PROSPECTUS

                          GLASGAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

                        1,150,227 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK


     This  Prospectus  relates to the  reoffer  and  resale by  certain  selling
stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") of shares (the "Shares") of the Common
Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Glasgal Communications,  Inc., a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company")  that were (i) previously  issued by the
Company to the Selling Shareholders or (ii) will be issued by the Company to the
Selling  Shareholders  upon the conversion of the Company's Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred").

     The Company  will not receive any  proceeds  from the sale of the Shares by
the Selling  Stockholders  or upon  conversion  of the Series C  Preferred.  The
Company has agreed to bear certain  expenses  including  expenses of counsel for
one of the Selling  Stockholders'  not to exceed $5,000 (but  excluding  selling
commissions and fees and expenses of other advisors to the Selling Stockholders)
in connection with the  registration and sale of the Shares being offered by the
Selling Stockholders.

     The  Shares may be offered by the  Selling  Stockholders,  or by  pledgees,
donees,  transferees or other successors in interest therefrom from time to time
in transactions on one or more exchanges or in the  over-the-counter  market, in
negotiated  transactions,  or a  combination  of such methods of sale,  at fixed
prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices  related  to  prevailing  market  prices or at  negotiated  prices.  Such
transactions may be effected by selling the Shares to or though  broker-dealers,
and such  broker-dealers  may  receive  compensation  in the form of  discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Selling  Stockholders  and/or the purchasers
of the  Shares  for whom such  broker-dealers  may act as agents or to whom they
sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer
might be in excess of the customary  commissions).  To the extent required,  the
specific Shares to be sold, the names of the holders, the public offering price,
the names of such agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commission or
discount with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying
Prospectus Supplement.

     The  Company's  Common  Stock  is  traded  on the  Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market
("Nasdaq")  under the symbol  ("GLAS").  On November 18,  1996,  the closing bid
price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq was $4-1/2.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         THE  SECURITIES  OFFERED  HEREBY  INVOLVE A HIGH  DEGREE OF RISK.  EACH
PROSPECTIVE  INVESTOR  SHOULD  CAREFULLY  CONSIDER  THE  FOLLOWING  RISK FACTORS
INHERENT  IN, AND  AFFECTING  THE  BUSINESS  OF, THE  COMPANY  BEFORE  MAKING AN
INVESTMENT DECISION.  ON OCTOBER 31, 1996, THE COMPANY COMPLETED THE ACQUISITION
OF DATATEC INDUSTRIES INC. ("DATATEC"). THE ACQUISITION WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR ON
A POOLING OF INTERESTS  BASIS,  HOWEVER,  THE HISTORICAL  FINANCIAL  INFORMATION
INCLUDED HEREIN DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE  INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO DATATEC,
WHICH FINANCIAL INFORMATION WILL EVENTUALLY BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN.

         Working  Capital  Deficiencies;  History of Losses.  The  Company has a
history of limited working  capital and had a working capital  deficiency in the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1995 of  $2,412,000.  In the fiscal year ended April
30, 1996,  and the three  months  ended July 31,  1996,  the Company had working
capital of $2,470,000 and $2,412,000,  respectively.  In addition,  although the
Company had net income of $57,000 for the three months  ended July 31, 1996,  it
incurred net losses of  $1,643,000,  and  $1,180,000  for the fiscal years ended
April  30,  1995 and 1996.  There  can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will
generate  sufficient  revenues to meet expenses or to operate  profitably in the
future.

         Revolving  Credit  Facility.  The Company's  primary  revolving  credit
facility expired on September 30, 1996. Datatec is a party to a revolving credit
facility  which  expires on March 31, 1997.  There can be no assurance  that the
Company  will be able to enter into a new  revolving  credit  agreement.  If the
Company is unable to enter into a new revolving credit agreement,  the Company's
business may be materially adversely affected.

         Dependence On Key Personnel.  The Company's  future success  depends in
large part on the continued  service of its key personnel.  In  particular,  the
loss of the services of Isaac Gaon, Chief Executive  Officer,  Robert Gadd, Vice
President - Federal and Enterprise Systems,  David Tobey,  President of Computer
Aided Software Integration,  Inc. ("CASI"), of which the Company owns 80% of the
issued  and  outstanding  shares  or  Christopher  Carey,  President  and  Chief
Executive Officer of Datatec,  of which the Company owns approximately  98.5% of
the issued and outstanding  shares,  could have a material adverse effect on the
operations of the Company. The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Gaon
which  expires on October 31, 1999,  which may be  terminated by the Company for
cause or by Mr. Gaon for good reason.  The Company has an  employment  agreement
with Mr. Tobey which  expires on April 30, 2001,  which may be terminated by the
Company for cause or by Mr. Tobey for good reason. The Company has an employment
agreement  with Mr.  Gadd which  expires on  December  31, 1996 and which may be
terminated by Mr. Gadd upon six months prior written notice to the Company.  The
Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Carey

                                       -3-

<PAGE>
which  expires on October 31, 1999,  which may be  terminated by the Company for
cause or by Mr. Carey for good reason.  The Company's  future success and growth
also depends on its ability to continue to attract,  motivate and retain  highly
qualified  employees,  including those with the technical expertise necessary to
operate the business of the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to attract, motivate and retain such persons.

