                                               value.
 
                                               800,000 Public Warrants. Each Public Warrant
                                               entitles the holder, for $5.50, to purchase

                                               four years commencing two years after the
                                               date of this Prospectus (the "Effective
                                               Date"). The Public Warrants are each
                                               redeemable by the Company for $.25 per Public
                                               Warrant at any time after one year from the
                                               Effective Date, upon thirty days' prior
                                               written notice to the Public Warrant holders,
                                               provided (i) the closing bid price of the
                                               Common Stock exceeds $7.50 per share for a
                                               period of 20 consecutive trading days ending
                                               on the fifteenth day prior to the date of the
                                               Company's redemption notice, and (ii) if such
                                               redemption occurs during the first two years
                                               following the Effective Date, the
                                               Representative has consented in writing to
                                               the redemption. Upon the giving of a notice
                                               of redemption, the Public Warrants will
                                               become exercisable if they were not otherwise

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION AND SHOULD ONLY BE PURCHASED BY INVESTORS WHO CAN
AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING
AN INVESTMENT, SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS AND SPECULATIVE
FACTORS, AS WELL AS OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HEREIN.
 
    LIMITED REVENUES; DEFICIT; POSSIBLE INABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
EMPHASIZED IN AUDITOR'S REPORT.  The Company was formed in November 1994 and had
a deficit of $2,153,025 as of December 31, 1996 and a deficit of $2,499,363 as
of March 31, 1997. Potential investors should be aware that unanticipated
problems, many of which may be beyond the Company's control, are commonly
encountered by companies seeking to commercialize new products. These include,
but are not limited to, unexpected product development, marketing and customer
support problems, increased competition, lack of credibility with customers and
suppliers, and technical obsolescence. Further, the Company had no significant
revenues prior to October 1996, had limited revenues of $294,734 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996, and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995
and 1996, had net losses of $567,162 and $1,565,704, respectively. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997, the Company had revenues of $437,799 with a net
loss of $346,338. There is no assurance that the Company will ever generate
sufficient revenues to meet expenses or be profitable. The Company's independent
auditors have emphasized the possible inability of the Company to continue as a
going concern in their audit report. See "Management's Discussion of Plan of
Operations", "Business" and the Financial Statements hereto.
 
    SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS; DEPENDENCE ON OFFERING PROCEEDS; POSSIBLE
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.  The Company has had significant working capital
deficits of $33,590, $541,359, and $957,460 at December 31, 1995, December 31,
1996 and March 31, 1997, respectively. The Company's capital requirements in
connection with the design, development and commercialization of its products
have been and will continue to be significant. To date, the Company has been
substantially dependent upon loans from its principal stockholders, as well as
private placements of its debt and equity securities, to finance its working
capital requirements. The Company is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering
to commence full-scale marketing activities in connection with its products, to
complete the development of additional product and software applications, and to
fund the Company's working capital requirements. The Company anticipates, based
on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to its operations, that the
proceeds of this Offering will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash
requirements for at least twelve months following the consummation of this
Offering. In the event that the Company's plans change or prove to be inaccurate
or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to fund operations,
the Company could be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently
anticipated or could be required to curtail its activities. The Company has no
current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing, and
there can be no assurance that existing stockholders will provide any portion of
the Company's future financing requirements. There can be no assurance that any
additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at
all. Additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to the
interests of the Company's then existing stockholders. See "Use of Proceeds" and
"Certain Transactions."
 
    BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.  Approximately $1,090,110 (34%)
of the Offering proceeds have been allocated to working capital. In addition,
management of the Company may adjust the application and allocation of the net
proceeds of this Offering, including funds received upon exercise of the
Underwriters' over-allotment option or the exercise of any Public Warrants, if
such adjustment is determined to be in the best interests of the Company in
order to address changed circumstances and opportunities. Furthermore, to the
extent that the Company's expenditures are less than projected, the resulting
balance will be retained and used for general working capital purposes. As a
result of the foregoing, the success of the Company will be substantially
dependent upon the judgment of the management of the Company with respect to the
application and allocation of the net proceeds hereof.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
Pending use of such proceeds, the net proceeds of this Offering may be invested
by the Company in interest-bearing accounts, or invested in government
obligations, certificates of deposit or similar short-term, low-risk
investments. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    BENEFITS TO RELATED PARTIES.  Frank J. Mancini, a director and a
shareholder, will be paid approximately $23,000 for consulting services from the
Offering proceeds. In addition, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds of
this Offering to pay salaries of its executive officers (estimated at $44,200
per month) and fees to Mr. Mancini for consulting services ($4,000 per month),
to the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient for such purposes.
See "Management--Employment Agreements," "--Consulting Agreements," "Use of
Proceeds," and "Certain Transactions."
 
    TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS; UNCERTAINTY OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMERCIALIZATION.  Although the Company has completed the development of the
technological aspects of certain of its products, which it believes perform the
principal functions for which they have been designed, the Company has only
commenced limited commercialization of its products for a limited number of
users. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that, upon widespread commercial
use, if any, these products or other products currently being developed by the
Company will satisfactorily perform the functions for which they have been
designed or that they will operate satisfactorily. The Company intends to use a
portion of the proceeds of this Offering in connection with product refinement
and enhancement of existing products and the development of additional products.
Product development, commercialization, and continued system refinement and
enhancement efforts remain subject to all of the risks inherent in development
of new products based on innovative technologies, including unanticipated
delays, expenses, technical problems, or difficulties, as well as the possible
insufficiency of funds to implement development efforts, which could result in
abandonment or substantial change in product commercialization. The Company's
success will be largely dependent upon its products meeting targeted cost and
performance objectives of full production and the timely introduction of its
products into the marketplace, among other things. There can be no assurance
that the Company's products will satisfy current price or performance
objectives, that unanticipated technical or other problems which would result in
increased costs or material delays in introduction and commercialization will
not occur, or that the Company's products will prove to be sufficiently reliable
or durable under actual operating conditions or otherwise be commercially
viable. Software and other technologies as complex as those incorporated into
the Company's systems may contain errors which become apparent subsequent to
widespread commercial use. Remedying such errors may delay the Company's plans
and cause it to incur additional costs, or otherwise have a material adverse
impact on the Company. See "Business--Products", "--Sales and Marketing" and
"--Patents and Copyrights."
 
    CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGICAL CLIMATE.  The high technology business in which the
Company participates is characterized by rapidly changing technology and
frequent new product introductions. The Company's success is dependent upon its
ability to develop and market its products on a timely basis. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in developing or marketing such
products to take advantage of the perceived demand for such products within the
motor protection and electric utility industry. In addition, there can be no
assurance that products or technologies developed by others will not render the
Company's products or technologies non-competitive or obsolete. See
"Business--Competition" and "--Sales and Marketing."
 
    UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE.  As is typical in the case of emerging and
evolving markets, demand and market acceptance for newly introduced products and
services is subject to a high level of uncertainty. The Company has not yet
commenced significant marketing activities relating to product commercialization
and currently has limited marketing experience and limited financial, personnel
and other resources to undertake extensive marketing activities. Acceptance of
the Company's products that
are geared to the electric utility industry will involve retrofitting electric
utility substations, which potential customers may be reluctant to do.
Consequently, potential customers may elect to utilize other products with which
they are familiar or which they believe to have more advantages over the
Company's products, or may otherwise be reluctant to purchase the Company's
products. Achieving market acceptance for the Company's products will require
substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
create awareness and demand by potential customers as to the perceived benefits
and distinctive characteristics of the Company's products. There can be no
assurance that the Company will have available funds or other resources
necessary to achieve such acceptance. See "Business--Sales and Marketing" and
"--Competition."
 
    LIMITED MARKETING CAPABILITIES AND EXPERIENCE; DEPENDENCE UPON THIRD-PARTY
RESELLERS.  The Company has limited marketing experience and has conducted only
limited marketing activities. The Company expects to continue to market directly
to certain accounts and to market through a network of independent
manufacturers' representatives and distributors. The Company's present
manufacturers' representatives and distributors are not subject to minimum
purchase requirements and can discontinue marketing the Company's products with
minimum notice. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
retain any of its present manufacturers' representatives or distributors, or
expand its existing distribution network. Loss of any such persons or the
inability to expand the existing distribution network could have a detrimental
effect on the Company's ability to carry out its intended plan of operations.
 
    The Company, directly and through its independent sales network, also
intends to establish a network of resellers, consisting primarily of value-added
resellers ("VARS") and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMS") with
established distribution channels to market the Company's products and to
educate potential resellers to install and service its systems. The Company's
prospects will be significantly affected by its ability to successfully develop
relationships with VARS and OEMS and the marketing efforts of such resellers.
While the Company believes that independent resellers with which it enters into
such arrangements will have an economic motivation to market the Company's
products, the time and resources devoted to these activities generally will be
controlled by such entities and not by the Company. The Company will also be
dependent upon such resellers to provide installation and support services. A
decline in the financial prospects of particular resellers or of any of their
customers, or inadequate installation and support services by resellers, could
have an adverse effect on the Company. In addition, such resellers will likely
market various product lines, including, in some cases, products directly
competitive with the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able, for financial or other reasons, to finalize any
third-party distribution or marketing arrangements or that such arrangements, if
finalized will result in commercialization of any of the Company's products. See
"Business--Sales and Marketing."
 
    DEPENDENCE UPON THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURERS.  The Company engages small
contract manufacturers to supply its products, pursuant to purchase orders. As
order volume increases, the Company has the flexibility of engaging larger
manufacturers with greater production capabilities. There can be no assurance
that its products can be manufactured reliably on a large-scale basis on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The Company is substantially dependent
on the ability of its third-party manufacturers to, among other things, meet the
Company's design, performance and quality specifications.
 
    Failure by the Company's third-party manufacturers to comply with these and
other requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There
can be no assurance that the Company's third-party manufacturers will dedicate
sufficient production capacity to meet the Company's scheduled delivery
requirements or that the Company's manufacturers will have sufficient production
capacity to satisfy the Company's requirements during any period of sustained
demand. Moreover, the electronics industry from time to time experiences short
supplies of certain high demand components, which may adversely affect the
Company's ability to meet its production schedules. Failure of manufacturers to
meet production demands of the Company, or allocations in the supply of certain
high demand components could adversely affect the Company's operations and
ability to meet its own delivery schedules on a timely and competitive basis.
There can be no assurance that if such problems develop at a time when the
Company is just beginning to deliver its products to the commercial marketplace,
the Company will be able to rectify such problems to avoid a material adverse
effect on its intended plan of operations or financial results. See
"Business--Manufacturing and Materials."
 
                                       9

    NO PATENTS OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REGISTRATION; POSSIBLE NON-EXCLUSIVITY
OF TECHNOLOGY; POTENTIAL LEGAL ACTION.  The Company has not yet applied for
patents or copyrights on its products, nor has it applied for trademark
registration for any of its products' names. Although the Company intends to
initiate patent and intellectual property applications for registration, there
can be no assurance as to the breadth or degree of protection which patents or
copyrights, if any, may afford the Company; that any patent and intellectual
property applications will result in issued patents or registered copyrights or
trademarks; that the Company's patents, copyrights or trademarks will be upheld
if challenged; or that competitors will not develop similar or superior methods
or products outside the protection of any patent or copyright issued to the
Company. Although the Company is not aware of the infringement of its
technologies by third-parties, and does not believe (nor has any party asserted)
that the Company's products infringe on the proprietary rights of others, it is
possible that any future patent or intellectual property rights of the Company's
may not be valid, or if valid, that infringement of such proprietary rights may
occur. In the event the Company's products infringe patents, intellectual
property rights or proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to
modify the design of its products, change the name of its products or obtain a
license for certain technology. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at
all. Failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect
upon the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will
have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent
infringement or proprietary rights violation action. Moreover, if the Company's
products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others, the
Company could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which
also could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
    The Company also relies on confidentiality agreements with its directors,
employees, consultants, and manufacturers and employs various methods to protect
the source codes, concepts, ideas, proprietary know-how, and documentation of
its proprietary technology. However, such methods may not afford complete
protection, and there can be no assurance that others will not independently
develop similar know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how or software
codes, concepts, ideas and documentation. See "Business--Patents and
Copyrights."
 
    COMPETITION.  The Company is introducing new high technology products into
markets that are dominated by competitors which have a significant share of the
market for microprocessor control relay products in electrical substations in
the United States. Current competitors such as General Electric, Siemens A.G.,
GEC Alsthom, Inc. and ABB Industrie A.G. have substantially greater financial,
marketing and technical resources, more established manufacturing capability and
distribution channels, stronger customer support organizations and greater name
recognition than the Company. Such current or future competitors may develop
competing technologies similar or more advanced than the Company's. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in current or
future markets. See "Business--Competition."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON KEY EXECUTIVES; RELATIONSHIP OF KEY EXECUTIVES.  The success
of the Company is dependent on the services and efforts of its existing key
management personnel. Ms. Clewes and Messrs. Clarke, Smith, Swatland and Louw
each have an employment agreement with the Company; however, the loss of the
services of one or more of its existing management personnel would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business. Mr. Clarke and Ms. Clewes are
husband and wife. The Company currently maintains key-man life insurance
policies on the lives of David W. Clarke, Christine Clewes and Steven D. Smith,
officers of the Company, and W. Haines Knox, an employee, but does not maintain
life insurance policies covering any other officer or employee. The Company's
success and plans for future growth will also depend on its ability to attract
and retain additional qualified personnel. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to hire or retain such personnel in the future. See
"Management."
 
    EXECUTIVE OFFICERS' LIMITED TIME WITH COMPANY.  The Company's Executive Vice
President of Operations, Vice President of International Sales and Vice
President of Sales have recently joined the Company.
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
Therefore there can be no assurance that they will be able to function
effectively as a group. The failure of the management team to work together
effectively could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
 
    NO INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS.  While following this Offering the Company intends
to elect two independent directors (including one designated by the
Representative), presently all of the directors of the Company are employed by,
or consultants to, the Company and receive compensation from the Company.
 
    IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.  Upon completion of this Offering, the
pro forma net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock, would be $.90,
representing an immediate dilution of $4.10 of pro forma net tangible book value
per share, or 82.0%, to the public investors and an increase of $.99 per share
to existing shareholders. The exercise of the Public Warrants included in the
Securities offered hereby will result in further dilution to the public
investors. See "Dilution."
 
    CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT.  Upon consummation of this Offering, David W. Clarke,
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and his wife,
Christine Clewes, Vice President, Marketing and a director, will beneficially
own 22.98% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Together, they may be in a
position generally to control the affairs of the Company. For example, these two
stockholders, individually and as a group, or together with others, including
directors and executive officers of the Company and other principal
stockholders, may be able to control the outcome of stockholder votes, including
votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption of amendments to the
Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws and the approval of certain
mergers and other significant corporate transactions, including a sale of
substantially all of the Company's assets. Such control by existing stockholders
could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of the Company. See "Beneficial Ownership of Principal Stockholders and
Management" and "Description of Securities."
 
    POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND INSURANCE.  The Company's products are designed for
electric power protection and control purposes. Should any of its products fail
in operation, the Company could have potential liability to its customers in
amounts which cannot be estimated. The Company maintains product liability
insurance with a $1,000,000 limit of coverage which it believes is adequate for
its potential liability. There can be no assurance that any insurance maintained
by the Company will cover, as to scope or amount, any claims made against the
Company or that appropriate insurance will be available in the future at
acceptable cost or at all.
 
    NO DIVIDENDS ANTICIPATED.  The Company does not intend to pay dividends in
the foreseeable future. Any earnings which the Company may realize in the
foreseeable future will be retained to finance the growth of the Company. See
"Dividend Policy."
 
    NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICES; POSSIBLE
VOLATILITY OF SECURITIES. Prior to this Offering, there has been no public
market for the Company's Securities. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be
sustained upon the completion of this Offering or that the market prices of the
Securities will not decline below the initial public offering prices. The
initial public offering prices of the Securities and the terms of the Public
Warrants have been arbitrarily determined by negotiations between the Company
and the Underwriters and do not necessarily bear any relationship to the
Company's assets, book value, net earnings, net sales or other established
criteria of value, and should not be considered indicative of the actual value
of the Securities. See "Underwriting." The stock market has, from time to time,
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which often have been
unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Regulatory
developments and economic and other external factors, as well as
period-to-period fluctuations in financial results of the Company, may have a
significant impact on market prices of the Securities.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    LIMITED EXPERIENCE OF THE REPRESENTATIVE.  The Company has entered into an
Underwriting Agreement with May Davis Group, Inc. under which that company is
the managing underwriter or representative (the "Representative"). The
Representative was organized in August 1993, was registered as a broker in June
1995, and became a member firm of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") in June 1995. The Representative is principally
engaged in retail brokerage and market making activities and various corporate
finance projects. The Representative has acted as a placement agent in private
offerings and has participated as a member of the underwriting syndicate or as a
selected dealer in one public offering and it has acted solely one time as the
lead manager in only one public offering of securities. While certain of the
officers of the Representative have significant experience in corporate finance
and the underwriting of securities, no assurance can be given that the
Representative's lack of experience as a lead managing underwriter of public
offerings will not adversely affect this Offering and the subsequent development
of a liquid public market in the Company's securities. See "Underwriting."
 
    POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF REDEMPTION OF PUBLIC WARRANTS.  The Public
Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company. Redemption of the Public
Warrants could force the holders to exercise the Public Warrants and pay the
exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the holders to do
so, to sell the Public Warrants at the current market price when they might
otherwise wish to hold the Public Warrants, or to accept the redemption price,
which may be substantially less than the market value of the Public Warrants at
the time of redemption. The holders of the Public Warrants will automatically
forfeit their rights to purchase the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of such Public Warrants unless the Public Warrants are exercised before
they are redeemed. The holders of Public Warrants will not possess any rights as
stockholders of the Company unless and until the Public Warrants are exercised.
See "Description of Securities--Warrants."
 
    CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION IN CONNECTION WITH
EXERCISE OF PUBLIC WARRANTS.  The Company will be able to issue shares of its
Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants only if there is a then
current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
the Public Warrants under an effective registration statement filed with the
Commission and only if such Common Stock is then qualified for sale or exempt
from qualification under applicable state securities laws of the jurisdictions
in which the various holders of Public Warrants reside. Although the Company
will use its best efforts to meet such requirements, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to do so. The failure of the Company to meet such
requirements may deprive the Public Warrants of any value and cause the resale
or other disposition of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Public
Warrants to become unlawful. See "Description of Securities--Warrants."
 
    POSSIBLE ADVERSE IMPACT ON MARKET OF WARRANT EXERCISE.  In the event of the
exercise of a substantial number of Public Warrants within a reasonably short
period of time after the right to exercise commences, the resulting increase in
the amount of Common Stock of the Company in the trading market could
substantially affect the market price of the Common Stock. See "Description of
Securities--Warrants."
 
    POSSIBLE ADVERSE IMPACT OF UNDERWRITERS' WARRANT.  In connection with the
Offering, the Company will sell to the Underwriters, for nominal consideration
of $10, an Underwriters' Warrant exercisable for 80,000 shares of Common Stock
at $8.25 per share and/or 80,000 Public Warrants at $.4125 per warrant. The
Underwriters' Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years, commencing
one year after the date of this Prospectus. The Underwriters' Warrant will not
be redeemable by the Company. The holders of the Underwriters' Warrant will have
the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Securities, if
any, without assuming the risk of ownership. The Company may find it more
difficult to raise additional equity capital if it should be needed for the
business of the Company while the Underwriters' Warrant is outstanding. At any
time when the holders thereof might be expected to exercise them, the Company
would probably be able to obtain additional capital on terms more favorable than
those provided by the Underwriters' Warrant.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
    The Underwriters have "piggy back" and demand registration rights with
respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrant
(and the Public Warrants issuable thereunder). Any future exercise of these
registration rights may cause the Company to incur substantial expense and could
impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the public sale of its
securities. See "Dilution," "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and
"Underwriting."
 
    UNDERWRITERS' SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE COMPANY.  The Company has entered
into an Underwriting Agreement with May Davis Group, Inc., the Representative
and managing underwriter, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has
granted the Underwriters a three-year preferential right with respect to future
financing relating to the offering of the Company's securities. The Underwriting
Agreement also gives the Underwriters the right, for a period of three years
from the Effective Date, to appoint a designee of the Underwriters as an advisor
to the Company's Board of Directors or, in the alternative, to designate one
person for election as a director of the Company. The Representative has
indicated to the Company that it intends to appoint a director, although such
person has not been identified. In addition, the Company has agreed to enter
into a management and financial consulting agreement to retain the
Representative as a financial consultant for a period of three years at a
monthly fee of approximately $2,187.50, payable in full, in advance, at the
closing of this Offering; the consulting agreement will not require the
consultant to devote a specific amount of time to the performance of its duties
thereunder.
 
    LIMITATION ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY UNDER DELAWARE LAW.  Pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and under Delaware law, directors of the
Company are not liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability in connection with a breach
of the duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for dividend payments or
stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or for any transaction in which a
director has derived an improper personal benefit. However, insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers, or
persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
    DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMERS.  Substantially all of the Company's sales for
the fiscal year ended 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997 were
derived from Jeanelac, US Steel and Phasetronics. The Company anticipates that
these companies will continue as major customers in the foreseeable future.
Therefore, the loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse
effect on the business of the Company. See "Business--Sales and Marketing."
 
    POSSIBLE DILUTIVE EFFECT OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS AND ADVERSE EFFECT ON
MARKET PRICE.  No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, that future
sales of Common Stock, or the availability of shares of Common Stock for future
sales, will have on the market price of the Common Stock from time to time.
Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock (including shares issued upon the
exercise of warrants or stock options), or the possibility that such sales could
occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and could
also impair the Company's ability to raise capital through an offering of its
equity securities in the future. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company
granted options for 351,500 shares of Common Stock to various employees of the
Company, 130,750 of which options are first exercisable commencing one year from
their respective dates of grant (approximately July 1, 1997 to November 21,
1997), 45,000 of which are first exercisable one year from the date of this
Prospectus, and the balance of which (175,750) are exercisable incrementally
over six months after their respective initial exercise dates, all at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share. Further, the Company issued a total of
150,000 common stock purchase warrants to three employees, which are exercisable
at $5.50 per share commencing one year from the date of this Prospectus until
September 26, 2001 as to two warrants and November 1, 2001 as to the third
warrant. The Company also issued common stock purchase warrants to consultants
for an aggregate of 950,000 shares, 400,000 of which are exercisable at $3.00
per share commencing one year
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
from the date of this Prospectus until May 10, 2001; 250,000 of which are
exercisable at $4.00 per share commencing June 1, 2000 (unless the Company
agrees to an earlier exercise) until June 1, 2002; 250,000 of which are
exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing June 1, 2000 (unless the Company
agrees to an earlier exercise) until June 1, 2002, and 50,000 of which are
exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing June 30, 2000 (unless the Company
agrees to an earlier exercise) until June 30, 2002. In addition, the Company
issued 250,000 common stock purchase warrants to private placement investors
which shall have the same exercise price and terms as the Public Warrants
offered hereby. Further, in connection with this Offering, the Company will
issue to the Underwriters an Underwriters' Warrant entitling the Underwriters,
for four years commencing one year from the date of this Prospectus to purchase,
for $8.25 per share, 80,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and/or 80,000
Public Warrants at a purchase price of $.4125 per warrant. The issuance of any
additional shares by the Company in the future may result in a reduction of the
book value or market price of the then outstanding Common Stock. For the life of
the Underwriters' Warrants, the Public Warrants, non-public warrants and
options, the holders thereof are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in
the market price of the Common Stock. Any rise in the market price of the Common
Stock may encourage the holders to exercise such warrants or options, which may
result in a dilution of the interests of other stockholders. As a result, the
Company may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital if it
should be needed for the business of the Company while such warrants and options
are outstanding. See "Description of Securities."
 
    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  Upon the closing of this Offering, there
will be issued and outstanding 3,304,794 shares of Common Stock, of which
800,000 shares will be freely tradable. The remaining 2,504,794 shares of Common
Stock are "restricted securities", as that term is defined under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act. Under recent amendments to Rule 144 by the
SEC, which are effective April 29, 1997, a person who has satisfied a one-year
holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three month
period a number of shares of Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of 1%
of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading
volume in such shares during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule
144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any
quantity or other limitaiton by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company
and who has satisfied a two-year holding period. Certain shareholders (excluding
officers and directors) holding 1,433,529 shares of restricted Common Stock,
will be eligible to sell such shares under Rule 144 as of the date of this
Prospectus as to 902,996 shares; July 1997 as to 25,333 shares; and, August
through December 1997 as to 528,500 shares. However, shareholders holding
1,133,989 of such shares have agreed not to sell those shares for periods
ranging from 13 months to 24 months from the Effective Date, without the prior
consent of the Representative. Future sales of substantial amounts of Common
Stock, or the potential for such sales, could adversely affect prevailing market
prices of the Company's securities.
 
    Each of the Company's directors and officers, holding a total of 1,071,265
shares of Common Stock and warrants, options and rights to acquire another
641,666 shares of Common Stock, have agreed not to publicly offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any Common Stock for a period of 24 months after the date
of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, with
the exception of 21,365 shares which are held by one of the Company's directors
as custodian for his children. All of such shares would, but for the lock-up, be
available for sale as of the date of this Prospectus, subject to certain volume
limitations and other requirements of Rule 144. Future sales of substantial
amounts of Common Stock, or the potential for such sales, could adversely affect
prevailing market prices. See "Shares Eligible For Future Sale."
 
    POSSIBLE RESTRICTIONS ON MARKET MAKING ACTIVITIES IN THE
SECURITIES.  Although they have no legal obligation to do so, the Underwriters
from time to time may act as market makers and otherwise effect transactions in
the Securities. Unless granted an exemption by the Commission from Regulation M
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the Underwriters
will be prohibited from engaging in any market making activities or solicited
brokerage activities with respect to the Securities for
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
the period from five business days prior to any solicitation by the Underwriters
of the exercise of any Public Warrant until the completion of such solicitation
activity. However, the foregoing 5-day restriction period is reduced to one day
where the security has an average daily trading volume of $100,000 and the
public float for the issuer's equity securities is at least $25 million; and,
there is no restrictive period where the average daily trading volume of the
security is $1 million and the public float for the issuer's equity securities
is at least $150 million. As a result, the Underwriters may be unable to
continue to provide a market for the Securities during certain periods while the
Public Warrants are exercisable. The prices and liquidity of the Securities may
be adversely affected by the cessation of the Underwriters' market making
activities.
 
    POSSIBLE DELISTING OF SECURITIES; NASDAQ SMALL CAP MARKET.  Prior to this
Offering, there has been no established trading market for the Company's
Securities and there is no assurance that a trading market for such Securities
will develop after the completion of this Offering. If a trading market does in
fact develop for the Securities offered hereby, there can be no assurance that
it will be sustained. Trading in such Securities is subject to official notice
of issuance that the Common Stock and the Public Warrants have been approved for
trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. If the listing is approved, the continued
trading of the Common Stock and the Public Warrants on the NASDAQ SmallCap
Market is conditioned upon the Company meeting certain criteria. The NASD, which
administers NASDAQ, currently requires that, in order for a company's securities
to be listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, the Company must have $4,000,000 in
total assets, a $1,000,000 market value of the public float and $2,000,000 in
total capital and surplus. Further, initial listing requires two market makers
and a minimum bid price of $3.00 per share. Continued inclusion on the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market currently requires two market makers and a minimum bid price of
$1.00 per share; provided, however, if the Company falls below the minimum bid
price, it will remain eligible for continued inclusion if the market value of
the public float is at least $1,000,000 and the Company has $2,000,000 in
capital and surplus. However, NASDAQ has recently proposed revisions to its
listing and maintenance criteria which if adopted would make it more difficult
for a company to become listed and thereafter maintain its listing. The proposed
new listing criteria, in so far as they would be applicable to the Company,
require a company to have net tangible assets of $4,000,000, a public float of
1,000,000 shares, a market value of the public float of not less than $5,000,000
and a minimum bid price of $4.00. The proposed new maintenance criteria require,
among other alternatives, net tangible assets of $2,000,000, a public float of
500,000 shares, a market value of the public float of not less than $1,000,000
and a minimum bid price of $1.00. NASDAQ has indicated that for companies, like
the Company, who are first listed after June 2, 1997 but before the proposed
rules are adopted and become effective, such companies will be listed under the
existing listing criteria but will have to satisfy the new listing criteria
within a period of 90 days after the new listing criteria become effective.
There has been no indication of when the new listing criteria will be approved.
 
    The Company cannot now satisfy the new listing criteria since its public
float after the completion of the Offering will be 800,000 shares and its does
not have $4,000,000 in net tangible assets. The Company is considering possible
alternatives for meeting the public float and asset requirements; however, there
is no assurance that the Company will be successful in meeting the new
requirements, or if successful, that it will be able to maintain its listing
under the new listing maintenance criteria. Should the Company not satisfy the
new listing criteria when required to do so, or should it be unable to satisfy
the NASDAQ maintenance criteria for listing, its Securities may be delisted from
NASDAQ, which delisting could materially adversely affect the trading market for
the Common Stock and/or the Public Warrants. In such event, trading in the
Securities would be conducted in the over-the-counter market known as the NASD
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, or more commonly referred to as "pink sheets."
The Representative is not presently permitted to make a market in securities
traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find
it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the
market value of, the Company's Securities. There can be no assurance that the
Securities will not be delisted. See "Underwriting."

