PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Prospectus, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions as they
relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or
implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include those discussed in "Risk Factors."
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and
should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, all information
contained in this Prospectus assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is not exercised and gives effect to the acquisition of Computer
Management Resources, Inc. ("CMR") on July 1, 1997. Unless otherwise
indicated, the terms "Company" and "PRT" refer collectively to PRT Group Inc.
and its subsidiaries.
THE COMPANY
PRT was founded in 1989 to provide information technology ("IT") solutions
and services internationally, primarily to Fortune 500-sized companies. PRT
provides a number of services including Strategic Consulting, Project
Solutions and Staff Augmentation. PRT offers full life cycle solutions,
beginning with the understanding of the client's business issues and
continuing through: (i) problem analysis, (ii) solution architecture and
design, (iii) coding, (iv) testing and (v) ongoing maintenance. This life
cycle approach, supported by strict software engineering principles embodied
in the Company's Process Asset Library ("PAL") software development
framework, a knowledge bank of processes, methodologies, tools and reusable
work product developed by PRT, as well as an internal, independent software
quality assurance function allows the Company to provide high-quality,
effective IT solutions.
Strategic Consulting services include management consulting, strategic IT
planning, emerging technology research, knowledge transfer and "Quality
Journey" strategies and implementations, in which PRT helps clients develop
internal software development quality control mechanisms, processes and
organizational units. Project Solutions services consist of: (i) full life
cycle software development, (ii) hardware and software platform migrations,
in which a client's information systems are moved from obsolete or legacy
hardware or software systems to more efficient and powerful new systems,
(iii) maintenance outsourcing, (iv) Year 2000 and other mass change
renovation and (v) testing services for both mainframe and client/server
environments. Staff Augmentation offers team or individual staffing for a
full spectrum of IT services, ranging from traditional systems analysis
through testing to high value-added IT consulting and project management.
PRT offers its services to clients at their site or off-site. The Company
has offices in Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Virginia. In
addition, the Company has Software Development Centers ("SDCs") in Barbados,
West Indies, and the Hartford, Connecticut area and a recruitment center in
Mumbai, formerly Bombay, India. The Company anticipates opening a third SDC
in Chennai, formerly Madras, India in 1998. SDCs are the key sites where
PRT's Project Solutions are designed, engineered, constructed, tested and
supported in accordance with the PAL software development framework. Each SDC
has a number of project teams dedicated to clients and separate quality
assurance groups to ensure high-quality, cost-effective solutions. The SDCs
have common infrastructure, organizational units and human resource practices
that allow projects and personnel to be shifted among the SDCs to maximize
utilization rates while meeting client requirements.
PRT focuses its marketing efforts on large businesses, primarily Fortune
500-sized companies, with significant IT budgets and recurring software
development and maintenance needs. PRT's client base includes companies
primarily in the financial services, consumer products, communications and
healthcare industries. The Company's five largest clients in the first nine
months of 1997, in alphabetical order, were Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., J.P.
Morgan & Co. Inc., Mitsubishi International Corp., Philip Morris Companies
Inc. and The Prudential Insurance Company of America.

Faced with an increased strategic reliance on IT, escalating costs of
maintaining in-house IT departments, a shortage of skilled IT personnel and
an inability to effectively handle mass change issues, such as the Year 2000
problem, organizations are increasingly outsourcing IT functions to
third-party vendors. The Company believes that the following key industry
trends will continue to have a major influence on the worldwide IT services
market: (i) shortage of IT professionals, (ii) mass change problems, (iii)
offshore software development and (iv) software development challenges.
The PRT Global Solution enables the Company's clients to outsource a broad
range of business and technology needs. PRT's international fulfillment
capacity offers a high quality strategic alternative to traditional onsite
consulting. The Company reliably and predictably provides flexible technical
solutions to a wide range of issues encountered by Fortune 500-sized
companies. In this highly competitive and rapidly changing business
environment, the Company offers a cost-effective, reliable solution. The
following are key attributes of PRT's global solution: (i) emphasis on
recruitment and training of IT professionals, (ii) expansion of strategic
solutions offerings, (iii) replication of Sofware Development Centers and
(iv) utilization of a disciplined software engineering approach based on the
Company's PAL framework.
PRT has established four primary growth strategies in order to expand
revenues and enhance profitability. These growth strategies include: (i)
expanding client relationships, (ii) building and expanding SDCs, (iii)
capitalizing on investments in infrastructure and personnel and (iv)
continuing to pursue strategic acquisitions. The Company's sales have
increased to $23.8 million in 1996 from $5.3 million in 1992 representing a
compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of approximately 45%. For the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, the Company's
revenues were $40.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively, representing an
increase of approximately 150%. During the same time periods, the Company's
gross margin improved to approximately 30% from approximately 25%.

RISK FACTORS
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Prospectus, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions as they
relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or
implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include those discussed below.
RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF IT PROFESSIONALS
The Company's business is labor-intensive. The Company's success depends
upon its ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain IT professionals
who possess the necessary technical skills and experience or can be trained
to deliver the Company's services. Qualified IT professionals are in high
demand worldwide and are likely to remain a limited resource for the
foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that PRT will continue to have
access to qualified IT professionals, will be successful in retaining current
or future IT professionals, or that the cost of employing and subcontracting
such IT professionals will not increase due to shortages. Failure to attract
or retain qualified IT professionals in sufficient numbers could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. See "Business--The IT Services Industry,"
"Business--Recruiting and Training" and "Business--Competition."
INCREASING SIGNIFICANCE OF AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company will increase its investment in international operations over
the next several years with an increasing percentage of its revenues
generated by operations in countries outside of the United States. During the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the nine months ended September
30, 1997, the percentage of revenue generated outside the United States was
0.3%, 15% and 29%, respectively. There were no revenues generated outside the
United States prior to 1995. The Company's international operations depend
greatly upon business, immigration and technology transfer laws in those
countries and upon the continued development of the local technology
infrastructure. As a result, the Company's business is subject to the risks
generally associated with non-United States operations including, among other
things: (i) unexpected changes in regulatory environments; (ii) difficulties
in managing international operations; (iii) potential adverse foreign tax
consequences, including impact upon repatriation of earnings; (iv) tariffs
and other trade barriers and (v) political unrest and changing conditions in
countries in which the Company's services are provided or facilities are
located. In addition, although all of the Company's foreign sales are payable
in U.S. Dollars, there can be no assurance that all of the Company's future
contracts will be payable in U.S. Dollars; if any of the Company's future
contracts are payable in foreign currencies, the Company could be exposed to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Although the Company does not engage
in currency hedging transactions, to date the Company has not sustained any
foreign currency losses. If any of the above factors were to render the
conduct of business in a particular country undesirable or impracticable,
there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition.
PRT has operated its Barbados SDC for approximately two years. PRT
believes Barbados is one of the most stable countries in the Caribbean, has a
long tradition of democracy and that the Company currently has good relations
with the government of Barbados. While PRT (Barbados) Ltd. ("PRT Barbados")
is an international business company under Barbadian law, PRT has negotiated
special incentives with the Barbadian government including, among other
things, certain advantageous tax rates, an exclusivity and non-compete
agreement (which expires in 2000) and the ability to secure an unlimited
number of employee work permits and visas. There is no guarantee that this
relationship will continue or that these special incentives will not be
curbed or eliminated. While the Company believes that the expiration of the
non-compete agreement will not have a material adverse effect on PRT's
business, operating results or financial condition, there can be no assurance
that this will be the case. If the Barbadian government were to take any such
action in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
A significant element of the Company's business strategy is to continue to
open and develop SDCs, sales and account management offices and training and
recruiting centers. PRT currently has a recruiting
6
<PAGE>
center in Mumbai, India and has plans to open an SDC in Chennai, India in
1998. The Indian government exerts significant influence over its economy. In
the recent past, the Indian government has provided significant tax
incentives and relaxed certain regulatory restrictions in order to encourage
foreign investment in certain sectors of the economy, including the IT
industry. Certain of these benefits that could directly affect the Company
include, among others: (i) tax holidays, (ii) liberalized import and export
duties and (iii) preferential rules with respect to foreign investment and
repatriation of earnings. Changes in the business, political or regulatory
climate of India could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, although
wage costs in India are significantly lower than in the United States and
elsewhere for comparably skilled IT professionals, wages in India are
increasing at a faster rate than in the United States. In the past, India has
experienced significant inflation and shortages of foreign exchange, and has
been subject to political unrest. Changes in inflation, interest rates,
taxation or other social, political, economic or diplomatic developments
affecting India in the future could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See
"Business--PRT Growth Strategies."
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; LOSSES
The Company has a limited operating history, incurred losses from the
quarter ended December 31, 1995 until the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and as
of September 30, 1997 had an accumulated deficit. Although the Company was
profitable in the quarter ended September 30, 1997, in order to operate
profitably in the future, the Company must accomplish some of the following
objectives: (i) increase the amount of services rendered to existing clients
and develop new clients, (ii) develop and realize additional revenue sources
and (iii) reduce costs of providing services. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in meeting these objectives or that the
Company will be able to sustain profitability. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Quarterly
Results."
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
The Company's revenues and operating results are subject to significant
variation from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors,
including, but not limited to: (i) the timing and number of client projects
commenced and completed during the quarter, (ii) the number of working days
in a quarter and (iii) employee hiring, attrition and utilization rates.
Because a high percentage of the Company's expenses, in particular personnel
and facilities costs, is relatively fixed, variations in revenues may cause
significant variations in operating results. Additionally, the Company
periodically incurs cost increases due to both the hiring of new employees
and strategic investments in its infrastructure in anticipation of future
opportunities for revenue growth. Quarterly results are likely to fluctuate,
which may cause a material adverse effect on the market price of the Common
Stock. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Quarterly Results."
ABILITY TO SUSTAIN AND MANAGE GROWTH
The Company's business has grown rapidly during the past several years due
to the increased demand for its services from existing clients, the addition
of new clients and the increased number of Company sales and account
management offices and SDCs. The Company's continued growth is dependent upon
a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the continued growth
of the Barbados and Hartford area SDCs; (ii) the ability to continue to
replicate SDCs in the future; (iii) the ability to cultivate additional
business from existing clients; (iv) the ability to obtain new clients; (v)
the ability to locate and hire IT professionals within new and existing
markets; (vi) the continued identification and training of corporate
personnel to staff new and recently opened or acquired sales and account
management offices and SDCs; (vii) the successful performance of recently
opened or acquired offices and (viii) the ability to anticipate, acquire,
master and exploit new technologies as they develop. There can be no
assurance that recently opened or acquired offices will achieve and sustain
any level of profitability or that the Company's historical revenue growth
will continue. Further, the Company's rapid growth and expansion has placed
and could continue to place a significant strain on the Company's management,
personnel and resources. The Company's ability to continue to manage its
growth successfully will require it to further enhance its management,
financial and information systems and controls. Finally, the Company's
7
<PAGE>
management has no demonstrated experience in managing the Company during
times of economic downturn, and there can be no assurance that management can
maintain profitability or growth levels at such times. The failure to manage
growth effectively would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition. See "Business--PRT
Growth Strategies."
CONCENTRATION OF REVENUES
In 1996, approximately 72% of the Company's revenues was derived from five
clients, with one client, Philip Morris Companies Inc., accounting for
approximately 28%; during the first nine months of 1997, approximately 73% of
the Company's revenues was derived from its largest five clients, with one
client, Prudential Insurance Company of America, accounting for approximately
24% of revenues. Most of PRT's larger clients are comprised of a number of
subsidiaries or divisions, each of which PRT considers to be a separate
client because they make their own purchasing decisions. As of July 1, 1997,
the Company acquired CMR. See "Certain Transactions--Acquisition of Computer
Management Resources, Inc." If CMR had been acquired on January 1, 1997, on a
pro forma basis during the first nine months of 1997, approximately 67% of
the Company's revenues would have been derived from its largest five clients
and 22% would have been derived from the Company's largest client, Prudential
Insurance Company of America. The loss of a significant client could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. See "Business--Clients."
Certain stockholders of the Company are significant PRT clients. Although
the Company has no reason to expect it, a client-stockholder could be less
inclined to maintain the same volume of business with the Company in the
future if such client-stockholder were to sell most or all of its shares of
PRT Common Stock. See "Certain Transactions."
POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO CLIENTS
Many of the Company's engagements, including Year 2000 projects, involve
services that are critical to the operations of its clients' businesses and
provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Although the Company
attempts to contractually limit its liability for damages arising from
errors, mistakes, omissions or negligent acts in rendering its services,
there can be no assurance that its attempts to limit liability will be
successful. The Company's failure or inability to meet a client's
expectations in the performance of its services could result in a material
adverse effect on the client's operations and, therefore, could give rise to
claims against the Company or damage the Company's reputation, which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition.
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's future success depends on the continued services of certain
key management personnel, in particular, Douglas K. Mellinger, Chief
Executive Officer, and Srinivasan Viswanathan, President of PRT Barbados,
each of whom has entered into an employment agreement with PRT. While the
Company retains a "key man" life insurance policy in the amount of $2.5
million on Mr. Mellinger, there can be no assurance that such amount would
adequately compensate the Company for a loss of his services. In addition,
the Company's continued growth depends on its ability to attract and retain
capable management personnel. Failure to do so or the loss of either of
Messrs. Mellinger or Viswanathan could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See
"Management -- Executive Officers and Directors."
POTENTIAL DECREASES IN DEMAND FOR YEAR 2000 SERVICES
The Company realized less than 10% of its total revenues from Year 2000
solutions in each of fiscal years 1995 and 1996 and in the first nine months
of 1997. The Company expects that it will receive increased revenues for Year
2000 solutions. After the year 2000, the Company believes that demand for
Year 2000 solutions will continue; however, such demand is expected to begin
to diminish as many Year 2000 solutions are implemented and tested. A core
element of the Company's growth strategy is to use the business relationships
and the knowledge of clients' computer systems obtained in providing Year
2000 solutions to generate additional IT projects with such clients. There
can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in
generating additional business from its Year 2000 clients. In addition,
8
<PAGE>
by utilizing significant resources during the next several years to solve its
clients' Year 2000 problems, the Company's ability to deliver other IT
services could be adversely affected. Finally, the Company relies on licenses
from outside parties for certain of its Year 2000 software tools; any
disruption of the relationship with such parties could adversely affect the
Company's ability to provide Year 2000 solutions and thereby have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition. See "--Intellectual Property Rights," "Business--PRT Services
Offered," "Intellectual Property Rights" and "Business--PRT Growth
Strategies."
CONTRACT RISK
Most of the Company's contracts are terminable by the client following
limited notice and without significant penalty. In addition, each stage of a
project often represents a separate contractual commitment at the end of
which the client may elect not to proceed to the next stage of the project.
While, to date, none of the Company's clients has terminated a material
contract or materially reduced the scope of a large project, there can be no
assurance that one or more of the Company's clients will not take such
actions in the future. The cancellation or significant reduction in the scope
of a large project could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.
FIXED-PRICE ENGAGEMENTS
The Company principally bills for its services on a time and materials
basis; however, some of the Company's contracts contain a cap on the amount
of fees the Company can charge. The Company occasionally has entered into
fixed-price billing engagements and may in the future enter into additional
engagements billed on a fixed-price basis. While the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition have not been materially adversely
affected by any failure of the Company to complete a fixed-price engagement
within budget in the past and the Company does not anticipate any such
failure in the future, any such failure could expose the Company to risks
associated with cost overruns, which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
RISKS OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS
The IT services industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
shifting client preferences and new product developments. The introduction of
competitive IT solutions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new
industry standards may render the Company's existing IT solutions, skills
base or underlying technologies obsolete or unmarketable. As a result, the
Company will be dependent in large part upon its ability to develop new IT
solutions and capabilities that address the increasingly sophisticated needs
of its clients and keep pace with new competitive service and product
offerings and emerging industry standards to achieve broad market acceptance.
There can be no assurance that: (i) the Company will be successful in
developing and marketing new IT solutions that respond to technological
changes, shifting client requirements or evolving industry standards; (ii)
that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent
the successful development, introduction and marketing of these new IT
solutions or (iii) its IT solutions will adequately meet the requirements of
the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Any failure to respond to
technological change or evolving industry standards could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition. See "Business--PRT Services Offered."
COMPETITION
The Company experiences intense competition. The market for services such
as those PRT offers is very broad and such services are offered by a large
number of private and public companies, many of which are significantly
larger than, and have greater financial, technical and marketing resources
than, PRT. Additionally, in certain sectors of the Company's business,
particularly Staff Augmentation, there are few barriers to entry and new
competitors do and are expected to enter the market. As competitors enter the
market to provide services similar to the Company, PRT's ability to compete
effectively will increasingly depend upon the quality and price of its
services. Competition could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition. See
"Business--Competition."

