PROSPECTUS
                                1,300,000 SHARES
                           1,200,000 CLASS A WARRANTS
                                 N-VISION, INC.
 
    n-Vision, Inc. ("Company"), a Delaware corporation, hereby offers  1,300,000
shares  of common stock ("Common Stock"), $.01 par value, at $5.00 per share and
1,200,000 Class A warrants ("Class A Warrants") at $.15 per Class A Warrant. The
shares of  Common  Stock and  Class  A  Warrants will  be  separately  tradeable
immediately  upon  the effective  date  of this  offering  and may  be purchased
separately in varying amounts. See "Description of Securities."
    The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the date
of this Prospectus ("Effective Date"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the  holder
to  purchase one share of  Common Stock at $5.50 per  share during the four year
period commencing one year from the Effective Date hereof. The Class A  Warrants
are  redeemable  by  the  Company  for  $.05  per  Warrant,  at  any  time after
             , 1998, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average
closing price or bid  price of the  Common Stock, as  reported by the  principal
exchange  on  which  the Common  Stock  is  quoted, the  Nasdaq  SmallCap Market
("Nasdaq") or the National Quotation Bureau,  Incorporated, as the case may  be,
equals  or exceeds $9.00 per share, for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days
within a period of thirty (30) days ending within ten (10) days of the notice of
redemption. Upon thirty (30)  days' prior written notice  to all holders of  the
Class  A Warrants, the Company shall have the right to reduce the exercise price
and/or extend  the  term  of  the  Class  A  Warrants  in  compliance  with  the
requirements  of  Rule  13e-4  to the  extent  applicable.  See  "Description of
Securities."
   
    Also, the  registration statement  of  which this  Prospectus forms  a  part
covers the offering of 750,000 shares of Common Stock owned by three persons who
are   nonaffiliated  with   the  Underwriters   and  the   Company,  hereinafter
collectively referred to  as "Selling  Security-holders." The  shares of  Common
Stock  held by the Selling Security-holders may be sold commencing eighteen (18)
months from the date of this Prospectus, subject to earlier release at the  sole
discretion  of Stratton  Oakmont, Inc. ("Stratton  Oakmont and Representative"),
and such securities include  a legend with  such restrictions. Stratton  Oakmont
may  release the  securities held  by the  Selling Security-holders  at any time
after all securities subject to the Over-allotment Option have been sold or such
option has expired. The resale of the securities of the Selling Security-holders
are subject to Prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities  Act
of  1933, as amended. Sales of such  securities in the Over-allotment Option and
the early release of the Selling  Security-holder shares, which has occurred  in
previous  offerings underwritten by  Stratton Oakmont, or  the potential of such
sales at  any time  may have  an  adverse effect  on the  market prices  of  the
securities offered hereby. See "Selling Security-holders" and "Underwriting."
    
   
    The  Company  has applied  for inclusion  of  the Common  Stock and  Class A
Warrants on Nasdaq, although there can  be no assurances that an active  trading
market  will  develop,  even  if  the  securities  are  accepted  for quotation.
Additionally, if the Company's securities are accepted for quotation and  active
trading  develops, the Company is required  to maintain certain minimum criteria
established by Nasdaq, of which there can be no assurance that the Company  will
be  able to continue to fulfill such criteria. The Company has been advised that
the Company's  securities offered  hereby  will be  listed  on Nasdaq  upon  the
Effective  Date of this offering under the symbols "NVSN" and "NVSNW." See "Risk
Factors."
    
   
    Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
and Class  A Warrants.  It  is currently  anticipated  that the  initial  public
offering  price will  be $5.00 per  share of Common  Stock and $.15  per Class A
Warrant. The price of  the Common Stock,  as well as the  exercise price of  the
Class A Warrants, was arbitrarily determined by negotiations between the Company
and  Stratton Oakmont, and do not bear any relationship to the Company's assets,
book value, net worth or results of operations or any other established criteria
of value.  For  additional  information  regarding  the  factors  considered  in
determining  the  initial public  offering  price of  the  Common Stock  and the
exercise price of the Class A Warrants, see "Risk Factors -- Arbitrary  Offering
Price," "Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
    
   
    The  Underwriters from time to time  will become market makers and otherwise
effect transactions in  the securities  of this offering.  The Underwriters,  if
they participates in the market, may become an influence and thereafter a factor
of  increasing importance in the market for the securities. However, there is no
assurance that  the  Underwriters will  or  will  continue to  be  a  dominating
influence.  The  prices and  liquidity of  the  securities may  be significantly
affected by  the degree,  if any,  of the  Underwriters' participation  in  such
market  as a market  maker. The Underwriters may  discontinue such market making
activities at any time or from time to time.
    
    The Company does not presently file  reports and other information with  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  However,  following  completion  of this
offering, the Company intends  to furnish its  stockholders with annual  reports
containing  audited financial statements and such  interim reports, in each case
as it may determine to furnish or as may be required by law.
   
    ON FEBRUARY 28,  1995, STRATTON  OAKMONT BECAME SUBJECT  TO A  COURT-IMPOSED
PERMANENT  INJUNCTION  TO  COMPLY  WITH  CERTAIN  PROCEDURES  RECOMMENDED  BY AN
INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT  ARISING  OUT  OF  THE SETTLEMENT  OF  A  SECURITIES  AND
EXCHANGE  COMMISSION ("COMMISSION") PROCEEDING. THE  FAILURE BY STRATTON OAKMONT
TO COMPLY WITH THE PERMANENT INJUNCTION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT STRATTON  OAKMONT'S
ACTIVITIES  IN THAT THE COURT MAY ISSUE  A FURTHER ORDER RESTRICTING THE ABILITY
OF STRATTON OAKMONT TO ACT  AS A MARKET MAKER  OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES.  SEE
"RISK FACTORS."

EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION
   OR  ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY

    and the additional shares outstanding from which the proceeds would be  used
    to retire the related debt and the newly issued shares upon conversion.

    financial  statements adjusted to reflect the  PRO FORMA effect of the April
    1996 conversion of  $250,000 of  convertible notes payable  in exchange  for

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    THE  SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE  AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. ONLY THOSE PERSONS  ABLE TO LOSE THEIR  ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD  PURCHASE
THESE SECURITIES. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION,
SHOULD  CAREFULLY READ  THIS PROSPECTUS AND  CONSIDER, ALONG  WITH OTHER MATTERS
REFERRED TO HEREIN, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS:
 
    LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
 
    The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 16, 1994 and, as such,
faces the risks and problems associated with businesses in their early stages of
development, and the Company has a limited operating history upon which to  base
an  evaluation of its prospects. Such business prospects should be considered in
light of  the risks,  expenses and  difficulties frequently  encountered in  the
expansion  of a  business in  an industry  characterized by  a number  of market
entrants and intense competition. See "Business."
 
    BRIDGE FINANCING COSTS WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT EARNINGS
 
    The Company  does  not anticipate  reporting  earnings for  the  year  ended
December  31, 1996 principally as a result  of the imputed costs attributable to
the conversion  feature  granted in  contemplation  of this  offering  of  three
convertible  notes  payable  in  March  1996  aggregating  $250,000  at  a price
substantially below the  offering price of  Common Stock in  this offering.  The
notes  were converted  into 750,000  shares of common  stock in  April 1996. The
conversion price per share  for the convertible notes  payable was granted at  a
price  substantially  below  the offering  price  in  this offering  due  to the
speculative nature of the loans. Financing expense of $3,500,000 related to  the
issuance  of the 750,000  shares of common  stock upon conversion  in April 1996
will be accrued during the period from  March 29, 1996, the origination date  of
the  notes, and the date of the offering  with a corresponding credit to paid in
capital. Consequently,  earnings  will  be negatively  impacted  by  this  cost;
however,  net stockholders' equity will not be impacted as the charge to expense
will be offset  by a  corresponding increase in  paid in  capital. In  addition,
there  will be no cash  outlay associated with the  issuance of such securities.
See  "Certain   Transactions,"   "Selling   Security-holders"   and   "Financial
Statements."
 
    NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY OR PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
 
    The Company can make no assurances that the future operations of the Company
will  result in additional revenues or will be profitable. Should the operations
of the Company be profitable, it is likely that the Company would retain much or
all of its earnings in order to finance future growth and expansion.  Therefore,
the  Company does not  presently intend to  pay dividends, and  it is not likely
that any  dividends  will be  paid  in  the foreseeable  future.  See  "Dividend
Policy."
 
    POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
 
    The  Company intends to fund its operations  and other capital needs for the
next 12 months substantially from the  proceeds of this offering, but there  can
be  no assurance  that such  funds will  be sufficient  for these  purposes. The
Company may require substantial amounts of the proceeds of this offering for its
future expansion, operating costs and working  capital. The Company has made  no
arrangements  to obtain future additional financing,  if required, and there can
be no  assurance that  such financing  will be  available, or  that it  will  be
available on acceptable terms. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR AND FOREIGN CUSTOMERS
 
    For  the year ended December 31,  1995, revenue derived from three customers
(E-OIR Measurements, Inc., U.S. Naval  Surface Warfare Center and Solidray  Co.,
Ltd.  (Japan)) amounted to approximately 11%,  16% and 10%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenue. For the year  ended December 31, 1994, revenue  derived
from  two customers (Division Limited, U.K.  and Media Systems GmbH) amounted to
approximately 30% and 25%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
    The dependence  on  major  customers subjects  the  Company  to  significant
financial  risks  in  the operation  of  its  business should  a  major customer
terminate, for  any  reason, its  business  relationship with  the  Company.  In
addition,  for the years ended  December 31, 1995 and  1994, the Company derived
53% and 66% of  sales, respectively, from customers  outside the United  States,
subjecting  the  Company  to  significant financial  risk  stemming  from, among
others, factors  such  as  inadequate or  limited  financial  information  being
available  to assess  the creditworthiness  of foreign  customers. Also, because
such customers are foreign, associated operating and servicing costs are  higher
placing  a larger demand on the Company's  limited resources. In such event, the
financial condition of the Company may be adversely affected and the Company may
be required to obtain additional financing, of which there is no assurance.  See
"Business" and "Financial Statements."
 
    POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND POSSIBLE INSUFFICIENCY OF INSURANCE
 
    The Company's virtual reality ("VR") products and systems involve the use of
artificial  environments that may  subject the user  to risk of  injury should a
product be used incorrectly or fail. The  Company therefore may be exposed to  a
significant risk of liability for personal injury. The Company maintains quality
control programs in an attempt to reduce the risk of potential damage to persons
and property and any potential liability associated with the use of its products
and  systems. In addition,  following the closing of  this offering, the Company
intends to maintain $1,000,000 of liability  insurance (in the aggregate or  per
claim)  covering  damages resulting  from  negligent acts,  errors,  mistakes or
omissions in rendering or failing to render a product or system safe.
 
    The Company endeavors to contractually limit its potential liability to  the
amount  and terms of  its insurance policy.  However, the Company  is not always
able to  obtain  such  limitations  on  liability,  and  such  provisions,  when
obtained, may not adequately shelter the Company from liability. Consequently, a
partially  or  completely  uninsured  claim,  if  successful  and  of sufficient
magnitude, may have a material adverse  effect on the Company and its  financial
condition.
 
    DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT
 
    The  Company's success  is principally  dependent on  its current management
personnel for  the operation  of  its business.  In particular,  Christopher  J.
Lewis,  the president and chief  operating officer of the  Company, has played a
significant role  in the  development and  management of  the Company,  although
there  is  no  assurance  that  additional  managerial  assistance  will  not be
required. The analysis of  new business opportunities will  be undertaken by  or
under the supervision of the management of the Company. The Company has recently
entered  into employment agreements with Messrs. Delmar J. Lewis, Christopher J.
Lewis and  Robert B.  Hamilton. However,  if the  employment by  the Company  of
either  Messrs.  Lewis, Lewis  and Hamilton  terminates, or  they are  unable to
perform their duties, the  Company may be substantially  affected. Prior to  the
closing  of this offering, the Company  intends to obtain key-man life insurance
on Christopher J. Lewis  in the amount  of $1 million. The  Company will be  the
owner and beneficiary of the insurance policy. See "Use of Proceeds," "Business"
and "Management."
 
    BENEFITS TO BE RECEIVED BY AFFILIATES ARE SIGNIFICANT
 
    The  Company was  established in 1988  as a division  of Advanced Technology
Systems Inc. ("ATS"), a McLean,  Virginia based information technology  products
and  services company,  which is principally  owned and controlled  by Delmar J.
Lewis, the chairman of the board and a principal stockholder of the Company. The
Company was incorporated  in Delaware  on September  16, 1994  and acquired  all
rights,  title  and interest  in  the VR  products and  systems  from ATS  for a
purchase price of $1,520,590, of which $500,000 was subsequently forgiven by ATS
in October 1995. The purchase price represents the net expenses incurred by  ATS
while the Company was a division of ATS. The balance due to ATS of $1,020,590 is
payable  under a promissory note  bearing simple annual interest  at the rate of
prime plus  1.375%,  with semi-annual  payments  commencing May  1996  extending
through  May 2001.  This note  was retired in  May 1996  with a  cash payment of
$20,590 and the issuance  of 200,000 shares of  the Company's common stock.  The
Company  intends  to use  $500,000 of  the  net proceeds  from this  offering to
curtail a  portion of  the amount  due to  ATS under  a line  of credit  between
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
the  Company and  ATS. Certain  members of  the management  of the  Company have
pledged their securities as  collateral for the promissory  note and a PRO  RATA
portion  of the collateralized securities will be  released as the note is paid.
See "Certain Transactions."
 
    UNCERTAINTY OF PROPOSED MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS CAMPAIGN
 
    Following the closing of this offering, the Company intends to use a part of
the net proceeds to engage  in a mergers and  acquisitions campaign in order  to
merge  with or acquire companies engaged in a similar or complementary business.
The Company has not entered into any  negotiations to merge with or acquire  any
such  target companies,  but the Company  has identified  several such companies
engaged in a complementary business. The Company can make no assurances that  it
will  be  able to  merge with  or  acquire any  companies. Although  the Company
intends to utilize  up to  approximately $500,000 of  the net  proceeds of  this
offering  in  its  mergers  and acquisitions  activities  during  the  12 months
following the date of this Prospectus, no assurances can be made that such funds
will enable the Company  to expand its base  or realize profitable  consolidated
operations. In addition, the Company's stockholders may not have the opportunity
to  review the financial statements of any of the companies that may be acquired
or have the opportunity to vote on any proposed acquisitions since Delaware  law
does  not require such review and approval. Should such funds not be utilized in
its mergers  and acquisitions  activities, the  Company intends  to utilize  the
funds  in equal amounts in working  capital, capital equipment and marketing and
sales. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    LITIGATION INVOLVEMENT OF UNDERWRITER MAY HAVE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES.
 
   
    RECENT NASD ACTION INVOLVING STRATTON OAKMONT
    
 
   
    The Company has been advised by Stratton Oakmont that the NASD (District 10)
filed a  complaint (No.  C10950081)  on October  5, 1995  ("Complaint")  against
Stratton Oakmont, Steven Sanders, the head trader of Stratton Oakmont, Daniel M.
Porush,  the president of Stratton Oakmont, and Paul F. Byrne, formerly Stratton
Oakmont's director  of compliance  (collectively, the  "Respondents"),  alleging
various  violations of the NASD Rules  of Fair Practice. The complaint consisted
of three  causes. The  first cause  alleged that  Stratton Oakmont  and  Sanders
effected  principal retail sales of securities  at prices that were fraudulently
excessive. The second cause  alleged that Stratton  Oakmont and Sanders  charged
excessive  markups. The  third cause alleged  that Stratton  Oakmont, Porush and
Byrne  failed  to  establish,   maintain  and  enforce  reasonable   supervisory
procedures designed to assure compliance with the NASD's rules and policies.
    
 
    On  April 15,  1996 the NASD  in its  decision found all  of the Respondents
except Paul Byrne  in violation of  all three causes  and imposed the  following
sanctions:
 
    -Sanders was censured, fined $25,000 and was suspended from association with
     any member of the NASD in any capacity for a period of one year.
 
   
    -Stratton  Oakmont was censured, fined $500,000 and was required to disgorge
     its excess profits  to its customers,  plus prejudgment interest,  totaling
     $1,876,205. In addition, Stratton Oakmont was suspended for a period of one
     year from effecting any principal retail transactions.
    
 
    -Porush  was censured, fined  $250,000 and barred  from association with any
     member of the NASD in any capacity.
 
   
    Stratton Oakmont,  Porush  and Sanders  have  appealed the  NASD's  decision
thereby staying imposition of the sanctions.
    
 
   
    If  the sanctions  imposed on Stratton  Oakmont are not  reversed on appeal,
Stratton Oakmont's ability to act as a market maker of the Company's  securities
will  be restricted.  The Company cannot  ensure that other  broker dealers will
make a  market in  the Company's  securities.  In the  event that  other  broker
dealers  fail  to make  a market  in the  Company's securities,  the possibility
exists that the market for and the liquidity of the Company's securities may  be
adversely  affected to such an extent that  public security holders may not have
anyone   to   purchase   their   securities    when   offered   for   sale    at
    
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
   
any  price.  In  such event,  the  market  for and  liquidity  of  the Company's
securities may not exist. It should be noted that although Stratton Oakmont  may
not  be the sole market maker in the  Company's securities, it may likely be the
dominant market maker in the Company's securities. See "Underwriting."
    
 
    PERMANENT INJUNCTION GRANTED  -- STRATTON  OAKMONT ENJOINED  TO COMPLY  WITH
    RECOMMENDATIONS  OF  AN INDEPENDENT  CONSULTANT  AND AN  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
    APPOINTED PURSUANT TO AN ADMINISTRATION ORDER
 
    The Company  has  been  advised  by Stratton  Oakmont  that  the  Commission
instituted  an action on December  14, 1994 in the  United States District Court
for the District  of Columbia  against Stratton Oakmont.  The complaint  alleged
that Stratton Oakmont was not complying with the Administrative Order entered by
the  Commission on March  17, 1994 ("Administrative Order")  by failing to adopt
the recommendations of an independent  consultant. The Administrative Order  was
previously  consented to by  Stratton Oakmont, without  admitting or denying the
findings contained  therein,  as  settlement  of  an  action  commenced  against
Stratton Oakmont by the Commission in March 1992, which found willful violations
of the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws such that Stratton Oakmont:
 
    -engaged in fraudulent sales practices;
 
    -engaged in and/or permitted unauthorized trading in customer accounts;
 
    -knowingly  and  recklessly  manipulated  the market  price  of  a company's
     securities by dominating and controlling the market for those securities;
 
    -made improper and unsupported price predictions with regard to  recommended
     over-the-counter securities; and
 
    -made material misrepresentations and omissions regarding certain securities
     and its experience in the securities industry.
 
    Pursuant  to the Administrative Order, Stratton  Oakmont was censured and an
independent consultant ("Stratton Consultant") was  chosen by the Commission  to
advise  and  consult  with Stratton  Oakmont  and  to review  and  recommend new
supervisory and compliance procedures. The complaint sought:
 
    -to enjoin Stratton Oakmont from violating the Administrative Order;
 
    -an order  commanding Stratton  Oakmont to  comply with  the  Administrative
     Order; and
 
    -to  have a Special  Compliance Monitor appointed  to ensure compliance with
     the Administrative  Order.  Stratton  Oakmont  claimed  that  the  Stratton
     Consultant  exceeded his authority  under the Administrative  Order and had
     violated the terms of the Administrative Order.
 
    On February  28, 1995,  the  court granted  the  Commission's motion  for  a
permanent  injunction ("Permanent  Injunction") and ordered  Stratton Oakmont to
comply with  the Administrative  Order,  which required  the appointment  of  an
independent  consultant and a separate independent auditor and required that all
recommendations  be  complied  with,  including  the  taping  of  all  telephone
conversations  between  Stratton  Oakmont's  brokers  and  their  customers.  In
granting  the  Commission's  motion  for  a  Permanent  Injunction,  the   court
determined that Stratton Oakmont's conduct unequivocally demonstrated that there
is  a substantial likelihood that it will continue to evade its responsibilities
under the Administrative  Order. On April  20, 1995, Stratton  Oakmont filed  an
appeal  to the United States Court of  Appeals for the District of Columbia, and
on April 24, 1995 filed  a motion to stay  the Permanent Injunction pending  the
outcome  of the appeal.  The motion to stay  was denied. It  is uncertain when a
decision on the  appeal will  be rendered. The  failure by  Stratton Oakmont  to
comply  with  the Administrative  Order  or Permanent  Injunction  may adversely
effect Stratton Oakmont's activities in that the court may enter a further order
restricting the ability  of Stratton Oakmont  to act  as a market  maker of  the
Company's    securities.    The   effect    of    such   action    may   prevent
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
the holders  of the  Company's  securities from  selling such  securities  since
Stratton  Oakmont  may  be restricted  from  acting  as a  market  maker  of the
Company's securities and, in such event, will  not be able to execute a sale  of
such  securities. Also,  if other broker  dealers fail  to make a  market in the
Company's securities,  the  public  security  holders may  not  have  anyone  to
purchase  their securities when offered  for sale at any  price and the security
holders may suffer the loss of their entire investment.
 
    RECENT STATE ACTIONS INVOLVING STRATTON OAKMONT -- POSSIBLE LOSS OF
LIQUIDITY
 
    As a  result  of  the  Permanent  Injunction,  the  states  of  New  Jersey,
Pennsylvania  and Indiana have commenced actions seeking, among other things, to
revoke Stratton Oakmont's license to do  business in such states. The states  of
Alabama,  Delaware,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  and  Arkansas  also have
suspended Stratton Oakmont's license pending a resolution of the proceedings  in
those  states. The  states of Minnesota,  Vermont, and Rhode  Island have served
upon Stratton Oakmont notices of intent to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license  in
such  states. In  the state  of Mississippi,  Stratton Oakmont  has agreed  to a
suspension of its license pending resolution of certain claims and review of its
procedures and practices by the state authorities. In addition, Stratton Oakmont
withdrew its registration in  the State of  Maryland and notwithstanding,  there
may  be further  administrative action against  the firm. The  firm withdrew its
registration in Massachusetts with a right to reapply for registration after two
(2) years and agreed to a temporary cessation of business in Utah pending an on-
site inspection and further administrative proceedings. The state of Oregon,  as
a  result of  the Permanent Injunction,  has revoked  Stratton Oakmont's license
subject to the holding of a hearing to determine definitively Stratton Oakmont's
license status,  and Stratton  Oakmont,  in this  proceeding  as well  as  other
proceedings,  expects to be able to demonstrate that the Permanent Injunction is
not of a nature  as to be  a lawful basis to  revoke Stratton Oakmont's  license
permanently. Finally, Stratton Oakmont has received an order limiting license in
the state of Nebraska. Such proceedings, if ultimately successful, may adversely
affect  the market for  and liquidity of the  Company's securities if additional
broker-dealers do  not make  a  market in  the Company's  securities.  Moreover,
should  investors purchase any of the  securities in this Offering from Stratton
Oakmont prior to a revocation of Stratton Oakmont's license in their state, such
investors will  not be  able to  resell such  securities in  such state  through
Stratton  Oakmont but will  be required to  retain a new  broker-dealer firm for
such purpose. The Company  cannot ensure that other  broker-dealers will make  a
market  in the Company's securities. In the event that other broker-dealers fail
to make a market  in the Company's securities,  the possibility exists that  the
market  for  and the  liquidity  of the  Company's  securities may  be adversely
affected to such an extent that public  security holders may not have anyone  to
purchase their securities when offered for sale at any price. In such event, the
market  for, and liquidity and prices of the Company's securities may not exist.
It should be noted  that although Stratton  Oakmont may not  be the sole  market
maker  in the Company's securities,  it will most likely  be the dominant market
maker  in  the  Company's  securities.  In  addition,  in  the  event  that  the
Underwriter's  license to do business is revoked  in the states set forth above,
the Underwriter has  advised the  Company that it  believes the  members of  the
selling  syndicate  in  this Offering  will  be able  to  make a  market  in the
Company's securities in  such states  and that  such an  event will  not have  a
materially  adverse effect on this Offering, although no assurance can be given.
See "Underwriting."

