·in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture; or
·in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.
Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to 5:00 P.M. eastern time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required exercise price by the methods provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate, and in the applicable prospectus supplement, the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.
Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants.
Enforceability of Rights By Holders of Warrants
Any warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action the holder’s right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants in accordance with their terms.
Warrant Agreement Will Not Be Qualified Under Trust Indenture Act
No warrant agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no warrant agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act. Therefore, holders of warrants issued under a warrant agreement will not have the protection of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to their warrants.
Governing Law

Horowitz, (516) 872-0650. 2 THE COMPANY Since November 1, 1993, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries IMSG Systems, Inc. ("IMSG") and IMSG's affiliated companies, National Copy Corp., Capital Copy Corp. and Advanced Business Systems, Inc., has been engaged in the business of owning, leasing, operating and servicing coin and debit card pay-per-copy photocopiers and microfilm reader-printers and accessory equipment. The Company operates its copiers in various states throughout the Eastern United States, Wisconsin and Illinois in differing sites including libraries, courthouses, colleges, drug stores, office supply stores and similar high traffic outlets. The Company has over 2,400 copiers at various locations. Generally, the Company is responsible for the collection of payments from each site and, at most locations, the site operators share in the revenues derived from the copy sales at their site. The Company has the ability to service and repair its copiers seven days a week. Users can pay per copy by inserting coins in the copier or by using a debit access card, which the user may purchase at the site of the copier. The Company commenced its Smart Switch-TM- fax operations in April 1995, upon the acquisition of the Smart Switch assets of Faxit Corporation. The Company either owns or leases "off the shelf" fax machines onto which it installs a dialer, preprogrammed to call the Smart Switch. The Smart Switch, a computerized switching device located at a central location (either on-site or at the Company's offices), has an automated switching system to permit the use of any "off the shelf" fax machine as a public fax machine. Billing of a public fax message is effected without the need for human intervention or the incorporation of a high cost credit card reading device into the fax machine. The Smart Switch software gives the Company the capacity to offer a variety of fax and voice services for hotels, libraries and airline lounges, and domestic and international fax transmission services. The Smart Switch permits hotels to offer in-room fax machines for guests' confidential use, thereby converting each room into a "Smart Suite". The Smart Switch software has been upgraded by the Company following its acquisition to permit billing of the useryou should not only through the user's credit card but also by billing to the user's hotel bill either by a transfer of the billing information to the hotel's computer or by a scanning of calls to listen for a fax tone. The Company has recently commenced marketing of the Smart Switch and has placed a small number of units under lease at hotels, airport lounges, libraries and colleges, principally in the Northeast. Customers include the Western Hotel (formerly the Grand Hotel) in Washington D.C. and TWA Ambassador Lounges. The term of the agreements range from one to four years, and the hotel, airline lounge or other party is responsible to pay the Company for the cost of the equipment as well as per minute usage charge. In November 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") to jointly market the Company's in-room fax servicesrely on an exclusive basis to AT&T hotel accounts. There can be no assurance that any material sales or leases will result from this agreement or that AT&T will not terminate such agreement. The Company currently has 157 units installed, and has derived approximately $32,000 in sales revenues from these operations through July 31, 1996. The executive offices of the Company are located at 39 Stringham Avenue, Valley Stream, New York 11580. The telephone number is (516) 872-0650. 3 THE OFFERING Securities Offered:.................. 2,216,538 shares of Common Stock.