<PAGE>
RISKS RELATED TO POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS
The Company has expanded and expects to continue to expand its operations
through the acquisition of additional businesses. See "Certain
Transactions--Acquisition of Computer Management Resources, Inc." There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or
profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate acquired
businesses into the Company without substantial expenses, delays or other
operational or financial difficulty. Furthermore, acquisitions may involve a
number of special risks, including, but not limited to: (i) diversion of
management's attention, (ii) possible failure to retain key acquired
personnel, (iii) unanticipated events or circumstances, (iv) risks of
entering markets in which the Company has no or limited prior experience or
(v) legal liabilities and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Client
satisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could have
a material adverse effect on the reputation of the Company as a whole. In
addition, there can be no assurance that acquired businesses will achieve
anticipated financial performance. While the Company from time to time
considers acquisition opportunities, it has no existing agreements,
understandings or commitments to effect any material acquisition. The failure
of the Company to manage its acquisition strategy successfully could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition. See "Business--PRT Growth Strategies."
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF IMMIGRATION
The Company recruits employees from around the world. Some of these
employees work in the United States under H-1B temporary work permits. As of
September 1, 1997, approximately 4% of PRT's worldwide workforce was working
under H-1B temporary work permits in the United States. Although, to date,
PRT has not experienced difficulties in obtaining sufficient H-1B work
permits, in the future the Company may be unable to obtain H-1B work permits
to bring necessary employees to the United States for any number of reasons
including, without limitation, limits set by the United States Immigration
and Naturalization Service. Continued compliance with existing United States
immigration laws, or changes in such laws making it more difficult to hire
foreign nationals or limiting the ability of the Company to retain H-1B
employees in the United States, could increase the Company's cost of
recruiting and retaining the requisite number of IT professionals which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition. See "Business--Recruiting and Training."
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
In order to protect its proprietary rights in its various intellectual
properties, the Company currently relies on copyrights, trade secrets and
unpatented proprietary know-how which may be duplicated by others. The
Company employs various methods, including nondisclosure agreements and other
contractual arrangements with employees and suppliers and technical
protective measures to protect its proprietary know-how. As a signatory to
the Berne Convention, an international treaty, the government of Barbados has
agreed to recognize protections on copyrighted materials conferred under the
laws of foreign countries, including the laws of the United States. The
Company believes that laws, rules, regulations and treaties in effect in the
United States and Barbados are adequate to protect it from misappropriation
or unauthorized use of its intellectual property. However, there can be no
assurance that such laws will not change and, in particular, that the laws of
Barbados will not change in ways that may prevent or restrict the transfer of
software components, libraries and toolsets from Barbados to the United
States. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to
protect its proprietary rights will be adequate to deter misappropriation of
its intellectual property, or that the Company will be able to deter
unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights. In
addition, the failure of such protective measures could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition. There can be no assurance that other persons will not
independently develop such know-how or obtain access to it, or independently
develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to PRT's
technology. The Company presently holds no patents or registered copyrights.
A competitor of the Company recently announced the filing with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office of three patent applications relating to
Year 2000 processes. The Company does not know the proprietary features of
the processes covered by such patent applications since United States patent
applications are not publicly available until the patents, if any, are
issued. Although the Company believes that its intellectual property rights,
including intellectual property rights licensed from third parties by the
Company, do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there
can be
10
<PAGE>
no assurance that: (i) such a claim will not be asserted against the Company
in the future, (ii) assertion of such claims will not result in litigation or
that the Company would prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain a
license for the use of any infringed intellectual property from a third party
on commerically reasonable terms or (iii) any of PRT's software could be
redesigned on an economical basis or at all, or that any such redesigned
software would be competitive with the software of the Company's competitors.
The Company expects that the risk of infringement claims against the Company
will increase if more of PRT's competitors are able to successfully obtain
patents for software products and processes. Any such claims, regardless of
their outcome, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources
and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition. See "Business--Intellectual Property
Rights."
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Amended and Restated By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law include
provisions that may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects and may delay,
deter or prevent a takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their
best interests. These include provisions under which only the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President may call meetings of
stockholders and certain advance notice procedures for nominating candidates
for election to the Board of Directors. Directors of the Company are divided
into three classes and are elected to serve staggered three-year terms. The
Board of Directors of the Company is empowered to issue up to 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and
privileges of such shares without any further stockholder action. The
existence of this "blank-check" preferred stock could render more difficult
or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a
tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. In addition, this
"blank-check" preferred stock, and any issuance thereof, may have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. See "Management"
and "Description of Capital Stock--Preferred Stock," "--Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law" and "--Certain Certificate and By-Law
Provisions."
CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
Upon consummation of this Offering, the Mellinger family will own
approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (approximately
36% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock if the Underwriters'
over-allotment is exercised in full) and will continue to effectively control
the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders,
including extraordinary transactions such as mergers, sales of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets or going-private transactions. Such
control may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or
potential change of control of the Company, including transactions in which
the holders of Common Stock might receive a premium for their shares over
prevailing market prices. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders" and
"Description of Capital Stock."
BENEFITS OF OFFERING TO PRT'S CURRENT SECURITYHOLDERS
PRT's current securityholders will receive substantial proceeds from this
Offering and certain other benefits in connection with this Offering. This
Offering will establish a public market for the Common Stock and provide
significantly increased liquidity to the current securityholders for the
shares of Common Stock they will own after this Offering. After deduction of
underwriting discounts and commissions, the aggregate realized gain as a
result of this Offering by the Selling Stockholders will be approximately
$7.9 million (at an assumed initial public offering price of $13.00 per
share). Upon completion of this Offering, PRT's current securityholders will
beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 75% of the outstanding Common
Stock. The aggregate unrealized gain to current securityholders with regard
to unsold shares will be approximately $150.3 million. See "Dilution" and
"Principal and Selling Stockholders."
NO PRIOR MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock of the Company. The initial public offering price per share of the
Common Stock will be determined by negotiations among
11
<PAGE>
management of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the representatives
of the Underwriters. There can be no assurance that an active public market
in the Company's Common Stock will develop or be sustained. The stock market
has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that
have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. In addition, factors such as announcements of acquisitions of
businesses, technological innovations, new products or services or new client
engagements by the Company or its competitors or third parties, as well as
market conditions in the IT services industry, may have a significant impact
on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. See "Underwriting."
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Immediately after completion of this Offering, the Company will have an
aggregate of 18,161,973 shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock
outstanding, 4,600,000 of which will be freely tradeable without restriction
or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except
those shares, if any, acquired by affiliates of the Company. The remaining
13,561,973 shares in the aggregate of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common
Stock outstanding will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule
144 under the Securities Act. The Company and certain of the Company's
stockholders have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of
Common Stock, including shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, until 180 days
after the date of this Prospectus, without the prior consent of Smith Barney
Inc., subject to certain limited exceptions. Following this 180 day lock-up
period, all of the restricted securities become eligible for sale, subject to
the manner of sale, volume, notice and information requirements of Rule 144.
Sales of substantial amounts of such shares of Common Stock in the public
market or the availability of additional shares of Common Stock for future
sale could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the
Company's ability to raise additional capital at a price favorable to the
Company. Pursuant to agreements between the Company and certain of the
Company's stockholders, such stockholders are entitled to certain
registration rights with respect to their shares of Common Stock or
Non-Voting Common Stock. If such stockholders, by exercising such
registration rights upon expiration of their lock-up agreement described
above (if applicable), cause a large number of shares to be registered and
sold in the public market, such sales may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Common Stock. Furthermore, approximately 90 days after
the date of this Prospectus, the Company expects to file a registration
statement on Form S-8 registering 4,302,000 shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance pursuant to stock options granted, or to be granted, under the
Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan. See "Description of
Capital Stock," "Shares Eligible for Future Sale," "Management--Executive
Compensation, Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and
Change-in-Control Arrangements," "Certain Transactions," and "Underwriting."
BROAD DISCRETION IN USE OF PROCEEDS
A significant portion of the net proceeds to be received by the Company in
connection with this Offering will be allocated to, among other things,
working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, the Company will
have broad discretion with respect to the expenditure of such proceeds. In
particular, the Company could use a portion of these funds for the
acquisition of complementary businesses, products and technologies, although
it has no present agreements or commitments with respect to any such material
transaction. There can be no assurance that the Company will deploy these
proceeds in a manner that enhances stockholder value. See "Use of Proceeds"
and "--Risks Related to Possible Acquisitions."
DILUTION
The purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby will experience
immediate and significant dilution. See "Dilution."

THE COMPANY
PRT Group Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
1996. The Company was founded as PRT Corp. of America, a New York
corporation, in 1989. The Company maintains its principal executive offices
at 342 Madison Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10173. The Company's
telephone number is (212) 922-0800. On September 30, 1997, PRT employed or
had subcontracting arrangements with over 700 personnel, including 665 IT
professionals, of whom 202 were subcontractors; of PRT's IT professionals,
approximately 50% worked in SDCs.
PRT currently operates in four types of facilities: (i) SDCs, (ii) sales
and account management offices, (iii) training and recruiting centers and
(iv) administration and operations offices. Currently, the Company operates
an SDC in each of Barbados, West Indies and the Hartford, Connecticut area
and plans to open a third SDC in Chennai, India during 1998. PRT has sales
and account management offices located in Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey,
New York and Virginia. The Company also operates a training and recruiting
center in Mumbai, India and has administrative and operations offices in New
York, New York and Hawthorne, New York.
As of July 1, 1997, the Company acquired CMR, located in Wallingford,
Connecticut. CMR had revenues of $7.5 million during its fiscal year ended
February 28, 1997. As of July 1, 1997, CMR had over 75 IT professionals, 21
of whom were subcontractors.
13
<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares of Common
Stock offered by the Company (after deduction of estimated underwriting
discounts and commissions and Offering expenses payable by the Company) are
estimated to be approximately $45.2 million (assuming an initial public
offering price of $13.00 per share). The Company expects to use the net
proceeds from this Offering for: (i) payment of certain accrued dividends and
distributions on the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Convertible Preferred Stock"), and distributions
on the Unit Warrants (as defined herein) in an aggregate amount of $733,000
as of September 30, 1997; (ii) expansion of existing operations, including
the Company's SDCs and development of new service capabilities; (iii) general
corporate purposes, including working capital and (iv) possible acquisitions
of related businesses. Although the Company actively seeks the acquisition of
related businesses, it currently has no understandings, commitments or
agreements with respect to any material acquisitions. Pending their
application as described above, such proceeds will be invested in short-term,
investment grade, interest-bearing securities.
The principal purposes of this Offering are to increase the Company's
equity capital and financial flexibility, create a public market for the
Common Stock, facilitate future access by the Company to the public equity
markets, enhance the Company's ability to use Common Stock as a means of
attracting and retaining key employees and technical staff, and provide
working capital to fund the Company's growth strategies. See "Business--PRT
Growth Strategies."
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by
the Selling Stockholders. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders."
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company intends to retain all of its future earnings to fund growth
and the operation of its business and therefore does not anticipate paying
any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Future cash dividends, if any,
will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend
upon, among other things, the Company's future operations and earnings,
capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual
restrictions and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem
relevant. Pursuant to the terms of its present credit facility (the "Line of
Credit") with Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), the Company is prohibited
from paying dividends on the Common Stock without the prior consent of Chase.

