PROSPECTUS                                                                      

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

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

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

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

THE COMPANY   

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION   

The summary financial information set forth below is derived from and     
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements,       
including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. In         
October 1994, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of National       
Arbitration & Mediation, Inc., a New York corporation ("National"). The         
financial information presented below includes the results of operations of     
National as if the Company and National had been combined as of July 1, 1994.

(2) From inception through October 1994 National elected to be taxed as an      
S-corporation under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue   
Code of 1986. Effective October 1994 National's S-corporation election  
was voluntarily revoked, subjecting National to corporate income taxes  
subsequent to that date. Pro forma net income and pro forma net income  
 per common share represent the Company's position as if National had been
a C-corporation for all relevant periods.                               

(3) As adjusted to give effect to the issuance of 1,250,000 Units offered by

RISK FACTORS  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE COMPANY   

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

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: National, National Video 
Conferencing, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NV"), formed in April 1995, and    
Michael Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MM"), formed on November      
15, 1991. NV was formed to be a reseller of video conferencing equipment. MM    
provides in-house advertising services to the Company and enables the Company   
to obtain advertising at discounted rates.                                      

The Company's executive offices are currently located at 1010 Northern    
Boulevard, Suite 336, Great Neck, New York 11021 and its telephone number is    
(516) 829-4343.                                                                 

USE OF PROCEEDS   

By the Company. The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the   
sale of the Units offered hereby by the Company after deducting the             
Underwriters' discount and all applicable expenses, are estimated to be         
$4,005,000 ($4,735,800, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full).     
The Company currently anticipates applying the proceeds approximately as        
follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OFFER BY THE SELLING PRIVATE PLACEMENT STOCKHOLDERS   
AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION  

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

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

DIVIDEND POLICY   

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

DILUTION  

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

                                                                [Download Table]

                                                                      -----

Dilution per share to new investors .................................         $2.81

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

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

was voluntarily revoked, subjecting National to corporate income taxes  
subsequent to that date. Pro forma net income and pro forma net income

a C-corporation for all relevant periods.

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

GENERAL                                                                         

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

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

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

FUTURE TRENDS                                                                   

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

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

                               ============    ======   ============    ======


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

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

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

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

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

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES                                                 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD                                               

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

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

BUSINESS  

GENERAL                                                                         

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

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

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

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

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

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

SERVICES OFFERED                                                                

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MARKETING AND SALES                                                             

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

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

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

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

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

EXPANSION PLANS                                                                 

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

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

COMPETITION                                                                     

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

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

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

GOVERNMENT REGULATION                                                           

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

EMPLOYEES/HEARING OFFICERS                                                      

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

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

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

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS                                                               

There is no material litigation currently pending against the Company.    

PROPERTIES                                                                      

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

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

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

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

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS                                                           

Mr. Israel has an employment agreement with the Company that expires June 
30, 1997. Pursuant to the agreement, he currently receives an annual base       
salary of $93,713, an annual five percent (5%) cost of living increase and a    
bonus of four percent (4%) of the Company's quarterly pretax profit. In         
addition, the agreement provides for a life insurance policy of $2 million,     
with $1 million in favor of the Company and $1 million in favor of the estate   
of Mr. Israel. If Mr. Israel is terminated without cause, he is entitled to     
receive a lump sum payment consisting of his base salary for a six month        
period and two bonus payments equal to the average bonus payment over the       
four preceding quarters. If the Company breaches the agreement, Mr. Israel is   
entitled to resign and to receive as a lump sum all monies payable under the    
remaining term of the Agreement. The agreement also contains a one-year         
non-compete if the agreement is terminated for any reason or expires.           