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS, INC. AT 1-800-289-9999.
 
    PAUL CARMICHAEL V. STRATTON OAKMONT.
 
    The  Company has  been advised  by Stratton  Oakmont that  Honorable John E.
Sprizzo, United States Judge for  the Southern District of  New York, on May  6,
1994  denied  the  class certification  motion  in PAUL  CARMICHAEL  V. STRATTON
OAKMONT, INC., ET AL.,  Civ. 0720 (JES), of  the plaintiff Paul Carmichael.  The
class  action complaint alleges  manipulation and fraudulent  sales practices in
connection with  a  number of  securities.  The allegations  were  substantially
similar  and involve  much of  the same  time period  as the  Commission's civil
complaint (discussed above). The Company has further been informed that  counsel
for  the class  action plaintiff  is seeking  to re-argue  the motion  for class
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
certification. Should the motion for re-argument be denied, Paul Carmichael  may
likely  be required to arbitrate his individual claim for the monetary losses in
his security brokerage  account before  the National  Association of  Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
 
    BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
 
    The management of the Company has broad discretion to adjust the application
and  allocation of the  net proceeds of this  offering, including funds received
upon exercise of the Class A Warrants, in order to address changed circumstances
and opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, the success of the Company will
be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the management of
the Company with respect to the  application and allocation of the net  proceeds
hereof.  Pending use of such proceeds, the net proceeds of this offering will be
invested by the Company  in temporary, short-term interest-bearing  obligations.
See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    UNCERTAIN PROTECTION OF PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
 
    The  Company  currently does  not have  any  patent, trademark  or copyright
applications pending.  However,  the  Company may  file  patent,  trademark  and
copyright  applications  relating  to  certain  of  the  Company's  products. If
patents, registered trademarks or copyrights were to be issued, there can be  no
assurance as to the extent of the protection that will be granted to the Company
as a result of having such patents, trademarks or copyrights or that the Company
will  be able  to afford  the expenses  of any  complex litigation  which may be
necessary to enforce its proprietary  rights. Failure of the Company's  proposed
patents, trademark and copyright applications may have a material adverse impact
on  the Company's business. Except  as may be required  by the filing of patent,
trademark and copyright applications, the Company will attempt to keep all other
proprietary information secret and to take  such actions as may be necessary  to
insure  the  results of  its development  activities are  not disclosed  and are
protected under the common law concerning trade secrets. Such steps will include
the execution of nondisclosure agreements by key Company personnel and may  also
include  the imposition of restrictive agreements on purchasers of the Company's
products and  services.  There  is  no assurance  that  the  execution  of  such
agreements  will be effective to  protect the Company, that  the Company will be
able to  enforce  the  provisions  of  such  nondisclosure  agreements  or  that
technology  and  other  information  acquired by  the  Company  pursuant  to its
development activities will be deemed to  constitute trade secrets by any  court
of competent jurisdiction. See "Business."
 
    SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION
 
    Businesses  in the  United States which  are engaged in  the development and
production  of  high  technology  products  are  characterized  by  intense  and
substantial  competition. Almost  all of  the companies  with which  the Company
intends to  compete  are substantially  larger  and have  substantially  greater
resources than the Company. It is also likely that other competitors will emerge
in  the future. The Company will compete with companies that have greater market
recognition, greater resources and broader  capabilities than the Company. As  a
consequence, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
compete in the marketplace. See "Business."
 
    LIMITATION ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY
 
    As  permitted  by Delaware  corporation  law, the  Company's  Certificate of
Incorporation  limits  the  liability  of  directors  to  the  Company  or   its
stockholders  for monetary  damages for  breach of  a director's  fiduciary duty
except for liability in certain instances. As a result of the Company's  charter
provision and Delaware law, stockholders may have more limited rights to recover
against  directors for breach  of fiduciary duty  than as existing  prior to the
enactment of the law. See "Management -- Limitation on Liability of Directors."
 
    ARBITRARY OFFERING PRICE
 
    There has been  no prior  public market  for the  Company's securities.  The
price  to  the public  of  the securities  offered  hereby has  been arbitrarily
determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter and bears  no
relationship  to  the Company's  earnings, book  value  or any  other recognized
criteria of value.  The offering price  of $5.00 per  share is substantially  in
excess of the net
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
tangible  book value deficiency of $(.24) per share  as of March 31, 1996 and in
excess  of  the  price  received  by  the  Company  for  shares  sold  in  prior
transactions.   See   "Prospectus   Summary   --   Selected   Financial   Data,"
"Underwriting,"   "Dilution   and   Other   Comparative   Data"   and   "Certain
Transactions."
 
    IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
 
    An  investor  in this  offering  will experience  immediate  and substantial
dilution. As  of March  31, 1996,  the Company  had a  net tangible  book  value
deficiency  of $(933,830) or  $(.24) per share,  adjusted to give  effect to the
April 1996 conversion of $250,000 of  Convertible Notes Payable in exchange  for
750,000  shares of  common stock  and the May  1996 retirement  of $1,000,000 in
notes payable upon the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock. After  giving
affect  to the sale of the shares offered hereby at an assumed offering price of
$5.00 per  share, after  deducting underwriting  discounts and  commissions  and
estimated  offering expenses, PRO FORMA net  tangible book value would have been
$4,203,170 or $.80 per share.  The result will be  an immediate increase in  net
tangible  book value per share  of $1.04 (433%) to  existing stockholders and an
immediate dilution to new investors of $4.20 (84%) per share. See "Dilution."
 
   REQUIREMENTS OF CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION IN
   CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF THE CLASS A WARRANTS
 
    The Company will be able to  issue the securities offered hereby, shares  of
its  Common Stock upon  the exercise of  the Class A  Warrants and Underwriter's
Purchase Option  only if  (i) there  is  a current  Prospectus relating  to  the
securities  offered hereby under an  effective Registration Statement filed with
the Securities  and Exchange  Commission, and  (ii) such  Common Stock  is  then
qualified for sale or exempt therefrom under applicable state securities laws of
the jurisdictions in which the various holders of Class A Warrants reside. There
can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in maintaining
a  current  Registration  Statement.  After  a  Registration  Statement  becomes
effective, it may require updating by the filing of a post-effective  amendment.
A  post-effective amendment is required (i) anytime after nine months subsequent
to the Effective Date when any  information contained in the Prospectus is  over
sixteen  months old; (ii) when  facts or events have  occurred which represent a
fundamental change in the information  contained in the Registration  Statement;
or (iii) when any material change occurs in the information relating to the plan
or distribution of the securities registered by such Registration Statement. The
Company  anticipates that this Registration  Statement will remain effective for
not more  than  nine months  following  the date  of  this Prospectus  or  until
            ,  1997, assuming  a post-effective  amendment is  not filed  by the
Company. The Company intends to  qualify the sale of the  Class A Warrants in  a
limited  number  of  states,  although certain  exemptions  under  certain state
securities ("Blue Sky") laws may permit  the Class A Warrants to be  transferred
to  purchasers in  states other than  those in  which the Class  A Warrants were
initially qualified.  Qualification for  the exercise  or sale  of the  Class  A
Warrants in the states is essential for the establishment of a trading market in
the  securities. The  Company can  make no  assurances that  it will  be able to
qualify its securities  in any state.  The Company will  be prevented,  however,
from  issuing Common Stock upon exercise of the Class A Warrants in those states
where exemptions  are unavailable  and the  Company has  failed to  qualify  the
Common  Stock issuable upon  exercise of the  Class A Warrants.  The Company may
decide not to seek, or may not  be able to obtain qualification of the  issuance
of  such Common Stock in  all of the states in  which the ultimate purchasers of
the Class A  Warrants reside.  In such  a case, the  Class A  Warrants of  those
purchasers  will expire  and have no  value if  such Class A  Warrants cannot be
exercised or  sold. Accordingly,  a trading  market,  if any,  for the  Class  A
Warrants  may be limited because of the  Company's obligation to fulfill both of
the foregoing requirements. See "Description of Securities."
 
   ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
   MARKET
 
    The Company is authorized  to issue 25,000,000 shares  of its Common  Stock,
$.01  par value. If all  of the 1,300,000 shares  of Common Stock offered hereby
are sold, there will be a total  of 5,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued  and
outstanding.  However, the  total number  of shares  of Common  Stock issued and
outstanding  does  not  include  the  exercise  of  up  to  1,200,000  Class   A
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
   
Warrants  offered  to investors  in this  offering to  purchase up  to 1,200,000
shares of  the Company's  Common  Stock. Moreover,  the Underwriters  have  been
granted  an option to purchase up to  130,000 shares of Common Stock and 120,000
Class A Warrants in connection with this offering, which has been authorized  by
the  Company for issuance. After reserving a total of 1,320,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance upon the exercise of all the Class A Warrants, if all of  the
Class A Warrants are exercised, the Company will have at least 18,300,000 shares
of  authorized but unissued capital stock available for issuance without further
shareholder approval. As a result, any  issuance of additional shares of  Common
Stock  may  cause  current shareholders  of  the Company  to  suffer significant
dilution which  may  adversely affect  the  market  for the  securities  of  the
Company.  Pursuant to  the terms  of the  Underwriting Agreement,  the Company's
stockholders and the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer, assign or  issue
any  securities of the Company for  a period of 24 months  from the date of this
Prospectus without  the  prior  consent of  the  Underwriters.  See  "Dilution,"
"Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
    
 
    LACK OF PRIOR MARKET FOR SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
 
   
    No  prior market has existed for the  securities being offered hereby and no
assurance can be given that a  market will develop subsequent to this  offering.
The  Underwriters may make  a market in  the securities of  the Company upon the
closing of this offering, but there is  no assurance that it will be  successful
in its efforts.
    
 
    WARRANTS SUBJECT TO REDEMPTION
 
    The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the date
of  this Prospectus ("Effective Date"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of  Common Stock at $5.50 per  share during the four  year
period  commencing one year from the Effective Date hereof. The Class A Warrants
are redeemable  by  the  Company  for  $.05  per  Warrant,  at  any  time  after
            ,  1998, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average
closing price or bid  price of the  Common Stock, as  reported by the  principal
exchange  on which the Common Stock is quoted, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the
National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, as the  case may be, equals or  exceeds
$9.00 per share, for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days within a period of
thirty  (30) days ending within ten (10)  days of the notice of redemption. Upon
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to  all holders of the Class A  Warrants,
the  Company shall have the right to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the
term of the  Class A  Warrants. Redemption of  the Warrants  will force  holders
thereof  to either (i)  exercise such Warrants  and pay the  exercise price at a
time when it may be less than advantageous economically to do so, or (ii) accept
the redemption price,  which may  be substantially  less than  the market  value
thereof  at the time of redemption. Sales of such securities or the potential of
such sales at any time  may have an adverse effect  on the market prices of  the
securities   offered  hereby.   See  "Certain   Transactions,"  "Description  of
Securities," "Selling Security-holders" and "Underwriting."
 
    The Company  intends to  qualify the  sale of  the securities  in a  limited
number  of states,  although certain  exemptions under  certain state securities
("Blue Sky") laws  may permit the  Warrants to be  transferred to purchasers  in
states  other than  those in  which the  Warrants were  initially qualified. The
Company will be prevented, however, from  issuing Common Stock upon exercise  of
the  Warrants in those  states where exemptions are  unavailable and the Company
has failed to qualify the Common  Stock issuable upon exercise of the  Warrants.
The  Company may decide not to seek, or  may not be able to obtain qualification
of the issuance of such Common Stock in all of the states in which the  ultimate
purchasers  of  the  Warrants  reside.  In  such  case,  the  Warrants  of those
purchasers will expire and have no value if such Warrants cannot be exercised or
sold. Accordingly, the  market for the  Warrants may be  limited because of  the
Company's obligation to fulfill the foregoing requirements.
 
   
   UNDERWRITERS' INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET MAY HAVE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES
    
 
   
    A  significant  number  of  securities  may  be  sold  to  customers  of the
Underwriters. Such customers of the  Underwriters of this offering  subsequently
may  engage in transactions for the sale  or purchase of such securities through
or with  the Underwriters.  Although they  have no  legal obligation  to do  so,
    
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
   
the  Underwriters from  time to  time in the  future will  make a  market in and
otherwise effect transactions  in the  Company's securities. To  the extent  the
Underwriters  act as  marketmaker in  the securities,  they may  be a dominating
influence in that  market. The  price and liquidity  of such  securities may  be
affected  by  the degree,  if  any, of  the  Underwriters' participation  in the
market, inasmuch  as a  significant amount  of such  securities may  be sold  to
customers  of the Underwriters. Such customers, as customers of the Underwriters
of this  offering, subsequently  may  engage in  transactions  for the  sale  or
purchase  of  such  securities through  or  with the  Underwriters,  although no
agreements or understandings, written or oral, exist for such transactions,  and
such  transactions may further enhance the Underwriters' dominating influence on
the market. Such market making activities, if commenced, may be discontinued  at
any  time or from time  to time by the  Underwriters without obligation or prior
notice. If a dominating influence at such time, the Underwriters' discontinuance
may adversely affect the price and liquidity of the securities.
    
 
   
    Further,  unless  granted  an  exemption  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  to its Rule 10b-6, the  Underwriters may be prohibited from engaging
in any market making activities with regard to the Company's securities for  the
period  from two or nine business days prior to any solicitation of the exercise
of Warrants until the later of the termination of such solicitation activity  or
the  termination, by waiver or otherwise, of any right that the Underwriters may
have to receive a fee for  the exercise of Warrants following the  solicitation.
As  a result, the Underwriters may be unable to continue to provide a market for
the  Company's  securities  during  certain  periods  while  the  Warrants   are
exercisable,  which  may  adversely  affect  the  price  and  liquidity  of  the
securities.
    
 
   
   CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO UNDERWRITERS MAY REDUCE PROCEEDS AVAILABLE TO THE
   COMPANY
    
 
   
    The Company has also agreed to pay fees to the Underwriters, aggregating  up
to  five  percent  of the  consideration  involved  in the  transaction,  if the
Underwriters arrange  equity  financing,  debt  financing  and  assistance  with
mergers  and acquisitions,  for the  Company other  than this  offering during a
period of five years after the date  of this Prospectus, or if the  Underwriters
obtain  or are  influential in  increasing any lines  of credit  the Company may
have, provided such financing or increase is accepted by the Company. Such  fees
will  reduce the amount of proceeds available to the Company from such financing
or line of credit. Further, in addition to an ten percent underwriting discount,
the Company has  also agreed to  pay the Underwriters  a nonaccountable  expense
allowance  of three percent of the gross proceeds of this offering, as well as a
fee of four percent of the exercise price of the Warrants, if certain conditions
are met. To the extent the foregoing  compensation is paid from the proceeds  of
this  offering, the amounts  available to the  Company, will be  reduced. On the
closing date, the Company will sell to the Underwriters for a purchase price  of
$100,  an option to purchase 130,000 shares  of Common Stock and 120,000 Class A
Warrants at 165% of the initial offering prices of $5.00 per share and $.15  per
Warrant, on the date of this Prospectus. See "Underwriting."
    
 
   EXERCISE OF CLASS A WARRANTS MAY HAVE DILUTIVE EFFECT ON MARKET
 
    The Class A Warrants will provide, during their term, an opportunity for the
holder  to  profit  from a  rise  in the  market  price,  of which  there  is no
assurance, with resulting dilution in the ownership interest in the Company held
by the then  present stockholders.  Holders of  the Warrants  most likely  would
exercise  the Warrants and purchase  the underlying Common Stock  at a time when
the Company may be  able to obtain  capital by a new  offering of securities  on
terms  more favorable than those  provided by such Warrants,  in which event the
terms on which the  Company may be  able to obtain  additional capital would  be
affected adversely. See "Description of Securities" and "Underwriting."
 
   "PENNY STOCK" REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY OF
   SECURITIES
 
    The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), Washington, D.C., has
adopted  regulations  which  generally define  "penny  stock" to  be  any equity
security that has a market  price (as defined) less than  $5.00 per share or  an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Upon
authorization of the securities offered hereby for quotation on the Nasdaq Small
Cap  Market  ("Nasdaq"),  such  securities will  initially  be  exempt  from the
definition of "penny stock."
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
If the securities offered hereby are removed from listing by Nasdaq at any  time
following  the Effective  Date, the Company's  securities may  become subject to
rules that impose additional sales  practice requirements on broker-dealers  who
sell  such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally those persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income  exceeding  $200,000,  or  $300,000  together  with  their  spouse).  For
transactions  covered  by these  rules, the  broker-dealer  must make  a special
suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have  received
the  purchaser's  written  consent to  the  transaction prior  to  the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction  involving a penny  stock, unless exempt,  the
rules  require  the delivery,  prior to  the transaction,  of a  risk disclosure
document mandated by  the Commission  relating to  the penny  stock market.  The
broker-dealer   also  must  disclose   the  commissions  payable   to  both  the
broker-dealer and  the registered  representative,  current quotations  for  the
securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer
must  disclose  this  fact and  the  broker-dealer's presumed  control  over the
market. Finally,  monthly  statements  must  be  sent  disclosing  recent  price
information  for the  penny stock  held in  the account  and information  on the
limited market  in  penny stocks.  Consequently,  the "penny  stock"  rules  may
restrict  the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and may
affect the  ability  of  purchasers  in this  offering  to  sell  the  Company's
securities in the secondary market.
 
    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET
 
   
    All  of  the  Company's currently  outstanding  shares of  common  stock are
"restricted securities" and,  in the future,  may be sold  upon compliance  with
Rule  144,  adopted under  the  Securities Act  of  1933, as  amended.  Rule 144
provides, in essence, that a person holding "restricted securities" for a period
of two years may sell only an amount every three months equal to the greater  of
(a)  one percent  of the  Company's issued  and outstanding  shares, or  (b) the
average weekly volume  of sales  during the  four calendar  weeks preceding  the
sale.  The  amount of  "restricted  securities" which  a  person who  is  not an
affiliate of the Company  may sell is not  so limited, since non-affiliates  may
sell  without volume limitation  their shares held  for three years  if there is
adequate current public information available  concerning the Company. Upon  the
sale  of the securities of this offering, and assuming that there is no exercise
of any issued and outstanding Class A Warrants, the Company will have  5,250,000
shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which 3,200,000 shares are
"restricted securities." Therefore, during each three month period, beginning in
November  1996, a holder of restricted securities who has held them for at least
the two year period, which began on November 1, 1994, may sell under Rule 144  a
number  of shares up to  52,500 shares. Non-affiliated persons  who hold for the
three-year period described above may  sell unlimited shares once their  holding
period  is  met.  Pursuant  to  the terms  of  the  Underwriting  Agreement, the
Company's stockholders and the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer, assign
or issue any securities of the Company for  a period of 24 months from the  date
of this Prospectus without the prior consent of the Representative.
    
 
   
    This  offering also  includes 750,000  shares of  Common Stock  owned by the
Selling Security-holders.  The  shares  of  Common Stock  held  by  the  Selling
Security-holders  may be sold  commencing eighteen (18) months  from the date of
this Prospectus,  subject to  earlier  release at  the  sole discretion  of  the
Representative, and such securities include a legend with such restrictions. The
Representative  may release the securities  held by the Selling Security-holders
at any time after all securities subject to the Over-allotment Option have  been
sold  or such option  has expired. The  resale of the  securities of the Selling
Security-holders are subject  to Prospectus delivery  and other requirements  of
the  Securities  Act  of 1933,  as  amended.  Sales of  such  securities  in the
Over-allotment Option  and  the early  release  of the  Selling  Security-holder
shares,   which  has  occurred   in  previous  offerings   underwritten  by  the
Representative, or the potential of such sales  at any time may have an  adverse
effect  on  the market  prices of  the securities  offered hereby.  See "Certain
Transactions," "Selling Security-holders" and "Underwriting."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
    After deducting underwriting discounts of $668,000 and other expenses of the
offering estimated to be $875,000, assuming an offering price of $5.00 per share
of Common Stock  and $.15  per Class  A Warrant,  the Company  will receive  net
proceeds   from  the  offering  of  approximately  $5,137,000.  These  proceeds,
excluding the exercise of any of the Class A Warrants, will be utilized in order
of priority  by  the  Company  as  listed  below  for  approximately  12  months
substantially as follows:

- ------------------------
(1) The  officers and employees of the Company intend to receive remuneration as
    part  of  an  overall  group  insurance  plan  providing  health,  life  and
    disability  insurance  benefits for  employees  of the  Company.  The amount
    allocable to each individual officer and employee cannot be specifically  or
    precisely  ascertained, but, in any event, will not exceed $25,000 per annum
    as to each individual. See "Management -- Remuneration."
 
(2) Includes annual general and  administrative employee salaries, exclusive  of
    management   salaries,   associated  benefits,   related  office   rent  and
    miscellaneous office expenses.
 
(3) Includes annual salaries for technical support personnel.
 
(4) The Company  intends to  purchase and/or  lease certain  additional  capital
    equipment including, but not limited to, computer hardware/software products
    and systems, communication systems, security systems and furniture.
 
(5) The  amount  allocated  by  the Company  for  marketing  and  sales includes
    marketing  materials,  advertising,  business   travel  and  a   significant
    expansion of its marketing and sales staff.
 
(6) Working  capital will be utilized by  the Company to enhance and, otherwise,
    stabilize cash flow during the initial 12 months of operations following the
    closing of  this  offering,  such  that  any  shortfalls  between  operating
    revenues  and costs will be covered by working capital. Although the Company
    prefers to  retain  its working  capital  in  reserve, the  Company  may  be
    required  to  expend part  or  all of  these  proceeds as  financial demands
    dictate.
 
(7) Following the closing of this offering,  the Company intends to engage in  a
    mergers  and  acquisitions  campaign  in  order  to  merge  with  or acquire
    complementary companies. The Company has  not entered into any  negotiations
    to  merge with  or acquire  any such target  companies, but  the Company has
    identified several such companies engaged  in a complementary business.  The
    Company can make no assurances that it will be able to merge with or acquire
    any  companies. Although the Company intends  to utilize up to approximately
    $500,000 in its  mergers and  acquisitions activities during  the 12  months
    following  the date of this Prospectus, no  assurances can be made that such
    funds will  enable the  Company to  expand its  base or  realize  profitable
    consolidated  operations. The ability of the  Company to engage in a mergers
    and acquisitions campaign in view  of the Company's resources is  uncertain.
    Should   such  funds  not  be  utilized  in  its  mergers  and  acquisitions
    activities, the Company  intends to utilize  the funds in  equal amounts  in
    capital equipment and marketing and sales.
 
