  Except as set forth herein, the shares of common stock, $.001 par value per
share ("Common Stock"), offered hereby are being sold by International
CompuTex, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("ICI" or the "Company"). Prior to this
offering (this "Offering"), there has been no public market for the Common
Stock of the Company and there can be no assurance that an active market will
develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. It is currently estimated
that the initial public offering price of the Common Stock will be between
$8.00 and $10.00 per share. The offering price of the Common Stock will be
determined by negotiation between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and
H.J.Meyers & Co., Inc., the representative ("Representative") of the several
underwriters ("Underwriters"), and is not necessarily related to the Company's
asset value or any other established criterion of value. See "Risk Factors" and
"Underwriting" for a discussion of the factors considered in determining the
initial public offering price. The Company has applied for listing of the
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "ICIQ."

                                   GLOSSARY
 
Certain terms or phrases used in this Prospectus have technical meanings, as
set forth below, in addition to other terms defined elsewhere in this
Prospectus:
 
  "CAD"--Computer Aided Design; CAD is the process whereby computers are
utilized to facilitate the design of manufactured goods. Typically run on high
speed workstations, CAD systems are often integrated with Computer Aided
Manufacturing (CAM) systems. This allows for the automation of the manufacture
of products by computers or robots using design information originating from a
CAD system.
 
  "CORBA"--Common Object Request Broker Architecture; CORBA is an industry
standard that defines a higher level facility for distributed computing. CORBA
allows applications to communicate with one another without regard to the
hardware or software systems or the location of the application.
 
  "ERP"--Enterprise Resource Planning; ERP is an application with an
enterprise-wide focus on customer order management, financial information,
personnel and availability of materials.
 
  "ICAM"--Information Classification And Management; ICAM is a software
technology which serves a dual function. The first function is the ability to
read and classify information based on attributes with which end-users are
familiar. The second function allows for the maintenance and retrieval of this
information. ICAM provides a mechanism for retrieval of stored information
through user defined queries. ICAM also allows the user to add, change and
remove information.
 
  "Legacy systems"--Applications and databases maintained by an enterprise
consisting of previously developed or acquired data or other information.
 
  "Migration of data"--The process whereby data or information is moved from
one database to another, or from one system to another. The Company's software
product, ItemQuest(TM) "Symbol", permits a customer to "migrate" legacy data
from that customer's existing database to its ItemQuest database and classify
the data based on attributes specified by the customer.
 
  "Object oriented"--Object oriented programming is a form of software
development that models real world entities through a representation of
"objects" that contain data as well as instructions that work upon the data.
With objects, a system can be designed using familiar business entities (such
as a person or an account), and the design can be carried all the way down to
the programming level. Object technology assists users by providing solutions
that more closely resemble the business processes with which they are
familiar.
 
  "PDM"--Product Data Management; PDM is a system of software applications,
used principally by manufacturing and design companies, which allow management
and control of product-related data from development and design stages through
the manufacturing and post-production marketing phases of a product.
 
  "Virtual object warehouse"--Most large companies keep their data in various
disparate databases associated with several applications. With a data
warehouse, a company periodically extracts data from its various application
databases and consolidates it centrally. Object warehouses store business
objects rather than the simple relational data typically found in data
warehouses, greatly simplifying access to the information. In a virtual
warehouse, data is not physically copied to a central database, but is instead
transparently accessed from the native disparate databases. A virtual object
warehouse allows easy access to business objects and their information without
requiring a centralized repository.
 
  "Virtual object warehouse and classification system"--A virtual object
warehouse and classification system combines the power and flexibility of
virtual object warehousing and information classification and management
systems. (See above definitions.) In a virtual object warehouse and
classification system, enterprise-wide business objects can be accessed
without requiring them to be located in one centralized database.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and must be read in
conjunction with, the more detailed information and the Financial Statements
and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Investors should
consider carefully the information set forth under "Risk Factors." Unless
otherwise indicated, (i) the information set forth in this Prospectus assumes
no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option and (ii) all share and
per share data gives effect to stock splits effected during 1996. Certain
information contained in this Prospectus Summary and elsewhere in this
Prospectus, including information with regard to the Company's strategy for
expanding operations and related financing requirements, are forward looking
statements. For a discussion of important factors that could affect such
matters, see "Risk Factors."
 
THE COMPANY
 
  International CompuTex, Inc. ("ICI" or the "Company") was incorporated in
Georgia in January 1991. The Company's principal executive offices are located
at 5500 Interstate North Parkway, Suite 507, Atlanta, Georgia 30328-4662, and
its telephone number at that address is (770) 953-1464. The Company's World
Wide Web address is http://www.computex.com. Information contained in such
World Wide Web site shall not be deemed to be part of this Prospectus.
 
  ICI is a software technology company that develops, markets and supports
enterprise-wide client/server solutions and provides consulting and
implementation services for the manufacturing and process industries. ICI
specializes in helping companies improve competitiveness through the
application of information technology. The Company is active in the areas of
systems analysis and design, cross platform software development, object-
oriented technology and client/server architecture. In addition to its
technical expertise, ICI has built strong skills in industry applications for
manufacturing and product data management ("PDM"). PDM is a software technology
which allows management and control of product-related data from product
development and design to manufacturing and post-production maintenance. The
Company has focused its product development efforts on information
classification and management ("ICAM"). Among other applications, ICAM is one
of the major components of a PDM solution. Management believes that ICAM
applications are underdeveloped in the marketplace and hold great potential for
future development and sales.
 
  ICI's virtual object warehouse and classification system, ItemQuest(TM), is
currently in the controlled availability stage with a limited number of
licensees. Management believes that ItemQuest supplies an important missing
component of a PDM solution by addressing one of the most elementary but costly
problems of the manufacturing and engineering industries--how to quickly
identify, search and retrieve existing parts information, design elements and
their relevant components for re-use throughout the enterprise. ItemQuest is
based on a sophisticated object oriented classification and search engine which
enables users to search, select and re-use product data design and
manufacturing information based on engineering or manufacturing attributes.
This, in turn, enables manufacturers to reduce product development costs and
shorten time to market, factors which increase their competitiveness.
 
  ICI, through ItemQuest and through its services, intends to become a leading
solution provider in the ICAM and PDM markets, and to be known for its
expertise and success in helping companies improve their competitiveness
through the implementation of ICAM and PDM technology. Management expects that
the Company's focus on information classification and management through the
delivery of ItemQuest will help the Company achieve a leadership position in
these markets.

(1) These pro forma amounts are based upon the assumption that the Company had
    been treated for income tax purposes as a C corporation during each of
    these fiscal years, using a combined 37.7% federal and state income tax
    rate. Since inception, the Company has been treated for income tax purposes
    as an S corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986, as amended (the "Code"), and under Georgia income tax laws. Earnings
    of the Company have been taxed for federal and State of Georgia tax
    purposes directly to the stockholders of the Company, rather than the
    Company. The Company's S corporation status will be terminated immediately
    prior to the closing of this Offering. Upon the termination of the
    Company's S corporation status, in addition to becoming subject to
    corporate tax at the federal and state levels, the Company will, for future
    periods, be required to provide for deferred federal and state income
    taxes, calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
    Statement 109 ("FAS 109") for the cumulative temporary differences between
    the financial reporting and income tax bases of the Company's assets and
    liabilities.

(3) The pro forma balance sheet data as of December 31, 1996 gives effect to an
    additional estimated provision of approximately $21,600 for deferred income
    taxes, which would have been required as a charge against retained earnings
    had the Company terminated its S corporation status at December 31, 1996.
    It also reflects the liability for the distribution of $1,528,902 as of
    December 31, 1996 to current stockholders of the Company from the proceeds
    of this Offering. See "Prior S Corporation Status and Distributions" and
    Note A of the Notes to Financial Statements.

    the Company hereby at the assumed initial public offering price of $9.00
    per share (and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and
    estimated offering expenses, including $22,424 of previously deferred
    offering expenses) and the application of the estimated net proceeds
    therefrom. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization."
(5) See "Prior S Corporation Status and Distributions" for a discussion of the
    proposed distribution to current stockholders of all or substantially all
    of the undistributed S corporation earnings of the Company through the day

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD, PRIOR TO ANY PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK,
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AS WELL AS THE OTHER
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-
LOOKING STATEMENTS, AND ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE
PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NUMEROUS FACTORS,
INCLUDING THE FACTORS SET FORTH BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
 
  INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCT; CHANGE OF BUSINESS FOCUS. ICI currently derives
the great majority of its revenue from its services business, primarily from
project management, implementation and customization services for the PDM
product of International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"), called
ProductManager(TM), and from custom development services in cross platform,
client/server and object oriented software and consulting. Management believes
that the basis for the Company's next stage of growth will be the development,
delivery, support and evolution of ItemQuest. While the Company is experienced
in software development as part of custom development contracts, it has no
previous experience in the distribution and maintenance of its own product. To
be successful with ItemQuest, Management believes that the Company must invest
in and develop a strategy for distribution, customer service, maintenance,
pricing, marketing and sales. Functions including training and defect support
must be developed, staffed and maintained.
 
  There can be no assurance that ItemQuest will achieve broad market
acceptance or that the Company will be successful in marketing ItemQuest or
enhancements to that product. In the event that the Company's current or
future competitors release new products that have more advanced features,
offer better performance or are more price competitive than ItemQuest, demand
for ItemQuest may decline or may fail to materialize. Lack of demand for
ItemQuest due to competition, technological change or other factors would have
a material adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
 
  RELIANCE ON IBM; LACK OF VISIBILITY IN THE MARKET. To date, most of ICI's
revenue has been derived from services rendered directly to IBM or as a
subcontractor to IBM customers. Overall, IBM has accounted, directly or
indirectly, for 75% of ICI's 1993 revenues, 65% of 1994 revenues, 81% of 1995
revenues and 70% of 1996 revenues. Management believes that IBM benefits from
utilizing ICI's skill and experience to enhance the success of ProductManager.
However, there can be no assurance that such utilization will continue.
 
  While there has been an increase in the number of direct customer contracts
relating to IBM's ProductManager, the predominant existing relationship of the
Company as a subcontractor to IBM has thus far limited the Company's exposure
and opportunities to form direct relationships with customers. In those
instances where ICI has dealt directly with customers, it has been known
primarily for its skill and expertise in providing implementation and
customization services for PDM software systems, particularly for IBM's
ProductManager.
 
  The Company has only extremely limited name recognition for its virtual
object warehouse and classification system (ItemQuest) and has not yet fully
developed production reference sites through the ItemQuest controlled
availability program. Management proposes to diversify and increase the
Company's client base by establishing and expanding a sales and marketing
organization and by attending PDM industry conferences, placing articles in
industry journals and aggressively marketing its services and ItemQuest to
industry consultants. However, there can be no assurance that the proposed
marketing plans will be carried out, or if carried out, will result in
favorable reviews or lead to anticipated results.
 
  Prior to 1996, IBM used ICI's skills primarily in product development. In
1996 ICI expanded beyond internal product development and began to provide
product implementation and customization for IBM customers. Maintaining and
growing this revenue stream depends both on IBM's continued confidence in ICI
and IBM's success in the PDM market. While IBM's PDM product has shown
increasing market acceptance, there can be no assurance that other competing
PDM suppliers will not introduce PDM solutions more technologically advanced
than IBM's ProductManager, or that ProductManager will continue to be a leader
in the PDM market. The failure of ProductManager to sustain or increase its
share of the PDM solutions market would have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  The relationship of ICI to IBM is governed by an umbrella agreement with IBM
and by a series of individual subcontracts and work orders. None of these
agreements provide for services to be rendered over a long term and each of
them is subject to termination on relatively short notice. Accordingly, ICI's
prospects for continued IBM-related services depend primarily on ICI's
relationship to IBM and IBM's customers, rather than on long-term contractual
relationships. There can be no assurance that these relationships will
continue.
 
  MANAGEMENT OF EXPANDING OPERATIONS. ICI has experienced significant growth
in recent periods, with operating revenues increasing from approximately
$355,000 in 1993 to approximately $3,891,000 in 1996. In addition, the Company
has experienced significant growth in the number of its employees, the scope
of its operating and financial systems, and the geographic area of its
operations. That growth has placed a significant strain upon its management
systems and resources. The Company's ability to compete effectively and to
manage future growth, if any, will require the Company to continue to improve
its financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures on a
timely basis and to expand, train and manage its employee base. It is
anticipated that additional experienced management will need to be added to
meet the demands of expanded operations. There can be no assurance that such
additional management will be attracted and retained, or that the existing and
new management will be able to implement such systems effectively or on a
timely basis or to manage future expansion successfully. The failure or
inability to do so could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
  RISK OF PRODUCT DEFECTS. The Company has only recently begun to install and
implement test sites of ItemQuest with major manufacturers. As a result, the
Company has only limited experience with the installation, implementation and
operation of ItemQuest at customer sites. There can be no assurance that
ItemQuest will not require substantial modifications to satisfy performance
requirements or to fix previously undetected errors. If customers were to
experience significant problems with ItemQuest, or if the Company's customers
were dissatisfied with the product's functionality, performance or support,
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations would be
materially adversely affected.
 
