PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary is not a substitute for the more detailed information,
financial statements and the notes to the financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. JAWZ' actual results could
differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward looking
statements as a result of the factors set forth under "Risk Factors" and
elsewhere in this prospectus.
Company Summary
JAWZ is currently the parent corporation of five subsidiaries. Our
operating companies are JAWZ Canada Inc. and JAWZ USA Inc. and JAWZ Illinois,
Inc., an Illinois corporation (formerly named Nucleus Consulting, Inc.). Our
other two subsidiaries, which are non-operating, are JAWS Acquisition
Corporation and JAWS Acquisition Canada Corporation, both of which subsidiaries'
sole purpose is to facilitate acquisitions of Canadian operating entities.
JAWZ operates under a vertical business model, with six target
verticals; namely, Financial Services, Health Care, Cyber-crime & Forensics,
Government, Telecommunications (which includes ISP's and ASP's), and Strategic &
Emerging Markets.
Both of JAWZ' two material operating subsidiaries, JAWZ Canada and JAWZ
USA, specialize in the field of information security including, without
limitation, within the six target verticals, providing consulting services and
software solutions to minimize the threats to clients' information and
communications. The overall strategic goal for JAWZ is to consolidate the highly
fragmented information security industry, achieve increasing economies of scale
through the acquisition of high growth, emerging market operating entities and
integrating such operating entities through centralized administration and
planning. Through industry and management expertise, JAWZ attempts to ensure
that acquired companies' receive the capital and corporate planning necessary to
maximize the growth potential within each information security niche.
JAWZ also has developed or purchased several strategic horizontal
products or services, each of which it offers to its customers across all
verticals. These products and services include managed services (which includes
JAWZ Secure Network Storage offering) and managed security services,
professional services and professional security services, JAWZ products (such as
encryption products and custom public key infrastructure products) and third
party products (such as fraud detection products, firewall products and virus
protection products).
In addition to the vertical business model outlined above, and a
horizontal offering of products and services across all verticals, JAWZ also has
developed several niche areas of expertise. At its offices in Calgary, Alberta,
JAWZ Canada develops proprietary encryption software using what is currently one
of the world's strongest encryption algorithms, L5, to secure binary data in
various forms, including streamlining or blocking data. JAWZ Secure Network
Storage offers secure, fully automated on-line backup, retrieval and storage
services through the Internet from its data center in Calgary. At its offices in
Toronto, Ontario, JAWZ' financial information technology security solutions
services are provided and include services in the area of payment systems,
including POS/ABM EFT switch implementation, point of sale application and
device integration, network architecture and design, system integration and
project management.
On September 29, 2000, JAWZ amended its certificate of incorporation to
change its name from "JAWS Technologies, Inc." to "JAWZ INC." The name change is
part of JAWZ overall marketing strategy and is deemed by JAWZ' management to be
a valuable mechanism to broadly convey JAWZ' identity and thereby exposure of
its products and services in the marketplace. On July 7, 2000, JAWZ changed its
state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware, which was effected upon
obtaining requisite stockholder approval and approval by JAWZ' board of
directors, by merging JAWZ Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with and
into JAWZ (formerly named Jaws Technologies, Inc.), a new Delaware corporation
and formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWZ. Upon consummation of the
reincorporation in the State of Delaware, JAWS Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, ceased to exist and JAWZ INC., a Delaware corporation, continues to
operate the business of JAWZ under its current name JAWZ INC. JAWZ was
originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 27, 1997 under the
name "e-biz" solutions, inc. On February 10, 1998, "e-biz" solutions, inc.
entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of JAWS Technologies Inc., an Alberta corporation, incorporated on
September 18, 1997, in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the restricted common
stock of "e-biz" solutions, inc. and options to purchase 400,000 shares of
restricted common stock at $0.50 per share. On March 27, 1998, "e-biz"
solutions, inc. changed its name to JAWS Technologies, Inc. JAWZ registered
offices are located at The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, in the
City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19801 and our head office is located
at 12 Concorde Gate, Suite 900,Toronto, Ontario, Canada M36 3N6. Our website is
located at www.jawzinc.com.

