product categories  may choose to  enhance the  functionality of existing
products or develop new  products which are competitive  with the Company's  Web
server  and  integrated  applications products.  These  companies  include Lotus
(which IBM  recently acquired),  which  may extend  Notes  in this  manner,  and
Novell,  which may choose to  provide add-ons to Netware  for Web publishing. In
addition, Oracle, Sybase and Informix  may incorporate Web server  functionality
into  their  database  products.  Oracle  has  recently  announced  a technology
licensing agreement  with  Spyglass and  its  intention to  introduce  Web-based
software that enables electronic commerce and communication.
 
    PC AND UNIX SOFTWARE VENDORS.  The Company believes that PC software vendors
may  become particularly formidable  competitors. In addition  to Microsoft, IBM
has incorporated client software in its  OS/2 operating system, and the  Company
believes  that other  PC operating  system vendors,  including Apple,  will also
eventually incorporate  some  Web  client  functionality  into  their  operating
systems  as standard features. This  may also be true  of Unix operating systems
vendors, such  as  Sun,  HP, IBM,  Digital,  SCO  and SGI.  If  these  companies
incorporate  Web browser functionality into  their software products, they could
subsequently offer  this  functionality  at  little or  no  additional  cost  to
customers.  Further,  in  the  event  that  client  products  incorporated  into
operating systems by Microsoft or other PC or Unix software vendors gain  market
acceptance,  these organizations will  be better positioned  than the Company to
sell Web server and applications software products.
 
    ONLINE  SERVICE  PROVIDERS.    Although  the  online  services  provided  by
companies  such as Prodigy, CompuServe and  AOL are not Internet-based services,
these  services  currently  present  an  alternative  medium  to   organizations
considering  Internet-based publishing.  In addition, due  to the  appeal of the
Internet to content publishers and end users, these companies are adapting their
service offerings to provide  Internet access. At least  two of these  companies
compete  directly with the  Company in the  Internet-based software and services
market: AOL, which acquired Booklink,  and CompuServe, which acquired Spry.  The
Company's  client software products do not  offer access to any online services,
including Microsoft  Network,  and  are at  a  competitive  disadvantage  VERSUS
browser  products  which offer  both access  to  the Internet  and to  an online
service.
 
    Additional competition could come from client/server applications and  tools
vendors,  other  database companies,  multimedia companies,  document management
companies, networking  software  companies,  network  management  companies  and
educational  software  companies. Further,  the  Company's current  products are
designed  around  certain  standards,  and  industry  acceptance  of   competing
standards  could decrease  the demand for  the Company's  products. For example,
Microsoft and  IBM are  each  proposing an  alternative security  standard,  and
widespread adoption of either standard may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.
 
    Competitive  factors  in  the Internet-based  software  and  services market
include core technology, breadth of product features, product quality, marketing
and distribution  resources,  and customer  service  and support.  However,  the
market  and competition are still new and  rapidly emerging, and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against  current
or  future competitors, or  that this competition will  not adversely affect the
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    As of  the  date of  this  prospectus, the  Company  has a  total  of  eight
employees,  all  of  whom  are  full time  employees.  Of  the  total  number of
employees, three  are engaged  in  software development,  three are  engaged  in
marketing,  sales and customer  support and three  are engaged in administration
and finance. Four of  these employees were hired  in May 1996. Certain  software
development activities and
 
                                       38

additional  financial  and administrative  support  required to  date  have been
purchased on  an as  needed basis  from independent  consultants. Following  the
closing  of  this  offering,  the  Company  intends  to  hire  approximately ten
additional employees, including five in software development, three in marketing
and sales and two  in administration and finance.  The Company's future  success
depends  in significant part upon the continued service of its key technical and
senior management personnel  and its  continuing ability to  attract and  retain
highly  qualified  technical and  managerial  personnel. Competition  for highly
qualified technical personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that  the
Company  will be able  to retain its  key managerial and  technical employees or
that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical
and managerial  personnel in  the future.  None of  the Company's  employees  is
represented  by labor union. The Company  has not experienced any work stoppages
and considers its relations with its employees to be good.
 
    The rapid execution necessary  for the Company to  fully exploit the  market
window  for  its  products  and  services  requires  an  effective  planning and
management process. The Company's growth has placed, and is expected to continue
to place,  a significant  strain on  the Company's  managerial, operational  and
financial  resources. In addition, most of the Company's management, development
and engineering staff was only recently hired. To manage its growth, the Company
must continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and
to expand,  train and  manage its  employee base.  For example,  the Company  is
currently  in  the  process of  building  its internal  maintenance  and support
organization. Although the Company believes that it has made adequate allowances
for the  costs  and  risks associated  with  this  expansion, there  can  be  no
assurance that the Company's systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to
support  the Company's  operations or  that Company  management will  be able to
achieve the rapid execution necessary to fully exploit the market window for the
Company's products  and services.  If the  Company is  unable to  manage  growth
effectively,  the Company's business, operating  results and financial condition
will be materially adversely affected.
 
FACILITIES
 
    The Company  leases  approximately  1,500  square  feet  for  its  principal
executive  offices  located at  7-4  Metropolitan Court,  Gaithersburg, Maryland
20878. The Company also  leases approximately 1,500  square feet for  additional
operational facilities located at 12325 Hymeadow Drive, Austin, Texas 78750. The
Company  intends to expand its facilities to  3,000 square feet at each facility
following the closing of this offering. Base rental for the current premises are
approximately  $1,900  and   $1,200  per  month,   respectively,  and  will   be
approximately  $3,800  and  $2,400  per  month,  respectively,  in  the expanded
facilities. The lease  requires the Company  to pay certain  property taxes  and
certain   operating  expenses.  The  Company   believes  that  its  current  and
anticipated facilities are suitable and adequate for its operations.

- ------------------------
(1) The persons named in the table  immediately above reflect the management  of
    the  Company as of the  date hereof. The directors  of the Company, with the
    exception of  Mr. Veschi,  are entitled  to annual  remuneration of  $42,000
    pursuant  to oral  agreements between  such directors  and the  Company. The
    Company has agreed to purchase key-man term life insurance on Mr. Veschi  in
    the amount of $1 million following the closing of this offering. The Company
    will be the owner and beneficiary of such life insurance policy.
 
(2) The  officers of the Company may receive  remuneration as part of an overall
    group  insurance  plan  providing  health,  life  and  disability  insurance
    benefits  for  employees  of  the  Company.  The  amount  allocable  to each
    individual officer cannot  be specifically ascertained,  but, in any  event,
    will not exceed $25,000 as to each individual.
 
(3) Each  outside  director of  the Company  is  entitled to  receive reasonable
    expenses incurred in  attending meetings of  the Board of  Directors of  the
    Company.  The members  of the  Board of  Directors intend  to meet  at least
    quarterly during the  Company's fiscal year,  and at such  other times  duly
    called. The Company presently has two outside directors.
 
  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
    The  Company  has entered  into an  employment agreement  ("Agreement") with
Robert A. Veschi,  the president  and chief  executive officer  of the  Company,
dated  as of  April 1, 1996.  The Agreement will  expire on March  31, 2001. The
current annual salary  under the  Agreement is  $175,000. The  salary under  the
Agreement may be increased to reflect annual cost of living increases and may be
supplemented  by discretionary merit and  performance increases as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company, except that during the first three  years
following  the  date  of  the  Prospectus  with  respect  to  the  offering,  no
executive's salary may  exceed $200,000.  Mr. Veschi  is entitled  to an  annual
bonus  equal to 50 percent of the  salary provided under his Agreement, which is
not subject to any performance criteria.
 
    The  Agreement  provides,  among  other  things,  for  participation  in  an
equitable  manner  in any  profit-sharing or  retirement  plan for  employees or
executives and for participation in other employee
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
benefits applicable to employees  and executives of  the Company. The  Agreement
provides  for the use  of an automobile,  payment of club  dues and other fringe
benefits commensurate with his duties  and responsibilities. The Agreement  also
provides  for benefits in  the event of disability.  The Agreement also contains
non-compete  provisions  but  are  limited  in  geographical  scope,  I.E.,  the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
 
    Pursuant  to the Agreement, employment may be terminated by the Company with
cause or  by the  executive with  or  without good  reason. Termination  by  the
Company  without cause, or by  the executive for good  reason, would subject the
Company to liability for liquidated damages in an amount equal to the terminated
executive's current  salary  and a  PRO  RATA portion  of  their bonus  for  the
remaining term of the Agreement, payable in a lump sum cash payment, without any
set-off  for compensation  received from  any new  employment. In  addition, the
terminated executive would be entitled to continue to participate in and  accrue
benefits under all employee benefit plans and to receive supplemental retirement
benefits  to replace benefits under any qualified plan for the remaining term of
the Agreement to the extent permitted by law.
 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
 
    As permitted by  Delaware law,  the Company's  Certificate of  Incorporation
includes  a provision which provides that a director of the Company shall not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for  a
breach  of  fiduciary duty  as  a director,  except (i)  for  any breach  of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts  or
omissions  not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law  of
the  State of Delaware, which prohibits the unlawful payment of dividends or the
unlawful repurchase or  redemption of stock,  or (iv) for  any transaction  from
which  the  director derives  an improper  personal  benefit. This  provision is
intended to afford directors  protection against, and  to limit their  potential
liability  for monetary damages  resulting from, suits alleging  a breach of the
duty of care by a director. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders  of
the  Company will  be unable to  recover monetary damages  against directors for
action taken  by them  that may  constitute negligence  or gross  negligence  in
performance  of  their  duties  unless  such conduct  falls  within  one  of the
foregoing exceptions.  The provision,  however, does  not alter  the  applicable
standards  governing a director's fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit
the right of the Company or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other
type of  nonmonetary  relief  in  the  event of  a  breach  of  fiduciary  duty.
Management  of the  Company believes this  provision will assist  the Company in
securing and retaining qualified persons to  serve as directors. The Company  is
unaware  of  any pending  or threatened  litigation against  the Company  or its
directors that would result in any liability for which such director would  seek
indemnification or similar protection.
 
