PROSPECTUS 

                               NAM CORPORATION 
                               1,400,000 UNITS 
              EACH UNIT CONSISTING OF ONE SHARE OF COMMON STOCK 
                          AND ONE REDEEMABLE WARRANT 

   Of the 1,400,000 Units (the "Units") offered hereby, 1,250,000 Units 
include common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), which 
is offered by NAM Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and 
150,000 Units (the "Selling Stockholders Units") include Common Stock which 
is offered by two executive officers of the Company (the "Selling 
Stockholders") (collectively, the "Offering"). The Company has also granted 
Joseph Stevens & Company, L. P. (the "Underwriter") an option to purchase up 
to an additional 210,000 Units (the "Over-allotment Option"). Each Unit 
consists of one share of Common Stock and one redeemable warrant (the 
"Redeemable Warrants," collectively with the Units and the Common Stock 
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Securities"). The shares of Common 
Stock and Redeemable Warrants comprising the Units will be detachable and 
separately transferable immediately upon issuance. The Redeemable Warrants 
included in the Selling Stockholders Units will be issued by the Company. The 
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Selling 
Stockholders Units, although the Company will receive proceeds from the 
exercise, if any, of the Redeemable Warrants included in the Selling 
Stockholders Units. See "Use of Proceeds," "Selling Stockholders" and 
"Description of Securities." This Prospectus also relates to the registration 
by the Company, at its expense, for the account of certain security holders 
(the "Selling Private Placement Stockholders") of 139,447 shares of Common 
Stock (the "Private Placement Stockholder Shares"), which were issued in 
connection with a prior private placement financing. None of the Private 
Placement Shares are being underwritten in this Offering and the Company will 
not receive any proceeds from their eventual sale. The Selling Private 
Placement Stockholders have agreed not to sell their Private Placement Shares 
without the prior written consent of the Underwriter for a period of 18 
months from the date hereof. See "Offer by the Selling Private Placement 
Stockholders and Plan of Distribution." 

   Each Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of 
Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment, at any 
time from issuance until November 13, 2001 and is redeemable by the Company, 
with the prior written consent of the Underwriter, at a redemption price of 
five cents ($.05) commencing November 13, 1997 on thirty (30) days' prior 
written notice, provided that the average closing bid price of the Common 
Stock equals or exceeds $9.00, subject to adjustment, for any twenty trading 
days within a period of thirty consecutive trading days ending on the fifth 
trading day immediately prior to the notice of redemption. See "Description 
of Securities." 

   Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Units, the 
Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants and there can be no assurance that 
any such market will develop after the completion of this Offering or, if 
developed, that it will be sustained. See "Underwriting" for a discussion of 
the factors considered in determining the offering price per Unit. The Units, 
the Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants have been approved for quotation 
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (the "Nasdaq SmallCap") under the symbols 
"NAMCU," "NAMC," and "NAMCW," respectively, and for listing on the Boston 
Stock Exchange (the "BSE") under the symbols "NAMU," "NAM," and "NAMW," 
respectively. The Company and the Underwriter may jointly determine, based 
upon market conditions, to delist the Units upon the expiration of the 30 day 
period commencing on the date of this Prospectus.

                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY 

   The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and 
should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and 
financial statements (including the notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in 
this Prospectus. Each prospective investor is urged to read this Prospectus 
in its entirety. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this 
Prospectus relating to share and per share data gives effect to (i) a one for 
two reverse stock split which was effected on March 29, 1996 and (ii) a 
 .14436 of a share stock dividend distributed on April 1, 1996 to all holders 
of Common Stock. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this 
Prospectus assumes no exercise of the (i) Redeemable Warrants; (ii) 
Over-allotment Option; or (iii) Underwriter's Warrants. 

                                 THE COMPANY 

   NAM Corporation (the "Company") provides alternative dispute resolution 
("ADR") services principally to insurance companies, law firms, large 
self-insured corporations and municipalities. An ADR proceeding is designed 
to replace the public court system as a forum for resolving civil disputes. 
The Company offers its clients personalized attention and access to qualified 
hearing officers (generally retired judges) to either mediate or arbitrate 
their disputes. The cases currently handled by the Company are primarily 
disputes involving claims for injury to persons or property allegedly arising 
out of acts of negligence and are usually covered by insurance. The Company 
believes it is one of the leading providers of ADR services in New York State 
based upon the number of cases processed since 1993. The Company has offices 
currently located in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, South Carolina 
and Tennessee, through which it has the ability to provide ADR services on a 
nationwide basis with a roster of over 600 qualified hearing officers. 

   The Company believes that the ADR business is a growing service industry 
based upon the continuing inability of the public court system to manage 
effectively its docket of civil cases. An ADR proceeding is intended to 
streamline the traditional cumbersome public litigation process. As compared 
to the public court system, an ADR proceeding generally offers litigants: a 
faster resolution, confidentiality, reduced expense, flexibility in 
procedures and solutions, and control over the process. The ADR proceeding 
also has the potential to preserve business relations among the parties 
because of its less adversarial nature and potential for a prompt resolution. 

   The Company provides services to more than 50 major insurance companies, 
law firms, large self-insured corporations and municipalities, including 
Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, Royal Insurance Group, The Travelers 
Insurance Company, American International Group, Conrail and the City of 
Philadelphia. To date, the Company has focused the majority of its marketing 
efforts on developing relationships, and expanding existing relationships, 
with insurance companies which the Company believes are some of the largest 
consumers of ADR services. The Company derives its revenues from fees charged 
to the parties in an ADR proceeding, which are charged on an hourly basis for 
hearings, conferences and deliberations by hearing officers, and set amounts 
for administrative services. 

   As compared to the majority of its competitors, the management of the 
Company believes it has certain advantages which enable it to better serve 
its clients. These advantages include (1) qualified hearing officers, who are 
generally former judges, (2) software that provides detailed case management 
reporting ability which enables clients to review the history of cases 
submitted and the status of pending matters, (3) case reporting that can be 
customized to meet a client's needs, (4) account executives dedicated to 
specified clients, (5) the ability to monitor and control the scheduling of 
matters, and (6) videoconferencing capability which allows clients to 
participate or observe a proceeding without leaving their office. In 
addition, during 1997 the Company expects to offer clients "on-line" case 
submission and reporting which will further improve the Company's ability to 
serve the needs of its clients. 

   The Company's objective is to become one of the leading providers of ADR 
services on a national basis. The Company intends to achieve this goal 
through the opening of new offices in states where it does 

                                      4 
<PAGE>

not presently have an office, which will enable the Company to serve more 
fully its current clients and attract new clients. This proposed expansion 
may include the acquisition of existing ADR companies. Presently, the Company 
does not have any agreements to acquire any such companies. The Company 
intends to open approximately four to six new offices in the United States 
over the next two years. It is currently anticipated that the Company will 
open new offices in: Illinois, Arizona, Washington D.C., Wisconsin, Florida 
and Connecticut. 

   The Company believes that the domestic ADR industry is, other than a few 
national entities, generally fragmented into small ADR service providers. The 
Company further believes that the trend in the ADR industry is towards 
consolidation of providers who are capable of offering national and regional 
ADR programs. The Company's planned expansion will enable it to exploit this 
trend. In addition, the Company intends to increase its marketing of its ADR 
services to litigants in other types of disputes, including complex 
commercial issues, construction, employment and worker's compensation cases. 

   The Company was formed on January 12, 1994 under the laws of the State of 
Delaware. The Company's executive offices are currently located at 1010 
Northern Boulevard, Suite 336, Great Neck, New York 11021.

   The summary financial information set forth below is derived from and 
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, 
including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. In

                                 RISK FACTORS 

   The Units offered hereby are speculative and involve a high degree of 
risk, including, but not necessarily limited to, the risk factors described 
below. An investment should only be made by persons who can afford a loss of 
their entire investment. Each prospective investor should carefully consider 
the following risk factors and the other information included in this 
Prospectus before making any investment decision. 

   No Assurance of Continued Profitability. Although the Company has been 
profitable for the last three fiscal years, there can be no assurance that 
the Company will be able to continue to operate on a profitable basis in the 
future. In fact, the Company anticipates a substantial increase in its 
expenses associated with the implementation of its expansion plans. These 
increases may result in a short-term net loss as new offices are opened and 
the Company supports such new offices until they fully develop, if ever. 

   Lack of Written Contracts with Clients; Dependence on Referrals. The 
Company currently relies on its relationships with, and marketing efforts to, 
insurance companies, law firms, large self-insured corporations and 
municipalities to obtain cases. The Company does not have written agreements 
with the majority of its clients, but the Company has recently instituted the 
process of obtaining written agreements with its existing clients and with 
new clients. There can be no assurance that in the future the Company will 
continue to receive its current level of, or an adequate level of, referrals 
of cases. If the Company does not maintain such levels, there could be a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business. 

   Dependence Upon Qualified Hearing Officers. The market for the Company's 
services depends on a perception by clients that the Company's hearing 
officers are impartial, qualified and experienced. The Company's ability to 
retain qualified hearing officers in the face of increasing competition is 
uncertain. Approximately 97% of the Company's hearing officers are retained 
on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, at any time, these hearing officers can 
refuse to continue to provide their services to the Company and are free to 
render services independently or through competing ADR services. If qualified 
hearing officers are unwilling or unable to continue to provide their 
services through the Company for any reason, including possible agreements to 
provide their services to the Company's competitors on an exclusive basis, 
the Company's business and operations could be materially and adversely 
effected. 

   Dependence on Insurance-Related Disputes. The majority of the Company's 
ADR business involves claims for damages to persons and/or property arising 
from alleged acts of negligence and are usually covered by insurance. In many 
instances, these disputes are resolved in a matter of hours. Since the 
Company's revenues are derived primarily from certain administrative and 
hourly fees, a high volume of these cases is required in order for the 
Company to generate sufficient revenues. There can be no assurance that the 
Company will be able to expand its business outside of the insurance-related 
dispute segment, or maintain its current level of cases. 

   Possible Improvements in the Public Court System, Including Use of ADR 
Services. The ADR industry in general furnishes an alternative to public 
dispute mechanisms, principally the public courts. The Company's marketing 
efforts have been based on its belief that there exists a high degree of 
dissatisfaction among litigants and their counsel with the public court 
system. If the public courts, in the markets the Company is currently serving 
or seeks to serve, reduce case backlogs and provide effective settlement 
mechanisms at no, or substantially reduced, cost to litigants, the Company's 
business opportunities in such markets may be significantly reduced. Several 
public court systems, both on the federal and state level, including certain 
federal and state courts located in New York State, have instituted court 
coordinated ADR programs and similar programs are under consideration in a 
number of states and may be adopted at any time. These federal and state 
court programs have generally been instituted by the establishment of lists 
of either volunteer or compensated hearing officers who are generally 
practicing attorneys who would be available to litigants to choose as an 
arbitrator or mediator to hear a dispute. These programs may require 
litigants either to mediate or pursue a non-binding arbitration of the 
dispute at least once prior to pursuing fully the judicial litigation 
process. The programs may also offer the litigants an opportunity to mediate 
or arbitrate a dispute voluntarily. The success of such ADR programs could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business by diminishing the 
demand for private ADR services. 