RISK FACTORS
Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below before making an investment decision. These risks and
uncertainties are not the only ones facing JAWZ. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may
also impair JAWZ' business operations.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial
condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In such case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of
your investment.
Risks Relating to Ownership of JAWZ Common Stock
JAWZ common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market,
which delisting could hinder your ability to obtain accurate quotations as to
the price of JAWZ common stock, or dispose of JAWZ common stock in the secondary
market
Although JAWZ common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq National
Market, JAWZ cannot guarantee that an active public market for its common stock
will continue to exist. JAWZ common stock is required to maintain a minimum bid
price of $1.00 per share in order to trade on the Nasdaq National Market. In the
event that JAWZ common stock fails to maintain the minimum bid price criteria,
JAWZ common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market or be required
to reapply for listing meeting the Nasdaq initial listing requirements, which
are generally more stringent that the requirements currently governing JAWZ.
Additional factors giving rise to such delisting could include, but might not be
limited to (1) a reduction of JAWZ' net tangible assets below $4,000,000, (2) a
reduction to one active market maker, (3) a reduction in the market value of the
public float in JAWZ' securities to less than $5,000,000, or (4) the discretion
of the Nasdaq National Market.
Nasdaq National Market trading, if any, of JAWZ common stock would
thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter markets of the National
Association of Securities Dealers. Consequently, the liquidity of JAWZ common
stock would likely be impaired, not only in the number of shares which could be
bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of the transactions,
reduction in the coverage of JAWZ by securities analysts and the news media, and
possibly lower prices for our securities than might otherwise prevail.
High volume of shares eligible for sale pursuant to this prospectus
The resale of the 20,929,572 shares of common stock registered in the
Company's registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part could
adversely affect the price of the shares of common stock. As of November 10,
2000, there were 30,965,089 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. No
prediction can be made as to the effect that future sales of shares of common
stock, or the availability of shares of common stock for future sales, will have
on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of
substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales could
occur could adversely effect prevailing market prices for the common stock.
The volatility of the stock markets could adversely affect our stock
price
Stock markets are subject to significant price and volume fluctuations
which may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies and
the market price of JAWZ common stock may frequently change. The market price of
JAWZ common stock could also fluctuate substantially due to a variety of other
factors, including: quarterly fluctuations in JAWZ results of operations, JAWZ'
ability to meet analysts' expectations, adverse circumstances affecting the
introduction of market acceptance of new products and services offered by JAWZ,
announcements of new products and services by competitors, changes in the
information technology environment, changes in earnings estimates by analysts,
changes in accounting principles, sales of JAWZ common stock by existing holders
and loss of key personnel.
JAWZ does not anticipate paying dividends on its Common Stock in the
foreseeable future
JAWZ has generated minimal cash flow in the past and does not currently
anticipate generating significant cash flows from operations in the near future.
Therefore, JAWZ has not paid any dividends on its common stock to date and plans
to retain earnings, if any, for the continued development and expansion of JAWZ'
business operations. Accordingly, potential investors should not acquire shares
of JAWZ common stock with the investment objective of receiving dividend income
from JAWZ.
An investment in JAWZ may be diluted
JAWZ may issue a substantial number of shares of JAWZ common stock or
preferred stock without investor approval. Any such issuance of JAWZ securities
in the future could reduce an investor's ownership percentage and voting rights
in JAWZ and further dilute the value of his or her investment.

