ABOUT THE COMPANY
The Company develops, markets and supports live business modeling
products for implementing, configuring and integrating packaged applications,
and for continuously engineering the enterprise. IntelliCorp has used its
expertise in business process modeling, object technology and knowledge-based
systems to create products and services for organizations to gain greater
benefit from their purchased packaged applications.

<PAGE> 5
RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the following risk factors, along with the
other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in
deciding whether to invest in our securities. These factors, among others, may
cause actual results, events or performance to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements we make in this prospectus.
RISKS RELATING TO MARKET ACCEPTANCE
The market for our products is new and evolving, and its growth depends
upon broader market acceptance of modeling technology, including object-oriented
technology. Modeling technologies represent fundamental shifts in analysis,
design and programming methodologies. They require substantial investment in the
retraining of programmers and business analysts, which can be expensive and can
reduce the productivity of programmers and analysts during the training period.
As a result, organizations may choose not to make the investment required to use
modeling techniques in planning their operations and for the enhancement of
their businesses or their clients' businesses.
Even if modeling technology gains broader market acceptance, our
ModelWorks family and software development tools may not be accepted for
implementation of object-oriented and modeling technology. The ModelWorks
products are relatively new products with limited market acceptance. In the case
of the product market for LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition, it is unclear if:
- - this product's modeling approach will be accepted as a solution to
customers' SAP implementation problems, or
- - if the product will be used by customers who have previously installed
SAP's R/3 software.
In addition, even if these products gain broader market acceptance, a
number of other vendors offer competing products. There are also a number of
other approaches to business and application modeling. See "Risks Relating to
Competition" below.
We have refocused our efforts on the SAP market and, in June 1996,
LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition was commercially released to address the need for a
modeling tool to assist companies who are implementing SAP's R/3 system. As a
result of refocusing a substantial portion of our business on the SAP market,
increased acceptance of our software products will depend on continued market
acceptance of SAP's R/3 system. In addition, sales of our SAP R/3 based products
will depend on the acceptance and use by consulting firms and others who assist
their customers to implement the complex R/3 system.
We may not be successful in achieving and sustaining partnerships with
third party packaged system vendors or with strategic consulting firms. SAP has
formed strategic alliances with other companies to develop R/3
modeling/implementation software packages and SAP itself offers products that
include a subset of the capabilities of our products. While we believe that
LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition offers advantages over competing products in this
market, we may not be successful in refocusing our business in the SAP R/3
market. Also, our products may not be able to successfully compete with others
in this market. These events could have a material adverse effect on the
company.
Our fiscal 1999 sales expectations anticipate a predominant portion of
revenues will come from sales of and consulting services related to LiveModel:
SAP R/3 Edition and LiveInterface. Factors which could impact the level of
revenues generated from LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition and LiveInterface include,
but are not limited to:
- - the timing and level of market acceptance of the product,
- - the timing of market introduction of competing products,
- - the timely and successful introduction of new technology enhancements and
follow-up products,
- - the success of providing consulting services, and
- - the success of sales efforts with strategic partners.
We have attempted to focus our PowerModel business on the concurrent
engineering market for manufacturing and design. However, several risks still
exist:
- - customers may not accept our product solutions,
- - we may not have the necessary expertise for this market,
- - we may not obtain the right business partnerships.
In fact, the revenue related to the PowerModel business declined in
fiscal 1998 compared to the prior year.
RISKS RELATING TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
The market for our products is characterized by:
- - ongoing technological developments,
- - evolving industry standards,
5
<PAGE> 6
- - rapid changes in customer requirements and increasing customer demands.
As a result, our success depends upon our ability to continue to:
- - enhance our existing products,
- - develop and introduce in a timely manner new products that take advantage
of technological advances, and
- - respond to new customer requirements and demands.
To the extent one or more of our competitors introduce products that
fully address customer requirements, our business could be adversely affected.
We may not be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to our
existing products or new products incorporating new technology on a timely
basis. Also, our new products may not adequately address the changing needs of
the marketplace. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products, or
enhance existing products, in a timely manner in response to changing market
conditions or customer requirements or demands, our business and results of
operations will be materially and adversely affected.