(8) The  Company was  established in 1988  as a division  of Advanced Technology
    Systems Inc.  ("ATS"),  a  McLean,  Virginia  based  information  technology
    products  and services company, which is principally owned and controlled by
    Delmar  J.   Lewis,   the   chairman   of  the   board   and   a   principal
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
    stockholder  of the  Company. The  Company was  incorporated in  Delaware on
    September 16, 1994  and acquired all  rights, title and  interest in the  VR
    products  and systems from ATS for a  purchase price of $1,520,590, of which
    $500,000 was forgiven by ATS in October 1995. Since the acquisition, ATS has
    provided the Company with working capital  financing under a line of  credit
    agreement. As of December 31, 1995, the Company owed $1,127,328 to ATS under
    this  line  of credit.  Of this  amount,  $500,000 is  payable from  the net
    proceeds of this offering.
 
   
    Although it is uncertain whether the  Company's shares of Common Stock  will
rise  to a level at which the Class  A Warrants would be exercised, in the event
subscribers in  this offering  elect to  exercise all  of the  Class A  Warrants
offered  herein (not including  the Underwriters' Purchase  Option), the Company
will realize gross proceeds of approximately $6,600,000. Management  anticipates
that the proceeds from the exercise of the Class A Warrants would be contributed
to  working capital of the Company. Nonetheless,  the Company may at the time of
exercise allocate a  portion of the  proceeds to any  other corporate  purposes.
Accordingly,  investors who exercise  their Class A  Warrants will entrust their
funds to management, whose specific intentions  regarding the use of such  funds
are not presently and specifically known.
    
 
    The  amounts set forth in  the use of proceeds  merely indicate the proposed
use of  proceeds, and  actual  expenditures may  vary substantially  from  these
estimates  depending upon  economic conditions and  the success, if  any, of the
Company's proposed business. The Company is unable to predict the precise period
for which this  offering will  provide financing,  although management  believes
that  the  Company  should have  sufficient  working  capital to  meet  its cash
requirements for  approximately 12  months  from the  date of  this  Prospectus.
Accordingly,  the Company  may need  to seek  additional funds  through loans or
other financing arrangements during  this period of  time. No such  arrangements
exist  or are currently contemplated and there can be no assurance that they may
be obtained in the future should the need arise.
 
    Pending utilization, management intends to make temporary investment of  the
proceeds  in bank  certificates of  deposit, interest-bearing  savings accounts,
prime commercial paper or federal government securities.

                                    DILUTION
 
    As of March 31, 1996, the Company  had a net tangible book value  deficiency
of  $(933,830) or $(.24) per share, derived  from the Company's balance sheet as
of March 31,  1996, adjusted  to give  effect to  the April  1996 conversion  of
$250,000  of convertible notes payable in  exchange for 750,000 shares of common
stock and  the May  1996 retirement  of  $1,000,000 in  notes payable  from  the
issuance  of 200,000 shares of common  stock and using common shares outstanding
prior to the  offering. Net  tangible book value  per share  means the  tangible
assets  of the Company, less all liabilities, divided by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding prior to the offering. After giving effect to the  sale
of  the shares  offered hereby  at an  assumed price  of $5.00  per share, after
deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, pro forma  net
tangible  book value would  have been $4,203,170  or $.80 per  share. The result
will be an  immediate increase in  net tangible  book value per  share of  $1.04
(433%)  to existing shareholders  and an immediate dilution  to new investors of
$4.20 (84%) per share. As a result, public investors will bear most of the  risk
of loss since their shares are being purchased at a cost substantially above the
price that existing shareholders acquired their shares. "Dilution" is determined
by  subtracting net tangible  book value per  share after the  offering from the
offering price  to  investors. The  following  table illustrates  this  dilution
assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option:

    Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as and
if declared by the Board of  Directors out of funds legally available  therefor.
The  Company does not anticipate the declaration  or payment of any dividends in
the foreseeable  future. The  Company intends  to retain  earnings, if  any,  to
finance  the development and  expansion of its  business. Future dividend policy
will be  subject  to the  discretion  of the  Board  of Directors  and  will  be
contingent  upon  future earnings,  if any,  the Company's  financial condition,
capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.  Therefore,
there  can be no assurance that  any dividends of any kind  will ever be paid by
the Company.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
GENERAL
 
    The Company  does  not anticipate  reporting  earnings for  the  year  ended
December  31, 1996 principally as a result  of the imputed costs attributable to
the conversion  feature  granted in  contemplation  of this  offering  of  three
convertible  notes  payable  in  March  1996  aggregating  $250,000  at  a price
substantially below  the  offering  price  of Common  Stock  in  this  offering.
Financing expense of $3,500,000 related to the issuance of the 750,000 shares of
common  stock upon conversion  in April 1996  will be accrued  during the period
from March 31,  1996, the origination  date of the  notes, and the  date of  the
offering  with a corresponding credit to paid in capital. Consequently, earnings
will be negatively impacted by this cost; however, net stockholders' equity will
not be impacted  as the  charge to  expense will  be offset  by a  corresponding
increase  in  paid  in  capital.  In addition,  there  will  be  no  cash outlay
associated with the  issuance of  such securities.  See "Certain  Transactions,"
"Selling Security-holders" and "Financial Statements."
 
    For  the year ended December 31,  1995, revenue derived from three customers
(E-OIR Measurements, Inc., U.S. Naval  Surface Warfare Center and Solidray  Co.,
Ltd.  (Japan)) amounted to approximately 11%,  16% and 10%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenue. For the year  ended December 31, 1994, revenue  derived
from  two customers (Division Limited, U.K.  and Media Systems GmbH) amounted to
approximately 30% and 25%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
 
    The  dependence  on  major  foreign   customers  subjects  the  Company   to
significant  financial risks  in the  operation of  its business  should a major
customer terminate, for any reason, its business relationship with the  Company.
Also,  because such  customers are  foreign, associated  operating and servicing
costs are higher placing a larger demand on the Company's limited resources.  In
such event, the financial condition of the Company may be adversely affected and
the Company may be required to obtain additional financing, of which there is no
assurance. See "Business" and "Financial Statements."
 
    The  following  discussion  and analysis  is  based upon  the  activities of
n-Vision, Inc. since November 1, 1994 and the activities of the VR business  and
products while it was operated as a division of ATS.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
 
    For  the  Quarter Ended  March  31, 1996,  the  Company reported  revenue of
$256,753 from the sale of 4 units of its VR products and systems, a 18% increase
compared to the  same period ending  March 31, 1995  where the Company  reported
revenue  of $218,302 on the sale of 4 units. The Company's gross margin on sales
increased to 62% in the first quarter of  1996 from 60% in the first quarter  of
1995.  The  increase in  sales  is attributable  to  the sale  of  higher priced
products in 1996. The gross margin was  comparable from period to period. As  of
March 31, 1996, the Company had a backlog of approximately $125,000.
 
    General  and Administrative costs decreased to $168,016 in the first quarter
of 1996 from $184,871  in the first quarter  1995. Marketing and sales  expenses
also  decreased to  $25,646 in  the same  period 1996  from $58,102  in the same
period 1995. Both decreases  were the result of  the Company's focus on  product
development  where costs  increased to $141,586  in the first  quarter 1996 from
$118,206 in the first quarter 1995.
 
    Interest and financing charges decreased in the three months ended March 31,
1996 to $44,032 from $48,135 in the  same period of 1995 due to the  forgiveness
of a $500,000 note payable in October 1995 owed by the Company to ATS.
 
    YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1994.
 
    For  the  year ending  December  31, 1995  the  Company reported  revenue of
$626,763 from  the sale  of 14  units  of its  VR products  and systems,  a  58%
decrease from the prior year where the Company
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
   
reported  revenue of $1,491,800 on the sale of 26 units. The decrease in revenue
was primarily attributable  to a  build-up in inventory  on the  shelves of  the
Company's overseas distributors resulting in fewer new sales to distributors and
an increase in the provision for products returned from distributors to $185,000
in  1995 from $28,500 in 1994. The  Company believes that the inventory build-up
was temporary and will not adversely affect revenue in the future.  Furthermore,
a  delay  in the  introduction  of the  Company's  new VR  products  and systems
offering additional features at  a reduced cost,  was partially responsible  for
the decrease in sales as the Company's customers delayed purchase of the current
products  in anticipation  of the  new products.  The Company's  gross margin on
sales decreased to 38%  in 1995 from 60%  in 1994 primarily as  a result of  the
returns  discussed  above.  Having  decreased  its  emphasis  on  sales  through
distributors in  favor of  direct marketing  to end-users,  management does  not
anticipate  significant  sales  returns in  the  future. In  addition,  with the
emphasis on direct  sales to  end-users, the  dependence on  major customers  is
significantly reduced, reducing the Company's financial risk in the operation of
its business.
    
 
    Operating Expenses increased from $742,047 in 1994 to $1,604,894 in 1995 due
to  an expansion  in the  operations of  the Company.  Product development costs
increased to $556,402, in 1995 from $248,594 in 1994 as a result of the  efforts
of  the Company to bring its new product lines to market. General administrative
costs increased to $829,085 in  1995 from $358,119 in  1994 in order to  support
the   expanding  operations  of  the  Company.  Also  included  in  general  and
administrative costs  in 1995  is a  charge for  the value  of donated  services
rendered  by  three Company  executives  who are  also  stockholders aggregating
$312,500. These services were valued  based upon the difference between  amounts
paid  to each  officer in  1995 and  the compensation  called for  in employment
agreements with each of these officers commencing in June 1996. The Company also
incurred an  $81,000 charge  associated with  a provision  for an  uncollectible
account  receivable in 1995.  This charge resulted from  the Company having sold
product in 1994 to a distributor which became financially distressed in 1995.
 
    Interest and financing expenses increased  to $151,316 in 1995 from  $27,318
in  1994 as a result of notes associated  with the spin-off of the Company and a
line of credit extended  to the Company from  Advanced Technology Systems,  Inc.
("ATS"),  a McLean, Virginia based  information Technology products and services
company, which  is principally  owned and  controlled by  Delmar J.  Lewis,  the
chairman of the board and a principal stockholder of the Company (see "Liquidity
and  Capital  Resources").  In addition,  in  early 1995,  the  Company incurred
$559,245 in offering  costs associated  with a proposed  offering of  securities
which  was not successful.  As a result,  those offering costs  were expensed in
1995.
 
    The Company's provision  for income taxes  for 1995 reflects  a tax  benefit
derived  primarily from  the refund  of taxes  paid in  1994 resulting  from the
carryback of a portion of the 1995 net operating loss.
 
    YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1993.
 
   
    For the year ending  December 31, 1994, the  Company reported a  significant
increase  in sales of its VR products and systems resulting in its first year of
profitability. Sales increased  to $1,491,800  as compared to  $262,223 for  the
year  ended December 31,  1993 for a  469% increase. The  sales increase was the
result  of  demand  for  the  Company's  VR  products  and  systems  from  newly
established  distributors in Germany,  Japan, and the United  Kingdom as well as
increased demand in  the domestic  market. During  the year  ended December  31,
1994,  the Company sold 26 units of its products versus three in the prior year.
The Company's gross margin  on sales remained constant  at approximately 60%  in
1994 and 1993.
    
 
    Operating  expenses increased  to $742,047 for  1994 from  $191,767 in 1993.
Such expenses  were  the result  of  increased  marketing of  the  Company's  VR
products   and   systems   internationally  and   an   increase   in  associated
administrative staff  needed to  support operations.  Product development  costs
decreased to $248,594 in 1994 from $375,212 in 1993 as a result of completion of
the development of
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
the  Datavisor  10xi.  As a  result  of  increased sales  and  decreased product
development costs, the Company's income from operations was $124,333 for 1994 as
compared to a loss from operations in 1993 of $407,078.
 
    Interest and financing expenses increased to $27,318 in 1994 as a result  of
a  line of credit extended to the  Company following its spin-off from ATS. (See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources.")
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    As of  March 31,  1996, the  Company  has a  working capital  deficiency  of
$1,045,300  and a stockholders' deficit of  $2,183,830. In addition, the Company
has used cash in operations since its inception and incurred a significant  loss
in  1995. Operations to date have been supported  by loans from ATS under a line
of credit agreement.  Management believes  the Company's  liquidity position  in
1996 will be adequate to sustain operations for the following reasons:
 
    -ATS  has agreed to not demand  repayment, if necessary, of amounts advanced
     to the Company under the line of credit until January 1, 1997.
 
    -In May 1996,  the Company  retired $1,000,000  of the  principal due  under
     notes  payable to ATS upon  the issuance to 200,000  shares of common stock
     thereby significantly reducing the Company's debt service requirements.
 
    -Certain officers subject  to employment agreements  which commence June  1,
     1996  have agreed to defer, as necessary, payment of compensation due under
     these agreements.
 
    -The Company has a $500,000 line of credit agreement with a bank  permitting
     advances  of  up  to 70%  of  outstanding eligible  accounts  receivable to
     finance working capital.
 
    -In March 1996, the Company received $250,000 from convertible notes payable
     described in Note E2.
 
    -Management believes  new products  brought  to market  in early  1996  will
     result in improved operating results and cash flows.
 
    For  the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company has principally
used cash in its operations. The principal  uses of cash in 1995 were  increases
in inventories needed for future production due to expansion of the business and
its  product offerings  and a  significant increase  in accounts  receivable was
experienced in 1994 associated  with increased sales volume  towards the end  of
1995.  The  Company's  sales  agreements  generally  provide  for  payment terms
requiring payment within 30 days of shipment. However, experience has shown that
payment is  at times  delayed to  90 days,  resulting in  the need  for  working
capital financing. However, in the event cash is needed to finance shortfalls of
cash generated from sales and costs, the Company will continue to borrow amounts
under  its line  of credit  with ATS and  its bank  line of  credit. However, no
assurances can be made that such lines of credit will be sufficient.
 
    The Company has a line of credit  with ATS of $1,000,000. ATS has agreed  to
fund  operations by lending  the Company amounts  over the limit  on the line of
credit. The Company had borrowed $1,071,023 against this line as of December 31,
1995 to meet its on-going cash flow  requirements. ATS has agreed not to  demand
repayment of interest and principal due on this loan until January 1, 1997. This
offering  will allow the Company to curtail  the line of credit by $500,000 with
the net proceeds  of this  offering as  well as  provide the  Company with  cash
reserves  to  finance its  operations  for the  12  months period  following the
closing of this offering.
 
    The Company also has  a bank line  of credit permitting  advances up to  the
lesser  of $500,000 or 70%  of eligible amounts receivable  and is guaranteed by
ATS.

    In connection with the acquisition of the virtual reality business from ATS,
the Company  also executed  a note  payable of  $500,000 which  was due  at  the
earlier  of November 1, 1995, or the date at which the Company receives at least
$1,000,000 in proceeds  from a private  or public offering  of securities.  This
note payable was forgiven in October 1995.
 
    The  Company's plans for expansion  of its product sales  include a need for
additional equipment to be used in  the assembly and quality control process  as
well  as equipment needed  for continued product  development. While the Company
has no firm  commitments at  the present time  for such  equipment, the  Company
anticipates  using a portion of  the proceeds estimated to  be $750,000 from the
offering for test equipment (E.G.,  oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and  video
generators), the purchase of a Silicon Graphics Onyx RE2 (a computer used in the
demonstration and development process which is currently leased by the Company),
electronic  design  software and  equipment  for expanded  production facilities
(E.G., custom production  fixtures and  work stations). In  addition, while  the
Company  has recently  introduced a number  of new  products, additional product
development expenditures  are  anticipated  to  upgrade  existing  products  and
develop  additional  products.  Such expenditures  in  1996 are  expected  to be
comparable with those incurred in 1995 which were approximately $550,000.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company is organized as a C Corporation and pays income taxes based upon
its accrual  based taxable  income adjusted  for differences  in the  timing  of
reporting certain expenses for tax and financial statement purposes.
 
    The Company's income taxes payable, if any, that may arise in the future may
be offset by credits available for certain research and development expenditures
incurred.
 
    As  of December 31, 1995, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward
available to offset future taxable income of approximately $450,000 available to
offset future taxable income generated through 2009. In the event of a change in
control of the Company, use of such carryforwards could be reduced.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
 
    The Company  does not  believe that  inflation has  had a  material  adverse
effect  on sales or income  during the past two  years. Increases in supplies or
other operating costs  may adversely affect  the Company's operations;  however,
the Company believes that it may increase prices to offset increases in costs of
goods sold or other operating costs.
 
SEASONALITY
 
    Based  on  its limited  experience to  date, the  Company believes  that its
future operating results will not be subject to seasonal changes. Such  effects,
should  they occur, may be apparent in  the Company's operating results during a
period of  expansion. However,  the  Company can  make  no assurances  that  its
business can be significantly expanded.

OVERVIEW
 
    n-Vision,  Inc.  ("Company"),  a  Delaware  corporation,  designs, develops,
manufactures and markets  state-of-the-art, proprietary  virtual reality  ("VR")
products  and  systems  for a  variety  of commercial,  industrial  and military
applications. (See Inside Cover Page and  Inside Back Page of this  Prospectus.)
The  Company currently  has developed  five principal  VR products  and systems:
Datavisor  VGA,  Datavisor  10m,  Datavisor  10x,  Datavisor  10XL  and  Virtual
Binoculars. The Company introduced the first commercially available head mounted
display  ("HMD") VR system  to achieve over one  million pixel (high resolution)
display  per  eye  in  monochrome  (black  and  white).  The  VR  or  artificial
environment  created  by  the  Company's  proprietary  VR  products  and systems
utilizes computer hardware and software, including operating systems, simulation
software, computer-aided design  ("CAD"), graphics applications,  computer-aided
software engineering tools, and database and knowledge base management tools and
systems. Commercial and industrial uses of the Company's VR products and systems
include,  but are not limited to,  medicine, simulation, training and education,
industrial design and  environmental, and  entertainment applications.  Military
uses include, but are not limited to, flight simulation and strategic simulation
and  planning. The Company's VR products and systems are marketed worldwide, but
principally to customers  in North America,  Europe and the  Pacific Rim,  E.G.,
U.S. Air Force, NASA Langley Research Center, Martin Marietta, Silicon Graphics,
Inc.,  UK  Defense  Research  Establishment  (Farnborough),  Volvo,  Volkswagon,
Diamler-Benz, Thomson CSF, KPMG Peat Marwick and Raytheon, among others, none of
which are presently  material to the  Company. For the  year ended December  31,
1995, revenue derived from three customers (E-OIR Measurements, Inc., U.S. Naval
Surface Warfare Center and Solidray Co., Ltd. (Japan)) amounted to approximately
11%,  16% and 10%,  respectively, of the  Company's total revenue.  For the year
ended December 31, 1994, revenue  derived from two customers (Division  Limited,
U.K.   and  Media  Systems   GmbH)  amounted  to   approximately  30%  and  25%,
respectively, of the Company's total revenue. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds of  this  offering  to  significantly expand  its  operations  and  the
development and marketing of its VR products and systems.
 
    The  Company was  established in 1988  as a division  of Advanced Technology
Systems Inc. ("ATS"), a McLean,  Virginia based information technology  products
and  services company,  which is principally  owned and controlled  by Delmar J.
Lewis, the chairman of the board and a principal stockholder of the Company. The
Company was incorporated  in Delaware  on September  16, 1994  and acquired  all
rights,  title  and interest  in  the VR  products and  systems  from ATS  for a
purchase price of $1,520,590,  of which $500,000 was  originally payable in  the
form of a note payable. However, the note payable was forgiven by ATS in October
1996.  The  balance of  $1,020,590 is  payable under  a promissory  note bearing
simple annual  interest  at the  rate  of  prime plus  1.375%  with  semi-annual
payments commencing in May 1996 extending through May 2001.
 
VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY
 
    Virtual reality is a new paradigm for interaction with computers that allows
persons to view and manipulate graphical representations of data in a completely
intuitive   manner.   Stimulating  the   senses  of   sight,  sound   and  touch
simultaneously, VR envelopes  the user in  dynamic, computer generated  imagery,
and  allows a  person to  interact using simple  controls and  body motions. For
certain tasks,  application of  VR interfaces  is believed  to flatten  learning
curves  and  increase  productivity.  Vision  is  our  dominant  sense  and thus
technologies related to display are key to achieving this sense of immersion. VR
products and  systems  typically employ  head  mounted displays  ("HMDs").  (See
Inside  Cover  Page and  Inside  Back Page  of  this Prospectus.)  These devices
combine high  resolution miniature  image  source monitors,  wide  field-of-view
optics  and motion tracking sensors in a unit  small and light enough to be worn
on the head. They  visually surround the wearer  with dynamic three  dimensional
imagery,  allowing a  person to change  perspective on the  artificial scenes by
simply moving the head. Similarly, VR products and systems attempt to model  the
sound  and feel of VR scenarios.  Digital signal processing techniques, combined
with motion tracking information, can accurately model positional sound  sources
in   the  virtual  environment  through   stereo  headphones.  Sensory  feedback
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
devices, built into  gloves and bodysuits,  affect a persons  sense of touch  as
they  interact with objects in the  environment. Most VR applications which rely
on a high-powered  computer, graphics  software and  a tracking  or other  input
device  -- which describes most of the "virtual" applications available today --
fit this description. For example, an  architectural VR program shows the  rooms
of  a building  in three  dimensions ("3-D"). By  moving the  mouse, joystick or
tracking device,  the user  can "walk"  through  the rooms  by pointing  in  the
direction  to move. If  the tracking device is  head-mounted, the application is
approaching the  immersive environment,  where  the user  is surrounded  by,  or
immersed in, the visual and audio aspects of the created environment.
 
    A virtual environment is created by a sophisticated and powerful combination
of  computer  hardware, software,  electronics  and input/output  devices. Thus,
early VR  development  was limited  to  users  with access  to  such  equipment,
primarily  the defense and space industries. As computer technology has advanced
and more powerful  systems have  become available  to the  average consumer,  VR
technology  has  expanded  dramatically.  The computing  hardware  for  which VR
applications have  been  designed ranges  from  desk-top personal  computers  to
supercomputers,  minicomputers and  mainframes. The  software includes operating
systems, simulation  software,  computer-aided  design  and  graphics  packages,
computer-aided  software engineering ("CASE") tools, database and knowledge base
management systems, and VR development tools. Specialized input devices such  as
data-gloves, voice recognition cards, and six degree of freedom position sensors
allow  intuitive means of interaction  in VR products and  systems. A VR product
and system may also  include one or  more of the  old standards in  input/output
("I/O") devices: a mouse, knob, joystick, modem, even a keyboard and printer.
 
    Immersive  displays  are  devices  which are  capable  of  presenting visual
information to the  user in stereo  across a large  instantaneous field and  are
thus  capable of driving the visual sense in an extremely realistic manner. They
typically  combine  miniature  computer  displays  with  precision  optics   and
apparatus  for tracking the motions of  the head. Though originally developed at
great cost for primarily military applications, wide-spread interest and reduced
cost for  key components  are  making the  technology  practical and  useful  in
medicine,   simulation,   training   and   education,   industrial   design  and
environmental, and  entertainment  applications for  commercial  benefit.  These
applications  may be  roughly divided into  two categories:  virtual reality and
telepresence.
 
