                                   PROSPECTUS

                                4,987,234 SHARES

                             GRC INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                                  COMMON STOCK

         This Prospectus  covers the offering for resale from time to time of up
to 4,987,234  shares (the  "Shares") of common  stock,  par value $.10 per share
(the "Common Stock"),  of GRC International,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the
"Company"),  by Cripple  Creek  Securities,  LLC, a Delaware  limited  liability
company ("CCS"),  BelleRock  Capital,  LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("BRC"),  and Andrew Kaplan, an individual  ("Kaplan" and, together with CCS and
BRC, the  "Selling  Stockholders").  The Company  may, and in certain  instances
shall,  issue  Shares  from  time to time to CCS  pursuant  to the  terms of the
Structured Equity Line (as defined herein) and to the Selling  Stockholders upon
exercise of the Warrants (as defined herein).  See "DEBT AND EQUITY  FINANCING."
The Company will receive no part of the  proceeds of sales made  hereunder,  but
the Company  will  receive  proceeds  upon the issuance of Shares to the Selling
Stockholders  pursuant  to the  Structured  Equity  Line and the  Warrants.  All
expenses of  registration  incurred in connection  with this public offering are
being borne by the Company. None of the Shares have been registered prior to the
filing of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is part.

         The  Common  Stock is quoted  on the New York  Stock  Exchange  and the
Pacific Stock  Exchange  under the symbol "GRH." On September 14, 1998, the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock was $4 7/8.

         The Selling  Stockholders,  acting as principal for their own accounts,
directly,  through  agents  designated  from time to time,  or through  brokers,
dealers, agents or underwriters also to be designated, may sell all or a portion
of the Shares that may be offered hereby in routine  brokerage  transactions  on
the New York Stock  Exchange,  the Pacific Stock Exchange or otherwise at prices
and terms prevailing at the time of the sale. The Selling  Stockholders also may
make private  sales  directly or through  brokers or may make sales  pursuant to
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act") . The
Selling Stockholders may pay customary brokerage fees, commissions and expenses.
The aggregate  proceeds to the Selling  Stockholders from the sale of the Shares
that may be offered  hereby by the  Selling  Stockholders  will be the  purchase
price of such  shares  less  commissions,  if any.  The  Company  has  agreed to
indemnify  the  Selling  Stockholders  against  certain  liabilities,  including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
<PAGE>

         The  Selling   Stockholders  and  any  brokers,   dealers,   agents  or
underwriters that participate with the Selling  Stockholders in the distribution
of the  Shares  may be deemed  to be  underwriters  within  the  meaning  of the
Securities  Act,  in which  event  any  commissions  received  by such  brokers,
dealers,  agents or underwriters  and any profit on the resale of the Shares may
be deemed to be  underwriting  discounts  under the Securities Act. See "PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION."

         PROSPECTIVE  INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY  CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED
UNDER "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 4.

         THESE   SECURITIES  HAVE  NOT  BEEN  APPROVED  OR  DISAPPROVED  BY  THE
SECURITIES  AND  EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  NOR HAS THE  COMMISSION  PASSED  UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

         INFORMATION  CONTAINED HEREIN IS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION OR AMENDMENT.  A
REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  RELATING  TO THESE  SECURITIES  HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES  AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION.  THESE  SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD NOR MAY
OFFERS TO BUY BE ACCEPTED PRIOR TO THE TIME THE REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  BECOMES
EFFECTIVE.  THIS  PROSPECTUS  SHALL  NOT  CONSTITUTE  AN  OFFER  TO  SELL OR THE
SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF THESE  SECURITIES
IN ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER,  SOLICITATION  OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR
TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY SUCH STATE.

ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS  OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN OR
INCORPORATED  BY REFERENCE IN THIS  PROSPECTUS IN  CONNECTION  WITH THE OFFERING

COMPANY,  THE  SELLING  STOCKHOLDERS  OR THEIR  RESPECTIVE  AGENTS.  NEITHER THE
DELIVERY  OF THIS  PROSPECTUS  NOR ANY SALE  MADE  HEREUNDER  SHALL,  UNDER  ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES,  CREATE  AN  IMPLICATION  THAT  THERE  HAS BEEN NO  CHANGE IN THE
AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY SINCE THE DATE AS OF WHICH  INFORMATION  IS GIVEN IN THIS

ANYONE IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE PERSON MAKING SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION

THIS PROSPECTUS  CONTAINS AND INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE  CERTAIN FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995 WITH RESPECT TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS
OF THE COMPANY,  INCLUDING,  WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  STATEMENTS  HEREIN UNDER "THE
COMPANY" AND "RISK FACTORS" AND STATEMENTS IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY
REPORTS UNDER  "MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS."  THESE FORWARD LOOKING  STATEMENTS INVOLVE CERTAIN RISKS
AND  UNCERTAINTIES.  NO ASSURANCE  CAN BE GIVEN THAT ANY OF SUCH MATTERS WILL BE
REALIZED.  FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE
CONTEMPLATED  BY SUCH FORWARD  LOOKING  STATEMENTS  INCLUDE,  AMONG OTHERS,  THE
FACTORS DISCUSSED HEREIN UNDER "RISK FACTORS."