   Competition. The ADR business is highly competitive, both on a national 
and regional level. Barriers to entry in the ADR business are relatively low, 
and new competitors can begin doing business relatively quickly. There are 
two types of competitors, not-for-profit and for-profit entities. The Company 
believes the largest not- 

                                      8 
<PAGE>

for-profit competitor is the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") which 
has significant market share in complex commercial cases. The Company 
believes that the largest for-profit ADR provider in the country is Judicial 
Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc./Endispute ("JAMS"). At this time, 
management believes that numerous other private ADR firms are competing with 
the Company in the regions it currently serves and in other areas of the 
United States where the Company may open new offices. Increased competition 
could decrease the fees the Company is able to charge for its services and 
limit the Company's ability to obtain qualified hearing officers. This could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to be profitable in 
the future. Certain competitors may have greater financial, and other, 
capabilities than the Company. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the 
Company can successfully compete in the present or future marketplace for ADR 
services. 

   Significant Start Costs Associated with the Establishment of New 
Offices. Significant start-up costs will be incurred in connection with 
opening and operating new offices, including expenses such as leases, office 
equipment, furnishings, and salaries for management, sales and clerical 
personnel. In these new areas, organizations similar to and in competition 
with the Company may have been doing business for some time, and therefore, 
will have competitive advantages over the Company. These advantages include 
contacts with potential consumers of the Company's services, such as law 
firms and insurance companies, and with retired judges and lawyers who act as 
hearing officers. In addition, the account representatives who establish the 
new offices are very important to the success of such offices. While 
management of the Company believes that in the future, the Company may be 
competitive in some or all of the planned new markets, there is no assurance 
that any of the Company's new offices will ever be profitable. For example, 
the Company opened up an office in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area in August, 
1994 and closed it in April, 1995 due to disappointing performance. 

   Dependence on Key Personnel. The success of the Company will be largely 
dependent on the personal efforts of Roy Israel, the Chief Executive Officer, 
President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Although the 
Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Israel, which 
expires in 1997, the loss of his services could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business and prospects. The Company has obtained 
"key-man" life insurance on the life of Mr. Israel, of which the Company is 
sole beneficiary in the amount of $1 million. The success of the Company is 
also dependent upon its ability to hire and retain qualified marketing and 
other personnel in its existing and new offices. In the New York office, 
account executives are directly managed by the supervisor of the various 
sales teams. The supervisors report to the Executive Vice President. In the 
regional offices, account executives are supervised directly by the regional 
manager for the office who reports to the Director of Regional Offices. The 
Director of Regional Offices reports to the Executive Vice President. Mr. 
Israel is responsible for the overall performance of the sales staff. 
Generally, account executives in the New York office are interviewed by the 
Executive Vice President and the President/ CEO. With regard to the hiring in 
other offices, potential account executives are usually interviewed by each 
office's regional manager, then the Director of Regional Offices meets with 
them, and finally, either the Executive Vice President or President/ CEO 
interviews the candidate. Account executives are trained by a supervisor, the 
Director of Regional Offices or the office's regional manager over 
approximately a two week period. This training includes the development of 
marketing skills and the introduction to customers of the Company. After this 
initial period, the new account executive's performance is closely monitored. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to hire or retain 
such necessary personnel. See "Management." 

   Broad Discretion in Application of Proceeds. Approximately $1,110,000 or 
approximately 28% of the estimated net proceeds of this offering has been 
allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes by management. 
Accordingly, the Company's management will have broad discretion as to the 
application of such proceeds. 

   Absence of Dividends. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its 
Common Stock, except with respect to certain distributions relating to when 
National was an S-corporation, and does not expect to do so in the 
foreseeable future. See "Certain Transactions" and "Management's Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." 

   Possible Adverse Effects of Authorization of Preferred Stock. The 
Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that up to 5,000,000 shares 
of Preferred Stock may be issued by the Company from time to time in one or 
more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights, 
preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon any 
wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares of 
any series of Preferred Stock and the designation of any such series, without 
any vote or action by the Com- 

                                      9 
<PAGE>

pany's stockholders. The Board of Directors may authorize and issue Preferred 
Stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting 
power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. In addition, the 
potential issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, 
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, may discourage 
bids for the Common Stock at a premium over the market price of the Common 
Stock and may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. See 
"Description of Securities--Preferred Stock." 

   Control by Current Stockholders. When this Offering is completed, current 
shareholders will beneficially own 1,724,978 shares or 55% of the Common 
Stock outstanding. Of that number, Mr. Israel will beneficially own 1,197,139 
shares or 38% of the Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders acting in 
concert will have the ability to elect or remove any or all of the Company's 
directors and to control substantially all corporate activities involving the 
Company, including tender offers, mergers, proxy contests or other purchases 
of Common Stock that could give stockholders of the Company the opportunity 
to realize a premium over the then prevailing market price for their shares 
of Common Stock. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders." See 
"Management--Directors, Director Nominee, Executive Officers and Significant 
Employees" and "Certain Transactions." 

   Benefit of the Offering to Certain Affiliates and Insiders. Roy Israel and 
Cynthia Sanders, the Company's Executive Vice President, are selling in the 
aggregate 150,000 shares of Common Stock (of their 1,460,194 shares of Common 
Stock beneficially owned) in this Offering which were purchased at prices 
well below the initial public offering price per Unit. The Selling 
Stockholders will realize substantial gains as a result of their sale of such 
shares. In addition, the Company is providing the Redeemable Warrants that 
are part of the Selling Stockholders' Units and the Company will derive no 
benefit from the sale of such Redeemable Warrants. The Company is also paying 
on behalf of the Selling Stockholders the underwriting discounts and 
non-accountable expense related to the sale of the Selling Stockholders 
Units. The registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, also 
includes the registration of the Private Placement Shares. The Private 
Placement Shares (139,447) were purchased at prices substantially less than 
the initial public offering price per Unit in this Offering and the Selling 
Private Placement Stockholders, at the time they sell, may realize 
substantial gain. A portion of the proceeds of this Offering will be used to 
satisfy a certain private placement financing, of which Mr. Israel, Ms. 
Sanders and Mr. Charles Merola, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, 
shall receive $10,000 in the aggregate plus interest. See "Use of Proceeds" 
and "Offer by the Selling Private Placement Stockholders and Plan of 
Distribution." 

   Proceeds from the Sale of Securities by Selling Securityholders. The 
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Selling 
Stockholders Units or the Private Placement Shares. See "Use of Proceeds," 
and "Offer by the Selling Private Placement Stockholders and Plan of 
Distribution." 

   Forward-Looking Information May Prove Inaccurate. This Prospectus contains 
various forward-looking statements and information that are based on 
management's beliefs, as well as assumptions based upon information currently 
available to management. When using this document, the words "expect," 
"anticipate," "estimate," and similar expressions are intended to identify 
forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks, 
uncertainties and assumptions including those identified above. Should one or 
more of these risks or circumstances materialize, or should underlying 
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those 
anticipated, estimated or projected. 

   Immediate Substantial Dilution. The purchasers of the Units will incur an 
immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of each 
share of Common Stock from the initial public offering price of $2.81 or 70% 
per Unit. Dilution represents the difference between the price of the Common 
Stock sold hereby and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of the 
Company after the Offering. Additional dilution to future net tangible book 
value per share may occur upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, the 
Underwriter's Warrants and certain options that may be issued or exercised 
under the Plan. See "Dilution." 

   Arbitrary Offering Price of the Units and Exercise Price of the Redeemable 
Warrants. The offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the 
Redeemable Warrants are completely arbitrary and are not based upon the 
Company's assets, book value, cash flow, potential earnings or any other 
established criteria of value. The initial public offering price for the 
Units and the exercise price of the Redeemable Warrants were determined by 
negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter, and should not be 
regarded as indicative of any future market price of the Units, Common Stock 
or Redeemable Warrants. See "Underwriting." 

                                      10 
<PAGE>

   Redeemable Warrants; Future Financings. The holders of the Redeemable 
Warrants and the Underwriter Warrants will have the opportunity to profit 
from a rise in the price of the Common Stock. The existence of these warrants 
may adversely affect the terms on which the Company can obtain additional 
equity financing in the future and the holders can be expected to exercise 
them when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain additional 
capital by offering additional shares of its unissued Common Stock on terms 
more favorable to the Company than the terms provided by these warrants. 

   Repayment of Debt. The Company will use $445,000 of the proceeds of the 
Offering to repay the Private Placement Notes with interest. See "Use of 
Proceeds." 

   Potential Adverse Effect of Redemption of the Redeemable Warrants. The 
Redeemable Warrants are redeemable by the Company, with the prior written 
consent of the Underwriter, at a price of $.05 per Redeemable Warrant 
commencing 12 months from the date of this Prospectus, provided that (i) 30 
days' prior written notice is given to the holders of the Redeemable 
Warrants, and (ii) the closing bid price per share of the Common Stock as 
reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap (or the last sale price, if quoted on a 
national securities exchange) for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 
consecutive trading days, ending on the fifth day prior to the date of the 
notice of redemption, has been at least 150% of the exercise price per share, 
subject to adjustment in certain events. The holders of the Redeemable 
Warrants will automatically forfeit their rights to purchase the shares of 
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Redeemable Warrants unless the 
Redeemable Warrants are exercised before they are redeemed. Notice of 
redemption of the Redeemable Warrants could force the holders to exercise the 
Redeemable Warrants and pay the respective exercise prices at a time when it 
may be disadvantageous for them to do so, to sell the Redeemable Warrants at 
the market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the Redeemable 
Warrants, or to accept the redemption price which is likely to be 
substantially less than the market value of the Redeemable Warrants at the 
time of redemption. See "Description of Securities-- Redeemable Warrants." 

   Current Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration Required to Exercise 
Redeemable Warrants. Holders will have the right to exercise the Redeemable 
Warrants and purchase shares of Common Stock only if a current prospectus 
relating to such shares is then in effect and only if the shares are 
qualified for sale under the securities laws of the applicable state or 
states, or there is an exemption from the applicable qualification 
requirements. The Company has undertaken and intends to file and keep 
effective and current a prospectus which will permit the purchase and sale of 
the Common Stock underlying the Redeemable Warrants, but there can be no 
assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Although the Company 
intends to qualify for sale the shares of Common Stock underlying the 
Redeemable Warrants in those states in which the securities are to be 
offered, no assurance can be given that such qualification will occur. 
Holders of the Redeemable Warrants may be deprived of any value if a 
prospectus covering the shares issuable upon the exercise thereof is not kept 
effective and current or if such underlying shares are not, or cannot be, 
registered in the applicable states. Although the Company does not presently 
intend to do so, the Company reserves the right to call the Redeemable 
Warrants for redemption whether or not a current prospectus is in effect or 
such underlying shares are not, or cannot be, registered in the applicable 
states. See "Description of Securities--Redeemable Warrants." 