    VR, as outlined above, is a combination of technologies that provides a  new
paradigm  for  interaction with  computers.  Using immersive  displays, advanced
computer graphics, spatial audio hardware  and specialized input devices, it  is
possible  to create an  artificial environment where the  user perceives and may
interact with generated objects in  an intuitive manner. These environments  may
be tailored to specific tasks and have been shown to flatten learning curves and
increase  productivity in a broad range of applications. Essentially all stimuli
in a  VR application  are  computer-generated. VR  concepts and  techniques  are
employed to convey images, sounds and tactile feedback to the user from a remote
location  in the world. Such an application projects the presence of the user to
the remote location, which may be as close as inside the body of the patient  on
the operating table or as far away as the bottom of the ocean.
 
PLAN OF OPERATIONS, MARKETS AND STRATEGY
 
    In  1990, the Company participated in the design and development of the Head
Mounted Display ("HMD") used in the  High Alpha Aircraft Cockpit Design  Program
at  NASA  Langley  Research  Center. The  Company  delivered  a state-of-the-art
electronics unit, in compliance with  NASA's demanding specifications. By  1991,
broad  general interest in VR  was quickly creating a  market for commercial HMD
technology. Encouraged by the growing trend and the success of the NASA project,
the Company immediately  undertook the  development of a  second generation  HMD
system  with a commercial  concept, the Datavisor 10m.  Completed in early 1992,
the new system  offered, at  reduced cost, performance  and features  previously
available  only in  high cost custom  military simulation helmets  like the NASA
system.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
    The Company's current VR  products and systems  include: the Datavisor  VGA,
Datavisor  10m, Datavisor 10x, Datavisor 10XL and Virtual Binocular. The Company
believes that the  Datavisor 10XL  is the  state-of-the-art HMD  product in  the
industry,  since it incorporates the  best available technology and performance.
For example,  it is  the only  commercially available  full color  HMD to  offer
1280x1024  resolution in  each eye.  The Datavisor  VGA is  a lower performance,
lower cost  product, capable  of  640x480 resolution.  The  Datavisor 10m  is  a
monochrome device capable of up to 1600x1200 resolution in each eye. The Virtual
Binoculars  are a handheld immersive display system that combine high resolution
CRTs and  wide  field-of-view  eyepieces in  the  familiar  form of  a  pair  of
binoculars.
 
    The  market for VR applications is limited only by the imagination. However,
the actual market  for VR technology  in the  near future is  more limited.  The
following  industries have been  identified by the  Company as potential markets
for its VR products and systems:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                    <C>
Aerospace              Government/Research
Architecture           Manufacturing
Automotive             Medical
Education              Mining
Entertainment          Petroleum Energy
Environmental          Pharmaceutical
Fashion                Telecommunications
Government/Civilian    Transportation
Government/Military    Utilities
</TABLE>
 
    Determining where current  markets are, and  what the potential  is for  the
future,  requires  discerning which  applications  and technologies  are  on the
drawing board, which are in production and which are at the dream stage. Most of
the VR applications  described in the  technical literature are  visions of  the
future,  which at best may be  on the drawing board or  have a proof of concept.
Very few are actually available in the consumer marketplace today.
 
    With millions of potential users of  VR applications and HMDs in the  United
States  alone, the Company  is focusing on  four market segments  which are most
likely to  use its  current  products in  conjunction  with existing  or  easily
developed applications, yet have a broad enough potential user base to expand as
the prices go down and new products become available:
 
    VR APPLICATIONS IN MEDICINE
 
    Three  segments  of the  medical field  in which  VR applications  have been
prototyped are  surgery (endoscopic,  laparoscopic and  microscopic),  radiology
(imaging and radiation oncology) and low vision enhancement.
 
    In the surgical arena, endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques are being used
in  a larger percentage  of operations each  year. The primary  advantage of the
endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques, also known as minimally invasive surgery
("MIS"), is the significant  reduction in pain,  discomfort, length of  hospital
stay  and recovery  time for  the patient.  New frontiers  are continually being
explored in this field, most recently  with endoscopic surgery performed from  a
distance  using a robot. However, the next generation of MIS techniques promises
to become the standard  only if surgeons can  become skilled in their  delivery,
and  overall costs  are viewed  as being  comparable to  those of  surgery using
traditional techniques. Two potential VR applications in MIS would significantly
improve the  odds of  reaching this  goal.  If HMDs  are incorporated  into  the
operating   room  equipment,  so  that  the   surgeon  can  view  the  operation
stereoscopically, the  learning  curve  would  be reduced,  as  would  the  time
required  during the procedure. As it is easier to learn by doing, and safer for
patients, virtual surgical simulation offers an alternative training method that
will better  prepare surgeons  in the  future. Immersive  simulation  technology
appears  to be the best approach for  creating the environment the surgeon needs
to  gain  the  necessary  experience  to  become  competent  in  these  evolving
techniques.
 
    Another potential use of HMDs for surgical procedures is in the microsurgery
arena.  The primary advantage of using  microscopic techniques is the ability to
perform operations with more likelihood of
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
success in areas that were previously inaccessible. Having both the 3-D and  the
magnification  capabilities that the HMDs could provide may significantly reduce
the time and fatigue involved in such procedures.
 
    In radiology, there are approximately  30,000 certified physicians, of  whom
approximately  3,000 are  radiation oncologists  who are  treating patients with
chemotherapy  and  radiation  using   radiation  therapy  machines.   Currently,
chemotherapy  and  radiation  treatments begin  by  employing  a two-dimensional
display of the tumor area and taking measurements to determine how to direct the
therapy. Frequently, healthy tissue is destroyed in the treatment process  along
with  the tumor. HMDs could  be put to immediate use  to provide 3-D displays to
facilitate targeting the tumor. There are approximately 1,000 magnetic resonance
imaging ("MRI") devices  currently in use,  primarily for diagnosis.  Assembling
the data from these and other diagnostic scans into 3-D images and superimposing
them  on an HMD could greatly improve the accuracy of chemotherapy and radiation
treatments. Such  an implementation  of  VR technology  could also  improve  the
results and reduce the risks of many other procedures, such as amniocentesis and
prenatal  surgery. The  initial market  would be  those facilities  with MRI and
radiation units,  with  potential  for  expansion  to  hospitals  with  surgical
facilities.
 
    Low-vision  enhancement is a  third potential medical  use of VR technology.
There are over 1.5 million low-vision  sufferers in the United States. A  number
of  chronic visual  impairments cannot  be corrected  with glasses,  contacts or
surgery. Since most sufferers of low vision experience losses in resolution  and
contrast  sensitivity,  an  HMD could  be  used  to help  them  see  better. The
near-term market is limited to the few facilities doing research on low  vision,
such as Johns Hopkins University.
 
    Although  the Company believes that its  VR products and systems have direct
application in the  medical field, none  of its products  and systems have  been
sold in this market segment.
 
    VR APPLICATIONS IN SIMULATION AND TRAINING
 
    Simulators  are used to  create an artificial environment  in which to teach
procedures that would be  too expensive or  dangerous to teach  in a real  world
situation.  Due to the high cost of aircraft equipment and the risk to personnel
in "practicing" for engine or other aircraft failures, or the avoidance of pilot
error, flight simulators were the first practical application of VR  technology.
Space   exploration  and  strategic  warfare   applications  soon  followed.  VR
technology  in  flight  simulators  is  now  an  integral  part  of  flight  and
spaceflight training.
 
    Another  large market is  the automobile drivers of  America: the 5+ million
people who get their learner's permit  or first driver's license each year,  the
3.2  million who are injured in an accident and the 1.6 million who are arrested
for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. All of these persons  could
receive  virtual experience in defensive driving and in the potential results of
driver error or driving under the influence. The initial target market would  be
the  students  (over  1.8  million  in 1992)  in  driver  education  programs in
secondary schools in the United States.
 
    Given forecast reductions in budgets for real world training operations, the
United  States  Government  is   strengthening  its  research  and   development
investment  in  advanced simulation  technology. The  eventual  goal is  to meet
Department  of  Defense  challenges  in  training  and  readiness,   operations,
acquisition  and test  and evaluation  with a  defense simulation infrastructure
based upon  a  common  interoperable  standard  protocol  that  allows  seamless
simulation  across  joint DoD  needs. Because  VR technology  is often  the most
realistic means  of  representing artificial  environments  to students,  it  is
playing a central role in the establishment of this training infrastructure. The
Company's  products are currently  being used in  military and civilian training
applications with potentially broad use, e.g.:
 
    -Dismounted infantry simulation (U.S. Army)
 
    -Artillery operation (U.S. Army, Spanish Army)
 
    -Ship Piloting Trainers (Japanese Ministry of Ship Transport)
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
    -Astronaut Training (NASA)
 
    -Mission Planning and Rehearsal (Cambridge Research, Inc.)
 
    Although the Company believes that its  VR products and systems have  direct
application  in the simulation and training  fields, only limited penetration of
this market segment has  occurred. Customers have included  the U.S. Air  Force,
NASA,  Martin  Marietta and  Raytheon,  among others,  none  of which  have been
material to the Company.
 
    VR APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN AND THE ENVIRONMENT
 
    There are commercial benefits available from VR applications in a number  of
different technical arenas. In an assembly modelling or mock-up application, the
goal  is to pull together major components  and sub-assemblies of a product in a
virtual space  and  also  to  prototype  assembly  procedures.  The  process  of
real-time   interaction   with   otherwise   unwieldy,   large   assemblies  can
significantly  reduce  costs  by  identifying  design  flaws  and   part-to-part
interaction  problems earlier in  the design process, resulting  in the need for
fewer  physical  prototypes.  Another  application  of  HMDs  in  assembly  line
processes would be to display patterns to show workers were to place material or
wires as a job progresses. Potential customers are those who manufacture complex
large-scale  products  with  many  subassemblies,  including  the  machine tool,
aerospace, automotive and ship building industries.
 
    Architectural  and   urban  design,   which   already  relied   heavily   on
computer-assisted  design ("CAD") capabilities, were a natural for early efforts
at VR applications. There is already commercially available software that allows
architects and clients  to walk-through  a computer-generated  three-dimensional
model  of planned structures before  construction begins. The accredited schools
of architecture in the U.S.  and Canada would be  the most likely customers  for
HMDs  and architectural VR applications, followed by the members of the American
Institute of Architects  ("AIA") and  any members of  the 17,000+  architectural
firms or solo practitioners who are not members of the AIA. All of the owners of
the  1.3 million  CAD software  packages on the  market would  also be potential
users of the VR walk-through applications.
 
    Image analysis workstations are designed to process image and data  streams,
enhancing  features of interest, and to present resulting information so that it
can be readily understood by the  viewer. Such technology could be  incorporated
into  a number of systems processing large quantities of data, such as satellite
and ocean survey data. Potential users are agencies and individuals ranging from
the military and intelligence services to search-and-rescue teams, surveyors and
weathermen.
 
    Nuclear plant monitoring and hazardous waste containment are two areas where
VR applications may  be utilized. Virtual  environment technologies are  already
being  used  in  the  design  and  management  of  waste  disposal  and  storage
facilities. VR applications combined with  robotics are being incorporated  into
the  operation of some toxic  waste sites. There are  1,191 toxic waste dumps on
the  Superfund  National  Priorities  List  that  are  potential  users  of   VR
technologies  to help protect both the  environment and workers. VR technologies
also have  applications  in  this  arena,  particularly  in  monitoring  nuclear
facilities  and  underground storage  tanks. There  are 1.6  million underground
storage tanks  at 600,000  sites that  are subject  to Environmental  Protection
Agency  regulations. By 1998, a cost-effective inspection process is required to
be implemented for ensuring that these sites are not hazards.
 
    Although the Company believes that its  VR products and systems have  direct
application  in  the industrial  design and  environmental fields,  only limited
penetration of this market segment has occurred. Customers have included  Volvo,
Volkswagon,  Diamler-Benz and Thomson CSF, among others, none of which have been
material to the Company.

    VR APPLICATIONS IN ENTERTAINMENT
 
    The entertainment field is by far  the largest potential market segment  for
VR   applications.  It  includes  amusement   and  theme  parks,  location-based
entertainment  centers,  sports,  video  arcades  and  home  entertainment.  The
potential  market  for VR  entertainment  packages is  substantially  the entire
population of the United States.
 
    Amusement and theme  parks are  a target  of developed  VR technology,  with
Disney  leading the way. Most of  them already offer simulation-style rides. The
difference is that the user does not get  to control the experience, as in a  VR
application.  Now that Disney World has installed two virtual reality systems at
its nightclub complex,  the other  parks may  soon follow  the industry  giant's
lead.
 
    A  location-based  entertainment ("LBE")  center  typically has  one central
theme,  such  as  a  starship  or  a  fighter  squadron  ready  room,  reflected
consistently  throughout the entire environment. There may be different games or
experiences available, but they all fit  the common theme. These operations  are
targeted  at a different  demographic group than video  arcades, usually the 60+
million young adults ranging in age from 18 to 35, with a significant disposable
income.
 
    In the $4 billion per year sports industry, a number of VR applications have
already been developed, ranging from a virtual batters' cage to a semi-immersive
bobsled simulator. As LBE centers flourish, some will certainly be dedicated  to
sports  themes. Virtual  interfaces for  exercise devices  could provide virtual
vacations during  exercise  sessions, from  bicycle  tours  of the  Rhine  on  a
stationary  bicycle to  mountain climbing in  the Rockies  on the stair-climbing
machine.
 
    There are more video arcades and  billiard parlors introduced in the  United
States  each year than in any other  country. While video arcades appeal more to
the younger age group,  billiard parlors are designed  to appeal to the  upscale
older  age  group.  VR  applications  in these  areas  have  only  recently been
introduced and are  being widely  received. The 35+  million home  entertainment
systems in the United States are also a significant market.
 
    Although  the Company believes that its  VR products and systems have direct
application in the entertainment  field, none of its  products and systems  have
been sold in this market segment.
 
VIRTUAL REALITY PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS
 
    The  Company  has  designed  and developed  five  commercially  available VR
products  and  systems   designed  to  exploit   the  capabilities  of   today's
high-performance  graphics workstations  and simulation hardware  to the fullest
extent possible with current technology:
 
    -DATAVISOR 10M High Resolution Monochrome HMD VR Systems
 
    -DATAVISOR 10X Very High Resolution Color HMD VR Systems
 
    -DATAVISOR VGA High Resolution Color HMD VR Systems
 
    -DATAVISOR 10XL Very High Resolution Color HMD VR Systems
 
    -VIRTUAL BINOCULARS
 
    The DATAVISOR 10M is a high  resolution monochrome (black and white) HMD  VR
system with a wide field of view. The Datavisor 10m combines one inch monochrome
video image sources which deliver high brightness, high contrast images of up to
1280 x 1024 pixels at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. It is fully shielded to dissipate
heat  and eliminate  electronic interference.  The Datavisor  10m uses precision
lenses in a wide  angle design to  relay the video image  from the image  source
units to the eyes. The output of each assembly is an infinity focused exit pupil
12mm  in diameter  with a  field of view  of 50  degrees, resolution  of two arc
minutes per pixel, and brightness of up to 25 foot-Lamberts. The plastic housing
of the unit is  adjustable to comfortably  fit a range of  users and weighs  3.5
lbs.   Knobs  on  the  side   of  the  helmet  allow   for  easy  adjustment  of
inter-pupillary distance and  overlap position. The  video control unit  ("VCU")
relays  two channels of video information to  the color image sources in the HMD
through 10-foot high mobility cables. The unit is digitally programmable through
a standard
 
                                       30

interface allowing  display  parameters,  video  format  select  and  diagnostic
functions  to  be controlled  by the  person  wearing the  display VIA  the user
application. The user controllable display parameters include brightness of  the
image,  contrast of the image, location of the  center point of the image on the
video and  size  of  the  image  measured  vertically  in  displayed  lines  and
horizontally  by pixels. The VCU is available as  a 13" x 5.25" tabletop unit or
in a 19-inch  rack-mounted configuration. The  Datavisor 10m is  offered by  the
Company as a lower cost, lower performance alternative to the Datavisor 10x. The
Datavisor  10m incorporates  its own computer  hardware and  software, and comes
fully assembled and ready to operate. Depending on the precise configuration and
volume, the Company offers the Datavisor 10m at a price of approximately $60,000
per unit, which includes a one year warranty and technical service, support  and
training.
 
    The  DATAVISOR 10X is a very high resolution color HMD VR system with a wide
field of view. (See Inside Cover Page and Inside Back Page of this  Prospectus.)
Employing advanced optical, electronic and display components, it is designed to
exploit  the capabilities of today's  high performance graphics workstations and
simulation hardware to the fullest extent possible with current technology.  The
HMD  combines miniature  full color  image sources  and precision  optical relay
assemblies in  a  lightweight  plastic  housing  to  form  a  fully  integrated,
head-mounted,  stereo display  unit. At the  heart of  the system are  a pair of
miniature video displays  fitted with Tektronix  NuColor liquid crystal  shutter
devices.  The shutters  are electronically  switchable light  filters that allow
only one color of light to pass  at any instant. Synchronizing the shutter  with
the  miniature video, red,  green and blue  components of each  full color video
frame are displayed in a rapid sequence to produce full color images inside  the
HMD.  They are balanced at ear  level on each side of  the head and are mu-metal
shielded to eliminate electronic interference. The optical system uses precision
lenses in a wide  angle design to  relay the video image  from the image  source
units to the eyes. The output of each assembly is an infinity focused exit pupil
12mm  in diameter  with a  field of view  of 50  degrees, resolution  of two arc
minutes per pixel, and brightness of up to 25 foot-Lamberts. The plastic housing
of the unit is  adjustable to comfortably  fit a range of  users and weighs  3.5
lbs.   Knobs  on  the  sides  of  the   helmet  allow  for  easy  adjustment  of
inter-pupillary distance and overlap  position. The VCU  relays two channels  of
video  information  to the  color  image sources  in  the HMD  through  10' high
mobility cables. The unit is digitally programmable through a standard interface
allowing display parameters, video format select and diagnostic functions to  be
controlled  by the person wearing the display  VIA the user application. The VCU
is available as a 13" x 12" x 5.25"  tabletop unit or in a 19 inch rack  mounted
configuration.  Optional  equipment  includes  position  sensors,  headphones, a
microphone and a  pneumatic bladder  fitting system  for operating  environments
where shocks and rapid motion are encountered. Mounting points for these devices
are  molded into the housing. The Datavisor 10x is offered by the Company as the
ultimate  very  high  resolution  color   HMD  VR  system  and  represents   the
state-of-the-art  of  the technology.  The  Datavisor 10x  incorporates  its own
computer hardware and software, and comes fully assembled and ready to  operate.
Depending  on  the  precise configuration  and  volume, the  Company  offers the
Datavisor 10x at a price of approximately $35,000 per unit, which includes a one
year warranty and technical service, support and training.
 
    The DATAVISOR  VGA and  DATAVISOR  10XL systems  employ the  same  precision
optics  and lightweight plastic  mechanical system but  offer distinct levels of
display performance. Traditionally,  VR displays have  relied on  off-the-shelf,
refractive  eyepieces to  present LCD  or CRT  image sources  to the  eye. While
simple and cost  effective, these  systems tend to  introduce distortion,  field
curvature  and chromatic  aberrations that can,  with frequent  or extended use,
lead to  undesirable physiological  effects such  as eye  strain and  headaches.
Datavisor  VGA head  mounted displays  employ reflective  collimated windows and
corrective  relay  lenses  to   achieve  optical  tolerances  within   standards
established   by  the  U.S.  Air  Force  Armstrong  Aerospace  Medical  Research
Laboratory for head mounted displays in extended use applications.
 
    The Datavisor VGA system is arranged mechanically with the image sources and
corrective relay optics balanced  on each side  of the head  at ear level.  This
places  the system center of gravity within one centimeter of the head's natural
center  of   gravity  and   keeps   the  moment   of   inertia  close   to   the
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
head.  The system does not rely on counterweights or dangling cables to maintain
balance. All  optical  and  electronic  components  are  housed  in  a  durable,
lightweight,  moulded shell that incorporates  mounting positions for headphones
and tracking sensors. Input and output to the  HMD is routed to the rear of  the
device  along the centerline of the head.  The head fitting system is adjustable
for diameter and depth with a pair of  ratchets located on the front and top  of
the unit.
 
    The  Datavisor VGA  and Datavisor  10XL are  the first  commercial immersive
displays to incorporate a calibrated focus adjustment, giving users the  ability
to  control how far away the virtual environment appears inside the display. The
adjustment is located on the bottom of the unit near the ear and is designed  to
be easily manipulated while the unit is in use. Calibrations range from infinity
to one meter. The Datavisor VGA display system is comprised of two one inch CRTs
and a tabletop video control unit. Each channel accepts a standard VGA signal as
input, making it compatible with virtually all PCs and workstations.
 
    The Datavisor 10XL uses the proven Datavisor 10x Video Control Unit ("VCU").
This  VCU will accept  any field sequential format  from 1280x1024 interlaced to
640x480  non-interlaced.  The  design  of  the  system  lends  itself  to   many
capabilities  beyond  the reach  of  traditional virtual  reality  displays. The
collimated window optics  allow an  undistorted optical  path to  the eye.  This
allows  the system to be configured for see-through applications by changing the
fully opaque mirror in  front of the  eyes to a  partially transparent one.  For
installations  that use retinal  tracking, miniature cameras  are easily mounted
inside the unit without  consuming eye-relief. For  customers focused on  flight
simulation,  the Datavisor VGA display system is also available in flight helmet
configuration with an  integrated communications system.  The Datavisor VGA  and
the  Datavisor 10XL  incorporate their own  computer hardware  and software, and
come  fully  assembled  and   ready  to  operate.   Depending  on  the   precise
configuration  and volume,  the Company offers  the Datavisor  VGA and Datavisor
10XL systems in  a price  range of approximately  $25,000 to  $50,000 per  unit,
which includes a one year warranty and technical service, support and training.
 
    The  VIRTUAL BINOCULARS product  has recently been  developed by the Company
and is  one of  the  first binoculars  developed  utilizing VR  technology.  The
Virtual Binoculars may be fitted with range eyepieces with varying field of view
properties. Standard eyepieces provide 40 degrees, 50 degrees and 63 degrees per
eye.   The  Virtual  Binoculars  are  available   with  two  levels  of  display
performance. When use with the cost effective Datavisor VGA display system,  the
VCU  takes a standard VGA  input and provides a  crisp 640x480 display. With the
Datavisor 10x display system, the unit has multisync capability and can  display
resolutions from 640x480 up to 1280x1024.
 
    The  VIRTUAL BINOCULARS product has been designed with support for a variety
of tracking systems. Magnetic, mechanical, optical, ultrasonic or radio  schemes
can be used. Internal mounting points can be used for magnetic or radio sensors.
External  mounting points  provide a  platform for  sensors that  may be readily
removed or require  a line of  sight to a  source. External points  can also  be
tapped to accept adaptors that will make the displays compatible with mechanical
3D  digitizers  or virtually  any mechanical  tracking system.  Other mechanical
features include  focus  adjustment,  interpupillary  distance  adjustment,  and
mouse-compatible  buttons on the top of the  unit. The buttons can be programmed
using any  software toolkit  that supports  mouse gestures  and can  be used  to
control motion in the virtual environment or manipulate objects.
 