         Competition.  The Company competes with other companies involved in the
installation  and  servicing of local and wide area  networks,  the provision of
software  tools  to  systems   integrations   and  the   distribution   of  data
communications  equipment.  These  competitors  include computer  manufacturers,
software vendors,  telephone companies and distribution companies. These markets
are highly  competitive,  and some companies with which the Company competes are
substantially larger and have significantly  greater resources than the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete  successfully
in the future.

         Export  Sales;  Adverse  Effect of  Inability  to  Collect  All  Export
Receivables.  For the fiscal  year ended April 30,  1995,  the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1996 and the three  months  ended July 31, 1996 the Company had export
sales which were approximately 11.7%, 8.5% and 6.7%, respectively, of net sales.
While the Company  attempts to obtain  payment on export sales prior to shipment
or to obtain  letters of credit,  it is not always able to do so. The collection
of  receivables  pertaining to export sales is generally more difficult than the
collection of receivables arising from domestic sales. There can be no assurance
that the  Company  will be  successful  in its  efforts to  collect  all of such
receivables.  The  inability  of the Company to collect all of such  receivables
could have an adverse  effect on the Company's  cash flows and revenues.  Of net
accounts  receivable  at July  31,  1996,  approximately  $567,000  (6.2%)  were
attributable to export sales. In addition, the Company's  international business
is  subject to  various  risks  common to  international  activities,  including
political  instability,   economic  instability  and  recessions,  the  inherent
difficulty of  administering  business abroad and the need to comply with a wide
variety of foreign  import and U.S.  export laws,  tariffs and other  regulatory
requirements. The Company's competitiveness in overseas markets generally may be
negatively  impacted  when there is a  significant  increase in the value of the
dollar against  European  currencies or the currencies of other  countries where
the  Company  does  business.  The  Company  also  expects to  continue  to face
heightened  competition  from  manufacturers  and  distributors  in the European
market.

         Control by Principal  Stockholders.  Ralph Glasgal, the Chairman of the
Board and President of the Company, through his beneficial ownership and through
a voting agreement with Direct Connect  International Inc. ("DCI") has the power
to vote approximately 24% of the Common Stock. DCI has pledged 1,175,000

                                       -4-

<PAGE>
of the shares of Common Stock it owns in the Company as  collateral  for a loan.
If the pledgee were to become the owner of such  shares,  Mr.  Glasgal  would no
longer have the power to vote such shares. In addition, Mr. Carey, President and
Chief Executive  Officer of Datatec has the power to vote  approximately  18% of
the Common Stock.

         Extended Lead Times for  Realization of Revenue.  Due to the nature and
size of orders  that the  Company is now  pursuing  there is a longer  lead time
between  the  initiation  of  prospective  business  and the  consummation  of a
transaction, if any. Consequently,  significantly more resources are required to
manage this process. As such, there is likely to be substantial  fluctuations in
sales volume on a month-to-month  and  quarter-to-quarter  basis. The pursuit of
this type of business increases the Company's risk of failure,  especially given
its present level of working capital.  As a result,  if the Company  experiences
lower than expected sales volume for an extended period of time, there will be a
material adverse effect on the Company.

         Uncertainty  of  Revenues  From  Recent  Contract.  While  the  Company
recently  entered into a contract with Telos  Corporation  ("Telos") to act as a
subcontractor  under Telos'  contract with the  Immigration  and  Naturalization
Service (the "INS"), the contract is an "open" contract,  which may be cancelled
by the INS at any time  without  penalty.  While the  Company  has made sales of
approximately  $7,521,000 under this contract as of April 30, 1996, there can be
no  assurance  that any  future  sales  will  result or that any such sales will
result in  profits  for the  Company.  In  addition,  due to the  United  States
government  budget  impasse,  sales to date under this  contract have been lower
than  expected.  No assurance can be given as to when the budget impasse will be
resolved.

         Shares Eligible for Future Sale. The sale, or availability for sale, of
substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market pursuant to Rule 144 or
otherwise could adversely  affect the market price of the Common Stock and could
impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its
equity securities.