    PENNY STOCK REGULATION.  In the event the Common Stock is delisted from
trading on NASDAQ SmallCap Market and the trading price of the Common Stock is
less than $5.00 per share, trading in the Common Stock would also be subject to
the requirements of Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under such
rule, broker/dealers who recommend such low-priced securities to persons other
than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales
practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized
written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's
written consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies
and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also require additional disclosure in
connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock"
(generally, according to recent regulations adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), any non-NASDAQ equity security that has
a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions),
including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the Common Stock
and the ability of purchasers in this Offering to sell their securities in the
secondary market. There can be no assurance that the Common Stock will not be
treated as a penny stock.
 
    ANTI-TAKEOVER CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDING POSSIBILITY OF FUTURE ISSUANCE OF
PREFERRED STOCK.  The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the
Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more series, having terms fixed by the Board of Directors without shareholder
vote, including voting, dividend or liquidation rights that could be greater
than or senior to the rights of holders of Common Stock. The rights of holders
of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be materially adversely affected by
the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of the Company. The Company's certificate of incorporation also
specifically adopts the governance of Section 203 of the Delaware Corporation
Law. Generally, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from
engaging, under certain circumstances, in a "business combination" ("Business
Transaction") with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after
the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested
stockholder (i.e., a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns
15% or more of the corporation's voting stock). The Board's authority to issue
preferred stock and the provisions of Section 203 could impede any merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company or
discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of the Company, and any such impediment could serve
to entrench management and may not be in the best interests of the Company's
shareholders. The Company has no current intentions or plans to issue any such
preferred stock. See "Description of Securities--Anti-Takeover Provisions of
Delaware Law; Certain Provisions in Certificate of Incorporation."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 800,000 shares of
Common Stock and 800,000 Public Warrants offered hereby (after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses of the Offering
approximating $994,260) are estimated to be $3,205,740 ($3,434,115 if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). See "Underwriting."
The Company expects such funds to be utilized over the next twelve months
approximately as follows:

(5) The Company may use a portion of the proceeds to pay salaries of its
    executive officers (estimated at $44,200 per month) and fees to Frank
    Mancini, a director, for consulting services ($4,000 per month until
    September 1, 1997) to the extent that cash flow from operations is
    insufficient for such purposes. See "Management--Employment Agreements," and

    The foregoing represents the Company's current estimate of the allocation of
the net proceeds of the Offering based upon certain assumptions relating to the
costs associated with the implementation of the Company's proposed business
operations. Future events, including problems, delays, expenses and
complications frequently encountered by companies which seek to develop new
technologies or establish new services or introduce services to a new market, as
well as changes in economic conditions, regulatory or competitive conditions,
and the success of the Company's marketing activities, may make shifts in the
allocation of funds necessary or desirable. There can be no assurance that the
Company's estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen expenses will
not be incurred.
 
    The Company believes that the net proceeds of this Offering will satisfy the
Company's capital requirements for at least twelve months. During those twelve
months, the Company's efforts will be directed at developing and implementing
its proposed business operations.
 
    Prior to expenditures, the net proceeds of this Offering will be invested
principally in high grade short-term interest-bearing investments. Any proceeds
received upon exercise of the over-allotment option or any of the Company's
Warrants will be used for working capital.

                                    DILUTION
 
    The pro forma negative net tangible book value of the Company at March 31,
1997 was $227,718 or $.09, per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value
per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book value of the Company
(total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the receipt of net proceeds from the
sale of the shares offered hereby, the pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book
value of the Company at March 31, 1997, would have been $2,978,022 or $.90 per
share of Common Stock, representing an immediate dilution of $4.10 (or
approximately 82.0%) per share to the public investors. The following table
illustrates the per share dilution:

OVERVIEW
 
    The Company was incorporated in 1994 for the purpose of engaging in the
development, production and marketing of protection relays for heavy industry
and electric utilities worldwide. The Company's initial products are a motor
protection relay developed to protect medium to large motors, and a feeder
protection relay designed to protect industrial equipment and utility
substations.
 
    From inception to September 1996, the Company's operating activities were
related primarily to recruiting personnel, raising capital, purchasing operating
assets and performing research and development.
 
    The Company's strategy is to develop products for heavy industry that are
price competitive and have performance and other features not found in
competitors' products. As part of product development, the Company first tests a
product at its facility and then "beta" tests the product. Beta testing is the
testing of the unit on a customer's site under the customer's normal operating
conditions with the understanding that there could be undetected "bugs" or
additional features which have not yet been implemented. Feedback from the
customer at the beta testing stage regarding the operation and features of the
unit are analyzed by the Company for possible modification of the unit prior to
final commercial release.The Company plans on beta testing two new motor
protection relay products in May and June 1997. Currently in development and
scheduled for beta testing in August 1997 is a new feeder protection relay. The
Company expects to have an overvoltage/undervoltage relay ready for beta testing
in September 1997. With these additional products, the Company will have a
complete range of relay products for heavy industry and power utilities. Each
new relay is more unique and has a wider potential customer base than its
predecessor. The final product in the Solaris protection relay family, NOVA, is
expected to outperform existing products and provide a range of substation
protection features that have never previously been available in the electric
power utility industry. The Company is in the process of having patent
applications prepared for a patent on NOVA; however, there is no assurance that
a patent will be awarded, or if awarded, there can be no assurance as to the
breadth or degree of protection which a patent, if any, may afford the Company;
that any patent will be upheld if challenged; or that competitors will not
develop similar or superior methods or products outside the protection of any
patent issued to the Company.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    REVENUES.  Prior to the year ending December 31, 1996, the Company had no
sales. For the year ended December 31, 1996 the Company had sales of $294,734
which generated a gross profit of $96,931. For the three months ended March 31,
1997, the Company had sales of $437,799 which generated a gross profit of
$203,274.

    OPERATING EXPENSES:  The Company's operating expenses have been about
$130,000 per month during the three months ended March 31, 1997. However, as the
Company expands operations, which the Company believes is essential to achieving
and maintaining market leadership, the Company anticipates that operating
expenses will increase.
 
    In order to meet its cash requirements until the consummation of this
Offering, the Company arranged for factoring and financing of its accounts
receivable. Under a factoring agreement between the Company and Queensbury,
Inc., a Florida corporation, some of whose shareholders are also shareholders of
the Company (none of whom is an officer, director or principal shareholder of
the Company), the Company sold accounts receivable at a 6% discount, plus pays a
fee on the outstanding balance at the rate of 1% per month. The Company is
obligated to repurchase accounts which are delinquent for six consecutive
months. This agreement was terminated effective December 31, 1996, at which time
accounts receivable sold under the agreement were $160,350. At March 31, 1997,
$156,010 of such amount remained uncollected.
 
    The factoring agreement was converted to a revolving line of credit
agreement between the Company and the same lender, effective January 1, 1997.
Under that agreement, the Company may borrow 94.5% of the face amount of
accounts receivable which are collateral for the loans. Interest accrues at 1%
per month and is payable monthly on the outstanding principal balance of each
such loan. The loans are repaid at 100% of the face amount of the collateralized
accounts as the Company receives payments from the customers. The maturity date
for amounts owed under the loan agreement is December 31, 1998. The maximum
amount available under the agreement is $500,000 and at March 31, 1997, there
was an outstanding obligation of $257,241 under this agreement.
 
    Additionally, the Company entered into a cash advance and security agreement
with Framan Company, a business entity owned by Frank J. Mancini, a shareholder
and a director of the Company. Under the agreement, Framan Company advances
funds to the Company for the purchase of parts inventory and equipment and
receives a security interest in the parts and equipment. The advances accrue
interest at 2% above the prime rate and are payable interest only commencing on
the first business day of the month following the closing of the Offering and
continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter until the
outstanding principal and all accrued interest is repaid. Principal is due and
payable one-half on the earlier of June 1, 1999, or the last day of the first
fiscal quarter that the Company's gross revenue exceeds $500,000, subject to
cash flow; and one-half, or more, of the then outstanding principal balance is
due and payable on the last day of each subsequent fiscal quarter that the
Company's gross revenue exceeds $500,000, subject to cash flow. Outstanding
principal and interest is to be paid in full on or before December 31, 1999. As
of March 31, 1997, the Company had been advanced $449,151 under this agreement.
 
    The Company believes that the foregoing arrangements will allow the Company
to have cash available to meet its operating expenses, including inventory
requirements, until the closing of this Offering.
 
    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:  Research and development expenses consist
primarily of salaries and consulting fees to support technological product
development. Costs of software to be sold, incurred after technological
feasibility has been established and until it is available for general release,
are capitalized. Salaries and other material costs are expensed. The Company
believes that continuous development will occur for new products and has added
four new engineers to replace consultants which the Company believes will be
more cost efficient.
 
    During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, and the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the Company spent approximately $334,750 and $106,366,
respectively, on research and development. Expected research and development
costs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 are estimated to be $300,000
in salaries for software engineers (4 persons); $300,000 in salaries for
hardware engineers (8 persons); $150,000 for engineering equipment; and $150,000
for product tooling.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
    SALES AND MARKETING:  Sales and marketing expenses, which currently
represent less than 10% of expenses, will grow as more products are developed.
The Company currently develops its own marketing materials in-house to save
costs; however, since the Company is planning to penetrate a global market
place, the Company expects these costs to increase at a faster rate than other
costs.
 
    EXECUTIVE OFFICER SALARIES.  Salaries for the Company's five executive
officers for fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 are expected to aggregate
$530,000. See "Management--Employment Agreements."
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    As of March 31, 1997, the Company had federal net operating loss carry
forwards of approximately $2,460,000. This net operating loss can be carried
forward for fifteen years to offset future taxable income.
 
FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS
 
    As a result of the Company's limited operating history, the Company does not
have historical financial data for a significant number of periods on which to
base planned operating expenses. Additionally, the Company has not yet generated
enough revenue to become profitable on a month-to-month basis. Accordingly, the
Company's expense levels are based entirely on its expectations as to future
revenues and to a large extent are variable. The Company in the past used
outside independent contractors to support its limited number of development
personnel. However, the Company found that development schedules were difficult
to control and the Company experienced unanticipated development cost overruns.
The Company plans to hire additional personnel and to fund internal research and
development at a level sufficient to meet the Company's planned introduction of
new products. Additionally, the Company plans to increase its sales and
marketing expenses to increase potential customer awareness of its products. The
Company currently has 23 employees and anticipates hiring approximately another
14 employees within twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
 
    The Company distributes its products to customers directly and through
independent manufactures' representatives and distributors. The Company
anticipates that its largest customer base will be OEMS; however, the Company is
just beginning to exploit the OEM market and it is uncertain whether the Company
can timely supply products in the quantities that OEMS may require.
 
    The Company is dependent on and intends to use the proceeds of this Offering
to implement its proposed expansion. The Company anticipates, based on currently
proposed plans and assumptions relating to its operations (including the costs
associated with, and the timetable for, its proposed expansion), that the
proceeds of this Offering, together with projected cash flow from operations,
will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for at least
twelve months following the successful consummation of this Offering.
 
    The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations to future
quarterly operating results that may be caused by many factors, including demand
for the Company's products, introduction of new technological developments, the
introduction, enhancement and market acceptance of new and existing products,
the introductions of competing products, and general economic conditions.
Further, the Company's products have long sales cycles. Occasionally, a product
may be evaluated by customers for a period of time, after which the Company may
be required to modify the product to meet the customer's needs, after which the
product is evaluated again prior to a purchase order being issued. Payment for
foreign sales is normally net 60 days and net 30 days for domestic sales. The
Company anticipates that a significant portion of its business will come from
foreign sales. As a result, the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and
should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    To date, the Company has primarily financed its operations through private
sales of equity and debt securities as well as loans and capital contributions
by stockholders including the factoring and accounts receivable financing and
cash advance agreements.
 
    From December 1994 to December 1995, the Company raised in the aggregate
$580,000 through the sale of Common Stock. On June 3, 1995 certain stockholders
advanced $122,154 to the Company which has been partially repaid leaving a
balance at October 31, 1996 of $85,121. During January to April of 1996 a
stockholder advanced the Company $60,840 which was subsequently converted to
64,994 shares of Common Stock. During January to April of 1996, the Company
borrowed an aggregate of $178,087, which principal amount plus interest totaling
$190,703 was converted to 203,726 shares of Common Stock. During March to May
the Company sold convertible debentures for net proceeds of $54,980. These were
converted to 25,333 shares of Common Stock effective July 1, 1996. On May 15,
1996 the Company completed a bridge financing of $250,000 which was repaid from
proceeds of a subsequent private placement. Starting in June 1996 through
November 15, 1996, the Company conducted a private placement in which the
Company sold 50 units resulting in net proceeds of $1,305,000 after payments to
the placement agent. See "Certain Transactions."
 
    The Company began generating sales in October 1996 and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997 had sales of
$294,734 and $437,799, respectively. During the three months ended March 31,
1997, the Company shipped approximately 373 FPRI units and 58 CMPR2 units.
During the six months ended September 30, 1997, the Company expects to ship
approximately 1200 FPR1 units and approximately 180 CMPR2 units to customers in
North America, Taiwan, Brazil and South Africa. Additionally, the Company has
orders subject to satisfactory completion of development and beta testing for
certain of its other products. The Company believes that the revenue to be
generated from these sales together with the proceeds from this Offering will be
sufficient to meet its anticipated needs for working capital, capital
expenditures, new research and development, and increased engineering staff for
at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, sales from products that have been
developed in 1996 are expected to provide sufficient cash or provide the basis
for conventional bank financing for growth of accounts receivable and inventory.
Prior to the closing of this Offering, the Company expects to utilize its line
of credit under the revolving line of credit and cash advance agreements in
order to generate cash.
 
PROPOSED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
    On June 14, 1996, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued an exposure draft of a Statement of Position on Software Revenue
Recognition which may require the Company to change their method of recognizing
revenue effective for the year ending December 31, 1997. The Company has not
analyzed or determined the effect, if any, which may result, but management of
the Company does not believe there will be a material effect of such change and
any change would be charged to operations.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
    Apollo International of Delaware, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in
Delaware in November, 1994 with its principal place of business located in
Apollo Beach, Florida. The Company designs and sells to industry and electric
utilities electric power protection and control products utilizing new computer
and fiber optics technologies. The Company is developing concurrently two
product lines, the first of which (designated as "CMPR" products) is designed to
monitor motors used by industrial users, and the second of which (designated as
"SOLARIS" or "NOVA" products), is designed to monitor electric power
transmission for industrial users and electric utilities. The target market for
the motor protection and control product line is industrial end users such as
steel mills, mining operations, pulp and paper mills, and petrochemical
companies. The NOVA product line is designed for the utility substation
marketplace which includes, public and investor owned utilities, cogeneration
facilities, and large industrial users who operate their own electric power
substations. The following discussion contains forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors
that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those
discussed in "Risk Factors."
 