   Shares Eligible for Future Sales. Sales of shares of Common Stock by 
existing shareholders, or by holders of options, under Rule 144 of the 
Securities Act could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the 
Units, the Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants. The Company has agreed 
with the Underwriter to cause holders of not less than 95% of the shares of 
Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering to execute lock-up agreements 
with the Underwriter that restrict the sale or disposition of shares of 
Common Stock for 18 months from the date of this Prospectus without the prior 
written consent of the Underwriter. In addition, for 24 months from the date 
of this Prospectus, these shares will be sold only through the Underwriter. 
The Underwriter may consent to a waiver of this lock-up period without prior 
public notice. Subject to this lock-up restriction, of the 3,124,978 shares 
of Common Stock that will be outstanding after this Offering, 139,447 shares 
owned by the Selling Private Placement Stockholders are eligible for 
immediate sale and 1,516,476 shares are eligible for immediate sale pursuant 
to Rule 144. Beginning in June, 1998, 7,152 shares will be eligible for sale 
pursuant to Rule 144 subject to the lock-up agreement described above. See 
"Description of Securities" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." 

                                      11 
<PAGE>

   Lack of Experience of Underwriter. Although the Underwriter commenced 
operations in May 1994, it does not have extensive experience as an 
underwriter of public offerings of securities. The firm is relatively small 
and no assurance can be given that it will be able to participate as a market 
maker in the Securities, and no assurance can be given that any broker-dealer 
will make a market in the Units, the Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants. 
See "Underwriting." 

   Underwriter's Potential Influence on the Market. It is anticipated that a 
significant amount of the Units will be sold to customers of the Underwriter. 
Although the Underwriter has advised the Company that it intends to make a 
market in the Securities, it will have no legal obligation to do so. Such 
market making activity may be discontinued at any time. Moreover, if the 
Underwriter sells the securities issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's 
Warrants, it may be required under the Exchange Act to suspend temporarily 
its market-making activities. The prices and the liquidity of the Units, the 
Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants may be significantly affected by the 
degree, if any, of the Underwriter's participation in the market. No 
assurance can be given that any market activities of the Underwriter, if 
commenced, will be continued. See "Underwriting." 

   No Prior Public Trading Market; Possible Delisting from Nasdaq SmallCap; 
Disclosure Relating to Low Priced Stocks. Prior to the Offering there has 
been no public trading market for the Units, the Common Stock or the 
Redeemable Warrants. Although the Units, the Common Stock and the Redeemable 
Warrants have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap, there can 
be no assurance that a trading market will develop or, if developed, that it 
will be maintained. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company 
will in the future meet the maintenance criteria for continued quotation of 
the securities on the Nasdaq SmallCap. The maintenance criteria for the 
Nasdaq SmallCap include, among other things, $2,000,000 in total assets, 
$1,000,000 in capital and surplus, a public float of 100,000 shares with a 
market value equal to $200,000, two market makers and a minimum bid price of 
$1.00 per share of common stock. If an issuer does not meet the $1.00 minimum 
bid price standard, it may, however, remain on the Nasdaq SmallCap if the 
market value of its public float is at least $1,000,000 and the issuer has at 
least $2,000,000 in equity. If the Company were removed from the Nasdaq 
SmallCap, trading, if any, in the Units, the Common Stock or the Redeemable 
Warrants would thereafter have to be conducted in the over-the-counter market 
in the so-called "pink sheets" or, if then available, the NASD's OTC 
Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor would find it more 
difficult to dispose of, and to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of 
such securities. 

   In addition, if the Common Stock is delisted from trading on the Nasdaq 
SmallCap and the trading price of the Common Stock is less than $5.00 per 
share, trading in the Common Stock would also be subject to the requirements 
of Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 
amended (the "Exchange Act"). Under such rule, broker/dealers who recommend 
such low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and 
accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, 
including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability 
determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent 
prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock 
Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any 
trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, according to 
recent regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
"Commission"), any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on 
Nasdaq SmallCap that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject 
to certain exceptions), including the delivery, prior to any penny stock 
transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and 
the risks associated therewith. Such requirements could severely limit the 
market liquidity of the Units, the Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants 
and the ability of purchasers in this Offering to sell their Securities in 
the secondary market. There can be no assurance that the Units, the Common 
Stock and the Redeemable Warrants will not be delisted or treated as a penny 
stock. 

                                 THE COMPANY 

   The Company was formed on January 12, 1994 under the laws of the State of 
Delaware. On October 31, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding 
common stock of National, a New York corporation, formed on February 6, 1992, 
which was owned by Roy Israel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and 
President, and Cynthia Sanders, the Company's Executive Vice President. 
National began operations in March, 1992.

(1) The Company intends to use this amount to repay notes (the "Private 
    Placement Notes") with interest held by the Selling Private Placement 
    Stockholders and certain executive officers and founders of the Company. 
    From July through October 1994, the Company received gross proceeds of 
    $402,000 from the private placement of eighty (80) units at a price of 
    $5,025 per unit, each of which consisted of a $5,000 8% promissory note 
    originally due June 30, 1996 and 1,787 shares of Common Stock. These 
    proceeds were used to open new offices, repay a loan from National and 
    for working capital. The repayment of the Notes has been extended until 
    the earlier of the completion of this Offering or December 31, 1996. 

(2) The Company intends to use this amount to open approximately four to six 
    new offices over the next two years, which may include the acquisition of 
    other ADR companies. This amount will be used to equip these new offices 
    and enable the Company to operate them for approximately one year. The 
    Company does not currently have any agreements, commitments or 
    arrangements with respect to any proposed acquisitions, and no assurance 
    can be given that any acquisition opportunities will be identified or 
    consummated in the future. 

(3) The Company intends to use this amount to increase its marketing efforts 
    and to create an increased national presence through advertising in a 
    variety of media. 

(4) The Company intends to use this amount to upgrade its existing computer 
    system. 

(5) The Company intends to use $78,000 to pay on behalf of the Selling 
    Stockholders the underwriting discounts and non-accountable expense 
    related to the sale of the Selling Stockholders Units (assuming an 
    initial public offering price of $4.00 per Unit) and $48,000 as a 
    consulting fee to the Underwriter. See "Underwriting." 

   The above represents the Company's best estimate based upon its present 
plans and certain assumptions regarding general economic conditions and the 
Company's future revenues and expenditures. The Company, therefore, reserves 
the right to reallocate the net proceeds of this Offering among the various 
categories set forth above as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or 
advisable. 

   Any additional net proceeds realized from the exercise of the 
Over-allotment Option or the Redeemable Warrants underlying the Units will be 
added to the Company's working capital. 

   The Company believes that the estimated net proceeds to be received by the 
Company from this Offering, together with funds from operations, will be 
sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements for 

                                      13 
<PAGE>

a period of at least 12 months following the date of this Prospectus. 
Thereafter, if the Company has insufficient funds for its needs, there can be 
no assurance that additional funds can be obtained on acceptable terms, if at 
all. If necessary funds are not available, the Company's business would be 
materially and adversely affected. 

   Prior to expenditure, the net proceeds will be invested in short-term 
interest bearing securities or money market funds. 

   By the Selling Stockholders. The proceeds from the sale of the shares of 
Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders will not be received 
by the Company. The Company, however, will receive the proceeds from the 
exercise, if any, of the Redeemable Warrants included in the Selling 
Stockholders Units. The Selling Stockholders will pay all applicable stock 
transfer taxes and transfer fees. The Company has agreed to bear the cost of 
preparing the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is a part, the 
underwriting discounts and non-accountable expense allowance, and all filing 
fees and legal and accounting expenses in connection with the registration of 
the Selling Stockholders Units offered hereby under federal and state 
securities laws. 

   By the Selling Private Placement Stockholders. The Private Placement 
Shares are not being underwritten in this Offering and the Company will not 
receive any proceeds from their sale. The Company has agreed to bear the cost 
of preparing the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is a part and 
all filing fees and legal and accounting expenses in connection with the 
registration of the Selling Stockholders Units offered hereby under federal 
and state securities laws. 

             OFFER BY THE SELLING PRIVATE PLACEMENT STOCKHOLDERS 
                           AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 

   The registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, also 
includes an offering of 139,447 shares of Common Stock, owned by the Selling 
Private Placement Stockholders. The Private Placement Shares were sold by the 
Company in July through October 1994 in connection with the sale of notes by 
the Company in a private placement. The Private Placement Shares may be sold 
in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, 
directly by the Selling Private Placement Stockholders. The Company will not 
receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares. Expenses of this Offering, 
other than fees and expenses of counsel to the Selling Private Placement 
Stockholders and selling commissions, will be paid by the Company. Sales of 
such shares of Common Stock or the potential of such sales may have an 
adverse effect on the market price of the Securities offered hereby. See 
"Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale." 

   Holders of all of the Private Placement Shares being registered in this 
Offering have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, issue, offer to sell, 
sell, grant an option for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate 
or otherwise encumber or dispose of any securities issued by the Company, 
including Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or 
evidencing any right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of Common Stock 
for a period of eighteen months from the effective date of the registration 
statement, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. 

                               DIVIDEND POLICY 

   The Company has never paid any cash dividends, except with respect to 
certain distributions relating to when National was an S-corporation, and 
currently anticipates that it will continue to retain all available funds for 
use in its business. See "Certain Transactions" and "Management's Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company's 
future dividend policy will depend upon the Company's earnings, capital 
requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors.

                                   DILUTION 


   The Company had a net tangible book value of $(215,651) or $(.12) per 
share, as of June 30, 1996, based upon 1,874,978 shares of Common Stock 
outstanding (as adjusted for 61,903 shares that vested in July 1996). Net 
tangible book value per share is equal to the Company's total tangible assets 
less its total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of its 
Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of the 1,250,000 
Units offered hereby (assuming no value is attributed to the Redeemable 
Warrants included in the Units) and the application of the net proceeds 
therefrom (after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and other 
expenses of the offering), the net tangible book value of the Common Stock as 
of June 30, 1996 would have been $3,730,349 or $1.19 per share. This would 
represent an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.31 per share 
to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.81 per share or 70% 
to new investors. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book 
value per share after this Offering from the amount paid by new investors per 
share of Common Stock. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per 
share basis:

</TABLE>


   If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the increase in pro 
forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 1996 attributable to 
new investors would be $1.46, the pro forma net tangible book value per share 
of Common Stock after the Offering would be $1.34 and the dilution per share 
to new investors would be $2.66 or 67%. 

   The following table summarizes the number of shares of Common Stock 
purchased, the percentage of total consideration paid, and the average price 
per share paid by the existing stockholders and new investors in this 
Offering. The calculation below is based on an initial public offering price 
of $4.00 per Unit (before deducting the underwriting discounts and 
commissions and other estimated expenses of the offering payable by the 
Company).