Ms. Sanders has an employment agreement with the Company that expires June

annual five percent (5%) cost of living increase. The agreement also contains

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS                                       

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

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

STOCK OPTION PLAN                                                               

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS  

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

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

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES   

UNITS                                                                           

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

COMMON STOCK                                                                    

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

PREFERRED STOCK                                                                 

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

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

DIVIDENDS                                                                       

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

REDEEMABLE WARRANTS                                                             

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

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

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

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

TRANSFER AGENT, WARRANT AGENT AND REGISTRAR                                     

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

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE   

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

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

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

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

UNDERWRITING  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT  

The Board of Directors and Stockholders                                         
NAM Corporation:                                                                

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

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

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

NAM CORPORATION   
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  

(1) NATURE OF BUSINESS                                                          

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

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                  

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

(a) Basis of Presentation                                                       

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

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

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

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

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

(b) Statement of Cash Flows                                                     

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

(c) Revenue Recognition                                                         

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

(d) Deferred Offering Costs                                                     

Deferred offering costs as of June 30, 1995, included certain expenses          
associated with an initial public offering which was abandoned in October       
1995. At that time, the Company changed its underwriter and counsel and the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  - (Continued)   

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  - (Continued)                   

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

(e) Furniture & Equipment                                                       

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

(f) Organizational Costs                                                        

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

(g) Income Taxes                                                                

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(3) SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE                                               

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

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

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

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

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

(6) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS                                                       

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

The Company's Executive Vice President entered into a two-year employment       
contract with the Company commencing June 1996, whereby she shall receive a     
base salary of $90,000 during each of the two years. Additionally, the          
employment agreement provides for a 5 percent annual cost of living increase    
(based on prior years salary).                                                  

(7) DIVIDENDS                                                                   

The Company authorized a 25% stock dividend (631,250 shares issued), effected   
in a form of a stock split, to all stockholders of record on February 1,        
1995. Effective March 29, 1996, the Company authorized a 1 for 2 reverse        
stock split, net of 14.436% stock dividend.                                     

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

(8) STOCK PLAN                                                                  

The Company adopted an Executive Stock Bonus Plan in June of 1994. Under the    
plan, the Company has granted 58,202 shares to three employees pursuant to      
their employment agreements, which included 21,458 shares to Carla Israel,      
17,165 shares to Daniel Jansen and 19,579 shares to Robyn Aberbach. All of      
the shares vest after providing two to five years of service to the Company     
from the grant date. An additional 40,445 shares were granted to Carla Israel   
in February 1995, which vest on July 1, 1996. The estimate market value per     
share at date of grant was $.01. These amounts were recorded as unearned        
compensation and are shown as a separate component of stockholders' deficit.    
No shares have been vested as of June 30, 1996. The Company recognized          
compensation expense of $444 and $769 during the years ended June 30, 1995      
and 1996, respectively, representing the amortization of unearned               
compensation over the vesting period.                                           

In addition, on September 12, 1994, the Company granted Leonard Pudt,           
Regional Manager, pursuant to his employment agreement, 42,913 shares of        
restricted common stock of the Company for the purchase price of $0.17 a        
share. Mr. Pudt vested in the first 7,152 shares of common stock, which were    
issued to him on June 1, 1996 and will vest in the rest on June 1, 1999.        

On December 7, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Leon Katz, a    
hearing officer to the Company, whereby Mr. Katz has a contractual right to     
receive 6,500 shares of restricted common stock or $26,000

Effective May 26, 1996, the Company adopted a 1996 Incentive and Nonqualified   
Stock Option Plan for employees, officers, directors, consultants and           
advisors of the Company pursuant to which the Company may grant options to      
purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock subsequent to the   
completion of the IPO. The Company has not issued any options under this        
plan, however, an employee of the Company and two hearing officers have been    
granted a contractual right under their agreements to receive a total of        
options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock, respectively, if they are    
still providing services to the Company on a certain anniversary date           
subsequent to the IPO.                                                          

(11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS                                                          

Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company intends to complete the IPO. The       
offering is expected to consist of 1,250,000 Units, each Unit consisting of     
one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant exercisable at 150% of     
the initial public offering price for shares of common stock. The redeemable    
warrant redemption price and period will be based on the price of the           
Company's common stock one year after the offering. Additionally, the Company   
intends to issue to the underwriter additional warrants which enable the        
underwriter to acquire 140,000 Units for 120% of the initial public offering    
price per share of common stock.