PRODUCTS
 
    THE CONTROL AND MOTOR PROTECTION RELAYS (CMPR).
 
    The CMPR products are motor protection relays designed for the medium to
heavy industrial electric motor market. The CMPR is a hardware and software
package designed to provide a high level of protection to expensive electric
motors used throughout heavy industries such as mining operations, chemical and
petrochemical, steel mills, and paper manufacturing facilities. The CMPR, which
is attached to a motor directly or indirectly through a circuit breaker, is a
digital protection device (relay) similar to a circuit breaker that monitors the
motor and either shuts down the motor or sets off an alarm upon detection of
irregularities such as shorts to ground, loss of a phase of power, overheating,
failing gears, or an unbalanced rotor. The CMPR offers an advantage over other
types of motor protection devices because it contains its own "intelligence" and
as such is not required to communicate with any other "off-site" device for
instructions before making the decision to shut down a motor, sound an alarm, or
do nothing.
 
    The Company is currently marketing the CMPR2 relay which is designed to
protect motors with a minimum of 5000 horsepower. The motor protection and
control products share a common technology and the Company anticipates
developing and marketing variations of the CMPR2 offering varying degrees of
motor protection (i.e., monitoring voltage, ground current, motor temperature)
and/or control (i.e., starting up and shutting down the motors), depending on
the types of motors and needs of potential customers. Under current development
and scheduled for beta testing in May 1997 is the CMPR1 relay product which is
designed for small to medium motors with horsepower ranging from 100 HP to 5,000
HP. The CMPR1 products are versions of the CMPR2 in a streamlined package with
fewer features selling at a lower price. Management believes that the market is
substantially larger for the CMPR1 than for the CMPR2 due to the larger number
of lower horsepower motors used in industry. The Company expects to release the
first of such products in the second quarter of 1997. The Company also has in
development another variation of the CMPR2 which is designed for motors which
require more control features than motor protection features (the MCR1-motor
control relay). The Company anticipates that this product will be ready for beta
testing by the third quarter of 1997. Also in development is the SMPR1
(synchronious motor protection relay) which the Company expects to have ready
for beta testing approximately in the third quarter of 1997. The price range for
a CMPR2 motor protection relay is $2,195 to $3,734 per unit, depending on the
number of added features the customer requests. The CMPR1 price range is
expected to be $1,095 to $1,570 per unit. The Company expects to price the SMPR1
synchronious motor protection relay at $1,595 per unit.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
    THE NOVA PRODUCT FAMILY
 
    The NOVA product line is a family of feeder breaker relays that are designed
to provide protection and control for both electric power utility substations
and heavy industrial facilities operating their own substations. The Company
believes NOVA's unique design will perform more rapidly than existing products
and provide a range of substation protection features that previously have not
been available in the Company's target markets. Ultimately, the NOVA products
will be self-contained, stand alone devices (i.e., act independently with their
own intelligence without having to communicate with a remote or off-site device
for instruction) that monitor and send communications regarding irregularities
in power transmission (i.e., loss of electric power from a transformer, an
imbalance in power, shorts to ground, etc.). The NOVA feeder breaker relays will
be installed in electric power substations (which contain transformers and
breakers). A transformer is a device that transforms variations of electric
current into variations of voltage and current and sends power to different
locations over several feeder lines, which, in turn, pass through other, smaller
down-stream substations, where power is eventually disseminated to final
destinations such as hospitals, office buildings, industrial plants and
residential areas. On each such feeder line is a feeder breaker to which relays
are attached. The relays tell the breaker to open or shut in response to
irregularities in power transmission. The relays currently used by electric
power utilities (and industries that have their own electric power substations)
do not have their own "intelligence" and therefore must first communicate with a
remote terminal unit ("RTU") or a programmable logic controller ("PLC") before
reacting. The RTU/PLC contains the information necessary to analyze the problem,
make a decision and transmit that decision to the relay, which then reacts by
either shutting off or opening up the breaker. On the other hand, NOVA relays
are designed to contain their own intelligence and therefore can respond more
quickly to a problem.
 
    The Company is initially developing three models of its NOVA line. The first
model "Solaris" (FPR1), is designed primarily for use by heavy industry. Solaris
is a solid state digital tripping device for large industrial breakers. It can
be programmed to trip the breaker under certain conditions or to send an alarm
under other circumstances. The Company anticipates that the Solaris will benefit
major industrial operations where there is a multitude of motor-operated
equipment (i.e., conveyor belts, paint stations, robotics, machinery), which may
be synchronized and where precise monitoring of motor functions is critical. The
price for the Solaris FPR1 is $1,095 per unit.
 
    In development is a more sophisticated version of Solaris (FPR3) which is
expected to be beta tested during May 1997 and, subject to successful testing,
commercially marketed by the third quarter of 1997. The FPR3 model is designed
for the electric power utility industry and has automatic reclosure capability
when tripped. It will contain more information than current feeder breaker
relays, but will still communicate with the RTU or PLC. However, it will provide
more information to the RTU/PLC, thereby shortening processing and response time
by the RTU/PLC. The projected price for the FPR3 unit is $1,695. An FPR2 model
will be a scaled-down version of the FPR3 for which the Company has not yet
determined a price. It is anticipated that the FPR2 model will be ready for beta
testing during June 1997.
 
    The Company also has in development a feeder protection relay with automatic
closure capability and under/over voltage protection and a feeder protection
relay with automatic closure and direction determination capability. The Company
has not established beta test dates or prices for these products.
 
    The Company's flagship product will be the most sophisticated version of
feeder breaker relays in the NOVA family and its development is scheduled to
commence during the third quarter of 1997. This NOVA design is expected to
perform more rapidly than existing products and provide a range of substation
control features that have never previously been available in the electric power
utility industry. Each feeder breaker relay will be self contained, having its
own intelligence and ability to react independently of an RTU/PLC, thus
rendering the RTU/PLC obsolete. Each NOVA unit is designed to communicate with
other NOVA units and the customer via a high speed data network. By combining
self contained intelligence and communications via fiber optics and
sophisticated software, the response time to an
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
electrical irregularity is expected to be reduced to milliseconds from several
seconds. In addition to a faster response time, the Company anticipates that
electric utilities will save the cost of an expensive RTU/PLC plus the cost of
wiring. The Company estimates that wiring requirements will be reduced by
two-thirds with the NOVA flagship system. The commercial availability of the
product will depend on beta testing results and any refinements that may be
required. At this time the Company expects to commence beta testing the product
in the third quarter of 1997. As with the CMPR product line, the NOVA product
line will share a common technology with variations for emphasizing different
purposes.
 
MANUFACTURING AND MATERIALS
 
    The Company develops and designs its products, the associated test
procedures and produces assembly and operations manuals for customers' use. The
Company contracts with third party manufacturers for the manufacture of product
components which the Company assembles at its facilities. The Company believes
that such relationships will afford the most competitive pricing and the Company
will not be dependent on one source for production. However, the Company has
limited control over the manufacturing process from the perspective of quality
control and production of a sufficient number of products to meet demand.
 
    The Company purchases raw materials for its products from approximately
eight suppliers. Since industry standard components are typically used to
produce the Company's products, there are many sources for raw materials and the
Company is not dependent on any one supplier of materials. Suppliers for custom
components, such as printed circuit boards, can be quickly tooled in the event
of an interruption in supply by the Company's current vendors.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
    During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the Company spent approximately $334,750 and $106,366,
respectively, on research and development. The Company plans to further expand
its engineering department to focus on research and development of additional
products, including the completion of the NOVA line of products utilizing the
proceeds of this Offering. These "design teams" will work closely with the
Company's field engineers, sales and marketing staff to evaluate additional
customer needs and to further advance the state of its substation control and
motor protection product development.
 
PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
 
    The Company is in the process of having patent applications prepared for
certain individual modules of its products. The Company has not previously
applied for patent or copyright protection for its products nor has it conducted
a patent search (other than through university library resources and the
Internet) due to a lack of sufficient working capital. Although the Company has
not determined whether various products are patentable as a whole, or even
whether it can obtain patents and copyrights on certain components, the Company
plans to obtain copyrights and patents on the various modules of the overall
system, which the Company anticipates will provide an effective barrier to
infringement by third parties. Although the Company anticipates obtaining
patents for the NOVA system and/or its various modules, the patent process is
long and complex, and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful
in obtaining patents on any or all of its products. There may be other, similar
products currently being developed or subject to superior patents or copyrights,
thereby subjecting the Company to potential liability claims based on patent or
copyright infringement. See "Risk Factors--No Patents or Intellectual Property
Registration; Possible Non-Exclusivity of Technology; Potential Legal Action."
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
SALES AND MARKETING
 
    The Company has been establishing relationships with a network of
independent manufacturer's representative organizations strategically located
throughout the United States and selected international markets for the
marketing of its Solaris and NOVA products. As of the date of this Prospectus,
the Company has entered into agreements with 13 domestic and 6 international
representatives. The Company also expects to enter into agreements with domestic
and international OEMS, VARS and systems integrators. The Company also plans to
sell directly to certain customers. The Company's marketing strategy utilizes
public relations, trade media advertising, product sales materials and other
direct distributor and customer relations support.
 
    The Company plans to first concentrate its internal marketing efforts on
forging contractual relationships with OEMS and permit the OEM to put its own
label on certain CMPR products. In January, 1996 the Company entered into its
first OEM agreement with Phasetronics, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of
solid state power and motor control products, some of which are distributed
under the "Motortronics" label. Under the agreement, the Company supplies its
CMPR motor protection relays to the Phasetronics, on a non-exclusive basis, who
in turn distributes the relays worldwide under its own Motortronics label. The
agreement has a term of two years and to date, the Company has sold 24 relays
under this agreement and has received a purchase order for another 100 relays,
deliverinig 30 units during the three months ended March 31, 1997. Delivery of
the remaining 70 units is yet to be scheduled.
 
    The Company expects to enter into similar arrangements with other OEMS. The
Company believes that this marketing effort will give the Company exposure to
some of the largest users of electric motor power in the United States.
 
    The Company entered into a second agreement with Phasetronics pursuant to
which the Company agreed to design, develop, manufacture and supply that company
with a solid state digital starter module (inclusive of communications control
software) according to specifications supplied by the OEM. The OEM expects to
use the module in the development and marketing of a digital soft start device
for motors. The module has been completed and delivered to the customer.
Although the Company does not have any current plans to enter into similar
product development arrangements with other companies, preferring instead to
sell completed products to the OEM market, in the future the Company may enter
into agreements with third parties to develop specific products for them.
 
    As the Company diversifies its customer base, it will have less dependence
on any one customer. The majority of the Company's 1996 sales were allocated
between Jeanelac (37%), US Steel (30%), and Phasetronics (28%). During the three
months ended March 31, 1997, the majority of the Company's sales were allocated
between Jeanelac (67%), US Steel (20%), and Phasetronics (7%). Both Jeanelac, a
distributor, and Phasetronics, an OEM, resell the Company's products to numerous
end users. The loss of any one of these customers during the Company's initial
growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, the Company
has begun selling products to Hawker Siddeley and Iscor Steel and contracts have
been signed with distributors in Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Taiwan and
Namibia who have placed initial inventory orders. The Company is currently
conducting negotiations with distributors and/or end users in China and the
United Kingdom which the Company believes will be completed during the second
quarter, 1997. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Major Customers."
 
COMPETITION
 
    The Company faces competition from manufacturers of the existing technology
products currently used by the electric power protection and control market.
Companies such as General Electric, Siemens A.G., GEC Alsthom, Inc., and ABB
Industrie A.G., are established companies which control a substantial share of
the domestic and international market for motor control and relay products and
have greater name recognition and financial resources than the Company. Although
the Company believes it has no current competitor manufacturing high technology
products similar to the CMPR or NOVA, there is no
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
assurance that such competitors will not emerge and further they may have more
resources than the Company for development, manufacturing and marketing their
products.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 23 employees, comprised of 13
engineers, 6 marketing and sales personnel and 4 administrative personnel, all
of which are full-time employees. The employees are not represented by a union
and no work stoppages have occurred since the Company's inception.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    To the Company's knowledge, the Company's products are not subject to
governmental regulation in the United States. To the Company's knowledge, there
are no specific foreign governmental regulations covering its products in the
countries in which it presently contemplates selling its products. However, in
such foreign jurisdictions, the products are regulated by generally applicable
import and currency control regulations.
 
INSURANCE
 
    The Company maintains $1 million in product liability insurance coverage in
addition to $1 million general liability insurance coverage. The Company does
not have errors and omissions insurance at this time.
 
PROPERTY
 
    The Company's facilities are located at 6542 North U.S. Highway 41, Apollo
Beach, Florida 33572 where it leases its office and plant space comprising
approximately 7,230 square feet. The lease expires as to 5,630 square feet on
March 31, 1999 and expires as to approximately 1,600 square feet on October 31,
1998. The lease provides for a monthly rental of $6,873.26. However, in April
1996, the landlord gave the Company a $20,000 credit toward the rent in exchange
for 21,366 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which credit is being off-set
against the rent at $555.56 per month. The landlord is not affiliated with the
Company or any of its directors or officers. The Company believes that the
facilities are adequate for its purposes for the foreseeable future.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    There are no legal proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its
property is subject, and to the knowledge of the Company, there are no such
proceedings threatened. There can be no assurance that any future legal
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
    Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive compensation for
serving as directors. The Company anticipates compensating its independent
directors for their services in the form of fees and/ or stock options, yet to
be determined. All directors will be reimbursed for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the
Board of Directors and for other expenses incurred in their capacity as
directors of the Company.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
    The Company entered into a five year employment agreement with David W.
Clarke as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commencing June
1, 1996. The term of the agreement may be automatically extended for successive
one (1) year terms, unless notice of termination is given ninety (90) days prior
to the expiration of the term or any extension period thereafter. The agreement
provides for an initial annual base salary of $150,000, subject to increases, in
addition to annual cost of living increases, based on the Company's annual gross
sales, as follows: For each $1,000,000 in annual gross sales, as calculated in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in excess of
$10,000,000 but less than $30,000,001, Mr. Clarke shall receive an additional
$5,000 in annual base salary, commencing in the next fiscal year; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that during the applicable fiscal year, the Company's earnings before
interest and taxes are at least 10% of the annual gross sales. The agreement
also provides that an independent committee of Board members may award Mr.
Clarke discretionary bonuses.
 