         The Redeemable  Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying such
Redeemable  Warrants,  upon exercise  thereof,  will be freely tradeable without
restriction  under the Securities  Act,  except for any  Redeemable  Warrants or
shares of Common Stock purchased by an "affiliate" of the Company, which will be
subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Also, an
additional 950,000 redeemable warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying
such redeemable  warrants are registered  under the Securities  Act.  Holders of
such redeemable  warrants have agreed not to Transfer such redeemable  warrants,
or the underlying shares of Common Stock,  prior to March 21, 1997,  without the
prior written consent of Joseph Stevens & Company and the Company.

                                       -5-

<PAGE>
         The shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion of the Company's
Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the "Series A Preferred"),  the Series B
Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the "Series B Preferred")  and Series C Preferred
(together  with the Series A  Preferred  and Series B Preferred  the  "Preferred
Stock") will be freely tradeable  without  restriction under the Securities Act.
As of the date hereof,  approximately  1,659,593 shares of Common Stock would be
issuable by the Company upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.  Such number
of shares of  Common  Stock may  increase  based  upon the  market  price of the
Company's Common Stock at the time of the conversion of the Preferred Stock.

         In  addition,  without  the  consent of Joseph  Stevens & Company,  the
Company has agreed not to sell or offer for sale any of its securities  prior to
March 21, 1997, except pursuant to outstanding options and warrants and pursuant
to the Company's existing option plan and no option shall have an exercise price
that is less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of
grant.

         No  Dividends.  The Company has not paid  dividends on its Common Stock
since its  inception,  other  than  distributions  made by the  Predecessor  (as
hereinafter defined) to stockholders of the Predecessor in amounts sufficient to
reimburse the Predecessor's stockholders for federal (and some state) income tax
liabilities arising from the Predecessor's  former status as an "S" corporation.
The  Company  currently  intends  to  retain  earnings,  if any,  for use in the
business and does not anticipate paying any dividends to its stockholders in the
foreseeable future.

         Rights of Common Stock  Subordinate  to Existing  and Future  Preferred
Stock. The Certificate of  Incorporation of the Company  authorizes the issuance
of a maximum of 4,000,000  shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.
The Company  currently  has  outstanding  250,000  shares of Series A Preferred,
25,000  shares of Series B  Preferred  and  75,000  of Series C  Preferred.  The
holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends in an amount of
6% per annum and are entitled to a preferential  distribution  on liquidation of
the Company.  In addition,  the Company may be required to redeem the  Preferred
Stock under certain circumstances. The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible
into  Common  Stock  in  accordance  with  their   respective   Certificates  of
Designation.  Holders of the  Preferred  Stock are not  entitled  to vote on any
matter submitted to the stockholders,  provided,  however,  that the affirmative
vote of the  holders  of a  majority  of the  outstanding  Preferred  Stock,  is
required as to those  matters  which (i) alter or change  adversely  the powers,
preferences  or rights given to the Preferred  Stock or (ii) authorize or create
any class of stock  ranking as to  dividends  or  distribution  of assets upon a
liquidation  senior  to,  prior to or pari passu with the  Preferred  Stock.  If
additional shares of preferred stock are

                                       -6-

<PAGE>
issued in the future, the terms of a series of preferred stock may be set by the
Company's Board of Directors without approval by the holders of the Common Stock
of the  Company.  Such terms could  include,  among  others,  preferences  as to
dividends and  distributions  on  liquidation  as well as separate  class voting
rights.  The rights of the holders of the Company's Common Stock will 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.

         Certain  Anti-takeover  Charter  Provisions.  The  future  issuance  of
preferred stock by the Company could have the effect of making it more difficult
for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a
majority  of the  outstanding  voting  stock  of the  Company.  Other  than  the
Preferred Stock described herein, the Company does not have any present plans to
issue any additional shares of preferred stock.

         Acquisitions.  It is  currently  anticipated  that  a  portion  of  the
Company's  future  growth  will  result from  acquisitions  of other  similar or
complementary   businesses.   In  October  1994,  the  Company  consummated  the
acquisition  of Signatel,  Ltd.  ("Signatel").  On April 24,  1996,  the Company
acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding  capital stock of CASI, a provider of
software  tools and services to systems  integrators  and  independent  software
vendors.  On  July  31,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  100% of the  issued  and
outstanding  capital  stock of HH  Communications,  Inc.  ("HH"),  which resells
computer networking  equipment and provides  value-added  services in connection
with such  equipment.  On October 31, 1996, the Company  acquired  approximately
98.5% of the  issued  and  outstanding  capital  stock  of  Datatec,  a  network
integrator.  The Company has no other  current  plan or agreement to acquire any
other  business.  There can be no assurance that any other  transaction  will be
consummated  or that they  will  result in  increased  levels of profit  for the
Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
integrate or manage successfully other acquired businesses.