With the introduction of LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition, we have shifted our
emphasis from UNIX systems to Windows and other Microsoft operating systems.
This shift from UNIX to Windows may not be successful.
LiveInterface is written in the SAP ABAP programming language. SAP may
discontinue or dramatically change the specifications to this language. The
competition for expert Windows and ABAP programmers is highly competitive. In
addition, customer requirements and technology for the applications integration
market is evolving very rapidly. New, follow-on technology and products will be
necessary to remain competitive.
We also rely on licenses from third parties, such as POET, SAP and
ProUBIS for some of its technology and product functionality. These licensed
technologies may not be maintained and/or enhanced by their owners such that
they can continue to provide the necessary functionality for our products.
Although we have a number of ongoing development projects, the following
risks still exist:
- - development may not be completed successfully or on time,
- - projects may not include the features required to achieve market
acceptance,
- - enhancements to the product may not keep pace with broadening market
requirements.
From time to time we or our competitors may announce new products,
capabilities or technologies that have the potential to replace or shorten the
life cycles of our existing products. Such announcements of currently planned or
other new products may cause customers to defer purchasing our existing
products. In the past we experienced delays in software development, and we may
experience further delays in connection with our current product development or
future development activities. Delays or difficulties associated with new
product introductions or product enhancements could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations. Software products as complex as those
offered by us may contain undetected errors when first introduced or as new
versions are released. Such errors may be found in new products after
commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in loss of or delay in market
acceptance. We have no insurance for this risk.
We may consider, from time to time, purchasing technology from third
parties. However, we may not be able to purchase new technology. Further, if we
do acquire new technology, it may also have an adverse impact on our business.
RISKS RELATING ON DEPENDENCE UPON SAP
We entered into a software license and development agreement with SAP in
August 1997. Under this agreement, which includes an extension of the previous
development agreement between the companies, we are required to develop viewing
and configuration technology for SAP's software. This new agreement also
provides a license to SAP for this viewing and configuration technology. SAP has
released the viewing technology to its users, and is using LiveModel: SAP R/3
Edition as the authoring environment for the R/3 Reference Model and
Industry-Solution (IS) specific models.
In addition, while we will continue to sell LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition
through direct sales and distribution channels, at some point, SAP will begin
selling some level of functionality of our LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition from their
price list through the SAP sales force. SAP will pay us a royalty on such sales.
These actions may affect our own product sales and have a negative effect on our
future revenue stream.
Finally, the agreement gives SAP certain future options to license
components in addition to the viewing and configuration technology from us for a
price to be negotiated. If SAP elected the option, there may be an additional
unfavorable impact on our own future product sales, or we may not be able to
develop and market alternative products successfully in time to replace any
potential lost revenues.
6
<PAGE> 7
In addition, some of the revenue from this license and development
agreement with SAP will be one-time in nature, including a site license by SAP
of our LiveModel product and the licensing of the viewing and configuration
technology. We may not be able to replace this revenue with other customer
revenues after these revenues from the agreement with SAP are recognized. In
addition, SAP may not continue their relationship with us. Termination of the
SAP arrangement could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
RISKS RELATING TO COMPETITION
We believe that our ability to compete depends on factors both within
and outside our control, including:
- - the timing and success of our newly developed products,
- - the timing and success of newly developed products by our competitors,
- - product performance and price,
- - distribution and customer support.
We may not be able to compete successfully with respect to these
factors.
The market for our software products has been intensely competitive and
characterized by rapid change and frequent introduction of new products. The
important competitive factors in the industry are the following:
- - product sophistication, features and reliability,
- - product price and performance characteristics,
- - ease of understanding and operating the software,
- - integration with conventional computing environments and the internet.
We may not be successful in the face of increasing competition from new
products and enhancements introduced by existing competitors and by new
companies entering the market.
Our advantage continues to be our close relationship with the SAP
development organization, and continued growth of this relationship is necessary
to insure our success in the SAP R/3 market. This relationship is always at risk
based upon our ability to perform the development work desired by SAP and the
alternatives available to SAP.