                                  RISK FACTORS

         In addition to the other information in this Prospectus,  the following
factors should be considered carefully by prospective investors in evaluating an
investment in the shares of Common Stock offered in this Prospectus.

HIGH DEBT LEVEL

         As of June 30, 1998, the Company had  outstanding  total long-term debt
of $24.3 million, of which $975,000 was classified as current,  including a $4.8
million  term loan (the "Term  Loan"),  $18.5  million  drawn from a $22 million
revolving  line of credit (the  "Revolving  Credit"),  and a $961,000  equipment
lease  financing  (the  "Equipment  Lease").  The  Term  Loan  will  come due on
September 1, 2000 unless extended, while the Revolving Credit extends to January
2000,  with the bank  required  to provide  15 months  prior  written  notice to
terminate (absent any defaults under the credit agreement).  The Equipment Lease
is expected to be fully retired by the end of fiscal 1999.

         The  current  level and terms of  indebtedness:  (i) will  require  the
Company to dedicate a  significant  portion of its  available  net earnings from
operations to payment of interest and principal on the indebtedness;  (ii) could
limit the Company's flexibility in reacting to business developments and changes
in industry and economic conditions  generally;  (iii) could limit the Company's
ability  to obtain  additional  financing  in the future  for  working  capital,
capital  expenditures,  research  and  development,   acquisitions  and  general
corporate  purposes;   and  (iv)  could  place  the  Company  at  a  competitive
disadvantage inasmuch as many of its competitors are not comparably indebted.

         The Company  anticipates  reducing its indebtedness with cash flow from
operations.  Any growth in operations,  however, could actually reduce cash flow
in the short  term  because of the time lag  between  when the  Company  renders
services  and  when

<PAGE>

the Company's  principal  customer,  DoD, pays for those services.  Furthermore,
there can be no assurance of continued growth in the Company's  business,  which
is subject to additional risks. See "-- Dependence on Significant Customer," "--
Dependence on Significant  Contracts," "--Contract Profit Exposure," "--Audits,"
"--  Potential  Suspension  and  Debarment,"  "--Rapid   Technological  Change,"
"-Competition" and "-- Dependence on Professional Staff and Key Personnel."

         The  Company  also may be able to reduce  its  indebtedness  by raising
additional capital through the Structured Equity Line. Conditions to the sale of
Common  Stock  under  the   Structured   Equity  Line   include  (i)   continued
effectiveness  of a  registration  statement  under the  Securities  Act for the
resale by CCS of the shares of Common Stock to be sold to CCS,  (ii) CCS and its
affiliates not beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Company's Common Stock,
(iii)  listing of the  Company's  Common Stock on the NYSE or AMEX or trading of
the  Company's  Common  Stock on the NASDAQ NMS and (iv) the price of the Common
Stock  being at least $4.00 per share,  the value of open market  trading of the
Common  Stock being at least  $500,000  per day,  and the amount of Common Stock
sold to CCS in any three month  period not  exceeding  8% of the  average  daily
value  of open  market  trading  of the  Common  Stock on its  principal  market
multiplied by the number of trading days in that period.  Based on recent prices
and trading  volume for the Common Stock,  there is a substantial  risk that the
Company may not be able to sell as much as $3 million in Common  Stock to CCS in
each three month period,  and there is a risk that in at least some quarters the
Company  may not be able to sell any  Common  Stock  at all.  In  addition,  the
Company's ability to raise capital through the Structured Equity Line is subject
to the performance of CCS under the Structured  Equity Line, and  nonperformance
by CCS would  leave the Company  unable to raise  capital  under the  Structured
Equity Line. See "DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING."

STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY; SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

         The price of the  Company's  Common  Stock has been  volatile.  For the
twelve  months ended  September  14, 1998,  the price of the Common Stock ranged
from $11 3/8 to $4 11/16,  and closed at $4 7/8.  The price of the Common  Stock
could be subject to additional  significant  fluctuations  in response to, among
other things, variations in the Company's operating results, introduction of new
services or  technologies  by the Company or its  competitors,  changes in other
conditions or trends in the Company's industries,  changes in security analysts'
estimates  of  the  Company's  or  its   competitors'   or  industries'   future
performance,  general  market  conditions  and the described  herein under "RISK
FACTORS."  General market price declines or market  volatility in the future, or
future  declines  or  volatility  in the  prices of stock for  companies  in the
Company's industries, also could affect the price of the Common Stock.

         The Company's agreements with the Selling Stockholders and with Halifax
Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("Halifax"),  may also
have an effect on the price of the Company's  Common Stock.  Under the Company's
agreements with CCS, the Company may issue up to $18,000,000 of Common Stock CCS
at a price that is equal to 94% of the  lowest  reported  sale price  during the
three  days  immediately

<PAGE>

preceding  the notice of purchase to the Selling  Stockholder.  The Company also
has issued warrants to the Selling  Stockholders  to purchase  125,000 shares of
Common  Stock at $8.47 per share  and may  issue a  warrant  to CCS to  purchase
75,000 shares at 140% of a future  market  price.  The Company also has issued a
warrant to  Halifax to  purchase  320,000  shares of Common  Stock at a price of
$8.47 per share. See "DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING" and "SELLING STOCKHOLDERS." The
resale by the Selling  Stockholders  and Halifax of the  Company's  Common Stock
that they acquire could depress the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

         Moreover,  the terms of the  Structured  Equity Line  provide  that the
Company  has the right to require CCS to purchase up to $3 million of the Common
Stock in any of the three  month  periods  during  its term,  subject to certain
limitations.  Although the terms of the Structured  Equity Line provide that CCS
and its affiliates  are not required to purchase  Common Stock in an amount such
that they would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Common Stock outstanding,
CCS also has covenanted  and agreed to use its  reasonable  best efforts to sell
shares  of Common  Stock to the  extent  required  so that CCS can  continue  to
purchase Common Stock notwithstanding this limitation.  Accordingly,  CCS may be
required  to  purchase  Common  Stock from the  Company  in a manner  that would
require it, in order to stay under the 4.9% beneficial  ownership limitation and
comply with its obligations to the Company, to sell shares without regard to any
adverse  effects on price and other market  factors  associated  with the Common
Stock. See "DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING" and "SELLING STOCKHOLDERS."

DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

         The Company  derives  substantially  all of its  business  from service
contracts and subcontracts with DoD and its instrumentalities.  Typically,  such
contracts  have an initial  term of one year  combined  with two,  three or four
one-year renewal periods exercisable at the government's discretion. DoD and its
instrumentalities  are not  obligated to exercise  the options to renew.  At the
time of completion,  a contract in its entirety may be "recompeted"  against all
interested  third-party  providers,   and  awards  are  subject  to  protest  by
disappointed  bidders.  Federal law  permits DoD to  terminate a contract at any
time if such  termination is deemed to be in DoD's best interest.  DoD's failure
to renew, or termination of any significant  portion of, the Company's contracts
could have an adverse effect on the Company.

         Continuation  and  renewal  of  existing  contracts  with the DoD,  and
acquisition of additional  contracts from DoD, is contingent  upon,  among other
things,  the  availability  of funding  for DoD.  The  current  world  political
situation and domestic  political  pressure to reduce the federal budget deficit
have  reduced,  and may continue to reduce,  DoD's  budget,  which could have an
adverse effect on the Company's earnings.

         The adoption of new or modified procurement regulations also could have
an adverse  effect on the Company and its cost of competing  for and  performing
government contracts.

DEPENDENCE ON SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS

         Although  professional services contracts at fiscal year-end 1998, 1997
and 1996 have numbered 156, 144 and 149,  respectively,  the loss of one or more
contracts may have a substantial  adverse  impact on the Company's  revenues and
profitability if the particular contract is large in relation to the rest. There
also can be no assurance that the Company will win any follow-on contracts.