                                   THE COMPANY

         In May 1994,  Glasgal  Communications,  Inc., a New Jersey  corporation
incorporated  in  1975  (the  "Predecessor")  merged  with  and  into  Sellectek
Incorporated,  a California corporation  incorporated in 1983 ("Sellectek") (the
"Merger").  The  surviving  entity,  Sellectek,  changed  its  name  to  Glasgal
Communications,  Inc. following the Merger and continued its existence under the
laws of the  State of  California.  The  Merger  provided  the  Company  with an
immediate  infusion of  approximately  $750,000 in cash contributed by Sellectek
and  created a  publicly-traded  vehicle  to finance  the  future  growth of the
Company's  operations.  Prior to the  Merger,  Sellectek  was a  publicly-traded
company  whose  common  stock was  listed on Nasdaq  under the  symbol  ("SLTK")
without any on-going  business  operations.  The Company's  sole business is the
business of the Predecessor, and while Sellectek was the survivor of the Merger,
for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a reverse acquisition with the
Predecessor  as the acquiror.  On January 29, 1996,  the Company  reincorporated
into  the  State  of  Delaware.  Glasgal  Communications,   Inc.,  a  California
corporation,  merged  with and into  Glasgal  Communications,  Inc.,  a Delaware
corporation, which corporation was incorporated in January 1996. As used in this
Prospectus,  the term "Company" refers  collectively to Glasgal  Communications,
Inc., the Predecessor, Signatel, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, CASI,
of which the Company owns 80% of the issued and outstanding shares, HH, a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of the  Company,  and  Datatec,  of which  the  Company  owns
approximately 98.5% of the issued and outstanding shares.

         The Company is an open systems  integrator  that designs,  installs and
services  local  and wide  area  networks  which  incorporate  a broad  range of
computer  hardware,  networking  systems  and  software  products  and  provides
software  tools and services  which  simplify the  integration  of systems.  The
Company also distributes  data  communications  equipment.  Networks are used to
distribute  information which can be in the form of data, voice,  images,  video
and facsimile to multiple  users.  A local area network  ("LAN")  allows for the
transmission  and  sharing of data  within  one  location.  A wide area  network
("WAN") allows for the  transmission  and sharing of data among many  locations.
The Company's  strength as an open systems integrator lies in its WAN expertise,
as well as its capabilities in connecting  disparate  computing  systems thereby
facilitating  virtually seamless  communication among organizations.  As an open
systems  integrator,  the  Company  provides  consulting  and  design  services,
hardware,  software, premises wiring, phone lines, installation and after- sales
service.

         Although  the  Company  was  founded in 1975 as a  distributor  of data
communications  equipment  and  services,  beginning  in 1991 the Company  began
redirecting its efforts to become an open systems integrator  providing complete
computer network systems and

                                       -8-

<PAGE>
integration  services.  The Company believes that the integration  service sales
will account for an  increasingly  larger  percentage of the Company's  sales in
future periods.

           The Company is a single  source  supplier of equipment  and telephone
line services from a variety of providers. The Company is an authorized reseller
of products for over 100 manufacturers and distributors,  including Novell Inc.,
SCO Unix (Santa Cruz Operations, Inc.), Intel Corporation,  Hewlett-Packard Co.,
Bay Networks, Inc., Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation, Micom Communications,
Inc.,  Microcom  Inc.,  Cisco Systems Inc.,  RAD Data  Communications,  Inc. and
Racal-Datacom Inc. In addition, the Company resells telephone line services from
major companies, including LDDS WorldCom, Inc., Metropolitan Fiber Systems, Inc.
and Qwest Communications, Inc.

         The  Company  has 15 sales and service  offices  throughout  the United
States and five  offices in Canada.  The  Company's  export  sales  amounted  to
approximately  8.5% and 6.7% of net sales for the fiscal  year  ended  April 30,
1996 and the three months ended July 31, 1996, respectively. These sales are for
hardware  only,  which are sold to over fifty  international  agents  around the
world.

         The  Company's  objective  is to become one of the leading open systems
integrators  providing complete enterprise  networking solutions to national and
international organizations. To achieve its objective, the Company will continue
to supplement its core competency in data  communications  with its expertise in
all aspects of networking and connectivity.