We are at risk for encroachment into the value provided by LiveModel:
SAP R/3 Edition by SAP's continued improvements to the ASAP Implementation
Assistant. As new capabilities are added to this freely provided component of
the SAP R/3 implementation toolset, the value of LiveModel may be jeopardized.
We must continue to enhance LiveModel and/or introduce new products that build
upon the ASAP Implementation Assistant to retain and grow our revenues.
SAP also provides an environment that fosters competition to LiveModel
through a published API to the models in their repository. Existing competitors
such as IDS Scheer and Micrografix already have access to these APIs.
The major competitor in the SAP business modeling marketplace is IDS
Scheer with the ARIS product line which offers broad BPR capabilities.
Other competitors are expected to enter this business modeling
marketplace. In addition, SAP offers the ASAP Implementation Assistant with a
subset of the capabilities of our products for version 3.1 and earlier of the
R/3 system.
LiveInterface competitors include data transformation and middleware
vendors who have invested in technologies to access data within SAP R/3. Our
strategy is to partner with these vendors and to develop follow-on product
offerings that result in a more complete solution for the customer.
TestDirector's primary competitors are Autotester Inc. and SAP. Both
companies have test automation tools and test management tools for use in SAP
R/3. Both have a close focus on SAP implementations. In additional, SAP's
Computer Aided Testing Tool (CATT) is delivered free with the R/3 Developers
Workbench. We intend to compete with these tools in several ways:
- - emphasize integration with LiveModel as a key differentiator which supports
process-based testing;
- - emphasize the ability of TestDirector to address all of a customer's
enterprise systems, not just SAP.
The PowerModel business continues to decline primarily due to the
declining market for internal application development and the focus for new
application development is on Windows and Java applications. Since neither of
these application delivery platforms is the primary development environment for
PowerModel, PowerModel is susceptible to competition from many sources. The
major market has been the existing customer base where the value of PowerModel
facilities are appreciated, and the applications built with PowerModel continue
to need support.
Many of our current and prospective competitors have significantly
greater financial,
7
<PAGE> 8
technical, manufacturing and sales and marketing resources. These companies, as
well as other hardware and database software vendors can be expected to develop
and market additional competitive products in the future. In addition, a variety
of established companies are also building object-oriented products as
extensions to their existing product lines. These events could have a material
adverse effect on the company.
RISKS RELATING TO DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
We are dependent upon a limited number of key management, technical and
sales personnel, the loss of whom would be adverse to our business. In addition,
in the future, we may need to replace existing key management, technical, or
sales personnel in order to maintain or increase our business. Because of the
complexity and breadth of our product line in certain technical areas, we may
have only a single employee with appropriate expertise in a particular product
line. The loss of any such employee can have the effect of slowing down or
halting development with respect to a product until the Company is able to
locate and hire another technical person with the requisite expertise.
In addition, certain management, technical and support personnel are
relatively new to the Company, and our success in the future will depend in part
on successful assimilation of new personnel. Our future success will depend in
part upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We
compete for such personnel with other companies, academic institutions,
government entities and other organizations. The ability to recruit, on a timely
basis, appropriate personnel to staff the various development efforts will be a
key factor in the success of those projects.
If the Company cannot recruit the appropriate personnel and must hire
outside consultants to perform this work, our margins may be reduced. We may not
be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel. It is particularly
difficult to hire personnel with SAP expertise. Loss of key personnel or
inability to hire and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations. From time to time, we have
experienced significant turnover in our sales force. We may not be able to
reduce this periodic turnover in our sales force and, as a result, we may lose
sales opportunities, market share or customers. These events could have a
material adverse effect on the company.
RISKS RELATING TO DEPENDENCE ON LOWER MARGIN SERVICE REVENUES
A significant amount of our revenues has been derived from contract and
other services. The operating margins from revenues for such services are
substantially lower than the operating margins from revenues for our software
products. This disparity principally results from the low cost of materials,
royalties, and other costs of our software products, as compared with the
relatively high personnel costs (including the higher cost of using outside
consultants) incurred in providing consulting services.