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

GENERAL 

   The Company provides ADR services to insurance companies, law firms, large 
self-insured corporations and municipalities. The Company's services are 
marketed by an internal sales force within each office. The Company has 
offices in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and 
Tennessee, through which it has the ability to provide ADR services on a 
nationwide basis with a roster of over 600 qualified hearing officers. 

   The Company derives its revenues from fees charged to the parties in a 
proceeding. The fees are charged on an hourly basis for hearings, conferences 
and deliberations by hearing officers, and set amounts for administrative 
services. The Company recognizes revenue when the arbitration or mediation 
occurs. Fees received prior to the arbitration or mediation are reflected as 
deferred income. Fees billed for cases not yet heard and not yet collected 
for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $292,795 and $328,400, 
respectively. 

   In October 1994, the Company issued a total of 657,112 shares of Common 
Stock to Mr. Israel and Ms. Sanders in exchange for all of the outstanding 
stock of National. Prior to October, 1994, National was an S-corporation and, 
effective October 1994, the S-corporation status was terminated, when 
National was acquired by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 
Accordingly, a pro forma tax provision for federal and state income taxes, as 
if the Company was a C-corporation, has been presented in the accompanying 
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 1995. 

FUTURE TRENDS 

   Management believes that the ADR industry is, and will be, undergoing a 
consolidation of ADR service providers so as to better serve clients 
requiring national and regional ADR programs. The Company seeks to use a 
portion of the proceeds of this Offering to exploit this trend. In addition, 
ADR clients are beginning to seek volume discounts on the charges applied by 
the Company for services rendered. The Company believes that this trend may 
have a positive impact on the Company overall because the discounts are 
usually applied only when an ADR client makes a commitment to refer a minimum 
number of cases to the Company. 

   As a result of the proposed expansion through the opening of new offices, 
the Company may incur net losses in the short-term future as a result of the 
investment of resources over the time it takes for these new offices to 
mature and become profitable, if ever. Significant start-up costs will be 
incurred in connection with opening and operating these new offices, 
including expenses such as leases, office equipment, furnishings, and 
salaries for management, sales and clerical personnel. In these new areas, 
organizations similar to and in competition with the Company may have been 
doing business for some time, and therefore will have competitive advantages 
over the Company. These advantages include contacts with potential consumers 
of the Company's services, such as law firms and insurance companies, and 
with qualified retired judges and lawyers who act as hearing officers. In 
addition, the account representatives who establish the new offices are very 
important to the success of such offices. While management of the Company 
believes that in the future, the Company may be competitive in some or all of 
the planned new markets, there is no assurance that any of the Company's new 
offices will ever be profitable. For example, the Company opened up an office 
in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area in August, 1994 and closed it in April, 
1995 due to its disappointing performance.

</TABLE>

   Revenues.  Total revenues increased from $2,235,030 during the year ended 
June 30, 1995 to $3,147,886 during the year ended June 30, 1996, an increase 
of $912,856 or 41%, due to expansion into new markets, increased business 
with existing clients and the overall increased consumer acceptance of ADR 
services. 

   Cost of Services.  Cost of services increased from $458,661 during the 
year ended June 30, 1995 to $727,613 during the year ended June 30, 1996, an 
increase of $268,952 or 59%. This increase was attributable to the Company's 
increased business from expansion into new offices which resulted in 
additional hearing officers' fees. 

   Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing increased from $976,230 during 
the year ended June 30, 1995 to $1,472,152 during the year ended June 30, 
1996, an increase of $495,922 or 51%. Much of this increase was related to 
the Company's expansion into new offices, which included an increase in sales 
commissions and salaries of new hires. 

   General and Administrative.  General and administrative costs increased 
from $584,920 during the year ended June 30, 1995, to $741,892 during the 
year ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $156,972 or 27%. This increase was 
related to increased overhead costs associated with the Company's opening of 
new offices. 

   Other Expenses, net. Other expenses, net increased from $19,817 during the 
year ended June 30, 1995 to $67,105 during the year ended June 30, 1996, an 
increase of $47,288 or 239%. This increase was primarily due to a write-off 
of previously deferred offering costs of $61,127 associated with a public 
offering that was abandoned in October 1995 and additional interest expense 
of $32,000 recorded on the Private Placement Financing. 

   Provision for Income Taxes. The Company did not have taxable income for 
the year ended June 30, 1995 and the utilization of net operating loss 
carryforwards eliminated the Company's liability for federal taxes during the 
year ended June 30, 1996. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had net operating 
loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $223,683. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 


   The Company has experienced net income and positive cash flow from 
operations each year since January, 1993. For the years ended June 30, 1995 
and 1996, the Company has had net income of $185,023 and $135,599, 
respectively, and was provided with cash from operations of $208,329 and 
$263,390, respectively. As of June 30, 1995 and 1996, the Company had cash 
and cash equivalents of $56,070 and $31,474, respectively. The Company had 
working capital deficit of ($377,290) and ($464,426) as of June 30, 1995 and 
1996, respectively. The Company's credit and collection procedures have been 
enhanced to improve the collections of its receivables. Establishment of a 
collection team coupled with more stringent credit policies, organized 
collection calls and letters, and weekly receivable analyses have all 
contributed to a more efficient collections process. 


                                      19 
<PAGE>

   The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the cash 
provided by its operating activities and the private placement financing 
described below. Operating cash flow in fiscal 1995 consisted of net income 
plus increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by 
increases in accounts receivable. Operating cash flow in fiscal 1996 
consisted of net income plus increases in accounts payable and accrued 
liabilities, offset by increases in accounts receivable. 

   The Company's investing activities used cash of $61,583 and $127,949 in 
the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, primarily to purchase 
equipment and furniture of $56,830 and $124,535, respectively. The Company 
currently anticipates making approximately $100,000 of capital equipment 
purchases during fiscal 1997, consisting primarily of computer equipment and 
software upgrades for all offices. 

   During the year ended June 30, 1995, $123,507 was used by financing 
activities, primarily from the proceeds of notes payable (described below), 
amounting to $400,000, offset by distributions made to certain stockholders 
(Mr. Israel and Ms. Sanders) of $459,744 to partially fund their tax 
liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 1996, $160,037 was used in 
financing activities due to distributions made to Mr. Israel and Ms. Sanders 
and the costs associated with the Offering. As of June 30, 1996, 
distributions still owed to these stockholders amount to $8,942. Management 
has paid these distributions as of August 31, 1996. 

   In June 1994, the Company, in a private placement, issued promissory notes 
in the aggregate amount of $400,000 in connection with a private placement 
financing ("Private Placement Financing"). The notes bear interest at the 
rate of 8% per annum, and were originally due June 30, 1996. These notes have 
been extended until the earlier of December 31, 1996 or the closing of this 
offering. As part of the Private Placement Financing, the Company also issued 
a total of 143,023 shares of its restricted Common Stock for an aggregate 
amount of $2,000. The repayment of these notes is intended to be provided by 
a portion of the net proceeds of this Offering. In the event that the 
Offering is not completed prior to December 31, 1996, the Company will seek a 
further extension of the payment terms of the notes, attempt to refinance or 
repay the notes from operating cash flow and funds made available by 
management and its affiliates. See "Use of Proceeds." 

   In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement providing for a line 
of credit with Citibank, N.A., expiring March 13, 1997, in the amount of 
$25,000. The line of credit bears interest at the rate of 16%. No amounts are 
outstanding under this line of credit. The Company does not anticipate 
seeking any additional loan financing at this time. 

   The Company believes that the net proceeds of this offering, together with 
existing cash balances and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient 
to meet the Company's liquidity needs for at least the 12 months following 
the date of this Prospectus. 

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD 

   In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 
123"). SFAS No. 123 established a fair value based method of accounting for 
stock-based compensation arrangements with employees, rather then the 
intrinsic value based method that is contained in Accounting Principles Board 
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"). 
SFAS No. 123 does not require an entity to adopt the new fair value based 
method for purposes of preparing its basic financial statements. While the 
SFAS No. 123 fair value based method is considered by the FASB to be 
preferable to the APB No. 25 method, entities are allowed to continue to use 
the APB No. 25 method for preparing their basic financial statements. 
Entities not adopting the fair value based method under SFAS No. 123 are 
required to present pro forma net income and earnings per share information, 
in the notes to the financial statements, as if the fair value based method 
had been adopted. 

   The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions 
entered into during fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995, but may 
also be adopted upon the issuance of SFAS No. 123. The Company currently does 
not intend to adopt the provisions of this statement early.

                                   BUSINESS 

GENERAL 

   The Company provides ADR services principally to insurance companies, law 
firms, large self-insured corporations and municipalities. An ADR proceeding 
is designed to replace the public court system as a forum for resolving civil 
disputes. The Company offers its clients personalized attention and access to 
qualified hearing officers (generally retired judges) to either mediate or 
arbitrate their disputes. The cases currently handled by the Company are 
primarily disputes involving claims for injury to persons or property 
allegedly arising out of acts of negligence and are usually covered primarily 
by insurance. The Company believes it is one of the leading providers of ADR 
services in New York State based upon the number of cases processed since 
1993. The Company has offices currently located in New York, Massachusetts, 
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee, through which it has the ability 
to provide ADR services on a nationwide basis with a roster of over 600 
qualified hearing officers. 

   The Company believes that the ADR business is a growing service industry 
based upon the continuing inability of the public court system to manage 
effectively its docket of civil cases. An ADR proceeding is intended to 
streamline the traditional cumbersome public litigation process. As compared 
to the public court system, an ADR proceeding generally offers litigants: a 
faster resolution, confidentiality, reduced expense, flexibility in 
procedures and solutions, and control over the process. The ADR proceeding 
also has the potential to preserve business relations among the parties 
because of its less adversarial nature and potential for a prompt resolution. 

   The Company provides services to more than 50 major insurance companies, 
law firms, large self-insured corporations and municipalities, including 
Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, Royal Insurance Group, The Travelers 
Insurance Company, American International Group, Conrail and the City of 
Philadelphia. To date, the Company has focused the majority of its marketing 
efforts on developing relationships, and expanding existing relationships, 
with insurance companies which the Company believes are some of the largest 
consumers of ADR services. The Company derives its revenues from fees charged 
to the parties in an ADR proceeding, which are charged on an hourly basis for 
hearings, conferences and deliberations by hearing officers, and set amounts 
for administrative services. 

   As compared to the majority of its competitors, the management of the 
Company believes it has certain advantages which enable it to better serve 
its clients. These advantages include (1) qualified hearing officers, who are 
generally former judges, (2) software that provides detailed case management 
reporting ability which enables clients to review the history of cases 
submitted and the status of pending matters, (3) case reporting that can be 
customized to meet a client's needs, (4) account executives dedicated to 
specified clients, (5) the ability to monitor and control the scheduling of 
matters, and (6) videoconferencing capability which allows clients to 
participate or observe a proceeding without leaving their office. In 
addition, during 1997 the Company expects to offer clients "on-line" case 
submission and reporting which will further improve the Company's ability to 
serve the needs of its clients. 