    Such  indemnification  provisions are  intended  to increase  the protection
provided directors  and, thus,  increase the  Company's ability  to attract  and
retain  qualified  persons to  serve as  directors. Because  directors liability
insurance is only available at considerable  cost and with low dollar limits  of
coverage  and broad policy exclusions, the Company does not currently maintain a
liability insurance policy for the benefit of its directors although the Company
may attempt to acquire such insurance  in the future. The Company believes  that
the  substantial increase  in the number  of lawsuits being  threatened or filed
against corporations  and  their directors  and  the general  unavailability  of
directors  liability insurance to provide  protection against the increased risk
of personal liability resulting from such lawsuits have combined to result in  a
growing  reluctance on the part of capable persons to serve as members of boards
of directors of public companies. The  Company also believes that the  increased
risk  of  personal  liability  without  adequate  insurance  or  other indemnity
protection for its  directors could  result in overcautious  and less  effective
direction  and management of the Company. Although no directors have resigned or
have threatened  to resign  as a  result  of the  Company's failure  to  provide
insurance  or other indemnity protection from liability, it is uncertain whether
the Company's directors would continue to  serve in such capacities if  improved
protection from liability were not provided.
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
    The  provisions affecting  personal liability  do not  abrogate a director's
fiduciary duty  to the  Company  and its  shareholders, but  eliminate  personal
liability  for monetary damages for breach of  that duty. The provisions do not,
however, eliminate or limit the  liability of a director  for failing to act  in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for  authorizing the illegal payment  of a dividend or  repurchase of stock, for
obtaining an  improper personal  benefit,  for breaching  a director's  duty  of
loyalty  (which  is  generally  described  as the  duty  not  to  engage  in any
transaction which involves a  conflict between the interest  of the Company  and
those  of the director)  or for violations  of the federal  securities laws. The
provisions also  limit or  indemnify against  liability resulting  from  grossly
negligent  decisions including grossly negligent  business decisions relating to
attempts to change control of the Company.
 
    The provisions  regarding  indemnification  provide, in  essence,  that  the
Company  will  indemnify its  directors  against expenses  (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts  paid in settlement actually and  reasonably
incurred  in connection with any  action, suit or proceeding  arising out of the
director's status as a director of the Company, including actions brought by  or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not
require  a showing of good faith.  Moreover, they do not provide indemnification
for liability  arising out  of  willful misconduct,  fraud, or  dishonesty,  for
"short-swing"  profits violations under the federal  securities laws, or for the
receipt  of  illegal   remuneration.  The   provisions  also   do  not   provide
indemnification  for any  liability to the  extent such liability  is covered by
insurance. One purpose of the provisions is to supplement the coverage  provided
by  such insurance. However, as mentioned  above, the Company does not currently
provide such insurance  to its  directors, and there  is no  guarantee that  the
Company will provide such insurance to its directors in the near future although
the Company may attempt to obtain such insurance.
 
    The provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might otherwise
be available to shareholders by limiting the liability of officers and directors
to   the  maximum  extent   allowable  under  Delaware   law  and  by  affording
indemnification against most damages and  settlement amounts paid by a  director
of  the Company in connection with  any shareholders derivative action. However,
the provisions do not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder  to
enjoin  a director from  taking actions in  breach of his  fiduciary duty, or to
cause the Company  to rescind  actions already  taken, although  as a  practical
matter courts may be unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in circumstances
in which such actions have already been taken. Although the Company has procured
directors  liability  insurance coverage,  there is  no  assurance that  it will
provide coverage  to the  extent directors  would be  indemnified and,  in  such
event,  the Company may be  forced to bear a  portion or all of  the cost of the
director's claims for  indemnification. If  the Company  is forced  to bear  the
costs  for  indemnification, the  value of  the Company  stock may  be adversely
affected.  In  the   opinion  of   the  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission,
indemnification  for liabilities  arising under  the Securities  Act of  1933 is
contrary to public policy and, therefore, is unenforceable.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
    The Company was incorporated  in the State of  Delaware on January 9,  1995,
and  began its operations on June 8, 1995. The Company has authorized capital of
50,000,000 shares of  Common Stock, $.01  par value. The  Company currently  has
8,000,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  and  outstanding.  See  "Principal
Stockholders" and "Description of Securities."
 
    In January 1995,  the Company issued  6,000,000 shares of  its Common  Stock
(which  includes a 600:1 stock  split in January 1996)  to 16 persons, including
the officers and directors of the Company, in a private placement transaction in
consideration of $100, or its par value at the time of issuance.
 
    In March 1996, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to  ATG
Group,  Inc.,  a  Brookville,  New  York based  investment  firm,  in  a private
placement transaction for aggregate consideration of $250,000, represented by  a
full recourse promissory note for the entire purchase price. The promissory note
is due in full in March 2001 and bears interest, payable upon maturity at 8% per
annum.  Andrew T. Greene, a  former officer and director  of the Underwriter, is
the officer, director  and stockholder of  ATG Group,  Inc. At the  time of  the
acquisition  of the shares  of Common Stock  of the Company  by ATG Group, Inc.,
neither ATG Group, Inc. nor Mr. Greene had an association or affiliation, in any
manner whatsoever, with the Underwriter or any other member firm of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. However,  in June 1996, ATG Group,  Inc.
agreed   to  cancel  its  500,000  shares  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock  in
consideration of the cancellation of its $250,000 full recourse promissory note.
 
    Also, in March and April 1996,  the Company borrowed $1,000,000 in a  bridge
loan  from  four persons  who  are nonaffiliated  with  the Underwriter  and the
Company, to wit: Edward Ratkovich ($500,000), Robert Foise ($250,000), Armstrong
Industries ($200,000)  and Martin  Sumichrast ($50,000),  at the  rate of  eight
percent  simple  annual  interest.  General  Ratkovich  and  Mr.  Sumichrast are
officers, directors  and  principal  stockholders  of  Nasdaq  listed  companies
recently  underwritten by  the Underwriter.  Mr. Foise  and Armstrong Industries
have previously participated as investors in companies recently underwritten  by
the Underwriter. In further consideration of the bridge loan, the Company issued
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 2,000,000 Class A Warrants and 2,000,000 Class
B  Warrants to such persons. However, in June 1996, such persons converted their
loans to equity in  consideration of the prior  issuance of the securities.  See
"Description of Securities."
 
    All unregistered securities issued by the Company prior to this offering are
deemed  "restricted securities"  within the meaning  of that term  as defined in
Rule 144 and have been issued pursuant to certain "private placement" exemptions
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules  and
regulations   as  promulgated   by  the  Securities   and  Exchange  Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20549, such that the sales of the securities were  transactions
by an issuer not involving any public offering. See "Description of Securities."
 
    In  March 1996, the Company  acquired all rights, title  and interest in the
first U.S. patent for  a system and method  for communicating high fidelity  and
clear  transmission of audio or voice over the Internet, enabling free worldwide
transmission of ordinary telephone communications over the Internet. The Company
acquired all  rights, title  and  interest in  the  patent from  the  inventors,
Messrs.  Arthur  Henley and  Scott Grau,  who are  original stockholders  of the
Company, in consideration of a five percent overriding royalty interest  against
gross  profits involving the  use of the  patent. The Company  believes that its
patent is  the first  patent awarded  of its  kind, specifically  involving  the
transmission of audio or voice over the Internet. The Company also believes that
its patent may provide certain strategic and technological advantages in the new
and burgeoning area of audio or voice over the Internet. The Company can make no
assurances,  however, as to the extent of  the advantages or protection, if any,
that may be granted to the Company as a result of its patent.
 
    The Company intends  to indemnify  its officers  and directors  to the  full
extent  permitted  by  Delaware  law.  Under  Delaware  law,  a  corporation may
indemnify its agents for expenses and amounts
 
                                       47
<PAGE>
paid in third party actions and,  upon court approval in derivative actions,  if
the  agents acted in good faith and with reasonable care. A majority vote of the
Board of Directors, approval of the  shareholders or court approval is  required
to effectuate indemnification.
 
    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933,  as  amended,  may  be permitted  to  officers,  directors  or  persons
controlling  the Company, the Company  has been advised that,  in the opinion of
the  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission,  Washington,   D.C.  20549,   such
indemnification  is  against public  policy  as expressed  in  such Act  and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by  an  officer, director  or  controlling person  of  the Company  in  the
successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such
officer, director or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered,  the Company 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 such Act and  will be governed by the final  adjudication
of such issue.
 
    Any  future transactions with affiliates will  be on terms no less favorable
than could be  obtained from  nonaffiliated parties and  will be  approved by  a
majority  of  the  independent and  disinterested  directors, as  required  by a
resolution of the  Board of  Directors. Any  future loans  to Company  officers,
directors,  affiliates and/or shareholders will be approved by a majority of the
independent and  disinterested directors,  as required  by a  resolution of  the
Board of Directors.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
UNITS
 
    Each of the 1,000,000 Units offered hereby at $7.00 per Unit consists of two
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value, and two redeemable Class A
Warrants.  The Common Stock  and Class A  Warrants are detachable  and may trade
separately immediately upon issuance. Should the Class A Warrants be  exercised,
of which there is no assurance, the Company will receive the proceeds therefrom,
aggregating up to an additional $8,000,000.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common  Stock,  $.01  par  value.  There  are  presently  8,000,000  issued  and
outstanding shares of  Common Stock.  Holders of the  Common Stock  do not  have
preemptive  rights  to  purchase  additional shares  of  Common  Stock  or other
subscription rights. The Common  Stock carries no conversion  rights and is  not
subject  to redemption or to  any sinking fund provisions.  All shares of Common
Stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally  available
therefor  when,  as  and  if  declared  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and, upon
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary,  to
share  equally  in  the assets  of  the  Company available  for  distribution to
stockholders. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly authorized  and
issued,  fully paid and nonassessable,  and all shares to  be sold and issued as
contemplated hereby,  will be  validly  authorized and  issued, fully  paid  and
nonassessable.  The Board of Directors is  authorized to issue additional shares
of  Common  Stock,  not  to  exceed  the  amount  authorized  by  the  Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, and to issue options and warrants for the purchase
of  such shares, on such terms and  conditions and for such consideration as the
Board may  deem  appropriate  without  further  stockholder  action.  The  above
description  concerning the Common Stock  of the Company does  not purport to be
complete. Reference is made  to the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation  and
By-laws  which are available for inspection  upon proper notice at the Company's
offices, as well as to  the applicable statutes of the  State of Delaware for  a
more complete description concerning the rights and liabilities of stockholders.
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock of the
Company, and no predictions can be made of the effect, if any, that market sales
of  shares or the availability of shares for  sale will have on the market price
prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of significant amounts of  the
Common Stock of the Company in the public market may adversely affect prevailing
market  prices, and may  impair the Company's  ability to raise  capital at that
time through the sale of its equity securities.
 
    Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters
on which such  stockholders are  entitled to vote.  Since the  shares of  Common
Stock  do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50 percent
of the shares voting for the election  of directors can elect all the  directors
if  they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares
will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.
 
CLASS A AND CLASS B WARRANTS
 
    The Company is offering 1,000,000 Units at  a price of $7.00 per Unit.  Each
Unit  consists of two shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, and two redeemable
Class A Warrants. The Common Stock and  Class A Warrants are detachable and  may
trade separately immediately upon issuance.
 
    The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the date
of  this Prospectus ("Effective Date"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of  Common Stock at $4.00 per  share during the four  year
period  commencing one year  from the Effective  Date. The Class  A Warrants are
redeemable by the Company for $.05 per Warrant, at any time after July 25, 1998,
upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average closing price or bid
price of the Common Stock,  as reported by the  principal exchange on which  the
Common  Stock  is traded,  the  Nasdaq National  Market  System or  the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, as the case may be, equals or exceeds $8.00  per
share,  for  any  twenty  (20)  consecutive  trading  days  within  a  period of
 
                                       49
<PAGE>
thirty (30) days ending within ten (10)  days of the notice of redemption.  Upon
thirty  (30) days' written  notice to all  holders of the  Class A Warrants, the
Company shall have the right to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the term
of the Class A Warrants.
 
    In March and April  1996, the Company borrowed  $1,000,000 in a bridge  loan
from four persons who are nonaffiliated with the Underwriter and the Company, to
wit:  Edward Ratkovich ($500,000), Robert Foise ($250,000), Armstrong Industries
($200,000) and Martin Sumichrast ($50,000), at the rate of eight percent  simple
annual  interest. General Ratkovich  and Mr. Sumichrast  are officers, directors
and principal stockholders of Nasdaq  listed companies recently underwritten  by
the Underwriter. Mr. Foise and Armstrong Industries have previously participated
as  investors in companies recently underwritten  by the Underwriter. In further
consideration of the bridge loan, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of  Common
Stock,  2,000,000  Class  A Warrants  and  2,000,000  Class B  Warrants  to such
persons. However, in June 1996, such persons converted their loans to equity  in
consideration of the prior issuance of the securities.
 
    The  Class B Warrants owned by the four investors above are identical to the
Class A Warrants except that the exercise price is $4.20.
 
    The Warrants  can  only be  exercised  when  there is  a  current  effective
registration  statement  covering  the  shares of  common  stock  underlying the
Warrants. If the Company does not or  is unable to maintain a current  effective
registration  statement  the  Warrant holders  will  be unable  to  exercise the
Warrants and  the Warrants  may become  valueless. Moreover,  if the  shares  of
common stock underlying the Warrants are not registered or qualified for sale in
the  state in which a Warrant holder resides, such holder might not be permitted
to exercise the Warrants.
 
    The Company will  deliver Warrant  certificates to the  purchasers of  Units
representing   two  Warrants  for  each   Unit  purchased.  Thereafter,  Warrant
certificates may be exchanged for  new certificates of different  denominations,
and  may be exercised  or transferred by  presenting them at  the offices of the
Transfer Agent. Holders of the Warrants may sell the Warrants if a market exists
rather than exercise them. However, there can be no assurance that a market will
develop or continue as to such Warrants. If the Company is unable to qualify its
common stock underlying such Warrants for sale in certain states, holders of the
Company's Warrants in those states will have  no choice but to either sell  such
Warrants or allow them to expire.
 
    Each  Warrant may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant certificate, with
the form of election to purchase on the reverse side of the Warrant  certificate
properly  completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price to
the Warrant Agent. The Warrants may be  exercised in whole or from time to  time
in part. If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant certificate are
exercised,  a new Warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining number of
Warrants. Upon the  exercise of the  Warrants, the shares  of Common Stock  when
issued will be fully paid and nonassessable.
 
    Holders  of  the  Warrants  are protected  against  dilution  of  the equity
interest  represented  by  the  underlying  shares  of  common  stock  upon  the
occurrence  of certain events, including, but  not limited to, issuance of stock
dividends. If the Company merges, reorganizes or is acquired in such a way as to
terminate the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised immediately prior to  such
action.  In the event of liquidation, dissolution  or winding up of the Company,
holders of the Warrants are not entitled to participate in the Company's assets.
 
    For the life of the Warrants, the holders thereof are given the opportunity,
at nominal cost, to profit from a rise  in the market price of the common  stock
of  the Company. The exercise of the Warrants will result in the dilution of the
then book value of the Common Stock of the Company held by the public  investors
and would result in a dilution of their percentage ownership of the Company. The
terms  upon which  the Company  may obtain  additional capital  may be adversely
affected through the period that the Warrants remain exercisable. The holders of
these Warrants may  be expected  to exercise  them at  a time  when the  Company
would,  in  all likelihood,  be  able to  obtain  equity capital  on  terms more
favorable than those provided for by the Warrants.
 
                                       50
<PAGE>
    Because the  Warrants included  in the  Units being  offered hereby  may  be
transferred,  it  is  possible that  the  Warrants  may be  acquired  by persons
residing in states where the Company has  not registered, or is not exempt  from
registration  such that the  shares of common stock  underlying the Warrants may
not be  sold  or  transferred  upon exercise  of  the  Warrants.  Warrantholders
residing  in those  states would  have no  choice but  to attempt  to sell their
Warrants or  to let  them expire  unexercised.  Also, it  is possible  that  the
Company may be unable, for unforeseen reasons, to cause a registration statement
covering  the shares underlying the  Warrants to be in  effect when the Warrants
are exercisable. In that event, the  Warrants may expire unless extended by  the
Company  as permitted by the Warrant because a registration statement must be in
effect, including audited financial statements for companies acquired, in  order
for warrantholders to exercise their Warrants.
 
    The  Company will be able to issue  the securities offered hereby, shares of
its Common  Stock  upon the  exercise  of  the Warrants  and  the  Underwriter's
Purchase  Option  only if  (i) there  is  a current  prospectus relating  to the
securities offered hereby under an  effective registration statement filed  with
the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission, and  (ii) such  Common Stock  is then
qualified for sale or exempt therefrom under applicable state securities laws of
the jurisdictions in which the various holders of Warrants reside. Although  the
Company  intends to maintain  a current registration statement,  there can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in maintaining a current
registration statement. After a registration statement becomes effective, it may
require updating by the filing  of a post-effective amendment. A  post-effective
amendment  is required (i) anytime after nine months subsequent to the Effective
Date when any  information contained in  the prospectus is  over sixteen  months
old;  (ii)  when facts  or events  have occurred  which represent  a fundamental
change in the information contained in the registration statement; or (iii) when
any  material  change  occurs  in  the  information  relating  to  the  plan  or
distribution  of the securities  registered by such  registration statement. The
Company anticipates that this Registration  Statement will remain effective  for
not  more than nine months following the  date of this Prospectus or until April
25, 1997, assuming a post-effective amendment is not filed by the Company, which
may be required.  The Company  intends to  qualify the sale  of the  Units in  a
limited  number  of  states,  although certain  exemptions  under  certain state
securities ("Blue  Sky") laws  may  permit the  Warrants  to be  transferred  to
purchasers  in  states other  than those  in which  the Warrants  were initially
qualified. The Company  will be  prevented, however, from  issuing Common  Stock
upon  exercise of the Warrants in  those states where exemptions are unavailable
and the Company has failed to qualify the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants. The Company may decide not to  seek, or may not be able to  obtain
qualification of the issuance of such Common Stock in all of the states in which
the  ultimate purchasers of the  Warrants reside. In such  case, the Warrants of
those purchasers  will expire  and have  no  value if  such Warrants  cannot  be
exercised  or  sold. Accordingly,  the market  for the  Warrants may  be limited
because  of  the  Company's  obligation   to  fulfill  both  of  the   foregoing
requirements.
 