In addition, as the proportion of contract and other service revenues
increases, the overall margins will decrease accordingly. As a result of our
reliance on contract and other revenues, our overall operating margins may be
lower than those for software companies that do not derive such a significant
percentage of revenues from contract and other services. In addition, our
operating margins have in the past and may in the future vary significantly as a
result of changes in the proportion of revenues attributable to products and
services. These events could have a material adverse effect on the company.
RISKS RELATING TO PAST AND POTENTIAL FUTURE LOSSES
Over the last five years, we have experienced aggregate consolidated net
losses of over $14,656,000, including a net loss of $1,694,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 and $698,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998 (including
a one-time charge of $2,700,000 related to the purchase of in-process research
and development related to the UPI technology acquisition) and a net loss of
$1,884,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. We may also have losses in future
years. We may not be able to attain and maintain profitability.
Our working capital at June 30, 1998 was $6,973,000 as compared to
$6,838,000 at June 30, 1997. Management's financial plans for fiscal year 1999
anticipate sufficient revenues so as not to require additional capital
resources. However, we may, from time to time, need to raise additional capital
through debt or equity financing and such financing may not be available. If
revenues for fiscal year 1999 do not meet management's expectations, and
additional financings are not available, management has the ability and intent
to reduce certain expenditures to lower our cost base, if required. As a result
of these factors, we believe our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 and
expected cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund operations
during fiscal 1999.
To allow our Common Stock to remain listed for trading on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, we are required to maintain a minimum capital and surplus. In
the past, our capital and surplus have fallen below the Nasdaq minimum. This
failure to maintain the minimum capital and surplus required us to exchange debt
for preferred stock and to issue additional equity securities in 1996 and 1997.
Significant additional losses could adversely affect our ability to maintain the
required minimum capital
8
<PAGE> 9
and surplus in the future. Should our Common Stock be delisted from the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, the trading market for the Common Stock may be adversely
affected.
RISKS RELATING TO POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
Our quarterly revenues and operating results have in the past, and may
in the future, vary significantly due to such factors as:
- - the length of sales cycles,
- - the timing of new product introductions,
- - changes in pricing policies by the Company and its competitors,
- - market acceptance of new products, and enhanced versions of existing
products, and
- - the information systems department budgets of its customers.
Although a significant portion of our revenues in each quarter results
from orders received in that quarter, the majority of our expense levels are
fixed, based on expectations of future revenues. In addition, a substantial
amount of our quarterly revenues have typically been recorded in the third month
of the fiscal quarter with a concentration of such revenues in the last half of
the month. The timing of the closing of large license agreements increases the
risk of quarter to quarter fluctuations. As a result, if revenues are not
realized as expected, our operating results will be materially adversely
affected. Accordingly, it is likely that we would experience disproportionate
declines in our operating results if revenues were to decline. In addition, it
is possible that in some future quarter our operating results will be below the
expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price
of our Common Stock would likely be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO CONCENTRATED PRODUCT LINE
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from LiveModel: SAP
R/3 Edition and LiveInterface and related products and services and expect this
concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, any factor
adversely affecting the demand for, or pricing of, LiveModel and LiveInterface
and related products and services would have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations. Our future financial performance will depend
significantly on the successful development and customer acceptance of new and
enhanced versions of products.
RISKS RELATING TO CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
For fiscal 1998, revenues from the sale of products and services to SAP
accounted for 19% of total revenue. The level of revenues received from this
customer may not continue in future periods. In addition, certain customers may
account for a significant portion of net revenues in a particular quarter, which
may lead to significant variations in quarterly results.
RISKS RELATING TO NEED FOR CHANNEL PARTNERS
In order to reach higher levels of revenue and sustainable growth, we
may need channel partners for the sale, distribution and co-marketing of our
products. Such partners may include:
- - SAP,
- - consulting firms,
- - systems integrators,
- - traditional software distributors or hardware or software companies with
established distribution channels.