Penny Stock Rules limit the liquidity of JAWZ Common Stock
JAWZ common stock has recently been included for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market System at a price between $1.00 and $2.50 per share, and,
therefore, may now and in the future be subject to the penny stock rules under
the Exchange Act. These rules regulate broker-dealer practices for transactions
in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of
less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson and monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and
the broker dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the
customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be
given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction,
the broker and/or dealer must make a special written determination that the
penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These additional penny stock
disclosure requirements are burdensome and may reduce purchases of this offering
and reduce the trading activity in the market for JAWZ common stock. As long as
JAWZ common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, holders of such JAWZ
common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
Risks Relating to the Business of JAWZ
JAWZ' proceeds from available financing may not be sufficient to pursue
its operating objectives
Developing, manufacturing and marketing software and information
security solutions and the plans of JAWZ for expansion of its operations, as
mentioned above, will require significant amounts of capital. Because JAWZ has
no significant internal revenues to finance its continuing operations and plans
for expansion, JAWZ is dependent upon the proceeds from sales of JAWZ'
securities to satisfy its capital and operating requirements. JAWZ believes that
it has adequate financing to satisfy its capital and operating requirements
through the end of 2000. Thereafter, JAWZ will have to arrange for additional
financing, unless it can generate revenues from its products and services, to
finance its manufacturing and marketing operations at a sufficient level.
Financing options could include, but will not be limited to, additional sales of
JAWZ' securities or an operating line of credit. JAWZ will need, and is
considering, financing beyond this period including strategic partnerships,
public or private equity and/or debt financing. No assurance can be given,
however, that JAWZ will be able to obtain additional financing on terms
acceptable to the Company, if at all. If JAWZ fails to obtain financing, or
fails to obtain financing on terms favorable to JAWZ, JAWZ may be unable to
continue to complete the commercialization of its products, or continue its
current operations as presently conducted, if at all.
JAWZ and its subsidiaries have limited operating histories and
continued operating losses
Generally, JAWZ and its subsidiaries have short operating histories,
limited sales and insignificant operating revenues. For example, JAWZ Canada was
incorporated on September 19, 1997, did not begin producing software until
October 1997 and did not begin marketing software until May 1998.
Because of JAWZ short operating history and limited sales, it faces all
the risks and problems associated with a new business, including the existence
of operating losses. For example, between the time of the incorporation of JAWZ
and September 30, 2000, JAWZ has, on a consolidated basis, incurred cumulative
losses of $28,042,866. JAWZ anticipates that losses will continue in the future
unless it is able to produce revenue from sales of its software.
JAWZ cannot be certain that the operations of Pace, Nucleus, GNS,
4Comm, BSI and BASI, that have been integrated into JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA,
can sustain profitability in any future period. Potential investors should be
aware that JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA operate in a new and rapidly evolving market
and must respond to competitive developments, continue to upgrade and expand the
services it offers and continue to attract, retain and motivate employees in
order to maintain its profitability.
JAWZ cannot predict future revenues and operating results of JAWZ
Canada and JAWZ USA nor can it predict the operating expenses of JAWZ Canada and
JAWZ USA based on previous results for a number of reasons including the factors
described below. The revenues associated with a particular sale may vary
significantly depending upon the number of products licensed by a client, the
number of devices used by the client and the client's relative need for the
services of JAWZ Canada and/or JAWZ USA. Large individual sales or even minor
delays in customer orders can cause significant variation in licensing revenues
and results of operations for a particular period. In addition, JAWZ expects
each of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA to increasingly focus its efforts on the sale
of enterprise-wide security solutions, including JAWZ Amalco's entire product
suite and the related services of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA, as opposed to the
sale of component products. As a result, JAWZ anticipates that each sale made by
each of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA may require additional time and effort from
sales staff. Further, JAWZ expects each of JAWZ Canada and
NY/312749.2
11/22/00

<PAGE>
JAWZ USA to expand upon the services it provides as well as its sales and
marketing operations and to improve its internal operating and financial
systems. Finally, to enhance the market share of each of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ
USA and the services they offer, JAWZ intends to seek additional candidates for
acquisition. As a result, spending levels for each of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA
will be established by JAWZ based, in large part, on expected future revenues.
If the revenues of any of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA and actual results in any
future period fall below the expectations of JAWZ, the operating results of JAWZ
will be adversely affected. Due to these factors, JAWZ anticipates that the
quarterly and annual revenues, expenses and operating results of each of JAWZ
Canada and JAWZ USA will vary significantly in the future.