Only those persons economically able to lose their entire investment should purchase these securities. Prospective investors, prior to making an investment decision, should carefully consider, along with other matters referred to herein, the following risk factors. HISTORY OF LOSSES AND ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. The Company has incurred net losses for the fiscal years ended November 30, 1994 and 1995 of $1,165,627 and $3,218,962, respectively, and $629,109 for the six month period ended May 31, 1996. At May 31, 1996, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,430,023. No assurance can be given that the Company will not continue to report losses on an annual basis or that the Company's business operations will ultimately prove to be profitable. In the event such losses continue, the Company would be required to seek to raise additional financing. If additional funds are not available, the Company may be required to curtail or discontinue some of its operations. WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS. At May 31, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $827,397. In view of the Company's operating losses and need for capital to finance the purchase of capital equipment and to market the Smart Switch, such working capital deficiency may increase. Also, the cash requirements needed to pursue opportunities or to address problems not now anticipated may put a strain on the Company's available cash resources. In April 1996, May 1996 and June 1996, Dr. Irwin A. Horowitz, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, loaned an aggregate of $150,000 to the Company. There is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company if required or that capital, if any, will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company is dependent upon the services of its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Dr. Irwin A. Horowitz, and of Mario DiNatale, the President of the subsidiary of the Company conducting Smart Switch operations and a director of the Company, for the successful operation and development of its business. Dr. Horowitz and Mr. DiNatale have employment contracts with the Company through November 1997 and March 1997, respectively. The loss of services of either Dr. Horowitz or Mr. DiNatale could materially and adversely affect its operations. In addition, in order to market, produce and upgrade its products, the Company will have to attract and retain additional technically qualified personnel with backgrounds in engineering, production and marketing. The Company currentlyit. This prospectus does not maintain key man life insurance on the life of either Dr. Horowitz or Mr. DiNatale. UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF SMART SWITCH. In connection with its Smart Switch, the Company faces the types of problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which are frequently encountered by a company tryingoffer to introduce a new line of products to the market. The Company only has limited operating experience with the Smart Switch and, to date, revenues derived from the Smart Switch have been minimal. The initial results from the Company's Smart Switch operations have varied. A number of hotels, airport lounges, libraries and colleges have installed and are currently utilizing the Smart Switch. A number of other hotels, which primarily installed the Smart Switch on a trial basis, have canceled or determined not to permanently install such machines, apparently primarily due to insufficient usage by guests. The Company believes that these hotels did not adequately market to their guests the availability of the fax machines. While other customers are generally showing a greater degree of usage, there can be no assurance that there will not be a material amount of cancellations, or that significant new orders will develop so as to make the Smart Switch operations of the Company profitable. There can be no assurance that the Smart Switch services will gain broad market acceptance. In November 1995 the Company entered 5 into an agreement with AT&T to jointly market the Company's in-room fax services on an exclusive basis to AT&T hotel accounts. There can be no assurance thatsell any material sales or leases will result from this agreement or that AT&T will not terminate the agreement. NO MARKET RESEARCH OF POTENTIAL DEMAND FOR SMART SWITCH. The Company has neither conducted nor have others made available to the Companyshares in any results of market research that would give management sufficient information to estimate potential demand for its Smart Switch with certainty. There can be no assurance that sufficient market penetration can be achieved or the planned placement of the Company's equipment will be absorbed by the market in the event such demand can be identified. COMPETITION. COPIERS. The Company markets its copier services to those users who need to copy documents, books, and other materials that are located at the sitesjurisdiction where the Company's copiers have been placed. Other companies that offer similar services include Continental Copy Products Limited, Dual Office Suppliers, Inc., Boston Copico and Compucopy. Each of these competitors competes with the Company in a different limited geographic region. Continental Copy Products Limited principally conducts operations in Connecticut and downstate New York; Dual Office Supplies principally conducts operations in Illinois; Boston Copico principally conducts operations in Massachusetts, Connecticut and downstate New York; and Compucopy principally conducts operations in southern Florida. Competition between companiesit is generally based on price and quality of service offered. FAX MACHINES. The public fax business is in an early stage of development. The Company does not know of any other company that offers a computer software switching device which can convert any "off-the-shelf" fax machine into a public fax. The Company's principal competitors must physically reconfigure each fax machine they install using a procedure that can only be used on a particular model of fax machine in which they usually specialize (the same procedure cannot be used on different models). AlphaNet, the Company's largest competitor, is able to reconfigure a particular model thermal paper fax machine and has placed these reconfigured machines at a large number of locations. Other competitors, Teledex and Action Fax, offer products which do not currently offer the various features of the Company's Smart Switch, such as the range of useable fax machines, customized billing by floor or room and voice mail. In general, AlphaNet competes in all of the Company's markets while Teledex and Action Fax offer only