   The Company's objective is to become one of the leading providers of ADR 
services on a national basis. The Company intends to achieve this goal 
through the opening of new offices in states where it does not presently have 
an office, which will enable the Company to serve more fully its clients and 
attract new clients. This proposed expansion may include the acquisition of 
existing ADR companies. Presently, the Company does not have any agreements 
to acquire any such companies. The Company intends to open approximately four 
to six new offices in the United States over the next two years. It is 
currently anticipated that the Company will open new offices in: Illinois, 
Arizona, Washington D.C., Wisconsin, Florida and Connecticut. This should 
enable the Company to more fully serve its current clients and attract new 
clients. 

   The Company believes that the domestic ADR industry is, other than a few 
national entities, generally fragmented into small ADR service providers. The 
Company further believes that the trend in the ADR industry is towards 
consolidation of providers who are capable of offering national and regional 
ADR programs. The Company's planned expansion will enable it to exploit this 
trend. In addition, the Company intends to increase its marketing of its ADR 
services to litigants in other types of disputes, including complex 
commercial issues, construction, employment and worker's compensation cases. 

                                      21

SERVICES OFFERED 

   Arbitration. The Company's arbitration procedure follows a format which is 
essentially similar to a non-jury trial in the public court system. This 
procedure is designed to grant the parties a forum in which to present their 
cases, while at the same time sparing the litigants the time delays and some 
of the cumbersome procedures commonly associated with public court trials. 
The Company's hearings are generally governed by its rules of procedure. The 
parties, however, may depart from these rules and proceed in the fashion they 
deem desirable for the resolution of the case. The parties select a panel 
member from the Company's list of hearing officers. The hearings are 
non-public, thereby providing a level of confidentiality not readily 
available in the public court system. Subject to the parties' agreement, the 
proceedings may include discovery, examination of non-party witnesses, the 
filing of post-hearing briefs and other matters that may arise in the conduct 
of non-jury trials. 

   The arbitrations are usually one of the following: (i) a regular 
arbitration, in which the hearing officer has authority to issue a ruling 
and/or award a remedy without limitations; (ii) a "high/low" arbitration, 
where the parties may choose to set the parameters of the award by 
pre-selecting the high and low dollar limits that can be awarded by the 
hearing officer; and (iii) the so-called "baseball" arbitration, which 
typically involves the submission by each party of their last best figure and 
the reason why it should be accepted; the hearing officer's binding 
recommendation is restricted to either one figure or the other. These types 
of arbitration are not exclusive, and the hearing officers may fashion 
remedies in accordance with whatever parameters are agreed to by the parties. 

   Generally arbitration decisions are binding in nature and, unless 
otherwise stipulated by the parties, are appealable in only limited 
circumstances in the public court system. The Company does not currently 
offer any type of appeal procedure. The Company's arbitration decisions are 
generally enforceable in the public court system by following prescribed 
filing procedures in the applicable local jurisdiction. 

   Mediation (Settlement Conferencing). The mediation method used by the 
Company is settlement conferencing, in essence a non-binding process. The 
principal advantage of settlement conferencing is that it provides an 
opportunity for parties to reach an early, amicable resolution without undue 
expense and time-consuming litigation. The voluntary process of settlement 
conference mediation can be an effective tool for a wide variety of disputes, 
including tort claims and commercial conflicts. 

   Settlement conferences are attended by each party to the dispute and/or a 
representative of each party and a panel member selected by the parties from 
a list available in the applicable region. Each party may choose to submit a 
settlement conference memorandum setting forth a brief summary of facts, 
indicating, for example, why each party has or does not have liability and, 
if applicable, a statement of the party's damage. At the settlement 
conference, each party is given an opportunity to describe the facts of the 
case and explain its position. Thereafter, the hearing officer meets 
privately with each side on an alternating basis to evaluate their respective 
cases, and receives proposed concessions that each party might make, and 
potential settlement figures that each party may offer, with a view toward 
guiding the parties to the settlement of their dispute. Discussion concerning 
settlement figures and possible concessions and potential settlement figures 
are typically not discussed between a party and the hearing officer without 
the other party's express consent to disclosing its position. In many 
instances, the settlement conference procedure results in the resolution of 
all issues. 

   Other ADR Services. In addition to mediations and arbitrations, the 
Company offers, among other services, advisory opinions and specialized 
dispute resolution programs depending on the parties' particular needs. The 
Company also offers Case Resolution Days which are events usually scheduled 
at an insurance company client's office in which the Company arranges for 
parties to hold high volume direct settlement meetings without the 
participation of a hearing officer. In the event that the individual meetings 
do not resolve the dispute, the Company provides a hearing officer to mediate 
the dispute if the parties wish to pursue settlement. 

   On-Line Case Management Software Service. It is currently expected that in 
1997 the Company will be able to offer its clients the ability to be 
"on-line" with the Company to submit cases electronically and to review the 
status of their cases from their offices quickly and efficiently. This 
service will also allow them to integrate their arbitration calendar into 
their offices' case-management system. As of September 1, 1996, the Company 
maintains an (i) e-mail address, (ii) ISDN (integrated services digital 
network) communication line, and (iii) 2 analog communication lines. By 
providing customized software to clients, beginning in mid-1997 clients will 
be 

                                      22 
<PAGE>

able to prepare case submission files and send them, through a modem, either 
individually or in batches to the Company's system. The submissions will be 
entered on a daily basis by the Company. Clients will also be able to utilize 
an in-house "Bulletin Board" type system to access updates in software, 
rosters and schedules of hearing officers, status of hearings and promotional 
materials. Beginning in mid-1997, clients will be able to use the Company's 
e-mail address to submit cases. The Company will automatically check its 
e-mail site to download submitted cases. In addition, the Company is 
designing an Internet Website which will enable clients through the Internet 
to review rosters and schedules of hearing officers and promotional material, 
and to submit cases directly. It is expected that this Internet service will 
be available in late 1997. 

   Video Conferencing. The Company has the ability to offer video 
conferencing capabilities to its clients which allow them to participate and 
observe hearings without leaving their offices and thereby reducing certain 
costs to the client associated with the ADR process. This capability allows 
the Company to provide services to a wider range of clients on a geographical 
basis. In addition, the video conferencing equipment, which can currently be 
purchased or leased directly from the Company, has applications beyond the 
ADR area for clients. 

MARKETING AND SALES 

   As of June 30, 1996, the Company employed 18 account representatives to 
market its ADR services. Account representatives solicit prospective clients 
through telemarketing efforts and in-person meetings. They also provide 
presentations, educational seminars relating to ADR services and periodic 
monitoring of a client's ADR activity. Account representatives are typically 
compensated based upon a draw against commissions earned which are based on 
total collected revenue from a representative's clients. 

   In the New York office, account executives are directly managed by the 
supervisors of the various sales teams. The supervisors report to the 
Executive Vice President. In the regional offices, account executives are 
supervised directly by the regional manager for the office who reports to the 
Director of Regional Officers. The Director of Regional Offices reports to 
the Executive Vice President. Mr. Israel is responsible for the overall 
performance of the sales staff. Generally, account executives in the New York 
office are interviewed by the Executive Vice President and the President/CEO. 
With regard to the hiring of account executives in other offices, they are 
usually interviewed by each office's regional manager, then the Director of 
Regional Offices meets with them, and finally, either the Executive Vice 
President or President/CEO interviews the candidate. 

   Account executives are trained by a supervisor, the Director of Regional 
Offices or the office's regional manager over approximately a two week 
period. This training includes the development of marketing skills and the 
introduction to customers of the Company. After this initial period, the new 
account executive's performance is closely monitored. 

   The majority of clients of the Company are insurance carriers and law 
firms. The Company, when appropriate, seeks membership contracts with its 
clients. For an annual fee, an exclusivity arrangement or a commitment to 
refer a minimum volume of cases, members will receive a discount on each case 
referred to the Company. As of September 1, 1996, the Company had 39 written 
membership contracts. Further, the Company is devoting its efforts to 
obtaining volume commitments from existing and new clients. 

   The Company has also been engaged in marketing efforts to increase 
prospective ADR clients' awareness, acceptance and use of the Company's 
services. The Company advertises in regional and national publications of 
interest to prospective clients, participates in seminars and makes 
presentations before bar associations and insurance and business groups. 

EXPANSION PLANS 

   New Offices. The Company intends to continue to expand its client base and 
increase case loads in its current markets and to expand into new markets. 
Over the next two years, management of the Company anticipates that its 
expansion will include the opening of approximately four to six new offices. 
These new offices will be in states where the Company does not presently have 
an office. This expansion may consist of new offices in the following 
locations: Illinois, Arizona, Washington D.C., Wisconsin, Florida and 
Connecticut. The expansion may also include the acquisition of other ADR 
companies. Currently, the Company has not entered into any agreements to 
acquire such companies. There can be no assurance that the Company's new 
offices, if any, will be successful. 

                                      23

   Expansion Beyond Insurance-Related Disputes. While the Company currently 
provides ADR services beyond insurance-related disputes, it intends to 
increase its marketing efforts to capture a larger share of the market in 
such other areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, complex 
commercial disputes, construction, employment and worker's compensation 
cases. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these 
marketing efforts or if successful, that such new areas will be profitable. 

COMPETITION 

   The ADR business is highly competitive, both on a national and regional 
level. Management believes that barriers to entry in the ADR business are 
relatively low, and new competitors can begin doing business relatively 
quickly. The basis of this belief is that the provision of ADR services only 
requires the consent of all parties to a dispute to submit their dispute to 
be resolved through a proposed ADR provider. There are two types of 
competitors, not-for-profit and for-profit entities. The Company believes the 
largest not-for profit competitor is AAA which has significant market share 
in complex commercial cases. The insurance industry has also continued its 
support for Arbitration Forums, a not-for-profit organization created to 
service primarily the insurance subrogation market. The Company believes that 
JAMS is the largest for-profit ADR provider in the country. Several public 
court systems, including the federal and certain state courts in New York, 
the Company's major market, have recently instituted court coordinated ADR 
programs. To the extent that the public courts reduce case backlogs and 
provide effective dispute resolution mechanisms, the Company's business 
opportunities in such markets may be significantly reduced. The Company 
believes that the domestic ADR industry is, other than a few national 
entities, generally fragmented into small ADR service providers. The Company 
also believes that the trend in the ADR industry is towards consolidation of 
providers who are capable of offering quality national and regional ADR 
programs. The Company's planned expansion intends to exploit this trend. In 
addition, the Company intends to increase its marketing of its ADR services 
to litigants in other types of disputes, including complex commercial issues, 
construction, employment and worker's compensation cases. 

   In New York State, the Company's competitors include, among others, 
Settlement Systems, Inc., Expedite NYC, JAMS, Resolute, Inc. and Island 
Arbitration and Mediation. 