         On October 28, 1994, the Company  consummated the acquisition of all of
the  voting  capital  stock  of  Signatel,   a  Canadian   distributor  of  data
communications  equipment and services for 875,000  shares of Common Stock.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

         The  Company's  executive  offices are located at 151  Veterans  Drive,
Northvale,  New  Jersey  07647.  The  telephone  number of the  Company is (201)
768-8082.

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         On  April  24,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  80%  of the  issued  and
outstanding  capital  stock of CASI for a purchase  price of  $500,000  cash and
44,260  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  CASI is a provider of software
tools and services to systems  integrators  independent  software  vendors,  and
corporate   information   system   departments   which   simplify   the  design,
installation,  integration  and  support of  information  systems.  These  tools
utilize a proprietary Application Definition Language to load information system
configuration and messaging parameters into a common repository. This repository
is used by each tool comprising the

                                       -9-

<PAGE>
Integrator's Workbench Product Series ("IWPS") to automate the administration of
and information  exchange among  heterogeneous  system  environments.  CASI also
provides  services  which assist  customers in using IWPS,  or which use IWPS to
distribute fully integrated systems in support of customer contracts.

         On July 31, 1996,  the Company  acquired 100% of the Common Stock of HH
in exchange for  1,500,000  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  HH resells
computer networking  equipment and provides  value-added  services in connection
with such equipment.

         On September  30, 1996,  October 29, 1996,  and November 15, 1996,  the
Company  consummated  three separate  financings with  Southbrook  International
Investments,  Ltd.  (the  "Southbrook  Placements")  pursuant to which it issued
250,000 shares of Series A Preferred,  25,000 shares of Series B Preferred,  and
75,000  shares of Series C  Preferred,  respectively.  The net  proceeds  of the
Southbrook  Placements  aggregating  approximately  $6,590,000 are being used to
fund the working capital needs of the Company and Datatec.

         On October 31, 1996, the Company  acquired  approximately  98.5% of the
Common Stock of Datatec in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock.  Datatec is a network  integrator  which  provides full  integration  and
deployment  services  to a wide range of  customers  concentrated  in the retail
market.  Datatec has fifteen offices throughout the United States and one office
in Canada, and has approximately 300 employees.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         No net  proceeds  will be realized by the Company  from the sale of the
Shares offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders.

(1)      Approximation based on the hypothetical conversion of 250,000 shares of
         Series A Preferred,  25,000  shares of Series B  Preferred,  and 75,000
         shares of Series C Preferred on November 18, 1996. The actual number of
         shares  of  Common   Stock  that  would  be  issuable  to  the  Selling
         Stockholder  upon  conversion of the Preferred Stock is determined by a
         conversion  formula which is based, in part, on the market price of the
         Common Stock  determined as of the date of conversion  and,  therefore,
         can not be determined on the date hereof.

(2)      The number of shares to be offered hereby was  established  pursuant to
         certain  registration  rights  which were granted by the Company to the
         Selling  Stockholders  upon  issuance of the Series C  Preferred.  Such
         number was determined by multiplying two by the number of shares of the
         Company's  Common  Stock which would have been  issuable by the Company
         upon conversion of the Series C Preferred on its date of issuance.

(3)      Assumes that all Common  Stock  offered by the Selling  Stockholder  is
         sold.

  The Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part was filed by the
Company  pursuant  to  certain   registration  rights  granted  to  the  Selling
Stockholders.  There is no assurance that the Selling Stockholder that holds the
Series C Preferred  will  convert the Series C  Preferred  or that such  Selling
Stockholder or any other Selling  Stockholder  will otherwise opt to sell any of
the Shares offered  hereby.  To the extent  required,  the specific Shares to be
sold, the names of the Selling  Stockholders,  other additional shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by such Selling Stockholders, the public offering price
of the Shares to be sold, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter employed
by such Selling  Stockholders  in connection  with such sale, and any applicable
commission or discount  with respect to a particular  offer will be set forth in
an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.

  The Shares covered by this Prospectus may be sold from time to time so long as
this Prospectus remains in effect.  Since the Selling Stockholders may be liable
if they sell  Shares  when this  Prospectus  is not in effect,  the  Company has
agreed to notify the Selling  Stockholders  if at any time this Prospectus is no
longer in effect. The Selling  Stockholders  expect to sell the Shares at prices
then attainable,  less ordinary brokers'  commissions and dealers'  discounts as
applicable.