limited competition and are located in limited markets. Competition between companies is generally based on price and quality of service offered. It should be noted, however, that if the public fax business generates substantial profits and appears to be capable of significant growth, other companies with greater resources than the Company's may enter the business and present intense competition. The Company believes that if this were to occur, it could expect to encounter significant competition from two general areas: (i) other companies organized to provide public facsimile transmission services and/or equipment; and (ii) assisted facsimile transmission services. In addition, it should be noted that facsimile transmission also competes with alternative methods of document delivery, principally overnight small package express services such as Federal Express and United Parcel Service, as well as the United States Post Office Express Mail Service. In all of the foregoing areas, virtually all competitors can be expected to be considerably better established and larger than the Company in total assets and resources. CREDIT CARD REGULATIONS. The Company's business is dependent on its securing processing for its credit card transactions. Credit card companies establish the rules and regulations for processing eligibility and determine which businesses may accept their cards, and on what terms. While the Company's facsimile machines are presently processed through all major credit card companies, there can be no assurance that 6 in the future some or all credit card companies may not change the terms on or circumstances under which their credit cards will be accepted so as to adversely effect the business of the Company. GOVERNMENT REGULATION. There are no known federal or state regulations which regulate the public facsimile transmission business, other than the regulations of the telephone industry, whose services the Company utilizes. There can be no assurance that the Company's business will not be regulated in the future or that such regulations will not have an adverse effect upon the Company's profitability. LACK OF PATENT PROTECTION; TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES; RISK OF PRODUCT OBSOLESCENCE. COPIERS. The Company does not, in general, rely on patented technology with respect to its copier operations, although the Company does purchase and operate copiers which may contain patented technology. However, management believes that the proprietary nature of this technology does not affect the Company's operations. There can be no assurance, however, that patented technology will not affect the Company in the future if the Company is unable to obtain copiers that have a patented feature which make them more desirable than copiers currently being used by the Company or that will be acquired by the Company in the future. The Company is presently seeking a patent on a photocopy machine cover that allows books to be copied without damage to the binding. There is no assurance that a patent will be granted or that the patent will be of economic importance to the Company. FAX MACHINES. Although the Company has applied for a patent covering the technologies upon which the Company's Smart Switch systems are based, there is no assurance that the patent applied for will be issued or, if issued, will provide the Company with meaningful protection from competition, or that the Company will have the financial resources necessary to enforce any patent rights that it may have. Other companies may have been or may be involved in research and development which may lead to patents similar to or superior to those developed by the Company or relating to specific aspects of the Company's products and technologies, and the Company has not engaged counsel to determine whether its products in general are free from patent infringement. Unless so protected or protected by nondisclosure agreements, the Smart Switch is susceptible to being analyzed and reconstructed by an existing or potential competitor. The Company is not aware of any claims that its products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties. However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future, and the cost of responding to such assertions, regardless of their validity, could be significant. In addition, such claims may be found to be valid and could result in awards against the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. As a result, the cost to the Company of protecting its patent rights could be substantial. The market for the Company's public-fax products is characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. The Company's success will depend in large part on the Company having a technically competent staff and on its ability to anticipate changes in technology and industry standards and, to the extent such changes impact the Company's technology and products, to respond to market and technological developments on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to keep pace with the technological demands of the market place. Moreover, there can be no assurance that new products or technologies will not render the Company's Smart Switch less competitive or obsolete. DEPENDENCE ON SUPPLIERS. COPIERS. The Company currently purchases both new and used copiers from a variety of sources. The Company has not experienced any difficulties in obtaining equipment or parts and supplies and does not anticipate that there will be any problems obtaining any equipment, parts or supplies in the future. 7 FAX MACHINES. The Company assembles the Smart Switch by programming the Company's proprietary software into off-the-shelf computers and then leases the programmed computer together with off-the-shelf fax machines, telephones, dialers and components all of which are manufactured by other vendors. The Company purchases certain custom components and complete fax machines from single suppliers in order to obtain lower prices. In the past, the Company has had satisfactory relationships with its suppliers and has not experienced delays inunlawful. Neither the delivery of components or public-fax machines. The Company generally does not maintain supply contracts with its suppliers and purchases components pursuant to purchase ordersthis prospectus, nor any sale made hereunder, shall create any implication that the information in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that there are a number of other suppliers for the components that it uses. The Company has not experienced any difficulties in obtaining equipment or parts and supplies and, although there can be no assurance thereof, does not anticipate that there will be any problems obtaining any equipment, parts or supplies in the future. DEPENDENCE ON CERTAIN CUSTOMERS; RECENT LOSS OF LARGE CUSTOMER. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 1994 and 1995, revenue derived from two of the Company's copier customers, a major library system in the City of New York and a large university located in the southeastern United States, amounted to approximately 21.9% and 24.7%, respectively, of the Company's revenues. The Company's contract with the large southeastern university, whichthis prospectus is not terminable at will, is for a term of one year (ending April 23, 1997) and is renewable at the parties' option for four additional one year terms. In general, customer accounts are maintained pursuant to contractual agreements that have terms ranging from three to five years. Currently, there are varying terms remaining on all of the Company's customer contracts, except for that with the major library system in the City of New York. In March 1996, the Company was not successful in its bid for the renewal of its contract with this library system, which provided approximately 12.3% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995. SEASONALITY. The Company's copier activities are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Revenues from copiers tend to be lower during the summer months of June through September and in the last weeks of December and the first week of January due to school and employee vacation patterns. Although the Company has a working capital deficit and cash flow tends to be tight in these periods of low revenue, the Company has not experienced severe cash flow difficulties. Seasonally slow periods are immediately preceded by periods of high volume of use, which generate increased cash flows. In addition, because the copier business is conducted primarily in cash, there is no lead time between sales and collections. Also fluctuations are regular and predictable, thereby allowing the Company to plan for such low revenue months. Historically, the President of the Company has advanced funds to the Company when needed so that it could meet its day to day cash obligations, although there can be no assurance he will continue to do so in the future. Finally, many creditors have typically allowed the Company to forbear during these slow months, although there can be no assurance they will continue to do so in the future. POTENTIAL DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON MARKET PRICE DUE TO FUTURE SALES OF COMMON STOCK. 7,715,304 shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (excluding, for this purpose, the shares registered hereby). Ordinarily, under Rule 144, a person holding restricted securities for a period of two years may, every three months, sell in ordinary brokerage transactions or in transactions directly with a market maker an amount equal to the greater of one percent of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company and who has satisfied a three year holding period. At least 6,334,445 of such 7,715,304 shares are currently eligible for sale under Rule 144. In addition, the 2,216,538 shares of Common Stock registered hereby may now be sold into the open market, subject to an agreement of holders of an aggregate of 1,961,841 shares to sell no more than 8 25% of their shares within six months ofcorrect after the date of this Prospectus, no more than an additional 25% within the following three months and no more than an additional 25% during the next three months. Furthermore, there is an aggregate of 1,660,000 shares of Common Stock underlying warrants and stock options issued by the Company, which shares may ultimately be sold into the open market. The sale of a large number of shares in the open market is likely to have a depressive effect on the market price of the Common Stock. POSSIBILITY OF DELISTING FROM NASDAQ. The Company's Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ System. To remain listed with NASDAQ, companies are required to have not less than $2,000,000 in total assets and $1,000,000 in capital and surplus. As of May 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $5,413,195 and $3,857,402 in stockholder equity. In the event the Company is unable to continue to meet the NASDAQ requirements for continued listing, trading, if any, in the Common Stock would thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market in the so-called "pink sheets" or the NASD's "Electronic Bulletin Board," and it would be more difficult to dispose of the Common Stock or to obtain as favorable a price for the Common Stock. Thus, the liquidity of the Common Stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of Common Stock that could be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions. PENNY STOCK REGULATION Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If the Common Stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, investors may find it more difficult to sell the Common Stock. CONTROL OF THE COMPANY. Dr. Irwin Horowitz, President of the Company, presently owns 6,310,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 44.7% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and effectively controls the Company. Due to this control, Dr. Horowitz will be able to control or influence such actions as election of directors and the authorization of certain transactions that require shareholder approval and be able to otherwise control the Company's policies without concurrence of the Company's other shareholders. COMPANY PARTY TO LAWSUITS. The Company is involved in the following legal proceedings: (1) The Company has instituted an action to enforce a restrictive covenant against a former employee. The employee's current employer has counterclaimed for $1,750,000 based upon an alleged unfair or trade practice in seeking to prevent it from employing the employee; and (2) The Company is a party to a suit for 9 $228,670, brought by former creditors to the Company, which amount the Company believes is payable in Common Stock but the plaintiff is seeking cash in lieu of Common Stock. DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK NOT LIKELY. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. For the foreseeable future it is anticipated that earnings, if any, which may be generated from the Company's operations will be used to finance the growth of the Company and that cash dividends will not be paid to holders of shares of Common Stock. USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not realize any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock which may be sold under this Prospectus. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by each of the selling stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") as of August 9, 1996.
