PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. See "Risk Factors" for
information prospective investors should consider.
The Company
Accelr8 Technology Corporation (the "Company") is a leading provider of
software tools and consulting services for Year 2000 compliance and for
conversion from Digital Equipment Corporation's ("DEC") VAX/VMS Legacy Systems
to UNIX and NT open client/server environments. The Year 2000 Problem is
expected to create widespread system failures due to the use of computer
programs that rely on two-digit date codes to perform computations and other
decision-making functions. The Company's "NAVIG8-2000" tools facilitate timely
and cost effective Year 2000 assessment and remediation across the multiple
language environment of DEC Legacy Systems and UNIX environments. The Company's
other focus - the conversion from DEC VAX/VMS Legacy Systems to UNIX open
client/server environments - is based on the fact that VAX/VMS Legacy Systems
use a proprietary computer operating system which is not compatible with other
manufacturers' hardware and software, whereas UNIX is a powerful, open
architecture system which is compatible with a wide range of hardware platforms
and software applications, including commercial off-the-shelf software ("COTS").
The Company believes that UNIX has become the most widely used client/server
operating system, and that the trend to client/server open systems, such as the
systems offered by UNIX and Microsoft Corporation's Windows NT operating system
("NT"), will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company's "MIGR8" tools
provide dependable solutions for migration of DEC VAX/VMS applications from the
proprietary environment of VMS to the open systems environment of UNIX.
The Company's objective is to enhance its position as a leading provider of
integrated solutions which will solve the Year 2000 Problem and meet the
conversion needs of VAX/VMS users. The Company's strategy for achieving its
objectives includes: (i) near term focus on the Year 2000 Market; (ii)
commercialization of the Company's Windows NT conversion tool set; (iii)
continue emphasis on consulting services and establishment of Year 2000 and
UNIX/NT conversion teams; (iv) developing and introducing new software tools and
services; (v) development of relationships with significant providers of
outsourcing services for an entity's information technology needs; (vi)
expanding the Company's international marketing programs, particularly in Europe
and Asia; (vii) securing additional consulting projects from existing and future
clients; (viii) continuing to target large corporations and government agencies
which require integrated solutions to their Legacy System conversion needs; and
(ix) investing in or acquiring complementary businesses, technologies or product
lines.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, prospective
investors should carefully consider the following risk factors prior to making
an investment in the Common Stock offered hereby.
Dependence on Key Employees. The Company's success depends to a significant
extent upon a number of key management and technical personnel, the loss of one
or more of whom could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. The Company carries key man life insurance in the amount of $5
million on Thomas V. Geimer, as well as life insurance on seven of its key
employees, including Thomas V. Geimer, Harry J. Fleury, Franz Huber and Timothy
Fitzpatrick, in the amount of $250,000 for each individual. The Board of
Directors has adopted resolutions under which one-half of the proceeds of any
such insurance will be dedicated to a beneficiary designated by the insured.
There can be no assurance that the proceeds from such life insurance policies
would be sufficient to compensate the Company for the loss of any of these
employees, and these policies do not provide any benefits to the Company if
these employees become disabled or are otherwise unable to render services to
the Company. Further, the Company does not currently have employment agreements
with any of its officers or key employees, and does not currently intend to have
such employment agreements in the future. The Company believes that its
continued success will depend in large part upon its ability to attract and
retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting and
retaining the personnel it requires to develop and market new and enhanced
products and to conduct its operations successfully.
Management of Growth. The Company's rapid growth in business in recent
quarters has placed and may continue to place a significant strain on the
Company, particularly on its customer services organization. Any failure by the
Company to respond quickly to the service needs of its customers could cause the
loss of customers and have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. The Company's future operating results will depend on its ability to
expand its services organization and infrastructure commensurate with its
expanding base of customers and on its ability to attract, hire and retain
skilled employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
effectively manage any future growth.
Dependence on Year 2000 Market and Conversion of DEC VAX/VMS Legacy
Systems. The growth in the Company's professional services fees in fiscal 1997
resulted primarily from demand for its Year 2000 Problem services as awareness
of the Year 2000 Problem has grown. In addition, this demand has also accounted
for a significant portion of software license revenue for the same period as
customers have acquired the Company's software products to help address their
Year 2000 concerns. Should the demand for the Company's Year 2000 solutions and
products decline significantly as a result of new technologies, competition or
other factors, the Company's professional service fees and license revenues
would be materially and adversely affected. The Company anticipates the Year
2000 market will decline, perhaps rapidly, following the year 2000. It is the
Company's strategy to leverage customer relationships and knowledge of customer
application systems derived from its Year 2000 solutions to market other
products and services beyond the Year 2000 market. However, there can be no
assurance that this strategy will be successful, and should the Company be
unable to market other products and services as demand in the Year 2000 market
declines, whether as a result of technological change, competition or other
factors, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition
will be materially and adversely affected.
5
<PAGE>
The Company's only other software products and services are designed for
conversion from VAX/VMS Legacy Systems to UNIX and NT open client/server
environments. Future revenues from this line of business are dependent upon
users of VAX/VMS Legacy Systems electing to convert their data and applications
to UNIX and NT environments. To the extent that users of VAX/VMS Legacy Systems
elect to abandon their VAX/VMS applications and data and to re-write their
information technology systems entirely in UNIX or NT environments without
conversion, the Company's revenues and future prospects could be materially and
adversely affected.
Concentration of Revenues. A significant portion of the Company's revenues
have been derived from substantial orders placed by a small number of customers.