  The Selling  Stockholders  and any broker or dealer to or through  whom any of
the Shares are sold may be deemed to be underwriters

                                      -11-

<PAGE>
within  the  meaning of the  Securities  Act with  respect  to the Common  Stock
offered  hereby,  and any profits  realized by the Selling  Stockholders or such
brokers  or  dealers  may be deemed  to be  underwriting  commissions.  Brokers'
commissions and dealers' discounts, taxes and other selling expenses to be borne
by the Selling  Stockholders  are not expected to exceed normal selling expenses
for sales over-the-counter or otherwise, as the case may be. The registration of
the Shares  under the  Securities  Act shall not be deemed an  admission  by the
Selling   Stockholders  or  the  Company  that  the  Selling   Stockholders  are
underwriters for purposes of the Securities Act of any Shares offered under this
Prospectus.

                                 TRANSFER AGENT

  The  transfer  agent,  warrant  agent and  registrar  for the Common  Stock is
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

  This Prospectus  covers 1,150,227 shares of the Company's Common Stock. All of
the  Shares  offered  hereby  are being sold by the  Selling  Stockholders.  The
securities  covered by this  Prospectus  may be sold  under Rule 144  instead of
under this Prospectus. The Company will realize no proceeds from the sale of the
Shares  by the  Selling  Stockholders  or upon the  conversion  of the  Series C
Preferred.

  The  distribution of the Shares by the Selling  Stockholders is not subject to
any underwriting agreement. The Selling Stockholders or their pledgees,  donees,
transferees  or other  successors  in  interest  therefrom  may sell the  Shares
offered hereby from time to time in transactions  on one or more  exchanges,  in
the  over-the-counter  market, in negotiated  transactions,  or a combination of
such methods of sale,  at fixed prices  which may be changed,  at market  prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices  relating to prevailing  market prices
or at negotiated prices. In addition, from time to time the Selling Stockholders
may engage in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other
transactions in securities of the Company or derivatives  thereof,  and may sell
and deliver the shares in connection therewith.

  From time to time the Selling Stockholders may pledge their Shares pursuant to
the margin  provisions  of its  customer  agreements  with its  brokers.  Upon a
default by the Selling  Stockholders,  the broker may offer and sell the pledged
Shares.

  Such  transactions  may be  effected  by  selling  the  Shares  to or  through
broker-dealers,  and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts,  concessions or commissions from the Selling  Stockholders and/or the
purchasers  of the Shares for whom such  broker-dealers  may act as agents or to
whom they sell as  principals,  or both (which  compensation  as to a particular
broker-

                                      -12-

dealer  might  be  in  excess  of  the  customary   commissions).   The  Selling
Stockholders   and  any   broker-dealers   that  participate  with  the  Selling
Stockholders in the  distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriters
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the  Securities  Act and any  commissions
received  by them and any profit on the resale of the Shares may be deemed to be
underwriting  commissions  or discounts  under the  Securities  Act. The Selling
Stockholders  will pay any transaction costs associated with effecting any sales
that occur.

  In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states,  if applicable,
the  Shares  will be  sold in such  jurisdictions  only  through  registered  or
licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition,  in certain states the Shares may not
be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption  from the  registration  or  qualification  requirement is
available and is complied with by the Company and the Selling Stockholders.

  Under  applicable  rules and  regulations  under the Exchange  Act, any person
engaged  in the  distribution  of the Shares  may not  simultaneously  engage in
market-making activities with respect to the Company's Common Stock for a period
of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition
and without limiting the foregoing,  the Selling Stockholders will be subject to
applicable  provisions  of the  Exchange  Act  and  the  rules  and  regulations
thereunder,  including without limitation,  Rules 10b-6, 10b-6A and 10b-7, which
provisions  may limit the timing of the  purchases and sales of shares of Common
Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

  The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the price or prices at which
it may sell their Shares. Sales of such Shares 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 time,  and it is
possible  that a  significant  number of  Shares  could be sold at the same time
which  may also have an  adverse  effect on the  market  price of the  Company's
Common Stock.

  The  Company  has  agreed  to  pay  all  fees  and  expenses  incident  to the
registration of the Shares,  except selling commissions and fees and expenses of
counsel or any other  professionals  or other  advisors,  if any, to the Selling
Stockholders.

  This  Prospectus also may be used,  with the Company's  consent,  by donees or
other transferees of the Selling Stockholders, or by other persons acquiring the
Common Stock under  circumstances  requiring or making desirable the use of this
Prospectus for the offer and sale of such shares.

                              CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS

  In June 1994, the Company  determined to change accountants to Arthur Andersen
LLP. The Company's prior auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick resigned. On the same date,
the Company engaged Arthur Andersen LLP, to audit its financial statements.  The
decision to change accountants was made with the approval of the Company's Board
of Directors.