   Increased competition could decrease the fees the Company is able to 
charge for its services, and limit the Company's ability to obtain 
experienced hearing officers, and thus could have a materially adverse effect 
on the Company's ability to be profitable in the future. In addition, the 
Company competes with other ADR providers to retain the services of qualified 
hearing officers. Certain competitors may have greater financial, and other, 
capabilities than the Company. As compared to the majority of its 
competitors, the Company believes that it competes based primarily upon 
reputation, price, and the ability to manage scheduling of hearings 
effectively. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company can 
successfully compete in the present or future marketplace for ADR services. 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION 

   ADR services that are offered by private companies, such as the Company, 
are not subject to any form of local, state or federal regulation. ADR 
services that are offered by the public courts are subject to the local rules 
set forth by each jurisdiction and the dictates of the individual judge who 
controls the dispute. 

EMPLOYEES/HEARING OFFICERS 

   As of September 1, 1996, the Company employed 33 persons including 1 
part-time employee; of these, 4 were in executive positions, 18 were engaged 
in sales and marketing activities, and 11 were engaged in administrative and 
clerical activities. Management of the Company believes that its relationship 
with its employees is satisfactory. 

   As of June 30, 1996, the Company maintained relationships with over 600 
hearing officers and has exclusive agreements with 25 of them. These 25 
hearing officers accounted for approximately 51% of the number of cases 
handled by the Company for the year ended June 30, 1996. The balance of 
non-exclusive hearing officers are independent contractors who make their 
services available to the Company on a case-by-case basis. With the exception 
of the exclusive hearing officers, the remainder of the Company's roster of 
hearing officers can pro- 

                                      24 
<PAGE>

vide their services to competing ADR providers. Compensation to the hearing 
officers is based on the number of proceedings conducted and the length of 
time of such proceedings. All active hearing officers are requested to 
execute confidentiality agreements regarding the Company and its clients. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

   There is no material litigation currently pending against the Company. 

PROPERTIES 

   The Company leases 4,800 square feet of space at 1010 Northern Boulevard, 
Great Neck, New York which is used as its corporate headquarters and to 
provide ADR services in the metropolitan New York area. The lease expires 
October, 2000. The Company believes this space is adequate for its reasonably 
anticipated future needs. 

   The Company also leases: (i) 2,168 square feet of space, which lease 
expires February, 2000, for its Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office; (ii) 174 
square feet of space, which lease expires December, 1996, for its Easton, 
Massachusetts office; (iii) 1,630 square feet of space, which lease expires 
January, 1998, for its Greenwood, South Carolina office; and (iv) 601 square 
feet of space, which lease expires March, 1997, for its Hendersonville, 
Tennessee office. The Company believes this space is adequate for its 
reasonably anticipated future needs. 

   The annual aggregate base rental payment for all of the Company's offices 
was $136,515 for the year ended June 30, 1996. 

   The Company currently maintains 5 leased facilities all of which are 
located in office buildings. Previously, the Company had opened an office in 
the Minneapolis, Minnesota area in August 1994 which was closed in April 1995 
due to disappointing performance. As of September 1, 1996, the Company has 
not opened any other offices and maintains the following offices:

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 

   The Company, pursuant to its By-laws, has agreed to indemnify its officers 
and directors to the fullest extent allowed by law. Insofar as 
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be 
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company 
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been 
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against 
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, 
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such 
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or 
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 

                                      27 
<PAGE>

Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been 
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate 
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against 
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the 
final adjudication of such issue. 

STOCK OPTION PLAN 

   A total of 750,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under 
the Stock Option Plan, of which options to purchase 25,000 shares have been 
conditionally granted to one employee and two hearing officers. The plan 
provides for the award of options, which may either be incentive stock 
options ("ISOs") within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or non-qualified options ("NQOs") which 
are not subject to special tax treatment under the Code. The Plan is 
administered by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board (the 
"Administrator"). Officers, directors, and employees of, and consultants to, 
the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation selected by the 
Administrator are eligible to receive options under the plan. Subject to 
certain restrictions, the Administrator is authorized to designate the number 
of shares to be covered by each award, the terms of the award, the dates on 
which and the rates at which options or other awards may be exercised, the 
method of payment and other terms. 

   The exercise price for ISOs cannot be less than the fair market value of 
the stock subject to the option on the grant date (110% of such fair market 
value in the case of ISOs granted to a stockholder who owns more than 10% of 
the Company's Common Stock). The exercise price of a NQO shall be fixed by 
the Administrator at whatever price the Administrator may determine in good 
faith. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, options generally have 
a 10-year term (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to a participant 
owning more than 10% of the total voting power of the Company's capital 
stock). Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, options terminate upon 
the termination of a participant's employment, except that the participant 
may exercise an option to the extent it was exercisable on the date of 
termination for a period of time after termination. 

   Generally, awards must be exercised by cash payment to the Company of the 
exercise price. However, the Administrator may allow a participant to pay all 
or a portion of the exercise price by means of a promissory note, stock or 
other lawful consideration. The Plan also allows the Administrator to provide 
for withholding and employment taxes payable by a participant to the Company 
upon exercise of the award. Additionally, the Company may make cash grants or 
loans to participants relating to the participant's withholding and 
employment tax obligations and the income tax liability incurred by a 
participant upon exercise of an award. 

   In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by 
reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, 
reorganization, spin-off, split-up, issuance of warrants or rights or 
debentures, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, cash 
dividend, property dividend or similar change in the corporate structure, the 
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying any outstanding options 
may be equitably adjusted by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

   The Administrator may, at any time, modify, amend or terminate the plan as 
is necessary to maintain compliance with applicable statutes, rules or 
regulations; provided, however, that the Administrator may condition the 
effectiveness of any such amendment on the receipt of stockholder approval as 
may be required by applicable statute, rule or regulation. In addition, this 
Plan may be terminated by the Board of Directors as it shall determine in its 
sole discretion, in the absence of stockholder approval; provided, however, 
that any such termination will not adversely alter or impair any option 
awarded under the Plan prior to such termination without the consent of the 
holder thereof. 

   The Company has agreed that for a 24 month period commencing on the date 
of this Prospectus that it will not, without the consent of the Underwriter, 
adopt or propose to adopt any plan or arrangement permitting the grant, issue 
or sale of any shares of its securities or issue, sell or offer for sale any 
of its securities, or grant any options for its securities, except for (i) an 
aggregate of 250,000 options, at an exercise price equal to or greater than 
the fair market value on the date of grant, which may be granted to 
management personnel on or after June 30, 1997, if the Company has at least 
$2,000,000 in the pre-tax earnings for the year ended June 30, 1997, (ii) an 
aggregate of 250,000 options, at an exercise price equal to or greater than 
the fair market value on the date of grant, which may be granted to 
management personnel on or after June 30, 1998, if the Company has at least 

                                      28 
<PAGE>

$5,600,000 in pre-tax earnings for the year ended June 30, 1998 as reported 
to the public in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998, 
(iii) options to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common 
Stock which shall (x) have an exercise price per share no less than the 
greater of (a) the initial public offering price of the Units set forth 
herein and (b) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant 
and (y) not be granted to any existing officers, directors, employees or 
consultants of the Company (other than certain non-affiliated individuals) or 
to any direct or indirect beneficial holder on the date hereof of more than 
5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. No option or other 
right to acquire Common Stock granted, issued or sold during this period 
shall permit (a) the payment with any form of consideration other than cash, 
(b) payment of less than the full purchase or exercise price for such shares 
of Common Stock or other securities of the Company on or before the date of 
issuance, or (c) the existence of stock appreciation rights, phantom options 
or similar arrangements. In addition, the exercise price of all options 
granted under the Plan will be at least 85% of the fair market value of the 
Common Stock on the date of grant.

   There are no material relationships between any of the Selling Private 
Placement Stockholders and the Company or any of its predecessors or 
affiliates, except that (i) Milton Israel is the father of Roy Israel, and 
(ii) Mr. Schindler and Dr. Stricker are partners in Osprey Partners. The 
Securities offered by the Selling Private Placement Stockholders are not 
being underwritten by the Underwriters. The Selling Private Placement 
Stockholders may sell the Private Placement Shares at any time on or after 
the date hereof, provided prior consent is given by the Underwriter during 18 
months commencing on the date of this Prospectus. In addition, the Selling 
Private Placement Stockholders have agreed with the Company that, during the 
period ending on the second anniversary of the date of this Prospectus, the 
Selling Private Placement Stockholders will not sell such securities other 
than through the Underwriter, and that the Selling Private Placement 
Stockholders shall compensate the Underwriter in accordance with its 
customary compensation practices. Subject to these restrictions, the Company 
anticipates that sales of the Private Placement Shares may be effected from 
time to time in transactions (which may include block transactions) in the 
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or a combination of such 
methods of sale, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices 
prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Private 
Placement Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the Private 
Placement Shares directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers that may 
act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in 
the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling Private 
Placement Stockholders 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 customary commissions). 

   The Selling Private Placement Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act 
in connection with the sale of the Private Placement Shares as principals may 
be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the 
Securities Act and any commission received by them and any profit on the 
resale of such securities as principals might be deemed to be underwriting 
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Private 
Placement Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or 
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of such 
securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under 
the Securities Act. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sales 
of the Private Placement Shares by the Selling Private Placement 
Stockholders. Sales of the Private Placement Shares by the Selling Private 
Placement Stockholders, or even the potential of such sales, would likely 
have an adverse effect on the market price of the Units, the Redeemable 
Warrants and Common Stock. 

   At the time a particular offer of Private Placement Shares is made, except 
as herein contemplated, by or on behalf of a Selling Private Placement 
Stockholder, to the extent required, a Prospectus will be distributed which 
will set forth the number of Private Placement Shares being offered and the 
terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, 
dealers or agents, if any, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for 
shares purchased from the Selling Private Placement Stockholder and any 
discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to 
dealers. 

   Under the Exchange Act, and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged 
in a distribution of the securities of the Company offered by this Prospectus 
may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to 
such securities of the Company during the applicable "cooling-off" period 
(two or nine days) prior to the commencement of such distribution. In 
addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Private Placement 
Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and 
the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Rules 
10b-6 and 10b-7, in connection with transactions in such securities, which 
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of such securities by 
the Selling Private Placement Stockholders. 

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 

   Since the Company's inception there have not been any material 
transactions between it and any of its officers and directors, except as set 
forth herein and no additional transactions are currently contemplated. 


   On October 31, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of 
National from Mr. Israel and Ms. Sanders in exchange for a total of 657,112 
shares of Common Stock. In addition, as of August 31, 1996, $690,763 and 
$51,388 were distributed by the Company to Mr. Israel and Ms. Sanders, 
respectively, as retained earnings of National as an S-corporation. There 
will be no further distributions. 


                                      32

   Pursuant to their contracts, four employees and one hearing officer were 
conditionally granted a total of 148,060 shares of Common Stock, of which 
Carla Israel received 61,903 shares which vested in July 1996, Daniel Jansen 
received 17,165 shares which do not vest until July 1999 and an employee 
received 7,152 shares which vested in June 1996. The remaining shares vest 
only if the person is still providing services to the Company at a date 
certain which differs for each person ranging from 1997 to 1999. 