    As a result of the Permanent Injunction, the states of Pennsylvania, Indiana
and  Illinois  have commenced  administrative  proceedings seeking,  among other
things, to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license  to do business in such states.  In
Indiana,  the Commissioner suspended Stratton Oakmont's license for a three year
period. Stratton Oakmont  has appealed  the decision  and has  requested a  stay
pending appeal. The requested stay would maintain the status quo pending appeal.
In  Illinois, Stratton Oakmont  intends to file an  answer to the administrative
complaint denying the basis for  revocation. The District of Columbia  suspended
Stratton  Oakmont's license pending the outcome  of an investigation. The states
of North Carolina and  Arkansas also have  suspended Stratton Oakmont's  license
pending  a  resolution  of  the  proceedings  in  those  states.  The  states of
Minnesota, Vermont,  and Nevada  have served  upon Stratton  Oakmont notices  of
intent  to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license in  such states. The state of Rhode
Island has served on Stratton Oakmont a Notice of Intent to suspend its  license
in  that state. The state of Connecticut has served on Stratton Oakmont a notice
of intent to suspend or revoke registration in that state with a notice of right
to hearing.  In the  state of  Mississippi,  Stratton Oakmont  has agreed  to  a
suspension of its license pending resolution of certain claims and review of its
procedures and practices by the state authorities. In addition, Stratton Oakmont
withdrew  its registration  in the  state of  New Hampshire  (with the  right of
reapplication) and in the
 
                                       51
<PAGE>
state of Maryland. There may be  further administrative action against the  firm
in Maryland. The firm withdrew its registration in Massachusetts with a right to
reapply  for registration after two years, withdrew its registration in Delaware
with a right to reapply  in three years and agreed  to a temporary cessation  of
business  in  Utah  pending  an on-site  inspection  and  further administrative
proceedings. Stratton Oakmont's license in the  state of New Jersey was  revoked
by  an administrative law judge, which revocation was affirmed by the New Jersey
Bureau of Securities, and an appeal  has been filed with the appellate  division
of  the New  Jersey Superior  Court. The  states of  Georgia, Alabama  and South
Carolina have  lifted  their  suspensions  and  have  granted  Stratton  Oakmont
conditional  licenses.  Such conditional  licenses were  granted pursuant  to an
order, which Stratton  Oakmont has  proposed to various  states, which  provides
provisions   for:  (i)  the  suspension  of  revocation,  (ii)  compliance  with
recommendations  of  the  Consultant,   (iii)  an  expedited  claims   mediation
arbitration process, (iv) resolution of claims seeking compensatory damages, (v)
restrictions  on use of operating revenue,  (vi) the limitation on selling group
members in offerings  underwritten by  Stratton Oakmont and  the prohibition  of
participating  as a  selling group member  in offerings  underwritten by certain
other NASD member firms, (vii) the periodic review of Stratton Oakmont's agents,
(viii) the retention of an accounting  firm, and (ix) supervision and  training,
restrictions  on trading, discretionary accounts and other matters. The state of
Oregon, as a result of the Permanent Injunction, has filed a notice of intent to
revoke Stratton  Oakmont's  license subject  to  the  holding of  a  hearing  to
determine  definitively Stratton Oakmont's license status, and Stratton Oakmont,
in this  proceeding  as  well  as  other proceedings,  expects  to  be  able  to
demonstrate  that the Permanent Injunction is not of  a nature as to be a lawful
basis to  revoke  Stratton  Oakmont's  license  permanently.  Finally,  Stratton
Oakmont  has received an order  limiting license in the  state of Nebraska. Such
proceedings, if ultimately successful, may  adversely affect the market for  and
liquidity of the Company's securities if additional broker-dealers do not make a
market  in the Company's securities. Moreover,  should investors purchase any of
the securities in this offering from  Stratton Oakmont prior to a revocation  of
Stratton  Oakmont's license in their  state, such investors will  not be able to
resell such  securities in  such  state through  Stratton  Oakmont but  will  be
required to retain a new broker-dealer firm for such purpose. The Company cannot
ensure that other broker-dealers will make a market in the Company's securities.
In  the event that other  broker-dealers fail to make  a market in the Company's
securities, the possibility exists that the market for and the liquidity of  the
Company's  securities may  be adversely affected  to such an  extent that public
security holders may not have anyone  to purchase their securities when  offered
for  sale at any price. In such event,  the market for, and liquidity and prices
of the Company's  securities may  not exist. It  should be  noted that  although
Stratton  Oakmont may not be the sole  market maker in the Company's securities,
it will most likely be the dominant market maker in the Company's securities. In
addition, in the event that the Underwriter's license to do business is  revoked
in  the states set forth above, the Underwriter has advised the Company that the
members of the selling syndicate in this  offering may be able to make a  market
in  the Company's securities in such states and that such an event will not have
a materially adverse effect on this offering, although no assurance can be  made
that  such an event will not have  a materially adverse effect on this offering.
The Company has applied to register this offering for the offer and sale of  its
securities in the following states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida,  Georgia,  Hawaii,  Illinois,  Louisiana, New  York,  Rhode  Island and
Virginia. The  offer  and  sale of  the  securities  of this  offering  are  not
available  in  any  other  state, absent  an  exemption  from  registration. See
"Underwriting."
 
RESTRICTED SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 10,000,000 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding. Of these shares of Common Stock,  2,000,000
shares  are  being sold  in this  offering. Of  the remaining  shares, 8,000,000
shares ("Restricted Shares")  were issued  and sold  by the  Company in  private
transactions   in  reliance   upon  certain  private   placement  exemptions  as
promulgated by the Securities and  Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.  20549.
See "Certain Transactions."
 
                                       52

    In  general, under  Rule 144  as currently in  effect, a  person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated)  who has beneficially owned  his or her  Restricted
Shares  for at least two years, including persons who may be deemed "affiliates"
of the Company, as that term is defined under the Act, would be entitled to sell
in broker's transactions within any three  month period a number of shares  that
does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of the
Company's   common  stock,  or   the  average  weekly   trading  volume  in  the
over-the-counter market in the Company's  common stock during the four  calendar
weeks  preceding such sale. Therefore, during each three month period, beginning
January 9, 1997,  a holder of  restricted securities  who has held  them for  at
least  the two year period may  sell under Rule 144 a  number of shares at least
equal to 100,000 shares. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of
the Company  at any  time during  the  90 days  preceding a  sale, and  who  has
beneficially  owned his or her Restricted Shares for at least three years, would
be entitled to  sell such shares  under Rule  144 without regard  to the  volume
limitations described above, provided that certain public information concerning
the Company as required by the Rule is available.
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock of the
Company,  and no  precise predictions can  be made  of the effect,  if any, that
market sales of shares or the availability  of shares for sale will have on  the
market  price prevailing from  time to time.  Nevertheless, sales of substantial
amounts of the Common Stock  of the Company in  the public market may  adversely
affect  prevailing market prices  and may impair the  Company's ability to raise
capital at the time through the sale of its equity securities.
 
    Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the   Company's
restricted  stockholders  and the  Company have  agreed  not to  sell, transfer,
assign or issue any restricted shares of Common Stock for a period of 36  months
following the date of this Prospectus. The sale of a significant number of these
shares in the public market in the future may adversely affect prevailing market
prices  of  the Company's  securities  following this  offering.  See "Principal
Stockholders" and "Certain Transactions."
 
    No predictions can be made  as to the effect, if  any, that sales of  shares
under  Rule 144 or otherwise or the availability of shares for sale will have on
the market, if any, prevailing from  time to time. Sales of significant  amounts
of  the Company's shares of  Common Stock pursuant to  Rule 144 or otherwise may
adversely affect the market price of the securities offered hereby.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    The transfer  agent and  registrar  for the  securities  of the  Company  is
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company located at 40 Wall Street, New York, New
York 10005.
 
REPORTS TO SECURITY-HOLDERS
 
    The  Company  will  furnish  to holders  of  its  securities  annual reports
containing audited financial statements. The  Company may issue other  unaudited
interim reports to its security-holders as it deems appropriate.
 
    Contemporaneously,  with this offering, the  Company intends to register its
securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.  20549,
under the provisions of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended  ("Exchange Act"),  and, in  accordance therewith,  the Company  will be
required  to  comply  with  certain  reporting,  proxy  solicitation  and  other
requirements of the Exchange Act.

                                  UNDERWRITING
 
    Subject   to  the  terms  and   conditions  of  the  underwriting  agreement
("Underwriting Agreement") by and between  the Company and the Underwriter,  the
Company  has  agreed to  sell  to the  Underwriter  1,000,000 Units  on  a "firm
commitment" basis. The Underwriter has advised  the Company that it proposes  to
offer  the Units to the public at $7.00 per  Unit as set forth on the cover page
of this Prospectus and that it may allow to certain dealers who are NASD members
concessions not to exceed $.25 per Unit. After the initial public offering,  the
public  offering  price,  concession  and  reallowance  may  be  changed  by the
Underwriter. The Underwriter has informed the Company that it does not intend to
confirm sales to any accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.
 
    In addition to underwriting discounts and commissions of ten percent of  the
entire  offering, the  Underwriter will  receive additional  compensation in the
form of (i) a  nonaccountable expense allowance of  $210,000 if 1,000,000  Units
are  sold  (or  $241,500 if  the  Underwriter's Over-allotment  Option  is fully
exercised); and  (ii)  an  option  (exercisable  for  a  period  of  four  years
commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus) entitling the Underwriter
to purchase 100,000 Units at $11.55 per Unit ("Underwriter's Purchase Option").
 
    The  public offering  price of  the Units and  the exercise  price and other
terms of the Warrants  were arbitrarily determined  by negotiations between  the
Company  and the Underwriter and  do not necessarily relate  to the assets, book
value or results of operations of the Company or any other established  criteria
of value.
 
    The Company has granted an option to the Underwriter, exercisable during the
30-day  period from the date of this Prospectus,  to purchase up to a maximum of
150,000 additional Units at the offering price, less the underwriting  discount,
to cover over-allotments, if any.
 
    The  Underwriting Agreement provides  for reciprocal indemnification between
the Company and the Underwriter  against certain liabilities in connection  with
the  Registration Statement, including  liabilities under the  Securities Act of
1933, as  amended  ("1933  Act"). Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities
arising  under the 1933  Act may be  provided to officers,  directors or persons
controlling the Company, the  Company has been informed  that in the opinion  of
the  Securities and Exchange Commission,  such indemnification is against public
policy and is therefore unenforceable.
 
