                            ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                            TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 29, 2000
                 (POSTPONED AND RESCHEDULED FROM NOVEMBER 14, 2000)

       We at Precis Smart Card Systems, Inc. are distributing this Supplement
to Proxy Statement to you and other holders of our common stock at the close
of business on October 6, 2000. This Supplement amends and supplements the
Proxy Statement, dated October 3, 2000, related to the Annual Meeting of the
holders of our common stock to be held on November 29, 2000. The Annual
Meeting has been rescheduled and changed to 2:00 p.m. on November 29th, 2000
to be held in our offices at Suite 147, 2500 South McGee Drive, Norman,
Oklahoma.

       One of the matters, identified as Proposal One in the Proxy Statement,
to be considered by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting is approval of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 21, 2000, as amended. This
agreement is amongst us, Precis-Foresight Acquisition, Inc. (our wholly-owned
subsidiary) and Foresight, Inc. and its shareholders Paul A. Kruger and Mark
R. Kidd, providing for the merger of Foresight into Precis-Foresight with
result that Foresight will become our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the
terms of this agreement, Paul A. Kruger, John Simonelli and Mark R. Kidd will
become  members of our board of directors, which will increase our board to
seven members. Until all of the shares of Precis common stock have been
delivered as required under the terms of the agreement (approximately until
April 30, 2004) in the event of the resignation or death of Messrs. Kruger,
Simonelli or Kidd, a person designated by Mr. Kruger (or his successors in
interest in the event he is deceased) will be named as a director to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation or death. It has come to our attention
that Paul A. Kruger and Lyle W. Miller are executive officers and directors
and Mr. Kidd is a director of Palweb Corporation, a publicly held development
stage company engaged in the  manufacturing and marketing of plastic pallets
and the design, manufacture and sale of large plastic injection molding
machines and systems plastic pallets. Palweb Corporation is the parent of
PaceCo Financial Services, Inc.

SALE OF CERTAIN ASSETS OF PACECO FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

       On April 3, 2000, PaceCo Financial Services became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PalWeb Corporation pursuant to merger. PaceCo Financial
Services is engaged in the business of making consumer and small business
loans and is regulated as an "investment certificate issuer" by the
Oklahoma Department of Securities. In connection with an examination of
PaceCo Financial Services in March 1999, the Oklahoma Department of
Securities determined that certain of PaceCo Financial Services' activities,
including the ownership of real estate and the ownership of equity
securities, were no longer going to be allowed and did not comply with the
provisions of the Oklahoma Securities Act relating to the permissible
activities of investment certificate issuers. As a result of such
determination, PaceCo Financial Services ceased making any new investments
not permissible to investment certificate issuers. Since that time PaceCo
Financial Services and the Oklahoma Department of Securities have been
negotiating an agreed order for the redemption or repayment of the investment
certificates (passbook savings accounts and time certificates) through the
sale of certain assets of PaceCo. PaceCo Financial Services' ability to fund
repayment of the $6,700,000 outstanding investment certificates is
substantially dependent on PaceCo Financial Services' ability to sell
40,250,000 shares of PalWeb Corporation common stock. PalWeb Corporation
estimates that these shares must be sold for at least $0.12 per share in
order to provide sufficient funds to redeem or

<PAGE>

repay the holders of the outstanding investment certificates in full. If this
cannot be achieved, PaceCo Financial Services will not have sufficient assets
to redeem the investment certificates resulting in losses to the holders. On
October 23, 2000, the PalWeb Corporation common stock had a closing best bid
price of $0.02 per share.

       Pursuant to Notice to Depositors dated October 10, 2000, PaceCo
Financial Services notified the holders  passbook savings accounts and time
certificates that, at current market values, the net assets of PaceCo
Financial Services are inadequate to redeem time certificates and to honor
passbook savings account withdrawals. This notice indicates that holders may
sustain approximate losses of 60% or more of their accounts which total
approximately $6,700,000.

       If Paceco Financial Services and PalWeb Corporation are unsuccessful
in negotiating an agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Securities, the
Administrator of the Department may take enforcement actions against PaceCo
Financial Services and its officers, directors and employees, including
Messrs. Kruger and Kidd. As of August 25, 2000, the Oklahoma Department of
Securities had not indicated to PaceCo Financial Services an intention to
pursue enforcement remedies; however, enforcement actions could occur in the
future.

       We want to point out that PalWeb Corporation and PaceCo Financial
Services do not have any financial or business relationships with us or
Foresight. However, Mark R. Kidd, who serves as our Chief Financial Officer
and Controller and Secretary, serves as a director of PalWeb Corporation and
President of PaceCo Financial Services. In addition, Lyle W. Miller, who
serves as one of our directors, serves as Vice President of Marketing and one
of the directors of PalWeb Corporation.

the merger agreement (approximately until April 30, 2004) in the event of the