CONTRACT PROFIT EXPOSURE

         The Company provides services to the government  through three types of
contracts: fixed-price,  time-and-materials and cost-reimbursement.  The Company
assumes  financial  risk  on  fixed-price  contracts  (approximately  5% of  the
Company's  government  contract  revenues  in fiscal  year  1998) and  time-and-
material  contracts  (approximately  46% of the  Company's  government  contract
revenues in fiscal year 1998) because the Company assumes the risk of performing
those contracts at the stipulated prices or negotiated hourly rates. The failure
to estimate ultimate costs accurately or to control costs during  performance of
the work could result in losses or smaller than anticipated profits. The balance
of the Company's  government contract revenue in fiscal year 1998 (approximately
49%) was  derived  from  cost-reimbursement  contracts.  To the extent  that the
actual costs incurred in performing a cost-reimbursement contract are within the
contract  ceiling and allowable  under the terms of the contract and  applicable
regulations,  the  Company  is  entitled  to  reimbursement  of its costs plus a
stipulated profit. However, if the Company's costs exceed the ceiling or are not
allowable under the terms of the contract or applicable regulations,  any excess
would be subject to adjustment and repayment upon audit by the government.

AUDITS

         Government  contract  payments  received by the  Company for  allowable
direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment and repayment after audit if
the payments exceed  allowable  costs as defined in such  government  contracts.
Audits  have been  completed  and final  adjustments  agreed upon for all of the
Company's  incurred  contract costs through the end of fiscal year 1988.  Audits
have been completed on certain other incurred  contract costs through the end of
fiscal year 1991.  Additional audits are either completed (in some cases through
fiscal  year 1995) or in progress  for fiscal  years  subsequent  to fiscal year
1991.

POTENTIAL SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT

         The Company is subject to federal  regulations under which its right to
receive  future awards of new  government  contracts,  or extensions of existing
government contracts, may be unilaterally suspended or barred should the Company
be  convicted  of a crime or be indicted  based on  allegations  of violation of
certain  specific  federal statutes or other  activities.  Suspensions,  even if
temporary,  can  result in the loss of  valuable  contract  awards for which the
Company  otherwise would be eligible.  The initiation of

<PAGE>

suspension  or  debarment  hearings  against the  Company  could have an adverse
effect on the Company.

YEAR 2000 RISKS

         Many currently  installed  computer systems will not properly recognize
date  sensitive  information  when the year  changes  to  2000,  and thus  could
generate  erroneous  data or even fail.  The  Company has formed a task force to
minimize  the  disruptions  to its  business  that could  result  from year 2000
problems  and to  minimize  other  liabilities  it  might  incur  in  connection
therewith.  The Company also has  initiated  communications  with third  parties
whose  computer  systems'  functionality  could affect the Company.  While these
efforts are still  ongoing,  and no final  assessment of the Company's year 2000
issues has been made, the Company  currently does not expect these costs to have
a material adverse effect on the Company's overall results of operations or cash
flows.  There can be no  assurance,  however,  that the Company  will be able to
resolve all year 2000 issues in a timely  fashion or that the  ultimate  cost to
identify and implement  solutions to all year 2000 problems will not be material
to the Company.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

         The Company's business is dependent on its technical and organizational
knowledge,  practices and procedures,  and its future success is based, in part,
on its  ability  to keep up to date  with new  technological  breakthroughs  and
incorporate such changes in its products and services. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be  successful  in  developing  and  marketing in a timely
manner new  products  and services  that  respond to  technological  advances by
others,  or that  the  Company's  products  and  services  will  adequately  and
competitively address the needs of the changing marketplace.

COMPETITION

         The markets that the Company services are highly competitive and likely
to become more so with the expected  continuing  decline of  government  defense
expenditures.  Some of the Company's  competitors are large,  diversified  firms
with  substantially  greater financial  resources,  lower debt levels and larger
technical staffs than the Company has available to it. Government  agencies also
compete with the Company  because they can utilize their  internal  resources to
perform certain types of services that the Company might otherwise perform.

DEPENDENCE ON PROFESSIONAL STAFF

         To service  its  contracts,  the  Company  must  recruit and retain key
technical  personnel,  such  as  operations  research  and  software  engineers,
computer  programmers,  and other skilled scientists and engineers.  Competition
for such personnel is intense, and the Company often must comply with provisions
in government contracts that require employment of persons with specified levels
of education,  work  experience and security  clearances.  At June 30, 1998, the
Company had openings for approximately 175

<PAGE>

professional  services positions.  An inability to fill a substantial portion of
these current  openings  could have an adverse  impact on the Company's  revenue
growth and profitability.

POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

         The Company's Board of Directors has the authority, without any further
vote by the Company's  stockholders,  to issue up to 300,000 shares of Preferred
Stock  in  one or  more  series  and  to  determine  the  designations,  powers,
preferences  and  relative,  participating,  optional or other  rights  thereof,
including  without  limitation,  the dividend  rate (and whether  dividends  are
cumulative),  conversion rights,  voting rights, rights and terms of redemption,
redemption price and liquidation preference. Although the Company has no current
plans to issue any  shares of  Preferred  Stock,  the  rights of the  holders of
Common Stock would be subject to, and may be  adversely  affected by, the rights
of the holders of any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance
of Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying,  deterring or preventing a
change in control of the Company, including the imposition of various procedural
and other  requirements  that could make it more difficult for holders of Common
Stock to effect  certain  corporate  actions,  including  the ability to replace
incumbent  directors  and to  accomplish  transactions  opposed by the incumbent
Board of Directors.


                                   THE COMPANY

         The  Company  provides   knowledge-based   professional   services  and
high-quality  technology-based  product  solutions to government  and commercial
customers.  The  Company  was  organized  in  California  in 1961 and has been a
Delaware  corporation since 1974. The Company's  principal executive offices are
located at 1900 Gallows Road,  Vienna,  Virginia 22182, and its telephone number
is (703) 506-5000.  For further information about the business and operations of
the Company,  reference is made to the Company's reports  incorporated herein by
reference. See "INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE."


                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of
Common  Stock,  $.10 par value per share,  and  300,000  shares of  undesignated
Preferred  Stock,  $1.00 par value per share.  As of July 31,  1998,  10,213,482
shares of Common Stock were issued and  outstanding,  and no shares of Preferred
Stock were  designated or issued.  For further  information  about the Company's
capital stock, reference is made to the Company's reports incorporated herein by
reference. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK."
<PAGE>


                            DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING

         The Company  entered  into  financing  agreements  with CCS and another
investor in January  1997 in order to raise  additional  capital to continue its
operations.  The Company sought to raise additional capital because, since 1993,
the Company had  invested its free cash flow and  incurred  substantial  debt to
finance the  development of products for its  telecommunications  business units
but had not realized the revenues that it had  anticipated  from these  business
units.  Before  entering into the financing  agreements,  the Company sought the
advice of a financial  advisor  with  respect to a full range of  financial  and
strategic options. In particular,  the advisor, on the Company's behalf,  sought
strategic   partnerships,   distributorship,   licensing  agreements  and  other
transactions.  Among the goals of any such  transaction  was to find a corporate
partner that could provide additional capital and financial  resources to assist
the Company in continuing to develop its  telecommunications  business units. By
January 1997,  these efforts had not been  successful,  and the Company believed
that obtaining  near-term  commitments  for  additional  capital was in its best
interest.  The  Company  also  considered,  as  alternatives  to  the  financing
agreements, other debt and equity financings, but concluded that such financings
were not  likely to be  available  within an  acceptable  time  frame  and/or on
acceptable  terms.  Thus,  the  financing  agreements  provided what the Company
believed were terms for additional capital in the needed time frame that were in
the best interest of the Company.

STRUCTURED EQUITY LINE

         The Company  and CCS entered  into a  Structured  Equity Line  Flexible
Financing Agreement, dated as of January 21, 1997 and amended and restated as of
August 26,  1998 (the  "Structured  Equity  Line"),  and a related  Registration
Rights  Agreement,  dated as of  January  30,  1997  (the  "Registration  Rights
Agreement),  whereby  the  Company  agreed to file  under the  Securities  Act a
registration  statement of which this  Prospectus  is a part (the  "Registration
Statement").

         Pursuant to the terms of the Structured Equity Line, as amended, CCS is
required to purchase  shares of Common Stock over a period of 36 months (subject
to adjustment  upon the  occurrence of certain  events)  beginning on October 1,
1998,  for an aggregate  purchase  price of up to $18  million.  The Company may
terminate the Structured Equity Line on April 1, 1999, provided that CCS has, as
of such date,  purchased shares of Common Stock for an aggregate  purchase price
of at least $5 million. If the Company issues less than $5 million of its Common
Stock under the Structured Equity Line, it must pay CCS up to $300,000.

         Under the terms of the Structured  Equity Line, during each three month
period,  the Company,  subject to the  satisfaction of certain  conditions,  can
require CCS to purchase  shares of Common Stock for an aggregate  purchase price
of at  least  $1.5  million  and up to $3  million.  At the  beginning  of  each
three-month  period,  the  Company is  required  to notify CCS of the  aggregate
purchase  price of shares of Common Stock,  if any,  required to be purchased by
CCS during such  three-month  period.  CCS will select

<PAGE>

and notify the  Company  of the date on which the  purchase  of shares of Common
Stock from the Company shall close within each such three-month period following
notification by the Company,  and of the purchase of additional shares of Common
Stock during such period if the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common
Stock to be acquired  pursuant  to the  Company's  notification  is less than $3
million.  The purchase price per share to be paid by CCS for shares Common Stock
acquired under the Structured Equity Line is equal to 94% of the lowest reported
sale price during the three  trading days  immediately  preceding  the notice of
purchase by CCS.