    Mr. Clarke's employment agreement provides for certain severance payments to
be made to him or his estate as follows: (i) in the event of death, any accrued
and unpaid salary, vacation and bonus, and one year's annual base salary then in
effect, payable in 12 equal monthly installments; (ii) in the event of permanent
disability, three years of annual base salary then in effect, and any unpaid
bonus, payable in 36 equal monthly installments (inclusive of any disability
payments paid to him from any Company-sponsored disability plan or disability
insurance), plus continued coverage, at the Company's expense, under the
Company's major medical, dental and disability plans, or the monetary
equivalent, for a period of 36 months; (iii) in the event of termination without
cause, the full compensation to which he would otherwise be entitled under the
employment agreement, payable in one lump sum upon termination, plus continued
coverage under the Company's major medical, dental and disability plans, or the
monetary equivalent, for a period of 24 months; and, (iv) in the event of
non-renewal of the employment agreement by the Company, one year's annual base
salary then in effect, payable in 12 equal monthly installments. In the event
that the Company terminates Mr. Clarke within nine months of a change in control
of the Company, Mr. Clarke will be entitled to receive in one lump sum payment,
three times his annual base salary for the remainder of the term of his
employment agreement, provided that such payment shall be based upon a minimum
period of three years.
 
    Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Clarke is subject to a
covenant not to compete with the business of the Company anywhere in the world
during the term of his employment with the Company and for a term of five years
following the expiration or termination of his employment agreement.
 
    The Company also entered into employment agreements with Christine Clewes
(Vice President of Marketing), Steven D. Smith (Vice President of Operations),
Robert K.. Swatland (Vice President of Sales) and Donald P. Louw (Vice President
of International Sales). These employment agreements are substantially similar
and were entered into on July 1, 1996 as to Ms. Clewes and Mr. Smith, and March
22, 1996 and November 1, 1996 as to Messrs. Louw and Swatland, respectively. Mr.
Swatland's agreement is for a term of two years. The other agreements have an
initial period of four (4) years and all the agreements and are automatically
renewable for successive two (2) year terms, unless notice of termination is
given prior to the renewal period. The agreements provide for the following
annual base salaries, subject to increases for annual cost of living
adjustments: Ms. Clewes ($100,000); Mr. Smith ($120,000); Mr. Swatland
($80,000); and Mr. Louw ($80,000). Except for Ms. Clewes' employment agreement,
the
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
agreements provide that the executives will be entitled to stock options under
the Company's stock option plan, as determined by the Board of Directors. The
number and exercise prices of the options shall be determined in accordance with
such plan. See "--Employee Stock Option Plan."
 
    Ms. Clewes is entitled to receive additional compensation pursuant to the
terms of her employment agreement in the amount of one and one-half percent of
the net sales of the Company's products within the United States. For purposes
of the agreement, net sales is defined as the gross sales price of the Company's
products, less (a) any commissions paid to the third parties by the Company with
respect to such products, (b) sales tax, if any, and shipping and handling
charges.
 
    Mr. Louw is entitled to receive, under his employment agreement, additional
compensation equal to three percent of the net sales of the Company's products
outside of North America.
 
    The agreements provide for severance payments in the event that the Company
terminates the executives without cause, or for permanent disability or death in
an amount equal to six (6) months of the executive's annual base salary. They
also be entitled to any major medical, dental and disability plans available to
employees generally for the six month period, or the monetary equivalent in the
event of termination without cause or permanent disability. The employment
agreements contain covenants not to compete with the business of the Company
during the term of employment and for a period of two years following the
expiration or termination of the employment agreements.
 
    Although all of the employment agreements discussed above contain
non-compete restrictions during and after termination of employment (five years
in the case of Mr. Clarke, and two years in the case of other executive
officers), a state court reviewing the enforceability of any such covenant not
to compete may decline to enforce, or may enforce in part, such a covenant based
on various factors. There is no assurance that if a former employee challenges
the covenant not to compete, that a court would declare any portion or all of
the covenant enforceable.
 
    The Company may enter into other employment agreements with current and
future employees on terms as deemed appropriate by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Company anticipates hiring a Chief Financial Officer after the
closing of the Offering.
 
CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
 
    The Company entered into consulting arrangements with four separate
consultants for business advice on non-operational aspects of the Company's
business. Under one such agreement, the Company issued 299,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock and 400,000 Common Stock purchase warrants to Perryman
Corp. N.V. ("Perryman") for consulting services rendered through May 10, 1996,
the agreement's termination date. Perryman is an international business
consulting firm which assisted the Company in connection with assessing the
market potential of various foreign countries and in identifying and contacting
potential customers in certain of those countries. Pursuant to a repurchase
option provision in the consulting agreement, the Company recently repurchased
and retired the 299,000 shares in exchange for the reduction of exercise price,
for nominal consideration and the reduction of the exercise price of the 400,000
warrants from $5.50 per share to $3.00 per share. Further, the warrants, which
originally contained registration rights and were to be automatically modified
to conform to the same terms and conditions as the Public Warrant, were amended
to delete any such registration rights and modification provisions. See
"Description of Securities--Warrants."
 
    The Company is also party to a five year consulting agreement with Imagine
Holdings for business advice services, commencing June 1, 1996. The consultant's
services include strategic planning and advice in respect of foreign market
negotiations. In respect of such services, the Company agreed to pay the
consultant 250,000 Common Stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $4.00 per
share commencing June 1, 2000 (unless the Company agrees to an earlier exercise)
until June 1, 2002 and reimbursement of the consultant's reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the agreement. The consulting agreement provides for
certain piggy-back registration rights for the shares underlying the warrants.
The consultant
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
has given David W. Clarke, President of the Company, a voting proxy for the
shares issued in respect of the exercise of the warrants, until the earlier of:
(i) June 1, 2002, and (ii) the date that the shares issuable upon exercise of
the warrants are included in a registration statement for a secondary public
offering of the Company's Common Stock. Any unexercised warrants may be
terminated by the Company upon the occurrence of certain events including a
breach of the agreement by the consultant. The agreement requires the consultant
to not disclose the Company's confidential information and also contains a
restriction on competition with the Company during the term of the agreement and
for three years after termination of the agreement. In consideration of making a
short term loan in the amount of $50,000 to the Company, which loan has been
repaid, the consultant was also issued a warrant for 50,000 shares of Common
Stock on the same terms and conditions as the other warrant, except it is
exercisable at $5.50 per share. See "Description of Securities--Warrants," and
"--Registration Rights."
 
    In addition, in November 1996, the Company entered into a five year
consulting agreement with Mathias E. Lukens, Jr., a director (and Vice Chairman)
of the Company, for consulting services in connection with administrative,
business development and product development matters. Specific services include
engineering and re-engineering of software and advice on market identification
and expansion. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lukens was issued 250,000 common
stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing June 1, 2000
(unless the Company agrees to an earlier exercise) until June 1, 2002. The
warrant contains "piggy-back" registration provisions for the shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants. Mr. Lukens gave David W. Clarke, President of the
Company, a voting proxy for the shares issued in respect of the exercise of the
warrants, until the earlier of (i) June 1, 2002, and (ii) the date that the
shares are included in a registration statement for a secondary offering of the
Company's Common Stock. Mr. Lukens is also reimbursed for expenses reasonably
incurred in performance of his duties under the agreement. The consulting
agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including breach of the
agreement and upon such termination, the consultant would be entitled to
exercise only a PRO RATA portion of the unexercised warrants based on the number
of months service provided under the consulting agreement. The agreement
requires the consultant to not disclose the Company's confidential information
and also contains a restriction on competition with the Company during the term
of the agreement and for three years after termination of the agreement.
 
    In December 1996, the Company formalized a consulting relationship with
Frank J. Mancini, a principal shareholder and director of the Company, pursuant
to which Mr. Mancini provides the Company with business and day-to-day
operations advice. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Mancini will be paid $4,000
per month commencing the first day of the calendar month following the closing
of the Company's initial public offering, and to and including September 1,
1997. The agreement expires September 30, 1997. The agreement also contains
non-disclosure and non-compete restrictions applicable during and after
termination of the consulting relationship. The Company plans to pay Mr. Mancini
$23,000 from Offering proceeds for consulting advice in connection with various
operational matters, which fees are independent from the fees to be paid under
the consulting agreement.
 
    Although the consulting agreements discussed above contain non-compete
restrictions during and after termination of the consulting relationship, a
state court reviewing the enforceability of any such covenant not to compete may
decline to enforce, or may enforce in part, such a covenant based on various
factors. There is no assurance that if a former consultant challenges the
covenant not to compete, that a court would declare any portion or all of the
covenant enforceable, except as would otherwise be enforceable based on
fiduciary obligations imposed on officers and directors.
 
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
    In June 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and its shareholders
approved the Company's 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which
500,000 shares of Common Stock are currently reserved for issuance to employees
upon exercise of stock options. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain
key personnel, to encourage stock ownership by officers, directors and key
management
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
of the Company, and to provide an incentive for such persons to expand and
improve the performance of the Company. The Plan provides for the grant of both
incentive stock options ("ISOs") intended to qualify as such under Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and nonqualified stock options to key
employees (including directors and officers who are employees), as determined in
the discretion of a committee designated by the Board.
 
    The Plan is administered by a committee, comprised of David W. Clarke,
Christine Clewes, Mathias E. Lukens and Frank Mancini. The selection of
participants, allotment of shares, and whether a grant will consist of incentive
stock options or nonqualified stock options or a combination thereof is
discretionary with the committee. ISO's granted under the Plan may not be
granted at a price less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant (or 100)% of fair market value in the case of persons holding 10%
or more of the voting stock of the Company). The aggregate fair market value of
shares for which ISO's granted to any employee are exercisable for the first
time by such employee during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of
the Company) may not exceed $100,000. The exercise price of non-qualified stock
options shall be determined by the option committee, in its discretion. Options
granted under the Plan will expire not more than ten years from the date of
grant (five years in the case of ISO's granted to persons holding 10% or more of
the voting stock of the Company). All options granted under the Plan are not
transferable during an optionee's lifetime but may be transferred by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution.
 
    The Plan contains anti-dilution provisions authorizing appropriate
adjustments in certain circumstances. Shares of Common Stock subject to options
which expire without being exercised or which are canceled as a result of
cessation of employment are available for further grants.
 
    As of March 1, 1997, there were 351,500 ISO's granted under the Plan, all
exercisable at $4.00 per share. The options, which have five or ten year terms
and were granted between July 1996 and February 1997, are first exercisable one
year from their respective dates of grant as to one-half of the option shares,
and quarterly thereafter as to each remaining 25%. However, the optionees have
agreed not to sell the shares issuable upon exercise of their options for a
period of 24 months after the date of this Prospectus, unless released earlier
by the Underwriters.
 
    The Company plans to grant independent directors of the Company
non-qualified stock options outside of the Plan, although at a later date the
Company may implement a stock option plan specifically for non-employee
directors.
 
INDEMNIFICATION, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
    The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the
Company shall indemnify all directors and officers of the Company to the full
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under such provisions,
any director or officer, who in his capacity as such, is made or threatened to
be made, a party to any suit or proceeding, may be indemnified if the Board of
Directors determines such director or officer acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the Company. The Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the
Delaware General Corporation Law further provide that such indemnification is
not exclusive of any other rights to which such individual may be entitled under
the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
 
    The Company's Board of Directors and executive officers entered into
indemnification agreements with the Company. The agreements follow the
indemnification and expense advancement provisions of Delaware's General
Corporation Law. In addition, the indemnitee under the agreements is entitled to
indemnification against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
on his behalf in connection with serving as a witness in any proceeding (as
defined in the agreement) by virtue of his or her status with the Company. The
agreements also provide a procedural mechanism under which the indemnitee can
claim and obtain indemnification, including a procedure for the Board or
independent counsel to determine entitlement to indemnification under specific
situations. In the event the indemnitee does not
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
receive the indemnification to which he would otherwise be entitled under the
terms of the agreement, the indemnitee is entitled to seek a judicial
determination. In the event the indemnitee seeks a judicial adjudication to
enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, the
agreement, the indemnitee is entitled to recover from the Company his or her
reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with the legal
proceeding, subject to proration in the event the amount of the aware is less
than the amount of indemnification sought.
 
    The Company and the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other
(including officers and directors) against certain liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. See "Underwriting."
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted for directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
    In December 1994, a total of 694,382 shares of Common Stock were issued to
David W. Clarke, Christine Clewes, Mathias E. Lukens, Jr. and W. Haines Knox,
the Company's founders, for a total consideration of $110. Mr. David W. Clarke
and Ms. Christine Clewes, officers and directors of the Company, own 640,968 of
such shares.
 
    The Company is indebted to its President and Chief Executive Officer and its
Vice President, Marketing in the total amount of approximately $85,000
represented by a promissory note dated December 15, 1995. The note bears
interest at 10.5% per annum and provides for payments of principal and interest
equal to $1,600 per month from January 15, 1996 through June 15, 1998, at which
time the entire remaining unpaid principal balance becomes due and payable along
with any accrued and unpaid interest.
 
    In early 1996, Mr. Clarke and Ms. Clewes advanced the Company an additional
$60,840, which obligation was converted into approximately 64,994 shares of
Common Stock in June, 1996.
 
    Mr. Clarke and Ms. Clewes have loaned the Company an additional $40,800
which is payable on demand, without interest.
 
    Pursuant to a consulting agreement with Mathias E. Lukens, Jr., a director
(Vice Chairman) of the Company, he was issued 250,000 Common Stock purchase
warrants exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing June 1, 2000 (unless the
Company agrees to an earlier exercise) and expiring June 1, 2002. See
"Management--Consulting Agreements." In December 1996, the Company and Mr.
Lukens also entered into a non-exclusive license agreement, pursuant to which
Mr. Lukens licensed to the Company certain software and its source code for the
Company's use in its products. Under the agreement, Mr. Lukens is to be paid a
one-time license fee of $250,000, payable: (a) $125,000 in the following cash
installments: $62,500 on the earlier of September 1, 1998 or the last day of the
first fiscal quarter that the Company's gross revenue exceeds $500,000, subject
to cash flow, and $62,500, or more, of the then outstanding balance on the last
day of each subsequent fiscal quarter that the Company's gross revenues exceed
$500,000, subject to cash flow, until paid. The balance of the $125,000 license
fee is to be paid in 41,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock (valued at
$3.00 per share in December 1996), one-half of which shall be paid on the date
the licensed software is successfully run on any of the Company's products, and
one-half of which shall be paid when the first successful beta testing is
concluded prior to the first full commercial shipment incorporating the
software.
 