  DISTRIBUTION RISKS; NEED TO ESTABLISH SALES CHANNELS. Until the recent
limited introduction of ItemQuest, the Company's business operations consisted
of providing services, primarily on a subcontracting basis. As a result, ICI
has not previously needed to maintain an extensive sales organization. With
the introduction of ItemQuest, Management believes that the Company must
establish sales channels and marketing, selling and consulting relationships,
both domestically and internationally. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to attract sufficient direct sales personnel, hardware
and software vendors, systems integrators or other marketing and selling
partners, or that the Company's actions to develop such channels will not
adversely affect its relationship with IBM. See "Reliance on IBM; Lack of
Visibility in the Market." There can also be no assurance that the cost of the
Company's investment in direct and indirect sales channels will not exceed the
revenues, if any, generated from that investment or that the Company's sales
and marketing organization will successfully compete against the sales and
marketing organizations of competitors.
 
  COMPETITION. In providing software services, both related to ProductManager
and otherwise, ICI faces competition from numerous services providers. Many of
those competing services providers, both large and small, may have technical
skills that match or exceed those offered or intended to be offered by ICI in
the computer services industry. Barriers to entry in providing computer
services are very low, resulting in downward pricing pressures and competition
for skilled technicians. There can be no assurance that ICI will be able to
continue its growth in services revenues in the face of these competitive
factors.
 
  In its efforts to market ItemQuest, ICI will face direct competition from at
least two significant vendors of ICAM-related software: Aspect Development,
Inc. and CADIS, Inc. Those vendors, each of which has significantly greater
financial resources than the Company, have established customer bases, giving
them a significant advantage in the marketing of ICAM products. Additionally,
IBM may in the future decide to develop its own ICAM product integrated with
its ProductManager software. Such a product would significantly affect the
Company's software revenues from the licensing of ItemQuest as well as
ProductManager-related services revenue.
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
  Because the barriers to entry in the software industry are relatively low,
the Company could experience additional competition for ItemQuest from other
established or emerging companies in the client/server application software
market. The Company's competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new
or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote
greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. In
the future, products offered by PDM vendors and vendors of other complementary
products may provide ICAM functions that are highly specific to their core
technologies, making it more difficult for an independent company such as ICI
to promote its product to customers of those vendors. Many of these potential
competitors have well-established relationships with the Company's current and
potential customers, extensive knowledge of the client/server industry, better
name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, sales,
marketing and other resources than ICI and may offer single vendor solutions
which span multiple industries. In addition, new competitors, or alliances
among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. The
Company also expects that competition will increase as a result of software
industry consolidations.
 
  Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely
affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive
pressures will not materially and adversely affect its business, financial
condition and results of operations. See "Business--Competition."
 
  NEED FOR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. Management believes that the future success of
ICI will depend to a significant extent upon its ability to attract, train and
retain highly skilled technical, management, marketing and consulting
personnel. In particular, the Company has identified an immediate need for a
full-time chief accounting officer. Competition for such personnel is intense,
and the Company expects that such competition will continue for the
foreseeable future. The Company has from time to time experienced difficulty
in locating candidates with appropriate qualifications. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting or retaining such
personnel, and the failure to attract such personnel could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
  RELIANCE ON ACCEPTANCE OF PDM SOLUTIONS. ICI's revenues are derived
predominantly from services related to IBM's ProductManager. The Company's
future financial performance will depend to a large extent on the growth in
the number of organizations adopting client/server software and reference data
products for PDM solutions generally, and IBM's ProductManager in particular,
as the users of these solutions engage outside vendors to implement, maintain,
customize and enhance such solutions. If the PDM market does grow, the
Company's future growth will depend upon the extent to which PDM users select
ItemQuest and use ICI's PDM services. There can be no assurance that the
market for PDM products and services will continue to grow or that the
Company's complementary products or PDM services will achieve market
acceptance. If the PDM market develops more slowly than expected, or if
ItemQuest does not gain acceptance within the PDM market, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
adversely affected.
 
  FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF ItemQuest. Management believes that ItemQuest
currently offers effective and comprehensive information classification and
management capability. However, as a new product, there are areas where
further development of ItemQuest would assist in achieving broad-based market
acceptance. In particular, in order to achieve such market acceptance
ItemQuest may need further development to include standard classification
schemas and a pre-packaged component reference database, advanced tools to
support legacy systems and migration of data and support for capabilities to
manage component suppliers. There is no assurance that further development in
those areas will be accomplished, or that any such further development will be
effective in achieving market acceptance. See "Business--Competition."
 
  DEPENDENCE ON RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMPLEMENTARY VENDORS. The Company expects
that its relationship with IBM will lead to beneficial relationships with
ProductManager customers. However, the Company intends to build additional
alliances with complementary PDM vendors and vendors of computer aided design
(CAD) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) products to exploit the growing
market and promote future growth. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be able to successfully build such relationships with such
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
vendors, or that the Company's attempt to build such relationships will not
negatively affect its relationship with IBM. Failure to build and maintain
relationships with other vendors, or the loss of the IBM relationship, could
materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
 
  PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE; NEED TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS AND ENHANCEMENTS. The
markets for PDM and ICAM products are new and emerging. As such, these markets
are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving requirements,
developing industry standards and new product introductions. The dynamic
nature of these markets can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable
within a short period of time. Accordingly, the life cycle of ItemQuest is
difficult to estimate. The Company's future success will depend in large part
upon its ability to enhance ItemQuest and to develop and introduce, on a
timely basis, new products that keep pace with technological developments and
emerging industry standards. The success of the Company's software development
efforts will depend on various factors, including its ability to integrate
these products with third-party products.
 
  INTERNATIONAL SALES. ItemQuest and ICI's services are targeted primarily to
large multinational companies, many of which are based outside of the United
States or have installation requirements outside of the United States,
primarily in Europe and Asia. To service the needs of such companies and take
advantage of the opportunities outside the United States, the Company must
provide worldwide sales and product support services. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to expand its existing operations
outside the United States or create an effective presence in Europe and in
Asia.
 
  In addition, there are a number of risks inherent in international
expansion, including increased risk of software piracy, unexpected changes in
regulatory requirements, tariffs, and other trade barriers, costs and risks of
localizing products for foreign countries, longer accounts receivable payment
cycles and increased collection risks, potentially adverse tax consequences,
difficulty of repatriation of earnings and the burdens of complying with a
wide variety of foreign laws. International sales may be denominated and
collected in both U. S. dollars and international currency. Accordingly, a
portion of the Company's international sales may be subject to currency
fluctuation risks which could adversely affect the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, an increase in the
value of the U. S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make the
Company's products more expensive and potentially less competitive in those
markets where the Company's sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.
 
  FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The Company's revenues and results of
operations have varied on a quarterly and an annual basis in the past and are
expected to vary significantly in the future. This will be particularly true
as the Company attempts to derive increasing revenue from licenses of
ItemQuest. The Company's revenues and results of operations are difficult to
forecast and could be materially adversely affected in any given period by
many factors, some of which are outside the control of the Company. These
include, among other factors, the relatively long sales and implementation
cycles for the Company's products and services; the size and timing of
individual license transactions; seasonality of revenues; changes in the
Company's operating expenses; changes in the mix of products and services
sold; timing of introduction or enhancement of products by the Company or its
competitors; market acceptance of new products; technological changes in
software and hardware; personnel changes and difficulties in attracting and
retaining qualified sales, marketing, technical and consulting personnel;
changes in customers' budgeting cycles; foreign currency exchange rates;
quality control of products sold; and economic conditions generally and in
specific industry segments.
 
  LENGTHY SALES AND IMPLEMENTATION CYCLES. Marketing of ItemQuest is expected
to require the Company to engage in a sales cycle typically lasting up to six
months, during which the Company will need to educate prospective customers
about the use and benefits of ItemQuest. In addition, the implementation of
ItemQuest typically will involve a significant commitment of resources by the
customer over an extended period of time, due to the customer's need to re-
engineer its product development processes. For these reasons, sales and
customer implementation cycles will be subject to significant delays over
which the Company may have little or no control. Accordingly, any delay in the
sale or customer implementation of a large project or a number of
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
smaller projects could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations and may cause the
Company's operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
 
  LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY. The Company was founded in 1991 and, until the
recent introduction of ItemQuest, was chiefly a supplier of services to IBM
and to ProductManager customers. As the Company's business expanded from 1993
through 1996, it has been able to manage its expenses (primarily the cost of
technical personnel) in line with revenues, generating substantial profit
margins. Nevertheless, the Company has only a limited operating history upon
which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects. As the Company
undergoes a significant change in its business with the introduction of
ItemQuest and expands its operations to meet the expected demand for services
and for that product, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to realize or sustain such growth or that the Company will remain profitable
in the future.
 
  CONCENTRATION OF SHARE OWNERSHIP AND VOTING POWER. Based upon the number of
shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding upon the completion of this
Offering, the executive officers and directors of the Company, as a group,
will beneficially own approximately 63.4% of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock, after giving effect to the exercise of all outstanding options held by
such individuals as of December 31, 1996. As a result, the executive officers
and directors as a group will be able to elect at least a majority of the
Board of Directors and will retain the voting power to approve all matters
requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company. In addition, subject to
certain limitations imposed by applicable law, the executive officers and
directors of the Company will be able to, among other things, amend the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and effect or preclude
fundamental corporate transactions involving the Company, including the
acceptance or rejection of any proposals relating to a merger of the Company
or an acquisition of the Company by another entity, in each case without the
approval of any of the Company's other stockholders. See "Principal and
Selling Stockholders" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
  DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES. The Company's
success depends to a significant extent upon members of senior management and
other key employees, none of whom have agreements for a particular term of
employment or providing for future compensation. The Company does not maintain
key man life insurance on any of its employees, but intends to apply for such
coverage for its Chief Executive Officer, Haim E. Dahan. The loss of the
services of any one of the key employees could have a material adverse affect
on the Company. See "Management--Officers and Key Employees."
 
  DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY AND LICENSED TECHNOLOGY. The Company's success
depends in great measure on its proprietary technology. The Company will rely
primarily on a combination of copyrights, trade secrets, confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions with its employees, consultants and
business partners and on its license agreements to protect its proprietary
rights. The Company will attempt to protect its software, published data,
documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright
laws, which afford only limited protection. In addition, the Company will
consider technical procedures to further protect against unauthorized copying
and use, as deemed necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in protecting its proprietary technology or that unauthorized
parties will not attempt to or be successful in copying aspects of the
Company's products or obtain and use the Company's proprietary information.
 
  Management believes that ItemQuest may be particularly vulnerable to
unauthorized use in certain countries due to the ability of users of ItemQuest
to implement this product in a limited mode without the assistance of ICI.
There can be no assurance that steps taken by the Company to deter this
misappropriation will be adequate.
 
  The Company may submit patent applications with respect to ItemQuest in the
future. If and when submitted, there can be no assurance that any patent
covering ItemQuest will be issued, or that any patent, if issued, will provide
sufficient protection or prove enforceable in actions against alleged
infringements. The Company is not aware that ItemQuest infringes the
proprietary rights of third parties, but there can be no assurances that third
parties will not claim infringement by the Company with respect to current or
future products. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time
consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, or
require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements with the
third party claiming ownership. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if
required, may not be available on terms
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
acceptable to the Company or at all, which could have a material adverse affect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
  In addition, the Company relies on certain software that it licenses from
third parties, including software that is used in ItemQuest. There can be no
assurance that such firms will remain in business, that they will continue to
support their products, that their products will continue to be suitable for
ICI's needs or that their products will otherwise continue to be available to
the Company, and if so, on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of or
inability to maintain any of these software licenses or the failure to obtain
suitable substitutes could result in delays or cancellations in product
shipments, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
  PLANNED DISTRIBUTION OF ACCUMULATED EARNINGS IN CONNECTION WITH CONVERSION TO
C CORPORATION STATUS. Since its formation, the Company has elected S
corporation status for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company
intends to convert from an S corporation to a C corporation concurrently with
the closing of this Offering. As a result, effective on the day preceding such
closing, the Company intends to distribute accumulated S corporation earnings
to the five existing stockholders in the amount of approximately $1,830,000.
The Company will distribute certain receivables and cash to effect this
distribution. It is anticipated that a portion of the cash distribution will be
funded out of the proceeds of this Offering. As a result of this planned
distribution, prospective investors in the Company should make their investment
decision on the basis of their evaluation of future prospects of the Company,
rather than the current financial condition of the Company. See "Certain
Transactions," "Prior S Corporation Status and Distributions" and "Use of
Proceeds."
 