  The  Company  believes,  and has been  advised  by KPMG Peat  Marwick  that it
concurs in such belief, that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 and
subsequent  thereto,  the  Company  and  KPMG  Peat  Marwick  did not  have  any
disagreement  on any matter of accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement,  if not
resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG Peat Marwick,  would have caused it to make
reference in connection with its report on the Company's financial statements to
the subject matter of the disagreement.

  No report of KPMG Peat  Marwick  on the  Company's  financial  statements  for
either of the past two fiscal years contained an adverse  opinion,  a disclaimer
or opinion or a qualification or was modified as to uncertainty,  audit scope or
accounting principles.

ITEM 15.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Article  6  of  the  Company's  By-laws  authorize  indemnification  of
directors and officers as follows:

         The corporation  shall, to the fullest extent  permitted by Section 145
of the General  Corporation Law of Delaware,  as that Section may be amended and
supplemented from time to time, indemnify any director, officer or trustee which
it shall  have  power to  indemnify  under the  Section  against  any  expenses,
liabilities  or other  matters  referred to in or covered by that  Section.  The
indemnification  provided for in this Article (i) shall not be deemed  exclusive
of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law,
agreement or vote on stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,  both
as to action in their official  capacities and as to action in another  capacity
while holding such office,  (ii) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a  director,  officer or trustee  and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of  such  a  person.  The  corporation's
obligation to provide  indemnification under this Article shall be offset to the
extent  of any other  source  of  indemnification  or any  otherwise  applicable
insurance  coverage  under a policy  maintained by the  corporation or any other
person.

         Expenses incurred by a director of the Corporation in defending a civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director of the  Corporation (or was serving at the  Corporation's  request as a
director or officer of another  corporation) shall be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such  director to repay such amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be

                                      II-1

<PAGE>
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by relevant sections of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.

         To assure  indemnification  under this  Article of all such persons who
are  determined  by  the  corporation  or  otherwise  to  be  or  to  have  been
"fiduciaries"  of any employee  benefit plan of the corporation  which may exist
from time to time, such Section 145 shall, for the purposes of this Article,  be
interpreted as follows: an "other enterprise" shall be deemed to include such an
employee  benefit  plan,  including,   without  limitation,   any  plan  of  the
corporation  which  is  governed  by the  Act  of  Congress  entitled  "Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974," as  amended  from time to time;  the
corporation  shall be deemed  to have  requested  a person to serve an  employee
benefit  plan  where  the  performance  by  such  person  of his  duties  to the
corporation  also  imposes  duties on, or otherwise  involves  services by, such
person to the plan or participants or  beneficiaries  of the plan;  excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee  benefit plan  pursuant to such
Act of Congress shall be deemed "fines"; and action taken or omitted by a person
with respect to an employee  benefit plan in the  performance  of such  person's
duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of
the  participants  and  beneficiaries  of the plan  shall be  deemed to be for a
purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

         Section  145  of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law  provides  as
follows:

                  (a) A  corporation  may  indemnify  any person who was or is a
         party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
         completed  action,  suit  or  proceeding,   whether  civil,   criminal,
         administrative  or investigative  (other than action by or in the right
         of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he 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,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or
         other  enterprise,   against  expenses  (including   attorneys'  fees),
         judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
         incurred by him in connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding if
         he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably  believed to be in
         or not opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation,  and,  with
         respect to any criminal action or proceeding,  had no reasonable  cause
         to believe his conduct was  unlawful.  The  termination  of any action,
         suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
         plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create
         a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
         which  he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed  to the  best
         interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action

                                      II-2

<PAGE>



         or  proceeding,  had  reasonable  cause to believe that his conduct was
         unlawful.

                  (b) A  corporation  may  indemnify  any person who was or is a
         party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
         completed  action  or suit by or in the  right  of the  corporation  to
         procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he 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,  partnership,  joint venture,
         trust or other enterprise against expenses (including  attorneys' fees)
         actually and reasonably  incurred by him in connection with the defense
         or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
         manner  he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed  to the best
         interests of the corporation and except that no  indemnification  shall
         be made in  respect  of any  claim,  issue or matter  as to which  such
         person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation  unless
         and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
         such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application  that,
         despite  the   adjudication  of  liability  but  in  view  of  all  the
         circumstances  of the  case,  such  person  is  fairly  and  reasonably
         entitled to indemnity for such expenses  which the Court of Chancery or
         such other court shall deem proper.

                  (c) To the extent that a director,  officer, employee or agent
         of a  corporation  has been  successful  on the merits or  otherwise in
         defense of any action,  suit or proceeding  referred to in  subsections
         (a) and (b) of this  section,  or in  defense  of any  claim,  issue or
         matter therein,  he shall be indemnified  against  expenses  (including
         attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably  incurred by him in connection
         therewith.