JAWZ is a defendant in pending litigation which could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
On August 10, 2000, Bristol Asset Management LLC, an investor in JAWZ,
filed a complaint against JAWZ and Robert Kubbernus in Los Angeles Superior
Court. The complaint alleges breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, and
breach of fiduciary duty and unfair competition (Cal. Bus. Code s. 17200) . On
October 3, 2000, we filed an answer to the Complaint in the Los Angeles Superior
Court in which we have denied substantially all of Bristol's material
allegations and listed eighteen affirmative defenses. No assurance can be given
that Bristol will not succeed in whole or in part on the claims made or that the
damages, if any, associated with Bristol's claims will not have a material
adverse effect on our operations and our financial position.
If we cannot protect our copyright, trademark and patents pending,
other companies could use our technology in competitive products. If we infringe
on the copyrights, trademarks or patents of others, other companies could
prevent us from developing or marketing our products.
JAWZ' success depends upon, amongst other things, its proprietary
encryption technology. We rely on a combination of contractual rights,
copyright, trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, non-disclosure agreements and
technical measures to establish and protect these rights. We cannot assure
investors that we can protect our rights and prevent third parties from using or
copying our technology or intellectual property.
JAWZ does not presently own any patents or copyright registrations but
it has filed a U.S. patent application for its data encryption algorithm L5,
which is pending. However, there is no guarantee JAWZ will be successful and
receive a patent.
JAWZ believes that its technologies have been independently developed
and that these technologies do not infringe on the proprietary rights or trade
secrets of others. However, we cannot assure investors that it has not infringed
on the technologies of third parties or that third parties will not make
infringement violation claims against us. Any infringement claims against JAWZ
may negatively effect JAWZ' ability to produce and sell software.
International companies currently use all or a portion of the name
"JAWZ" in connection with products or services in industries the same as and
different from that of JAWZ. While JAWZ is attempting to qualify under a
trademark its name throughout the U.S. and Canada, significant issues may be
present as to the ability to widely use the name in connection with the products
or services to be rendered by JAWZ.
Recent acquisitions include inherent risks
JAWZ has recently acquired Pace, Offsite, Nucleus, BSI, BASI, 4Comm and
GNS, and substantially all of the assets of Secure Data Technologies Corporation
("SDTC") and JAWZ may acquire or invest in other businesses, technologies and
product lines from time to time that are complementary to our business. These
recent acquisitions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in such
transactions, including, among others, the difficulty of assimilating the
operations and personnel of the acquired businesses, the potential disruption of
our ongoing business, the diversion of our management from our day-to-day
operations, our ability to incorporate acquired technologies successfully into
our products and services, the additional expense associated with amortization
of acquired intangible assets, the potential impairment of our relationships
with our employees, customers and strategic partners, our ability to retain key
technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business and our ability to
maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies. We would also
encounter these risks if we acquire or invest in the other businesses in the
future. Because of these and other factors, the recent acquisitions and any
future acquisitions, if consummated, could negatively impact our business,
operating results and financial condition.
JAWZ' business is in an early stage of market development and its
success depends on market acceptance of its products and services
JAWZ' success depends on whether or not our products and services are
accepted in the marketplace. Investors should be aware that companies
introducing new products into the market are subject to a high level of
uncertainty and risk. Because the market for its software and services is new
and evolving, JAWZ cannot predict the size and future growth rate, if any, of
the market. JAWZ cannot assure investors that the market for its various
products and services will develop or that demand for such products and services
will emerge or become economically sustainable. Market acceptance of its
products and services depends on its ability to establish brand images and
reputations for high quality
NY/312749.2
11/22/00
7
<PAGE>
and to differentiate their products and services from competitors. There can be
no assurance that the products and services will be perceived as being of high
quality or better than products and services of others, or that JAWZ will be
successful in establishing their brand image. Additionally, the management teams
of JAWZ has no experience manufacturing or marketing software or providing
services on a large scale. This lack of experience could result in JAWZ' failure
to commercialize and sell its products and services.