    During 1995 and 1996, Frank J. Mancini, a director, and an affiliate, loaned
the Company an aggregate of $178,087.25. In June, 1996, pursuant to an agreement
between him and the Company, he converted the entire principal balance, plus
accrued interest of $12,617.39 into a total of 203,726 shares of the Company's
Common Stock. Mr. Mancini will be paid approximately $23,000 from the proceeds
of this Offering for consulting services previously rendered to the Company.
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
    The Company entered into a cash advance and security agreement with Framan
Company, a business entity owned by Frank J. Mancini, pursuant to which Framan
advances funds to the Company for the purchase of parts inventory and equipment
and takes a security interest in the parts and equipment. The advances accrue
interest at 2% above the prime rate and are payable monthly interest only
commencing after the close of the Offering. Principal is due and payable
one-half on the earlier of June 1, 1999, or the last day of the first fiscal
quarter that the Company's gross revenues exceed $500,000, subject to cash flow;
and one-half, or more, of the remaining principal balance on the last day of
each subsequent fiscal quarter that revenues exceed $500,000, subject to cash
flow. The maturity date for any outstanding principal balance and accrued and
unpaid interest is December 31, 1999. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had been
advanced $449,151 under this agreement.
 
    In October 1996, The Company entered into a factoring agreement with
Queensbury, Inc., some of whose shareholders are also shareholders of the
Company (none of whom is an officer, director or principal shareholder of the
Company) in order to obtain additional working capital. Under the agreement, the
Company sold receivables at a 6% discount, plus pays interest at the rate of 1%
per month on the outstanding balance. The Company is obligated to repurchase
accounts which are delinquent for six consecutive months. This agreement was
terminated effective December 31, 1996, at which time accounts receivable sold
under the agreement were $160,350. At March 31, 1997, $156,010 of such amount
remained uncollected.
 
    As of January 1, 1997, the Company converted the above-referenced factoring
agreement to a revolving line of credit agreement with the same lender. Under
that agreement, the Company may borrow 94.5% of the face amount of accounts
receivable which are collateral for the loans. Interest accrues at 1% per month
and is payable monthly on the outstanding principal balance of each such loan.
The loans are repaid at 100% of the face amount of the collateralized accounts
as the Company receives payments from customers. Outstanding principal and
interest on all such loans is due and payable on December 31, 1998. The maximum
outstanding principal balance under the loan agreement at any time is limited to
$500,000 and at March 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance under this
loan agreement was $257,241.
 
    From August 5, 1996 through November 14, 1996, the Company issued an
aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock and 250,000 Common Stock purchase
warrants for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 pursuant to a private placement to
accredited investors that commenced June 25, 1996. Upon the Effective Date, the
warrants will be automatically modified to the same terms as the Public
Warrants. The private placement was conducted by the Representative, as
placement agent, which was paid a commission of 10% and a non-accountable
expense allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds.
 
    Gregory C. Hamilton, a director, receives compensation from the Company for
providing accounting services to the Company. During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, Mr. Hamilton was paid $34,015 for accounting and tax
reporting services.
 
    The Company believes that all transactions with officers, directors and/or
5% shareholders were made on terms no less favorable to the Company than those
available from unaffiliated parties. All future transactions between the Company
and its officers, directors and 5% shareholders will be on terms no less
favorable than could be obtained by independent third parties and will be
approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    The Company is currently authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.01 par value per share, 2,504,794 of which are issued and outstanding
to a total of 52 shareholders as of the date of this Prospectus. Holders of
Common Stock have one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be
voted upon by stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of
Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and, upon liquidation
of the Company, and to share ratably in the net assets available for
distribution. Shares of Common Stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive,
conversion or similar rights.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes
the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, $.01 par
value, with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the board of directors is
empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of the holders
of Common Stock. Shares of preferred stock, if and when issued, could have
voting or other rights that adversely affect the voting power of the holders of
Common Stock. Further, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company, which could limit
stockholders' ability to dispose of their Common Stock in such transactions. The
Company currently has not issued any shares of preferred stock.
 
WARRANTS
 
    REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS.  Each redeemable common stock
purchase warrant offered hereby (the "Public Warrants") entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $5.50 per share (the
"Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment, commencing two years after the date of
this Prospectus (the "Effective Date") until the close of business on the sixth
year after the Effective Date. Each Public Warrant is redeemable, in whole or in
part, by the Company at a price of $.25 per Public Warrant, commencing one year
after the Effective Date and prior to their expiration, provided that (a) prior
written notice of not less than thirty days is given to the Public Warrant
holders, (b) the closing bid price (as defined) of the Company's Common Stock
for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the fifteenth day prior to the
date on which the notice of redemption is given, shall have exceeded $7.50 per
share, (c) Public Warrant holders shall have exercise rights until the close of
business the day preceding the date fixed for redemption, and (d) if such
redemption occurs during the first two years following the Effective Date, the
Company has received the prior written consent of the Underwriters for such
redemption. Upon the giving of a notice of redemption, the Public Warrants will
become exercisable if they were not otherwise exercisable. In the Warrant
Agreement, the "closing bid price" is defined as (i) the last bid price regular
way as reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or (ii) if the Common Stock is
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last
bid price regular way for the Common stock as reported by the NASDAQ National
Market System or SmallCap Market of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ"), or
(iii) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on any national
securities exchange, and is not reported by NASDAQ, the last bid price in the
over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or
if no such quotation is available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to
applicable federal and state securities laws, in the event a current prospectus
is not available, the Public Warrants may not be exercised by the holders
thereof and the Company will be precluded from redeeming the Public Warrants.
There can be no assurance that the Company will not be prevented by financial or
other considerations from maintaining a current prospectus. Any Public Warrant
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
holder who does not exercise prior to the redemption date, as set forth in the
Company's notice of redemption, will forfeit the right to purchase the Common
Stock underlying the Public Warrants, and after the redemption date or upon
conclusion of the exercise period any outstanding Public Warrants will become
void and be of no further force or effect, unless extended by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
 
    The number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased is subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events including a dividend
distribution to the Company's shareholders, or a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock. Further, the Public Warrant
exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues
additional stock or rights to acquire stock at a price per share that is less
than the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date
established for the issuance of additional stock or rights to acquire stock. The
term "current market price" is defined as the average of the daily closing
prices for the five consecutive trading days ending three days prior to the
record date. However, the Warrant exercise price will not be adjusted in the
case of the issuance or exercise of options pursuant to the Company's stock
option plans, the issuance of the Underwriters' Warrant or any other options or
warrants outstanding as of the date of this Offering. The Public Warrant
exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event of a consolidation or
merger where a distribution by the Company is made to its stockholders of the
Company's assets or evidences of indebtedness (other than cash or stock
dividends) or pursuant to certain subscription rights or other rights to acquire
Common Stock. The Warrants are also subject to price adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events including subdivisions or combinations of the
Common Stock.
 
    The Company may at any time, and from time to time, extend the exercise
period of the Public Warrants, provided that written notice of such extension is
given to the Public Warrant holders prior to the expiration date then in effect.
Also, the Company may reduce the exercise price of the Public Warrants for
limited periods or through the end of the exercise period if deemed appropriate
by the Board of Directors of the Company, in addition to the adjustments to the
exercise price arising from certain events as discussed above. Any extension of
the terms and/or reduction of the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be
subject to compliance with Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act including the
filing of a Schedule 13E-4. Notice of any extension of the exercise period
and/or reduction of the exercise price will be given to the Public Warrant
holders. The Company does not presently contemplate any extension of the
exercise period not does it contemplate any reduction in the exercise price of
the Public Warrants.
 
    The Public Warrants are to be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of
a Public Warrant Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company.
 
    In addition, the Company has outstanding warrants exercisable for a total of
250,000 shares of Common Stock, which warrants have the same terms and
conditions as the Public Warrants, but which are not registered under the
Securities Act.
 
    NONREDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS.  The Company issued to a
consultant a non-redeemable warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock.
It has a six year term commencing June 1, 1996. The warrants may be exercised
for two years commencing June 1, 2000 at an exercise price of $4.00 per share,
unless the Company agrees to an earlier exercise. The warrant is subject to
termination by the Company under certain circumstances. The warrant contains
certain anti-dilution provisions with respect to stock dividends or
distributions to shareholders; and combinations, subdivisions and
reclassification of shares. The warrant contains certain piggy-back registration
rights (for shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants) with respect to a
secondary public offering of the Company's securities. In consideration of
making a short term loan to the Company, the consultant was also issued a
warrant for 50,000 shares of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as
its other warrant, except it is exercisable at $5.50 per share. See
"Management--Consulting Agreements," and "Description of
Securities--Registration Rights."
 
                                       40
<PAGE>
    The Company also issued to a consultant 400,000 common stock purchase
warrants, exercisable at $5.50 per share, which warrants, upon the Effective
Date of this Offering, were to be modified to the same terms and conditions as
the Public Warrants. However, recently those warrants were amended to remove
such modification (as well as registration) provisions. Further, the exercise
price was reduced from $5.50 per share to $3.00 per share. The warrants are
first exercisable one year from the Effective Date and terminate on May 10,
2001. See also "Management--Consulting Agreements."
 
    Mathias E. Lukens, Jr., a director of the Company as well as a consultant,
was issued, pursuant to a consulting agreement, a non-redeemable warrant to
purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $5.50 per share from June
1, 2000 until June 1, 2002 until unless the Company agrees to an earlier
exercise. Unexercised warrants are subject to termination by the Company under
certain circumstances. The warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions
respecting stock dividends or distributions to shareholders; and combinations,
subdivisions and reclassification of shares. The warrants also contain "piggy-
back" registration rights (for shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants)
with respect to a secondary public offering of the Company's securities. See
"Management--Consulting Agreements," "Descriptions of Securities--Registration
Rights," and "Certain Transactions."
 
    The Company issued to three of its officers, Steven D. Smith, Donald Louw
and Robert J. Swatland, non-redeemable common stock purchase warrants, each
exercisable for 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per
share. Mr. Smith's and Mr. Louw's warrants are first exercisable one year from
the date of this Prospectus until September 26, 2001 and Mr. Swatland's warrant
is exercisable one year from the date of this Prospectus until November 1, 2001.
However, Messrs. Smith, Louw and Swatland have agreed with the Company that the
shares underlying the warrants will not be sold for a period of 24 months from
the date of this Prospectus, unless released earlier by the Underwriters. The
warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions with respect to stock
dividends or distributions to shareholders, and combinations, subdivisions and
reclassification of shares. The warrants do not provide registration rights.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
    The Underwriters have demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect
to the 80,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the Underwriters' Warrant, the
80,000 Public Warrants issuable upon exercise thereof and the 75,000 shares of
Common Stock underlying the warrants. The Underwriters' demand and piggy-back
registration rights will expire no later than five years and seven years,
respectively, from the Effective Date. In addition, certain securityholders
holding 1,133,989 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock have piggy-back registration
rights for such shares and Common Stock underlying the warrants with respect to
a secondary offering of the Company's securities. However, the holders of such
shares and warrants are subject to lock-up agreements for periods of 13 to 24
months from the date of this Prospectus and such shares may not be sold or
otherwise disposed of until expiration of the applicable lock-up period, which
may be shortened at the discretion of the Underwriters. Additionally,
consultants holding warrants to purchase a total of 550,000 shares of Common
Stock have "piggy-back" registration rights commencing June 1, 1998 in
connection with a secondary offering of the Company's securities. Any exercise
of such registration rights may result in dilution of the interest of the
Company's stockholders, hinder efforts by the Company to arrange future
financings and/or have an adverse effect on the market prices of the Securities.
In the event such registration rights are exercised, the Company will be
obligated to pay all expenses in connection with such registration, including
but not limited to legal and accounting fees, printing and certain other costs;
however, any selling securityholder will be responsible for payment of any
transfer taxes and broker/dealer commissions.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW; CERTAIN PROVISIONS IN THE CERTIFICATE
  OF INCORPORATION
 
    Unless otherwise provided in a corporation's certificate of incorporation,
Delaware law generally requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of
the outstanding voting stock for approval of mergers, consolidations, and
certain other transactions. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation expressly
adopts the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL"). In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a "business
combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after
the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested
stockholder, unless (i) prior to the date at which the stockholder became an
interested stockholder, the board of directors approved either the business
combination or the transaction in which the person becomes an interested
stockholder; (ii) the stockholder acquires more than 85% of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by directors who are
officers or held in certain employee stock plans) upon consummation of the
transaction in which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder; or (iii)
the business combination is approved by the board of directors and at least
66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares
held by the interested stockholder) at a meeting of stockholders, (and not
written consent) held on or subsequent to the date such stockholder became an
interested stockholder. However, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the affirmative vote of 60% of the outstanding voting stock
(excluding shares held by the interested stockholder) rather than the 66 2/3%
provided in the statute. An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together
with affiliates and associates, owns (or at any time within the prior three
years did own) 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. Section 203
defines a "business combination" to include, without limitation, mergers,
consolidations, stock sales and asset based transactions and other transactions
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.
 
    The overall effect of such anti-takeover provisions is to render more
difficult the accomplishment of mergers or the assumption of control by a
principal shareholder, and thus to make difficult the removal of management.
However, the Company believes that the advantages to the Company and its
shareholders of anti-takeover provisions would outweigh any disadvantages and
afford the Board of Directors greater flexibility in the management of the
Company.
 
    The Certificate imposes a super-majority voting requirement (75% of the
outstanding voting shares) for certain amendments to the Company's Bylaws. The
Certificate also provides for indemnification of the Company's directors,
officers and, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, any and all other
persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under Delaware law from and
against certain liabilities. For a summary of such provisions, see
"Management--Indemnification, Directors and Officers." The Certificate does not
provide shareholders with any preemptive rights or cumulative voting rights.
 
TRANSFER AND WARRANT AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    The transfer agent and registrar for the Securities and the warrant agent
for the Public Warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall
Street, New York, New York.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Upon consummation of this Offering, the Company will have 3,304,794 shares
of Common Stock outstanding (3,424,794 shares, if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full), of which 800,000 shares offered
hereby (920,000 shares, if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full) will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act. The remaining 2,504,794 shares are deemed to be
"restricted securities," as that term is defined under Rule 144, in that such
shares were issued and sold by the Company in private transactions not involving
a public offering and, as such, may only be sold pursuant to an effective
registration under the Securities Act,
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
in compliance with the exemption provisions of Rule 144 or pursuant to another
exemption under the Securities Act. Certain shareholders (excluding officers and
directors) holding 1,433,529 shares of restricted Common Stock, will be eligible
to sell such shares under Rule 144 as of the date of this Prospectus as to
902,996 shares; July 1997 as to 25,333 shares; and, August through December 1997
as to 528,500 shares. However, shareholders holding 1,133,989 of such shares
have agreed not to sell those shares for periods ranging from 13 months to 24
months from the Effective Date, without the prior consent of the Representative.
Of the remaining 1,071,265 restricted securities, all shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144 as the date of this Prospectus (subject to certain recurring
three-month volume limitations prescribed by Rule 144 and the lock-up
arrangements with the Underwriters described below). Sales of such shares in the
public market, or the availability of such shares for sale, could adversely
affect the market price for the Common Stock.
 