DILUTION
As of September 30, 1997, the Company's as adjusted net tangible book
value was approximately $12,090,000 or $0.85 per share, after giving effect
to: (i) the issuance of 2,759,610 shares of Common Stock in connection with
the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) the issuance of an
aggregate of 936,365 shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock in
connection with the exercise of the JPMVC PRT Warrants; and (iii) the
reclassification of 119,181 shares of Common Stock as of July 1, 1997, in
connection with the acquisition of CMR which were subject to redemption. Net
tangible book value per share represents the Company's total tangible assets
less the Company's total liabilities, divided by the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to (i), (ii) and
(iii) above and the sale of 3,850,000 shares of Common Stock by the Company
(at an assumed initial public offering price of $13.00 per share) and the
application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of
Proceeds," the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of the Company
at September 30, 1997, would have been $57,337,000 or $3.16 per share. This
amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $2.31
per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $9.84 per
share to purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering. The following table

(1) The foregoing table does not reflect the sale of Common Stock by the
Selling Stockholders. Sales by the Selling Stockholders will reduce the
number of shares held by the existing stockholders to 13,554,566 or
approximately 74.7% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after this Offering (12,864,566 or approximately 70.9%, if
the Underwriters over-allotment option is exercised in full), and will
increase the number of shares to be purchased by the new investors to
4,600,000 or approximately 25.3% of the total number of shares
outstanding after this Offering (5,290,000 or approximately 29.1%, if
the Underwriters over-allotment option is exercised in full).
(2) Excludes, as of September 30, 1997, options to acquire 161,575 shares

options are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains certain forward-looking statements that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this section, the
words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions
as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or
implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, without limitation, those discussed
in "Risk Factors."
OVERVIEW
PRT was founded in 1989 to provide IT solutions and services
internationally, primarily to Fortune 500-sized companies. PRT provides a
number of IT services including: (i) Strategic Consulting, (ii) Project
Solutions and (iii) Staff Augmentation. These services are performed either
at a client's location or at a PRT facility. The Company's revenues have
increased from $5.3 million in 1992 to $23.8 million in 1996 representing a
CAGR of approximately 45%. For the nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1996, the Company's revenues were $40.0 million and
$16.0 million, respectively, representing an approximate increase of 150%.
To sustain its growth, the Company has made and continues to make
substantial investments in its infrastructure, including: (i) SDCs in the
United States and Barbados, (ii) international training and recruiting
centers, (iii) the Company's PAL software development framework and (iv)
expansion of its management team. Because a significant percentage of these
investments have already been made, the Company believes it will realize
improved operating margins to the extent future revenue growth exceeds
on-going costs associated with such growth. In September 1995, PRT commenced
operations at its SDC prototype in Barbados, West Indies. Following its
strategic plan to replicate the SDC model, the Company opened its Hartford,
Connecticut area SDC in 1997. PRT plans to continue international replication
of SDCs in the future, with an SDC expected to open in India in 1998.
With respect to Strategic Consulting and Project Solutions services, the
Company generally assumes responsibility for project management and bills the
client on a time and materials basis, although a small percentage of projects
are billed on a fixed-price basis. Staff Augmentation services are billed on
a time and materials basis and generally have lower gross profit margins than
PRT's other service offerings. Since 1994, the Company has been shifting its
business from its Staff Augmentation services toward higher-margin Strategic
Consulting and Project Solutions services.
Revenues are primarily recognized as services are rendered based on time
and materials charges or, to a lesser extent, using the percentage of
completion method for fixed-price projects.
Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries (including non-billable
and training time), benefits and travel expenses for IT professionals and is
PRT's most significant expenditure item. The Company strives to maintain its
gross profit margins by offsetting increases in salaries and benefits with
increases in billing rates. PRT has realized higher gross profit margins by
shifting toward higher-margin Strategic Consulting and Project Solutions
services and delivering such services through its SDCs in Barbados and the
Hartford area. The Company intends to continue to take advantage of the
benefits of delivering its services through its SDCs by building and
expanding its SDCs. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1996, revenues earned through SDCs represented approximately
30% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of
costs associated with: (i) corporate overhead, (ii) sales and account
management, (iii) telecommunications, (iv) human resources, (v) recruiting
and training, (vi) depreciation and amortization of infrastructure and (vii)
other administrative expenditures.
PRT Barbados is eligible for certain favorable tax provisions under the
laws of Barbados and has obtained a license to conduct business in accordance
with the provisions of the International Business
18
<PAGE>
Companies Act 1991-24. PRT Barbados is taxed at an income tax rate of 1%. The
Company considers PRT Barbados' earnings to be permanently invested and does
not anticipate repatriating any of these earnings to the United States. If
the Company decides to repatriate any earnings of PRT Barbados, it will be
required to record a provision for United States income taxes on such amounts
and, upon repatriation of the funds, pay United States income taxes thereon.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, PRT Barbados incurred a net loss of approximately $1.5
million, $2.8 million and $498,000, respectively. At September 30, 1997, the
accumulated deficit of PRT Barbados was approximately $4.8 million. Employees
in Barbados also receive certain tax concessions for transportation, housing
and food allowances.
As part of the Company's expansion strategy, in July 1997, PRT completed
the acquisition of CMR for an aggregate of $6.3 million in cash, notes and
common stock. CMR provides the Company with additional Fortune 500-sized
clients, a consultant list in the northeastern United States and additional
trained IT professionals. See "Certain Transactions--Acquisition of Computer
Management Resources, Inc." Currently, the Company has no material
acquisitions pending.

</TABLE>
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996
Revenues. Revenues increased approximately 150% to $40.0 million in the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997 from $16.0 million for the
comparable period in 1996. This growth in revenues is primarily attributable
to increases in the size of the Company's IT professional workforce,
expansion of the Company's SDC operations, additional services provided to
existing clients and, to a lesser extent, increases in billing rates. The
number of IT professionals (including subcontractors) increased to 605 on
September 30, 1997 from 262 on September 30, 1996. Revenues from SDCs
increased approximately 526% to $11.9 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 from $1.9 million for the comparable period in 1996. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, revenues generated from a
client who is also a stockholder were approximately $8.1 million and $1.6
million, respectively.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased approximately 131% to $27.9
million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 from $12.1 million
for the comparable period in 1996. As a percentage of revenues, cost of
revenues decreased from approximately 75% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 to approximately 70% for the comparable period in 1997.
The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to increases in
the number of the Company's IT professionals. In 1997, the decrease in cost
of revenues as a percentage of revenues reflects: (i) the continued expansion
of the Company's SDCs, (ii) the continued strategic shift of its business
toward higher-margin service offerings and (iii) higher utilization rates at
the Company's SDCs in 1997.
Gross Profit. For the reasons set forth above, gross profit increased
approximately 209% to $12.2 million for the nine month period ended September
30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the comparable period in 1996. As a percentage
of revenues, gross profit increased to approximately 30% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1997 from 25% for the comparable nine month period
in 1996.
SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses increased approximately 145% to $13.7 million
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 from $5.6 million for the
comparable period in 1996. As a
19
<PAGE>
percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased to approximately 34% for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997 from approximately 35% for the
comparable period in 1996. The increase in SG&A expenses resulted from: (i)
the continued expansion of the Company's sales and account management
efforts, (ii) further enhancements of the Company's SDCs, (iii) depreciation
of infrastructure, (iv) increased telecommunications costs, (v) addition of
management personnel and (vi) other corporate overhead cost increases
necessary to support the Company's continued and anticipated revenue growth.
Income (Loss) from Operations. For the reasons set forth above, loss from
operations for the first nine months of 1997 was $1.6 million compared to a
loss of $1.7 million in the comparable period in 1996. As a percentage of
revenues, the loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 decreased to approximately 4% compared to approximately 10% in the
comparable period in 1996.
FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1995
Revenues. Revenues increased approximately 17% to $23.8 million in fiscal
year 1996 from $20.3 million in fiscal year 1995. This growth in revenues is
primarily attributable to: (i) increases in the size of the Company's IT
professional workforce; (ii) expansion of the Company's SDC operations; (iii)
additional services provided to existing and new clients and (iv) to a lesser
extent, increases in billing rates. The number of IT professionals utilized
by the Company (including subcontractors) increased to 308 as of December 31,
1996 from 133 as of December 31, 1995. Revenues from SDCs increased to
approximately $3.5 million in fiscal year 1996 from $55,000 in fiscal year
1995.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased approximately 15% to $18.0
million in fiscal year 1996 from $15.6 million in fiscal year 1995. As a
percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to approximately 76% for
fiscal year 1996 from approximately 77% for fiscal year 1995. The increase in
cost of revenues is primarily attributable to increases in the number of the
Company's IT professionals. In 1996, the decrease in cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues is primarily due to billing rate increases partially
offset by salary increases to IT professionals (particularly at the Company's
Barbados SDC) and the strategic shift of its business toward higher-margin
service offerings. Additionally, the Company achieved higher utilization
rates in its SDC in 1996.
Gross Profit. For the reasons set forth above, gross profit increased
approximately 23% to $5.8 million in fiscal year 1996 from $4.8 million in
fiscal year 1995. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to
approximately 25% in fiscal year 1996 from approximately 23% in fiscal year
1995.
SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses increased approximately 125% to $9.2 million
in 1996 from $4.1 million in fiscal year 1995. As a percentage of revenues,
SG&A expenses increased to approximately 39% for fiscal year 1996 from
approximately 20% for fiscal year 1995. This increase resulted from expenses
incurred to: (i) build and staff the near-shore SDC in Barbados, (ii) enhance
the Company's infrastructure, (iii) grow the management team necessary to
support the Company's continued and anticipated revenue growth and, to a
lesser extent and (iv) fund certain increases in selling costs incurred in
connection with obtaining preferred vendor status relating to the Company's
Staff Augmentation business.
Income (Loss) from Operations. For the reasons set forth above, loss from
operations was $3.4 million in fiscal year 1996 compared to income from
operations of $642,000 in fiscal year 1995.
FISCAL YEAR 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1994
Revenues. Revenues increased approximately 47% to $20.3 million in fiscal
year 1995 from $13.9 million in fiscal year 1994. This growth in revenues is
primarily attributable to increases in the size of the Company's IT
professional workforce. The number of IT professionals utilized by the
Company (including subcontractors) increased approximately 32% to 133 as of
December 31, 1995 from 101 as of December 31, 1994. The increase in revenues
resulted to a lesser extent from an increase in the average hourly billing
rates charged for the Company's IT professionals.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased approximately 44% to $15.6
million in fiscal year 1995 from $10.9 million in fiscal year 1994. As a
percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to
20
<PAGE>
approximately 77% for fiscal year 1995 from approximately 78% for fiscal year
1994. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to increases
in the number of the Company's IT professionals. In 1995, the decrease in
cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to billing rate
increases.
Gross Profit. For the reasons set forth above, gross profit increased
approximately 57% to $4.8 million in fiscal year 1995 from $3.0 million in
fiscal year 1994. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased to
approximately 23% in fiscal year 1995 from approximately 22% in fiscal year
1994.
SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses increased approximately 60% to $4.1 million
in fiscal year 1995 from $2.6 million in fiscal year 1994. As a percentage of
revenues, SG&A expenses increased from approximately 19% for fiscal year 1994
to approximately 20%. This increase was attributable primarily to the opening
and staffing of three sales and account management offices and the near-shore
SDC in Barbados.
Income (Loss) from Operations. For the reasons set forth above, income
from operations was $642,000 in fiscal year 1995 compared to $453,000 in
fiscal year 1994. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations was
approximately 3% in both fiscal years 1995 and 1994.

</TABLE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal capital requirement is to fund working capital to
support its growth. In May 1997, the Company obtained a $7.0 million Line of
Credit, which expires in June 1998 and bears interest at the Company's option
at either the bank's prime rate (8.5% at September 30, 1997) or LIBOR plus
2.25%. Borrowings under the Line of Credit, which are limited to 75% of PRT's
eligible U.S. accounts receivable, as defined therein, are collateralized by
a security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company had $3.0 million outstanding under the Line
of Credit. The Company believes that its receivables collection practices and
terms are consistent with industry practices.
21
<PAGE>
The Company's working capital decreased to $3.6 million at September 30,
1997 from $13.9 million at December 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents were
$3.7 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $14.9 million at December 31,
1996. The primary uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30,
1997 were to fund a net loss of $1.7 million, an increase of accounts
receivable of $9.4 million, offset by an increase in accrued compensation,
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.6 million. Cash and cash
equivalents of $5.1 million were used to purchase additional fixed assets
during the period ended September 30, 1997. Offsetting the use of cash were
net borrowings from the Line of Credit totaling $3.0 million and proceeds
from a client advance of $632,000 (included in the Advances described below).
The Company used $2.5 million of cash for operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The primary uses of cash for 1996 were to fund a net loss
of $3.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $2.3 million, offset
by an increase in accrued compensation, accounts payable and accrued expenses
of $2.7 million. In 1996, the Company used $2.1 million in cash for the
purchase of fixed assets. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company
generated $18.8 million in cash from financing activities. The primary
sources of cash were $17.1 million from issuance of the Company's Convertible
Preferred Stock and the Warrants, and $2.0 million from an advance payable to
JPMVC. See "Certain Transactions--Certain Financing Transactions."
The Company and PRT Barbados entered into agreements providing for
advances to PRT Barbados of $3.7 million in the aggregate (the "Advances") by
J.P. Morgan Ventures Corporation ("JPMVC"). In consideration for the
Advances, PRT Barbados issued warrants to purchase up to 24% of the
authorized shares of PRT Barbados capital stock to JPMVC (the "PRT Barbados
Warrants"). In the first quarter of 1997, the Company and JPMVC agreed to,
among other things, the exchange of the PRT Barbados Warrants for warrants to
purchase 936,365 shares of PRT Common Stock (the "JPMVC PRT Warrants"). The
JPMVC PRT Warrants are only exercisable by forgiveness of the Advances. Upon
the consummation of this Offering, the JPMVC PRT Warrants will be exercised
for an aggregate of 936,365 shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common
Stock and the Advances will be forgiven.
As of July 1, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of CMR. The
Company paid $2.9 million in cash and issued $2.0 million in notes and $1.4
million in Common Stock for all of the common stock of CMR.
The Company anticipates incurring approximately $3.5 million and $1.5
million in capital expenditures in the next 12 months to complete the
infrastructure at its Hartford, Connecticut area and Chennai, India SDCs,
respectively. The Company does not believe that such expenditures will have a
material adverse impact on its liquidity, results of operations or capital
requirements. The Company anticipates that its primary uses of working
capital in the near term will be the establishment of additional SDCs, the
development of new facilities and funding growth through acquisitions and
otherwise, and the accounts receivable related thereto. The Company believes
that the proceeds from this Offering, together with cash from operations and
borrowings under the Line of Credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company's
presently anticipated working capital needs for the next 12 months.
In the normal course of business, various claims may be made against the
Company. At this time, in the opinion of management, there are no pending
claims, the outcome of which are expected to result in a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share,"
was issued in February 1997. The Company will be required to adopt the new
standard on December 31, 1997. Early adoption of this standard is not
permitted. The primary requirements of this standard are: (i) replacement of
primary earnings per share with basic earnings per share, which eliminates
the dilutive effect of options and warrants; (ii) use of an average share
price in applying the treasury method to compute dilution for options and
warrants for fully-diluted earnings per share and (iii) disclosure
reconciling the numerator and denominator of earnings per share calculations.
The Company's adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
22
<PAGE>
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure," was issued in February 1997. The
Company will be required to adopt the new standard for the year ending
December 31, 1998. This statement requires specific disclosure regarding the
Company's capital structure, including descriptions of the securities
comprising the capital structure and the contractual rights of the holders of
such securities. The Company plans to adopt this statement in fiscal year
1998 and does not anticipate that the statement will have a significant
impact on its financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," was issued in June 1997. The Company will be required
to adopt the new standard for the year ending December 31, 1998, although
early adoption is permitted. The primary objective of this statement is to
report and disclose a measure ("Comprehensive Income") of all changes in
equity of a company that result from transactions and other economic events
of the period other than transactions with owners. The Company will adopt
this statement in fiscal year 1998 and does not anticipate that the statement
will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," was issued in June 1997.
The Company will be required to adopt the new standard for the year ending
December 31, 1998, although early adoption is permitted. This statement
requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The
management approach model is based on the way a company's management
organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and
assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and
services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other
manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company will adopt
this statement in fiscal year 1998 and does not anticipate that the adoption
of the statement will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTANTS
The Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its independent auditor in July
1997 to replace KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") as the Company's independent
auditor to avoid a potential lack of independence resulting from a KPMG
employee's ownership interest in PRT and family relation with certain PRT
stockholders. During the period between the date KPMG was engaged and the
date on which KPMG resigned, there was no: (i) disagreement between the
Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure or (ii) adverse
opinions or a disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles in connection with its
report on the Company's financial statements.
In March 1995, the Company, with the approval of its Board of Directors,
hired KPMG to replace Shulman, Cohen, Furst, Kramer & Rosen, P.C. ("Shulman,
Cohen") as its independent auditors. During the period between January 1,
1993 and the date on which Shulman, Cohen was replaced, there was no: (i)
disagreement between the Company and Shulman, Cohen on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure or (ii) adverse opinions or a disclaimer of
opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles in connection with its report on the Company's
financial statements.
EXPOSURE TO CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, the percentage of the Company's revenues generated
outside the United States was 0.3%, 15% and 29%, respectively. Prior to 1995,
there were no revenues generated outside the United States. Although the
Company's sales are payable in U.S. Dollars, there can be no assurance that
all of the Company's future contracts will be payable in U.S. Dollars. To the
extent that any of the Company's future contracts are payable in foreign
currencies, the Company could be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange
rates. To hedge a portion of the risks associated with such fluctuations, the
Company may engage in hedging transactions in the future.