JAWZ may not be able to continue to compete in its rapidly changing
industry
Rapid changes in technology pose significant risks to JAWZ that it
cannot either control or influence the forces behind such changes. In addition
to emerging competition, evolving requirements and needs of clients and the
extent to which hackers and others seek to compromise secure systems, JAWZ must
adapt to changing computer hardware and software standards as well as to
frequent introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products.
The success of JAWZ will depend on its ability to create, develop, adapt and
improve information technology solutions in response to these and other changes.
JAWZ cannot assure investors that it will be able to successfully
identify new opportunities and develop and bring new products and services to
market in a timely manner, nor can JAWZ guarantee investors that products and
services developed by its competitors will not make JAWZ products and services
noncompetitive or obsolete. Further, the techniques used by hackers to
compromise the security of networks and intranets are constantly evolving and
are increasingly sophisticated. Because new hacking techniques are usually not
recognized until utilized against one or more targets, JAWZ is not able to
anticipate such techniques. To the extent that new hacking techniques result in
the compromise of JAWZ security systems, affected clients may believe that JAWZ
products and services are ineffective and may affect JAWZ business, operating
results and financial condition.
Because JAWZ products and services involve complex technology, major
new products and product enhancements require a long time to develop and test
before going to market. JAWZ cannot assure investors that it will have the
capital resources or the ability to implement any new technology or service. In
addition, because it is difficult to estimate the amount of time which is
required to develop new products and product enhancements, JAWZ has had to delay
the scheduled introduction of new and enhanced products in the past and JAWZ may
have to delay the introduction of new products, enhancements and services in the
future. Any failure by JAWZ to timely develop and introduce new products and
services or enhance current products and services could adversely affect JAWZ
business, operating results and financial condition.
Further, the market for network security monitoring, detection and
response solutions is intensely competitive and Pace expects competition to
increase in the future. JAWZ cannot guarantee that each of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ
USA will compete successfully against current or potential competitors,
especially those with significantly greater financial resources or brand name
recognition. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share for JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA.
The competitors of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ US generally fall within one of
the following four categories:
(a) internal information technology departments of clients and the
consulting firms that assist them in formulating security
systems;
(b) relatively small software companies offering relatively limited
applications for network and internet security;
(c) large companies that currently sell competitive products and
services as well as other large software companies that have the
technical capability and resources to develop competitive
products; and
(d) software or hardware companies that could integrate features
that are similar to the products of JAWZ Canada into their own
products.
Mergers or consolidations between these competitors, or acquisitions of
small competitors by larger companies, would make such combined entities more
formidable competitors to JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA. Large companies may have
advantages over each of JAWZ Canada and JAWZ USA because of their longer
operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases or greater
financial, technical and marketing resources. As a result, they may be able to
adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements. Such companies can also devote greater resources than JAWZ Canada
and JAWZ USA to the promotion and sale of their products.
Potential liabilities could arise in JAWZ' future based on product
defects
Many of our customers use our products and services for critical
functions of monitoring and enhancing network security. As a result, JAWZ risks
product liability and related claims for products and services if it does not
NY/312749.2
11/22/00
8
<PAGE>
adequately perform this function. JAWZ typically seeks to limit liability for
special, consequential or incidental damages in their licensing agreements but
these provisions may not in all cases be enforceable under applicable laws. A
product liability claim, to the extent not covered by insurance, could adversely
affect JAWZ business, operating results and financial condition.
In addition, complex software products, such as those we develop, may
contain undetected "bugs" that, despite testing, are discovered only after
installation and use by clients. These bugs could result in adverse publicity,
loss of or delay in market acceptance or claims by clients against JAWZ, any of
which could be very damaging to JAWZ business, operating results and financial
condition. Clients who deploy or use products improperly or incompletely may
experience temporary disruptions to their computer networking systems, which
could damage the JAWZ' reputation and its relationship with clients. Current
products may not be error-free and it is extremely doubtful that the future
products of JAWZ will be error-free. Furthermore, computers are manufactured in
a variety of different configurations with different operating systems, such as
Windows, Unix, Macintosh and OS/2, and embedded software. As a result, it is
very difficult to comprehensively test software products for programming or
compatibility errors. Errors in the performance of JAWZ products, whether due to
design or their compatibility with products of other companies, could hinder the
acceptance of these products, and thus JAWZ' ability to implement those
products.