    The Company will  also pay  a warrant  solicitation fee  to the  Underwriter
equal  to four percent of the exercise price of the Warrants, beginning one year
from the date of  this Prospectus, if the  Underwriter solicits the exercise  of
such  Warrants  prior to  the expiration  thereof  as set  forth in  the Warrant
Agreement,  subject  to  the  Underwriter's   compliance  with  the  rules   and
regulations  of the NASD.  In accordance with  NASD Notice to  Members 81-38, no
warrant solicitation fee shall be paid (i) upon exercise where the market  price
of  the underlying Common Stock  is lower than the  exercise price; (ii) for the
exercise of warrants held in any discretionary account; (iii) upon the  exercise
of  warrants where disclosure of compensation  arrangements has not been made in
documents provided to customers both as part of the original offering and at the
time of  exercise;  and  (iv)  upon the  exercise  of  warrants  in  unsolicited
transactions.  The broker-dealer to receive the warrant solicitation fee will be
designated, in writing, as the soliciting broker. See "Risk Factors --  Exercise
of  Class  A  Warrants May  Have  Dilutive  Effect on  Market  and Underwriter's
Influence on the Market May Have Adverse Consequences."
 
    The Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriter, or its designees, for  an
aggregate purchase price of $100, an option ("Underwriter's Purchase Option") to
purchase  up to an aggregate of 100,000 Units. The Underwriter's Purchase Option
shall be exercisable during the four-year  period commencing one year after  the
effective  date of this  offering. The Underwriter's Purchase  Option may not be
assigned, transferred, sold or hypothecated  by the Underwriter until 12  months
after  the effective date of this Prospectus,  except to officers or partners of
the Underwriter and selling group members in this offering. Any profits realized
by the Underwriter  upon the sale  of the  Units issuable upon  exercise of  the
Underwriter's  Purchase  Option  may  be deemed  to  be  additional underwriting
 
                                       54
<PAGE>
compensation. The exercise  price of  the Units  issuable upon  exercise of  the
Underwriter's  Purchase Option during the period  of exercisability shall be 165
percent of the initial public offering price of the Units. The exercise price of
the warrants underlying the Units in the Underwriter's Purchase Option is $4.00.
The exercise price of the Underwriter's Purchase Option and the number of shares
covered thereby are subject to adjustment in certain events to prevent dilution.
For the  life of  the Underwriter's  Purchase Option,  the holders  thereof  are
given,  at a nominal cost,  the opportunity to profit from  a rise in the market
price of the Company's securities with  a resulting dilution in the interest  of
other  stockholders. The Company may find it more difficult to raise capital for
its business if the need should arise while the Underwriter's Purchase Option is
outstanding. At any time when the  holders of the Underwriter's Purchase  Option
might  be expected to exercise it, the  Company would probably be able to obtain
additional capital on more favorable terms.
 
    If the Company enters into a transaction (including a merger, joint  venture
or  the  acquisition  of  another  entity)  introduced  to  the  Company  by the
Underwriter, the Company has  agreed to pay the  Underwriter a maximum  finder's
fee  equal to five percent of the  first $3,000,000 of consideration involved in
the transaction, four percent of the next $3,000,000, three percent of the  next
$2,000,000, two percent of the next $2,000,000 and one percent of the excess, if
any, over $10,000,000.
 
    The Underwriter has the right to designate a non-director observer to attend
meetings  of the Company's Board  of Directors for three  years from the date of
this offering. The Underwriter does not have a right to designate or nominate  a
director  to the Company's Board of Directors.  The observer, which has not been
chosen, will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection
with his activities.
 
    Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the   Company's
restricted  stockholders  and the  Company have  agreed  not to  sell, transfer,
assign or issue any restricted shares of Common Stock for a period of 36  months
following the date of this Prospectus. The sale of a significant number of these
shares in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the
Company's  securities following this offering.  See "Principal Stockholders" and
"Certain Transactions."
 
    The foregoing  is  a  summary  of certain  provisions  of  the  Underwriting
Agreement  and  the Underwriter's  Purchase Option  which has  been filed  as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
 
    The Company has been  advised by the Underwriter  that the NASD (Direct  10)
filed  a complaint (No. C10950081) on  October 5, 1995 ("Complaint") against the
Underwriter, Steven  Sanders, the  head  trader of  the Underwriter,  Daniel  M.
Porush,  the  president of  the  Underwriter, and  Paul  F. Byrne,  formerly the
Underwriter's director of compliance (collectively, the "Respondents"), alleging
various violations of the NASD Rules  of Fair Practice. The complaint  consisted
of  three  causes. The  first  cause alleged  that  the Underwriter  and Sanders
effected principal retail sales of  securities at prices that were  fraudulently
excessive.  The second  cause alleged that  the Underwriter  and Sanders charged
excessive markups.  The third  cause alleged  that the  Underwriter, Porush  and
Byrne   failed  to  establish,  maintain   and  enforce  reasonable  supervisory
procedures designed to assure compliance with the NASD's rules and policies.
 
    On April 15,  1996 the NASD  in its  decision found all  of the  Respondents
except  Paul Byrne in  violation of all  three causes and  imposed the following
sanctions:
 
    - Sanders was censured,  fined $25,000  and was  suspended from  association
      with any member of the NASD in any capacity for a period of one year.
 
    - The  Underwriter was censured, fined $500,000 and was required to disgorge
      its excess profits to its customers, totaling $1,876,205, plus prejudgment
      interest. In addition, the Underwriter was  suspended for a period of  one
      year from effecting any principal retail transactions.
 
                                       55
<PAGE>
    - Porush  was censured, fined $250,000 and  barred from association with any
      member of the NASD in any capacity.
 
    The Underwriter,  Porush  and  Sanders have  appealed  the  NASD's  decision
thereby staying imposition of the sanctions.
 
    If  the sanctions imposed on the Underwriter are not reversed on appeal, the
Underwriter's ability to act as a market maker of the Company's securities  will
be  restricted. The Company cannot ensure that  other broker dealers will make a
market in the Company's securities. In the event that other broker dealers  fail
to  make a market in  the Company's securities, the  possibility exists that the
market for  and the  liquidity  of the  Company's  securities may  be  adversely
affected  to such an extent that public  security holders may not have anyone to
purchase their securities when offered for sale at any price. In such event, the
market for and liquidity of the Company's securities may not exist. It should be
noted that although  the Underwriter may  not be  the sole market  maker in  the
Company's  securities,  it  may  likely  be the  dominant  market  maker  in the
Company's securities.
 
    In April 1996, the NASD settled an action whereby it fined Stratton  Oakmont
$325,000  for fraud and other violations (which were neither admitted or denied)
in connection  with  its underwriting  of  an initial  public  offering.  Steven
Sanders  was  fined $50,000  and  was suspended  for a  period  of 45  days from
associating with an NASD member and agreed not to engage in any  trading-related
activities  for any  NASD member for  a period  of 50 days.  The settlement also
required that Stratton Oakmont file certain new supervisory procedures with  the
NASD.  The Underwriter filed with the NASD on April 11, 1996 procedures relating
to the conduct  of associated  persons during  and preceding  an initial  public
offering,  which  were  aimed  at  preventing violations  of  Section  5  of the
Securities Act of  1933 and Rule  10b-6 promulgated under  Section 10(b) of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  and aimed  at  preventing  SEC  Rule 10b-10
violations and the type of arbitrary  pricing which occurred in connection  with
the  trading of securities underwritten by  the Underwriter on January 16, 1991.
These procedures have been in effect since April 11, 1996.
 
    The Company has been advised by the Underwriter that the NASD (District  10)
filed  a  complaint (No.  C10960080)  on June  6,  1996 ("June  1996 Complaint")
against the Underwriter, Patrick  Gerard Hayes, the  compliance director of  the
Underwriter,  Daniel Porush, Steven Sanders, Irving Stitsky, a former registered
representative of the  Underwriter, and Jordan  Shamah, a vice  president and  a
director  of the Underwriter (collectively, the "Respondents"), alleging various
violations of the Exchange  Act and the  NASD Rules of  Fair Practice. The  June
1996  Complaint consists of seven causes of action. The first cause alleges that
the Underwriter, through Porush  and Sanders, engaged in  the use of  fraudulent
and  manipulative devices in the failure to make bona fide distributions in five
public offerings of securities underwritten by the Underwriter between June 1993
and April 1994. The second cause  alleges that the Underwriter, through  Porush,
Sanders,  Stitsky and Shamah, engaged in  the use of fraudulent and manipulative
devices in the failure to make a bona fide distribution of the common stock of a
company whose initial public offering  was underwritten by the Underwriter.  The
third  cause  alleges that  the Underwriter,  through Porush  and Sanders  for a
period of three days, manipulated the  common stock of such company. The  fourth
cause  alleges  that  the  Underwriter,  through  Sanders,  charged fraudulently
excessive markups in  connection with the  warrants of such  company. The  fifth
cause  alleges that the  Underwriter, through Porush,  violated the NASD's Free-
Riding  and  Withholding  Interpretation  inasmuch  as  he  allegedly  allocated
securities  in certain  public offerings  to persons  restricted from purchasing
such securities.  The sixth  cause alleges  that Porush  and Stitsky  failed  to
adequately  supervise the Underwriter's activity relating to the various alleged
violations. The seventh cause alleges that the Underwriter and Porush failed  to
establish   and  maintain  reasonable  supervisory  procedures  to  prevent  the
Underwriter's violative conduct. The Respondents  intend to file answers to  the
June 1996 Complaint denying all material allegations and alleged violations.
 
                                       56
<PAGE>
    In  addition, the Company has been advised  by the Underwriter that the NASD
(District 10) filed a  complaint (No. C10960068) on  June 6, 1996  ("Complaint")
against   the  Underwriter  and  the  compliance  director  of  the  Underwriter
(collectively, the "Respondents"), alleging violations of the NASD Rules of Fair
Practice. The  Complaint consists  of  two causes  of  action. The  first  cause
alleges  that the Underwriter failed to report information regarding at least 59
customer complaints the Underwriter received during the relevant time periods as
required by the NASD Rules of Fair  Practice. The second cause alleges that  the
Underwriter,  through its compliance director, failed to establish, maintain and
enforce written procedures designed to ensure that the Underwriter complied with
the NASD Rules of Fair Practice. The  Respondents intend to file answers to  the
Complaint and to contest the proceeding.
 