  As a result of the proposed stockholder distribution in connection with the
Company's conversion to a C corporation, the Company's cash reserves as of
December 31, 1996 will not be available to the Company for operational and
other purposes. Management believes, although no assurance can be provided,
that the net proceeds of this Offering, combined with anticipated cash flow
resulting from pending projects, will provide adequate cash for operations for
at least the next eighteen months. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
  NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING. Management believes that the proceeds of this
Offering will be adequate to address the near-term capital needs of the
Company. Over the longer term, however, it is anticipated that additional
capital will be required as the Company continues its expansion program. The
amount of additional capital that will be needed cannot be determined at this
time. The source of this capital may be further public or private equity or
debt financings, collaborative arrangements with corporate partners or funds
from other sources. No assurance can be given that funds to finance this
further development will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at
all. Additionally, such additional financing may involve substantial dilution
to the Company's stockholders or may require that the Company relinquish rights
to certain of its technologies or products. If adequate funds are not available
from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company's ability to
continue to expand its business may be adversely affected.
 
  NO PRIOR MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY. Prior to this Offering there has been
no public market for the Common Stock of the Company. The initial public
offering price was determined by negotiations among the Company, the Selling
Stockholders and the Representative. See "Underwriting" for a discussion of the
factors considered in determining the initial public offering price. There can
be no assurance that an active public market will develop or be sustained after
this Offering or that the market price of the Common Stock will not decline
below the initial public offering price. Future announcements concerning the
Company or its competitors, quarterly or annual variations in results of
operations, announcements of technological innovations, the introduction of new
products or changes in pricing policies by the Company or its competitors,
proprietary rights, litigation, changes in earnings estimates by analysts and
other factors could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate
substantially. In addition, stock prices for many technology companies
fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to results of operations.
These fluctuations, as well as general economic, market and political
conditions such as recessions or military conflicts, may materially and
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.

  SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Immediately upon the
effectiveness of this Offering, the 1,125,000 shares offered hereby will be
freely tradeable. The sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public
market following this Offering could have a material adverse affect on the
price of the Common Stock. Beginning one year after the date of this Offering,
approximately 2,125,000 shares will become eligible for sale upon the
expiration of agreements not to sell such shares, subject to compliance with
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Representative may, in its sole
discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the
securities subject to such agreements.
 
  As of February 7, 1997, there were outstanding stock options covering an
aggregate of 336,513 shares of Common Stock granted to Company employees under
ICI's employee stock option plans. Of those option shares, 159,511 shares that
may be acquired upon exercise of certain of these options are restricted from
being transferred for a period of one year following the closing date of this
Offering. Nevertheless, beginning one year after the closing date of this
Offering, options outstanding on February 7, 1997 covering 127,456 shares will
be exercisable, and the Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of those
options would be eligible for sale, subject in some cases to compliance with
Rule 144. Sale of a substantial portion of those shares could have a material
adverse affect on the price of the Common Stock.
 
  Purchasers of Senior Debentures sold by the Company in January 1997 received
warrants from the stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholder Warrants") to
purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock held by these stockholders. Those
warrants are exercisable following the closing date of this Offering and
continuing through the third anniversary date of the issuance of the
Stockholder Warrants. Holders of the Stockholder Warrants who purchase Common
Stock within the 30-day period following the date of this Prospectus will
receive Common Stock that will be freely transferable one year after the date
of this Prospectus. Holders of the Stockholder Warrants who exercise their
Warrants after that 30-day period may receive restricted Common Stock, but in
any event will have certain piggyback registration rights in a Company-
initiated registration with respect to such Common Stock. If such holders, by
direct market sales or by exercising their piggyback registration rights, cause
a large number of shares to be sold in the public market, such sales could have
a material adverse affect on the market price for the Common Stock. In
addition, inclusion of such shares in a Company-initiated registration may have
an adverse affect on the Company's ability to raise needed capital. See "Shares
Eligible for Future Sale" and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
  IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO NEW INVESTORS. The initial public
offering price is substantially higher than the price per share paid by current
stockholders, which was a negligible amount. Investors purchasing Common Stock
in this Offering will, therefore, incur immediate dilution from the initial
public offering price and will incur additional dilution upon the exercise of
outstanding stock options. See "Dilution."
 
  FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. Although not applicable as a safe harbor to limit
the Company's liability for sales made in this Offering, this Prospectus
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Such forward-looking statements may be deemed to include marketing plans, the
Company's expectations concerning growth in the market, certain financial
projections and the Company's planned use of proceeds. Actual results could
differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements. The forward-
looking statements are made as of the date of this Prospectus and the Company
assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements, or to update
the reasons why actual results may differ from those projected in the forward-
looking statements. Numerous factors, including without limitation factors
mentioned in this Risk Factors section, many of which are beyond the control of
Management of ICI, could cause future results to differ substantially from
those contemplated in such forward-looking statements.
 
  RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EMERGING INTERNET MARKET. A portion of the Company's
strategy is to utilize the Internet and the World Wide Web to enable ItemQuest
to be better utilized as an enterprise-wide solution to item classification and
maintenance. ICI intends to extend ItemQuest's potential user community by
allowing web browser access to ItemQuest's information search and maintenance
features. The Company may devote substantial resources to developing products
designed for use with the Internet and the World Wide Web, and there can be no
assurance that the revenues generated, if any, from the use of the Internet and
the World Wide Web will be greater than the costs of developing and modifying
products for such use. Further, the Company's solutions may be rendered
obsolete by or less valuable in comparison to competitive solutions made
possible by
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
 
future development of the Internet and the World Wide Web. If this were to
occur, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations
may be materially adversely affected.
 
                  PRIOR S CORPORATION STATUS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  Since its inception, the Company has elected to operate under Subchapter S of
the Code and comparable provisions of the Georgia corporate income tax laws. An
S corporation generally is not subject to income tax at the corporate level
(with certain exceptions under state income tax laws). Instead, the S
corporation's income generally passes through to the shareholders and is taxed
on their personal income tax returns.
 
  Concurrently with the closing date of this Offering, the Company will elect
to terminate its S corporation status. As a result, the Company's earnings
through the date of termination of the Company's S corporation status generally
will be taxed for federal and state income tax purposes directly to those
persons who were stockholders of the Company prior to the closing of this
Offering (the "Pre-Offering Stockholders"). Subsequent to the termination of
its S corporation status, the Company will be subject to federal and state
income taxes on its earnings.
 
  Effective the day preceding the closing date of this Offering, the Company
will declare a distribution to the Pre-Offering Stockholders in an amount equal
to the Company's undistributed S corporation earnings from its formation
through the date immediately preceding the date of termination of the Company's
S corporation status. If the Company's S corporation status had terminated as
of December 31, 1996, the amount of the additional distribution would have been
$1,528,902. The actual amount of this distribution is estimated to be
approximately $1,830,000, reflecting undistributed earnings through the date
preceding the anticipated closing date of this Offering. This distribution will
consist of accounts receivable and cash. It is anticipated that a portion of
the cash payments will be funded out of the proceeds of this Offering. See
"Risk Factors--Planned Distribution of Accumulated Earnings in Connection with
Conversion to C Corporation Status," "Use of Proceeds" and "Certain
Transactions."
 
  Purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering will not receive any of this
final distribution.
 
  Prior to the completion of this Offering, it is currently anticipated that
the Company will enter into an S corporation termination, tax allocation and
indemnification agreement with the Pre-Offering Stockholders relating to the
distribution of undistributed S corporation earnings to such Stockholders and
indemnification arrangements among such Stockholders and the Company for
certain tax liabilities.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $9.00 per share, the net
proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock
offered by the Company hereby are estimated to be approximately $8,814,000
(approximately $9,505,000 if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The anticipated uses of the
net proceeds are subject to change due to the actual circumstances of operating
the Company's business. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of shares by the Selling Stockholders, which will occur, if at all, only to the
extent of 50% of the Underwriters' over-allotment option.
 
  The principal purposes of this Offering are to increase the Company's equity
capital, to create a public market for the Common Stock, to facilitate future
access by the Company to public equity markets and to provide increased
visibility of the Company.
 
  The Company currently intends to allocate the net proceeds of this Offering
first to repay the Senior Debentures, including $1,115,000 in principal and
approximately $             in accrued and unpaid interest, pursuant to the
Company's obligation to prepay the Senior Debentures upon completion of an
initial public offering in the amount of at least $5 million. In addition, it
is estimated that approximately $             of the net proceeds will be used
to pay the cash portion of the distribution to the current stockholders in
connection with the Company's conversion from an S corporation to a C
corporation. The balance of the net proceeds are intended to be used for
infrastructure and equipment purchases and upgrades, product development,
expanded marketing and sales activities, and working capital.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
 
  The Senior Debentures were issued in January 1997 in a private placement to
17 individuals, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,115,000. That offering
was for the purpose of funding infrastructure and equipment purchases,
expansion of marketing and sales capacity, and for working capital and general
corporate purposes. Interest accrues on the Senior Debentures at 6% per annum,
payable semi-annually, and the principal amount is due and payable in January
2000, subject to the prepayment requirement referred to above.
 
  A portion of the proceeds from this Offering may also be used to acquire or
invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use
complementary technologies. While from time to time the Company evaluates
potential acquisitions of such businesses, products and technologies, there are
no present commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisition.
 
  Pending such uses, the Company currently plans to invest the net proceeds in
investment grade, short-term, interest-bearing debt securities.
 
  The Company believes, based upon its current plans, that its existing capital
resources, including the net proceeds of this Offering, will be sufficient to
meet its cash needs for at least eighteen months after this Offering. See,
however, "Risk Factors--Need for Additional Financing."
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  The Company made aggregate distributions to its stockholders of $137,903,
$678,706 and $1,215,217 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These dividends
were paid by the Company while it maintained subchapter S status for income tax
purposes. The Company expects to change this election to C corporation status
concurrently with the closing of this Offering, and in connection with that
change declare a dividend to its current stockholders, in an amount estimated
at approximately $1,830,000. See "Prior S Corporation Status and
Distributions."
 
  Following this Offering, it will be the policy of the Company to retain
earnings to finance the business. Accordingly, other than final Subchapter S
distribution, as described above, the Company does not anticipate paying cash
dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends, if
any, will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and will
depend on the Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition,
level of indebtedness and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of
Directors.

  The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company (i) as of
December 31, 1996; (ii) on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
payment of a distribution to the current stockholders of the Company; and
(iii) the capitalization at December 31, 1996 as adjusted to reflect the sale
of 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby, at the
assumed initial public offering price of $9.00 per share, and after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses and the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, as set forth in "Use of Proceeds."
This table should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the
Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

(1) Because of certain temporary differences between income for financial and
    tax reporting purposes (which are primarily attributable to the Company's
    election to claim accelerated depreciation in computing its taxable
    income), an additional provision for deferred income taxes will be
    required as a charge against Retained Earnings as of the date upon which
    the S corporation status of the Company is terminated. See Note A of the
    Notes to Financial Statements. The "Pro Forma" column gives effect to an
    additional estimated provision of approximately $21,600 for deferred
    income taxes which would have been required as a charge against retained
    earnings had the Company terminated its S corporation status at December
    31, 1996. It also reflects the payment of the final distribution to the
    current stockholders of the Company. As of December 31, 1996, the amount
    of the final distribution would have totalled $1,528,902. The actual
    amount of the final distribution will depend upon the Company's results of
    operations through the date of termination of S corporation status. See
    "Prior S Corporation Status and Distributions." This column does not
    reflect the issuance of $1,115,000 in Senior Debentures by the Company in
    January 1997, to be repaid out of the net proceeds of this Offering. See
    "Use of Proceeds."
(2) The "As Adjusted" column gives effect to the adjustments described in Note
    (1) above, the receipt of $8,814,000 estimated net proceeds of this
    Offering and the application of net proceeds as set forth under "Use of
    Proceeds." As adjusted outstanding Common Stock excludes 173,311 shares of
    Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options at December 31,
    1996, each at an exercise price of $.543 per share, 163,200 shares of
    Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted
    subsequent to December 31, 1996 each at an exercise price of $4.80 per
    share, and 163,489 shares of Common Stock reserved for future grant under
    the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan. Also excludes 112,500 shares of
    Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Warrants to be
    granted in connection with this Offering. See "Management--Stock Option

  The above computations assume no exercise of stock options after December
31, 1996 and no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option in this
Offering (in which 50% of the option shares would be sold by the Selling
Stockholders and 50% by the Company). As of December 31, 1996, there were
outstanding employee stock options to purchase 173,311 shares of Common Stock
each with an exercise price of $0.543 per share. In connection with this
Offering, the Representative will receive warrants to purchase up to 112,500
shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $10.80 per share (120% of the
assumed initial public offering price), as described in "Underwriting." To the
extent outstanding options or warrants are exercised, there will be further
dilution to new investors. See "Capitalization," "Management--Stock Option

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  From the time of its incorporation in 1991 through mid-1996, all Company
revenues resulted from computer software-related services. To date, ICI has
focused its primary efforts in the area of PDM software applications. ICI has
provided a wide variety of services to IBM, including product development and,
on a subcontract basis, customer installation, implementation and
customization services relating to IBM's PDM product, ProductManager.
 