JAWZ' marketing strategies may not be successful
JAWZ expects to derive some of their sales revenue through independent
third parties who will either resell or use JAWZ' products to enhance their own
products. JAWZ is unable to determine how successful these providers will be in
selling JAWZ' software. Furthermore, JAWZ does not have any history or
experience in establishing or maintaining such third party support, and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully support reseller
networks. If we are unable to provide such support, we may lose resellers and,
consequently, distribution of our products would be adversely affected.
Additionally, most resellers will offer competitive products manufactured by
third parties. There can be no assurance that resellers will give priority to
JAWZ' products and services over competitors' products and services. Finally, if
JAWZ is unable to support a reseller, we will need to attract additional or
replacement resellers to sell JAWZ' products and services. There can be no
assurance that JAWZ will be able to attract a sufficient number of additional or
replacement resellers in order to assure that our products and services will be
successfully marketed and distributed at a profit or that such additional or
replacement resellers will be successful in selling our products and services.
JAWZ' expansion of production and distribution capacities may not be
successful
JAWZ must increase its software production capacity and expand its
marketing network to sell its software before it will have a chance to compete
in the marketplace. Increasing JAWZ manufacturing, service and marketing
capacity will involve hiring additional personnel, purchasing additional
manufacturing equipment and spending significant funds on advertising. The
foregoing will require significant capital expenditures, which will most likely
increase JAWZ' operating losses for an indefinite period of time. JAWZ'
expansion plans will also place a great deal of strain on its management team,
most of whom have not had experience managing large complex business operations.
JAWZ cannot guarantee that it will be able to expand its software production,
service and marketing capabilities as planned. If any of these obstacles prevent
JAWZ from expanding its software production, service and marketing business,
JAWZ may be forced to terminate its operations.
Although direct sales have accounted for JAWZ' revenues in 1999, JAWZ'
future performance will depend, in part, upon its ability to attract new
partners and develop additional distribution channels to effectively market and
support its services and the products of JAWZ. JAWZ cannot guarantee that it
will be able to attract such partners or develop additional distribution
channels.
Due to the rapidly changing nature of the information security industry
and the size of our company, we depend on key personnel at all levels
JAWZ depends on the efforts of its management team. Even though JAWZ
has employment agreements with Messrs. Kubbernus, Mamdani, Labrinos, Surbey and
Cumming and Minhas, it cannot guarantee that these persons will continue their
employment. Each such member of JAWZ management team has entered into an
employment agreement with JAWZ, pursuant to which, in each case, the term of
employment extends until the earlier of (i) the date specified by such executive
officer in a notice of voluntary termination delivered by such executive officer
to JAWZ; provided that such notice shall not be effective until at least ten
(10) days after delivery thereof, (ii) the date such executive officer is
terminated by JAWZ for "just cause" (as defined in the employment agreement), or
(iii) with respect to termination other than for "just cause," the date which is
determined by providing such executive officer with one month's notice for each
full year of completed service commencing on the date JAWZ provides such
executive officer with a notice of termination. The loss of the services of one
or more of the key people may have a negative effect on JAWZ' ability to conduct
its operations.
NY/312749.2
11/22/00

<PAGE>
JAWZ' success also depends on its ability to attract and retain highly
qualified engineers, managers, marketers and sales and service personnel. The
competition for employees at all levels of the information security industry,
especially those with experience in the relatively new discipline of security
software, is increasingly intense and JAWZ cannot assure that it will be able to
hire or retain necessary personnel.