    The  Company has been advised by  Stratton Oakmont, Inc. that the Commission
instituted an action on  December 14, 1994 in  the United States District  Court
for  the District  of Columbia against  Stratton Oakmont.  The complaint alleged
that Stratton Oakmont was not complying  with the March 17, 1994  Administrative
Order  by failing to adopt the recommendations of an independent consultant. The
Administrative Order was  previously consented to  by Stratton Oakmont,  without
admitting  or denying the findings contained therein, as settlement of an action
commenced against Stratton Oakmont by the Commission in March 1992, which  found
willful violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws such that
Stratton Oakmont:
 
    -engaged in fraudulent sales practices;
 
    -engaged in and/or permitted unauthorized trading in customer accounts;
 
    -knowingly  and  recklessly  manipulated  the market  price  of  a company's
     securities by dominating and controlling the market for those securities;
 
    -made improper and unsupported price predictions with regard to  recommended
     over-the-counter securities; and
 
    -made material misrepresentations and omissions regarding certain securities
     and its experience in the securities industry.
 
    Pursuant  to the Administrative Order, Stratton Oakmont was censured and the
Stratton Consultant was  chosen by  the Commission  to advise  and consult  with
Stratton  Oakmont and  to review  and recommend  new supervisory  and compliance
procedures. The complaint sought:
 
    -a to enjoin Stratton Oakmont from violating the Administrative Order;
 
    -an order  commanding Stratton  Oakmont to  comply with  the  Administrative
     Order; and
 
    -to  have a Special  Compliance Monitor appointed  to ensure compliance with
     the Administrative  Order.  Stratton  Oakmont  claimed  that  the  Stratton
     Consultant  exceeded his authority  under the Administrative  Order and had
     violated the terms of the Administrative Order.
 
    On February 28,  1995, the  court granted  the Commission's  motion for  the
Permanent   Injunction  and  ordered   Stratton  Oakmont  to   comply  with  the
Administrative  Order,  which  required   the  appointment  of  an   independent
consultant,   and  a  separate   independent  auditor  and   required  that  all
recommendations  be  complied  with,  including  the  taping  of  all  telephone
conversations  between the  Stratton Oakmont's  brokers and  their customers. In
granting  the  Commission's  motion  for  a  Permanent  Injunction,  the   Court
determined that Stratton Oakmont's conduct unequivocally demonstrated that there
is  a substantial likelihood that it will continue to evade its responsibilities
under the Administrative Order. On April  20, 1995, Stratton Oakmont also  filed
an  appeal to the United  States Court of Appeals  for the District of Columbia,
and on April 24, 1995  filed a motion to  stay the permanent injunction  pending
the outcome of the appeal. The motion to stay was denied. Subsequently, Stratton
Oakmont  voluntarily dismissed  its appeal. The  failure by  Stratton Oakmont to
comply with  the  Administrative Order  or  Permanent Injunction  may  adversely
effect Stratton Oakmont's activities in that the court may enter a further order
restricting  the ability  of Stratton Oakmont  to act  as a market  maker of the
Company's   securities.    The   effect    of    such   action    may    prevent
 
                                       57
<PAGE>
the  holders  of the  Company's securities  from  selling such  securities since
Stratton Oakmont  may  be  restricted from  acting  as  a market  maker  of  the
Company's  securities and, in such event, will not  be able to execute a sale of
such securities. Also,  if other broker  dealers fail  to make a  market in  the
Company's  securities,  the  public  security holders  may  not  have  anyone to
purchase their securities when  offered for sale at  any price and the  security
holders may suffer the loss of their entire investment.
 
    As a result of the Permanent Injunction, the states of Pennsylvania, Indiana
and  Illinois  have commenced  administrative  proceedings seeking,  among other
things, to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license  to do business in such states.  In
Indiana,  the Commissioner suspended Stratton Oakmont's license for a three year
period. Stratton Oakmont  has appealed  the decision  and has  requested a  stay
pending appeal. The requested stay would maintain the status quo pending appeal.
In  Illinois, Stratton Oakmont  intends to file an  answer to the administrative
complaint denying the basis for  revocation. The District of Columbia  suspended
Stratton  Oakmont's license pending the outcome  of an investigation. The states
of North Carolina and  Arkansas also have  suspended Stratton Oakmont's  license
pending  a  resolution  of  the  proceedings  in  those  states.  The  states of
Minnesota, Vermont,  and Nevada  have served  upon Stratton  Oakmont notices  of
intent  to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license in  such states. The state of Rhode
Island has served on Stratton Oakmont a Notice of Intent to suspend its  license
in  that state. The state of Connecticut has served on Stratton Oakmont a notice
of intent to suspend or revoke registration in that state with a notice of right
to hearing.  In the  state of  Mississippi,  Stratton Oakmont  has agreed  to  a
suspension of its license pending resolution of certain claims and review of its
procedures and practices by the state authorities. In addition, Stratton Oakmont
withdrew  its registration  in the  state of  New Hampshire  (with the  right of
reapplication) and in the state of Maryland. There may be further administrative
action against  the firm  in Maryland.  The firm  withdrew its  registration  in
Massachusetts with a right to reapply for registration after two years, withdrew
its  registration in Delaware with a right  to reapply in three years and agreed
to a temporary cessation of business  in Utah pending an on-site inspection  and
further  administrative proceedings. Stratton Oakmont's  license in the state of
New Jersey was  revoked by  an administrative  law judge,  which revocation  was
affirmed  by the New Jersey  Bureau of Securities, and  an appeal has been filed
with the appellate  division of  the New Jersey  Superior Court.  The states  of
Georgia,  Alabama  and  South Carolina  have  lifted their  suspension  and have
granted Stratton Oakmont  conditional licenses. Such  conditional licenses  were
granted  pursuant to  an order, which  Stratton Oakmont has  proposed to various
states, which provides provisions  for: (i) the  suspension of revocation,  (ii)
compliance  with recommendations  of the  Consultant, (iii)  an expedited claims
mediation arbitration process,  (iv) resolution of  claims seeking  compensatory
damages,  (v) restrictions on  use of operating revenue,  (vi) the limitation on
selling group  members in  offerings underwritten  by Stratton  Oakmont and  the
prohibition of participating as a selling group member in offerings underwritten
by  certain  other NASD  member  firms, (vii)  the  periodic review  of Stratton
Oakmont's  agents,  (viii)  the  retention  of  an  accounting  firm,  and  (ix)
supervision  and training,  restrictions on trading,  discretionary accounts and
other matters. The state of Oregon, as a result of the Permanent Injunction, has
filed a notice  of intent to  revoke Stratton Oakmont's  license subject to  the
holding  of  a  hearing  to determine  definitively  Stratton  Oakmont's license
status, and Stratton Oakmont, in this  proceeding as well as other  proceedings,
expects  to be  able to demonstrate  that the  Permanent Injunction is  not of a
nature as to be a lawful basis to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license permanently.
Finally, Stratton Oakmont has received an order limiting license in the state of
Nebraska. Such proceedings, if ultimately  successful, may adversely affect  the
market  for  and liquidity  of the  Company's  securities if  additional broker-
dealers do  not make  a market  in the  Company's securities.  Moreover,  should
investors  purchase any of the securities in this offering from Stratton Oakmont
prior to  a  revocation of  Stratton  Oakmont's  license in  their  state,  such
investors  will not  be able  to resell  such securities  in such  state through
Stratton Oakmont but  will be required  to retain a  new broker-dealer firm  for
such  purpose. The Company  cannot ensure that other  broker-dealers will make a
market in the Company's securities. In the event that other broker-dealers  fail
to  make a market in  the Company's securities, the  possibility exists that the
market for  and the  liquidity  of the  Company's  securities may  be  adversely
affected to
 
                                       58
<PAGE>
such  an extent  that public  security holders may  not have  anyone to purchase
their securities when offered for sale at  any price. In such event, the  market
for,  and liquidity  and prices  of the Company's  securities may  not exist. It
should be noted that although Stratton Oakmont may not be the sole market  maker
in the Company's securities, it will most likely be the dominant market maker in
the  Company's  securities. In  addition, in  the  event that  the Underwriter's
license to do business is revoked in the states set forth above, the Underwriter
has advised  the Company  that the  members  of the  selling syndicate  in  this
offering may be able to make a market in the Company's securities in such states
and  that  such an  event  will not  have a  materially  adverse effect  on this
offering, although no assurance can be made  that such an event will not have  a
materially  adverse effect on this offering.The  Company has applied to register
this offering for the offer and sale of its securities in the following  states:
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois,
Louisiana,  New  York, Rhode  Island and  Virginia.  The offer  and sale  of the
securities of this  offering are  not available in  any other  state, absent  an
exemption from registration. See "Underwriting."
 
    The  Company has  been advised  by Stratton  Oakmont that  Honorable John E.
Sprizzo, United States Judge for  the Southern District of  New York, on May  6,
1994  denied  the  class certification  motion  in PAUL  CARMICHAEL  V. STRATTON
OAKMONT, INC., ET AL.,  Civ. 0720 (JES), of  the plaintiff Paul Carmichael.  The
class  action complaint alleges  manipulation and fraudulent  sales practices in
connection with  a  number of  securities.  The allegations  were  substantially
similar  and involve  much of  the same  time period  as the  Commission's civil
complaint (discussed above). The Company has further been informed that  counsel
for  the  class  action  plaintiff  sought  to  re-argue  the  motion  for class
certification, which motion for re-argument was denied.
 
DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE
 
    Prior to this offering, there has  been no public market for the  securities
of the Company. The initial public offering price for the Units and the exercise
price  of the Class A Warrants have  been determined by negotiations between the
Company and the Underwriter.  Among the factors  considered in the  negotiations
were  an analysis of the areas of activity  in which the Company is engaged, the
present state of the Company's business, the Company's financial condition,  the
Company's  prospects, an assessment of management,  the general condition of the
securities market  at the  time of  this  offering and  the demand  for  similar
securities  of comparable companies. The public  offering price of the Units and
the exercise  prices  of  the Class  A  Warrants  do not  necessarily  bear  any
relationship  to  assets,  earnings,  book  value  or  other  criteria  of value
applicable to the Company.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
Board of Directors
e-Net, Inc.
 