    The officers and directors of the Company (holding an aggregate of 1,071,265
shares of Common Stock, and warrants, options and rights to purchase an
aggregate of 641,666 shares of Common Stock), have agreed not to publicly offer,
sell or otherwise dispose of any of those shares of Common Stock for 24 months
after the date of this Prospectus without the written consent of the
Underwriters, with the exception of 21,365 shares which are held by one of the
Company's directors as custodian for his children. The Underwriters may, in
their sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion
of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements.
 
    In general, under Rule 144, (as recently amended by the SEC effective April
29, 1997), subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person,
including an affiliate of the Company (or person whose shares are aggregated
with an affiliate), who has owned restricted shares of Common Stock beneficially
for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock (approximately 35,000 shares based on the number of
shares expected to be outstanding after this Offering) or, if the Common Stock
is quoted on NASDAQ, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar
weeks preceding the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain
requirements as to the manner and notice of sale and the availability of public
information concerning the Company. A person who has not been an affiliate of
the Company for at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has
beneficially owned shares of Common Stock for at least two years is entitled to
sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations
described above.
 
    No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that public sales of
shares of Common Stock or the availability of such securities for sale will have
on the market prices of such securities prevailing from time to time.
Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be
sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the
these securities and could impair the Company's ability in the future to raise
additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.

                                  UNDERWRITING
 
    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of
which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part, the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters,
severally and not jointly, and the Underwriters have severally and not jointly
agreed to purchase from the Company, on a "firm commitment" basis, if any are
purchased, the number of Securities (exclusive of Securities issuable upon
exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option) set forth opposite their
respective names below:

May Davis Group, Inc..............................................................
 
    Total.........................................................................
</TABLE>
 
    The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Securities offered hereby are
subject to approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain
other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all shares
of Securities offered hereby (other than those covered by the over-allotment
option described below) if any such shares are purchased.
 
    The Underwriters, for whom May Davis Group, Inc. is acting as Representative
(the "Representative"), propose to offer the Securities directly to the public
at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and
may allow certain dealers who are National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD") members to offer a part of the Securities at a price which
represents a concession not in excess of $         per share and $         per
Public Warrant. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a
concession not in excess of $         per share and $         per Public Warrant
to certain other dealers. Commencement of the initial public offering, the
offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representative.
 
    The Representative has informed the Company that the Underwriters do not
intend to confirm sales to accounts over which they exercise discretionary
authority.
 
    The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 120,000
additional shares of Common Stock and/or up to 120,000 additional Public
Warrants at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Representative
may exercise such option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if
any, in connection with the sale of the Securities offered hereby. To the extent
such option is exercised, each Underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of such additional
shares as the number of shares set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in the
preceding table bearing the total number of shares in such table.
 
    The Company has agreed to sell to the Representative or its designees, for
$10, a common stock purchase warrant (the "Underwriters' Warrant") exercisable
for 80,000 shares of Common Stock at $8.25 per share and/or 80,000 Public
Warrants at $.4125 per warrant. The Underwriters' Warrant may not be sold,
transferred, assigned or hypothecated, except to officers and directors of the
Underwriters, and is exercisable for four years commencing one year from the
Effective Date (or until the close of business five years after the Effective
Date) (the "Exercise Term"). During the Exercise Term, the holders of the
Underwriters' Warrant are given, at nominal cost, the opportunity to profit from
a rise in the market price of the Company's Common Stock. To the extent that the
Underwriters' Warrant is exercised, dilution of the interests of the Company's
stockholders will occur. Further, the terms on which the Company will be able to
obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected since the holders of
the Underwriters'
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
Warrants can be expected to exercise it any time when the Company would, in all
likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to the
Company than those provided in the Underwriters' Warrant. Any profit realized by
the Underwriters on the sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Underwriters' Warrant may be deemed additional underwriting compensation. The
Company has also agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense
allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Securities
offered hereby of which $25,000 has been paid.
 
    In connection with this Offering, certain Underwriters and selling group
members and their respective affiliates may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Common Stock and
Public Warrants. Such transactions may include stabilization transactions
effected in accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M, pursuant to which such
persons may bid for or purchase Common Stock or Public Warrants for the purpose
of stabilizing their respective market prices. The Underwriters also may create
a short position for the account of the Underwriters by selling more shares of
Common Stock or Public Warrants in connection with the Offering than they are
committed to purchase from the Company, and in such case may purchase shares of
Common Stock or Public Warrants in the open market following completion of the
Offering to cover all or a portion of such short position. The Underwriters may
also cover all or a portion of such short position by exercising the
Over-Allotment Option. In addition, the Representative, on behalf of the
Underwriters, may impose "penalty bids" under contractual arrangements with the
Underwriters whereby it may reclaim from an Underwriter (or dealer participating
in the Offering) for the account of other Underwriters, the selling concession
with respect to shares of Common Stock and Public Warrants that are distributed
in the Offering but subsequently purchased for the account of the Underwriters
in the open market. Any of the transactions described in this paragraph may
result in the maintenance of the price of the Common Stock and Public Warrants
at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. None of
the transactions described in this paragraph is required, and, if they are
undertaken they may be discontinued at any time.
 
    Certain shareholders who beneficially hold an aggregate of 2,183,889 shares
of Common Stock, have agreed that, for periods ranging from 13 to 24 months
following the date of this Prospectus, they will not, without the prior written
consent of the Representative offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise
dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock of the
Company. The Representative has advised the Company that it has no present
intention to waive or shorten the lock-ups.
 
    The Underwriting Agreement provides for reciprocal indemnification between
the Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities in connection with
the Registration Statement, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 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 has agreed with the Representative that the Company will pay to
the Underwriters a warrant solicitation fee (the "Warrant Solicitation Fee")
equal to 5% of the exercise price of the Public Warrants which are exercised
pursuant to a solicitation of exercise of the warrants or in connection with a
redemption and to the extent not inconsistent with the guidelines of the NASD
and the rules and regulations of the Commission (including NASD Notice to
Members 81-38). Such Warrant Solicitation Fee will be paid to the Underwriters
if (a) the market price of the Common Stock on the date that any Public Warrant
is exercised is greater than the exercise price of the Public Warrant; (b) the
exercise of such Public Warrant was solicited by the Underwriters; (c) prior
specific written approval for exercise is received from the customer if the
Public Warrant is held in a discretionary account; (d) disclosure of this
compensation agreement is made prior to or upon the exercise of such Public
Warrant; (e) solicitation of the exercise is not in violation of Regulation M of
the Exchange Act; (f) the Underwriters provided bona fide services in exchange
for the Public Warrant Solicitation Fee; and (g) the Underwriters have been
specifically designated in writing by the holders of the Public Warrants as the
broker. Unless granted an exemption by
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
the Commission from Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Underwriters will
be prohibited from engaging in any market making activities or solicited
brokerage activities with respect to the Securities for the period from five
business days prior to any solicitation by the Underwriters of the exercise of
any Public Warrant until the termination of such solicitation activity by the
Underwriters. The foregoing 5-day restriction period is reduced to one day where
the security has an average daily trading volume of $100,000 and the public
float for the issuer's equity securities is at least $25 million; and, there is
no restrictive period where the average daily trading volume of the security is
$1 million and the public float for the issuer's equity securities is at least
$150 million. As a result, the Underwriters may be unable to continue to provide
a market for the Securities during certain periods while the Public Warrants are
exercisable.
 
    The Underwriters have been given certain "piggyback" and demand registration
rights with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Underwriters' Warrants
for a period of four years commencing one year from the date of this Prospectus
(or until the close of business five years after the Effective Date). The
exercise of any of such registration rights by the Underwriters may result in
dilution to the interest of the Company's shareholders, hinder efforts by the
Company to arrange future financing of the Company and/ or have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Securities.
 
    The Company has agreed that for a period of 24 months commencing on the
Effective Date, it will not issue any shares of its Common Stock or any
warrants, options or other rights to purchase Common Stock and Public Warrants,
without the consent of the Underwriters, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, except for issuances pursuant to (i) the public offering of the
Company's securities as described herein, (ii) the exercise of the Underwriters'
Warrant and the shares issuable thereunder, (iii) outstanding options, warrants,
convertible securities or contractual obligations disclosed in this Prospectus
and (iv) the grant of options and the issuance of shares issued upon exercise of
options granted or in the future granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan.
The Company has granted the Underwriters a three-year preferential right with
respect to future financing relating to the offering of the Company's
securities.
 
    The Underwriting Agreement gives the Underwriters the right, for a period of
three years from the Effective Date, to appoint a designee of the Underwriters
as an advisor to the Company's Board of Directors who shall be reimbursed
expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings and who shall
receive the same compensation as paid to non-employee directors. Alternatively,
the Underwriters may designate one person for election as a director of the
Company. The Representative has indicated to the Company that it intends to
appoint a director, although such person has not been identified.
 
    In addition, the Company has agreed to enter into a management and financial
consulting agreement to retain the Representative as a financial consultant for
a period of three years at a monthly fee of $2,333.33, payable in full, in
advance, at the closing of this Offering. Further, the Representative will be
entitled to receive certain payments in the event of a merger, sale of
substantially all of the Company's assets or similar transaction that is
originated by the Representative. The Representative will provide investment
banking services under the agreement. The consulting agreement will not require
the consultant to devote a specific amount of time to the performance of its
duties thereunder.
 
    Further, the Underwriting Agreement provides the Underwriters with a right
of first refusal for a period of three years from the date of this Prospectus
for any public or private offering of securities to raise capital and sale of
securities to be made by the Company, its affiliates or any of its present or
future subsidiaries.
 
    The foregoing includes a summary of certain provisions of the Underwriting
Agreement which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
 
    Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Securities.
The initial public offering price for the Securities and the exercise price of
the Warrants have been determined by negotiations between the Company and the
Underwriters. 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
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
business, the Company's financial condition, the Company's prospects, an
assessment of management, the general condition of the securities markets at the
time of this Offering and the demand for similar securities of comparable
companies. The public offering price of the Securities and the exercise price of
the Public Warrants do not necessarily bear any relationship to assets,
earnings, book value or other criteria of value applicable to the Company.
 
    The Representative was organized in August 1993, was registered as a broker
in June 1995, and became a member firm of the NASD in June 1995. The
Representative is principally engaged in retail brokerage and market making
activities and various corporate finance projects. The Representative has acted
as a placement agent in private offerings and has participated as a member of
the underwriting syndicate or as a selected dealer in one public offering and it
has acted two times as the lead manager in only two public offering of
securities. While certain of the officers of the Representative have significant
experience in corporate finance and the underwriting of securities, no assurance
can be given that the Representative's lack of experience as a lead managing
underwriter of public offerings will not adversely affect this Offering and the
subsequent development of a liquid public market in the Company's securities.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The validity of the Securities being offered hereby will be passed upon for
the Company by Greenberg Traurig Hoffman Lipoff Rosen & Quentel, P.A., Orlando,
Florida. Certain matters are being passed upon for the Underwriters by Gersten,
Savage, Kaplowitz, Fredericks & Curtin, LLP, New York, New York.

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Apollo International of Delaware, Inc.
Apollo Beach, Florida
 
    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Apollo International of
Delaware, Inc., as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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 audit.
 
    We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Apollo International of
Delaware, Inc., as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, although, as discussed in Note 13,
certain conditions indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a
going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Apollo International of Delaware, Inc. (Company) was incorporated in
November 1994 to develop, manufacture and distribute electric power protection
and control products, utilizing computer and fiber optics technologies, for
industry and electric utilities. The Company was in the development stage
through December 31, 1995.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    INVENTORY
 
    Inventory was stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in,
first-out method.
 
    FIXED ASSETS
 
    Equipment and furniture and computer software were stated at cost and are
being depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives
of five and three years, respectively.
 
    Leasehold improvements were stated at cost and are being amortized over the
life of the lease (Note 10) or lives of the asset, whichever is less.
 
    SOFTWARE COSTS
 
    Costs of software to be sold, which were incurred after technological
feasibility has been established and until it is available for general release,
have been capitalized and are being amortized on the straight-line method over
the estimated economic lives of the related products or three years, whichever
is less.
 
    DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
    Deferred income taxes have been provided on timing differences between
financial statement and income tax reporting resulting from computer software
costs and net operating loss carryforwards.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenue from product sales has been recognized upon shipment.
 
    DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS AND DISCOUNTS
 
    Deferred financing costs have been capitalized and are being amortized on
the straight-line method over the term of the related financing agreement.
 
    Discounts on the bridge financing and convertible debentures have been
amortized on the interest method over the term of the related notes payable.
 
                                      F-7
<PAGE>
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
    Stock based compensation of nonemployees and employees have been valued on
the fair value based method and the intrinsic value based method, respectively.
 
    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Research and development costs have been charged to operations as incurred.
 
    ADVERTISING COSTS
 
    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and
administrative expenses. For the years ending December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, advertising costs were $3,869,
$35,072, $2,695 (Unaudited) and $4,000 (Unaudited), respectively.
 
    LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
    Loss per common share was computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year. All
shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the
stock split on May 10, 1996. The 299,000 shares issued in June 1996 (Note 3) and
the 105,494 shares issued under anti-dilution provisions, as subsequently
adjusted by 13,354 shares (Note 3), have been treated as outstanding for all
periods or from date of original issuance, respectively, in calculating loss per
common share because such shares were issued at prices below the proposed public
offering price (Note 15).
 
    Fully-dilutive loss per common share has not been presented because it was
anti-dilutive.
 
3. CAPITALIZATION
 
    PREFERRED STOCK
 
    In June 1996, the Company authorized 5,000,000 shares of $.01, par value,

    Effective May 10, 1996, the Company increased its authorized common stock to
15,000,000 shares and authorized a 10.6828 for 1 stock split, without a change

vendor). The Company valued the shares at $3, per share, the value of the
private placement and, as such, recorded forgiveness of indebtedness income of
$75,028.
 
    PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 
    In November 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 500,000
shares of common stock and 250,000 warrants for an aggregate of $1,500,000. Each

statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    Article 11 of the Certificate of Incorporation of Apollo International of
Delaware, Inc. (the "Registrant") eliminates the personal liability of directors
to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director; provided, that such elimination of the personal
liability of a director of the Registrant does not apply to (i) any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) actions prohibited under Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (i.e., liabilities imposed upon directors who
vote for or assent to the unlawful payment of dividends, unlawful repurchases or
redemption of stock, unlawful distribution of assets of the Registrant to the
stockholders without the prior payment or discharge of the Registrant's debts or
obligations, or unlawful making or guaranteeing of loans to directors), or (iv)
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In
addition, Article 11 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, provides
that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time
to time.
 
    Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
    Section 145 further provides that a corporation may indemnify a person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the corporation, and except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an
officer or
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.
 
    The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.
 
    The Company's Board of Directors and its executive officers entered into
indemnification agreements with the Company. The terms of indemnification and
advancement of expenses follow the indemnification and expense advancement
provisions of Delaware's General Corporation Law. In addition, the indemnitee
under the agreements is entitled to indemnification against all expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with
serving as a witness in any proceeding (as defined in the agreement) by virtue
of his or her status with the Company. The agreements also provide a procedural
mechanism under which the indemnitee can claim and obtain indemnification,
including a procedure for the Board or independent counsel to determine
entitlement to indemnification under specific situations. In the event the
indemnitee does not receive the indemnification to which he would otherwise be
entitled under the terms of the agreement, the indemnitee is entitled to seek a
judicial determination. In the event the indemnitee seeks a judicial
adjudication to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for
breach of, the agreement, the indemnitee is entitled to recover from the Company
his or her reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with the legal
proceeding, subject to proration in the event the amount of the aware is less
than the amount of indemnification sought.

    Within the past three years, the Company has sold the following securities
without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") in reliance
on exemptions from registration afforded by the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>
    In December 1994, a total of 694,382 shares of Common Stock were issued to
David W. Clarke, Christine Clewes, W. Haines Knox and Mathias E. Lukens, Jr.,
the Company's founders, for a total consideration of $110.
 
    From December 21, 1994 to December 7, 1995, the Company issued 651,650
shares of common stock to eight accredited investors for total proceeds of
$580,000 pursuant to a private placement conducted by the Company to accredited
investors. The sales of these securities was made in reliance on Regulation D,
Rule 506 of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not
involving a public offering. With regard to the Company's reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities
Act, certain inquiries were made by the Company to establish that such sale
qualified for such exemption. In particular, the Company confirmed that with
respect to such exemption (i) the investor made representations that he was an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act
in relation to such investments, and (ii) the purchaser gave written assurance
of his investment intent, and the certificate for the securities bear a legend
accordingly.
 
    In October 1995 and June 1997, the Company issued to certain shareholders
(accredited investors who purchased securities in the Company's private
placement referenced above) a total of 105,494 and 17,360 shares of Common
Stock, respectively pursuant to anti-dilution provisions of certain prior
subscription agreements between those shareholders and the Company, the
certificates of which bear the same restrictive legend as the certificates they

    In January 1996, a total of 5,343 shares of Common Stock were issued to two
accredited investors for total proceeds of $5,000 pursuant to a private
placement conducted by the Company. The sales of these securities was made in
reliance on Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act, which provides
exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. With regard to the
Company's reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation
D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act, certain inquiries were made by the Company to
establish that such sales qualified for such exemption. In particular, the
Company confirmed that with respect to such exemption (i) each investor made
representations that he or she was an "accredited investor" within the meaning
of Regulation D of the Securities Act in relation to such investments, and (ii)
each purchaser gave written assurance of his or her investment intent, and the
certificates for the securities bear a legend accordingly.
 
    From March 6, 1996 to May 1, 1996, the Company issued convertible debentures
to six accredited investors (two of whom were then security holders of the
Company) pursuant to a private placement of $54,980 of such debentures. The
debentures were issued for an aggregate face value of $57,000. The debentures
were convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of $2.25 per share and
all of the holders converted their debentures into a total of 25,333 shares of
Common Stock in July 1996. The placement of the debentures was made in reliance
upon Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act, which provides exemptions for
transactions not involving a public offering. With regard to the Company's
reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D, Rule
506, certain inquiries were made by the Company to establish that such sales
qualified for such exemption. In particular, the Company confirmed that with
respect to such exemption (i) each investor made representations that he or she
was an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the
Securities Act in relation to such investments, and (ii) each purchaser gave
written assurance of his or her investment intent, and the certificate for the
debentures (and the common stock issued upon conversion of such debentures) bear
a legend accordingly.
 
    Effective April 1996, the Company issued 21,366 shares of Common stock to
two accredited investors (collectively, the Company's landlord) in consideration
of a rent reduction valued at $20,000 over the life of the Company's lease, in
reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The investors were provided
information about the Company or had access to such information, and the
investors were provided opportunities to review the information about the
Company and were permitted to ask questions of management concerning the
information provided or made available. The purchasers gave written assurance of
their investment intent, and the certificates for the securities bear a legend
accordingly. The
 
                                      II-3

such investment.
 
    In May 1996, the Company issued 299,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant
for 400,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $5.50 per share to one

provides exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. With
regard to the Company's reliance upon the exemption from registration provided

the Company to establish that such sale qualified for such exemption. In
particular, the Company confirmed that with respect to such exemption (i) the
investor made representations that he was an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act in relation to such investments,
and (ii) the purchaser gave written assurance of his investment intent, and the
certificate for the securities bears a legend accordingly. In June 1997, the
Company repurchased the 299,000 shares in exchange for modification of the
warrants. The warrants were modified, changing the exercise price from $5.50 per
share to $3.00 per share and deleting the registration provisions. The warrants
are exercisable commencing one year from the Effective Date until May 10, 2001.
 
    In May 1996, the Company issued a total of $250,000 in 12% redeemable
promissory notes and 200,000 shares of Common Stock to four accredited
investors. The notes and common stock were sold as units in that each investor
purchasing a note received the note plus a number of shares of common stock
equal to one half of the principal amount of the note (except for one investor
which received shares equaling in number twice the principal amount of the
note). The offering was conducted by the May Davis Group, Inc. as placement
agent, who received a commission of 10% of the gross proceeds. The sales of
these securities were made in reliance upon Regulation D, Rule 506 of the
Securities Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a
public offering. With regard to the Company's reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act, certain
inquiries were made by the Company to establish that such sales qualified for
such exemption. In particular, the Company confirmed that with respect to such
exemption (i) each investor made representations that he or she was an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act
in relation to such investments and (ii) each purchaser gave written assurance
of his or her investment intent, and the certificates for the securites bear a
legend accordingly.

a legend accordingly.
 
    In June 1996, an accredited investor (an officer, director and principal

64,994 shares of Common Stock. The sale of these securities was made in reliance
upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The purchaser gave written assurance of
his investment intent, and the certificates for the securities bear a legend
accordingly.
 
    In June 1996, the Company issued a total of 12,500 shares of Common Stock to
two accredited investors for consulting services in respect of the Company's

Company and was permitted to ask questions of management concerning the
information provided or made available. Each purchaser gave written assurance of

Act. Each investor was provided information about the Company or had access to

accredited investors an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock and 250,000
Common Stock purchase warrants for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 pursuant to a

of which was calculated on the gross proceeds. The sales of these securities
were made in reliance upon Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act, which

upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D, Rule 506 of the
Securities Act. With regard to the Company's reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities Act, certain
inquiries were made by the Company to establish that such sale qualified for
such exemption. In particular, the Company confirmed that with respect to such
exemption (i) the investor made representations that he was an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act in relation
to such investments and (ii) each purchaser gave written assurance of his
investment intent, and the certificates for the securities bear a legend
accordingly.
 
    In December 1996, the Company issued to one accredited investor (a director
of the Company) in respect of business consulting services warrant for 250,000
shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $5.50 per share commencing June 1, 1998
and terminating June 1, 2002, in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act. The purchaser gave written assurance of his investment intent, and the
certificates for the securities bear a legend accordingly.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    (a) The small business issuer will:
 
        (1) file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
    post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
           (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
       Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act");
 
           (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
       individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
       information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
       any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered, (if the total
       dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
       registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
       maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
       with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
       changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
       maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
       Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
 
           (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
       plan of distribution.
 
        (2) For determining liability under the Act, treat each post-effective
    amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the
    offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide
    offering.
 
                                      II-8
<PAGE>
        (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
    the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 
    (b) The small business issuer will provide to the underwriter at the closing
specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.
 
    (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business
issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
 
    (d) The small business issuer will:
 
        (1) For determining any liability under the Act, treat the information
    omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration
    statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus
    filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(l) or (4) or 497(h)
    under the Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the
    Commission declared it effective.
 
        (2) For determining any liability under the Act, treat each
    post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
    registration statement for the securities offered in the registration
    statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial
    BONA FIDE offering of those securities.

                                   Form of Amended

                   Warrant to Purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock

                        APOLLO INTERNATIONAL OF DELAWARE, INC.

                            Common Stock Purchase Warrant

                                  October 29,  1996

         NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNTIL A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS DECLARED
EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE
COMPANY THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT IS
AVAILABLE.

         THIS CERTIFIES THAT Perryman Corporation N.V. (hereinafter sometimes
called the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from Apollo International of
Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the price and during
the period hereinafter specified, up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock").

         This Warrant, together with warrants of like tenor, is subject to
adjustment in accordance with Paragraph 7 of this Warrant.

         1.   The rights represented by this Warrant shall be exercisable, at 
any time commencing one year from the effective date of the Company's 
registration statement for an initial public offering of its securities (the 
"Effective Date"), until May 10, 2001 (the "Exercise Period") at a purchase 
price of $5.50 per share (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment in 
accordance with Paragraph 7.  After May 10, 2001, the Holder shall have no 
right to purchase any shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant.

         2.  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any
time within the Exercise Period above specified, in whole or in part, by (i) the
surrender of this Warrant (with the purchase form at 

                                          1
<PAGE>

the end hereof properly executed) at the principal executive office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the
books of the Company);  and (ii) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price
then in effect for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the
above-mentioned purchase form together with applicable stock transfer taxes, if
any.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, in whole or in part
to the extent specified, immediately prior to the close of business on the date
this Warrant is surrendered and payment is made in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 2, and the person or person in whose name or names
the certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise
shall become the holder or holders of record of such shares of Common Stock at
that time and date.  The certificate or certificates for the shares of Common
Stock so purchased shall be delivered to such person or persons within a
reasonable time, not exceeding thirty (30) days, after this Warrant shall have
been exercised.

         3.  Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act") nor under any state securities law and shall not be
transferred, sold, assigned or hypothecated in violation thereof.  If permitted
by the foregoing, any such transfer, sale, assignment or hypothecation shall be
effected by the Holder surrendering this Warrant for cancellation at the office
or agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 2 hereof, accompanied by an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, stating that
such transferee is a permitted transferee under this Paragraph 3 and that such
transfer does not violate the 1933 Act or such state securities laws.

         4.  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock
which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and no personal liability will
attach to the Holder thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the Exercise Period, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of this Warrant.

         5.  The Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights, including,
without limitation, voting rights, as a stockholder of the Company.

         6.  The Exercise Price and Exercise Period in effect at any time and
the number and kind of securities purchaseable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
events as follows:

              a.  If the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the effective date or record date, as the case may be, for
such sale, dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the
denominator of which shall be the 


                                          2

<PAGE>

number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action,
and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such action.

              b.  Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 7a. above, the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be
adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof
and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

              c.  Notwithstanding any adjustment in the Exercise Price or the
number or kind of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, certificates for Warrants issued prior or subsequent to such adjustment
may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares of Common
Stock as are initially issuable pursuant to this Warrant.

              d.  In addition to the modification provisions of Section 1.b.
hereof, the Company may, but under no circumstances is obligated to, modify the
terms of this Warrant to provide for an earlier commencement of the Exercise
Period, or to extend the Exercise Period or to lower the Exercise Price, at any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant.

         7.  This Agreement shall be governed by and in accordance with the
laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflicts of laws
principles.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, APOLLO INTERNATIONAL OF DELAWARE, INC. has caused
this Warrant to be signed by its duly authorized officer as of the date set
forth on the first page hereof.

a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the price and during the period
hereinafter specified, up to 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01
par value (the "Common Stock").

         This Warrant, together with warrants of like tenor, is subject to
adjustment in accordance with Paragraph 7 of this Warrant.

         1.   The rights represented by this Warrant shall be exercisable, at 
any time commencing one year from the effective date of the Company's 
registration statement for an initial public offering of its securities (the 
"Effective Date"), until May 10, 2001 (the "Exercise Period") at a purchase 
price of $3.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment in 
accordance with Paragraph 7.  After May 10, 2001, the Holder shall have no 
right to purchase any shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant. 

         2.  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any
time within the Exercise Period above specified, in whole or in part, by (i) the
surrender of this Warrant (with the purchase form at 


                                          1

<PAGE>

the end hereof properly executed) at the principal executive office of the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the
books of the Company);  and (ii) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price
then in effect for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the
above-mentioned purchase form together with applicable stock transfer taxes, if
any.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised, in whole or in part
to the extent specified, immediately prior to the close of business on the date
this Warrant is surrendered and payment is made in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph 2, and the person or person in whose name or names
the certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise
shall become the holder or holders of record of such shares of Common Stock at
that time and date.  The certificate or certificates for the shares of Common
Stock so purchased shall be delivered to such person or persons within a
reasonable time, not exceeding thirty (30) days, after this Warrant shall have
been exercised.

         3.  Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act") nor under any state securities law and shall not be
transferred, sold, assigned or hypothecated in violation thereof.  If permitted
by the foregoing, any such transfer, sale, assignment or hypothecation shall be
effected by the Holder surrendering this Warrant for cancellation at the office
or agency of the Company referred to in Paragraph 2 hereof, accompanied by an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, stating that
such transferee is a permitted transferee under this Paragraph 3 and that such
transfer does not violate the 1933 Act or such state securities laws.

         4.  The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock
which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and no personal liability will
attach to the Holder thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the Exercise Period, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of this Warrant.

         5.  The Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights, including,
without limitation, voting rights, as a stockholder of the Company.

         6.  The Exercise Price and Exercise Period in effect at any time and
the number and kind of securities purchaseable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain
events as follows:

              a.  If the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the effective date or record date, as the case may be, for
such sale, dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the
denominator of which shall be the 


                                          2

<PAGE>

number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action,
and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such action.

              b.  Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 7a. above, the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be
adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof
and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

              c.  Notwithstanding any adjustment in the Exercise Price or the
number or kind of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, certificates for Warrants issued prior or subsequent to such adjustment
may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares of Common
Stock as are initially issuable pursuant to this Warrant.

              d.  In addition to the modification provisions of Section 1.b.
hereof, the Company may, but under no circumstances is obligated to, modify the
terms of this Warrant to provide for an earlier commencement of the Exercise
Period, or to extend the Exercise Period or to lower the Exercise Price, at any
time prior to the expiration of this Warrant.

         7.  This Agreement shall be governed by and in accordance with the
laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflicts of laws
principles.