Risks associated with the authorization of preferred stock and possible
takeover effects
The board of directors of JAWZ is authorized to create and issue shares
of preferred stock without the approval of JAWZ' shareholders. Any preferred
stock that the board of directors of JAWZ creates and issues could negatively
affect the voting power or other rights of holders of shares of JAWZ common
stock. Also, the board of directors of JAWZ may create preferred stock which
could be used to prevent a third party from taking control of JAWZ.
Internet networks may not become widely adopted, limiting the market
for JAWZ' products
In order for us to be successful, internet networks must be widely
adopted as a means of trusted and secure communications and commerce within an
adequate time frame. Because trusted and secure communications and commerce over
internet networks is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any
assurance the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. To date, many
businesses and consumers have been deterred from utilizing internet networks for
a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, potentially inadequate
development of network infrastructure, security concerns, inconsistent quality
of service, lack of availability of cost-effective, high-speed service, limited
numbers of local access points for corporate users, inability to integrate
business applications on internet networks, the need to interoperate with
multiple and frequently incompatible products, inadequate protection of the
confidentiality of stored data and information moving across internet networks
and a lack of tools to simplify access to and use of internet networks. The
adoption of internet networks, for trusted and secure communications and
commerce, particularly by individuals and entities that historically have relied
upon traditional means of communications and commerce, will require a broad
acceptance of new methods of conducting business and exchanging information.
Companies and government agencies that already have invested substantial
resources in other methods of conducting business may be reluctant to adopt a
new strategy that may limit or compete with their existing efforts. Furthermore,
individuals with established patterns of purchasing goods and services and
effecting payments may be reluctant to alter those patterns. There can be no
assurance that internet networks will be widely adopted or adopted by enough
people to make our products successful.
The use of internet networks for trusted and secure communications and
commerce may not increase or may increase more slowly than expected because the
infrastructure required to support widespread trusted and secure communications
and commerce on such networks may not develop. For example, the internet has
experienced, and may continue to experience, significant growth in its number of
users and amount of traffic. There can be no assurance that the internet
infrastructure will continue to support the demands placed on it by this
continued growth or that the performance or reliability of the internet will not
be adversely affected by this continued growth. In addition, internet networks
could lose their viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new
standards and protocols to handle increased levels of activity or due to
increased governmental regulation. Changes in or insufficient availability of
communications services to support internet networks could result in slower
response times and also adversely affect usage of internet networks. If the
market for trusted and secure communications and commerce over internet networks
fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected, or if the internet
infrastructure does not adequately support any continued growth, our business,
operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate could adversely affect JAWZ because
some of its operating subsidiaries are located in Canada
JAWZ' operating currency for its Canadian subsidiaries is Canadian
dollars, while its reporting currency is in United States dollars. Any change in
the value of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar will affect
our Canadian dollar revenues and earnings when translated into United States
dollars. No assurance can be given that a fluctuation in the value of the
Canadian dollar against the United States dollar will not negatively impact
JAWZ' reported revenue and earnings.
USE OF PROCEEDS
JAWZ will not receive any proceeds from the sales of common stock by
the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

2000, (c) 120,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of warrants
granted on June 22, 2000, and (d) up to an additional 748,315 shares are
issuable upon the exercise of warrants, subject to certain adjustments
(the "Adjustable Warrant"). For purposes of calculating the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of the Adjustable Warrants, the Company
determined the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been
issuable pursuant to the Adjustable Warrant assuming the market price for
shares of the Company's Common Stock was equal to 50% of the closing bid
price on June 21, 2000 (the business day immediately preceding the initial
closing date in connection with the private placement transaction in
connection with the Adjustable Warrant was issued by the Company).