                  (d) Any indemnification  under subsections (a) and (b) of this
         section  (unless  ordered by a court) shall be made by the  corporation
         only as  authorized  in the  specific  case upon a  determination  that
         indemnification of the director,  officer,  employee or agent is proper
         in the  circumstances  because he has met the  applicable  standard  of
         conduct  set forth in  subsections  (a) and (b) of this  section.  Such
         determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a majority
         vote of a quorum  consisting  of directors who were not parties to such
         action, suit or proceeding,  or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable,
         or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested  directors so directs,
         by  independent  legal  counsel  in a  written  opinion  or  (3) by the
         stockholders.

                  (e) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a
         civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding

                                      II-3

<PAGE>
         may be paid by the  corporation in advance of the final  disposition of
         such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
         behalf of such  director  or officer  to repay such  amount if it shall
         ultimately be determined  that he is not entitled to be  indemnified by
         the corporation as authorized in this section.  Such expenses  incurred
         by other  employees  and  agents  may be so paid  upon  such  terms and
         conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

                  (f) The  indemnification  and advancement of expenses provided
         by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall
         not be deemed  exclusive  of any other  rights to which  those  seeking
         indemnification  or  advancement  of expenses may be entitled under any
         bylaw,  agreement,  vote of stockholders or disinterested  directors or
         otherwise,  both as to action in his official capacity and as to action
         in another capacity while holding such office.

                  (g) A  corporation  shall have power to purchase  and maintain
         insurance  on behalf of any person who 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,   partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or  other
         enterprise  against any liability  asserted against him and incurred by
         him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether
         or not the  corporation  would have the power to indemnify  him against
         such liability under this section.

                  (h)  For  purposes  of  this   section,   references  to  "the
         corporation" shall include,  in addition to the resulting  corporation,
         any   constituent   corporation   (including   any   constituent  of  a
         constituent)  absorbed  in a  consolidation  or  merger  which,  if its
         separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
         indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any
         person who is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of such
         constituent  corporation,  or is or was  serving at the request of such
         constituent  corporation as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
         another  corporation,   partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or  other
         enterprise,  shall stand in the same  position  under this section with
         respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with
         respect to such constituent  corporation if its separate  existence had
         continued.

                  (i)  For  purposes  of  this  section,  references  to  "other
         enterprises"  shall  include  employee  benefit  plans;  references  to
         "fines"  shall  include  any excise  taxes  assessed  on a person  with
         respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the
         request of the

                                      II-4

<PAGE>
         corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee
         or agent of the  corporation  which  imposes  duties  on,  or  involves
         services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to
         any employee  benefit plan, its  participants or  beneficiaries;  and a
         person who acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed
         to be in  the  interest  of the  participant  and  beneficiaries  of an
         employee  benefit  plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner  "not
         opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation"  as referred to in
         this section.

                  (j) The  indemnification  and advancement of expenses provided
         by, or granted  pursuant  to,  this  section  shall,  unless  otherwise
         provided when  authorized or ratified,  continue as to a person who has
         ceased to be a director,  officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
         the  benefit  of the  heirs,  executors  and  administrators  of such a
         person.

         The Company  maintains a directors  and officers  insurance and company
reimbursement   policy.  The  policy  insures  directors  and  officers  against
unindemnified  loss arising from certain  wrongful acts in their  capacities and
reimburses  the  Company  for such  loss for  which  the  Company  has  lawfully
indemnified the directors and officers.  The policy contains various exclusions,
none of which relate to the offering hereunder.

         The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each officer and
director of the  Company.  The  contracts  provide for  indemnification  of such
persons against expenses, liabilities and losses.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)  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 an  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.

         (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file,  during any  period in which  offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed  in  the  registration  statement  or  any  material  change  to  such
information in the registration statement;

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
the Securities Act of 1933, each  post-effective  amendment that contains a form
of prospectus  shall be deemed to 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  registration by means of a  post-effective
amendment  any of the  securities  being  registered  which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

                  (4) That, for purposes of determining  any liability under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  the  information  omitted from the form of  prospectus
filed as part of this  Registration  Statement  in  reliance  upon Rule 430A and
contained  in a form of  prospectus  filed by the  Registrant  pursuant  to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the  Securities  Act of 1933 shall be deemed to
be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (c) The undersigned  Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities

                                      II-6

<PAGE>
Act of 1933, each filing of the  Registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section
13(a)  or  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 the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized,  in the City of  Northvale,  State of New  Jersey on the 20th day of