INTRODUCTION
PRT was founded in 1989 to provide IT solutions and services
internationally, primarily to Fortune 500-sized companies. PRT provides a
number of services including Strategic Consulting, Project Solutions and
Staff Augmentation. PRT offers full life cycle solutions, beginning with the
understanding of the client's business issues and continuing through: (i)
problem analysis, (ii) solution architecture and design, (iii) coding, (iv)
testing and (v) ongoing maintenance. This life cycle approach, supported by
strict software engineering principles embodied in the Company's PAL software
development framework, a knowledge bank of processes, methodologies, tools
and reusable work product developed by PRT, as well as an internal,
independent software quality assurance function allows the Company to provide
high-quality, effective IT solutions. As of September 30, 1997, PRT employed
or had subcontracting arrangements with over 700 personnel, including 665 IT
professionals, of whom 202 were subcontractors; of PRT's IT professionals
approximately 50% worked in SDCs.
Strategic Consulting services include (i) management consulting, (ii)
strategic IT planning, (iii) emerging technology research, (iv) knowledge
transfer and (v) "Quality Journey" strategies and implementations, in which
PRT helps clients develop internal software development quality control
mechanisms, processes and organizational units. Project Solutions services
consist of: (i) full life cycle software development, (ii) hardware and
software platform migrations, in which a client's information systems are
moved from obsolete or legacy hardware or software systems to more efficient
and powerful new systems, (iii) maintenance outsourcing, (iv) Year 2000 and
other mass change renovation and (v) testing services for both mainframe and
client/server environments. Project solutions are rendered according to
rigorous software engineering principles and can be provided at a client
location or at one of PRT's SDCs. Staff Augmentation offers team or
individual staffing for a full spectrum of IT services, ranging from
traditional systems analysis through testing to high value-added IT
consulting and project management.
PRT focuses its marketing efforts on large businesses, primarily Fortune
500-sized companies, with significant IT budgets and recurring software and
maintenance development needs. PRT's client base includes companies primarily
in the financial services, consumer products, communications and healthcare
industries. The Company's five largest clients in the first nine months of
1997, in alphabetical order, were Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan &
Co. Inc., Mitsubishi International Corp., Philip Morris Companies Inc. and
Prudential Insurance Company of America.
The Company's sales have increased to $23.8 million in 1996 from $5.3
million in 1992 representing a CAGR of approximately 45%. For the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, the Company's
revenues were $40.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively, representing an
increase of approximately 150%.
THE IT SERVICES INDUSTRY
Overview
Worldwide competition, heightened by deregulation, globalization and rapid
technological advancement, is placing increasing demands on corporations to:
(i) improve the quality of products and services, (ii) reduce costs and time
to market of new products and services, (iii) improve operating efficiencies
and (iv) strengthen client relationships. The rapid rate of advancement in IT
capabilities, as well as the greater complexities and costs to an
organization of maintaining the IT function, is transforming the role of the
24
<PAGE>
in-house IT department. The ability to integrate and deploy improved IT in a
cost-effective manner has become critical to an organization's success. As a
result, organizations are increasingly viewing the IT function as less of a
support center and more as an integral component of corporate strategy.
Faced with: (i) an increased strategic reliance on IT, (ii) a shortage of
skilled IT personnel, (iii) escalating costs of maintaining in-house IT
departments and (iv) an inability to effectively handle mass change issues,
such as the Year 2000 problem, organizations are increasingly outsourcing IT
functions to third-party vendors. Forrester Research, an independent research
organization which provides information concerning the IT services industry,
estimates that the market for IT consulting, design, implementation,
integration, management, or full outsourcing to an external solutions
provider or contract professional was $124.0 billion in 1996 and will reach
$303.1 billion by 2002, representing an approximate CAGR of 16%.
Industry Trends
The Company believes that the following key industry trends will continue
to have a major influence on the worldwide IT services market.
Shortage of IT Professionals. There is a growing shortage of IT
professionals in the United States, Western Europe and Japan. This shortage
of IT professionals is rising due to the need for many organizations to
maintain legacy systems, the migration to new applications architectures and
the relatively small population of trained IT professionals. Additionally,
mass change issues, such as the Year 2000 problem, are accelerating this
increasing industry-wide shortage of IT professionals.
Mass Change Problems. Substantial growth opportunities for IT services
companies exist due to problems inherent in implementing mass changes to
application systems and their associated databases. Examples of mass change
problems include the Year 2000 problem, the European Union's expected
conversion to a single European currency and the extension of the number of
digits and other characters in zip codes, product codes and account numbers.
The Gartner Group, an independent research organization which provides
information concerning the IT services industry, has estimated that the
worldwide cost to resolve the Year 2000 problem alone could range from $300
billion to $600 billion and that the typical Fortune 100 company will spend
between $50 million and $100 million for Year 2000 services. Additionally,
the Gartner Group projects that by the end of 1997 only 20% of all systems in
the world will be Year 2000 compliant and that only 50% of such systems will
be Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1999.
Offshore Software Development. Due to the increasing shortage of qualified
IT professionals in developed countries and the rising domestic costs of
applications development and support, an increasing number of organizations
are turning to offshore software development. Offshore software development
offers a number of benefits, including lower costs and access to a larger
pool of skilled IT professionals. India is widely acknowledged as the leader
in offshore software development due to its large numbers of highly educated,
lower cost, English-speaking IT professionals. The Gartner Group predicts
that over the next three years many organizations will spend up to 40% of
their legacy systems software budgets for offshore projects. The Company
believes that the demand for offshore software development will continue to
be exacerbated by mass change problems.
Software Development Challenges. Software development organizations face a
number of challenges in completing applications projects consistently,
on-time and on-budget. The Standish Group, an independent research
organization which provides information concerning the IT services industry,
estimates approximately one-third of software development projects will be
cancelled before completion and over one-half will have significant cost
overruns. Because software development is plagued with these problems,
standards and benchmarks, such as the Capability Maturity Model ("CMM")
developed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University
have been established. This model serves as a base to deliver, reliable,
high-quality software solutions on-time and on-budget.
THE PRT GLOBAL SOLUTION
The PRT Global Solution enables the Company's clients to outsource a broad
range of business and technology needs. PRT's international fulfillment
capability offers a high-quality alternative to traditional
25
<PAGE>
onsite consulting. The Company reliably and predictably provides flexible
technical solutions to a broad range of issues encountered by Fortune
500-sized companies. In this highly competitive and rapidly changing business
environment, the Company offers a cost-effective, reliable solution. The
following are key attributes of PRT's Global Solution: (i) expansion of
strategic solutions offerings, (ii) replication of Software Development
Centers, (iii) utilization of a disciplined software engineering approach and
(iv) emphasis on recruitment and training of IT professionals.
Expand Strategic Solutions Offerings. PRT maintains active communication
between its clients and its IT professionals to understand the issues facing
large scale, complex organizations. As trends are identified, PRT strives to
quickly develop new capabilities and then markets the resulting solutions to
the Company's existing and potential clients. These capabilities include: (i)
data mining (finding hidden patterns in vast databases), (ii) data
visualization (graphical representation of data), (iii) data warehousing
(assembling massive amounts of data for aggregate analysis), (iv)
client/server technologies, (v) Internet/intranet technologies, (vi)
object-oriented technologies (development of reusable software object
building blocks) and (vii) usability engineering (making computer interfaces
more understandable and easier to use). PRT seeks to continuously add value
to its offerings by applying these techniques and technologies to projects as
part of its solutions.
Replicate Software Development Centers. The Company intends to increase
its investment in an integrated network of onshore, near-shore and offshore
SDCs and offices to facilitate offsite development of high quality software
on a cost effective basis. PRT opened its first SDC in September 1995,
near-shore in Barbados, West Indies. A second SDC is located onshore in the
Hartford, Connecticut area. The Company intends to utilize its experience
gained in establishing and operating its SDCs to efficiently open and operate
additional SDCs, including an offshore facility in Chennai, India in 1998.
The SDCs will be strategically located based on: (i) accessibility to
resources and skill sets, (ii) cost considerations, (iii) political and
cultural stability, (iv) availability of necessary communications and
technical infrastructure, (v) proximity to clients, (vi) convenience of time
zone and (vii) employee quality of life. The Company's SDCs are directly
linked by high-speed dedicated communications lines to all other PRT
locations and to many clients. Management believes the SDCs will boost PRT's
ability to leverage the capabilities of its workforce on behalf of its
clients while maintaining the common PAL approach, regardless of the location
of the SDC.
Utilize Disciplined Software Engineering Approach. To address the industry
challenges inherent in developing high-quality, complex, mission-critical
software on time and within budget, PRT has developed proprietary software
tools and processes. These tools and processes are embodied within the PAL
software development framework based upon the CMM model. PAL is a knowledge
bank of software development life cycle processes, methodologies, tools and
reusable work product developed by PRT. As processes are refined, PAL is
continuously updated. PAL is available to all PRT Project Solutions and
Strategic Consulting personnel, wherever located, through the Company's
integrated computer network. The PAL software development framework enables
the Company to deliver consistent, predictable, reliable, high-quality
solutions to its clients on a flexible, cost-effective basis.
Emphasize Recruitment and Training of IT Professionals. PRT maintains
active recruiting operations in Canada, the Caribbean, India, Ireland, Sri
Lanka, the United Kingdom and the United States. PRT continuously searches
for new sources of experienced professionals and qualified graduates of
educational institutions around the world. Many of PRT's non-U.S. employees
seek opportunities that provide competitive compensation, career growth
potential, intellectual challenge and diverse work locations. All newly
graduated PRT SDC employees are trained on the PAL software development
framework through a 12 week training program. In addition, all employees
undergo continuous training as new technologies emerge and as the PAL
software development framework is enhanced. As PRT replicates the SDC model
in new locations, additional opportunities for geographic relocation and
career advancement for PRT employees will arise. The Company believes this
provides a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining IT
professionals.
PRT GROWTH STRATEGIES
PRT has established four primary growth strategies in order to expand
revenues and enhance profitability. These growth strategies include: (i)
expanding client relationships, (ii) building and expanding Software
Development Centers, (iii) capitalizing on investments in infrastructure and
personnel and (iv) continuing to pursue strategic acquisitions.
26
<PAGE>
Expand Client Relationships. PRT will continue to emphasize its strategy
of building long-term, broad relationships with its clients. PRT is
integrally involved in the IT budgeting and planning process with many of its
clients, reflecting the depth of the Company's relationships. In the past
year, PRT has increased its average revenue per client by cross-selling
solutions and services to its existing client base. In the first nine months
of 1997, approximately 65% of the Company's revenues was generated from
clients that have been PRT clients for more than two years. The Company will
continue to use its account management teams to identify client needs and
will create new capabilities to meet these needs internally or through
strategic acquisitions.
Build and Expand Software Development Centers. On September 30, 1997, PRT
employed and subcontracted with 665 IT professionals, approximately 50% of
whom were employed at SDCs. PRT has unutilized space to house approximately
300 additional IT professionals within its current SDC facilities. New
locations and expansion of current facilities are being considered on an
on-going basis as capacity, client, and geographic demands require. PRT has
developed an SDC prototype which should allow future sites to be opened cost
effectively on a shorter time frame than in the past. This replicable
prototype also entails the movement of select groups of management and
technical personnel to new sites to ensure the smooth implementation of, and
adherence to, the Company's PAL software development framework and work
culture. PRT currently anticipates opening a SDC in Chennai, India in 1998.
PRT is currently assessing additional sites in India, and new sites in
Europe, Asia and South America.
Capitalize on Investments in Infrastructure and Personnel. Since 1995, the
Company has made significant investments in infrastructure to allow
engagements to be performed offsite with seamless integration of PRT systems
and client systems, while sensitive databases, programs, development and
support activities remain at the client's site. The primary purpose for
building and maintaining an international network and application
architecture is to enable PRT's employees and clients to work productively
without regard to the limitations presented by location, technical platform
or time zone. The Company believes it has also put a senior management team
in place that can leverage these infrastructure investments and continued to
effectively manage growth.
Continue to Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. As part of the Company's
expansion strategy PRT completed the acquisition of CMR in July 1997. CMR
provided the Company with additional Fortune 500-sized clients and additional
IT professionals in the northeastern United States. The Company will continue
to examine the possibility of acquiring complementary organizations. PRT's
target acquisition candidates generally consist of firms that provide
attractive service distribution outlets (by location or client) and/or mature
service capabilities in the form of IT products, practices or personnel.
PRT SERVICES OFFERED
Overview
PRT's understanding of the IT marketplace has resulted in its development
of capabilities in three primary categories: (i) Strategic Consulting, (ii)
Project Solutions and (iii) Staff Augmentation. The Company views its
long-term success as dependent upon its ability to maintain and expand its
relationships with its existing clients and attract new clients. PRT
transfers strategic knowledge to clients while building long-term
relationships through its service offerings, causing many clients to view PRT
as an extension of their in-house IT organizations.
Strategic Consulting
PRT works with its clients to develop a technical vision and IT services
strategy that helps its clients achieve corporate objectives and enhance
competitiveness. Because PRT is not limited to any particular product
platform, technology or vendor, the Company brings valued objectivity to its
clients when advising on technology assessment and selection.
PRT's Strategic Consulting practice includes services such as: (i)
management consulting, (ii) strategic IT planning, (iii) emerging technology
research and knowledge transfer and (iv) "Quality Journey" strategy and
implementation services which assist clients in developing a quality
management function, a
27
<PAGE>
software development life cycle and a continuous improvement work culture.
Before an IT decision is made, PRT reviews alternative courses of action and
works with the client's management to select the best approach and
technologies, outlining milestones and other elements required to implement
viable and effective solutions in a coordinated, efficient, cost effective
manner. PRT's consultants also transfer expertise, practical experience and
technological know-how directly to its clients. New technologies on which PRT
is focusing include: (i) data mining, (ii) data visualization, (iii) data
warehousing, (iv) emerging client/server technologies, (v) intelligent
agents, (vi) Internet/intranet technologies, (vii) object-oriented
technologies and (viii) usability engineering.
An example of the Company's Strategic Consulting practice involved the
establishment of a quality management function within a client's in-house IT
department. The client had worked with PRT's Barbados SDC and was interested
in the Company's PAL framework, quality management organization structure and
team-based work culture. The client engaged PRT to analyze the client's
software development life-cycle and the processes utilized within the
client's applications development organization. When the analysis was
complete and inefficiencies were discovered, the client asked PRT to
implement a "Quality Journey" strategy. This strategy implementation included
modifying PRT's PAL software development framework to fit the client's
environment and goals, as well as restructuring and training staff within
this client's newly created Software Engineering Process Group ("SEPG") and
Software Quality Assurance Group ("SQA"). The SEPG continuously refines the
client's software development processes while the SQA implements the PAL
processes by training and assisting client development teams on quality
solution delivery. Finally, PRT provided experts in each of the new functions
to guide the client's teams and perform selected quality functions as the
team learned to become self sufficient. This project has differentiated PRT
from other competitors and has led to a number of additional assignments from
this client involving the SDCs, Year 2000 solutions and Staff Augmentation.
Project Solutions
PRT's Project Solutions service involves the analysis, design,
implementation, testing and management of highly complex, large scale
software development projects. These projects include application
development, software and hardware platform migration, database design, user
interface design, maintenance outsourcing and mass change renovation and
testing. Such projects are performed using strict software engineering and
project management practices. Projects are developed under the PAL software
development framework onsite at a client's location or at one of PRT's SDCs
located onshore (Connecticut), near-shore (Barbados) or offshore (India,
planned for 1998).
After understanding a client's project and business goals, the Company
begins by performing a project risk analysis and prepares an appropriate plan
to accomplish the desired objectives. PRT applies its PAL software
development framework throughout the full project life cycle from the
planning phase through design, coding, testing, quality assurance and
implementation, regardless of when PRT enters the cycle. Finally, PRT offers
support and maintenance of completed projects on an ongoing basis.
One example of a Project Solutions service that PRT has addressed is the
Year 2000 compliance issue. PRT assembled a team to develop an integrated
solution for a client's mainframe system and determined the process necessary
to resolve the problem. The solution involved using third-party software
tools coupled with a PRT developed framework for assessment, renovation and
testing objectives which became the Company's QA2000 methodology.
Subsequently, the Company modified the QA2000 mainframe methodology to
address client/server system issues. To ensure the solution's effectiveness,
PRT replicated the hardware, software and networking environment of the
client's trading floor at PRT's Barbados SDC to develop appropriate testing
solutions. This project exemplifies the cross-selling and follow-on business
opportunities that PRT has experienced.
Staff Augmentation
Due to the shortage of trained IT professionals, PRT's clients often lack
the in-house personnel or skills necessary to accomplish IT objectives. PRT
provides flexible Staff Augmentation services to fill short-and long-term or
specialized technology skill set needs, generally providing qualified
candidates
28
<PAGE>
within 48 to 72 hours of notification. For most of the Company's clients, PRT
assigns an account management team comprised of a senior account manager, an
account associate and a recruiting coordinator to provide responsive and
timely service. In addition, in order to ensure consistency, quality and cost
effectiveness, many organizations are limiting the number of outside IT
consulting firms they work with to certain preferred vendors. PRT serves as a
preferred vendor to numerous clients including Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.,
J.P. Morgan & Co. Inc., Philip Morris Companies Inc. and The Prudential
Insurance Company of America.
An example of a development of a preferred vendor relationship involved a
client which had over 600 IT consulting firms to provide IT personnel. The
client realized that having such a large number of IT providers created
logistical, cost and quality control issues, and decided to reduce the number
of outside IT consulting firms to a small preferred group of 17. Because PRT
was chosen as one of the preferred vendors, PRT experienced a three-fold
increase in the number of IT professionals placed at the client. The Company
has been able to leverage its preferred vendor relationship to provide higher
margin SDC solutions and Strategic Consulting assignments to this Staff
Augmentation client.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CENTERS
SDCs are the key sites where PRT project solutions are designed,
engineered, constructed, tested and supported in accordance with the
Company's PAL software development framework. Each SDC has a number of
project teams dedicated to clients and separate quality assurance groups to
ensure high-quality, cost-effective solutions. The SDCs have common
infrastructure, organizational units and human resource practices that allow
projects and personnel to be shifted among the SDCs to maximize utilization
rates while meeting client requirements.
As a response to client demands, PRT has opened two SDCs, and a third is
planned to be opened in 1998. In 1994, PRT determined that opening an SDC
near-shore in Barbados, West Indies met all of its requirements, including:
(i) access to trained IT professionals from around the world with no
governmental limitations on work visas, (ii) a favorable wage structure,
(iii) a low tax rate, (iv) a stable political and economic system with a
currency fixed to the U.S. dollar, (v) a modern communications
infrastructure, (vi) an English-speaking population, (vii) a convenient
location with direct flight access from major United States and European
cities (in the same time zone as many PRT clients) and (viii) an exceptional
educational system.
A second SDC was opened in the Hartford, Connecticut area in 1997 in
response to increasing client demands for mainframe programming skills and
Year 2000 services. The Hartford area affords the SDC access to a community
of mainframe programmers and insurance industry expertise catering to the
needs of the large corporations clustered in the northeast United States.
The Company anticipates opening an SDC in Chennai, India in 1998 to
provide services to PRT's European and Far Eastern clients. In addition, this
SDC will act as an emerging technology research and development unit for the
Company and will build proprietary software development tools and object code
for use by all PRT professionals. The Indian SDC will also function as an
additional recruitment and training center.
RECRUITING AND TRAINING
PRT employs 26 recruitment personnel, including 14 in the United States, 7
in India, 3 in Barbados and an additional 2 devoted to other international
recruiting. PRT makes use of a proprietary database to aid in recruiting
high-quality personnel to meet both Project Solutions and Staff Augmentation
needs in terms of skill set and geographic proximity. The Company selects
staff based on appropriate technical skill levels and an assessment of work
style compatibility with PRT and client management and staff.
The Human Resources Department recruits IT professionals globally through
traditional advertisements, the Internet, job fairs, networking through
seminars, user group meetings, expositions and other forums where technical
discussions and/or exhibitions take place. The group utilizes eight different
subcontractor firms and four finders to provide it with additional IT
professionals when necessary. Additionally, the Company has a referral
program providing rewards to PRT's internal staff for locating IT
professionals.
29
<PAGE>
PRT evaluates and qualifies candidates prior to placing them with clients
through an automated technical assessment system. PRT also recognizes the
need to certify its IT professionals in various areas and sponsors
certification as needed. The Company uses its Barbados SDC to develop and
test procedures for assessing and hiring new technical personnel and is also
working with the University of the West Indies to improve its curriculum to
ensure that PRT has qualified local talent to hire.
PRT currently has employment agreements with all of its IT professionals
that are employees as well as with all of the firms it uses to subcontract
non-employee IT professionals. Each of the employment agreements contains
covenants that the employee or subcontractor will not compete with the
Company at the accounts to which the employee or subcontractor was introduced
for a period of 12 months after termination of employment or subcontractor
arrangement with PRT. The employment agreements also contain provisions as to
the ownership by the Company of work product and confidentiality covenants
which apply during and after employment with the Company.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company focuses its marketing efforts on large businesses, primarily
Fortune 500-sized companies, with significant IT budgets and recurring
software development needs. PRT's clients include companies primarily in the
financial services, consumer products, communications and healthcare
industries. The Company's five largest clients in the first nine months of
1997, in alphabetical order, were Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan &
Co. Inc., Mitsubishi International Corp., Philip Morris Companies Inc, and
Prudential Insurance Company of America.
PRT gathers market research by communicating with employees, clients and
consultants and by monitoring business and industry sources. Such resources
also serve as a prospecting and networking mechanism for locating key
decision makers, securing quality referrals and introductions for PRT's
account team and assessing the competitive circumstances and barriers to
entry at prospective or established clients.
PRT generally employs a top-down approach to account penetration and
development. The Company endeavors to establish contacts with Chief Executive
Officers, Chief Information Officers and other senior management through
professional contacts of PRT's senior management, referrals by the Company's
Board of Directors and existing clients, and through client contacts who move
to new employers. The Company has sales and account management locations in
Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Virginia, and employs 20
sales and marketing personnel. Salespeople are compensated on a salary plus
commission basis.
CLIENTS
The Company serves clients in diverse industries which helps to mitigate
cyclical effects in any one industry or market. The Company derives an
additional level of diversification by working with many different operating
divisions within a given client. As of September 1, 1997, the Company
provided services to approximately 50 clients in a range of industries
including, among others, financial services, consumer products,
telecommunications and healthcare. The following is a representative list of
the Company's clients and the year of first engagement:
AT&T Corp. (1993) J.P. Morgan & Co. Inc. (1992)
Boehringer Ingelheim (1993) Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (1993)
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (1990) Mitsubishi International Corp. (1991)
Chesebrough-Pond's, Inc. (1992) Philip Morris Companies Inc. (1993)
Credit Lyonnais (1991) The Prudential Insurance Company
Credit Suisse (1994) of America (1996)
Industrial Bank of Japan, Ltd. (1991) Sanwa Bank, Ltd. (1990)
IBM Global Services (1994) Timex Products, Inc. (1993)
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Wheat First Butcher Singer (1995)
Insurance Company (1992)