  ICI also has applied its expertise in client/server software development by
providing specialized software services directly to customers other than IBM,
in some cases relating to IBM's ProductManager and in other cases unrelated to
IBM.
 
  Commencing in April 1995, ICI began development work on its own product,
ItemQuest, which is intended to address the ICAM market, and which includes
PDM-related applications. Among other potential applications, ItemQuest
provides virtual object warehouse and classification capabilities to
manufacturing or engineering customers, enabling them to shorten and reduce
the cost of the new product development cycle. Although research and
development costs began to be incurred in the second quarter of 1995, the
first limited revenues from licenses of ItemQuest were not received until the
last quarter of 1996. Initial licenses of ItemQuest have been offered on a
limited basis to a selected group of customers. As of February 1997, contracts
have been signed with three customers in this "controlled availability
program." When ItemQuest reaches the stage where Management determines that it
is ready for general availability, and ICI begins to license ItemQuest on an
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
increased scale, Management anticipates that substantial service revenues will
be generated by customer implementation and customization of ItemQuest, as
well as from ItemQuest license fees. There can be no assurance, however, that
efforts to license ItemQuest will be successful, or that substantial services
revenues would result from any such licenses. See "Risk Factors--Introduction
of New Product; Change of Business Focus."
 
RELIANCE ON IBM
 
  The Company's business currently is heavily reliant on IBM in two ways.
First, a substantial portion of services revenues are derived directly or
indirectly from IBM, either for (i) product development services rendered
directly to IBM, (ii) services rendered to IBM ProductManager customers on a
subcontract basis through IBM, or (iii) services rendered directly to IBM
customers under contracts to provide implementation or customization services
with respect to IBM's ProductManager. Second, although Management believes
that ItemQuest will be compatible with a wide variety of PDM software products
and with a number of other types of complementary applications, as well as
being useful in stand-alone applications, the strongest initial market for
ItemQuest is expected to be IBM customers currently using ProductManager. See
"Risk Factors--Reliance on IBM; Lack of Visibility in the Market."
 
SENIOR DEBENTURES AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
 
  In January 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of $1,115,000 in Senior
Debentures, bearing interest at 6% per annum, with interest being payable
semi-annually and the principal amount payable in January 2000. The principal
and accrued interest are required to be pre-paid out of the proceeds of this
Offering. The Senior Debentures are held by 17 purchasers, who acquired them
in a private placement. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
  In January 1997, the Company granted stock options to 32 employees, covering
an aggregate of 163,200 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $4.80
per share, under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan. See "Management--Stock
Option Plans."
 
  The Board of Directors of the Company has not determined that the Warrants
issued in connection with the Senior Debentures have any fair market value.
The Board of Directors has determined that the exercise price of the employee
stock options granted in January 1997 was equal to the fair market value of
the Common Stock at the time of the grant. The results of operations for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 could be adversely affected by a non-cash charge
against earnings for interest (less any income tax benefit) if it is
determined that the fair market value of the Warrants exceeded zero at the
time of the issuance of the Senior Debentures, because any value ascribed to
the Warrants would be deemed to be a contribution to capital by the current
stockholders of the Company, and treated as additional interest paid to the
holders of the Senior Debentures. The results of operations for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 also could be adversely affected by a non-cash charge
for compensation (less any income tax benefit) if it is determined that the
exercise price of the employee stock options granted in January 1997 was less
than 100% of the fair market value of those shares at the time the options
were granted.
 
PLANNED DISTRIBUTION OF ACCUMULATED EARNINGS
 
  As discussed in "Prior S Corporation Status and Distributions," in
connection with the conversion of the Company from S corporation status to C
corporation status for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company
intends to distribute to its five current stockholders an amount equal to the
accumulated, undistributed subchapter S earnings of the Company through the
date prior to the closing date of this Offering. This distribution will be
effected by transfer of accounts receivable and by cash payments, a portion of
which will be derived from the proceeds of this Offering.
 
INCOME TAX MATTERS
 
  Since its inception, the Company has elected to operate as an S corporation
under the Code. An S corporation generally is not subject to income tax at the
corporate level (with certain exceptions under state
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
income tax laws). Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include a
provision for federal and state income taxes, except on a pro forma basis.
Effective the date prior to the closing date of this Offering, the Company
will terminate its S corporation status and, thereafter, will be subject to
federal and state income taxes on its earnings. See "Prior S Corporation
Status and Distributions."
 
  In connection with this Offering, the Company's S corporation status will be
terminated. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the
Company will be required to record deferred income taxes upon the termination
of its S corporation status. This will result in a non-cash, non-recurring
charge to earnings during the quarter in which this Offering is completed.
Such charge would have been approximately $21,600 had the S corporation status
of the Company terminated at December 31, 1996. See "Risk Factors--Prior S
Corporation Status and Distributions."

- --------
(1) Net income for each of these fiscal years does not reflect a provision for
    federal and state income taxes, as a consequence of the Company's S
    Corporation status prior to this Offering.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995.
 
  Operating Revenues. The revenues of the Company during the year ended
December 31, 1996 consisted primarily of revenues from software services, with
revenues from licenses and related services in connection with the Company's
ItemQuest product constituting approximately $270,000, or less than 10% of
revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 consisted entirely of
revenues from software services. Operating revenues increased 35% to
approximately $3,891,000 in 1996, compared to approximately $2,876,000 in
1995. This increase resulted from a number of factors. The most important
factor was increased sales of ProductManager by IBM in 1996, resulting in
increased demand for ICI's software services, as a substantial portion of
those services are provided, both directly and on a subcontract basis, to IBM
ProductManager customers.
 
  Increased operating revenues in 1996 over 1995 also were due to increased
overall demand for the Company's software services, including a major project
for the Eastman Kodak Company in 1996. Another factor contributing to
increased operating revenues was an increase in the proportion of projects
undertaken
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
directly with IBM customers, rather than on a subcontract basis. Finally,
there were approximately $270,000 in license fees and related services from
ItemQuest in 1996, compared to no such license fees in 1995.
 
  Software services revenues in 1996 increased in comparison to 1995 with no
significant increases in software services personnel. This was due to more
efficient management of personnel and an increase in the proportion of
software services projects conducted on a fixed bid basis, as compared to an
hourly basis. The factors leading to an increase in operating revenues in 1996
were partially offset by a substantial increase in the amount of personnel
time devoted to the development of the ItemQuest product in 1996, as compared
to 1995.
 
  Operating and Research and Development Expenses. Operating and research and
development expenses increased by approximately $223,000, or 14%, in 1996
compared to 1995. This increase in operating expenses was substantially less
than the increase in operating revenues between the two years, due to the
increased efficiencies referred to above. This rate of increase was reduced
also by the capitalization of approximately $276,000 in ItemQuest development
costs in 1996, compared to 1995, in which no such costs were capitalized, but
instead were expensed as research and development expenses. Increases in
operating expenses were attributable primarily to the addition of the North
Carolina office, and payroll associated with additional management personnel
and sales personnel.
 
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by $89,000, or 59%, in 1996 as compared to 1995. This increase was
due to increased business activity in general, and in particular as a result
of increases in legal and accounting expenses, underwriting expenses
associated with the offering of senior debentures, which commenced in December
1996, and payment of license fees to third-party software vendors.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1994.
 
  Operating Revenues. Operating revenues in 1995 increased by approximately
$1,630,000, or 131%, compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This
increase in operating revenues was due primarily to the increase in demand for
ICI's software services, particularly related to product development efforts
for IBM's ProductManager, and the increase in billing volume generated by
additional personnel hired to provide those services. In 1995, the Company
commenced a substantial product development project for IBM relating to the
IBM ProductManager software product. In addition, there was a substantial
increase in revenues relating to the provision of training services to IBM
ProductManager customers.
 
  Operating and Research and Development Expenses. Operating and research and
development expenses during 1995 increased by approximately $916,000, or 132%,
as compared to 1994. This increase was due primarily to general increases in
business activity and increased personnel required to provide the increased
level of software services. Research and development expense increased by
approximately $98,000 in 1995 over 1994, as a result of ItemQuest product
development efforts. In addition, there was a substantial increase in the
level of infrastructure expenses relating to increases in personnel, as well
as expansion of office space in Atlanta, Georgia.
 
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased in 1995 by approximately $25,000, or 19%, as compared to 1994. This
increase was due to growth in personnel and business activity, and the
corresponding increased demand for general and administrative services.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The primary source of the Company's cash has been operations. As of December
31, 1996, the Company had approximately $120,000 in cash. Net cash provided by
operating activities was approximately $300,000, $680,000 and $1,640,000 for
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and was primarily due to net income of
approximately $427,000, $1,119,000 and $1,820,000, respectively. The sources
of cash from operations were
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $132,000, $483,000 and
$237,000 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and other working capital
changes.
 
  In 1994, 1995 and 1996, approximately $37,000, $59,000 and $365,000,
respectively, were used for investing activities, including purchases of
property and equipment, and, in 1996, $276,000 was used for capitalized
software development costs related to the development of ItemQuest, compared
to no such capitalized costs in 1994 or 1995. Cash used for investing
activities was substantially less in 1995 and 1994, as ItemQuest development
costs substantially increased in 1996.
 
  The Company made distributions to its stockholders, amounting to
approximately $138,000, $679,000 and $1,215,000, in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. As discussed in "Dividends," such distributions are not expected
to continue after the Company converts to C corporation status.
 
  As of December 31, 1996, the Company's principal commitments consisted of
obligations under operating leases for office space. Rent expense for the
1994, 1995 and 1996 totaled $17,063, $57,497 and $79,496, respectively. Future
minimum lease commitments total $110,000 through the year 2000. Future lease
commitments are expected to increase substantially when new leases are
executed for the Atlanta and North Carolina operations. There was no material
long-term debt as of December 31, 1996.
 
  Upon receipt of the proceeds from this Offering, and after such proceeds are
applied as described in "Use of Proceeds," Management anticipates that it will
have adequate cash to fund operations for at least the next eighteen months,
although these funds may not be adequate to fully implement the Company's
long-term expansion plans. See "Risk Factors--Need for Additional Financing."
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
 
  The Company's operating results may fluctuate from period to period as a
result of, among other things, the timing of software services agreements and
ItemQuest license agreements, as well as the somewhat seasonal nature of
customers' capital budgets. Given the limited experience of the Company in
licensing the ItemQuest product, Management cannot predict the extent or
nature of sales fluctuations or the impact of cyclical factors.
 
INFLATION
 
  Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the
Company's operations during the past several years. Management anticipates
that the Company generally will be able to modify its pricing structure for
services and products to substantially offset future increases in its
operating costs.
 
                                   BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
  ICI is a software technology company that develops, markets and supports
client/server software and implementation services for the manufacturing and
process industries. ICI provides services in the areas of system analysis and
design, object-oriented technology, cross platform development, and
client/server architecture. Since its inception in 1991, ICI has built strong
skills in industry applications for manufacturing and product data management
("PDM"). ICI's virtual object warehouse and classification system (ItemQuest),
which currently is in the controlled availability stage, enables manufacturers
to reduce product development costs and time-to-market by allowing them to
create and manage their own standardized repository for information regarding
all items used throughout the enterprise. ItemQuest is based on a
sophisticated object oriented classification and search engine used to
classify objects, such as parts and assemblies, documents and drawings, and to
retrieve references to those objects. These capabilities enable ItemQuest to
complement and enhance the effectiveness of PDM software, as well as other
systems.
 
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
  Currently, ICI's revenues are derived primarily from its services business,
which is comprised principally of PDM-related services and custom software
development. The demand for these services, especially in the PDM application
area, is strong and exceeds ICI's current capacity. Management expects that
this demand will increase, although this cannot be assured. See "Risk
Factors--Management of Expanding Operations."
 
  Management anticipates that ItemQuest will be made generally available to
the marketplace by the end of the first quarter of 1997. At that time, in
addition to generation of license fee revenue, Management anticipates that
ItemQuest will add significantly to the Company's core services business.
Management expects the ratio of services to license fee revenue for ItemQuest
to be roughly two to one. ItemQuest remains in the controlled availability
stage, however, and no assurances can be given that ItemQuest will be
successfully introduced. See "Risk Factors -Introduction of New Product;
Change of Business Focus."
 