         CCS's   obligation  to  purchase  shares  of  Common  Stock  under  the
Structured  Equity  Line is subject to various  conditions,  including,  without
limitation: (i) effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities
Act with  respect to the  Shares;  (ii) the price of the Common  Stock  being at
least $4.00 per share;  (iii) reported trading volume of the Common Stock in its
principal  trading market  multiplied by the weighted  average trading price (by
trading  volume) of the Common Stock ("the value of open market  trading") being
during a period of 20 trading days prior to the commencement of each three-month
period  of at least  $500,000  per day in any  three  month  period in which the
Company  requires  CCS to  purchase  shares  of Common  Stock  for an  aggregate
purchase  price in  excess of $1.5  million;  (iv) the  lesser of the  amount of
Common  Stock  sold to CCS in any three  month  period not  exceeding  8% of the
average daily value of open market  trading of the Common Stock on its principal
market  multiplied  by the  number  of  trading  days  in  that  period  and the
immediately  preceding three month period;  (v) listing of the Company's  Common
Stock on the New  York  Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE")  or  American  Stock  Exchange
("AMEX") or trading of the Company's  Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market
System  ("NASDAQ  NMS");  and (vi) the percentage of the Company's  Common Stock
beneficially  owned by CCS and its  affiliates  not being  more than 4.9% of the
outstanding  Common  Stock on each  closing  date for the  purchase of shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Structured Equity Line.

         As  consideration  for entering into the  Structured  Equity Line,  CCS
received a seven year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at an exercise price equal to $8.47 per share (the "Warrant"). The Warrant
has been  reissued  to provide  that CCS may  purchase  91,688  shares,  BRC may
purchase 23,125 shares,  and Kaplan may purchase  10,187 shares.  The Warrant is
not  exercisable  for 18  months  from the  date of  issuance,  but will  become
immediately   exercisable  if  the  Company  declares  a  material  dividend  or
distribution (other than in Shares of Common Stock),  sells substantially all of
its assets, or enters into a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction,
or there is a termination of the Structured  Equity Line in accordance  with its
terms,  and in such event the exercise  price will be the lesser of (i) $8.47 or
(ii) 80% of the  "Transaction  Value."  "Transaction  Value" is  defined  in the
Warrant to mean,  in the case of a merger,  acquisition,  sale of Common  Stock,
sale  of  assets  or  similar   transaction,   the  fair  market  value  of  the
consideration  to be received  per share of Common  Stock,  as  evidenced by the
average of the  closing  sale price for the Common  Stock  during the 10 trading
days following the announcement of such definitive agreement, and in the case of

<PAGE>

a material  special  dividend or  distribution,  the fair  market  value of such
dividend or distribution.

         If the Company elects to issue Common Stock under the Structured Equity
Line for an  aggregate  purchase  price of more than $5 million or to extend the
term thereof  beyond April 1, 1999,  the Company will issue an additional  seven
year warrant for the  purchase of 75,000  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock
(the "Additional  Warrant" and, together with the Warrant, the "Warrants") at an
exercise  price equal to 140% of the closing  sale price of the Common  Stock at
the time of the issuance of the Additional Warrant.  The Additional Warrant will
be exercisable at the same time as the Warrant,  or upon issuance if the Warrant
is exercised prior to the issuance of such Additional Warrant, and would contain
provisions similar to those in the Warrant.

         Under the Structured  Equity Line and the related  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  the Company  agreed to file under the  Securities Act a registration
statement,  of which this  Prospectus is a part, for the resale of the shares of
the Company's  Common Stock to be issued under the  Structured  Equity Line, the
Warrant and the Additional Warrant.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

         The Company  also entered into a  Convertible  Securities  Subscription
Agreement,  dated as of January 21, 1997 (the  "Subscription  Agreement"),  with
Halifax Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited  partnership  ("Halifax").
The  investment  manager for Halifax is The Palladin  Group,  L.P.,  which is an
affiliate of the managing member of CCS. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement,
Halifax  purchased  a $4  million  aggregate  principal  amount  5%  Convertible
Debenture due January 30, 2000 (the "Debenture"). The Debenture was convertible,
at Halifax's  option 60 days after January 30, 1997 at any time and from time to
time,  into the  Company's  Common  Stock at the  lesser  of (i) $11 per  share,
subject to  adjustment  under certain  circumstances,  or (ii) 94% of the lowest
reported sale price during the three trading days immediately preceding the date
of conversion. The Debenture has been fully converted into 804,322 shares of the
Company's Common Stock.