+ the information contained in this table reflects "beneficial" ownership of
Common Stock within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. On
November 10, 2000, JAWZ had 30,965,089 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Beneficial ownership information reflected in the table includes shares
issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants issued by JAWZ.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus, (i) 6,253,723
shares are owned by the selling stockholders (other than Strong River
Investments, Inc., Bay Harbor Investments, Inc. and Calp II Limited
Partnership), (ii) 2,936,630 shares are owned by, or are issuable upon the
exercise of warrants owned by, by Strong River Investments, Inc. and Bay Harbor

our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, and (e) an additional
4,208,159 shares of our Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of
warrants). As used in the rest of this section of the prospectus, the term
"selling stockholders" includes the named selling stockholders and any of their
pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares
received from a named selling stockholder after the date of this prospectus. The
selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, some or all of the
shares of Common Stock registered hereby. We have advised the selling
stockholders that Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to the
activities of the selling stockholders or broker-dealers in connection
therewith. We will pay all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the shares including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
selling stockholders. In addition, we have prepared this prospectus in
connection with our prior acquisition of Pace Systems Group Inc. ("Pace") ,
Offsite Data Systems Ltd. ("Offsite"), General Network Services ("GNS") Inc.,
4Comm.Com Inc., Betach Systems Inc., and Betach Advanced Solutions Inc. The
shares of common stock attributable to these prior acquisitions are as follows:
(1) 4,190,234 shares to allow the former shareholders and warrantholders of
Offsite to acquire shares of our common stock upon their exchange of
exchangeable shares of our subsidiary JAC, (2) 1,731,932 shares to allow the
former shareholders of Pace (now shareholders of JAWS Acquisition Canada Corp.,
and Alberta Corporation ("JACC") to acquire shares of our common stock upon
their exchange of exchangeable shares of our subsidiary JACC; (3) 140,618 shares
to allow the former shareholders of 4Comm to acquire shares of our common stock
upon their exchange of exchangeable shares of our subsidiary JACC; and (4)
373,333 shares to allow the former shareholders of Betach to acquire shares of
our common stock upon their exchange of exchangeable shares of JACC.
The shares may be sold by or for the account of the selling
stockholders from time to time in transactions included for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market or otherwise. These sales may be at fixed prices or
prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to these prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The
shares may be sold by means of one or more of the following methods:
-- in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block
of shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction;
-- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by that
broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; -- on
markets where our Common Stock is traded or in an exchange distribution
in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
-- through broker-dealers, that may act as agents or principals;
NY/312749.2

<PAGE>
-- broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
-- in connection with the loan or pledge of shares to a broker-dealer, and
the sale of the shares so loaned or the sale of the shares so pledged
upon a default;
-- in connection with put or call option transactions, in hedge
transactions, and in settlement of other transactions in standardized
or over-the-counter options;
-- through short sales of the shares by the selling stockholders or
counterparties to those transactions, in privately negotiated
transactions; or
-- in any combination of the above. In addition, any of the shares that
qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be
sold under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act rather than
pursuant to this prospectus.
-- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling
stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate.
Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling
Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of
shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling
Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is
customary in the types of transactions involved. The broker-dealer transactions
may include:
-- purchases of the shares by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of
the shares by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this
prospectus;
-- ordinary brokerage transactions; or
-- transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers.
If a material arrangement with any broker-dealer or other agent is entered into
for the sale of any shares of Common Stock through a block trade, special
offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution, or a purchase by a
broker or dealer, a prospectus supplement will be filed, if necessary, pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing the material terms and
conditions of these arrangements.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents participating in the
distribution of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares of Common Stock
by the selling stockholders and any commissions received by a broker-dealer or
agents, acting in this capacity, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act.
Certain of the Selling Stockholders have advised the Company that they have not
entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any
underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares other than
ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the
Selling Stockholders.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides
that directors and officers of Delaware corporations are entitled, under certain
circumstances, to be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of
any suit brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if
they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful.
Section 6.01 of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, any person (an
"Indemnitee") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is
otherwise involved in an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he,
or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the corporation or, while a director or executive officer of the
corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director
or executive officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including services with respect to
employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee.
Section 6.06 of the Company's bylaws also permits the Company to purchase
insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability asserted against
such person and incurred by such person in any capacity, or out of such persons
status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify
such person against such liability under the foregoing provisions of the bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons, JAWZ is aware
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is unenforceable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described above in Item 15, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent not
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(4) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
this offering.