    The  Virtual  Binoculars  can be  adapted  on  a custom  basis,  to simulate
practically any binocular or monocular  optical instrument. The system has  been
successfully used to simulate field periscopes, riflescopes, spotting scopes and
a  number of  vehicle mounted sighting  systems. The  Virtual Binoculars product
incorporates its own computer hardware  and software, and comes fully  assembled
and  ready to  operate. Depending on  the precise configuration  and volume, the
Company offers the Virtual  Binoculars at a price  of approximately $15,000  per
unit,  which includes  a one  year warranty  and technical  service, support and
training.

MANUFACTURING, PRODUCTION AND SERVICE
 
    The Company manufactures and  assembles its VR products  and systems at  its
principal  facility located  at 7680 Old  Springhouse Road,  First Floor, McLean
Virginia 22102,  encompassing approximately  4,800  square feet.  The  Company's
manufacturing  operations  consist  of assembly,  testing,  quality  control and
system integration of its  VR product and  system components, subassemblies  and
final  assemblies, including modifications  and the programming  of the software
components, and  installation of  the  VR products  and systems.  The  Company's
manufacturing  operations utilize  a wide  variety of  electrical and mechanical
components, new  materials and  other  supplies and  services. The  Company  has
developed  multiple commercial sources for most components and materials, but it
does use single sources for a limited number of standard and custom  components.
While  delays in delivery  of such single-sourced components  may cause delay in
shipments of certain products by  the Company at this  time, the Company has  no
reason  to believe that  any of the single-source  vendors present a significant
risk. Certain  components  used  by  the Company,  including  lenses  and  video
components  must  be ordered  up  to four  months  in advance  to  assure timely
delivery. The  Company  maintains  an  inventory of  these  items  as  it  deems
appropriate to service forecasted demand.
 
    The  Company  provides two  levels of  service for  its products:  The basic
one-year warranty on all VR products and systems covers repair or replacement of
the product  or system,  or any  parts or  assemblies, for  any failure  due  to
defects  in materials or workmanship. The warranty does not cover failure of any
product or system which has been  modified without the Company's consent or  any
failure due to improper handling, misuse, abuse or misapplications.
 
    In  February 1995, the  Company entered into  an exclusive joint development
and supply agreement with Vivitek Co., Ltd. ("Vivitek"), a Taiwan based advanced
technology company  involved in  the design,  development and  manufacturing  of
highly   advanced  display  products  based  on  liquid  crystal  color  shutter
technologies. The  agreement provides,  among other  things, that  Vivitek  will
develop,  manufacture and supply the Company, on an exclusive basis, its shutter
technology that  will be  used in  the Company's  VR products  and systems.  The
Company  believes that Vivitek's shutter  technology is state-of-the-art and may
provide the  Company's  VR  products  and  systems  with  certain  technological
advantages.  However, the  Company can  make no  assurances that  any of  its VR
products and systems will  have a technological or  economic advantage over  any
competitor's  VR  products and  systems. Dr.  Mao-Jin Chern,  a director  of the
Company, has been the general manager of Vivitek since 1993.
 
    Given the high cost  of downtime, it is  imperative that any malfunction  in
one  of the Company's VR products or  systems, regardless of cause, be addressed
in the shortest possible time. The Company has technical personnel available  12
hours  a day and, following  the closing of this offering,  intends to have a 24
hour a day "hot  line" for service support.  The Company's service  organization
consists  of technicians and  engineers reporting to  a customer service manager
who  is  intimately  familiar  with  the  Company's  VR  products  and  systems.
Additionally,  the  Company  intends  to make  arrangements  with  its component
suppliers whereby they may agree to provide technical service specialists within
24 hours  should the  need arise.  Such calls  will be  coordinated through  the
Company's   service  manager  who  will  be  assisted  by  a  full-time  service
administrator.
 
    The Company's  service personnel  have their  formal training  augmented  by
direct  participation in testing of the Company's VR products and systems at the
Company's manufacturing facility  and also  in the  installation and  acceptance
tests at the customer's facility.
 
MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY
 
    The  Company's marketing and sales strategy has relied almost exclusively on
presentations and demonstrations at VR product trade shows and follow-up on  the
leads  obtained. Following the closing of  this offering, the Company intends to
significantly expand its marketing and sales  staff and efforts. In addition  to
increasing  the number  of such  presentations and  demonstrations, the Company,
with its expanded marketing and sales force, also intends to pursue arrangements
with distributors and value added resellers  ("VARs"), who will also market  and
sell  the Company's VR products and systems. The first step to such an expansion
is  the  development   and  production  of   marketing  and  sales   literature.
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
Two  parallel activities  will be identification  of shows  and conferences that
would be attended by  distributors, VARs and potential  customers in the  target
niche  markets and the categorization of incoming contacts to identify potential
customers, especially in the target niche markets.
 
    The Company has developed  a two-pronged strategy  to increase sales:  using
distributors  in the international market and VARs  in the United States. At the
same time, the Company  intends to increase direct  sales with the expansion  of
the  marketing activities at industry trade  shows and conferences, as described
above.  The  Company  has   recently  entered  into  non-exclusive   distributor
agreements in the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. The strategy for increasing
sales in the European Union ("EU") and the Pacific Rim is to increase the number
of  distributors in  the EU  and in  the Pacific  Rim. Accordingly,  the Company
intends to enter  into agreements with  VARs and distributors  that are  already
active  in the  VR products and  systems marketplace. In  addition to increasing
direct sales  with VARs  and distributors,  the Company  intends to  expand  its
federal  government sales  by placing  its products  on the  appropriate General
Service Administration ("GSA") schedules. The  Company also intends to  increase
its  direct  sales by  promoting  its VR  products  and systems  in publications
covering high-technology  industries, E.G.,  SILICON GRAPHICS  WORLD, REAL  TIME
GRAPHICS, GOVERNMENT IMAGING, VIRTUAL REALITY NEWS and VR NEWS. The Company also
intends  to prepare and distribute press kits at such events to garner editorial
coverage of  its VR  products and  systems.  However, the  Company can  make  no
assurances that its marketing and sales strategy will result in any sales of its
VR products and systems.
 
    The  dependence  on  major  customers subjects  the  Company  to significant
financial risks  in  the operation  of  its  business should  a  major  customer
terminate,  for any reason, its business  relationship with the Company. In such
event, the financial condition of the Company may be adversely affected and  the
Company  may be required  to obtain additional  financing, of which  there is no
assurance. See "Financial Statements."
 
PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
 
    The Company  currently does  not  have any  patent, trademark  or  copyright
applications  pending.  However,  the  Company may  file  patent,  trademark and
copyright applications  relating  to  certain  of  the  Company's  products.  If
patents,  registered trademarks or copyrights were to be issued, there can be no
assurance as to the extent of the protection that will be granted to the Company
as a result of having such patents, trademarks or copyrights or that the Company
will be able  to afford  the expenses  of any  complex litigation  which may  be
necessary  to enforce its proprietary rights.  Failure of the Company's proposed
patents, trademark and copyright applications may have a material adverse impact
on the Company's business. Except  as may be required  by the filing of  patent,
trademark and copyright applications, the Company will attempt to keep all other
proprietary  information secret and to take such  actions as may be necessary to
insure the  results of  its development  activities are  not disclosed  and  are
protected under the common law concerning trade secrets. Such steps will include
the  execution of nondisclosure agreements by key Company personnel and may also
include the imposition of restrictive agreements on purchasers of the  Company's
products  and  services.  There  is  no assurance  that  the  execution  of such
agreements will be effective  to protect the Company,  that the Company will  be
able  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  such  nondisclosure  agreements  or that
technology and  other  information  acquired  by the  Company  pursuant  to  its
development  activities will be deemed to  constitute trade secrets by any court
of competent jurisdiction.
 
COMPETITION
 
    The Company  is not  aware of  any other  company or  organization that  has
designed  and developed VR products and  systems as technologically advanced and
capable for  the price  as those  achieved  by the  Company, which  the  Company
believes  enables it  to effectively  compete in  the marketplace.  However, the
Company is aware  of several  competitors which promote  substitute and  similar
technologies.  Businesses  in  the  United  States  which  are  engaged  in  the
development  and  production  of  high  technology  products  and  systems   are
characterized  by  intense  and  substantial  competition.  Almost  all  of  the
companies with which the Company intends to compete are substantially larger and
have
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
substantially greater resources than the Company.  It is also likely that  other
competitors  will emerge in the future.  The Company will compete with companies
that have greater market recognition, greater resources and broader capabilities
than the Company. As a consequence, there is no assurance that the Company  will
be able to successfully compete in the marketplace.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    As  of the date of  this Prospectus, the Company  employs 11 persons, all of
whom are full-time employees. Of these full-time employees, three are engaged in
administration and finance, two in marketing and sales and six in operations and
software development. Within the initial 12 months following the closing of this
offering, the Company  intends to hire  approximately five additional  full-time
employees.
 
    The  Company believes that its future success will depend in large part upon
its  continued  ability  to  recruit  and  retain  highly  qualified   technical
personnel.  Competition for highly qualified technical personnel is significant,
particularly in the geographic area in which the Company is located. The Company
has never experienced a work stoppage  and none of its employees is  represented
by  a labor organization.  Management of the  Company considers its relationship
with its employees to be good.
 
FACILITIES
 
    The Company  leases  approximately  4,800  square  feet  for  its  principal
executive  offices and  facilities located at  7680 Old  Springhouse Road, First
Floor, McLean,  Virginia 22102,  under a  lease which  extends through  February
1997.  The Company intends to expand its offices and facilities to approximately
10,000 square feet in a single facility following the closing of this  offering.
The  Company's current  and proposed facilities  are in  good condition. Current
base rental for the premises is approximately $1,600 per month and will increase
to approximately  $5,000  per  month  upon the  expansion  of  its  offices  and
facilities  pursuant to an  option available to  the Company in  1997. The lease
requires the  Company to  pay  certain customary  property taxes  and  operating
expenses.

Mao-Jin Chern, Ph.D.              Director
</TABLE>
 
    Each  of the directors of the Company holds office for a one-year period. At
present, the Company's By-laws provide for  not less than one director nor  more
than  nine directors.  Currently, there are  five directors in  the Company. The
By-laws permit the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy, and such director may
serve until the next  annual meeting of shareholders  or until his successor  is
elected  and  qualified.  Officers  serve  at the  discretion  of  the  Board of
Directors. There are no family relationships among any officers or directors  of
the  Company, except  among Delmar  J. Lewis  and Christopher  J. Lewis  who are
father and son, respectively.  The officers of the  Company devote full time  to
the   business  of  the  Company,  except   for  Delmar  J.  Lewis  who  devotes
approximately 50  percent  of his  time  to the  business  of the  Company.  See
"Certain Transactions."
 
    In  April 1995, the Company amended its By-laws to require a staggered Board
of Directors, such that first class directors are elected for a three year term,
second class directors are elected for a two year term and third class directors
are elected for a one  year term. Messrs. Delmar J.  Lewis and Rumsey have  been
elected as first class directors, Messrs. Christopher J. Lewis and Hamilton have
been elected as second class directors and Dr. Chern has been elected as a third
class  director. The effect of the amendment is to strengthen the ability of the
current Board  of Directors  to maintain  a higher  degree of  control over  the
Company  than would otherwise be available. As  a result, the staggered Board of
Directors of the  Company will make  the possible takeover  of the Company  more
difficult at the expense of the stockholders.
 
    The  principal  occupation  and  business experience  for  each  officer and
director of the Company for at least the last five years are as follows:

    EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
    The Company  has  entered  into employment  agreements  ("Agreements")  with
Messrs.  Delmar J. Lewis,  Christopher J. Lewis and  Robert B. Hamilton, C.P.A.,
effective as of June 1, 1996. The Agreements with Delmar J. Lewis and Robert  B.
Hamilton  will expire on May  31, 1998. The Agreement  with Christopher J. Lewis
will expire  on May  31, 1999.  The Agreements  provide for  one-year  automatic
renewals  following  the expiration  date, unless  contrary  notice is  given by
either party. Messrs. Lewis,  Lewis and Hamilton  current annual salaries  under
the  Agreements  are $100,000  each. The  salaries under  the Agreements  may be
increased to reflect annual cost of living increases and may be supplemented  by
discretionary  merit and  performance increases  as determined  by the  Board of
Directors of the Company, except that during the first three years following the
effective date of the  registration statement with respect  to the offering,  no
executive's  salary may exceed  $200,000. Messrs. Lewis,  Lewis and Hamilton are
each entitled to an annual bonus of $50,000, $25,000 and $50,000,  respectively,
under their Agreements.
 
    The  Agreements  provide,  among  other  things,  for  participation  in  an
equitable manner  in any  profit-sharing  or retirement  plan for  employees  or
executives  and  for  participation  in other  employee  benefits  applicable to
employees and executives of the Company. The Agreements provide that the Company
will establish a performance incentive  bonus plan providing each executive  the
opportunity to earn an annual bonus of up to five percent of the increase in the
Company's operating profit, based upon the attainment of performance goals to be
established  by the  Board of Directors  of the Company.  The Agreements further
provide for the  use of an  automobile, payment  of club dues  and other  fringe
benefits  commensurate with  their duties  and responsibilities.  The Agreements
also provide for benefits in the event of disability.
 
    Under Christopher J. Lewis' Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase  a
life insurance policy in the face amount of $1,000,000. The Company will pay the
premium  under the life  insurance policy, and  a portion of  the payment may be
treated as taxable income to the insured executive. During the fiscal year,  the
Company will pay a premium of approximately $5,000 on the policy. Upon the death
of  Mr. Lewis, the Company  would be paid from  the insurance proceeds an amount
equal to  the  total premiums  it  paid under  the  policy, with  the  remaining
proceeds to be paid to the deceased executive's designated beneficiary.
 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
 
    The  Company's Certificate  of Incorporation and  By-laws contain provisions
which reduce the potential personal liability of directors for certain  monetary
damages and provide for indemnity of directors and other persons. The Company is
unaware  of any  pending or  threatened litigation  against the  Company, or its
directors, that would result in any liability for which such director would seek
indemnification or similar protection.
 
    Such indemnification  provisions are  intended  to increase  the  protection
provided  directors and,  thus, increase  the Company's  ability to  attract and
retain qualified persons  to serve  as directors.  Because directors'  liability
insurance  is only available at considerable cost  and with low dollar limits of
coverage and broad policy exclusions, the Company does not currently maintain  a
liability insurance policy for the benefit of its directors although the Company
may  attempt to acquire such insurance in  the future. The Company believes that
the substantial increase  in the number  of lawsuits being  threatened or  filed
against  corporations  and their  directors  and the  general  unavailability of
directors liability insurance to provide  protection against the increased  risk
of  personal liability resulting from such lawsuits have combined to result in a
growing reluctance on the part of capable persons to serve as members of  boards
of  directors of public companies. The  Company also believes that the increased
risk of  personal  liability  without  adequate  insurance  or  other  indemnity
protection  for its  directors could result  in overcautious  and less effective
direction and management of the Company. Although no directors have resigned  or
have  threatened  to resign  as a  result  of the  Company's failure  to provide
insurance or other indemnity protection from liability, it is uncertain  whether
the  Company's directors would continue to  serve in such capacities if improved
protection from liability were not provided.
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
    The provisions affecting  personal liability  do not  abrogate a  director's
fiduciary  duty  to the  Company and  its  shareholders, but  eliminate personal
liability for monetary damages for breach  of that duty. The provisions do  not,
however,  eliminate or limit the  liability of a director  for failing to act in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for authorizing the illegal  payment of a dividend  or repurchase of stock,  for
obtaining  an  improper personal  benefit, for  breaching  a director's  duty of
loyalty (which  is  generally  described  as  the duty  not  to  engage  in  any
transaction  which involves a  conflict between the interest  of the Company and
those of the  director) or for  violations of the  federal securities laws.  The
provisions  also  limit or  indemnify against  liability resulting  from grossly
negligent decisions including grossly  negligent business decisions relating  to
attempts to change control of the Company.
 
    The  provisions  regarding  indemnification provide,  in  essence,  that the
Company will  indemnify its  directors  against expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees),  judgments, fines and amounts paid  in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with  any action, suit or  proceeding arising out of  the
director's  status as a director of the Company, including actions brought by or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not
require a showing of good faith.  Moreover, they do not provide  indemnification
for  liability  arising out  of willful  misconduct,  fraud, or  dishonesty, for
"short-swing" profits violations under the  federal securities laws, or for  the
receipt   of  illegal   remuneration.  The   provisions  also   do  not  provide
indemnification for any  liability to the  extent such liability  is covered  by
insurance.  One purpose of the provisions is to supplement the coverage provided
by such insurance. However, as mentioned  above, the Company does not  currently
provide  such insurance  to its  directors, and there  is no  guarantee that the
Company will provide such insurance to its directors in the near future although
the Company may attempt to obtain such insurance.
 
    The provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might otherwise
be available to shareholders by limiting the liability of officers and directors
to  the  maximum  extent   allowable  under  Delaware   law  and  by   affording
indemnification  against most damages and settlement  amounts paid by a director
of the Company in connection  with any shareholders derivative action.  However,
the  provisions do not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder to
enjoin a director from  taking actions in  breach of his  fiduciary duty, or  to
cause  the Company  to rescind  actions already  taken, although  as a practical
matter courts may be unwilling to grant such equitable remedies in circumstances
in which such actions  have already been taken.  Also, because the Company  does
not  presently  have  directors' liability  insurance  and because  there  is no
assurance that the Company will procure such insurance or that if such insurance
is  procured  it  will  provide  coverage  to  the  extent  directors  would  be
indemnified under the provisions, the Company may be forced to bear a portion or
all  of  the  cost  of  any director's  claims  for  indemnification  under such
provisions. If the Company is forced to bear the costs for indemnification,  the
value  of the  Company stock may  be adversely  affected. In the  opinion of the
Securities and  Exchange  Commission, indemnification  for  liabilities  arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 is contrary to public policy and, therefore, is
unenforceable.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
    The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 16, 1994.
The Company has authorized  capital of 25,000,000 shares  of common stock,  $.01
par value. The Company currently has 3,950,000 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding. See "Principal Shareholders" and "Description of Securities."
 
    The  Company was  established in 1988  as a division  of Advanced Technology
Systems, Inc. ("ATS"), a McLean, Virginia based information technology  products
and  services company,  which is principally  owned and controlled  by Delmar J.
Lewis, the chairman of the board and a principal stockholder of the Company. The
Company was incorporated  in Delaware  on September  16, 1994  and acquired  all
rights,  title  and interest  in  the VR  products and  systems  from ATS  for a
purchase price of $1,520,590, of which $500,000, the premium paid in  connection
with  the acquisition,  was subsequently  forgiven by  ATS in  October 1995. The
purchase price represents the net expenses incurred by ATS while the Company was
a division of  ATS, plus a  premium of  $500,000. The balance  of $1,020,590  is
payable  under a promissory note  bearing simple annual interest  at the rate of
prime plus  1.375%,  with semi-annual  payments  commencing May  1996  extending
through  May 2001. However, in May 1996, the remaining balance of $1,000,000 due
under this promissory  note was retired  in exchange for  200,000 shares of  the
Company's common stock.
 
    In  November 1994 and March 1995, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of its
Common Stock, which includes  a 1.67:1 reverse  stock split in  May 1995, to  14
persons,  including certain  officers and directors  of the  Company, in private
placement transactions  for aggregate  consideration of  $661,655, or  $.28  per
share. See "Principal Stockholders" and "Legal Matters."
 
    During  the  years  ended  December  31, 1995  and  1994,  the  Company paid
approximately $85,000 and $94,000, respectively, to a consultant and stockholder
of the Company for services rendered.
 
    In March 1996,  the Company caused  a 1.38:1  stock split of  its shares  of
Common Stock resulting in 3,000,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
    In  March  1996,  the  Company borrowed  $250,000  from  three nonaffiliated
persons under  three  separate  8%  convertible  promissory  notes,  which  were
convertible  into a total  of 750,000 shares  of the Company's  Common Stock, at
$.33 per share, at the option of the noteholders.
 
    In April 1996, the three nonaffiliated noteholders under the 8%  convertible
promissory  notes elected to convert their notes at nominal cost into a total of
750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at $.33 per share, resulting in  a
then  total of 3,750,000 outstanding shares of  Common Stock of the Company. The
750,000 shares of Common  Stock are being registered  as part of this  offering.
See "Selling Security-holders."
 
    All unregistered securities issued by the Company prior to this offering are
deemed  "restricted securities"  within the meaning  of that term  as defined in
Rule 144 and have been issued pursuant to certain "private placement" exemptions
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules  and
regulations   as  promulgated   by  the  Securities   and  Exchange  Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20549. See "Description of Securities."
 
    The Company has a line of credit  with ATS of $1,000,000. ATS has agreed  to
fund  operations in 1996 utilizing  the $1,000,000 line of  credit in amounts in
excess of the limit on the credit. As of December 31, 1995 the Company  borrowed
$1,071,023  against this line to meet  its on-going cash flow requirements. This
offering  will  allow  the  Company  to  pay  the  outstanding  promissory  note
obligation of $500,000 with the net proceeds of this offering as well as provide
the  Company with  cash reserves  to finance  its operations  for the  12 months
period following the closing  of this offering. The  Company does not expect  to
exceed  the  $1,000,000  limit on  the  line  of credit  following  the $500,000
curtailment using the proceeds of the offering.
 
    In February 1995, the  Company entered into  an exclusive joint  development
and supply agreement with Vivitek Co., Ltd. ("Vivitek"), a Taiwan based advanced
technology company involved in the
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
design,  development and manufacturing of highly advanced display products based
on liquid  crystal color  shutter technologies.  The agreement  provides,  among
other  things, that Vivitek will develop, manufacture and supply the Company, on
an exclusive basis, its shutter technology that will be used in the Company's VR
products and systems. The Company believes that Vivitek's shutter technology  is
state-of-the-art  and may  provide the  Company's VR  products and  systems with
certain technological advantages.  However, the Company  can make no  assurances
that  any of its VR  products and systems will  have a technological or economic
advantage over any competitor's  VR products and systems.  Dr. Mao-Jin Chern,  a
director of the Company, has been the general manager of Vivitek since 1993.
 
    The  Company intends  to indemnify  its officers  and directors  to the full
extent permitted  by  Delaware  law.  Under  Delaware  law,  a  corporation  may
indemnify  its agents for expenses and amounts  paid in third party actions and,
upon court approval in derivative actions, if the agents acted in good faith and
with reasonable care. A majority vote of the Board of Directors, approval of the
shareholders or court approval is required to effectuate indemnification.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
of  1933,  as  amended,  may  be permitted  to  officers,  directors  or persons
controlling the Company, the  Company has been advised  that, in the opinion  of
the   Securities  and   Exchange  Commission,   Washington,  D.C.   20549,  such
indemnification is  against public  policy  as expressed  in  such 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  an officer,  director  or controlling  person  of the  Company  in the
successful defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by  such
officer,  director or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the 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 such Act and  will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
 
    Transactions with affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than may  be
obtained  from nonaffiliated parties and  will be approved by  a majority of the
independent and disinterested directors. Any  such transactions will be  subject
to  the approval of a  majority of the independent  and disinterested members of
the Board of Directors of the Company.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    The  Company is offering 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per share
and 1,200,000 Class A Warrants at $.15 per Class A Warrant. The shares of Common
Stock and Class  A Warrants will  be separately tradeable  immediately upon  the
effective  date  of this  offering and  may be  purchased separately  in varying
amounts.
 