  ICI is closely associated with IBM Manufacturing Industry Solutions Unit,
based in Charlotte, North Carolina, where ICI maintains an office. Because of
the Company's relationship with that Unit, which is responsible for the
development and support of ProductManager, a large portion of ICI's customer
base consists of manufacturing companies that are users of ProductManager.
ProductManager customers for which ICI has provided services directly or
through IBM include, among others, Pratt & Whitney, Lockheed Martin, Space
Systems/Loral, IVECO, SPS Technologies, Hyundai, Daewoo Motor Co. and Siemens.
It is anticipated that this customer base will continue to grow as IBM
experiences success in the PDM market. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on IBM;
Lack of Visibility in the Market."
 
  The Company's primary objective is to be a leader in the information
classification and management (ICAM) marketplace, both in terms of products
and services. To achieve that objective, the Company's business strategy
includes a roll-out of ItemQuest into the PDM marketplace and in other
applications; increasing technical personnel available to provide ICAM and
PDM-related services; leveraging its existing customer relationships to
capture new customers; increasing exposure to customers using PDM products;
increasing advertising and marketing to build awareness for ItemQuest and ICI
services; and expanding into international markets. Management believes that
the Company can substantially implement these strategies with the proceeds
from this Offering. See, however, "Risk Factors--Need for Additional
Financing."
 
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
 
  Manufacturing and process companies face intense competitive pressure on a
global basis. Their response is to increase focus on bringing products to
market faster and at lower cost, with increasingly higher levels of quality.
To achieve those enhancements, these companies have re-engineered their
processes and continue to make significant investments in information
technology. One such technology is PDM. PDM is software technology that allows
companies to manage and control product related data from the product
development and design stages through manufacturing and post-production
maintenance stages. By managing and sharing this data more effectively,
manufacturing companies can improve the efficiency of their entire product
development process and reduce time-to-market, thereby increasing their
competitiveness.
 
  A major component within a PDM application is information classification and
management, or ICAM. ICAM allows companies to classify and group data by its
characteristics, thereby providing the capability for quick and easy access to
data. Management believes that this access frequently is integral to a
successful PDM implementation. The primary objective of information
classification and management is to reduce time-to-market of new products.

         [CHART DEPICTING PARTS CLASSIFICATION PROBLEMS APPEARS HERE]
 
 
 
  It is typical in modern manufacturing for even the least complex products to
be composed of numerous parts, some supplied by third party vendors and some
manufactured within the enterprise. Purchase or development of these parts can
represent a substantial portion of new product cost. The search for or
development of the right parts or the optimal combination of parts can create
significant delays. Thus, selection of the optimal set of parts early in the
design process can greatly reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of new
product development.
 
  A major factor contributing to delays in product development is the inability
of design engineers to quickly locate existing parts or acceptable substitutes
that meet design requirements. Since designing new parts is an expensive and
time-consuming process, manufacturers prefer to re-use existing parts or
acceptable substitutes, whether manufactured internally or by a third party.
Most large manufacturing systems are not equipped with a classification and
search facility that allows the design engineer to easily and definitively
determine whether a part exists or a new one needs to be designed.
 
  Design engineers generally know the particular component they need and the
specific characteristics of that component. However, because traditional
systems do not allow parts to be located based on characteristics or attributes
that a design engineer is familiar with, they are not always helpful. Parts
typically are located by part numbers or coded descriptions. However, design
engineers usually are not familiar with the thousands of part numbers or coded
descriptions that may exist in a large and often geographically dispersed
enterprise. Without a system that provides an effective information
classification and management capability, finding an existing part can be
extremely difficult and time-consuming.
 
  Since searching for an existing part often can take longer than designing a
new part, engineers often take the "easier" approach of designing a new part,
which in most instances is much more expensive than re-using an existing part.
This added cost stems not only from the longer design and manufacturing
process, but also in the lost time in bringing the new product to market. If
the delay is long enough, the manufacturer's ability to effectively compete in
the marketplace can be greatly hindered.
 
  To reduce product development costs and shorten time-to-market, several
capabilities must be provided. Vast amounts of information related to either
custom components internally designed or provided by suppliers currently exist
in some form within a manufacturing enterprise. This information, commonly
referred to as "legacy data," must be organized and managed to provide optimal
value. To achieve this, legacy data first must
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
 
be standardized (i.e. multiple names for the same component reduced to a
single reference) and mapped from diverse formats and sources to a single part
definition in the classification system. Next, the enterprise must be provided
with the ability to have new parts data added to the legacy data to form one
complete system. Once all of the data is mapped to the company's data system,
powerful search and retrieval capabilities with an intuitive user interface
are required for the selection of the optimal components.
 
  Management believes that there will be an active market for an effective
ICAM system on a stand-alone basis. Moreover, a system that provides ICAM
features, and which is also integrated with a PDM system, would greatly
enhance the effectiveness of the PDM system. Information classification and
management provides an important missing component to a PDM system by creating
a combined system that organizes product data and enables it to be retrieved
with speed and effectiveness.
 
PDM INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
 
   OVERVIEW. The PDM market is growing at a rapid rate. According to CIMdata,
Inc., a PDM industry analyst, worldwide revenues for PDM software and services
were $684 million in 1995, representing a 45% increase over 1994. CIMdata has
reported that it expects the market for PDM software to continue its current
growth and approach $2 billion in annual revenues by 2000. Industry analysts
attribute this trend to several factors:
 
  . Continued investment in technology by manufacturing companies to improve
competitiveness
 
  . Increased familiarity with and maturing of PDM technology, leading to
broader market acceptance
 
  . Increased number of successful PDM implementations
 
  IBM has participated in this market growth with the success of
ProductManager Version 3.0. In an attempt to accelerate the growth of its
software revenues, IBM has established relationships with independent software
services companies, such as ICI, to supplement its own skills in providing
customers with implementation and customization services. The ability to
deliver these services effectively is one of the most important factors in a
successful PDM project. ICI intends to capitalize on its relationship with
IBM, which dates back to 1993, to continue to capture a substantial portion of
these services revenues.
 
  Major PDM vendors have focused attention and resources in the first three
PDM application areas: Document Management, Workflow, and Product Structure
Management. This has created an opportunity to supply the fourth application
of PDM: Information Classification and Management (ICAM). Presently, it is
believed that there are only two companies, Aspect Development, Inc. and
CADIS, Inc., with broad market exposure that offer ICAM products and services
to satisfy this market need. See "Competition, Dependence on Relationships
with Complementary Vendors," and "Risk Factors--Introduction of New Product;
Change of Business Focus." Management believes that the market for PDM, and
specifically ICAM software, is experiencing substantial growth worldwide.
Expertise in PDM software technology, combined with the introduction of
ItemQuest for information classification and management, has positioned ICI to
take advantage of this market growth.
 
  MARKET SEGMENTS. The industry view of PDM and ICAM systems falls into
traditional lines of segmentation. To date, the discrete manufacturing
segments of aerospace, automotive and electronics have led in implementation
of PDM systems. Opportunity also exists in other discrete segments, process
industries and utilities. ICI expects to continue to derive revenues from
providing services to users of PDM systems in all industry segments and
intends to market ItemQuest to all industry segments. See "Risk Factors--
Introduction of New Product; Change of Business Focus."
 
  ICI MARKET POSITION. Management believes ICI's current market position as a
services provider for IBM's ProductManager provides a strong base to launch
ItemQuest. The synergy between the services the Company provides and the
ItemQuest product, and the opportunity to use ICI's skills across these two
areas of business, are expected to be significant factors in ICI's future
growth. In combining these skills and experience,
 
                                      25

Management believes that ICI offers a unique set of capabilities to help
manufacturing companies improve their competitiveness through the application
of ICAM and PDM technology to their business. However, ICI's current close
relationship to, and reliance on IBM creates certain risks. See "Risk Factors--
Reliance on IBM; Lack of Visibility in the Market."
 
ITEMQUEST SOLUTION
 
  ITEMQUEST FEATURES. Management believes that the information classification
and management capabilities of ItemQuest provide a solution to one of the most
costly problems of manufacturing and engineering industries--how to quickly and
reliably identify, classify and retrieve existing data for re-use throughout
the enterprise. Management also believes that ItemQuest is based on the PDM
industry's most sophisticated search and classification engine for parts,
assemblies, documents, drawings and other relevant items. This, combined with
ItemQuest's power and flexibility, allows ItemQuest to serve as a complete
classification and management system. In a manufacturing enterprise, ItemQuest
provides quick access to data by classifying it in terms of recognizable
attributes. Such classification enables the data to be retrieved with speed and
effectiveness, thereby decreasing a new product's time to market and increasing
the Company's competitiveness.
 
  ItemQuest is an object-oriented search and classification system that is
structured using a three-tiered client/server architecture, consisting of an
application layer, a data layer and a presentation layer. ItemQuest allows for
any combination of these tiers to coexist on a single machine or across
multiple machines. This allows for a scalable implementation, permitting the
use of additional and more powerful hardware to cope with increasing numbers of
users.
 
 
 
[CHART DEPICTING ITEMQUEST THREE-TIERED CLIENT-SERVER ARCHITECTURE APPEARS HERE]
 
 
  ItemQuest provides an intuitive process for describing an item using a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) that does not require a user to have special
computer expertise. The user interface is cross-platform, allowing it to run on
most of the popular client operating systems. The data server is database
independent to allow the application direct access to almost any database that
can be accessed with Structured Query Language (SQL). Server objects in both
the application server and database server have CORBA compliant interfaces to
allow for easy integration and maximum flexibility and scalability at customer
sites.
 
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
  Item attributes used within ItemQuest can be any of the basic types: numeric,
character, boolean or string. ItemQuest also supports user defined types,
called extended types, which allow the definition of functional routines to
manipulate the data when it is retrieved and stored.
 
In addition to the search and classification capabilities that are available in
other classification systems, ItemQuest provides the following capabilities
that are expected to position it favorably in the market:
 
 [ ]INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURE STRATEGY. ItemQuest is designed to be integrated
    with other product offerings. This does not preclude it from being
    packaged as a stand-alone system, but does offer a product that is
    generally suited to be licensed by vendors of PDM or similar systems.
    Management anticipates that these vendors would be interested in
    licensing ItemQuest because it would enable them to provide more robust
    and competitive functionality within their product offerings. Management
    believes that this opportunity is not currently being adequately
    addressed in the market by other providers of ICAM systems.
 
 [ ]DATABASE INDEPENDENCE. ItemQuest is developed with a database
    independence layer that supports different Relational Database Management
    Systems. According to a report prepared by CIMdata, this level of support
    is more effective than other currently available systems. In addition,
    ItemQuest is capable of maintaining multiple simultaneous connections to
    different databases. These capabilities enhance ItemQuest's flexibility
    and ease of implementation into an organization's existing information
    technology environment.
 
 [ ]ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ACCESS TO LEGACY SYSTEMS. ItemQuest allows on-line
    connection and mapping to legacy systems during the initial
    implementation and loading of ItemQuest. In addition, ItemQuest has the
    capability of maintaining this on-line link to existing data systems of
    the enterprise. Management believes this capability distinguishes
    ItemQuest from its competitors because it allows data to be retrieved
    from the enterprise's existing database using ad-hoc queries rather than
    requiring costly bulk loading of all legacy data and the subsequent data
    clean-up that is often required in connection with such bulk loading
    activities. As a result, the enterprise is able to implement the data
    classification and retrieval system immediately and bulk load the legacy
    data and new data to a single system at a subsequent time.
 
 [ ]PRODUCTMANAGER INTEGRATION. ItemQuest has been integrated with the
    current version of ProductManager. This illustrates ItemQuest's ability
    to be integrated and licensed for classification, search and retrieval
    functions within a PDM system. Management believes that currently no
    other information classification and management system has achieved this
    degree of integration with ProductManager.
 
 [ ]BUILT-IN TOOL APPROACH FOR IMPLEMENTATION. ItemQuest offers the basic
    built-in tools and capabilities required to implement the system at a
    customer site. This eliminates the need for the customer to purchase
    basic implementation tools from the vendor. It is expected that this will
    reduce the initial implementation costs and total cost of ownership of
    ItemQuest. Management believes that currently most vendors do not
    routinely provide these tools directly to their customers.
 
 [ ]MAINSTREAM TECHNOLOGY. ItemQuest employs mainstream technologies,
    including multiple platform client support, CORBA (Common Object Request
    Broker Architecture), C++, three-tiered client-server architecture,
    Windows NT and UNIX, as well as a defined Web strategy. This is
    consistent with customer's strategies for new technology acquisitions.
    Use of mainstream technology decreases the likelihood of the technology
    becoming rapidly outdated and enables ItemQuest to easily integrate with
    other software products.