As a result, the Company's revenues have been concentrated among a relatively
small number of customers. In fiscal 1997, one customer accounted for 13% of the
Company's revenues, and in fiscal 1996 revenues from the Company's three largest
customers amounted to 41% of the Company's total revenues. The Company expects
that it will continue to be dependent upon a limited number of customers for
significant portions of its revenues in future periods. Generally, the Company
is hired for a specific project that will be completed within a fixed period of
time. Once a project has been completed, customers generally will not require
significant services in the future. However, during particular periods, certain
customers may be significant. There can be no assurance that revenues from
customers that accounted for significant revenues in past periods, individually
or as a group, will continue or, if continued, will reach or exceed historical
levels in any future period. The Company's operating results may in the future
be subject to substantial period-to-period fluctuations as a consequence of such
customer concentration.
Ability to Respond to Technological Change. The Company's future success
will depend significantly on its ability to enhance its current products and
develop or acquire and market new products which keep pace with technological
developments and evolving industry standards as well as respond to changes in
customer needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
developing or acquiring product enhancements or new products to address changing
technologies and customer requirements adequately, that it can introduce such
products on a timely basis or that any such products or enhancements will be
successful in the marketplace. The Company's delay or failure to develop or
acquire technological improvements or to adapt its products to technological
change would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Dependence Upon Proprietary Technology; Intellectual Property Rights. The
Company relies primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade
secret laws, employee and third party disclosure agreements, license agreements
and other intellectual property protection methods to protect its proprietary
rights. The Company's proprietary software products are generally licensed to
customers on a "right to use" basis pursuant to a perpetual, nontransferable
license that generally restricts use to the customer's internal purposes and to
a specific computer platform that has been assigned a "key code." However, it
may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse engineer
certain portions of the Company's products or obtain and use information the
Company regards as proprietary. The Company currently has no patents and
existing trade secret and copyright laws provide only limited protection. The
Company's competitive position and operations may be adversely affected by
unauthorized use of its proprietary information, and there can be no assurance
that the protections put in place by the Company will be adequate.
There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement or other claims against the Company with respect to any existing or
future products, or that licenses would be available if any Company technology
6
<PAGE>
were successfully challenged by a third party, or if it became desirable to use
any third-party technology to enhance the Company's products. Litigation to
protect the Company's proprietary information or to determine the validity of
any third-party claims could result in significant expense to the Company and
divert the efforts of the Company's technical and management personnel, whether
or not such litigation is determined in favor of the Company.
Competition. The market for the Company's products and services is
competitive and subject to rapid change. There can be no assurance that
competitors will not develop products or alternative technologies that: (i) are
superior to the Company's products; (ii) achieve greater market acceptance; or
(iii) make the Company's products obsolete. Further, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to compete successfully with its present or
potential competition, or that competition will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
Possible Volatility of Stock Price; Dividend Policy. The market price of
the Company's Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in
response to variations in actual and anticipated quarterly operating results,
changes in earnings estimates by analysts, announcements of new products or
technological innovations by the Company or its competitors, and other events or
factors. In addition, the stocks of many technology companies have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the
companies' operating performance. The Company does not intend to pay any cash
dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
Control by Management. The officers, directors and key employees of the
Company own approximately 17.5% % of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and,
if they exercise all of the options and warrants that they currently hold, they
will own approximately 20.1% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common
Stock. Due to their stock ownership, the officers, directors and key employees
may be in a position to elect the Board of Directors and, therefore, to control
the business and affairs of the Company, including certain significant corporate
actions such as acquisitions, the sale or purchase of assets and the issuance
and sale of the Company's securities.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. As of July 31, 1997, the Company had
reserved 385,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of options
which have been or may be granted pursuant to its stock option plans ("Plan
Options"), and 1,140,000 shares for issuance upon the exercise of warrants and
options by Thomas V. Geimer at an exercise price of $0.24 per share. An
aggregate of 335,000 of the Plan Options are exercisable at $0.36 per share, and
the remaining 50,000 Plan Options which are currently outstanding are
exercisable at $7.25 per share. In October, Mr. Geimer exercised his options and
warrants and simultaneously contributed 1,129,110 shares to a Rabbi Trust for
the benefit of Thomas V. Geimer. Under the terms of the Rabbi Trust these shares
will be held in the trust, and carried as treasury stock by the Company. The
Rabbi Trust provides that upon Mr. Geimer's death, disability, or termination of
his employment the shares will be released ratably over the subsequent ten (10)
years, unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise. Sales of Common Stock
underlying Plan Options or shares released by the Rabbi Trust to Mr. Geimer may
adversely affect the price of the Common Stock.
Important Factors related to Forward-Looking Statements and Associated
Risks. This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Company intends that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These
forward-looking statements include the plans and objectives of management for
future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and
7
<PAGE>
future economic performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements
included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions
that the Company will continue to provide services and develop, market and ship
products on a timely basis, that competitive conditions within the software
industry will not change materially or adversely, that demand for the Company's
products and services will remain strong, that the Company will retain existing
independent sales representatives and key management personnel, that the
Company's forecasts will accurately anticipate market demand and that there will
be no material adverse change in the Company's operations or business.
Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among
other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future
business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict
accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore,
there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking
information will be realized. In addition, the business and operation of the
Company are subject to substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent
in such forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties
inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or
any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Shares offered hereby. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will receive
net proceeds of approximately $289,800 . Such proceeds will be used as working
capital and for general corporate purposes. Net proceeds not immediately
required will be invested principally in U.S. government securities, short-term
certificates of deposit, money market funds or other short-term,
interest-bearing securities.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

beneficial owners of its Common Stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