    We  have audited the  accompanying balance sheet of  e-Net, Inc. (a Delaware
Corporation) as of  March 31, 1996,  and the related  statements of  operations,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the period from beginning of operations
(June  8,  1995)  to  March  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  consolidated financial  statements referred  to  above
present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of e-Net, Inc.
as of March 31, 1996, and the results  of its operations and its cash flows  for
the  period from beginning  of operations (June  8, 1995) to  March 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1996
 
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
    e-Net,   Inc.  was  incorporated   on  January  9,   1995  with  an  initial
capitalization of 6,000,000  shares of  Common Stock  after giving  effect to  a
600:1  stock split in January 1996. The  Company commenced operations on June 8,
1995. The  Company  develops, markets,  and  supports open  client,  server  and
integrated  applications software that enables local, national and international
telephone communications, information  exchange and commerce  over the  Internet
and  private  networks.  The  Company  also sells  other  products  used  in the
management and billing of computer network, telephone and computer usage.
 
    The Company's operations to date have concentrated on continuing development
of its  products,  establishing  acceptance  of its  software  products  in  the
telecommunications  industry, providing  services to its  existing customer base
and securing financing necessary to  fund development, operations and  expansion
of  its  business.  Management believes  cash  flow provided  by  operations and
proceeds of  $1,000,000  from bridge  financing  described  in Note  B  will  be
sufficient  to sustain  operations in fiscal  1997. Additional  financing may be
necessary to provide for continued product development and further expansion  of
operations.  While assurance cannot be given as  to its success, the Company has
entered into a letter  of intent in  March 1996 with an  underwriter for a  firm
commitment offering of securities as described in Note G.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenue  is recognized on the sale of software products upon shipment unless
future obligations exist wherein a portion of the revenue is deferred until  the
obligation  is satisfied. Revenue from services rendered is recognized either as
the services are  rendered based  upon fixed  hourly rates  or at  contractually
determined fixed monthly fees. Approximately 20% of the total revenue recognized
was  derived from the sale  of software products. The  remaining revenue was the
result of providing services.
 
    For the period ending March 31, 1996, the Company derived 32%, 29%, 16%  and
13% of its sales from four customers, respectively.
 
    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    Accounts  receivable are  stated at the  unpaid balances,  less allowance on
uncollectible accounts, if any. Management periodically reviews its  outstanding
accounts   receivable  to  assess  collectibility  of  balances  based  on  past
experience and  evaluation  of  current  adverse  situations  which  may  affect
collectibility of receivables. At March 31, 1996, management deemed all balances
fully collectible and did not establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    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.
 
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property  and  equipment  are  carried  at cost,  net  of  an  allowance for
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed on equipment
and furniture, using a declining balance method over a five-year period.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1996
 
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
    Earnings per share for each period presented are based upon weighted average
shares outstanding  during  the  period  from June  1995,  the  date  operations
commenced, through March 31, 1996, adjusted retroactively, where applicable, for
the  effect of a 600:1 stock split  in January 1996. The weighted average shares
outstanding also  includes  the  weighted  average  effect  (35,617  shares)  of
1,000,000  shares of Common Stock issued in  March 1996 pursuant to the issuance
of the Bridge Units. The Bridge Units have otherwise not been taken into account
in computing earnings per share as the  value of the Bridge Units is  equivalent
to the Units offered in the Company's initial public offering. The effect of the
issuance  of  500,000  shares of  Common  Stock  in March  1996  for  a $250,000
promissory note has not  been reflected in  weighted average shares  outstanding
because  the note was cancelled  in June 1996 in exchange  for the return of all
such shares.
 
NOTE B -- SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
 
    PRIVATE PLACEMENT TRANSACTIONS
 
    In March  1996, the  Company issued  500,000  shares of  Common Stock  to  a
nonaffiliated  investment banking  firm in  a private  placement transaction for
aggregate consideration of $250,000, represented  by a full recourse  promissory
note  for the  entire purchase  price. In  June 1996,  this promissory  note was
cancelled in exchange for the return of the 500,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
    In March 1996, in a transaction arranged by the underwriter of the Company's
initial public  offering, the  Company was  loaned $500,000  by a  nonaffiliated
person.  Principal and interest computed at the  rate of eight percent per annum
becomes due at the earlier  of June 1, 1997, or  the closing date of an  initial
public  offering of securities of the Company which is expected to occur in June
1996. As  additional consideration  for  making such  loan, the  Company  issued
500,000  Units ("Bridge Units") each containing  two shares of Common Stock, two
Class A Warrants and two Class B Warrants to the lender. In June 1996, the  loan
principal  was converted to  paid in capital and  accounted for as consideration
for the 500,000 Bridge Units received  in connection with the loan. Inasmuch  as
these  Bridge Units have been issued  in contemplation of the proposed offering,
financing expense, valued using the  proposed offering price per share,  related
to  the issuance of these securities of  $3,000,000 will be recorded between the
date of issuance and the anticipated offering date, with a corresponding  credit
to paid-in capital. The value of $3,000,000 attributed to issuance of the Bridge
Units  was  computed  using the  offering  price  of the  Units  offered  in the
Company's proposed public offering less the amount of debt converted to paid  in
capital  in June 1996. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had accrued $614,865 of
this financing  expense. The  Company has  recorded the  loan of  $500,000 as  a
noncurrent  liability at March 31,  1996. It is not  practicable to estimate the
fair value of  this debt  as there  are no quoted  market prices  for debt  with
similar  terms.  The effect  of the  June  1996 conversion  of the  bridge loans
outstanding as of March  31, 1996 to  equity will be  recorded in the  Company's
fiscal 1997 financial statements.
 
    In April 1996, in a transaction arranged by the underwriter of the Company's
initial  public offering, the Company was loaned $500,000 by three nonaffiliated
persons. Principal and interest computed at the rate of eight percent per  annum
becomes  due at the earlier of  June 1, 1997, or the  closing date of an initial
public offering of securities of the Company which is expected to occur in  June
1996.  As  additional consideration  for making  such  loan, the  Company issued
500,000 Bridge Units identical to those issued in March 1996 as described above.
In June 1996, the loan principal was converted to paid in capital and  accounted
for  as consideration for  the 500,000 Bridge Units  received in connection with
the loan. Inasmuch as  these Bridge Units have  been issued in contemplation  of
the  proposed  offering,  financing expense  related  to the  issuance  of these
securities of $3,000,000 will be

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1996
 
NOTE B -- SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
recorded between the date of issuance and the anticipated offering date, with  a
corresponding  credit to paid-in capital. The  value of $3,000,000 attributed to
issuance of the Bridge Units was computed using the offering price of the  Units
offered  in  the Company's  proposed  public offering  less  the amount  of debt
converted to paid in capital in June 1996.
 
    Due to the significance of the transactions which occurred in April and June
1996, a pro forma balance sheet has been presented in the accompanying financial
statements to present the financial position of the Company as if the  following
transactions had occurred on March 31, 1996:
 
    -Proceeds  from $500,000  bridge loan in  April 1996 which  was converted to
     capital in June 1996 in connection  with the issuance of associated  bridge
     units.
 
    -Increase in the unamortized cost associated with the issuance of the bridge
     units  in  April  1996 and  corresponding  credit  to paid  in  capital for
     $3,000,000.
 
    -Decrease in the  unamortized cost  associated with the  issuance of  bridge
     units in March 1996 as a result of the conversion of debt to equity in June
     1996 of $500,000.
 
    -Cancellation  of the $250,000 note receivable  in June 1996 upon the return
     of 500,000 shares of common stock.
 
    ACQUISITIONS
 
    In June 1995, the Company acquired the rights and title to certain  tangible
assets  comprised  primarily  of  computer  equipment  and  peripherals, certain
products and intangible assets  related thereto, and  contract rights in  return
for  a promissory  note of  $50,000 and the  release of  the seller's obligation
valued at $75,000 for compensation formerly due to the president of the Company.
The Company allocated  the entire  purchase price  of $125,000  to the  tangible
assets  acquired based upon their fair value.  The portion of the purchase price
attributable  to  the  release  of  the  compensation  obligation  due  to   the
stockholder/officer  was  credited to  additional  paid in  capital.  The entire
principal balance due under the promissory note and interest thereon was  repaid
by the Company in March 1996.
 
    In March 1996, the Company acquired the right, title and interest to certain
inventions  and related patents ("Technology") from two individuals who are also
stockholders of the  Company in  an assignment of  patent rights  in return  for
future  royalties to each individual computed quarterly equal to 2 1/2% of gross
profit from products sold related to the acquired Technology. Royalties will  be
expensed  in the  period in which  related sales are  recognized. The assignment
agreement provides for the right of the individuals to repurchase the Technology
if the  Company fails  to make  reasonable efforts  to develop  and exploit  the
market  opportunities made available  by the Technology.  The agreement provides
that the Company allocate $1,000,000 of  paid in capital to develop and  exploit
the  market  opportunities  of  the  Technology by  December  31,  1996,  or the
Technology will be subject to repurchase by the inventors of the Technology.