      [CHART DEPICTING ITEMQUEST CLIENT/SERVER ENVIRONMENT APPEARS HERE]
 
 
 
  ITEMQUEST BENEFITS. Implementation of ItemQuest for information
classification and management applications will provide benefits to
manufacturing and engineering companies that will contribute to the achievement
of the following goals, leading to improved competitiveness:
 
 [ ]BRING PRODUCTS TO MARKET FASTER. ItemQuest's easy to use system helps
    improve productivity of design engineers, allowing a more rapid design
    process. Also, re-use of existing parts minimizes the need to develop new
    parts, significantly cutting product cycle time and time to market.
 
 [ ]LOWER COSTS. ItemQuest enables manufacturers to generate savings through
    improvements in productivity and improved return on investment in
    existing parts, by extending the useful life of existing parts. ItemQuest
    also helps companies avoid costly development of new parts when
    inventoried parts may be used.
 
 [ ]HIGHER LEVELS OF QUALITY. Re-use of parts capitalizes on proven
    reliability and experience in the market. This in turn takes advantage of
    maintenance and support systems already in place for current parts and
    designs.
 
ICI SERVICES
 
  PDM-RELATED SERVICES. ICI currently offers a range of implementation and
programming services that capitalize on its PDM industry knowledge and
expertise in object oriented, cross-platform and client/server application
development. Implementation support and customization services for IBM's
ProductManager are delivered by ICI on a subcontract basis through IBM, as well
as on a direct contract basis with ProductManager customers. Currently, a
substantial number of Company employees work under an ICI contract with IBM
Charlotte and provide a wide range of services to IBM and its customers,
including:
 
  [ ] Program development
  [ ] Defect support
  [ ] Implementation
  [ ] Customization
  [ ] Integration
 
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
 
  A significant portion of a PDM solution is the implementation services that
apply PDM technology to a company's specific business. With its intimate
knowledge of PDM systems, ICI is well positioned to provide the following PDM
services:
 
    . Project management
    . Installation
    . Workshops
    . Solution architecture
    . Customization
    . Integration
 
  CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT. Apart from its ICAM and PDM-related services, ICI offers
programming skills to companies whose business needs require a custom
development solution. Currently, ICI is providing development services for
Eastman Kodak Company. The resulting product is expected to provide
significant productivity enhancements for laboratory personnel, and in turn
produce reduction in research and development cycle times and improvement in
manufacturing effectiveness.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
  SERVICES. For 1996 the Company's largest customers were IBM, Eastman Kodak
Company, Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney and Space Systems/Loral. The
Company's revenues in any period are substantially dependent upon a relatively
small number of large projects and this trend is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future. In 1994, services to IBM for development and
implementation work and to Kodak for custom development work accounted for 65%
and 10%, respectively, of total revenue. In 1995, services to IBM and Lockheed
Martin accounted for 81% and 4%, respectively, of total revenues. In 1996,
sales and services to IBM, Kodak and Pratt & Whitney accounted for 70%, 13%
and 8%, respectively, of total revenues. The 70% revenues received from IBM in
1996 consisted 56.9% from IBM United States (primarily under subcontracts for
a variety of IBM customers), 5.8% from IBM Italy, 0.3% from IBM England, 3.4%
from IBM Korea and 0.8% from IBM Japan. In 1994, 1995 and 1996, ICI had
approximately 10, 10 and 15 direct customers, respectively.
 
  ITEMQUEST. ICI has entered into agreements with three customers, Space
Systems/Loral, SPS Technologies and Black & Decker for the ItemQuest
controlled availability program. These companies are manufacturers embarking
on PDM implementations and focusing within their engineering divisions on
consolidation of standard parts and re-use of existing parts. ICI's strategy
in the controlled availability program is to work closely with these companies
in order to validate ItemQuest's function and establish an implementation
methodology.
 
  Once released in the general marketplace, the Company will provide ItemQuest
to customers under standard non-exclusive, non-transferable license
agreements. As is customary in the software industry, in order to protect its
intellectual property rights, the Company will not sell or transfer title to
its products to its customers. The Company's standard license agreement will
provide that the licensed software may be used solely for the customer's
internal operations.
 
  Although Management expects that ItemQuest will be well received, there can
be no assurance that this will be the case or that the controlled availability
program will meet its objectives. See "Risk Factors--Introduction of New
Product; Change of Business Focus."
 
COMPETITION
 
  In the information classification and management market, ICI currently faces
competition principally from Aspect Development, Inc. and CADIS, Inc. These
two companies have targeted their solutions mainly to the engineering and
manufacturing industries.
 
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
  ASPECT DEVELOPMENT, INC. Aspect Development is a publicly-owned, worldwide
provider of enterprise-wide component and supplier management (CSM) systems for
preferred parts and supplier management, parts selection, and design re-use.
Aspect's customers include 50 of the world's leading electronics and mechanical
manufacturing companies.
 
  CADIS, INC. CADIS is a privately owned software and services company that
provides new technology solutions for information access. CADIS provides multi-
national manufacturing corporations the opportunity to achieve substantial cost
savings through the elimination of part redundancy and standardization of new
parts using the CADIS parts management system. The parts management system
addresses the problem of controlling parts and vendor proliferation across the
enterprise through the implementation and application of its technology and
services.
 
  MANAGEMENT EVALUATION. As summarized in "ItemQuest Solution," above,
Management believes, based on its own comparative analysis and based on
CIMdata's review, that ItemQuest can compete favorably with the products
offered by Aspect and CADIS. See "Risk Factors--Introduction of New Product;
Change of Business Focus" and "--Competition."
 
MARKETING STRATEGY
 
  GENERAL. ICI's marketing strategy is to promote and convey the message that
ICI's services and ItemQuest will help manufacturing companies improve
competitiveness by reducing time to market, reducing costs and improving
quality. Sales of ICI services will be based upon continued and expanded
promotion of ICI's established skills and customer reputation and in
conjunction with ItemQuest. Management believes that ItemQuest sales will be
driven by the following fundamentals:
 
[ ] The integration between ItemQuest and IBM ProductManager is currently a
    strong differentiator, creating significant opportunity in the existing
    ProductManager installed base, as well as highlighting integration
    potential with other PDM vendors.
 
[ ] Manufacturing companies will continue to invest in PDM technology to
    improve competitiveness due to the significant return on investment
    generated by such investment.
 
[ ] Implementation services capability is critical if a PDM project is to be
    successful. Management believes that this capability currently is in
    short supply. Management believes that ICI is a leader in PDM
    implementation services for ProductManager and will continue to build on
    that capability.
 
[ ] Opportunities for information classification and management solutions
    continue to grow. The number of offerings on the market is limited and
    expensive, ranging from $50,000 to several million dollars. In spite of
    the high cost, Management believes that prospective customers will
    realize that an effective ICAM solution can deliver an attractive return
    on investment due to the high proportion of new product cost comprised of
    part and component costs.
 
  Initially, the Company intends to market and sell its products and services
primarily through a direct sales force hired using a portion of the proceeds
raised in this Offering, as well as through strategic relationships and other
distribution channels.
 
  However, with the anticipated broader introduction of ItemQuest, the Company
intends to establish sales channels either through relationships it has
developed with its customers or through its own direct resources to establish
marketing, selling and consulting relationships both domestically and
internationally. In addition, the Company intends to use its relationships with
hardware and software vendors and systems consultants to encourage these
parties to recommend or distribute the Company's products. To support its sales
force, the Company intends to conduct a number of marketing programs, including
public relations, telemarketing, seminars, trade shows and user groups.
 
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's marketing strategy contains several assumptions, including but
not limited to its ability to successfully introduce ItemQuest within the PDM
marketplace. There can be no assurance that this will occur on a timely basis,
if at all. See "Risk Factors--Introduction of New Product; Change of Business
Focus."
 
  In general, pricing for ItemQuest will follow the industry standard of a one-
time charge for each concurrent user license. In addition, there will be a
monthly maintenance charge for each license. Site licenses will be available on
a special bid basis giving unrestricted use at a given company site. Volume
purchase discounts for both ItemQuest and services will be offered on a special
bid basis as well. ItemQuest pricing strategy will focus on capturing market
share and establishing a solid base of customer references.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
  The Company has committed, and expects to continue to commit in the future,
substantial resources to product development, particularly to ItemQuest. During
1995 and 1996, ICI's investment in ItemQuest was approximately $111,000 and
$280,000, respectively. Research and development efforts are directed at
increasing product functionality, improving product performance and expanding
compatibility with third party software. The Company's investment in the
research and development of ItemQuest represented a significant percentage of
its operating costs during 1995 and 1996.
 
  The Company intends to supplement its product development efforts by
reviewing customer feedback on ItemQuest and working with customers and
potential customers to anticipate future functionality requirements. To assist
in this effort, the Company intends to host a customer advisory board made up
of representatives from key customers who would meet periodically to provide
feedback to the Company's current and future product offerings.
 
  The Company's future success will depend in part upon its ability to enhance
its current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely
basis that keep pace with technological developments, emerging industry
standards and the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers. If the
Company is unable, however, for technological or other reasons, to develop and
introduce new products or enhancements, the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. See
"Risk Factors--Product Life Cycle; Need to Develop New Products and
Enhancements."
 
  In addition, products as complex as ItemQuest frequently contain undetected
errors or failures when first introduced or when new versions are released. The
Company may discover errors in certain of its products and enhancements, both
before and after initial shipments, which may lead to delays or lost revenues
during the period required to correct these errors. See "Risk Factors--Risk of
Product Defects."
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed 35 persons, of whom 13 were
based in Charlotte, North Carolina and 22 were based in Atlanta, Georgia. Of
the total, 3 were engaged in sales and marketing, 30 were primarily in product
development and software services and 2 were primarily in finance and
administration. No current employee of the Company is represented by a labor
union with respect to his or her employment by the Company. The Company has
experienced no organized work stoppage and believes its relationship with its
employees to be good. The Company believes that its future success will depend
to a significant extent upon its ability to attract, train and retain highly
skilled technical, management, sales, marketing and consulting personnel.
Competition for such personnel in the computer software industry is intense.
The Company has from time to time experienced difficulty in locating candidates
with appropriate qualifications. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in attracting or retaining such personnel, and the failure
to attract or retain such personnel could have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business or results of operations. See "Risk Factors--Management of
Expanding Operations" and "--Dependence on Key Personnel."

<PAGE>
 
FACILITIES
 
  The Company's principal administrative, sales, marketing, support and
software research and development facility is located in approximately 4,500
square feet of leased space in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company also subleases a
1700-square-foot office outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. The terms of
those leases expire in March 1997 and May 2000, respectively. The Company
currently is exploring other potential locations for both offices, as its
current office space in each location is not expected to be large enough to
accommodate expected growth in personnel and equipment. The Company believes
that, should the need arise, suitable additional or alternative space will be
available in the future on commercially reasonable terms.
 
  The Company currently owns no real estate or real estate investments and has
no plans to acquire any real estate or investments in real estate.

years of service.
 
  None of the officers of the Company have entered into employment contracts
with the Company covering employment compensation terms other than current
salaries and standard employee benefits.
 
CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
 
  As of February 7, 1997, the Company has granted options to purchase an
aggregate of 336,511 shares of Common Stock to employees of the Company
pursuant to the Company's employee stock option plans. The agreements for
these options provide that the options vest over a four-year period beginning
on the date the option was granted. In the event that the Company is acquired
by another entity, or other events occur that meet the definition of a change
of control or threatened change of control in the option agreement, the
vesting of the options accelerates prior to that event.
 
STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
  The Board of Directors has reserved a total of 500,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996
Option Plan") and the Company's 1995 Restricted Nonqualified Incentive Stock
Option Plan (the "1995 Option Plan"), which has been terminated. At February
7, 1997, 336,511 shares of Common Stock were subject to outstanding options at
a weighted average exercise price of $2.61 per share. Of the 500,000 total
authorized shares, 163,489 shares remain available for future grant under the
1996 Option Plan, which was adopted effective December 20, 1996. Options may
be granted to employees (including officers), consultants, advisors and
directors, although only employees and directors and officers who are also
employees may receive "incentive stock options" intended to qualify for
certain tax treatment. The exercise price of incentive stock options must be
no less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
The exercise price of nonqualified stock options is not subject to any
limitation. Options granted under the Option Plans generally vest over a four-
year period and have a term of ten years.
 
  The 1996 Option Plan provides for the automatic grant of stock options to
directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any parent or
subsidiary corporation of the Company ("Outside Directors"). Under the 1996
Option Plan, each Outside Director (of which there are none as of the date of
this Prospectus) will be granted, automatically on the effective date of his
or her election to the Board, an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common
Stock, and an additional option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on
each subsequent anniversary of that date. The exercise price of each such
option will equal the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
grant, and the term of each option will be ten years.
 