    The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 shares of
Common  Stock,  $.01  par  value.  There  are  presently  3,950,000  issued  and
outstanding  shares of  Common Stock.  Holders of the  Common Stock  do not have
preemptive rights  to  purchase  additional  shares of  Common  Stock  or  other
subscription  rights. The Common  Stock carries no conversion  rights and is not
subject to redemption or  to any sinking fund  provisions. All shares of  Common
Stock  are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available
therefor when,  as  and  if  declared  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and,  upon
liquidation  or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, to
share equally  in  the assets  of  the  Company available  for  distribution  to
stockholders.  All outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable,  and all shares to  be sold and issued  as
contemplated  hereby,  will be  validly authorized  and  issued, fully  paid and
nonassessable. The Board of Directors  is authorized to issue additional  shares
of  Common  Stock,  not  to  exceed  the  amount  authorized  by  the  Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, and to issue options and warrants for the purchase
of such shares, on such terms and  conditions and for such consideration as  the
Board  may  deem  appropriate  without  further  stockholder  action.  The above
description concerning the Common  Stock of the Company  does not purport to  be
complete.  Reference is made  to the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation and
By-laws which are available for inspection  upon proper notice at the  Company's
offices,  as well as to  the applicable statutes of the  State of Delaware for a
more complete description concerning the rights and liabilities of stockholders.
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock of the
Company, and no predictions can be made of the effect, if any, that market sales
of shares or the availability of shares  for sale will have on the market  price
prevailing  from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of significant amounts of the
Common Stock of the Company in the public market may adversely affect prevailing
market prices, and  may impair the  Company's ability to  raise capital at  that
time through the sale of its equity securities.
 
    Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters
on  which such  stockholders are  entitled to vote.  Since the  shares of Common
Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50  percent
of  the shares voting for the election  of directors can elect all the directors
if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining  shares
will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.
 
CLASS A WARRANTS
 
    The  Company is offering 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per share
and 1,200,000 Class A Warrants at $.15 per Class A Warrant. The shares of Common
Stock and Class  A Warrants will  be separately tradeable  immediately upon  the
effective  date  of this  offering and  may be  purchased separately  in varying
amounts.
 
    The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the date
of this Prospectus ("Effective Date"). Each Class A Warrant entitles the  holder
to  purchase one share of  Common Stock at $5.50 per  share during the four year
period commencing one  year from the  Effective Date. The  Class A Warrants  are
redeemable  by the Company for $.05 per Warrant, at any time after             ,
1998, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average closing  price
or bid price of the Common Stock, as reported by the principal exchange on which
the  Common Stock is traded,  the Nasdaq National Market  System or the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, as the case may be, equals or exceeds $9.00  per
share,    for   any   twenty   (20)    consecutive   trading   days   within   a
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
period of  thirty  (30) days  ending  within ten  (10)  days of  the  notice  of
redemption.  Upon thirty (30) days' written notice to all holders of the Class A
Warrants, the Company shall have the  right to reduce the exercise price  and/or
extend the term of the Class A Warrants.
 
    The  Warrants  can  only be  exercised  when  there is  a  current effective
registration statement  covering  the  shares of  common  stock  underlying  the
Warrants.  If the Company does not or  is unable to maintain a current effective
registration statement  the  Warrant holders  will  be unable  to  exercise  the
Warrants  and  the Warrants  may become  valueless. Moreover,  if the  shares of
common stock underlying the Warrants are not registered or qualified for sale in
the state in which a Warrant holder resides, such holder might not be  permitted
to exercise the Warrants.
 
    The  Company  will deliver  Warrant certificates  to  the purchasers  of its
Warrants. Thereafter, Warrant certificates may be exchanged for new certificates
of different denominations, and  may be exercised  or transferred by  presenting
them  at the offices of the Transfer Agent. Holders of the Warrants may sell the
Warrants if a market exists rather than exercise them. However, there can be  no
assurance  that a market  will develop or  continue as to  such Warrants. If the
Company is unable to qualify its common stock underlying such Warrants for  sale
in  certain states, holders of the Company's  Warrants in those states will have
no choice but to either sell such Warrants or allow them to expire.
 
    Each Warrant may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant certificate,  with
the  form of election to purchase on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate
properly completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price  to
the  Warrant Agent. The Warrants may be exercised  in whole or from time to time
in part. If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant certificate are
exercised, a new Warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining number  of
Warrants.  Upon the exercise  of the Warrants,  the shares of  Common Stock when
issued will be fully paid and nonassessable.
 
    Holders of  the  Warrants  are  protected against  dilution  of  the  equity
interest  represented  by  the  underlying  shares  of  common  stock  upon  the
occurrence of certain events, including, but  not limited to, issuance of  stock
dividends. If the Company merges, reorganizes or is acquired in such a way as to
terminate  the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised immediately prior to such
action. In the event of liquidation,  dissolution or winding up of the  Company,
holders of the Warrants are not entitled to participate in the Company's assets.
 
    For the life of the Warrants, the holders thereof are given the opportunity,
at  nominal cost, to profit from a rise  in the market price of the common stock
of the Company. The exercise of the Warrants will result in the dilution of  the
then  book value of the Common Stock of the Company held by the public investors
and would result in a dilution of their percentage ownership of the Company. The
terms upon which  the Company  may obtain  additional capital  may be  adversely
affected through the period that the Warrants remain exercisable. The holders of
these  Warrants may  be expected  to exercise  them at  a time  when the Company
would, in  all  likelihood, be  able  to obtain  equity  capital on  terms  more
favorable than those provided for by the Warrants.
 
    Because the Warrants being offered hereby may be transferred, it is possible
that  the  Warrants may  be acquired  by  persons residing  in states  where the
Company has not  registered, or is  not exempt from  registration such that  the
shares  of common stock underlying  the Warrants may not  be sold or transferred
upon exercise of  the Warrants.  Warrantholders residing in  those states  would
have  no choice  but to  attempt to sell  their Warrants  or to  let them expire
unexercised. Also, it is possible that the Company may be unable, for unforeseen
reasons, to cause a  registration statement covering  the shares underlying  the
Warrants  to be in effect when the  Warrants are exercisable. In that event, the
Warrants may expire unless extended by  the Company as permitted by the  Warrant
because  a registration statement must be in effect, including audited financial
statements for companies acquired, in order for warrantholders to exercise their
Warrants.
 
    The Company will be able to  issue the securities offered hereby, shares  of
its  Common  Stock  upon the  exercise  of  the Warrants  and  the Underwriter's
Purchase Option only if (i) there is a current
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
prospectus  relating  to  the  securities  offered  hereby  under  an  effective
registration  statement filed with  the Securities and  Exchange Commission, and
(ii) such Common  Stock is  then qualified for  sale or  exempt therefrom  under
applicable  state  securities laws  of the  jurisdictions  in which  the various
holders of Warrants reside. Although the  Company intends to maintain a  current
registration  statement, there  can be no  assurance, however,  that the Company
will be  successful in  maintaining a  current registration  statement. After  a
registration  statement becomes effective, it may require updating by the filing
of a  post-effective  amendment.  A post-effective  amendment  is  required  (i)
anytime  after nine months subsequent to the Effective Date when any information
contained in  the prospectus  is over  sixteen months  old; (ii)  when facts  or
events  have occurred  which represent a  fundamental change  in the information
contained in  the registration  statement;  or (iii)  when any  material  change
occurs in the information relating to the plan or distribution of the securities
registered  by such  registration statement.  The Company  anticipates that this
Registration Statement  will remain  effective  for not  more than  nine  months
following  the date of this Prospectus or until               , 1998, assuming a
post-effective amendment is not filed by the Company, which may be required. The
Company intends to qualify the sale of the Units in a limited number of  states,
although certain exemptions under certain state securities ("Blue Sky") laws may
permit  the Warrants to be transferred to  purchasers in states other than those
in which the Warrants were initially  qualified. The Company will be  prevented,
however, from issuing Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants in those states
where  exemptions  are unavailable  and the  Company has  failed to  qualify the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company may decide  not
to  seek, or  may not be  able to obtain  qualification of the  issuance of such
Common Stock  in all  of the  states in  which the  ultimate purchasers  of  the
Warrants  reside. In such case, the Warrants of those purchasers will expire and
have no value  if such Warrants  cannot be exercised  or sold. Accordingly,  the
market  for the Warrants may  be limited because of  the Company's obligation to
fulfill both of the foregoing requirements.
 
RESTRICTED SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 5,250,000 shares  of
Common  Stock issued and outstanding. Of these shares of Common Stock, 1,300,000
shares are  being sold  in this  offering, in  addition to  the registration  of
750,000  shares of Common  Stock on behalf  of the Selling  Stockholders. Of the
remaining shares, 3,200,000 shares ("Restricted Shares") were issued and sold by
the Company in private transactions  in reliance upon certain private  placement
exemptions as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20549. See "Selling Security-holders" and "Certain Transactions."
 
    In  general, under  Rule 144  as currently in  effect, a  person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated)  who has beneficially owned  his or her  Restricted
Shares  for at least two years, including persons who may be deemed "affiliates"
of the Company, as that term is defined under the Act, would be entitled to sell
in broker's transactions within any three  month period a number of shares  that
does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of the
Company's   common  stock,  or   the  average  weekly   trading  volume  in  the
over-the-counter market in the Company's  common stock during the four  calendar
weeks  preceding such sale. Therefore, during each three month period, beginning
in November 1996, a  holder of restricted  securities who has  held them for  at
least  a two year  period may sell  under Rule 144  a number of  shares at least
equal to 52,500 shares. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate  of
the  Company  at any  time during  the 90  days  preceding a  sale, and  who has
beneficially owned his or her Restricted Shares for at least three years,  would
be  entitled to  sell such shares  under Rule  144 without regard  to the volume
limitations described above, provided that certain public information concerning
the Company as required by the Rule is available.
 
    Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock of the
Company, and no  precise predictions can  be made  of the effect,  if any,  that
market  sales of shares or the availability of  shares for sale will have on the
market price prevailing from  time to time.  Nevertheless, sales of  substantial
amounts  of the Common Stock  of the Company in  the public market may adversely
affect prevailing market prices  and may impair the  Company's ability to  raise
capital at the time through the sale of its equity securities.
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
   
    Pursuant   to  the  terms  of  the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the  Company's
stockholders and the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer, assign or  issue
any  restricted shares of Common  Stock for a period  of 24 months following the
date of this  Prospectus without the  prior consent of  the Representative.  The
sale  of a significant number of these shares in the public market may adversely
affect prevailing  market  prices of  the  Company's securities  following  this
offering. See "Principal Stockholders" and "Certain Transactions."
    
 
    No  predictions can be made  as to the effect, if  any, that sales of shares
under Rule 144 or otherwise or the availability of shares for sale will have  on
the  market, if any, prevailing from time  to time. Sales of significant amounts
of the Company's shares of  Common Stock pursuant to  Rule 144 or otherwise  may
adversely affect the market price of the securities offered hereby.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
    The  transfer  agent and  registrar  for the  securities  of the  Company is
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company located at 40 Wall Street, New York, New
York 10005.
 
REPORTS TO SECURITY-HOLDERS
 
    The Company  will  furnish  to  holders of  its  securities  annual  reports
containing  audited financial statements. The  Company may issue other unaudited
interim reports to its security-holders as it deems appropriate.
 
    Contemporaneously, with this offering, the  Company intends to register  its
securities  with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549,
under the provisions of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("Exchange  Act"), and,  in accordance  therewith, the  Company will  be
required  to  comply  with  certain  reporting,  proxy  solicitation  and  other
requirements of the Exchange Act.

                            SELLING SECURITY-HOLDERS
 
   
    The registration  statement, of  which this  Prospectus forms  a part,  also
covers  the  registration of  750,000 shares  of Common  Stock offered  by three
persons who are nonaffiliated with the Underwriters and the Company, hereinafter
collectively referred to  as "Selling  Security-holders," to  wit: Messrs.  Ross
Portenoy  (300,000  shares),  Steven  Madden  (247,500  shares)  and  Todd Stone
(202,500 shares). The  securities held  by the Selling  Security-holders may  be
sold  commencing eighteen (18) months from  the date of this Prospectus, subject
to earlier  release  at  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Underwriter,  and  such
securities  include  a legend  with  such restrictions.  The  Representative may
release the securities held  by the Selling Security-holders  at any time  after
all  securities  subject to  the Over-allotment  Option have  been sold  or such
option has expired. The resale of the securities of the Selling Security-holders
are subject to Prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities  Act
of  1933, as amended. Sales of such securities or the potential of such sales at
any time may  have an  adverse effect  on the  market prices  of the  securities
offered hereby.
    
 
    In  March  1996,  the  Company borrowed  $250,000  from  three nonaffiliated
persons under  three  separate  8%  convertible  promissory  notes,  which  were
convertible  into a total of 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the
option of the noteholders.
 
    In April 1996, the three nonaffiliated noteholders under the 8%  convertible
promissory  notes elected to convert their notes  into a total of 750,000 shares
of  the  Company's  Common  Stock,  resulting  in  a  then  total  of  3,950,000
outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the Company. The 750,000 shares of Common
Stock  are   being  registered   as  part   of  this   offering.  See   "Selling
Security-holders."
 
   
    The  750,000  shares  of  Common  Stock are  being  offered  by  the Selling
Security-holders under an alternate Prospectus. Prior to making the bridge  loan
to the Company, the Selling Security-holders did not own any other securities of
the  Company. None of the Selling  Security-holders of the Company are otherwise
affiliated with the Company, at the time of making the bridge loan, at the  time
of  this offering or at any other  time. The Company believes that its financial
transactions with  the Selling  Security-holders  served a  legitimate  business
purpose,  I.E., providing needed working capital  for the Company, and were fair
and reasonable  under the  circumstances. The  Company's financial  transactions
with  the Selling  Security-holders were  managed by  the Representative  and no
commissions or other remuneration were paid to the Representative in  connection
with   such  transactions.  See  "Certain   Transactions"  and  "Description  of
Securities."
    
 
    The securities offered hereby may be sold from time to time directly by  the
Selling  Security-holders. Alternatively, the  Selling Security-holders may from
time to time offer such securities through underwriters, dealers and agents. The
distribution of securities by  the Selling Security-holders  may be effected  in
one  or more  transactions that may  take place on  the over-the-counter market,
including ordinary broker's  transactions, privately-negotiated transactions  or
through  sales  to one  or  more broker-dealers  for  resale of  such  shares as
principals, at market prices prevailing at  the time of sale, at prices  related
to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or
specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling
Security-holders  in  connection  with  such sales  of  securities.  The Selling
Security-holders and intermediaries through whom such securities are sold may be
deemed "underwriters"  within  the  meaning  of the  Act  with  respect  to  the
securities  offered, and  any profits  realized or  commissions received  may be
deemed underwriting compensation.
 
    At the time a particular  offer of securities is made  by or on behalf of  a
Selling   Security-holder,  to  the  extent   required,  a  Prospectus  will  be
distributed which will  set forth  the number of  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 Security-holder  and any  discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or reallowed  or paid to dealers,  and the proposed  selling
price to the public.

    Under  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and
the regulations thereto, 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 (nine  days) prior to  the commencement of
such distribution. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the  Selling
Security-holders  will be subject  to applicable provisions  of the Exchange Act
and the rules  and regulations  thereunder, including  without limitation,  Rule
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 Security-holders.
 
    Sales of securities by the Selling Security-holders or even the potential of
such sales  may likely  have  an adverse  effect on  the  market prices  of  the
securities  offered hereby. Following the closing of this offering, the publicly
tradeable securities of the Company  ("public float"), including this  offering,
will  be  2,050,000  shares of  Common  Stock  and 1,200,000  Class  A Warrants,
provided, however, that  750,000 shares  of Common  Stock owned  by the  Selling
Security-holders are not transferable for eighteen (18) months commencing on the
effective  date of this Prospectus, or at  such earlier date as may be permitted
by the Underwriter, and such securities include a legend with such restrictions.
The Underwriter may release such securities held by the Selling Security-holders
at any time after all securities subject to the Over-allotment Option have  been
sold  or such option  has expired. The  resale of the  securities of the Selling
Security-holders are subject  to Prospectus delivery  and other requirements  of
the  Securities  Act  of 1933,  as  amended.  Sales of  such  securities  or the
potential of such sales  at any time  may have an adverse  effect on the  market
prices  of the  securities offered hereby.  See "Description  of Securities" and
"Underwriting."

                                  UNDERWRITING
 
   
    Subject to the  terms and conditions  of the underwriting  agreement by  and
among  the Company and Stratton  Oakmont ("Underwriting Agreement"), the Company
has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, as set forth below and for whom Stratton
Oakmont is the Representative,  1,300,000 shares of  Common Stock and  1,200,000
Class A Warrants on a "firm commitment" basis. The Underwriters have advised the
Company  that it proposes to offer the shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per share
and the Class A Warrants at $.15 per  Warrant as set forth on the cover page  of
this  Prospectus and that they may allow to certain dealers who are NASD members
concessions not to exceed  $.  per  share of Common  Stock and $.   per Class  A
Warrant.   After  the  initial  public  offering,  the  public  offering  price,
concession and reallowance may be changed by the Underwriters. The  Underwriters
have  informed  the Company  that it  does not  intend to  confirm sales  to any
accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.

    In addition to underwriting discounts and commissions of ten percent of  the
entire  offering, the Underwriters  will receive additional  compensation in the
form of (i) a nonaccountable expense  allowance of $195,000 if 1,300,000  shares
of Common Stock are sold and $5,400 if 1,200,000 Class A Warrants are sold (or a
total   of  $230,460  if  the   Underwriters'  Over-allotment  Option  is  fully
exercised); and  (ii)  an  option  (exercisable  for  a  period  of  four  years
commencing   one  year  after  the  date   of  this  Prospectus)  entitling  the
Underwriters to purchase 130,000 shares of  Common Stock at $8.25 per share  and
120,000 Class A Warrants at $.25 per Warrant ("Underwriters' Purchase Option").
    
 
   
    The public offering price of the securities and the exercise price and other
terms  of the Warrants  were arbitrarily determined  by negotiations between the
Company and the Underwriters and do  not necessarily relate to the assets,  book
value  or results of operations of the Company or any other established criteria
of value.
    
 
   
    The Company has granted  an option to  the Underwriters, exercisable  during
the  30-day period from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to a maximum
of 195,000 additional  shares of  Common Stock  and 180,000  additional Class  A
Warrants  at  the  offering  price, less  the  underwriting  discount,  to cover
over-allotments, if any.
    
 
   
    The Underwriting Agreement provides  for reciprocal indemnification  between
the  Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities in connection with
the Registration Statement,  including liabilities under  the Securities Act  of
1933,  as  amended  ("1933  Act"). Insofar  as  indemnification  for liabilities
arising under the  1933 Act may  be provided to  officers, directors or  persons
controlling  the Company, the Company  has been informed that  in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission,  such indemnification is against  public
policy and is therefore unenforceable.
    
 
   
    The  Company will  also pay a  warrant solicitation fee  to the Underwriters
equal to four percent of the exercise  price of the Warrants, aggregating up  to
$264,000,  to  the  Underwriter  beginning  one  year  from  the  date  of  this
Prospectus, if the Underwriters solicit the  exercise of such Warrants prior  to
the  expiration thereof as  set forth in  the Warrant Agreement,  subject to the
Underwriters' compliance  with  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  NASD.  In
accordance  with NASD Notice to Members 81-38, no warrant solicitation fee shall
be paid (i) upon exercise where the market price of the underlying Common  Stock
is  lower than the exercise price; (ii) for the exercise of warrants held in any
discretionary account; (iii) upon the  exercise of warrants where disclosure  of
compensation  arrangements has not been made  in documents provided to customers
both as part of the original offering and at the time of exercise; and (iv) upon
the exercise  of  warrants in  unsolicited  transactions. The  broker-dealer  to
    
 
                                       50

receive  the warrant  solicitation fee  will be  designated, in  writing, as the
soliciting broker. See "Risk  Factors -- Exercise of  Class A Warrants May  Have
Dilutive  Effect on  Market and Underwriters'  Influence on the  Market May Have
Adverse Consequences."
    
 
   
    The Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, or its designees, for an
aggregate purchase price of $100, an option ("Underwriters' Purchase Option") to
purchase up to an aggregate of 130,000 shares of Common Stock and 120,000  Class
A  Warrants. The Underwriters'  Purchase Option shall  be exercisable during the
four-year period commencing one year after the effective date. The Underwriters'
Purchase Option may not  be assigned, transferred, sold  or hypothecated by  the
Underwriters until 12 months after the effective date of this Prospectus, except
to  officers or partners of  the Underwriters and selling  group members in this
offering. Any  profits  realized  by  the Underwriters  upon  the  sale  of  the
securities  issuable upon exercise  of the Underwriters'  Purchase Option may be
deemed to be additional  underwriting compensation. The  exercise prices of  the
Common  Stock and Class  A Warrants issuable upon  exercise of the Underwriters'
Purchase Option during the period of exercisability shall be 165 percent of  the
initial  public offering prices  of the Common  Stock and Class  A Warrants. The
exercise price of the  warrants in the Underwriters'  Purchase Option is  $5.50.
The exercise price of the Underwriters' Purchase Option and the number of shares
covered thereby are subject to adjustment in certain events to prevent dilution.
For  the  life of  the Underwriters'  Purchase Option,  the holders  thereof are
given, at a nominal cost,  the opportunity to profit from  a rise in the  market
price  of the Company's securities with a  resulting dilution in the interest of
other stockholders. The Company may find it more difficult to raise capital  for
its business if the need should arise while the Underwriters' Purchase Option is
outstanding.  At any time when the  holders of the Underwriters' Purchase Option
might be expected to exercise it, the  Company would probably be able to  obtain
additional capital on more favorable terms.
    
 
   
    If  the Company enters into a transaction (including a merger, joint venture
or the  acquisition  of  another  entity)  introduced  to  the  Company  by  the
Representative,  the  Company has  agreed to  pay  the Representative  a maximum
finder's fee equal  to five  percent of  the first  $3,000,000 of  consideration
involved  in the transaction, four percent of the next $3,000,000, three percent
of the next $2,000,000, two  percent of the next  $2,000,000 and one percent  of
the excess, if any, over $10,000,000.
    
 
   
    The  Representative has  the right to  designate a  non-director observer to
attend meetings of  the Company's Board  of Directors for  three years from  the
date  of this offering. The Representative does not have a right to designate or
nominate a director to  the Company's Board of  Directors. The observer will  be
reimbursed  for  reasonable  expenses incurred  by  him in  connection  with his
activities.
    
 
   
    Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the   Company's
stockholders  and the Company have agreed not to sell, transfer, assign or issue
any restricted shares of Common  Stock for a period  of 24 months following  the
date  of this  Prospectus without the  prior consent of  the Representative. The
sale of a significant number of these shares in the public market may  adversely
affect  prevailing  market prices  of  the Company's  securities  following this
offering. See "Principal Stockholders" and "Certain Transactions."
    