         As  consideration  for entering into the  Subscription  Agreement,  the
Company  issued to  Halifax a seven  year  warrant,  which,  subject  to certain
exceptions,  was not exercisable until July 30, 1998, to purchase 320,000 shares
of the  Company's  Common  Stock at a price of $8.47 per share  (the  "Debenture
Warrant"). If the Company (i) sells all or substantially all of its assets, (ii)
enters into a merger, consolidation, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in the  shareholders  of the Company  owning in the aggregate  less
than 50% of the common  equity and having  less than 50% of the voting  power of
the  surviving  entity,  or (iii) fixes a record date for the  declaration  of a
material special  distribution or dividend,  then the Debenture  Warrant becomes
immediately exercisable at a price equal to the lesser of (i) $8.47 per share or
(ii) 80% of the "Transaction Value" per share ("Transaction  Value" has the same
meaning as set forth above).
<PAGE>


                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale by the
Selling  Stockholders of the Shares of Common Stock offered by this  Prospectus.
The Company will receive  proceeds  from the original  issuance of the Shares to
the Selling  Stockholders  under the Structured Equity Line, the Warrant and the
Additional  Warrant.  There can be no assurance  that the Company will issue any
Shares or receive any  proceeds,  and under the terms of the  Structured  Equity
Line, it is possible that the Company will receive no proceeds at all. See "DEBT
AND EQUITY  FINANCING."  The  Company  could  receive,  before  expenses,  up to
$18,000,000  under the  Structured  Equity Line and up to  $1,058,750  under the
Warrant.  Under the Additional  Warrant,  the amount of gross proceeds  received
will depend on the exercise price of the Additional Warrant,  which is specified
in the  Structured  Equity Line as 140% of the closing  sale price of the Common
Stock on the date of issuance of the Additional Warrant.  Thus, if, for example,
the closing sale price on the date of issuance were $10, the gross proceeds from
the Additional Warrant, assuming full exercise, would be $1,050,000 (i.e. 140% x
$10 x 75,000 shares).  The actual amount of proceeds from the Structured  Equity
Line,  the  Warrant and the  Additional  Warrant,  if any,  will depend upon the
market  price of the Common  Stock,  whether the Selling  Stockholders  elect to
exercise the Warrant and the Additional  Warrant,  if any, whether CCS elects to
purchase  Common Stock as  permitted  under the terms of the  Structured  Equity
Line, and whether the Company elects to require CCS to purchase  Common Stock as
permitted  under the terms of the  Structured  Equity Line. For a description of
the terms of the Structured Equity Line, the Warrant and the Additional Warrant,
see "DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING."

         The Company  expects that any net proceeds from the  Structured  Equity
Line, the Warrant and the  Additional  Warrant will be used to reduce the amount
of outstanding  indebtedness under the Revolving Credit,  which provides working
capital for the Company.  Depending  upon the amount and terms of the  Company's
indebtedness  at the time the  Company  receives  proceeds  from the  Structured
Equity Line,  the Warrant and the Additional  Warrant,  if any, the Company also
might use the  proceeds to repay  other  indebtedness  or for general  corporate
purposes to satisfy operating cash flow requirements.


                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

         The Selling Stockholders are Cripple Creek Securities,  LLC, a Delaware
limited  liability  company,  and  BelleRock  Capital,  LLC, a Delaware  limited
liability company. The Selling Stockholders have not had a material relationship
with the Company within the past three years, other than as a result of entering
into the Structured  Equity Line and related  agreements.  An affiliate of CCS's
managing  member,  The  Palladin  Group,  L.P., a Delaware  limited  partnership
("Palladin"),  is the  investment  manager for  Halifax,  which  entered  into a
Subscription  Agreement and related  agreements with the Company.  See "DEBT AND
EQUITY FINANCING." One of the Company's  directors was a special