<PAGE>
The Company has historically derived, and expects in the future to derive,
a significant percentage of its revenues from a relatively small number of
clients. In 1996, approximately 72% of the Company's revenue was derived from
its five largest clients by dollar volume, with one client accounting for
approximately 28%; during the first nine months of 1997, approximately 73% of
the Company's revenue was derived from its five largest clients, with one
client accounting for approximately 24% of revenues. However, this large
client is comprised of six subsidiaries or divisions with which PRT does
business, none of which comprises more than approximately 14% of PRT's
revenues, and PRT considers each subsidiary to be a separate client because
the individual subsidiaries and divisions make their own purchasing
decisions. As of July 1, 1997, the Company acquired CMR. If CMR had been
acquired on January 1, 1997, on a pro-forma basis during the first nine
months of 1997, approximately 67% of the Company's revenues would have been
derived from its largest five clients and approximately 22% would have been
derived from the Company's largest customer.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., J.P.
Morgan & Co. Inc. and Philip Morris Companies Inc., and for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997, Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan &
Co. Inc., Philip Morris Companies Inc. and The Prudential Insurance Company
of America each accounted for over 10% of PRT's revenues.
COMPETITION
The IT services industry is highly competitive and served by numerous
international, national, regional and local firms, all of which are either
existing or potential competitors of the Company. Primary competitors of PRT
include "Big Six" accounting firms, software consulting and implementation
firms, applications software firms, service groups of computer equipment
companies, general management consulting firms, programming companies and
temporary staffing firms as well as internal IT staff of PRT's clients. The
Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the IT services
industry include the range of services offered, cost, technical expertise,
responsiveness to client needs, speed in delivering IT solutions, quality of
service and perceived value. Based on the Company's experience in competitive
situations, the Company believes that it competes favorably with respect to
these factors.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Company believes that its success and ability to compete is dependent
upon its proprietary systems and technology. The Company relies on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as
confidentiality agreements with its employees, subcontractors, key suppliers
and customers and other measures to establish and protect its technology and
other proprietary rights. The Company does not have any patents. The Company
has copyright protection with respect to certain of its proprietary software,
its Web site and certain marketing materials. In addition, the laws of some
foreign countries may not permit the protection of the Company's proprietary
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. While the Company
relies on trademark, trade secret and copyright laws to protect its
proprietary rights, the Company believes that the technical and creative
skills of its personnel, high-quality service standards, continued
development of its proprietary systems and technology, and brand name
recognition are more important to establish and maintain a leadership
position and strengthen its brand.
As part of its confidentiality procedures, the Company generally enters
into agreements with its employees, subcontractors and certain clients which
limit access to and distribution of its software, documentation and other
proprietary information. There can be no assurance that steps taken by the
Company will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology, that
agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable or that the
Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to
enforce its intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of the
Company's proprietary rights is difficult. Any misappropriation of the
Company's technology or development of competitive technologies could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or
financial condition. The Company could incur substantial costs and
management's attention could be diverted from the Company's operations in
protecting and enforcing its intellectual property. Moreover, there can be no
assurance that claims asserting that its intellectual property rights
infringe on
31
<PAGE>
the intellectual property rights of others will not arise. There can be no
assurance that such a claim will not result in litigation or that the Company
would prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain a license for the use
of any infringing intellectual property from a third party on commercially
reasonable terms if at all in the event of an adverse determination. The
Company typically has agreed to indemnify its customers and key suppliers for
liability in connection with the infringement of a third party's intellectual
property. While the Company is not currently subject to any such claims, any
future claim, with or without merit, could result in material adverse effect
on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.
FACILITIES
The Company leases all of its facilities, consisting of over 108,000
square feet of space in nine locations. PRT currently operates in four types
of facilities: (i) SDCs, (ii) sales and account management offices, (iii)
training and recruiting centers and (iv) administration and operations
offices in New York, New York and Hawthorne, New York. PRT has sales and
account management offices located in Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New
York and Virginia. Currently, the Company operates two SDCs, located in
Barbados, West Indies and in the Hartford, Connecticut area. PRT plans to
open its third SDC in Chennai, India during 1998. The Company currently
operates a recruiting and training center in Mumbai, India.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary
course of its business. In the opinion of management, no material legal
proceedings are pending to which the Company, or any of its property, is
subject.