NOTE H -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
    In  January 1996, the Company signed a  letter of intent to purchase certain
assets from an entity of which two of the three owners are also stockholders  of
the  Company. These assets  are prototype boards,  proprietary software code and
existing  research  and  development  relating  to  specific  computer  software
products.  In May 1996, the Company completed  the purchase for cash of $50,000.
Management intends to allocate the entire purchase price of $50,000 to  research
and  development expense and therefore, record  a charge to operations in fiscal
year 1997 for that amount. The entity  from which the assets are intended to  be
acquired  is  dormant and  contains no  assets other  than the  above intangible
assets. As a result, condensed financial statements of this entity have not been
presented.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 24.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    As  permitted by  Delaware law,  the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation
includes a provision which provides that a director of the Company shall not  be
personally  liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a
breach of  fiduciary duty  as  a director,  except (i)  for  any breach  of  the
director's  duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a  knowing
violation  of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, which prohibits the unlawful payment of dividends or  the
unlawful  repurchase or  redemption of stock,  or (iv) for  any transaction from
which the  director derives  an  improper personal  benefit. This  provision  is
intended  to afford directors  protection against, and  to limit their potential
liability for monetary damages  resulting from, suits alleging  a breach of  the
duty  of care by a director. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders of
the Company will  be unable to  recover monetary damages  against directors  for
action  taken  by them  that may  constitute negligence  or gross  negligence in
performance of  their  duties  unless  such conduct  falls  within  one  of  the
foregoing  exceptions.  The provision,  however, does  not alter  the applicable
standards governing a director's fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or  limit
the right of the Company or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other
type  of  nonmonetary  relief  in  the event  of  a  breach  of  fiduciary duty.
Management of the  Company believes this  provision will assist  the Company  in
securing  and retaining qualified persons to  serve as directors. The Company is
unaware of  any pending  or threatened  litigation against  the Company  or  its
directors  that would result in any liability for which such director would seek
indemnification or similar protection.
 
    Such indemnification  provisions are  intended  to increase  the  protection
provided  directors and,  thus, increase  the Company's  ability to  attract and
retain qualified  persons to  serve as  directors. Because  directors  liability
insurance  is only available at considerable cost  and with low dollar limits of
coverage and broad policy exclusions, the Company does not currently maintain  a
liability insurance policy for the benefit of its directors although the Company
may  attempt to acquire such insurance in  the future. The Company believes that
the substantial increase  in the number  of lawsuits being  threatened or  filed
against  corporations  and their  directors  and the  general  unavailability of
directors liability insurance to provide  protection against the increased  risk
of  personal liability resulting from such lawsuits have combined to result in a
growing reluctance on the part of capable persons to serve as members of  boards
of  directors of public companies. The  Company also believes that the increased
risk of  personal  liability  without  adequate  insurance  or  other  indemnity
protection  for its  directors could result  in overcautious  and less effective
direction and management of the Company. Although no directors have resigned  or
have  threatened  to resign  as a  result  of the  Company's failure  to provide
insurance or other indemnity protection from liability, it is uncertain  whether
the  Company's directors would continue to  serve in such capacities if improved
protection from liability were not provided.
 
    The provisions affecting  personal liability  do not  abrogate a  director's
fiduciary  duty  to the  Company and  its  shareholders, but  eliminate personal
liability for monetary damages for breach  of that duty. The provisions do  not,
however,  eliminate or limit the  liability of a director  for failing to act in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for authorizing the illegal  payment of a dividend  or repurchase of stock,  for
obtaining  an  improper personal  benefit, for  breaching  a director's  duty of
loyalty (which  is  generally  described  as  the duty  not  to  engage  in  any
transaction  which involves a  conflict between the interest  of the Company and
those of the  director) or for  violations of the  federal securities laws.  The
provisions  also  limit or  indemnify against  liability resulting  from grossly
negligent decisions including grossly  negligent business decisions relating  to
attempts to change control of the Company.
 
    The  provisions  regarding  indemnification provide,  in  essence,  that the
Company will  indemnify its  directors  against expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees),  judgments, fines and amounts paid  in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred  in   connection  with   any  action,   suit  or   proceeding   arising
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
out  of the director's  status as a  director of the  Company, including actions
brought by or  on behalf of  the Company (shareholder  derivative actions).  The
provisions do not require a showing of good faith. Moreover, they do not provide
indemnification  for  liability arising  out  of willful  misconduct,  fraud, or
dishonesty, for "short-swing"  profits violations under  the federal  securities
laws,  or for the  receipt of illegal  remuneration. The provisions  also do not
provide indemnification  for  any liability  to  the extent  such  liability  is
covered  by  insurance.  One purpose  of  the  provisions is  to  supplement the
coverage provided by such  insurance. However, as  mentioned above, the  Company
does  not currently  provide such  insurance to its  directors, and  there is no
guarantee that the Company will provide  such insurance to its directors in  the
near future although the Company may attempt to obtain such insurance.
 
    The provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might otherwise
be available to shareholders by limiting the liability of officers and directors
to   the  maximum  extent   allowable  under  Delaware   law  and  by  affording
indemnification against most damages and  settlement amounts paid by a  director
of  the Company in connection with  any shareholders derivative action. However,
the provisions do not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder  to
enjoin  a director from  taking actions in  breach of his  fiduciary duty, or to
cause the Company  to rescind  actions already  taken, although  as a  practical
matter courts may be unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in circumstances
in  which such actions have  already been taken. Also,  because the Company does
not presently  have  directors  liability  insurance and  because  there  is  no
assurance that the Company will procure such insurance or that if such insurance
is  procured  it  will  provide  coverage  to  the  extent  directors  would  be
indemnified under the provisions, the Company may be forced to bear a portion or
all of  the  cost  of  the director's  claims  for  indemnification  under  such
provisions.  If the Company is forced to bear the costs for indemnification, the
value of the  Company stock may  be adversely  affected. In the  opinion of  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission, indemnification  for  liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 is contrary to public policy and, therefore, is
unenforceable.

consideration of $100, or its par value at the time of issuance.
 
    In  March 1996, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to ATG
Group, Inc.,  a  Brookville,  New  York based  investment  firm,  in  a  private
placement  transaction for aggregate consideration of $250,000, represented by a
full recourse promissory note for the entire purchase price. The promissory note

manner whatsoever, with the Underwriter or any other member firm of the National
Association  of Securities Dealers, Inc. However,  in June 1996, ATG Group, Inc.
agreed  to  cancel  its  500,000  shares  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock   in
consideration of the cancellation of its $250,000 full recourse promissory note.
 
    Also,  in March and April 1996, the  Company borrowed $1,000,000 in a bridge
loan from  four persons  who  are nonaffiliated  with  the Underwriter  and  the
Company,  each  of whom  is  an accredited  investor,  to wit:  Edward Ratkovich
($500,000), Robert Foise ($250,000), Armstrong Industries ($200,000) and  Martin
Sumichrast  ($50,000),  at the  rate of  eight  percent simple  annual interest.
General Ratkovich  and  Mr. Sumichrast  are  officers, directors  and  principal
stockholders   of  Nasdaq   listed  companies   recently  underwritten   by  the
Underwriter. Mr. Foise and Armstrong Industries have previously participated  as
investors  in  companies recently  underwritten by  the Underwriter.  In further
consideration of the bridge loan, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of  Common
Stock,  2,000,000  Class  A Warrants  and  2,000,000  Class B  Warrants  to such
persons. However, in June 1996, such persons converted their loans to equity  in
consideration  of  the prior  issuance of  the  securities. See  "Description of
Securities."
 
    All unregistered securities issued by the Company prior to this offering are
deemed "restricted securities"  within the meaning  of that term  as defined  in
Rule 144 and have been issued pursuant to certain "private placement" exemptions
under  Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations  as  promulgated   by  the  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission,
Washington,  D.C. 20549, such that the sales of the securities were transactions
by an issuer not involving any public offering. See "Description of Securities."
 
    Reference is  also  made  hereby to  "Dilution,"  "Principal  Stockholders,"
"Certain  Transactions" and  "Description of  Securities" in  the Prospectus for
more information with respect to the previous issuance and sale of the Company's
securities.
 
    All of  the  aforesaid securities  have  been appropriately  marked  with  a
restricted legend and are "restricted securities," as defined in Rule 144 of the
rules  and regulations  of the  Securities and  Exchange Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20549. All of the aforesaid securities were issued for investment  purposes
only  and not  with a  view to redistribution,  absent registration.  All of the
aforesaid  persons  have  been  fully   informed  and  advised  concerning   the
Registrant,  its  business, financial  and  other matters.  Transactions  by the
Registrant involving the sales of these  securities set forth above were  issued
pursuant to the "private placement" exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933,
as  amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The
Registrant has been informed that each person is able to bear the economic  risk
of his investment and is aware that the securities were not registered under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as  amended, and cannot be  re-offered or re-sold until
they have  been  so  registered  or  until  the  availability  of  an  exemption
therefrom. The transfer agent and registrar of the Registrant will be instructed
to  mark "stop transfer" on its ledgers to assure that these securities will not
be transferred absent  registration or  until the availability  of an  exemption
therefrom is determined.

ITEM 28.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
    The undersigned  Registrant hereby  undertakes to  provide to  participating
broker-dealers,   at  the  closing,  certificates   in  such  denominations  and
registered in such  names as  required by the  participating broker-dealers,  to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
    The undersigned Registrant also undertakes:
 
       (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
           post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
           (i) To  include any  prospectus required  by section  10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act of 1933;
 
           (ii)To reflect in the  prospectus any facts  or events arising  after
               the  effective date  of the  registration statement  (or the most
               recent post-effective amendment  thereof) which, individually  or
               in   the  aggregate,  represent  a   fundamental  change  in  the
               information set forth in the registration statement:
 
           (iii)
               To include any material information  with respect to the plan  of
               distribution   not  previously  disclosed   in  the  registration
               statement or  any  material change  to  such information  in  the
               registration statement;
 
           Provided,  however, that  paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and  (a)(1)(ii) do not
           apply if the registration statement is  on Form S-3 or Form S-8,  and
           the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
           by  those paragraphs  is contained in  periodic reports  filed by the
           registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the  Securities
           Exchange  Act  of  1934 that  are  incorporated by  reference  in the
           registration statement.
 
       (2) That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under  the
           Securities  Act of 1933, each  such post-effective amendment shall be
           deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the  securities
           offered  therein, and  the offering of  such securities  at that time
           shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
                                      II-4
<PAGE>
       (3) To remove from  registration by means  of a post-effective  amendment
           any  of the  securities being registered  which remain  unsold at the
           termination of the offering.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
of  1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to  the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the  registrant
has  been advised that in the opinion  of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against  public policy as expressed  in the Act and  is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses  incurred
or  paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the registrant in the
successful defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by  such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the question whether such indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