  Options granted under the 1996 Option Plan are nontransferable. Options
generally are exercisable only while the option holder remains employed or
otherwise affiliated with the Company, and for a limited period of time after
termination of employment or affiliation. Options held by Messrs. Giarratana,
Friedman and Peter Jeng also contain a provision restricting them from selling
shares acquired upon exercise of those options for a period of one year
following the closing date of this Offering.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
  Directors of the Company currently do not receive any payment for services
provided as a director. On an annual basis, directors who are not employees of
the Company will receive grants of options to purchase the
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
Company's Common Stock, as described in "Stock Option Plans," above. The
Company currently does not pay additional amounts for committee participation
or special assignments of the Board of Directors.
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY/INDEMNIFICATION
 
  The Company's Articles of Incorporation contain certain provisions permitted
under the Georgia Business Corporation Code ("GBCC") which eliminate the
personal liability of directors for monetary damages for a breach of director's
duty of care or other duty as a director, except for: (i) breach of a
director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the unlawful payment of
dividends, stock purchase or stock redemption, or (iv) any transaction from
which the director derives any improper personal benefit. The Articles of
Incorporation provide that a director's liability shall be eliminated or
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GBCC, as amended from time to
time. The Articles of Incorporation and the Company's By-laws also contain
provisions indemnifying the Company's directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the GBCC. The Company has also entered into agreements to
indemnify its directors and executive officers. A copy of the form of such
indemnification agreement has been attached as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The Company believes that these
provisions and agreements will assist the Company in attracting and retaining
qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or others pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
  Since January 1, 1995, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed,
any transaction or series of similar transactions to which the Company was or
is to be a party in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 and in which any
director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of the Common Stock of
the Company had or will have a direct or indirect material interest other than
the transactions described below.
 
  On two occasions since January 1, 1995, the Company has borrowed funds from
its stockholders for working capital purposes. In each case the Company paid no
interest to the stockholders and the loans were repaid on or before schedule.
The maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time since January 1, 1995
under these funding programs was $178,706.
 
  The Board of Directors has indicated its intention to distribute to its
current Stockholders, effective the day immediately preceding the date of the
closing of this Offering, an amount equal to the accumulated undistributed S
corporation earnings of ICI as of that date. It is anticipated that the
distribution will be in the amount of approximately $1,830,000, to be effected
in the form of an assignment of all accounts receivable as of that date and the
balance in cash, a portion of which is expected to be paid out of the proceeds
of this Offering. See "Prior S Corporation Status and Distributions."
Purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering will not receive any of this final
distribution.
 
  The Company believes that all transactions with affiliates described above
were made or will be made on terms no less favorable to the Company than could
have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

  Each of the stockholders of the Company has granted to the holders of Senior
Debentures warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, aggregating up to
250,000 shares. The number of shares subject to the warrants will be based
upon the $1,115,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debentures,
divided by the initial public offering price of the Common Stock offered and
sold in this Offering. The warrant exercise price will be 60% of the initial
public offering price. Based upon the $9.00 anticipated initial public
offering price, a total of 123,889 shares of Common Stock may be purchased
from the current stockholders at $5.40 per share. These warrants will be
exercisable commencing six months after the date of this Prospectus,
continuing through January 17, 2000. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

stockholders is as follows:

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of
a single class of Common Stock with a par value of $.001 per share. The
following summary of certain provisions of the Common Stock of the Company
does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its
entirety by, the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, which
are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part, and by the provisions of applicable law.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  As of December 31, 1996, there were 2,125,000 shares of Common Stock
outstanding and held of record by five stockholders. The holders of Common
Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter
voted on at a stockholders' meeting and are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in
all assets remaining after payment of any outstanding indebtedness. Holders of
Common Stock have no preemptive or subscription rights, and there are no
redemption or conversion rights with respect to such shares. All outstanding
shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon completion of this Offering will be fully paid
and nonassessable.
 
OPTIONS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
 
  As described in "Management--Stock Option Plans," the Company has reserved
an aggregate of 500,000 shares for issuance pursuant to the 1996 Option Plan
and the 1995 Option Plan. Of these shares, 336,511 were
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
subject to outstanding options on February 7, 1997 and the remaining 163,489
shares are available for future option grants under the 1996 Option Plan.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
  In connection with the sale of the Senior Debentures by the Company in
January 1997, the stockholders of the Company granted to the purchasers of the
Senior Debentures warrants to purchase Common Stock from those stockholders
(the "Debenture Holder Warrants"), exercisable until January 2000, commencing
after the closing of this Offering, subject to certain restrictions. The
holders of the Debenture Holder Warrants will have certain rights to register
under the Securities Act shares of Common Stock that may be transferred to
them upon exercise of the Debenture Holder Warrants. If the Company registers
any of its Common Stock either for its own account or for the account of other
security holders, the holders of such Common Stock are entitled to include
those shares of Common Stock in the registration, subject to the ability of
the underwriters to limit the number of shares included in this Offering. All
fees, costs and expenses of such registrations (other than underwriting
discounts and commissions) will be borne by the Company. See "Shares Eligible
for Future Sale."
 
  Upon completion of this Offering, the firm of H. J. Meyers & Co., Inc., as
Representative of the Underwriters (the "Representative"), will receive
warrants (the "Representative's Warrants") to acquire up to 112,500 shares of
Common Stock. See "Underwriting" for a description of the registration rights
associated with the Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the
Representative's Warrants.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
  The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is
                       .
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for shares of Common
Stock of the Company. Future sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in
the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to
time. See "Risk Factors--No Prior Market; Possible Volatility."
 
  Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have outstanding
approximately 3,250,000 shares of Common Stock, assuming the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is not exercised. Of these shares, the 1,125,000 shares
sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the
Securities Act, unless purchased by "affiliates" of the Company as that term
is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining 2,125,000
shares of Common Stock will be held by the five existing stockholders of the
Company and were issued and sold by the Company in reliance on exemptions from
registration requirements of the Securities Act. These shares may be sold in
the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from
registration such as Rule 144 or 144(k) under the Securities Act. The
Company's current stockholders, who following this Offering together will own
an aggregate of 2,125,000 shares of the Common Stock, have executed lockup
agreements with the Underwriters providing that they will not directly or
indirectly sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company until one year after the
effective date of this Offering. The Representative may, in its sole
discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the
securities subject to lockup agreements. Further, stock option agreements held
by Messrs. Giarratana, Friedman and Jeng contain a provision restricting them
from selling shares that they may acquire upon exercise of such options for a
period of one year from the date this Offering is closed.
 
  As a result of the foregoing agreements, only the 1,125,000 shares of Common
Stock being offered hereby will be eligible for resale without restriction on
the effective date of this Offering. The remaining outstanding shares will be
eligible for resale, pursuant to Rule 144, beginning one year after the
effective date of this Offering.
 
  In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated)
who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least two
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
years (including the holding period of any prior owner except an affiliate) is
entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does
not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding (which will equal approximately 32,500 shares
immediately after this Offering) or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of
the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the
Form 144 with respect to such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to
certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the
availability of current public information about the Company. Under Rule
144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at
any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned
the shares to be sold for at least three years (including the holding period
of any prior owner except an affiliate), is entitled to sell such shares
without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume
limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
 
  Shortly after this Offering, the Company intends to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering shares of Common Stock subject to
outstanding options under the 1995 and 1996 Option Plans of the Company or
reserved for issuance under future options granted under the 1996 Option Plan.
As of February 7, 1997, there were outstanding options to purchase 334,513
shares under these option plans. Based upon the number of shares subject to
outstanding options at February 7, 1997 and reserved for future issuance under
the 1996 Option Plan, such registration would cover 500,000 shares. This
registration statement will automatically become effective upon filing.
Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will, subject
to Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to affiliates of the Company, be
available for sale in the open market immediately following the expiration of
any applicable lockup agreements. See "Management--Stock Option Plans."
 
  As described in "Underwriting" below, the Company will issue to the
Representative warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of Common Stock at $10.80
per share (120% of the initial public offering price), exercisable 12 months
after the date of this Prospectus. See "Underwriting" for a description of
registration rights that the Representative will receive in connection with
the Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Representative's
Warrants.
 
  The Company has included within the Registration Statement for this Offering
123,889 shares of Common Stock that may be transferred by the current
stockholders of the Company to purchasers of the Senior Debentures, in the
event the purchasers of the Senior Debentures exercise the Debenture Holder
Warrants, as described in "Description of Capital Stock--Registration Rights."
The Company has agreed with the holders of the Debenture Holder Warrants to
register such shares of Common Stock and maintain the effectiveness of that
registration for a period of at least 30 days following the effective date of
this Offering. Accordingly, to the extent holders of the Debenture Holder
Warrants exercise those Warrants within such 30-day period, the Common Stock
that they receive will not be restricted stock. Those holders have agreed with
the Company that they will not resell any Common Stock purchased pursuant to
the Debenture Holder Warrants until after the 12-month period following the
effective date of this Offering. At that time, to the extent such shares of
Common Stock are not restricted shares, they will be freely tradeable on the
market. If they are restricted shares, they may be sold only after the two-
year holding period under Rule 144, or pursuant to the registration rights
described in "Description of Capital Stock--Registration Rights."

Underwriters named below (the "Underwriters"), through their Representative,
H. J.Meyers & Co., Inc., have severally agreed to purchase from the Company,

  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriters will
purchase all shares of Common Stock offered hereby if any such shares are
purchased.
 
  The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the
shares of Common Stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on
the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers who are members of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. at such price less a
concession not in excess of $           per share. The Underwriters may allow,
and such dealers may re-allow, a concession not in excess of $             per
share to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering contemplated
hereby, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the
Underwriters.
 
  The Company and the Selling Stockholders have granted the Underwriters an
over-allotment option, exercisable not later than 30 days after the date of
this Prospectus, to purchase up to 168,750 additional shares of Common Stock
at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. Fifty percent of such shares
will be sold by the Company and 50% of such shares will be sold by the Selling
Stockholders. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each
of the Underwriters will have a firm commitment to purchase the same
percentage thereof that the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased
by it shown in the above table bears to 1,125,000, and the Company and the
Selling Stockholders will be obligated, pursuant to such option, to sell such
shares to the Underwriters. The Underwriters may exercise such option only to
cover over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Common Stock
offered hereby. If purchased, the Underwriters will offer such additional
shares on the same terms as those on which the 1,125,000 shares are being
offered.
 
  The Company has agreed to pay to the Representative a non-accountable
expense allowance equal to 2% of the total proceeds of this Offering, or
$202,500 (and 2% of the total proceeds from the sale of any shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option, or $232,875 if
the Underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full). In addition to
the Underwriters' commissions and the Representative's expense allowance, the
Company is required to pay the costs of qualifying the shares of Common Stock
under federal and state securities laws, together with legal and accounting
fees, printing and other costs in connection with this Offering.
 
  At the closing of this Offering, the Company will issue to the
Representative, for nominal consideration, the Representative's Warrants to
purchase up to 112,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The shares of
Common Stock subject to the Representative's Warrants are identical to the
shares of Common Stock sold to the public, except for the purchase price and
certain registration rights. The Representative's Warrants will be exercisable
for a four-year period commencing one year from the date of this Prospectus,
at an exercise price of $10.80 per share of Common Stock (that being 120% of
the assumed initial public offering price per share of Common Stock). The
Representative's Warrants will not be transferable prior to their initial
exercise date except to successors in interest to the Representative and
directors and officers of the Representative.
 
                                      40
<PAGE>
 
  The Representative's Warrants will contain anti-dilution provisions providing
for appropriate adjustment in the event of any recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or similar transactions. The
Representative's Warrants will not entitle the Representative to any rights as
a stockholder of the Company until such warrants are executed and the shares of
Common Stock are purchased thereunder.
 
  The Representative's Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable
thereunder may not be offered for sale to the public except in compliance with
the applicable provisions of the Securities Act. The Company has agreed that if
it causes a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part, or a new registration statement or offering
statement under Regulation A, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Representative shall have the right during the life of the
Representative's Warrants to include therein for registration the
Representative's Warrants and/or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon their
exercise at no expense to the Representative (other than the proportional share
of underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses). Additionally, the
Company has agreed that, upon demand by the holder(s) of at least 50% of the
(i) total unexercised Representative's Warrants and (ii) shares of Common Stock
issued upon the exercise of the Representative's Warrants, made on no more than
two separate occasions during the exercise period of the Representative's
Warrants, the Company shall use its best efforts to register the
Representative's Warrants and/or any of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise thereof, provided that the Company has available current
financial statements, the initial such registration to be at the Company's
expense (other than the proportional share of underwriting discounts,
commissions and related expenses) and the second at the expense of the
holder(s).
 