 
   
    The foregoing is a  summary of all material  provisions of the  Underwriting
Agreement  and the  Underwriters' Purchase  Option which  have been  filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
    
 
   
    The Company has been advised by Stratton Oakmont that the NASD (District 10)
filed a  complaint (No.  C10950081)  on October  5, 1995  ("Complaint")  against
Stratton Oakmont, Steven Sanders, the head trader of Stratton Oakmont, Daniel M.
Porush,  the  president of  Stratton Oakmont,  and Paul  F. Byrne,  formerly the
Underwriter's director of compliance (collectively, the "Respondents"), alleging
various violations of the NASD Rules  of Fair Practice. The complaint  consisted
of  three  causes. The  first cause  alleged that  Stratton Oakmont  and Sanders
effected principal retail sales of  securities at prices that were  fraudulently
excessive. The second cause alleged that Stratton Oakmont
    
 
                                       51
<PAGE>
   
and  Sanders charged  excessive markups. The  third cause  alleged that Stratton
Oakmont, Porush and Byrne failed  to establish, maintain and enforce  reasonable
supervisory  procedures designed to assure compliance  with the NASD's rules and
policies.
    
 
    On April 15,  1996 the NASD  in its  decision found all  of the  Respondents
except  Paul Byrne in  violation of all  three causes and  imposed the following
sanctions:
 
    -Sanders was censured, fined $25,000 and was suspended from association with
     any member of the NASD in any capacity for a period of one year.
 
   
    -Stratton Oakmont was censured, fined $500,000 and was required to  disgorge
     its  excess profits to  its customers, plus  prejudgment interest, totaling
     $1,876,205. In addition, Stratton Oakmont was suspended for a period of one
     year from effecting any principal retail transactions.
    
 
    -Porush was censured, fined  $250,000 and barred  from association with  any
     member of the NASD in any capacity.
 
   
    Stratton  Oakmont,  Porush and  Sanders  have appealed  the  NASD's decision
thereby staying imposition of the sanctions.
    
 
   
    If the sanctions  imposed on Stratton  Oakmont are not  reversed on  appeal,
Stratton  Oakmont's ability to act as a market maker of the Company's securities
will be restricted.  The Company cannot  ensure that other  broker dealers  will
make  a  market in  the Company's  securities.  In the  event that  other broker
dealers fail  to make  a market  in the  Company's securities,  the  possibility
exists  that the market for and the liquidity of the Company's securities may be
adversely affected to such an extent  that public security holders may not  have
anyone  to purchase their securities when offered for sale at any price. In such
event, the market for and liquidity  of the Company's securities may not  exist.
It  should be noted  that although Stratton  Oakmont may not  be the sole market
maker in the Company's securities, it may likely be the dominant market maker in
the Company's securities.
    
 
    The Company  has  been  advised  by Stratton  Oakmont  that  the  Commission
instituted  an action on December  14, 1994 in the  United States District Court
for the District  of Columbia  against Stratton Oakmont.  The complaint  alleged
that  Stratton Oakmont was not complying  with the March 17, 1994 Administrative
Order by failing to adopt the recommendations of an independent consultant.  The
Administrative  Order was previously  consented to by  Stratton Oakmont, without
admitting or denying the findings contained therein, as settlement of an  action
commenced  against Stratton Oakmont by the Commission in March 1992, which found
willful violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws such that
Stratton Oakmont:
 
    -engaged in fraudulent sales practices;
 
    -engaged in and/or permitted unauthorized trading in customer accounts;
 
    -knowingly and  recklessly  manipulated  the market  price  of  a  company's
     securities by dominating and controlling the market for those securities;
 
    -made  improper and unsupported price predictions with regard to recommended
     over-the-counter securities; and
 
    -made material misrepresentations and omissions regarding certain securities
     and its experience in the securities industry.
 
    Pursuant to the Administrative Order, Stratton Oakmont was censured and  the
Stratton  Consultant was  chosen by  the Commission  to advise  and consult with
Stratton Oakmont  and to  review and  recommend new  supervisory and  compliance
procedures. The complaint sought:
 
    -a to enjoin Stratton Oakmont from violating the Administrative Order;
 
    -an  order  commanding Stratton  Oakmont to  comply with  the Administrative
     Order; and
 
                                       52
<PAGE>
    -to have a Special  Compliance Monitor appointed  to ensure compliance  with
     the  Administrative  Order.  Stratton  Oakmont  claimed  that  the Stratton
     Consultant exceeded his  authority under the  Administrative Order and  had
     violated the terms of the Administrative Order.
 
    On  February 28,  1995, the  court granted  the Commission's  motion for the
Permanent  Injunction  and   ordered  Stratton  Oakmont   to  comply  with   the
Administrative   Order,  which  required  the   appointment  of  an  independent
consultant,  and  a   separate  independent  auditor   and  required  that   all
recommendations  be  complied  with,  including  the  taping  of  all  telephone
conversations between the  Stratton Oakmont's  brokers and  their customers.  In
granting   the  Commission's  motion  for  a  Permanent  Injunction,  the  court
determined that Stratton Oakmont's conduct unequivocally demonstrated that there
is a substantial likelihood that it will continue to evade its  responsibilities
under  the Administrative  Order. On April  20, 1995, Stratton  Oakmont filed an
appeal to the United States Court of  Appeals for the District of Columbia,  and
on  April 24, 1995 filed  a motion to stay  the permanent injunction pending the
outcome of the appeal.  The motion to  stay was denied. It  is uncertain when  a
decision  on the  appeal will  be rendered. The  failure by  Stratton Oakmont to
comply with  the  Administrative Order  or  Permanent Injunction  may  adversely
effect Stratton Oakmont's activities in that the court may enter a further order
restricting  the ability  of Stratton Oakmont  to act  as a market  maker of the
Company's securities. The effect of such  action may prevent the holders of  the
Company's  securities from selling such securities since Stratton Oakmont may be
restricted from acting  as a market  maker of the  Company's securities and,  in
such  event, will  not be able  to execute a  sale of such  securities. Also, if
other broker dealers  fail to  make a market  in the  Company's securities,  the
public  security holders may  not have anyone to  purchase their securities when
offered for sale at any  price and the security holders  may suffer the loss  of
their entire investment.
 
    As  a  result  of  the  Permanent  Injunction,  the  states  of  New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Indiana have commenced actions seeking, among other things,  to
revoke  Stratton Oakmont's license to do business  in such states. The states of
Alabama, Delaware,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  and  Arkansas  also  have
suspended  Stratton Oakmont's license pending a resolution of the proceedings in
those states. The  states of Minnesota,  Vermont, and Rhode  Island have  served
upon  Stratton Oakmont notices of intent to revoke Stratton Oakmont's license in
such states.  In the  state of  Mississippi, Stratton  Oakmont has  agreed to  a
suspension of its license pending resolution of certain claims and review of its
procedures and practices by the state authorities. In addition, Stratton Oakmont
withdrew  its registration in  the State of  Maryland and notwithstanding, there
may be further  administrative action against  the firm. The  firm withdrew  its
registration in Massachusetts with a right to reapply for registration after two
(2) years and agreed to a temporary cessation of business in Utah pending an on-
site  inspection and further administrative proceedings. The state of Oregon, as
a result of  the Permanent  Injunction, has revoked  Stratton Oakmont's  license
subject to the holding of a hearing to determine definitively Stratton Oakmont's
license  status,  and Stratton  Oakmont,  in this  proceeding  as well  as other
proceedings, expects to be able to demonstrate that the Permanent Injunction  is
not  of a nature  as to be a  lawful basis to  revoke Stratton Oakmont's license
permanently. Finally, Stratton Oakmont has received an order limiting license in
the state of Nebraska. Such proceedings, if ultimately successful, may adversely
affect the market for  and liquidity of the  Company's securities if  additional
broker-dealers  do  not make  a market  in  the Company's  securities. Moreover,
should investors purchase any of the  securities in this Offering from  Stratton
Oakmont prior to a revocation of Stratton Oakmont's license in their state, such
investors  will not  be able  to resell  such securities  in such  state through
Stratton Oakmont but  will be required  to retain a  new broker-dealer firm  for
such  purpose. The Company  cannot ensure that other  broker-dealers will make a
market in the Company's securities. In the event that other broker-dealers  fail
to  make a market in  the Company's securities, the  possibility exists that the
market for  and the  liquidity  of the  Company's  securities may  be  adversely
affected  to such an extent that public  security holders may not have anyone to
purchase their securities when offered for sale at any price. In such event, the
market for, and liquidity and prices of the Company's securities may not  exist.
It  should be noted  that although Stratton  Oakmont may not  be the sole market
maker in the Company's  securities, it will most  likely be the dominant  market
maker  in  the  Company's  securities.  In  addition,  in  the  event  that  the
Underwriter's license to
 
                                       53
<PAGE>
do business  is revoked  in the  states  set forth  above, the  Underwriter  has
advised  the Company that it believes  that it will be able  to make a market in
the Company's securities in such states and  that such an event will not have  a
materially adverse effect on this Offering, although no assurance can be given.
 
    The  Company has  been advised  by Stratton  Oakmont that  Honorable John E.
Sprizzo, United States Judge for  the Southern District of  New York, on May  6,
1994  denied  the  class certification  motion  in PAUL  CARMICHAEL  V. STRATTON
OAKMONT, INC., ET AL.,  Civ. 0720 (JES), of  the plaintiff Paul Carmichael.  The
class  action complaint alleges  manipulation and fraudulent  sales practices in
connection with  a  number of  securities.  The allegations  were  substantially
similar  and involve  much of  the same  time period  as the  Commission's civil
complaint (discussed above). The Company has further been informed that  counsel
for  the class  action plaintiff  is seeking  to re-argue  the motion  for class
certification. Should the motion for re-argument be denied, Paul Carmichael  may
likely  be required to arbitrate his individual claim for the monetary losses in
his security brokerage account before the NASD.
 
DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE
 
   
    Prior to this offering, there has  been no public market for the  securities
of  the Company. The  initial public offering  price for the  securities and the
exercise price of  the Class  A Warrants  have been  determined by  negotiations
between  the Company and  the Underwriters. Among the  factors considered in the
negotiations were an analysis of the areas  of activity in which the Company  is
engaged,  the present state  of the Company's  business, the Company's financial
condition, the Company's  prospects, an  assessment of  management, the  general
condition  of the securities market at the  time of this offering and the demand
for similar securities of comparable companies. The public offering price of the
securities and the exercise  prices of the Class  A Warrants do not  necessarily
bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value
applicable to the Company.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
Board of Directors
n-Vision, Inc.
 
    We  have  audited the  accompanying balance  sheet of  n-Vision, Inc.  as of
December 31,  1995,  and the  related  statements of  operations,  stockholders'
deficit  and  cash flows  for  the two  years in  the  period then  ended. These
financial statements are  the responsibility  of the  Company's management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion  on these 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial  statements referred to above present  fairly,
in  all  material  respects, the  financial  position  of n-Vision,  Inc.  as of
December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations, stockholders' deficit, and
its cash flows for the  two years in the period  then ended, in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
NOTE A -- ACQUISITION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND LIQUIDITY
    n-Vision,  Inc.  ("Company"),  a  Delaware  corporation,  designs, develops,
manufactures and markets  state-of-the-art, proprietary  virtual reality  ("VR")
products  and  systems  for a  variety  of commercial,  industrial  and military
applications. The  accompanying financial  statements include  the accounts  and
activity  of the Company,  and the activities  of the Company's  VR business and
products while it  was operated as  a division of  Advanced Technology  Systems,
Inc.  ("ATS"),  a McLean,  Virginia  based information  technology  products and
services company, which is principally owned and controlled by Delmar J.  Lewis,
the  chairman of the board and a principal stockholder of the Company. n-Vision,
Inc. was incorporated on September 16, 1994 for the purpose of acquiring the  VR
business  from ATS. The acquisition was  completed on November 1, 1994, pursuant
to an Asset Purchase Agreement described below.
 
    1.  ACQUISITION OF NET ASSETS
 
    On November 1, 1994, the Company acquired the net assets of the VR  business
(comprised  primarily of inventory, accounts receivable, property and equipment,
the VR technology, contract rights and a  covenant not to compete) from ATS  for
$1,520,590.  The  purchase  price  was represented  by  two  notes  payable with
principal amounts of $500,000 and $1,020,590. In October 1995, the $500,000 note
payable was forgiven by ATS. Interest  accrued at prime plus 1.375% through  the
date  of forgiveness remains payable by the Company. The principal amount of the
note payable of $1,020,590 arose from an existing obligation of the VR  business
for net expenses which were funded by ATS and incurred through October 31, 1994.
Terms of the remaining note payable to ATS are as follows:
 
    -$1,020,590  term  note  payable  in  semi-annual  installments  of  $80,000
     commencing May 1, 1996, with the remaining balance existing May 1, 2001 due
     on that date; interest accrues at the prime rate (as published in the  WALL
     STREET  JOURNAL) plus 1.375% (10.375% at December 31, 1995), with the first
     interest payment due May 1, 1996. The fair value of this term note  payable
     is  not practicable to determine in as  much as the note is between related
     parties and market data for  comparable instruments cannot be obtained.  In
     May  1996,  the remaining  balance of  $1,000,000 due  under this  note was
     retired in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
 
    In accounting  for  the acquisition,  management  has applied  the  relevant
accounting  guidance for  accounting for leveraged  buyouts which  permits a new
basis of accounting  only when a  change in control  has occurred. Because  ATS'
stockholders  have retained an ownership in  the Company of approximately 63%, a
change in control of the VR business  did not occur. Accordingly, the excess  of
the  $500,000 purchase  price over  the net  assets acquired  (after taking into
account the  intercompany  obligation of  $1,020,590)  was charged  to  paid  in
capital  deficiency in the accompanying  financial statements. Additionally, the
basis of intangible  assets acquired  comprised principally  the VR  technology,
contract  rights and a covenant not to  compete from ATS, have not been recorded
as assets at fair value in the accompanying financial statements. The balance of
the accumulated deficit  account at  November 1, 1994  was adjusted  to paid  in
capital  deficiency upon the  acquisition. Upon the  forgiveness of the $500,000
note payable  in October  1995, the  Company  credited paid  in capital  in  the
accompanying  financial statements  to reflect  the forgiveness  of debt between
affiliates.
 
    The following is  a PRO  FORMA statement of  operations for  the year  ended
December 31, 1994 as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 1994,
reflecting additional interest expense related to the notes payable arising from
the  acquisition. In addition, the PRO  FORMA statement also reflects additional
compensation called for in the employment agreements described in note F1 as  if

    2.  BORROWINGS FROM ATS
 
    In connection  with  the acquisition  previously  described, ATS  agreed  to
extend  the Company  a line  of credit  permitting borrowings  up to $1,000,000.
However, ATS has agreed to fund operations, by lending the Company amounts  over
the  $1,000,000 line of credit limit. Borrowings  are due upon demand, or at the
date the Company receives at least $1,000,000 in proceeds from either an initial
public offering of securities or a private offering of securities at which  time
a  curtailment of  $500,000 is due.  ATS has  agreed not to  demand repayment of
interest and  principal due  on the  loan  until January  1, 1997.  Interest  on
advances  under the line  of credit is payable  monthly at a  rate of prime plus
1.375% (10.375% as of  December 31, 1995). Certain  stockholders of the  Company
have pledged their shares as collateral for the above notes, and such collateral
will be released PRO RATA as the notes are paid.
 
    3.  ALLOCATIONS
 
    In  preparing  the accompanying  1994  financial statements,  management has
included allocations of  shared expenses incurred  while the VR  business was  a
division  of ATS for general  and administrative expenses, including accounting,
human resources and  administration of  the VR business.  Such allocations  were
based  upon  the  specific identification  of  time  spent by  ATS  employees on
activities and matters related to the VR business, plus an allocation of  fringe
benefit  costs based upon the  ratio of total ATS  fringe benefit costs to total
ATS payroll  cost.  In  addition, the  accompanying  1994  financial  statements
include  an allocation of interest incurred on  ATS' bank line of credit insofar
as borrowings  were used  to  fund operations  of  the VR  business.  Management

by ATS which are attributable to the VR business

NOTE A -- ACQUISITION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)
while it  operated  as a  division  of ATS  and  reported costs  do  not  differ
materially  from costs which  would have been  incurred on a  stand alone basis.
Similar allocations have been made in 1995 through July 1995, at which time  the
Company began operations on a stand-alone independent basis.
 
    Fringe benefit expenses incurred by ATS on behalf of the Company's employees
have  been allocated based on  the percentage of the  Company's labor cost as it
relates to ATS  total labor  cost. In November  and December  1994, the  Company
reimbursed ATS for administrative services rendered of approximately $24,000.
 
    4.  LIQUIDITY
 
    As  of  March 31,  1996, the  Company  has a  working capital  deficiency of
$1,045,300 and a stockholders' deficit  of $2,183,830. In addition, the  Company
has  used cash in operations since its inception and incurred a significant loss
in 1995. Operations to  date have been supported  principally by loans from  ATS
under  a line of credit agreement. While  no assurances can be given, management
believes the Company's liquidity  position in 1996 will  be adequate to  sustain
operations for the following reasons:
 
    -ATS  has agreed not to demand  repayment, if necessary, of amounts advanced
     to the Company under the line of credit until January 1, 1997.
 
    -In May 1996,  the Company  retired $1,000,000  of the  principal due  under
     notes  payable to ATS upon  the issuance of 200,000  shares of common stock
     thereby significantly reducing the Company's debt service requirements.
 
    -Certain officers subject  to employment agreements  which commence June  1,
     1996  have agreed to defer, as necessary, payment of compensation due under
     these agreements.
 
    -The Company has a $500,000 line of credit agreement with a bank  permitting
     advances  of  up  to 70%  of  outstanding eligible  accounts  receivable to
     finance working capital.
 
    -In March 1996, the Company received $250,000 from convertible notes payable
     described in Note E2.
 
    -Management believes  new products  brought  to market  in early  1996  will
     result in improved operating results and cash flows.
 
NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and for the three-months ended
March  31, 1996 and 1995  are unaudited; however, in  the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary  for a  fair presentation of  the financial  position,
results  of  operations, and  cash  flows for  these  interim periods  have been
included. The  results for  the interim  periods ended  March 31,  1996 are  not
necessarily  indicative of the results to be  obtained for the full fiscal year.
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the  accompanying
financial statements are as follows:
 
    1.  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenue  from the sale  of VR products  is recognized when  the products are
shipped. Related estimated warranty costs are provided for at the time of  sale.
As of December 31, 1995, other accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial
statements  include accrued warranty costs of  $27,284. The Company had sales to
customers outside the United States  (primarily Europe) comprising $332,144  and
$988,700 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    Currently,   the  Company  has  non-exclusive  distributor  agreements  with
companies in the United Kingdom and  Japan. The Company performs ongoing  credit
evaluations  of  its  customers'  financial condition  and  usually  requires no
collateral. The  Company's  typical sales  terms  with distributors  permit  the
distributors  to return products for credit  against future purchases in certain
circumstances. The financial statements  for the years  ended December 31,  1995
and  1994 include charges for returns from distributors of $185,000 and $28,500,
respectively, which are reflected  as a reduction of  sales. As of December  31,
1995,  a  reserve for  returns has  not been  established as  all units  sold to
distributors were either returned and accounted for or sold to end users who  do
not have the right to return products.
 
    Revenue  earned  by ATS  from reimbursement  of  the Company's  research and
development costs incurred through October 31,  1994, the date the business  was
spun-off  from ATS  (see Note  A), has  not been  reflected in  the accompanying
financial statements.
 
    2.  INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis.
 
    Inventories consist of the following:

</TABLE>
 
    3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment  are stated  at cost  and are  depreciated using  the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years.
 
    4.  PUBLIC OFFERING COSTS
 
    In  early  1995,  the Company  incurred  $559,245 of  public  offering costs
related to a  proposed initial public  offering which was  not successful.  Such
amounts  were charged to expense in  1995 because the offering was unsuccessful.
These deferred charges include $100,000 paid for services rendered in connection
with the offering by an attorney who is also a stockholder of the Company.
 
    5.  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
    Income (loss) per share of Common  Stock is computed using weighted  average
shares  outstanding for each period adjusted  retroactively for stock splits and
the effect  of the  750,000 shares  of common  stock issued  upon conversion  of
convertible  notes  payable in  April  1996. PRO  FORMA  net loss  per  share is
computed using the weighted average  shares outstanding, as adjusted above,  the
200,000 additional shares of common stock issued in May 1996 in exchange for the
retirement  of notes payable to ATS,  and 100,000 shares representing the shares
to be issued in  the Company's proposed public  offering, the proceeds of  which
will be used to retire a portion of the Company's outstanding line of credit.

NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    6.  INCOME TAXES
 
    The  Company has provided  for income taxes in  accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS  No.
109).  Under the liability method mandated by SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax asset
or liability is recorded on the tax effects of temporary differences between the
tax basis and financial amounts of assets and liabilities. Temporary differences
arise from accrued  warranty costs,  receivable and inventory  reserves and  the
liability for paid leave.
 
    7.  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Research  and  development costs  consist of  labor, materials  and overhead
incurred in the development of the VR  products. All such costs are expensed  in
the period in which they are incurred.
 
    8.  CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS
 
    For  the year ended December 31,  1995, revenue derived from three customers
(E-OIR Measurement,  Inc., U.S.  Naval Warfare  Center, and  Solidray Co.,  Ltd.
(Japan))  amounted  to approximately  11%, 16%,  and  10%, respectively,  of the
Company's total revenue. For the year  ended December 31, 1994, revenue  derived
from  two customers (Division Limited, U.K.  and Media Systems GmbH) amounted to
approximately 30% and 25%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.
 
    9.  ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
    Deferred organizational costs represent fees related to the incorporation of
the Company in September  1994. The costs  are amortized over  a useful life  of
five  years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
was $12,236 and  $797, respectively.  Amortization expense  for the  three-month
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $16,332 and $3,308, respectively.
 
    10.  USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    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 could differ from those estimates.

    Operating losses of the Company, while it  was a division of ATS, have  been
reflected  in  the ATS  corporate  income tax  returns.  The related  income tax
benefit derived by ATS from reducing its  taxable income by the losses has  been
presented as an income tax benefit of the division using ATS tax rates, pursuant
to  a tax-sharing arrangement between ATS and the Company. The Company has a net
operating loss carryforward as  of December 31,  1995 of approximately  $450,000
available  to offset future tax income generated through 2009. In the event of a

NOTE E -- DEBT
 
    1.  BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 
    The Company has a bank line of credit permitting the Company to borrow up to
a  maximum  of $500,000  or  70% of  eligible  accounts receivable.  Interest on
borrowings is payable monthly at  the bank's prime rate  plus 2 1/2% (11.50%  at
December  31,  1995). This  line of  credit expired  on April  30, 1996  and was
extended  for  a  sixty   day  period  pending   re-negotiation.  The  line   is
collateralized  by  all assets  of  the Company  and  is guaranteed  by Advanced
Technology Systems, Inc. As of December 31, 1995, the Company borrowed  $67,237,
an  amount in excess of the amount  permitted to be borrowed based upon eligible
accounts receivable due to the  issuance of a credit  to a customer in  December
1995.  The line  of credit balance  was curtailed  in January 1996  to bring the
amount borrowed within the eligible base. The  balance on the line of credit  at
March 31, 1996 was $115,634.
 
    2.  CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
 
    In  March  1996,  the  Company borrowed  $250,000  from  three nonaffiliated
persons under three separate 8%  convertible Promissory Notes, convertible  into
750,000  shares of the Company's Common Stock  at the option of the noteholders.
In April 1996, the three noteholders elected to convert their notes into a total
of 750,000  shares  of the  Company's  Common Stock,  resulting  in a  total  of
3,750,000  outstanding shares of  Common Stock. The  newly issued 750,000 shares
are being registered as part of the public offering described in Note G.
 