We have an agreement with some global SAP Implementation Partners to
promote or to utilize our LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition. These channel partners are
instrumental in gaining acceptance of our modeling tools both for their
consulting methodology as well as by their customers for continuing operating
requirements. We anticipate that a significant portion of fiscal year 1999
revenues will be generated through these arrangements and other similar
arrangements or agreements with consulting firms and hardware companies.
We also plan to sell our LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition through the SAP
sales force. We may not be able to achieve significant sales through our global
implementation partners or SAP. Also, we may not be successful in establishing
additional channel partner arrangements, and even if such relationships are
established, they may not prove to be commercially successful. In addition, our
partners may utilize their relative size or financial strength to our
disadvantage. These events could have a material adverse effect on the company.
RISKS RELATING TO MANAGING A CHANGING BUSINESS
Since its inception, we have experienced changes in our operations which
have placed significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial
resources. Our future performance will depend in part on our ability to manage
change, both in our domestic and international operations, and to adapt our
operational and financial control systems as necessary to respond to changes in
our business. The failure of our management to effectively respond to and manage
changing business conditions could have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.

<PAGE> 10
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS RISKS
Approximately 28% of our net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998 and 36% of our net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 were
attributable to international sales. Most international revenues to date have
been derived from license revenues. We currently offer local language versions
of our products. Although we intend to offer additional localized product
releases in the future, such releases may not be successfully developed or, if
developed, they may not achieve market acceptance.
We face certain risks as a result of international sales. Our results
could be affected adversely by short-term fluctuations in currency exchange
rates. Additionally, our international operations may be affected by changes in
demand resulting from long-term changes in interest and currency exchange rates.
We are also subject to other risks associated with international operations,
including:
- - tariff regulations and requirements for export licenses, particularly with
respect to the export of certain technologies, which may on occasion be
delayed or difficult to obtain,
- - unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
- - longer accounts receivable payment cycles,
- - difficulties in managing international operations,
- - potentially adverse tax consequences,
- - economic and political instability,
- - restrictions on repatriation of earnings,
- - the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, and
- - patterns of customers' staff vacations, especially in Europe, that may
reduce our earnings in the first fiscal quarter.
In addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect our products
and intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United
States. Such factors may have an adverse effect on our future international
sales and, consequently, on our business and results of operations. With the
exception of limited patent protection in Canada, we have no patents protecting
our products in foreign markets.
RISKS RELATING TO PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
We regard our software as proprietary and attempt to protect it by
relying upon copyrights, trade secret and patent laws and contractual
nondisclosure safeguards as well as restrictions on transferability that are
incorporated into our software license agreements. We license our software
products to customers rather than transferring title. In spite of these
precautions, it may be possible for competitors or users to copy aspects of our
products or to obtain information which we regard as trade secrets without
authorization, or to develop similar technology independently.
In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be
unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We license LiveInterface in
a machine-independent form for users to install into their SAP R/3 systems. This
practice increases the possibility of misappropriation or other misuse of our
products. We have not required end-users of Kappa-PC (a PowerModel product) and
LiveModel: SAP R/3 Edition (and derivative editions), LiveAnalyst and
LiveInterface to sign license agreements. Instead, the license agreement for
these products is included in the product packaging, and the packaging explains
that by opening the seal the user is agreeing to the terms of the license
agreement. It is uncertain whether "Shrink-wrap" license agreements of this type
are legally enforceable.
Our first three patents, relating primarily to knowledge-based
technology, were issued between June 1987 and May 1990. Our fourth patent with
respect to certain technologies integrated in its PowerModel product was issued
in May 1994. We filed an additional patent application in June 1994 relating to
our object Management Workbench LiveModel product. However, further patents may
not be issued with respect to our products, and existing patent and copyright
laws afford us only limited practical protection. Although we believe that our
products and technology do not infringe on any existing proprietary rights of
others, there exist several patents with claims that might extend to our
products, which, together with the growing use of patents to protect software,
has increased the risk that third parties may assert infringement claims against
us in the future. Any such claims, with or without merit, could result in costly
litigation or might require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.