   On July 15, 1996, the Company entered into a financial public relations 
consulting agreement with Dr. Eugene Stricker and Mark Schindler, each of 
whom are founders of the Company, current stockholders and former directors 
of the Company. The agreement has a four year term and provides for annual 
payments of $48,000 payable in equal monthly payments of $4,000. The 
agreements shall commence on the consummation of this Offering. 

   On-going and future transactions between the Company and its officers, 
directors, principal stockholders or other affiliates will be on terms no 
less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third 
parties on an arm's-length basis, and will be approved by a majority of the 
Company's independent and disinterested directors. 

                          DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES 

UNITS 

   Upon consummation of this Offering, the Company will have outstanding 
1,400,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, $.001 par 
value, and one Redeemable Warrant. The Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants 
may only be purchased as Units in the Offering, but are immediately 
detachable and separately tradeable. The Company and the Underwriter may 
jointly determine, based upon market conditions, to delist the Units upon the 
expiration of the 30 day period commencing on the date of this Prospectus. 

COMMON STOCK 

   The Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par 
value $.001 per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, 1,874,978 shares of 
Common Stock are outstanding and are held of record by fifty (50) persons. 
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive, subject to the prior rights 
of holders of outstanding stock having prior rights as to dividends, such 
dividends as are declared by the Board of Directors, to one vote for each 
share at all meetings of stockholders, and, subject to the prior rights of 
holders of outstanding stock having prior rights as to asset distributions, 
to the remaining assets of the Company upon liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up of the Company. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or 
other subscription or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking 
fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock 
now outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable and all shares of Common 
Stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be fully paid 
and nonassessable. 

PREFERRED STOCK 

   The Company is authorized to issued up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred 
Stock, par value $.001 per share, without further stockholder approval 
(except as may be required by applicable law or stock exchange regulations). 
The Board of Directors is authorized to determine, without any further action 
by the holders of the Common Stock, the dividend rights, dividend rate, 
conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation 
preferences and sinking fund terms of any series of Preferred Stock, as well 
as the number of shares constituting such series and the designation thereof. 
Should the Board of Directors elect to exercise its authority, the rights and 
privileges of holders of the Common Stock could be made subject to the rights 
and privileges of any such series of Preferred Stock. No shares of Preferred 
Stock are outstanding. 

   These provisions give the Board of Directors the power to approve the 
issuance of a series of Preferred Stock of the Company that could, depending 
on its terms, either impede or facilitate the completion of a merger, tender 
offer or other takeover attempt. For example, the issuance of new shares 
might impede a business transaction if the terms of those shares include 
series voting rights which would enable a holder to block business 
transactions or the issuance of new shares might facilitate a business 
transaction if those shares have general voting rights sufficient to cause an 
applicable percentage vote requirement to be satisfied.

DIVIDENDS 

   The payment by the Company of dividends, if any, in the future rests 
within the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend, among other 
things, upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and its 
financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The Company paid a 
cash dividend to certain executives, former shareholders of National, in 
connection with certain distributions relating to when National was an 
S-corporation. See "Certain Transactions" and "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company also 
declared a 25% stock dividend on February 1, 1995. In connection with the 
Offering, the Company effected a one for two reverse stock split on March 29, 
1996 and a stock dividend of .14436 per share. By reason of its present 
financial status and its contemplated financial requirements, the Company 
does not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends upon its Common Stock 
in the foreseeable future. 

REDEEMABLE WARRANTS 

   Each Redeemable Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase 
one share of Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to 
adjustment, commencing immediately. The Redeemable Warrants expire on 
November 13, 2001. The Redeemable Warrants will be subject to redemption, 
subject to the prior written consent of the Underwriter, at a price of $.05 
per Redeemable Warrant commencing November 13, 1997 on 30 days' written 
notice provided the average closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported 
by Nasdaq (or the last sale price if listed on a national securities 
exchange), equals or exceeds 150% of the warrant exercise price per share for 
any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on 
the fifth trading day prior to the date of the notice of redemption. The 
holder of a Redeemable Warrant will lose his right to purchase if such right 
is not exercised prior to redemption by the Company on the date for 
redemption specified in the Company's notice of redemption or any later date 
specified in a subsequent notice. Notice of redemption by the Company shall 
be given by first class mail to the holders of the Redeemable Warrants at 
their addresses set forth in the Company's records. 


   The exercise price of the Redeemable Warrants and the number and kind of 
shares of Common Stock or other securities and property to be obtained upon 
exercise of the Redeemable Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain 
circumstances including a stock split of, or stock dividend on, or a 
subdivision, combination or recapitalization of, the Common Stock. 
Additionally, an adjustment would be made upon the sale of all or 
substantially all of the assets of the Company so as to enable Redeemable 
Warrant holders to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other 
securities or property (including cash) receivable in such event by a holder 
of the number of shares of Common Stock that might otherwise have been 
purchased upon exercise of such Redeemable Warrant. No adjustment for 
previously paid cash dividends, if any, will be made upon exercise of the 
Redeemable Warrants. 

   The Redeemable Warrants do not confer upon the holder any voting or any 
other rights of a stockholder of the Company. Upon notice to the Redeemable 
Warrant holders, the Company has the right to reduce the exercise price or 
extend the expiration date of the Redeemable Warrants. 

   The Redeemable Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Redeemable 
Warrant certificate on or prior to the respective expiration date (or earlier 
redemption date) of such Redeemable Warrants at the office of Continental 
Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Redeemable Warrant Agent"), with the 
form of "Election to Purchase" on the reverse side of the Redeemable Warrant 
certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of 
the full exercise price (by certified check payable to the order of the 
Redeemable Warrant Agent) for the number of Redeemable Warrants being 
exercised. 

TRANSFER AGENT, WARRANT AGENT AND REGISTRAR 

   The Company's Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar is Continental 
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 2 Broadway, New York, NY 10004. 

                       SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE 

   Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Units, the 
Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants. No prediction can be made of the 
effect, if any, that future market sales of Common Stock or the 

                                      34 
<PAGE>

availability of such shares for sale will have on the prevailing market price 
of the Securities following this Offering. Nevertheless, sales of substantial 
amounts of such shares in the open market following this offering could 
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Units, Common Stock or 
Redeemable Warrants. 

   Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have 3,124,978 shares 
of Common Stock outstanding. All of the 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock sold 
in this offering will be freely tradeable without restriction or further 
registration under the Securities Act unless held by "affiliates" of the 
Company as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In 
addition, 139,447 shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Private 
Placement Stockholders are being registered on this Offering, but cannot be 
sold without the consent of the Underwriter as described below. The remaining 
1,585,531 shares may be deemed "restricted securities," and may not be sold 
except in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Rule 144, in 
essence, provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of 
two years may publicly sell in brokerage transactions at an amount equal to 
one percent of the Company's outstanding Common Stock every three months or, 
if greater, a percentage of the shares publicly traded during a designated 
period. Of such 1,585,531 shares, 1,516,476 shares will be eligible for sale 
immediately under Rule 144; 7,152 shares will be eligible for sale under Rule 
144 beginning in June, 1998; and 61,903 shares will be eligible for sale 
under Rule 144 beginning in July, 1998. 

   Each of the Company's officers and directors and holders of not less than 
95% of the shares of the Common Stock have agreed that for a period of 18 
months from the date of this Prospectus they will not sell any of the 
Company's securities without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. 
They have further agreed that any sales of the Company's securities owned by 
them will be executed through the Underwriter for a 24 month period from the 
date hereof. 

                                 UNDERWRITING 

   Joseph Stevens & Company, L.P. (the "Underwriter") has entered into an 
Underwriting Agreement with the Company and the Selling Stockholders pursuant 
to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, it has agreed to 
purchase from the Company and the Selling Stockholders, and the Company and 
the Selling Stockholders have agreed to sell to the Underwriter on a firm 
commitment basis all of the Units offered by the Company and the Selling 
Stockholders, hereby. 


   The Underwriter has advised the Company that the Underwriter initially 
proposes to offer the Units to the public at the public offering price set 
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and that the Underwriter may allow 
to certain dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities 
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") concessions not in excess of $.15 per Unit, of 
which amount a sum not in excess of $.05 per Unit may in turn be reallowed by 
such dealers to other dealers. After the commencement of this Offering, the 
public offering price, the concessions and the reallowances may be changed. 
The Underwriter has informed the Company that it does not expect sales to 
discretionary accounts by the Underwriter to exceed five percent of the 
securities offered by the Company hereby. 


   The Company has granted to the Underwriter an option, exercisable within 
45 days of the date of this Prospectus to purchase from the Company at the 
offering price less underwriting discounts and the non-accountable expense 
allowance, up to an aggregate of 210,000 additional Units for the sole 
purpose of covering over- allotments, if any. To the extent such option is 
exercised in whole or in part, the Underwriter will have a firm commitment, 
subject to certain conditions, to purchase such number of additional Units. 


   The Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriter a non-accountable expense 
allowance equal to three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds derived from the 
sale of the Units underwritten, $25,000 of which has been paid to date. The 
Company has further agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain 
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and to contribute 
to payments that the Underwriter may be required to make. 


   Upon the exercise of any Redeemable Warrants more than one year after the 
date of this Prospectus, which exercise was solicited by the Underwriter, and 
to the extent not inconsistent with the guidelines of the NASD and the Rules 
and Regulations of the Commission, the Company has agreed to pay the 
Underwriter a commission which shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the 
aggregate exercise price of such Redeemable Warrants in connection with bona 
fide services provided by the Underwriter relating to any warrant 
solicitation. In addition, the individual must designate the firm entitled to 
payment of such warrant solicitation fee. No compensation, 

                                      35 
<PAGE>

however, will be paid to the Underwriter in connection with the exercise of 
the Redeemable Warrants if (a) the market price of the Common Stock is lower 
than the exercise price, (b) the Redeemable Warrants were held in a 
discretionary account, or (c) the Redeemable Warrants are exercised in an 
unsolicited transaction. Unless granted an exemption by the Commission from 
its Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange Act, the Underwriter will be prohibited 
from engaging in any market-making activities with regard to the Company's 
securities for the period from nine business days (or other such applicable 
periods as Rule 10b-6 may provide) prior to any solicitation of the exercise 
of the Redeemable Warrants until the later of the termination of such 
solicitation activity or the termination (by waiver or otherwise) of any 
right the Underwriter may have to receive a fee. As a result, the Underwriter 
may be unable to continue to provide a market for the Company's Securities 
during certain periods while the Redeemable Warrants are exercisable. If the 
Underwriter has engaged in any of the activities prohibited by Rule 10b-6 
during the periods described above, the Underwriter undertakes to waive 
unconditionally its right to receive a commission on the exercise of such 
Redeemable Warrants. 


   Each director and officer of the Company, as well as holders of not less 
than 95% of the Common Stock, have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, 
offer, sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any 
shares of Common Stock or convertible securities, or otherwise dispose of any 
interest therein, for a period of 18 months from the date of this Prospectus 
without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. An appropriate legend 
shall be marked on the face of certificates representing all such securities. 