Agreement provides for a salary of $100,000 on an after-tax basis), in each
case with future raises and other compensation to be determined by the Board
of Director's Compensation Committee.
Under the terms of the Employment Agreements, the Executives will
participate in a performance-based incentive compensation program developed
by the Board of Directors Compensation Committee, with performance goals
based on, among other factors, the financial growth of PRT (PRT Barbados,
with respect to Mr. Viswanathan), and on a basis no less favorable than the
program provides for other executives. The Executives will also be eligible

defined in the Employment Agreements) within 42 months of the effective date
of the Employment Agreements, the Executive will be entitled to receive
continuation of base salary for the shorter of two years and the remainder of
the term. If such termination occurs at any time after the 42nd month of the
term, the Executive will be entitled to receive continuation of base salary
for the shorter of six months and the remainder of the term. In either event,
all benefits that are tied to vesting will vest upon termination of
employment without Cause. If the Executive's employment is terminated by
reason of disability during the term, he will continue to receive base salary
for one year.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Stock Option Plan is designed to align the interests of directors,
officers, other employees and consultants with the interest of the
stockholders, to attract motivate and retain executive personnel and key
employees and to reward their performance. Under the Stock Option Plan,
4,302,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for the grant of
nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options and automatic grants of
nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors, in each case subject to
equitable adjustment in the event of extraordinary transactions or other
events or circumstances affecting the Common Stock.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
CERTAIN FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to a preferred stock purchase agreement (the "Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement") dated November 21, 1996, the Company completed a private
placement of 275,961 shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock for $65.62 per
share or $18.1 million in the aggregate. Immediately prior to the

Stock will be converted into 2,759,610 shares of Common Stock. The Company
will pay in cash to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock 4%
cumulative dividends accrued through the date of this Offering, or $623,000
in the aggregate as of September 30, 1997. Former holders of the Convertible

require the Company to file up to two registration statements with respect to
the 2,759,610 shares of Common Stock which they receive upon conversion of
their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock; the Company shall pay all fees
and expenses (other than underwriting discounts) incurred in connection with
such registration statements. Approximately 28% of the shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock were purchased by the Travelers Insurance
Company, an affiliate of Smith Barney Inc., one of the Underwriters.
Pursuant to a common stock and warrant purchase agreement (the "Unit
Purchase Agreement") dated November 21, 1996, the Company and a stockholder
of the Company who is not currently an employee or director of the Company
completed a private placement of 48,631 units (the "Units"), each comprised
of one share of Common Stock and one warrant convertible into shares of
Common Stock under certain circumstances (which circumstances have not
occurred and will not occur) (the "Unit Warrants"), for $65.62 per Unit or an
aggregate of $3.2 million. The Company received $292,000 of such amount for
the Unit Warrants. All of the 486,310 split-adjusted shares of Common Stock

Company received none of the proceeds thereof. Immediately prior to the
consummation of this Offering, all of the Unit Warrants will expire and will
not be converted into any shares of PRT Common Stock or other securities. The

as a core client to ensure that the design of the Company's Barbados SDC and
operational practices are in compliance with J.P. Morgan's security and
network architectural protocols. In 1996 and 1997, J.P. Morgan Ventures
Corporation ("JPMVC") made advances to PRT Barbados in the amount of $3.7
million in the aggregate (the "Advances"). In consideration for the Advances,
PRT Barbados issued to JPMVC warrants (the "PRT Barbados Warrants") to
purchase up to 24% of the shares of PRT Barbados capital stock. In the first

exchange of the PRT Barbados Warrants for warrants (the "JPMVC PRT Warrants")
to purchase an aggregate of 936,365 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant
Exchange Agreement"). The JPMVCPRT Warrants are only exercisable by
forgiveness of the Advances. Upon consummation of this Offering, the JPMVC
PRT Warrants will be exercised for an aggregate of 936,365 shares of Common
Stock and the Advances will be forgiven. JPMVC has certain piggy-back and
demand contractual rights to require the Company to file up to two

"Warrants"). Upon consummation of this Offering, all of the CMR PRT Warrants
will expire and will not be converted into any shares of PRT Common Stock or
other securities. The former stockholders of CMR have certain piggy-back
registration rights with respect to the 119,181 shares of Common Stock which
they received in the acquisition of CMR.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, 1,000,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock and 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock").
The following description of the capital stock of the Company is a summary
and, as such, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and
qualified in its entirety by reference to, the more complete descriptions
contained in the form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company (the "Certificate") and the form of Amended and Restated By-Laws
of the Company (the "By-Laws"), each as shall be in effect on the date of
this Offering. Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have
18,115,473 shares of Common Stock outstanding, 46,500 shares of Non-Voting
Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. As of
the date hereof, there were 31 record holders of Common Stock and one record
holder of Non-Voting Common Stock.
COMMON STOCK AND NON-VOTING COMMON STOCK
The Certificate provides for two classes of common stock: Common Stock and
Non-Voting Common Stock. The two classes of common stock are substantially
identical except for disparity in voting power.
Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record to one vote, and
each share of Non-Voting Common Stock does not entitle the holder of record
to vote, at each annual or special meeting of stockholders and for all other
purposes. The holders of shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting
rights.
The holders of the Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock will be
entitled to receive dividends and other distributions as may be declared
thereon by the Board of Directors of the Company out of assets or funds of
the Company legally available therefor, subject to the rights of the holders
of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and any other provision of
the Certificate. The Certificate provides that if at any time a dividend or
other distribution in cash or other property is paid on the Common Stock or
Non-Voting Common Stock, a like dividend or other distribution in cash or
other property will also be paid on the Non-Voting Common Stock or Common
Stock, as the case may be, in an equal amount per share. The Certificate
provides that if shares of Common Stock are paid as a dividend on Common
Stock and shares of Non-Voting Common Stock are paid as a dividend on shares
of Non-Voting Common Stock, in an equal amount per share of Common Stock and
Non-Voting Common Stock, such payment will be deemed to be a like dividend or
other distribution. In the case of any split, subdivision, combination or
reclassification of Common Stock or Non-Voting Common Stock, the shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock, or Common Stock, as the case may be, will also be
split, subdivided, combined or reclassified so that the number of shares of
Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding immediately following
such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification will remain in the
same proportion to each other as that which existed immediately prior
thereto.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the holders of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock will be entitled to
receive the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution after
payments to creditors and to the holders of any Preferred Stock of the
Company that may at the time be outstanding, in proportion to the number of
shares held by them, respectively, without regard to class.
In the event of any corporate merger, consolidation, purchase or
acquisition of property or stock, or other reorganization in which any
consideration is to be received by the holders of Common Stock or Non-Voting
Common Stock, the holders of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock will
receive the same consideration on a per share basis, except that the
disparity in voting rights may continue if any portion of such consideration
consists of stock.
The Certificate further provides that each share of Non-Voting Common
Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time at the option
of the holder thereof. Holders of the Common
43
<PAGE>
Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription or
redemption rights, and, except as set forth in the preceding sentence, there
are no conversion or similar rights with respect to such shares. The
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are fully paid
and non-assessable.
The Common Stock has been approved for quotation on The Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "PRTG," subject to notice of issuance.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors, without further stockholder authorization, is
authorized to issue, from time to time, Preferred Stock in one or more
series, to establish the number of shares to be included in any such series
and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of
each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
including dividend rights and preferences over dividends on the Common Stock
and Non-Voting Common Stock, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption
rights, the terms of any sinking fund therefor and rights upon liquidation.
The ability of the Board of Directors of the Company to issue Preferred
Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with financing, acquisitions
and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of discouraging,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company or an unsolicited
acquisition proposal, since the issuance of Preferred Stock could be used to
dilute the share ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain control of
the Company. In addition, because the Board of Directors of the Company has
the power to establish the preferences, powers and rights of the shares of
any such series of Preferred Stock, it may afford the holders of any
Preferred Stock preferences, powers and rights (including voting rights)
senior to the rights of the holders of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common
Stock, which could adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock and
Non-Voting Common Stock. At present, the Company has no plans to issues any
shares of Preferred Stock. See "Risk Factors--Certain Anti-Takeover Effects."
SECTION 203 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
Section 203 ("Section 203") of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the "DGCL") provides, in general, that a stockholder who acquires
more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation subject to
Section 203 (an "Interested Stockholder") but less than 85% of such stock may
not engage in certain Business Combinations (as defined in Section 203) with
the corporation for a period of three years subsequent to the date on which
the stockholder became an Interested Stockholder unless (i) prior to such
date the corporation's board of directors approved either the Business
Combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an Interested
Stockholder or (ii) the Business Combination is approved by the corporation's
board of directors and authorized by a vote of at least 66 2/3% of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the Interested
Stockholder. PRT's Certificate contains a provision electing not to be
governed by Section 203.
CERTAIN CERTIFICATE AND BY-LAW PROVISIONS
The Certificate provides for the Board of Directors to be divided into
three classes, with staggered three-year terms. As a result, only one class
of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their
respective terms.
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the
Company may be effected only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders
and will not be permitted to be taken by written consent in lieu of a
meeting. The Certificate and the By-Laws also provide that special meetings
of stockholders may only be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of
the Board of Directors or the President of the Company. Stockholders will not
be permitted to call a special meeting or to require that the Board of
Directors call a special meeting of stockholders.
The Certificate establishes an advance notice procedure for nomination,
other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, of candidates
for election as directors, as well as for other stockholder proposals to be
considered at annual meetings of stockholders. In general, notice of intent
to nominate
44
<PAGE>
a director or raise business at such meeting must be received by the Company
not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the scheduled annual meeting,
and must contain certain specified information concerning the person to be
nominated or the matter to be brought before the meeting.
Certain provisions contained in the Certificate, including those relating
to the size and classification of the Board of Directors, the removal of
directors, the prohibition on action by written consent, the calling of
special meetings, and advance notice provisions may only be amended by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the total outstanding
voting stock of the Company. In addition, the Certificate provides that the
By-Laws may only be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 80% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company.
The foregoing provisions could have the effect of discouraging, delaying
or making more difficult certain attempts to acquire the Company or to remove
incumbent directors even if some, or even a majority, of the Company's
stockholders were to deem such an attempt to be in the best interest of the
Company and its stockholders. See "Risk Factors--Certain Anti-Takeover
Effects."
LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITY
As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, the Certificate contains a
provision which eliminates the personal liability of a director to the
Company and its stockholders for certain breaches of his fiduciary duty of
care as a director. This provision does not, however, eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) under Delaware statutory provisions making directors personally
liable, under a negligence standard, for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision offers persons
who serve on the Board of Directors of the Company protection against awards
of monetary damages resulting from breaches of their duty of care (except as
indicated above), including grossly negligent business decisions made in
connection with takeover proposals for the Company. As a result of this
provision, the ability of the Company or a stockholder thereof to
successfully prosecute an action against a director for a breach of his duty
of care has been limited. However, the provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or recision based
upon a director's breach of his duty of care. The Commission has taken the
position that the provision will have no effect on claims arising under the
federal securities laws.
In addition, the Certificate and By-Laws provide mandatory indemnification
rights, subject to limited exceptions, to any person who was or is party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. Such
indemnification rights include reimbursement for expenses incurred by such
person in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have 18,115,473 shares
of Common Stock and 46,500 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding. See
"Capitalization." Of these shares, the 4,600,000 shares of Common Stock sold
in this Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by
"affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined under the Securities Act
("Affiliates"), may generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations
of Rule 144 ("Rule 144") under the Securities Act described below. All of the
remaining shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are restricted
securities ("Restricted Shares") within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not
be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an
exemption from registration is available, including the exemption offered by
Rule 144.
Certain of the Company's current stockholders have agreed (the "Lock-Up
Agreements") not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of their shares of
Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the effective date of this
Offering (the "Lock-Up Period") without the prior written consent of Smith
Barney Inc., subject to certain limited exceptions. After the expiration of
the Lock-Up Period (or earlier upon the prior written consent of Smith Barney
Inc.), 13,561,973 of the Restricted Shares (or 12,871,973 Restricted Shares
if the Underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full) may be sold in the
public market subject to Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144, beginning 90 days after the date of this
Offering, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has
beneficially owned Restricted Shares for at least one year, including a
person who may be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company, may sell within
any three-month period a number of shares of Common Stock that does not
exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company (135,620 shares or 128,720 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment is exercised in full) after giving effect to this Offering) or
the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock as reported through the
Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are subject to certain restrictions relating to manner
of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about the
Company. In addition, under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, a person who
is not an Affiliate of the Company at any time 90 days preceding a sale and
who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years would be entitled to
sell such shares immediately following this Offering without regard to the
volume limitations, manner of sale provisions or notice or other requirements
of Rule 144.
Any employee, officer or director of or consultant to the Company who
purchased his or her shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or
contract may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701. Rule
701 permits affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without
complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. Rule 701 further
provides that non-Affiliates may sell such shares in reliance on Rule 144
without having to comply with the public information, volume limitation or
notice provisions of Rule 144. In both cases, a holder of Rule 701 shares is
required to wait until 90 days after the date of this Prospectus before
selling such shares.
Certain holders of the Company's Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock
have rights to require the Company to register their shares under the
Securities Act. See "Certain Transactions--Certain Financing Transactions,"
"--Acquisition of Computer Management Resources, Inc." and "--The Mellinger
Group LLC Registration Rights Agreement."
The Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act, approximately 90 days after the closing of this Offering, to
register an aggregate of 4,302,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Company's Stock Option Plan. See "Management--Executive
Compensation--Stock Option Plan." Accordingly, shares registered under such
registration statement will, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations
applicable to Affiliates, be available for sale in the open market, unless
such options are subject to vesting restrictions or the Lock-Up Agreements.
As of September 30, 1997, 1,416,400 options to purchase shares were outstanding
and 2,885,600 shares of Common Stock remained available for future grant
under the Stock Option Plan.
46
<PAGE>
Prior to this Offering there has been no market for the Common Stock. The
Company can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that market sales of
shares of Common Stock or the availability of shares for sale will have on
the market price prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of
significant numbers of shares of Common Stock in the public market could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and could impair the
Company's future ability to raise capital through an offering of its equity
securities. See "Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale; Registration
Rights."