<PAGE>

limited  partner of  Palladin  until June 30,  1997.  The same  individual  is a
general  partner  of Ramius  Capital  Group,  L.P.,  which was an  affiliate  of
Palladin  until June 30, 1997. As of the date hereof,  the Selling  Stockholders
own no shares of the Company's  Common Stock and are offering  herein for resale
all of the shares of the Company's  Common Stock that they may acquire under the
Structured Equity Line, the Warrant and the Additional  Warrant.  As of the date
hereof,  Halifax owns no shares of the Company's Common Stock and has registered
the resale of all of the shares  that it may  acquire  upon the  exercise of the
Debenture Warrant in a separate registration statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Selling  Stockholders,  acting as principals for their own account,
directly,  through  agents  designated  from time to time,  or through  brokers,
dealers, agents or underwriters also to be designated, may sell all or a portion
of the Shares from time to time on terms to be  determined  at the time of sale.
The  Selling  Stockholders  may from time to time  sell all or a portion  of the
Shares in routine  brokerage  transactions on the New York Stock  Exchange,  the
Pacific  Stock  Exchange or otherwise at the prices and terms  prevailing at the
time of the  sale.  The  Selling  Stockholders  also  may make  private  resales
directly or through  brokers or may make resales  pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities  Act. The Selling  Stockholders  may pay  customary  brokerage  fees,
commissions and expenses.

         To the extent required pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, a
Prospectus  Supplement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
with respect to a particular  offering  setting forth the terms of any offering,
including  the  name or  names  of any  underwriters  or  agents,  if  any,  any
underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters'  compensation,
the offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid
to dealers.  Any  offering  price and any  discounts or  concessions  allowed or
reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

         If  underwriters  are used in a sale,  shares of Common  Stock  will be
acquired by the  underwriters  for their own account and may be resold from time
to time in one or more transactions,  including  negotiated  transactions,  at a
fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale.
The shares may be offered to the public either through  underwriting  syndicates
represented  by one or more  managing  underwriters  or  directly by one or more
firms acting as underwriters.  The underwriter or underwriters with respect to a
particular  underwritten  offering  of  shares  to be  named  in the  Prospectus
Supplement relating to such offering and, if an underwriting  syndicate is used,
the managing underwriter or underwriters, will be set forth on the cover of such
Prospectus  Supplement.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement
relating  thereto,  the  obligations of the  underwriters to purchase the Shares
will be subject to conditions  precedent and the underwriters  will be obligated
to purchase all of the shares if any are purchased.
<PAGE>

         If  dealers  are  utilized  in the sale of shares  of  Common  Stock in
respect of which this  Prospectus is delivered,  the Selling  Stockholders  will
sell such shares to the dealers as principals.  The dealers may then resell such
shares to the public at varying  prices to be  determined by such dealers at the
time of resale.  The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction  will
be set forth in a Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.

         If an agent is used,  the  agent  will be  named,  and the terms of the
agency and any commissions will be set forth in a Prospectus Supplement relating
thereto. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any such agent
will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

         Shares  may  be  sold   directly   by  the  Selling   Stockholders   to
institutional  investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters  within
the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale thereof.  The terms
of any such sales,  including the terms of any bidding or auction process,  will
be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.

         Agents,  dealers  and  underwriters  may be entitled  under  agreements
entered into with the Selling  Stockholders to  indemnification  against certain
civil  liabilities,  including  liabilities  under  the  Securities  Act,  or to
contribution with respect to payments which such agents, dealers or underwriters
may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers and underwriters may
be  customers  of,  engage in  transactions  with,  or perform  services for the
Company or the Selling Stockholders in the ordinary course of business.

         The Company will bear all costs and expenses of the registration of the
Shares under the Securities Act and certain state  securities  laws. The Selling
Stockholders  will pay any transaction costs associated with effecting any sales
that occur.

         The Selling  Stockholders  are not restricted as to the price or prices
at which they may resell Shares  acquired upon the  conversion of the Debentures
or the exercise of the Warrants.  Such resales may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Common Stock.  Moreover,  the Selling  Stockholders  are not
restricted  as to the number of Shares that may be sold at any one time,  and it
is possible that a significant  number of Shares could be sold at the same time,
which also may have an adverse  effect on the market price of the Common  Stock.
The Selling  Stockholders also may distribute shares pursuant to delivery in any

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a) 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  registration  statement  (or the most recent  post-effective
amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or in  the  aggregate,  represents  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  and of the
estimated  maximum  offering  range may be reflected  in the form of  prospectus
filed with the  Commission  pursuant  to Rule 424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the
changes in volume  and price  represent  no more than 20  percent  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;  provided,
however,   that  paragraphs  (a)(1)(i)  and  (a)(1)(ii)  do  not  apply  if  the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by those  paragraphs  is
contained in periodic  reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission by the
registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

         (2) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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) To  remove  from the  registration  by  means  of a  post-effective
amendment  any of the  securities  being  registered  which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the  registration  statement shall be
deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to

<PAGE>

the securities offered therein, 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 of 1933 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 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.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

of Virginia, on September 18, 1998.