   In connection with this Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the 
Underwriter, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase from the Company 
140,000 Units (the "Underwriter's Warrants"). The Underwriter's Warrants are 
initially exercisable at $5.80. The shares of Common Stock and Redeemable 
Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants are identical 
to those offered to the public. The Underwriter's Warrants contain provisions 
providing for adjustment of the number of warrants and exercise price under 
certain circumstances. The Underwriter's Warrants grant to the holders 
thereof certain rights of registration of the securities issuable upon 
exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants. 


   The Company has also agreed to retain the Underwriter as the Company's 
financial consultant for a period of 24 months from the date hereof and to 
pay the Underwriter $2,000 per month, all payable in advance on the closing 
date as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. 

   The Company has agreed that, for a period of five years from the date of 
the Prospectus, the Underwriter shall have the right to nominate one member 
of the Company's Board of Directors and the Company shall use its best 
efforts to have such nominee appointed or elected to the Company's Board of 
Directors. 

   Prior to this Offering there has been no public market for the Units, the 
Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants. Accordingly, the initial public 
offering price of the Units and the terms of the Redeemable Warrants were 
determined in negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter. Other 
factors considered in determining such price and terms, in addition to 
prevailing market conditions, included the history of and the prospects for 
the industry in which the Company competes, an assessment of the Company's 
management, the prospects of the Company, its capital structure and such 
other factors that were deemed relevant. 


   The Underwriter commenced operations in March 1994. Therefore, it does not 
have extensive experience as an underwriter of public offerings of 
securities. The firm is relatively small and no assurance can be given that 
the firm will be able to participate as a market maker in the Units, the 
Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants and no assurance can be given that 
another broker-dealer will make a market in the Units, the Common Stock or 
the Redeemable Warrants. The Underwriter has acted as managing underwriter of 
seven public offerings. 


   The Company and the Underwriter may jointly determine, based upon market 
conditions, to delist the Units upon the expiration of the 30 day period 
commencing on the date of this Prospectus. 

   The foregoing is a summary of the principal terms of the agreements 
described above and does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to a 
copy of each such agreement which are filed as exhibits to the Registration 
Statement. See "Additional Information."

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
NAM Corporation: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NAM 
Corporation as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated 
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the 
years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on 
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as 
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NAM 
Corporation as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations 
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

                               NAM CORPORATION 
                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

(1) NATURE OF BUSINESS 

NAM Corporation (NAM) provides a broad range of Alternative Dispute 
Resolution (ADR) services, including arbitration and mediation. NAM 
incorporated on January 12, 1994 and began operations on February 15, 1994. 
On October 31, 1994, National Arbitration & Mediation, Inc. (NA&M), which was 
owned by NAM's Chief Executive Officer and President, Roy Israel, and 
Executive Vice President, Cynthia Sanders, was acquired by and became a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of NAM (collectively referred to herein as the 
Company), in an exchange of 143 shares of NA&M for 657,112 shares in NAM. 
NA&M also provided a broad range of ADR services, including arbitrations and 
mediations. NA&M began operations in March 1992. 

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The following are the significant accounting and reporting policies applied 
by the Company which conform with generally accepted accounting principles. 

(a) Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the 
accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NA&M, National Video Conferencing, 
Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in April 1995, and Michael Marketing, 
Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in November 1991. The Company operates in 
only one business segment, ADR. All significant intercompany transactions and 
balances were eliminated in consolidation. 

As more fully described in note 1, NA&M was acquired by and became a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of NAM on October 31, 1994. The transaction was 
accounted for as a transfer of assets between companies under common control, 
with the assets and liabilities of NA&M combined with those of NAM at their 
historical carrying values. NAM's financial statements include the accounts 
and results of operations of NA&M as though they had been combined as of the 
beginning of the earliest period presented. All significant inter-company 
accounts and transactions between NAM and NA&M have been eliminated. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results may differ from those estimates. 

When necessary, certain reclassifications of prior year amounts were made to 
conform to the current year presentation. 

All share amounts have been restated to reflect the 25% stock dividend in 
February 1995 and the 1 for 2 reverse stock split and 14.436% stock dividend 
in March 1996. 

(b) Statement of Cash Flows 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company 
considers all short-term instruments with a maturity at date of purchase of 
three months or less to be cash equivalents. 

(c) Revenue Recognition 

The Company principally derives it revenues from fees charged for arbitration 
and mediation services. Each party to a proceeding is charged an 
administrative fee, a portion of which is non-refundable, when each party 
agrees to utilize the Company's services. The Company recognizes revenue when 
the arbitration or mediation occurs. Fees received prior to the arbitration 
or mediation are reflected as deferred income. Fees billed for cases not yet 
heard and not yet collected at June 30, 1995 and 1996 were $292,795 and 
$328,400, respectively. 

(d) Deferred Offering Costs 

Deferred offering costs as of June 30, 1995, included certain expenses 
associated with an initial public offering which was abandoned in October

related deferred offering costs of $61,127 were charged to other expenses. 
Deferred offering costs as of June 30, 1996, consist primarily of new legal, 
accounting and investment banking fees incurred in connection with the 
proposed initial public offering (the "IPO") which is anticipated to be 
completed by December 31, 1996. These costs will be reflected as a reduction 
from the proceeds of the IPO. In the event there is no such offering, these 
costs will be charged to operations. 

(e) Furniture & Equipment 

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using 
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets 
ranging from five to seven years. 

(f) Organizational Costs 

Organizational costs arose from NAM's organization in 1994. Organizational 
costs are currently being amortized over five years. 

(g) Income Taxes 

NA&M elected by unanimous consent of its shareholders to be taxed under the 
provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those 
provisions, NA&M did not pay Federal corporate income taxes on its taxable 
income and was not allowed a net operating loss carryover or carryback as a 
deduction. Instead, the stockholders were liable for individual Federal 
income taxes on their respective shares of the NA&M's taxable income and 
included their respective shares of the NA&M's net income in their individual 
income tax returns. 

NA&M also elected to be taxed as a New York State Subchapter S Corporation. 
The shareholders were liable for individual state income taxes on their 
respective shares of the NA&M's taxable income and included their respective 
shares of the NA&M's net income in their individual income tax returns. 

Additionally, NA&M was subject to a New York State corporate tax on its 
allocated entire net income. The tax rate is the difference between the 
regular corporation tax, including a temporary surcharge, and the maximum 
individual tax rate. NA&M's New York State corporate level tax was $9,142 and 
$2,234 for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, which is 
included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 

NA&M's Subchapter S Corporation status was terminated effective October 31, 
1994 when NA&M was acquired by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NAM, a 
C Corporation. Accordingly, a pro forma tax provision for Federal and state 
income taxes as if the Company was a C Corporation has been presented in the 
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 
30, 1995. 

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income 
Taxes". SFAS 109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for 
income taxes of APB Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method of 
accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 
109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated 
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial 
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their 
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences 
are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on 
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in 
income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has 
applied SFAS 109 beginning January 1, 1993. 

Recognition of tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards related to 
NAM are uncertain, and accordingly no deferred tax benefits have been 
recorded for the related operating losses. NAM has approximately $360,195 and 
$223,683 in net operating loss carryforwards as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, 
respectively. The deferred tax assets relating to these carryforwards, for 
which the Company maintains a 100% valuation allowance, are $122,466 at June 
30, 1995 and $76,052 at June 30, 1996, and are being recognized as realized.

(h) Earnings Per Share 

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of 
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods 
presented, which were retroactively adjusted to give recognition to the 
change in the capital structure as a result of contingently issuable shares, 
stock dividends and the reverse stock split. 

(3) SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 
115) "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" 
effective January 1, 1993. SFAS 115 addresses the accounting and reporting 
for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair 
values and all investments in debt securities. 

In accordance with the SFAS 115, the Company reflected securities available 
for sale at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reflected as a 
separate component of stockholders equity. The portfolio consisted 
principally of investments in mutual funds. The Company had no securities 
available for sale as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, as all securities were sold 
during the year ended June 30, 1995. Net gains of $1,711 were realized during 
the year ended June 30, 1995.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  - (Continued) 

(5) Notes Payable -- Private Placement  - (Continued) 

promissory notes were recorded at par value, were payable on June 30, 1996 
and required annual payments of accrued interest. This financing was offered 
in minimum Units of $5,025 denominations and multiples thereof with each 
person and/or firm participating therein purchasing a $5,000 8% promissory 
note and 1,787 restricted shares of NAM's common stock with a par value of 
$0.001 per share. 

The Company has sought an extension of these notes until the earlier of 
December 31, 1996 or the closing of the proposed IPO and received an 
extension from all noteholders except one. The two non-consenting Units 
totaling $10,050 were purchased by Company's management who also executed the 
extension agreement. The repayment of the notes is intended to be provided by 
the proceeds of an IPO of the Company's common stock. In the event the IPO is 
not successful, the Company will seek a further extension of the payment 
terms, attempt to refinance the notes or repay the notes from operating cash 
flow and funds available by management and its affiliates. 

(6) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and President entered into a three year 
employment contract with the Company commencing June 1994, whereby he shall 
receive a base annual salary of $85,000 during each of the three years 
thereof. Additionally, the employment agreement provides for a 5 percent 
annual cost of living increase (based upon prior years salary) and a bonus of 
4 percent of Company's pretax profits. 

The Company's Executive Vice President entered into a two-year employment 
contract with the Company commencing June 1996, whereby she shall receive a 
base salary of $90,000 during each of the two years. Additionally, the

in a form of a stock split, to all stockholders of record on February 1, 
1995. Effective March 29, 1996, the Company authorized a 1 for 2 reverse 
stock split, net of 14.436% stock dividend. 

The Company intends to pay the balance of its Subchapter S distributions to 
its shareholders prior to the initial public offering of its common stock, 
accordingly the balance of this distribution of $8,942 has been reflected as 
dividends payable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of 
June 30, 1996.

17,165 shares to Daniel Jansen and 19,579 shares to Robyn Aberbach. All of 
the shares vest after providing two to five years of service to the Company

in February 1995, which vest on July 1, 1996. The estimate market value per 
share at date of grant was $.01. These amounts were recorded as unearned 
compensation and are shown as a separate component of stockholders' deficit. 
No shares have been vested as of June 30, 1996. The Company recognized 
compensation expense of $444 and $769 during the years ended June 30, 1995 
and 1996, respectively, representing the amortization of unearned

issued to him on June 1, 1996 and will vest in the rest on June 1, 1999. 

On December 7, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Leon Katz, a

On July 15, 1996, the Company has entered into a financial public relations 
consulting agreement with Dr. Eugene Stricker and Mark Schindler, each of 
whom are founders of the Company, current stockholders and former directors

intends to issue to the underwriter additional warrants which enable the 
underwriter to acquire 140,000 Units for 120% of the initial public offering