    Because the  conversion  feature of  these  notes  was granted  at  a  price
substantially  below the  $5.00 per share  offering price,  financing expense of
$3,500,000 will be accrued during the period from the date of the notes  payable
and  the date  of the  public offering  with a  corresponding credit  to paid in
capital.
 
    3.  CAPITAL LEASE
 
    The Company is committed under a  capital lease for computer equipment  with
an  interest rate of 13%. Future minimum  lease payments under the capital lease
is as follows:

NOTE G -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
    1.  INITIAL CAPITALIZATION, STOCK SPLIT AND ISSUANCE
 
   
    The Company was initially capitalized in November 1994 with 2,847,000 shares
of Common Stock (after giving effect to subsequent splits). The Company received
consideration, comprising $638,438 in cash and notes, due for the issuance of an
additional  151,300  shares of  Common Stock  in  March 1995.  The value  of the
consideration received for these shares issued was based upon the fair value  of
shares  offered for sale  at the same time  by the Company  in a proposed public
offering. The Common Stock subscriptions receivable caption in the  accompanying
balance sheet represents the amount due to paid in cash as consideration for the
shares outstanding.

                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
NOTE G -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
    Certain members of the management of the Company and other stockholders have
pledged  their  securities  as  collateral  for  the  Company's  promissory note
obligation of  $1,020,590 to  ATS, representing  the purchase  price of  the  VR
products  and  systems  from  ATS.  A PRO  RATA  portion  of  the collateralized
securities will be released as  the note is paid. This  note was retired in  May
1996  for cash of  $20,590 and the  issuance of 200,000  shares of the Company's
common stock.
 
    The accompanying  statement of  operations includes  disclosure of  the  pro
forma  net loss per  share for 1995  giving effect to  the reduction in interest
expense which would have resulted had the offering occurred January 1, 1995  and
the  Company paid  down $500,000  in line  of credit  debt and  adjusted for the
100,000 of additional  shares issued  to generate  the proceeds  needed for  the
curtailment.  In addition, the  pro forma net  loss per share  also reflects the
reduction of  interest expense  from the  May 1996  retirement of  the ATS  note
payable  and the related issuance  of 200,000 shares of  Common Stock as if they
had occurred on January 1, 1995.
 
    2.  STOCK SPLIT
 
    In March 1996, a 1.38:1 stock split was effected whereby each  shareholder's
interest  was increased PRO RATA such that  the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after the  split was 3,000,000.  The effect of  this split has  been
reflected retroactively throughout the accompanying financial statements.
 
    3.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF SECURITIES
 
    In  March  1996,  the  Company  entered into  a  letter  of  intent  with an
underwriter which  sets forth  the terms  and conditions  of a  firm  commitment
underwriting  for the sale  of 1,500,000 shares  of Common Stock  at an offering
price of  $5.00 per  share and  750,000 Class  A Warrants  at $.15  per Class  A
Warrant. The Class A Warrants shall be exercisable commencing one year after the
date  of the Prospectus,  entitling the holder  to purchase one  share of Common
Stock at $5.50 per share  during the four year  period commencing one year  from
the  effective date  of the  offering. These  Warrants are  also redeemable upon
certain conditions. The offering  also includes 750,000  shares of Common  Stock
acquired  upon the conversion  of certain promissory notes  into Common Stock in
April 1996 as described in Note E.
 
NOTE H -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    During the  years  ended  December  31, 1995  and  1994,  the  Company  paid
approximately $85,000 and $94,000, respectively, to a consultant and stockholder
of  the Company for services rendered. During  the year ended December 31, 1995,
the Company paid $25,000 to a company owned by one of its directors for research
and development and purchased inventory from the same company for $5,288.

                                    PART TWO
                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 24.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
    The  Company's Certificate  of Incorporation and  By-laws contain provisions
which reduce the potential personal liability of directors for certain  monetary
damages and provide for indemnity of directors and other persons. The Company is
unaware  of any  pending or  threatened litigation  against the  Company, or its
directors, that would result in any liability for which such director would seek
indemnification or similar protection.
 
    Such indemnification  provisions are  intended  to increase  the  protection
provided  directors and,  thus, increase  the Company's  ability to  attract and
retain qualified persons  to serve  as directors.  Because directors'  liability
insurance  is only available at considerable cost  and with low dollar limits of
coverage and broad policy exclusions, the Company does not currently maintain  a
liability insurance policy for the benefit of its directors although the Company
may  attempt to acquire such insurance in  the future. The Company believes that
the substantial increase  in the number  of lawsuits being  threatened or  filed
against  corporations  and their  directors  and the  general  unavailability of
directors liability insurance to provide  protection against the increased  risk
of  personal liability resulting from such lawsuits have combined to result in a
growing reluctance on the part of capable persons to serve as members of  boards
of  directors of public companies. The  Company also believes that the increased
risk of  personal  liability  without  adequate  insurance  or  other  indemnity
protection  for its  directors could result  in overcautious  and less effective
direction and management of the Company. Although no directors have resigned  or
have  threatened  to resign  as a  result  of the  Company's failure  to provide
insurance or other indemnity protection from liability, it is uncertain  whether
the  Company's directors would continue to  serve in such capacities if improved
protection from liability were not provided.
 
    The provisions affecting  personal liability  do not  abrogate a  director's
fiduciary  duty  to the  Company and  its  shareholders, but  eliminate personal
liability for monetary damages for breach  of that duty. The provisions do  not,
however,  eliminate or limit the  liability of a director  for failing to act in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for authorizing the illegal  payment of a dividend  or repurchase of stock,  for
obtaining  an  improper personal  benefit, for  breaching  a director's  duty of
loyalty (which  is  generally  described  as  the duty  not  to  engage  in  any
transaction  which involves a  conflict between the interest  of the Company and
those of the  director) or for  violations of the  federal securities laws.  The
provisions  also  limit or  indemnify against  liability resulting  from grossly
negligent decisions including grossly  negligent business decisions relating  to
attempts to change control of the Company.
 
    The  provisions  regarding  indemnification provide,  in  essence,  that the
Company will  indemnify its  directors  against expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees),  judgments, fines and amounts paid  in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with  any action, suit or  proceeding arising out of  the
director's  status as a director of the Company, including actions brought by or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not
require a showing of good faith.  Moreover, they do not provide  indemnification
for  liability  arising out  of willful  misconduct,  fraud, or  dishonesty, for
"short-swing" profits violations under the  federal securities laws, or for  the
receipt   of  illegal   remuneration.  The   provisions  also   do  not  provide
indemnification for any  liability to the  extent such liability  is covered  by
insurance.  One purpose of the provisions is to supplement the coverage provided
by such insurance. However, as mentioned  above, the Company does not  currently
provide  such insurance  to its  directors, and there  is no  guarantee that the
Company will provide such insurance to its directors in the near future although
the Company may attempt to obtain such insurance.
 
    The provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might otherwise
be available to shareholders by limiting the liability of officers and directors
to  the  maximum  extent   allowable  under  Delaware   law  and  by   affording
indemnification  against most damages and settlement  amounts paid by a director
of the Company in connection  with any shareholders derivative action.  However,
the  provisions do not have the effect of limiting the right of a shareholder to
enjoin a director from taking
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
actions in breach  of his fiduciary  duty, or  to cause the  Company to  rescind
actions already taken, although as a practical matter courts may be unwilling to
grant  such  equitable  remedies in  circumstances  in which  such  actions have
already been taken. Also, because the Company does not presently have directors'
liability insurance and  because there  is no  assurance that  the Company  will
procure  such insurance or  that if such  insurance is procured  it will provide
coverage to the extent directors would be indemnified under the provisions,  the
Company  may be forced  to bear a portion  or all of the  cost of any director's
claims for indemnification under  such provisions. If the  Company is forced  to
bear  the  costs for  indemnification, the  value  of the  Company stock  may be
adversely affected. In the  opinion of the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,
indemnification  for liabilities  arising under  the Securities  Act of  1933 is
contrary to public policy and, therefore, is unenforceable.

ITEM 26.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
    The  following information sets forth all  securities of the Company sold by
it within the past three years,  which securities were not registered under  the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
    The  Company was  established in 1988  as a division  of Advanced Technology
Systems, Inc. ("ATS"), a McLean, Virginia based information technology  products
and  services company,  which is principally  owned and controlled  by Delmar J.
Lewis, the chairman of the board and a principal stockholder of the Company. The
Company was incorporated  in Delaware  on September  16, 1994  and acquired  all
rights,  title  and interest  in  the VR  products and  systems  from ATS  for a
purchase price of $1,520,590, of which $500,000 was subsequently forgiven by ATS
in October 1995. The purchase price represents the net expenses incurred by  ATS
while the Company was a division of ATS, plus a premium of $500,000. The balance
of  $1,020,590 is payable under a promissory note bearing simple annual interest
at the rate of prime plus 1.375%, with semi-annual payments commencing May  1996
extending  through  May 2001.  However, in  May 1996,  this promissory  note was
cancelled in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
 
    In November 1994 and March 1995, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of  its
Common  Stock, which includes  a 1.67:1 reverse  stock split in  May 1995, to 14
persons, including certain  officers and  directors of the  Company, in  private
placement  transactions for aggregate consideration  of $676,925. See "Principal
Stockholders" and "Legal Matters."
 
    In March 1996,  the Company caused  a 1.38:1  stock split of  its shares  of
Common  Stock resulting  in 3,000,000  outstanding shares  of Common  Stock. See
"Certain Transactions."
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>
    In March  1996,  the  Company borrowed  $250,000  from  three  nonaffiliated
persons  under  three  separate  8%  convertible  promissory  notes,  which were
convertible into a total of 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at  the
option of the noteholders. See "Certain Transactions."
 
    In  April 1996, the three nonaffiliated noteholders under the 8% convertible
promissory notes elected to convert their  notes into a total of 750,000  shares
of  the  Company's  Common  Stock,  resulting  in  a  then  total  of  3,750,000
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The 750,000 shares of  Common
Stock  are being registered as part of this offering. See "Certain Transactions"
and "Selling Security-holders."
 
    The Company has relied  on Section 4(2)  of the Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended,  for  its  private placement  exemption,  such  that the  sales  of the
securities were transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
 
    Reference  is  also  made  hereby  to  "Certain  Transactions,"  "Dilution,"
"Principal  Shareholders" and "Description of  Securities" in the Prospectus for
more information with respect to the previous issuance and sale of the Company's
securities.
 
    All of  the  aforesaid securities  have  been appropriately  marked  with  a
restricted legend and are "restricted securities," as defined in Rule 144 of the
rules  and regulations  of the  Securities and  Exchange Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20549. All of the aforesaid securities were issued for investment  purposes
only  and not  with a  view to redistribution,  absent registration.  All of the
aforesaid  persons  have  been  fully   informed  and  advised  concerning   the
Registrant,  its  business, financial  and  other matters.  Transactions  by the
Registrant involving the sales of these  securities set forth above were  issued
pursuant to the "private placement" exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933,
as  amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The
Registrant has been informed that each person is able to bear the economic  risk
of his investment and is aware that the securities were not registered under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as  amended, and cannot be  re-offered or re-sold until
they have  been  so  registered  or  until  the  availability  of  an  exemption
therefrom. The transfer agent and registrar of the Registrant will be instructed
to  mark "stop transfer" on its ledgers to assure that these securities will not
be transferred absent  registration or  until the availability  of an  exemption
therefrom is determined.

ITEM 28.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
    The undersigned  Registrant hereby  undertakes to  provide to  participating
broker-dealers,   at  the  closing,  certificates   in  such  denominations  and
registered in such  names as  required by the  participating broker-dealers,  to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
    The undersigned Registrant also undertakes:
 
       (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
           post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
           (i) To  include any  prospectus required  by section  10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act of 1933;
 
           (ii)To reflect in the  prospectus any facts  or events arising  after
               the  effective date  of the  registration statement  (or the most
               recent post-effective amendment  thereof) which, individually  or
               in   the  aggregate,  represent  a   fundamental  change  in  the
               information set forth in the registration statement:
 
           (iii)
               To include any material information  with respect to the plan  of
               distribution   not  previously  disclosed   in  the  registration
               statement or  any  material change  to  such information  in  the
               registration statement;
 
           Provided,  however, that  paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and  (a)(1)(ii) do not
           apply if the registration statement is  on Form S-3 or Form S-8,  and
           the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
           by  those paragraphs  is contained in  periodic reports  filed by the
           registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the  Securities
           Exchange  Act  of  1934 that  are  incorporated by  reference  in the
           registration statement.
 
       (2) That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under  the
           Securities  Act of 1933, each  such post-effective amendment shall be
           deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the  securities
           offered  therein, and  the offering of  such securities  at that time
           shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
       (3) To remove from  registration by means  of a post-effective  amendment
           any  of the  securities being registered  which remain  unsold at the
           termination of the offering.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
of  1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to  the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the  registrant
has  been advised that in the opinion  of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against  public policy as expressed  in the Act and  is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses  incurred
or  paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the registrant in the
successful defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by  such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the question whether such indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

PROSPECTUS
 
                                 750,000 SHARES
 
                                 N-VISION, INC.
 
    This  Prospectus relates to  the offering of 750,000  shares of Common Stock
offered by three  persons who  are nonaffiliated with  the Company,  hereinafter
collectively  referred to  as "Selling  Security-holders," in  connection with a
convertible loan to the Company of $250,000 in March 1996. The Common Stock  may
not  be  transferred  for  eighteen  (18) months  from  the  date  hereof unless
permitted sooner by Stratton Oakmont, Inc., and such securities include a legend
with such restrictions. Stratton Oakmont,  Inc. may release the securities  held
by  the Selling Security-holders at any time after all securities subject to the
Over-allotment  Option  have  been  sold   or  such  option  has  expired.   See
"Description of Securities" and "Selling Security-holders."
 
    The Common Stock offered by this Prospectus may be sold from time to time by
the   Selling  Security-holders,  or  by   their  transferees.  No  underwriting
arrangements have  been  entered  into  by  the  Selling  Security-holders.  The
distribution  of the securities by the  Selling Security-holders may be effected
in one or more transactions that  may take place on the over-the-counter  market
including  ordinary broker's transactions,  privately-negotiated transactions or
through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such shares as principals  at
market  prices  prevailing  at the  time  of  sale, at  prices  related  to such
prevailing market  prices  or  at  negotiated prices.  Usual  and  customary  or
specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling
Security-holders in connection with sales of such securities.
 
    The Selling Security-holders and intermediaries through whom such securities
may  be sold may be deemed "underwriters" within the meaning of the Security Act
of 1933, as amended  ("Securities Act") with respect  to the securities  offered
and  any profits  realized or  commissions received  may be  deemed underwriting
compensation. The Company has agreed  to indemnify the Selling  Security-holders
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
    On  the date  hereof, the  Company commenced  pursuant to  this registration
statement an initial  public offering of  1,300,000 shares of  Common Stock  and
1,200,000 Class A Warrants. See "Concurrent Sales."
 
    The  Company  will not  receive any  of the  proceeds from  the sale  of the
securities  by  the  Selling  Security-holders.   All  costs  incurred  in   the
registration  of the securities of the  Selling Security-holders are being borne
by the Company. See "Selling Security-holders."
 
   
    Stratton  Oakmont,   Inc.  and   Renaissance  Financial   Securities   Corp.
("Underwriters")  from  time to  time will  become  market makers  and otherwise
effect transactions in  the securities  of this offering.  The Underwriters,  if
they  participate in the market, may become an influence and thereafter a factor
of increasing importance in the market for the securities. However, there is  no
assurance  that  the  Underwriters will  or  will  continue to  be  a dominating
influence. The  prices and  liquidity  of the  securities may  be  significantly
affected  by  the degree,  if any,  of the  Underwriters' participation  in such
market as a market  maker. The Underwriters may  discontinue such market  making
activities at any time or from time to time.
    
 
    The  Company does not presently file  reports and other information with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"). However, following completion
of the initial public offering, the Company intends to furnish its  stockholders
with  annual reports  containing audited  financial statements  and such interim
reports, in each case as  it may determine to furnish  or as may be required  by
law.
 
AN  INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES  OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A  HIGH DEGREE OF RISK
AND IMMEDIATE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF THE  BOOK VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK  AND
  SHOULD  BE CONSIDERED  ONLY BY  PERSONS WHO CAN  AFFORD THE  LOSS OF THEIR
            ENTIRE INVESTMENT. SEE "RISK FACTORS" AND "DILUTION."
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE  NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR DISAPPROVED BY  THE SECURITIES  AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION
   OR  ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
     OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
                                    OFFENSE.

                                CONCURRENT SALES
 
    On  the  date  of  this  Prospectus,  a  registration  statement  under  the
Securities  Act with respect to an  underwritten public offering ("Offering") of
1,300,000 shares of Common Stock and  1,200,000 Class A Warrants by the  Company
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"),
Washington,  D.C. 20549,  and the Company  commenced the sale  of the securities
offered thereby.  Sales  of  the  750,000 shares  of  Common  Stock  under  this
Prospectus  by the Selling Security-holders or  even the potential of such sales
may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company's securities.
 
                            SELLING SECURITY-HOLDERS
 
   
    The registration  statement, of  which this  Prospectus forms  a part,  also
covers  the  registration of  750,000 shares  of Common  Stock offered  by three
persons  who  are  nonaffiliated  with  the  Company,  hereinafter  collectively
referred  to  as  "Selling  Security-holders,"  to  wit:  Messrs.  Ross Portenoy
(300,000 shares),  Steven  Madden  (247,500  shares)  and  Todd  Stone  (202,500
shares).  The  securities  held  by the  Selling  Security-holders  may  be sold
commencing eighteen (18)  months from the  date of this  Prospectus, subject  to
earlier  release at the sole discretion of the Underwriters, and such securities
include a  legend  with such  restrictions.  The Underwriters  may  release  the
securities held by the Selling Security-holders at any time after all securities
subject  to the Over-allotment Option have been sold or such option has expired.
The resale of  the securities  of the  Selling Security-holders  are subject  to
Prospectus  delivery and  other requirements of  the Securities Act  of 1933, as
amended. Sales of such securities or the potential of such sales at any time may
have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities offered hereby.
    
 
    The 750,000  shares  of  Common  Stock are  being  offered  by  the  Selling
Security-holders  under an alternate Prospectus. Prior to making the convertible
loan to  the  Company,  the  Selling Security-holders  did  not  own  any  other
securities  of the Company. None of  the Selling Security-holders of the Company
are otherwise affiliated  with the  Company, at the  time of  making the  bridge
loan,  at the time of  this offering or at any  other time. The Company believes
that its  financial  transactions with  the  Selling Security-holders  served  a
legitimate  business  purpose, I.E.,  providing needed  working capital  for the
Company, and were  fair and  reasonable under the  circumstances. The  Company's
financial  transactions  with  the  Selling  Security-holders  were  managed  by
Stratton Oakmont, Inc.  and no commissions  or other remuneration  were paid  to
Stratton  Oakmont,  Inc.  in  connection with  such  transactions.  See "Certain
Transactions" and "Description of Securities."
 
    The securities offered hereby may be sold from time to time directly by  the
Selling  Security-holders. Alternatively, the  Selling Security-holders may from
time to time offer such securities through underwriters, dealers or agents.  The
distribution  of securities by  the Selling Security-holders  may be effected in
one or more  transactions that may  take place on  the over-the-counter  market,
including  ordinary broker's transactions,  privately-negotiated transactions or
through sales  to  one or  more  broker-dealers for  resale  of such  shares  as
principals,  at market prices prevailing at the  time of sale, at prices related
to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or
specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling
Security-holders in  connection  with  such sales  of  securities.  The  Selling
Security-holders and intermediaries through whom such securities are sold may be
deemed  "underwriters"  within  the  meaning  of the  Act  with  respect  to the
securities offered,  and any  profits realized  or commissions  received may  be
deemed underwriting compensation.
 
    At  the time a particular offer  of securities is made by  or on behalf of a
Selling  Security-holder,  to  the  extent   required,  a  Prospectus  will   be
distributed  which will  set forth  the number of  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 Security-holder  and any  discounts, commissions  or
concessions  allowed or reallowed  or paid to dealers,  and the proposed selling
price to the public.

    Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"),  and
the  regulations thereto, 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 (nine  days) prior to  the commencement  of
such  distribution. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling
Security-holders will be subject  to applicable provisions  of the Exchange  Act
and  the rules  and regulations  thereunder, including  without limitation, Rule
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 Security-holders.
 
    Sales of securities by the Selling Security-holders or even the potential of
such  sales  may likely  have  an adverse  effect on  the  market prices  of the
securities offered hereby. Following the closing of this offering, the  publicly
tradeable  securities of the Company  ("public float"), including this offering,
will be  2,050,000  shares of  Common  Stock  and 1,200,000  Class  A  Warrants,
provided,  however, that  750,000 shares  of Common  Stock owned  by the Selling
Security-holders are not transferable for eighteen (18) months commencing on the
effective date of this Prospectus or at such earlier date as may be permitted by
Stratton  Oakmont,  Inc.,  and  such  securities  include  a  legend  with  such
restrictions.  Stratton Oakmont,  Inc. may release  such securities  held by the
Selling Security-holders  at  any  time  after all  securities  subject  to  the
Over-allotment  Option have been sold or such  option has expired. The resale of
the securities  of  the  Selling  Security-holders  are  subject  to  Prospectus
delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Sales
of  such securities  or the  potential of  such sales  at any  time may  have an
adverse effect on the market prices of the securities offered hereby.

    The securities offered hereby may be sold from time to time directly by  the
Selling  Security-holders. Alternatively, the  Selling Security-holders may from
time to time offer such securities through underwriters, dealers or agents.  The
distribution  of securities by  the Selling Security-holders  may be effected in
one or more  transactions that may  take place on  the over-the-counter  market,
including  ordinary broker's transactions,  privately-negotiated transactions or
through sales  to  one or  more  broker-dealers for  resale  of such  shares  as
principals, including Stratton Oakmont, Inc., at market prices prevailing at the
time  of  sale,  at  prices  related to  such  prevailing  market  prices  or at
negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees
or commissions may be  paid by the Selling  Security-holders in connection  with
such  sales  of  securities.  The  Selling  Security-holders  and intermediaries
through whom such securities  are sold may be  deemed "underwriters" within  the
meaning  of the Securities Act  with respect to the  securities offered, and any
profits  realized   or  commissions   received   may  be   deemed   underwriting
compensation.
 
    At  the time a particular offer  of securities is made by  or on behalf of a
Selling  Security-holder,  to  the  extent   required,  a  Prospectus  will   be
distributed which will set forth the number of shares and warrants being offered

dealers or agents, if any, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for shares
and warrants  purchased  from the  Selling  Security-holder and  any  discounts,
commissions  or concessions  allowed or  reallowed or  paid to  dealers, and the
proposed selling price to the public.
 
    Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"),  and
the  regulations thereto, 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 (nine  days) prior to  the commencement  of
such  distribution. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling
Security-holders will be subject  to applicable provisions  of the Exchange  Act
and  the rules  and regulations  thereunder, including  without limitation, Rule
10b-6 and  10b-7, in  connection  with transactions  in such  securities,  which