  For the period during which the Representative's Warrants are exercisable,
the holder(s) will have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market
value of the Company's Common Stock, with a resulting dilution in the interests
of the other stockholders of the Company. The holder(s) of the Representative's
Warrants can be expected to exercise the warrants at a time when the Company
would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital from an offering
of its unissued Common Stock on terms more favorable to the Company than those
provided for in the Representative's Warrants. Such facts may materially
adversely affect the terms on which the Company can obtain additional
financing. To the extent that the Representative realizes any gain from the
resale of the Representative's Warrants or the shares of Common Stock issuable
thereunder, such gain may be deemed additional underwriting compensation under
the Securities Act.
 
  Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the
Representative of the Underwriters, the Company has agreed that for a period of
three years after this Offering an individual to be designated by the
Representative will be entitled to attend meetings of the Board of Directors of
the Company in the capacity of unofficial observer. If a designee of the
Representative is elected to the Board of Directors, this observer requirement
will be deemed to be satisfied. The Representative has not yet identified the
individual to be so designated.
 
  The Underwriting Agreement provides for reciprocal indemnification between
the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
  The Representative of the Underwriters has advised the Company that the
Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any account over which they
exercise discretionary authority.
 
  The Company and all of its current stockholders have agreed that for a period
of one year from the date of this Prospectus, each of them will not, without
the prior written consent of the Representative of the Underwriters, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or
otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any options, warrants or
other rights with respect to any Common Stock, subject to certain limited
exceptions (including the issuance of shares by the Company in connection with
an acquisition). The Company also has agreed that for a period of 24 months
from the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not sell or issue any
securities pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act without the
Representative's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
of the Company. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the Common
Stock was determined through negotiations among the Company, representatives of
the Selling Stockholders and the Representative of the Underwriters. Among the
factors considered in such negotiations were history of and the prospects for
the industry in which the Company competes, the prevailing securities market
conditions, the price-earnings ratios of publicly traded companies that the
Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Representative of the Underwriters
believed to be comparable to the Company, the ability of the Company's
management, revenues and earnings of the Company in recent periods, estimates
of the business potential of the Company and the present state of the Company's
business operations.
 
  The Company has agreed that it will engage a public relations firm acceptable
to the Representative and the Company. The Company also has agreed to maintain
a relationship with such public relations firm for a minimum period of two
years and on such other terms as are acceptable to the Representative.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon
for the Company and the stockholders by Gambrell & Stolz, L.L.P., Atlanta,
Georgia. Harter, Secrest & Emery, Rochester, New York, is acting as counsel for
the Underwriters in connection with certain legal matters relating to the sale
of the Common Stock offered hereby.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------



  To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
     International CompuTex, Inc.



  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of INTERNATIONAL COMPUTEX,
  INC. [an S corporation] as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
  statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
  years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.  These financial statements are
  the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
  express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
  all material respects, the financial position of INTERNATIONAL COMPUTEX, INC.
  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its
  cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 in conformity
  with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    ------------------------------------------ 

    General:
    ------- 

    INTERNATIONAL COMPUTEX, INC., a Georgia corporation, was formed for the
    purpose of development and sale of computer software and computer consulting
    services.

    Revenue Recognition:
    ------------------- 

    Revenue consists primarily of computer consulting services.  Revenue is
    primarily recognized as the services are performed and invoiced.

    Property and Equipment:
    ---------------------- 

    Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
    repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that
    materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The cost of assets
    sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for
    depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or
    loss is recognized.

    Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
    useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:

            Leasehold improvements                        5 years
            Computer equipment                            5 years
            Business office equipment                     5 years
            Vehicle                                       5 years

    Other Assets:
    ------------ 

    Organization costs are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line
    basis over a five-year period.

    Income Taxes:
    ------------ 

    The Company had elected to be treated as an S Corporation pursuant to the
    Internal Revenue Code for federal and state income tax purposes. The income
    of an S Corporation is taxable to the individual stockholders. Such income
    is distributable to the stockholders without any further tax consequences.
    The stockholders will revoke the S Corporation status immediately prior to
    the closing of the proposed public offering, and the Company will be taxable
    as a C corporation from that date forward. The Company will account for
    income taxes using the liability method and will accrue deferred tax assets
    and liabilities for differences in the timing of income and expense items
    between financial statement and tax return reporting.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED]



A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: [Continued]
    ------------------------------------------             

    Income Taxes:  [Continued]
    ------------              

    A pro forma provision for income taxes has been presented which represents
    income taxes which would have been provided had the Company operated as a C
    Corporation.

    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 certain assets, liabilities,
    and disclosures. Accordingly, the actual amounts could differ from those
    estimates. Any adjustments applied to estimated amounts are recognized in
    the year in which such adjustments are determined.

    Pro Forma Earnings Per Share:
    ---------------------------- 

    Pro forma earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number
    of shares outstanding during the period including common stock equivalents
    which are accounted for using the treasury stock method. Common stock
    equivalents granted by the Company at a price below the proposed public
    offering price per common share have been included in the common shares
    outstanding as if they were outstanding for all periods presented using the
    treasury stock method, and the proposed public offering price, anticipated
    at a range of $8 to $10 per share.
 
    Historical earnings per share data has not been presented.

    Financial Instruments:
    --------------------- 

    The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximates
    fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. For
    other debt instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value based on
    stated interest rates.
 
    Software Development Costs:
    -------------------------- 

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
    "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
    Otherwise Marketed," initial costs are charged to operations as research
    prior to the development of a detailed program design or a working model.
    Thereafter, the Company capitalizes the direct costs and allocated overhead
    associated with the development of software products. Costs incurred
    subsequent to the product release, and research and development performed
    under contract, are charged to operations.

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: [Continued]
    ------------------------------------------             

    Software Development Costs: [Continued]
    --------------------------             

    Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated product life (seven
    years) on the straight-line basis. Amortization will begin when the product
    is available for general release to customers. Unamortized costs are carried
    at the lower of book value or net realizable value.


B.  CASH - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
    ----------------------------------- 

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company maintained deposits in one institution
    which exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit by
    approximately $600,000. The difference between this amount and the amount of
    cash per the Company's records is primarily due to stockholder distributions
    paid in December 1996 that were outstanding as of December 31, 1996.

C.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET:
    --------------------------- 

    Property and equipment consist of the following:

F.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
    ---------------------- 

    Effective July 1, 1995, the Company adopted a qualified deferred
    compensation plan, under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under
    the plan, employees may elect to defer up to fifteen percent (15%) of their
    salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. The Company contributes
    a matching fifty percent (50%) of the first five percent (5%) of employee
    contributions. In addition, the plan allows for the Company to make
    discretionary contributions based on the participant's salary. The Company
    made no profit sharing contribution for 1996. The Company contributed
    $29,143 to the Deferred Compensation Plan for 1996.

F.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: [Continued]
    ----------------------             

    The Company adopted the 1995 Restricted Nonqualified Incentive Stock Option
    Plan (the "1995 Plan"), effective August 1, 1995, for officers and key
    employees, which provided for non-qualified stock options. Options to
    purchase 173,311 shares of common stock have been granted at $.543 per share
    and are outstanding under the 1995 Plan.

    The Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan, effective December 20, 1996
    (the "1996 Plan"). Under the 1996 Plan, which provides for issuance of
    either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, the maximum
    number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted is 500,000
    shares reduced by the number of shares outstanding under or issued pursuant
    to stock options granted under the 1995 Plan. As of December 31, 1996, no
    options had been granted under the 1996 Plan. The 1995 Plan was terminated,
    prospectively, effective December 20, 1996.

G.  STOCK SPLITS:
    ------------ 

    Effective January 23, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a 1,000 for 1
    forward stock split of the Company's common stock, to be effected in the
    form of a stock dividend. Effective December 20, 1996, the Board of
    Directors authorized a 2.7597 for 1 forward stock split to be effected in
    the form of a stock dividend. After these splits, a total of 2,125,000
    shares of common stock was issued and outstanding. Retroactive effect has
    been given to these splits.

H.  MAJOR CUSTOMER INFORMATION:
    -------------------------- 

    During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, revenue from one
    major customer totaled approximately $2,740,000, $2,340,000, and $810,000,
    respectively. These amounts accounted for 70%, 81% and 65% of total
    revenues, respectively. The amount due from the customer, included in
    accounts receivable, totaled approximately $600,000 and $703,000 at December
    31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

I.  SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS: [Continued]
    --------------------------             

    In management's opinion, the net realizable value of future sales exceeds
    the carrying value of unamortized software development costs; therefore, no
    adjustment to carrying value is required. Research and development costs for
    1995 and 1994 totaled approximately $111,000 and $13,000, respectively.


J.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
    ----------------- 

    In January, 1997, the Company received proceeds from the sale of Senior
    Debentures in the amount of $1,115,000. Interest accrues at 6% per annum,
    payable semi-annually, and the principal amount is due in January 2000.
    Purchasers of the Senior Debentures received Warrants from the stockholders
    of the Company to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock held by
    these stockholders at an exercise price of 60% of the initial public
    offering price. The Company is required to prepay the Senior Debentures in
    whole, without penalty, if the Company receives at least $5,000,000 gross
    proceeds from a public offering or a private placement of its common stock.
    As part of the issuance of the Senior Debentures, the Company incurred a
    closing cost of approximately $133,000 which has been capitalized and will
    be written off over the life of the loan.

    Subsequent to the sale of the Senior Debentures, the Company was informed
    that as a result of misunderstandings in the placement of the Senior
    Debentures certain inaccurate statements may have been made to purchasers of
    the Senior Debentures regarding their ability to resell the Common Stock
    that could be acquired upon exercise of their Warrants. As a result, the
    Company has made a rescission offer to each purchaser of the Senior
    Debentures. The Company has agreed to include the shares of Common Stock
    that may be purchased under the Warrants in the registration statement for
    an initial public offering of its Common Stock. The Company also has agreed
    to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement with respect to
    those shares of Common Stock for a minimum of 30 days, subject to a one-year
    "lock up" of those shares. After the lock-up period, which extends for one
    year after the effective date of the initial public offering registration
    statement, the shares of Common Stock would be freely tradeable if the
    Warrants are exercised during the period in which the registration statement
    was effective. If the Warrants are exercised after that time, the shares of
    Common Stock received upon exercise of the Warrants would be restricted
    stock, subject to resale under Rule 144 after they have been held for a
    minimum of two years.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
The following discussion gives retroactive effect to the stock splits effected
in March 1996 and December 1996. Commencing January 1, 1994, the Registrant
has sold and issued the following unregistered securities:
 
In January 1997, the Registrant issued Senior Debentures in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,115,000 to 17 individuals, with warrants to purchase up
to 250,000 shares of Common Stock from certain stockholders of the Company.
The placement of Senior Debentures was sold by H. J.Meyers & Co., Inc., which
received for such services an aggregate of 11% of the gross proceeds of that
offering as commissions and nonaccountable expense reimbursement. At the time
this Registration Statement is being filed, the Registrant is preparing to
offer to these investors the right to rescind their investment in Senior
Debentures. The Registrant has determined that it is necessary to make this
rescission offer due to certain misunderstandings that occured in the
placement of the Senior Debentures. These misuderstandings related to the
terms of the warrants, and the resale and registration rights related thereto.
 
In July 1995, pursuant to a nonqualified stock option plan, the Company
granted options to three employees to purchase an aggregate of 140,745 shares
of Common Stock, at $0.543 per share. One of such options, covering 66,233
shares, has subsequently been terminated.
 
                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
  In February 1996, pursuant to that same option plan, the Company granted
options to nine employees to purchase an aggregate of 107,079 shares of Common
Stock, at $0.543 per share. Three of such options, covering 8,280 shares, have
subsequently been terminated.
 
  In January 1997, pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the Company granted
options to 32 employees to purchase an aggregate of 163,200 shares of Common
Stock at $4.80 per share. All of such options remain outstanding.
 
  The above transactions were private transactions not involving a public
offering and were exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof and, in the case of the Senior Debentures, also were exempt under
Section 4(6) of such Act and Rule 506 promulgated under Section 4(2). Except
for the Senior Debentures, the sales of securities were without the use of
selling agent. The certificates evidencing the shares, Senior Debentures and
warrants bear restrictive legends permitting the transfer thereof only upon
registration of the shares or pursuant to an exemption under the Securities
Act.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
 
  (1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
 
    (a) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
        post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
     (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
         Securities 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; and
 
     (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
           plan of distribution;
 
    (b) For determining liability under the Securities 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; and
 
    (c) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
        the securities that remain unsold at the end of this offering.
 
  (2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
  (3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding), is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