Such royalty or license agreements, if required, may not be available on terms
acceptable to us or at all. We do not have insurance to cover the risk of
infringement claims.
In view of the rapid rate of technological change in the areas in which
we do business and the uncertainty of the scope of the protection afforded by
copyright and patent laws, we do not believe that copyrights or patents will be
of major competitive advantage to us. Rather, we believe that we must rely
primarily on the technical competence and creative ability of our personnel to
improve and update our software products and create additional products in order
to be successful.

RISKS RELATING TO STOCK PRICE
The trading price of our Common Stock is subject to wide fluctuations in
response to:
- - variations in our actual or anticipated quarterly operating results,
- - announcements of our new products or technological innovations or those of
our competitors, and
- - general conditions in the industry.
In addition, stock markets for securities of high technology companies
have experienced extreme price and volume trading volatility in recent years.
This volatility may have a substantial effect on the market prices of securities
of many high-technology companies for reasons unrelated to the operating
performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
In March 1997, we issued Series B Preferred Stock that may, at the
option of the Company, be exchanged for convertible promissory notes (the
"Notes"). The dividends on Series B Preferred Stock, or the interest on the
Notes may be and are expected to be payable in Common Stock instead of cash for
one year. The Series B Preferred Stock or the Notes are convertible into Common
Stock at the election of the holders. We are registering for resale the shares
of Common Stock issuable with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock or the
Notes, as well as the Common Stock expected to be issued in payment of dividends
or interest. If all the shares reserved for these purposes were issued, it would
significantly increase the number of shares outstanding. Sales or issuance of
substantial amounts of our Common Stock by the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock or others in the future could adversely affect the market price of the our
Common Stock.
Substantially all of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock are
eligible for sale in the public market. In addition, the holders of stock
options could exercise their option and sell the vested shares in the public
market.
RISKS RELATING TO YEAR 2000 ISSUE
We have conducted a comprehensive review of our information and
non-information technology systems to identify the systems that could be
affected by the year 2000 Issue. The year 2000 issue is the result of computer
programs being written using two digits rather than four to define applicable
year. Any of our programs that have time-sensitive software or micro controllers
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a major system failure or miscalculations.
Based on our assessment to date, all of our newly introduced products
and services are year 2000 compliant, although some of the Company's customers
are running older versions that are not year 2000 compliant. We have been
encouraging customers to migrate to current product versions. In addition, we
face risks to the extent that suppliers of products, services and systems
purchased by us and others with whom we transact business on a worldwide basis
do not have business systems or products that comply with the year 2000
requirements. To the extent that we are not able to test technology provided by
third party hardware or software vendors, we are in the process of obtaining
assurances from such vendors that their systems are year 2000 compliant. This
assurance process has not yet been completed. In the event any such third
parties cannot in a timely manner provide us with products, services or systems
that meet the year 2000 requirements, our operating results could be materially
adversely affected. Although, we believe that the cost of year 2000
modifications for both internal use software and systems or our products are not
material, various factors relating to the year 2000 compliance issues, including
litigation, may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the need for
contingency plans with respect to year 2000 requirements. The necessity of any
contingency plan must be evaluated on a case by case basis and will vary
considerably in nature depending on the year 2000 issue we may need to address.
Our expectations as to the extent and timeliness of modifications required in
order to achieve Year 2000 compliance is a forward-looking statement subject to
risks and uncertainties. Actual results may vary materially as a result of a
number of factors, including, among others, those described in this paragraph
and the paragraph below. We may not be able to successfully modify on a timely
basis such products, services and systems to comply with year 2000 requirements.
Such failure could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
All or a portion of the Shares of Common Stock offered hereby by the
Selling Stockholders may be delivered and/or sold in transactions from time to
time on the over-the-counter market at prices prevailing at the time, at prices
related to such prevailing prices or at negotiated prices and/or may also be
used to cover any short positions previously established. The Selling
Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling to or through one or more
broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that participate
in the distribution may under certain circumstances be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions
received by such broker-dealers and any profits realized on the resale of Shares
by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify such
broker-dealers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders with respect to the Shares offered hereby against certain
liabilities, including, without limitation, certain liabilities under the
Securities Act.