UNDERWRITING
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions stated in the underwriting
agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") dated the date hereof by and among
the Company, the Selling Stockholders and each of the underwriters named
below (the "Underwriters"), for whom Smith Barney Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation, UBS Securities LLC and Punk, Ziegel &
Company L.P. are acting as representatives (the "Representatives"), has
severally agreed to purchase, and the Company and the Selling Stockholders
have agreed to sell to each such Underwriter, the number of shares of Common
Stock set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares are subject to
approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to certain other conditions.
The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all shares of Common Stock
offered hereby (other than those covered by the over-allotment option
described below) if any such shares are taken.
The Underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares directly to
the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and part of the shares to certain dealers at a price which
represents a concession not in excess of $ per share below the public
offering price. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a
concession not in excess of $ per share to certain other dealers.
After the initial public offering of the shares to the public, the public
offering price and such concessions may be changed by the Underwriters. The
Representatives of the Underwriters have advised the Company that the
Underwriters do not intend to confirm any shares to any accounts over which
they exercise discretionary authority.
The Selling Stockholders have granted to the Underwriters an option,
exercisable for 30 days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to
an aggregate of 690,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus less the
underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters may exercise such
option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, in
connection with the Offering.
The Company, its officers and directors, and certain stockholders of the
Company have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this
Prospectus, they will not, without the prior written consent of Smith Barney
Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares of
Common Stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or evidencing the right to purchase any
shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions.
In connection with this Offering and in compliance with applicable law,
the Underwriters may over-allot (i.e., sell more of the Common Stock than the
total amount shown on the list of Underwriters and participations which
appears above) and may effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the market price of the Common Stock at levels above those
which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may
include placing bids for the Common Stock or effecting purchases of the
Common Stock for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of
the Common Stock or for the purpose of reducing a syndicate short position
created in connection with the Offering. A syndicate short position may be
covered by exercise of the option described above rather than by open-market
purchases. In addition, the contractual arrangements among the Underwriters
include a provision whereby, if, prior to termination of price and trading
restrictions, the Representatives purchase Common Stock in the open market
for the account of the underwriting syndicate and the securities
48
<PAGE>
purchased can be traced to a particular Underwriter or member of the selling
group, the underwriting syndicate may require the Underwriter or selling
group member in question to purchase the Common Stock in question at the cost
price to the syndicate or may recover from (or decline to pay to) the
Underwriter or selling group member in question the selling concession
applicable to the securities in question. The Underwriters are not required
to engage in any of these activities and any such activities, if commenced,
may be discontinued at any time.
Prior to this Offering, there has not been any public market for the
Common Stock of the Company. Consequently, the initial public offering price
for the shares of Common Stock included in this Offering has been determined
by negotiations between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the
Representatives. Among the factors considered in determining such price were
the history of and prospects for the Company's business and the industry in
which it competes, an assessment of the Company's management and the present
state of the Company's development, the past and present revenues and
earnings of the Company, the prospects for growth of the Company's revenues
and earnings, the current state of the economy in the United States and the
current level of economic activity in the industry in which the Company
competes and in related or comparable industries, and currently prevailing
conditions in the securities markets, including current market valuations of
publicly traded companies which are comparable to the Company.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for
the Common Stock or that the Common Stock will trade in the public market
subsequent to the Offering at or above the initial public offering price.
The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters have agreed to
indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.
At the request of the Company, up to 5% of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby are being reserved for sale to certain persons, including PRT
employees and others who have a business relationship with the Company.
Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney"), a Representative and the Lead Manager
in connection with this Offering, provided investment banking services to the
Company in connection with the private placement of the Convertible Preferred
Stock for which it received fees of approximately $1.1 million.
An affiliate of Smith Barney beneficially owns in excess of 10% of the
Company's Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this Offering is being
conducted in accordance with Rule 2720(c), which provides that, the offering
price can be no higher than that recommended by a "qualified independent
underwriter" meeting certain standards ("QIU"). In accordance with this
requirement, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJ") has
assumed the responsibilities of acting as QIU and will recommend an offering
price in compliance with the requirements of Rule 2720. In connection with
the Offering, DLJ is performing due diligence investigations and reviewing
and participating in the preparation of this Prospectus and the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. As compensation for the
services of DLJ as QIU, Smith Barney has agreed to pay DLJ $5,000.
The Underwriters informed the Company that they will not confirm sales to
any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority without prior
written approval of such transactions by the customer.

LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the Common Stock offered hereby and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1995 AND 1996
AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997
(INFORMATION FOR THE
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
PRT Group Inc. ("PRT"), incorporated in the State of Delaware in October
1996, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Company"). The
predecessor corporation to PRT (PRT Corp. of America) was incorporated in the
State of New York on November 7, 1996, it was merged into PRT. The merger was
accounted for as a merger of entities under common control. PRT is a provider
of information technology solutions including; Strategic Consulting, Project
Solutions and Staff Augmentation.
The Company has sales and account management offices located in
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Virginia; software
development centers in Barbados and Connecticut; and a recruitment and
training center in Mumbai, India.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from time and materials are recognized during the period in which
the related services are provided. Revenue from fixed price contracts is
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Cash payments received
but unearned as of December 31, 1995, 1996 and September 30, 1997 are
recorded as deferred revenue.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PRT and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Through October 1996, minority
shareholders' proportionate share of the equity of the Company's consolidated
subsidiaries and income and losses allocable to such minority interests in
excess of their investments have been reflected in the consolidated
statements of operations (see Note 8).
RESEARCH AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
"Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed," the Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop new software
products upon determination that technological feasibility has been
established for the product, whereas costs incurred prior to the
establishment of technological feasibility are charged to expense. Research
and software development costs of approximately $43,000 which commenced in
1997 have been expensed by the Company and are included in selling, general
and administrative expenses. Research and software development costs
capitalized as of September 30, 1997 were $73,000.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair
presentation, have been included. Results of interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of financial instruments approximate their estimated
fair value as a result of variable market interest rates and the short-term
maturity of these instruments.

PRT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September
30, 1997, the Company has substantially all of its cash deposited with one
financial institutions.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciation on furniture and
equipment and computer equipment and software is calculated on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging
from three to seven years. Equipment held under capital leases and leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of
the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes on the liability method as required
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized with respect to the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values
and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is being amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method.
The Company systematically reviews the recoverability of its goodwill by
comparing the unamortized carrying value to anticipated undiscounted future
cash flows. Any impairment is charged to expense when such determination is
made. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997
was $6,000 and $111,000, respectively.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The income (loss) per share amounts in the consolidated statements of
operations have been computed in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 83
("SAB 83") of the Securities and Exchange Commission. SAB 83 requires that
common stock, options and warrants issued within a twelve month period prior
to an initial public offering ("IPO") of common stock, at amounts below the
public offering price, be treated as common stock equivalents outstanding for
all periods presented. In October and December 1996, the Company granted
options to purchase 16,950 and 69,350 shares of common stock at $4.38 and
$5.63 per share, respectively. In May 1997, the Company granted options to
purchase 671,150 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share. The 2,759,610,
936,365 and 119,181 shares issuable upon conversion of the Company's
Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 6), issuable upon exercise of the JPMVC
PRT Warrant (see Note 5) and issued in connection with the CMR acquisition
(see Note 7), respectively, were all deemed to be issued at amounts below the
IPO price. Accordingly, the effect of such transactions and the
aforementioned stock options have all been included in the computation of the
net income (loss) per share for all periods presented in accordance with SAB
83 using an estimated IPO price of $13 per share.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The as adjusted net loss per share has been presented assuming the
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock occurred as of the beginning of
the period.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents
and accounts receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to
accounts receivables are limited due to the creditworthiness of customers
comprising the Company's customer base. Management regularly monitors the
creditworthiness of its customers and believes that it has adequately
provided for any exposure to potential credit losses.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997. Under the new requirements for calculating primary
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants will be
excluded. Statement No. 128 is not expected to have a material impact on the
net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per share.
3. FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Fixed assets include assets under capital lease aggregating approximately
$127,000, $786,000 and $1,368,000 at December 31, 1995, 1996 and September
30, 1997, respectively. The accumulated amortization related to these assets
under capital leases is approximately $24,000, $110,000 and $262,000 at
December 31, 1995, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively.
4. BORROWINGS UNDER LINE OF CREDIT
In May 1997, the Company obtained a $7,000,000 credit facility with a
bank, expiring in June 1998 and bearing interest at the Company's option at
either the bank's prime rate (8.5% at September 30, 1997) or LIBOR plus
2.25%. Borrowings on the credit facility, which are based on 75% of eligible
U.S. accounts receivable, as defined, are collateralized by a security
interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. The credit facility
contains financial covenants relating to PRT's minimum tangible net worth and
working capital. The amount outstanding at September 30, 1997 was $3,000,000.
The Company had a $2,000,000 credit facility with a bank, which expired on
December 31, 1996, bearing interest at 1.5% per annum above the bank's prime
rate (7.75% at December 31, 1996). This facility was secured by the Company's
accounts receivable and other tangible and intangible assets.

5. ADVANCE PAYABLE TO CLIENT
On August 15, 1995, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement
with a client to perform services for which a cash advance of approximately
$1,050,000 was received. During 1996, additional advances totaling
approximately $2,000,000 were received. During 1997, additional advances
totaling $632,000 were received and the original repayment period was
extended. No interest is payable on these outstanding advances. Repayment
commences in February 1998 in nine equal monthly installments which will be
credited to the client against actual monthly charges pursuant to the
agreement.
In connection with the 1996 advances, the subsidiary issued warrants that
entitled the client to purchase approximately 24% of the total outstanding
shares of such subsidiary on a fully diluted basis, for approximately
$3,050,000, at any time between July 1996 and January 1999. In connection
with the 1997 advance, additional warrants were granted, allowing the client
to maintain their effective 24% interest in the subsidiary. The fair value of
the 1996 and 1997 warrants was determined to be $496,000 and $55,000,
respectively. Such amounts were recorded as a discount to the cash advances
received and minority interest in the subsidiary. The fair value of the
warrants was determined based upon the advances received and the loan rates
available to the Company under its line of credit. The advances are being
accreted up to the face value of $3,682,000 using the interest method over
the period the advances are outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 1996
and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the amount accreted was
approximately $163,000 and $176,000, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company and the client agreed to,
among other matters, exchange the subsidiary warrants for warrants to
purchase 936,365 shares of PRT's Common Stock (the "JPMVC PRT Warrant") with
an aggregate exercise price of $3,682,000. The JPMVC PRT Warrant is only
exercisable by forgiveness of the amounts outstanding under the advances
payable to the client in their entirety and is required to be exercised upon
a consummation of an IPO (see Note 15). This exchange was consummated in
September 1997.
The carrying value of the advances consist of the following (in
thousands):

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
STOCK SPLIT
In October 1996, the Company effected a five-for-one stock split of Common
Stock. In addition, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to
increase its authorized shares of Common Stock from 200,000 to 5,000,000
shares with a par value of $0.01 per share. In May 1997, the Company effected
a ten-for-one stock split of Common Stock and amended its certificate of
incorporation to increase its authorized shares from 5,000,000 to 50,000,000
shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. All outstanding share amounts in
the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the
aforementioned stock splits.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES
In November 1996, the Company issued 2,759,610 shares, after giving effect
to the ten for one common stock split, of its Series A Redeemable Preferred
Stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock") for a price of $6.56 per share and
486,310 Warrants (the "Warrants") for a price of $.60 per warrant in a
private placement. The Company incurred approximately $1,277,000 of fees and
related expenses in this transaction.

PRT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)
The difference between the net proceeds received from the sale of the
Convertible Preferred Stock and the liquidation value is being accreted over
the earliest possible liquidation date via a charge to stockholders' equity.
SERIES A REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 4%. Such dividends are payable
quarterly in cash if, as and when declared by the Company's Board of
Directors or otherwise upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock
into Common Stock, redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock or
liquidation of the Company. At December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997,
cumulative dividends in arrears amounted to approximately $80,000 and
$623,000, respectively, which is included in the carrying value of the
Convertible Preferred Stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock of the
Company at any time at the option of the holder or automatically upon the
sale of the Company's Common Stock in a qualifying IPO, as defined. If the
Company does not attain certain specified operating results in fiscal 1997,
the holder would instead receive up to approximately 1.27 shares of Common
Stock for each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock converted. This
conversion rate would further increase if, prior to conversion, the Company
issued Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common
Stock at a price per share of less than $6.56. Upon a request by a holder of
the Convertible Preferred Stock on or after November 21, 2002, the Company
shall redeem the requested number of shares if not previously converted into
shares of Common Stock. To the extent the Company has funds legally available
therefore, and provided that redemption payments do not exceed certain
specified percentages of net income, the Company shall redeem the shares on a
quarterly basis. The redemption price shall be the greater of the liquidation
value of $6.56 per share plus accrued dividends or the current market value,
as defined, of the shares on the redemption date. Accordingly, the Company
has adjusted the value of the Convertible Preferred Stock in the accompanying
balance sheets to reflect the greater of the accreted value or the estimated
fair value of the redemption price. The balance of the Convertible Preferred
Stock at December 31, 1996 reflects the accreted value. The balance of the
Convertible Preferred Stock at September 30, 1997 reflects the estimated fair
value of $13.00 per share. The aforementioned increase in the exchange rate
and redemption obligation of the Convertible Preferred Stock cease upon the
consummation of a qualifying IPO, as defined. However, in October 1997 the
holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to exercise their rights to
convert each share of outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock into one share
of the Company's Common Stock upon the consummation of the Company's proposed
IPO (see Note 15).
WARRANTS
The Warrants were designed to give the holder certain benefits that
holders of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock receive. The Warrants
entitle the holder to receive cumulative distributions at the annual rate of
4% of $65.62. These distributions shall be payable in cash, if as and when
declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. Such distributions may be
paid in cash or Common Stock at the Company's option upon the sale of the
Company's Common Stock in an IPO or liquidation of the Company. A holder of a
Warrant is entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon an exercise only
if the Company does not attain certain specified operating results in fiscal
1997 or, if prior to exercise, the Company has issued Common Stock or
securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share
of less than $6.56 per share. Upon consummation of the IPO, all of these
warrants will expire and will not be converted into any shares of the
Company's Common Stock. At December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997,
distributions in arrears under the Warrants amounted to approximately $14,000
and $110,000, respectively.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
In June 1996, the Company established a Stock Option Plan (the "Option
Plan") for officers, employees, consultants and nonemployee directors to
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock.
F-12

PRT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)
The Option Plan requires the Company to reserve 15% of the total number of
issued and outstanding shares for issuance upon the exercise of options under
the Option Plan. At September 30, 1997, the Company had reserved 4,302,000
shares of Common Stock for the exercise and future grants of stock options
under such Option Plan.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for
determining the type of award, when and to whom awards are granted, the
number of shares and terms of the awards and the exercise price. The exercise
price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock at the date the option is granted. As such, the Company has not
recorded compensation expense in connection with these awards. The options
are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of the
grant. Vesting periods range from immediate vesting to five years.
Activity in the Option Plan is summarized as follows:

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per
share is required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), and has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employees' stock options
under the fair value method provided by that Statement. The fair value of the
options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions for vested and non-vested
options:

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models
require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the
fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options under SFAS 123 is amortized to expense over the options' vesting
period. For the year ended December 31, 1996, pro forma net loss available
for common shareholders and pro forma net loss per share under SFAS 123
amounted to approximately ($3,441,000) and $(0.27), respectively, and
($21,553,000) and $(1.54), respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $1.45 and
$2.94, respectively. At September 30, 1997 there were 72,200 and 89,375 of
1996 and 1997 options exercisable, respectively. The weighted average
exercise price of the 1996 and 1997 options exercisable is $4.41 and $12.00,
respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the 1996 and
1997 options exercisable is 8.5 and 9.6 years, respectively.
7. ACQUISITION
Effective July 1, 1997, the Company purchased all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Computer Management Resources, Inc. ("CMR") for
approximately $6,294,000. CMR is a provider of information technology
services. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the aggregate price was allocated to the underlying assets and
liabilities based upon their respective fair values at the date of the
acquisition. The excess of costs over net assets acquired, estimated to be
approximately $6,100,000, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
twenty years.
The purchase price consisted of $2,864,000 in cash, 119,181 shares of the
Company's Common Stock valued at approximately $1,430,000, or $12.00 per
share, and a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the "CMR
Note"). The CMR Note, which is secured by a $1,000,000 letter of credit,
bears interest at 9.75% per annum with the principal balance due no later
than July 18, 2002. Payment of the CMR Note, in part or in full prior to its
maturity, is subject to a prepayment premium, as defined. Upon completion of
an IPO of the Company's Common Stock, as defined, the Company is required to
(i) prepay the lesser of (a) $1,000,000 or (b) the outstanding principal
balance plus, in either case, the prepayment premium, as defined or (ii)
obtain an additional letter of credit for an amount equal to the difference
between the existing letter of credit and the outstanding principal balance
at that date.
After December 31, 1999, provided an IPO of the Company's Common Stock has
not occurred, the Company is required to repurchase in quarterly installments
the shares issued under the Agreement at the greater of $10.90 per share or
the fair market value per share, as defined, on the repurchase date.
Furthermore, if the IPO price is less than $10.90 per share, the Company is
required to issue additional shares so that the market value of the shares
issued in the acquisition is at least $1,300,000.
The table below sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30,
1997 assuming consummation of the CMR acquisition as of January 1, 1996 and
1997, respectively:

8. ACQUISITION OF MINORITY INTERESTS
In October 1996, the Company acquired, in exchange for 421,500 shares of
its Common Stock, the 20% interest in the outstanding shares of a subsidiary
that was owned by a non-operating holding company that was owned by certain
controlling stockholders of the Company. In addition, the Company acquired,
in exchange for 105,380 shares of its Common Stock, the 5% interest in the
outstanding shares of the subsidiary that were owned by the president of the
subsidiary, who was not previously a stockholder of the Company.
The Company recorded the Common Stock issued to the related entity at that
entity's carrying value of its investment in the subsidiary of approximately
$15,000. The Company recorded the Common Stock issued to the president of the
subsidiary at the estimated value of $5.96 per share, or approximately
$628,000, based on the price at which shares of the Company's Common Stock
were sold by certain investors to third parties in November 1996 (see Note
6). At the time of this transaction, the subsidiary's liabilities exceeded
the value of its tangible assets. This additional investment by the Company
was attributable to goodwill and recorded as such in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the $1,000,000 letter of credit related to the CMR
Note, the Company is required to maintain a compensating cash balance of
$1,000,000 with a bank.
There are certain claims against the Company arising in the ordinary
course of its business. The amount of liability, if any, with respect to
these claims at September 30, 1997 is not presently determinable. However, in
the opinion of management, the ultimate liability related to such claims, if
any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.
12. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
In 1995, the Company established a 401(k) plan (the "Plan") covering all
its eligible employees. The Plan is currently funded by voluntary salary
deductions by plan members and is limited to the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes. The Company is not required to make
contributions to the Plan however, employer contributions may be made on a

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AND THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 (INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 1997
AND FOR THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Computer Management Resources, Inc. ("CMR") was incorporated in the State
of Connecticut in March 1981. CMR is a provider of information technology
services.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from time and materials contracts is recognized during the period
in which the related services are provided. At February 28, 1997 and June 30,
1997, cash payments received but unearned are recorded as deferred revenue.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
CMR considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 1997,
CMR has substantially all of its cash in one financial institution.
INCOME TAXES
For income taxes purposes, CMR is on the cash basis of accounting. For
financial statement purposes, CMR accounts for income taxes on the liability
method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized with respect to the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying values and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment
date.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject CMR to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts
receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts
receivables are limited due to the credit worthiness of customers comprising
CMR's customer base. Management regularly monitors the creditworthiness of
its customers and believes that it has adequately provided for any exposure
to potential credit losses.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial statements at June 30, 1997 and for the four months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals
necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Results of the interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire year.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.

COMPUTER MANAGEMENT RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
3. BORROWINGS UNDER LINE OF CREDIT
CMR had a $250,000 credit facility with a bank. The line of credit, which
terminated in July 1997, had an interest rate of 1.0% per annum above the
bank's prime rate (8.25% at February 28, 1997). This Facility was secured by
substantially all of the assets of CMR.
4. INCOME TAXES
The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following:

============= ============ ==========
</TABLE>
Temporary differences which represent a significant portion of the
deferred tax liability are attributable to certain cash to accrual
adjustments.
5. SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS
During the year ended February 28, 1997, revenues from three clients
represented 23%, 14% and 10% of total revenues.
6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
CMR has a 401(k) plan (the "Plan") in which all eligible employees can
contribute a portion of their compensation up to a maximum amount allowable
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. CMR is not required to make
contributions to the Plan, however, employer contributions may be made on a
discretionary basis. For the year ended February 28, 1997 and the four months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, CMR did not make contributions to the Plan.

7. COMMITMENTS
Total rent expense charged to operations was approximately $76,000,
$28,000 and $25,000 for the year ended February 28, 1997 and the four months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments relating to office space under noncancelable
operating leases as of February 28, 1997 are $81,600 (1998), $81,600 (1999)
and $54,400 (2000).
8. CONTINGENCIES
In January 1996, an action was commenced against CMR whereby a former
employee alleged that he was a shareholder of CMR and that CMR failed to pay
him for the fair market value of his shares upon his termination and failed
to pay him his 1994 bonus. Plaintiff's counsel has stated a damage claim of
$500,000. Because discovery in this matter has not yet been completed, an
evaluation of the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome or an
estimate of the range of any potential loss is not possible at this time. CMR
management has rejected the plaintiff's demand and intends to vigorously
contest this matter. CMR management believes that the eventual outcome will
not have a material adverse effect on CMR's results of operations, cash flows
or financial condition.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective July 1, 1997, PRT Group Inc. purchased all of the outstanding
shares of CMR's common stock for $6,294,000. On such date, CMR ceased to
operate as a separate entity. The stockholders of CMR have contractually
agreed to indemnify PRT Group Inc. for any amounts incurred with respect to
the litigation described in Note 8.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
As authorized by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, each director and officer of PRT Group Inc. ("PRT" or the
"Company") may be indemnified by PRT against expenses (including attorney's
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any
threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings in which he is involved by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of PRT if he acted
in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of PRT and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful. However, if the legal proceeding is by or in the right of PRT, the
director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to PRT unless a court determines
otherwise.
In addition, PRT's By-Laws provide that PRT shall indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person who
was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise
involved in, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact that
he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of PRT or is or was serving at the
request of PRT as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company
or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all
liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person.
PRT shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding
initiated by such person only if the Proceeding was authorized by the Board
of Directors of PRT.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Set forth below is information with respect to the securities of the
Company issued or sold by the Company within the last three years that were
not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") and issued under the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act. Except as set forth below, all sales were to
sophisticated accredited investors. Except as set forth below, no
underwriters were involved in any of the sales and no underwriting discounts
or commissions were accrued or paid. The following information is adjusted to
take into account a 10-for-1 stock split effectuated by the Company in May,
1997; unless stated otherwise herein, all share numbers set forth in this
Registration Statement have been retroactively restated to give effect to
this split.
(a) In November 7, 1996, PRT Corp. of America, a New York corporation and
the predecessor corporation to the Company, was merged (the "Merger") with
and into the Company with the Company surviving; in the Merger, each issued
and outstanding share of common stock of PRT Corp. of America was converted
into one share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company
(the "Common Stock"). The primary purposes of the Merger were to change the
name and state of incorporation of the Company. No material changes to the
Company's capital structure or accounts resulted from the Merger.
II-1
<PAGE>
(b) On November 21, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 275,961
shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Convertible Preferred Stock"), convertible into 2,759,610 shares of
Common Stock, for $65.62 per share or $18.1 million in the aggregate. Smith
Barney Inc., an affiliate of Travelers Group Inc., was paid fees of
approximately $1.1 million in connection with this private placement and the
private placement described in Item 15(c) below.
(c) On November 21, 1996, the Company and a stockholder of the Company who
is not currently an employee or director of the Company completed a private
placement of 486,310 split-adjusted units (the "Units"), each comprised of
one share of Common Stock and one warrant convertible into shares of Common
Stock under certain circumstances (the "Warrants"), for $6.56 per Unit or
$3.2 million in the aggregate. The Company received approximately $292,000
for the Warrants. All of the 486,310 split-adjusted shares of Common Stock
were sold by a stockholder of the Company and the Company received none of
the proceeds thereof. Upon consummation of this Offering, all of the Warrants
will expire and will not be converted into any shares of PRT Common Stock or
other securities.
(d) On July 16, 1996 and April 18, 1997, the Company and PRT Barbados
entered into agreements providing for advances to PRT Barbados of
approximately $3.7 million in the aggregate (the "Advances") by J.P. Morgan
Ventures Corporation ("JPMVC"). In consideration for the Advances, PRT
Barbados issued to JPMVC warrants (the "PRT Barbados Warrants") to purchase
up to 24% of the authorized shares of PRT Barbados capital stock. On
September 16, 1997, the Company and JPMVC entered into an agreement providing
for, among other things, the exchange of the PRT Barbados Warrants for
warrants (the "JPMVC PRT Warrants") to purchase 936,365 shares of Common
Stock. The JPMVC PRT Warrants are only exercisable by forgiveness of the
Advances. Upon consummation of this Offering, the JPMVC PRT Warrants will be
exercised for 936,365 split adjusted shares of Common Stock and the Advances
will be forgiven.
(e) During 1996, the Company granted various incentive stock options to
purchase 517,600 shares of Common Stock to certain employees and directors of
the Company at a weighted average exercise price of $4.55 per share. All of
the options are exercisable in either three or four annual installments,
commencing one year from the date of the grant.
(f) During 1997, the Company granted various incentive stock options to
purchase 468,450 shares of Common Stock to certain employees and directors of
the Company at a weighted average price of $12.00 per share. All of the
options become exercisable in annual installments, at the rate of 33 1/3% or
25% commencing on the first anniversary of the date of the grant except for
directors for whom 50% of those options became execisable immediately.
(g) On June 1, 1997, Isaac Shapiro, a director of the Company, exercised
non qualified stock options and purchased 1,500 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $4.38 per share.
(h) As of July 1, 1997, the Company acquired Computer Management
Resources, Inc. ("CMR") for an aggregate of $6.3 million in cash, a note,
119,181 shares of Common Stock and certain warrants convertible into shares
of Common Stock under certain circumstances (which circumstances have not
occurred and will not occur) (the "CMR PRT Warrants"). Upon consummation of
this Offering, all of the CMR PRT Warrants will expire and will not be
converted into any shares of Common Stock or other securities.
(i) On August 1, 1997, Douglas K. Mellinger, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, and Gregory S. Mellinger, Chief Operating Officer and Director,
exercised non-qualified stock options and each purchased 6,250 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.38 per share.
(j) On August 1, 1997, Greg D. Adams, Senior Vice President Finance and
Administration of the Company, exercised incentive stock options and
purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.38 per
share.
(k) On September 16, 1997, the Company granted non qualified stock options
to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock to Esther Dyson, a newly elected
director of the Company, at an exercise price of $13.50 per share. The
options are exercisable in two equal installments commencing immediately and
one year from the date of the grant.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required
by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by the
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Re: PRT Group Inc. Registration
Statement on Form S-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to PRT Group Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with (a) the public offering by certain
stockholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders") of (i) up to 1,250,000
shares (the "Outstanding Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share ("Common Stock"), and (ii) up to 190,000 shares (the
"Conversion Shares") of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of up to 258,000
shares (the "Preferred Shares") of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share (in each case including shares of Common Stock
to be sold to cover over-allotments) and (b) the issuance and sale by the
Company of up to 3,850,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Company Shares").
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of
Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act").
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-36169) as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
<PAGE>
PRT Group Inc.
November 19, 1997
Page 2
"Commission") on September 23, 1997 under the Act, Amendment No. 1 thereto
filed with the Commission on October 29, 1997, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed
with the Commission on November 13, 1997 and Amendment No. 3 thereto filed with
the Commission on the date hereof (as so amended, the "Registration
Statement"); (ii) the form of Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting
Agreement") proposed to be entered into among the Company, the Selling
Stockholders, and Smith Barney Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, UBS Securities LLC and Punk, Ziegel & Company L.P., as
representatives of the underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"), filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; (iii) a specimen certificate
evidencing the Common Stock; (iv) the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company, as presently in effect, and the form of Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to become effective prior to
consummation of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement; (v)
the By-Laws of the Company, as presently in effect, and the form of Amended and
Restated By-laws of the Company to become effective prior to consummation of
the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement; and (vi) certain
resolutions of the stockholders of the Company and of the Board of Directors of
the Company and drafts of certain resolutions (the "Draft Resolutions") of a
Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. We have also
examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates
of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the
Company and others, and such other documents, certificates and records as we
have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth
herein.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. In making our
examination of documents executed or to be executed by parties other than the
Company, we have assumed that such parties had or will have the power,
corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and
have also
<PAGE>
PRT Group Inc.
November 19, 1997
Page 3
assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and
execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and
binding effect thereof. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed
herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied
upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of
the Company and others.
In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 below, we have
assumed that the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares and the Company
Shares will conform to the specimen certificate examined by us, will be
manually signed by an authorized officer of the transfer agent and registrar
for the Common Stock and will be duly registered by such transfer agent and
registrar.
Members of our firm are admitted to the bar in the State of New York, and
we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction, except the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are fully paid and nonassessable.
2. The Conversion Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when
the Preferred Shares have been converted into the Conversion Shares in
accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Conversion
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3. When (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company in the form examined by us has been filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware and has become effective; (ii) the Registration
Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective
amendments and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement), becomes effective;
(iii) the Draft Resolutions have been adopted by the Pricing Com-
<PAGE>
PRT Group Inc.
November 19, 1997
Page 4
mittee; (iv) the price at which the Company Shares are to be sold to the
Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and other matters relating
to the issuance and sale of the Company Shares have been approved by the
Pricing Committee in accordance with the Draft Resolutions; (v) the
Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered; and (vi) the
Company Shares are delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters at a price per
share not less than the per share par value of the Common Stock as contemplated
by the Underwriting Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Company Shares will
have been duly authorized, and the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to
our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. We
further consent to the incorporation of this opinion by reference as an exhibit
to any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm
under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus included or incorporated by
reference in any such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. In giving this
consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Commission.
Very truly yours,