Any broker-dealer participating in such transactions as agent may
receive commissions from the Selling Stockholders (and, if they act as agent for
the purchaser of such Shares, from such purchaser). Broker-dealers may agree
with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of Shares at a
stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to
do so acting as agent for the Selling Stockholders, to purchase as principal any
unsold Shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to
the Selling Stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire Shares as principal may
thereafter resell such Shares from time to time in transactions (which may
involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and
through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described
above) in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in
connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such
Shares commissions computed as described above.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in the distribution of the resale of shares may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common
stock of the company for a period of two business days prior to the commencement
of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the
selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of shares of the company's common stock by the selling security holders.
Each Selling Stockholder will pay all commissions, transfer taxes, and
other expenses associated with the sale of securities such Selling Stockholder.
The Shares offered hereby are being registered pursuant to contractual
obligations of the Company, and the Company has paid the expenses of the
preparation of this Prospectus. The Company has not made any underwriting
arrangements with respect to the sale of Shares offered hereby.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The registrant has the power to indemnify its officers and directors
against liability for certain acts pursuant to Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Section A of Article Ninth of the
registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides:
1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior
to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 excise
taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall
indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right
and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred
in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of
such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation
of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The
Corporation may by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to
employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the
foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
2. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any
II-1
<PAGE> 17
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
3. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or
loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

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 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,
(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
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed 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 registrations 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 registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
B. 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
II-2
<PAGE> 18
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.

REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to IntelliCorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") which the Company proposes to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on December 17, 1998 for the purpose of registering
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 1,000,000 shares of its Common
Stock, par value $.001 (the "Shares") pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement
between ICS Deloitte Management LLC and the Company, dated January 23, 1998 (the
"Asset Purchase Agreement").
We have assumed the authenticity of all records, documents and
instruments submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all
records, documents and instruments submitted to us as copies.
In rendering our opinion, we have examined the following records,
documents and instruments:
(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, certified by the
Delaware Secretary of State as of December 4, 1998, and certified to
us by an officer of the Company as being complete and in full force as
of the date of this opinion;
(b) The Bylaws of the Company certified to us by an officer of the Company
as being complete and in full force and effect as of the date of this
opinion;
(c) A Certificate of an officer of the Company (i) attaching records
certified to us as constituting all records of proceedings and actions
of the Board of Directors,
<PAGE> 2
IntelliCorp, Inc.
December 17, 1998 Page 2
including any committee thereof, and stockholders of the Company
relating to the Shares, and the Registration Statement, and (ii)
certifying as to certain factual matters;
(d) The Registration Statement;
(e) The Asset Purchase Agreement; and
(f) A letter from Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, the Company's transfer
agent, dated December 14, 1998, as to the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock that were outstanding on December 14, 1998.
This opinion is limited to the federal law of the United States of
America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we
disclaim any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We further
disclaim any opinion as to any other statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, order
or other promulgation of any other jurisdiction or any regional or local
governmental body or as to any related judicial or administrative opinion.
Based upon the foregoing and our examination of such questions of law as
we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, and
assuming that (i) the Registration Statement becomes and remains effective
during the period when the Shares are offered and issued, (ii) the full
consideration stated in the Asset Purchase Agreement for each Share is received
and that such consideration in respect of each Share includes payment of cash or
other lawful consideration at least equal to the par value thereof, (iii)
appropriate certificates evidencing the Shares are executed and delivered by the
Company, and (iv) all applicable securities laws are complied with, it is our
opinion that when issued by the Company, in the manner provided in the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Statement, the Shares will be legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Registration
Statement and is solely for your benefit. This opinion may not be relied upon by
you for any other purpose, or relied upon by any other person, firm, corporation
or other entity for any purpose, without our prior written consent. We disclaim
any obligation to advise you of any change of law that occurs, or any facts of
which we may become aware, after the date of this opinion.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
