Mr. Leifheit is also a Director of both the Company and the Subsidiary. The principal business of the Subsidiary is providing electronic Customer Relations Management (CRM) solutions as an outsourcing option to e-commerce companies from its call center in Jacksonville, Florida. The address of the Company is set forth in Item 1 above, and the address of the Subsidiary is 1650A Gum Branch Road, Jacksonville, North Carolina 28540.

(f)	Mr. Leifheit is a United States citizens.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        The securities described in this report were issued in consideration of the merger between the Subsidiary and E-com Acquisition Corp., a North Carolina corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 21, 2000, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby the Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Subsidiary (the “Merger”). The aggregate merger consideration (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”) to the Subsidiary’s shareholders consisted of shares of newly-created Series B Preferred Stock, Anti-Dilution Warrants and Performance Warrants (as discussed below), and the right to receive as antidilution protection additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock in conjunction with future sales of securities by the Company. Prior to the Merger, Mr. Leifheit was the principal stockholder of the Subsidiary.

        Upon the Merger, the Company issued 4,100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which when converted, will convert into 8,200,000 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock votes on a two-for-one basis with the Common Stock on all matters (with a separate vote on matters directly affecting such Series), manditorily converts into two shares of Common Stock immediately following stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, will receive dividends declared on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock, and will have a liquidation preference of $5.00 per share.

        To protect against dilution to the Subsidiary’s former shareholders upon exercise of outstanding pre-Merger Paladyne options and warrants (the “Present Options/Warrants”), Paladyne granted to them Anti-Dilution Warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Paladyne Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.146 per share (subject to adjustment), vesting as to six-tenths (0.6) of a share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Present Options/Warrants, and expiring thirty (30) days after the later of (i) termination or exercise of all Present Options/Warrants, or (ii) notice from Paladyne as to the aggregate number of Present Options/Warrants that were exercised (the “Antidilution Warrants”).

        To give the Subsidiary’s former shareholders the opportunity to participate more directly in the future performance of Paladyne resulting from the acquired business of the Subsidiary, Paladyne granted to them Performance Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Paladyne Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.146 per share (subject to adjustment), exercisable for five years and vesting in 100,000 share tranches for each $20 million of net revenue increases, above $50 million annually, achieved in either year or both of the two (2) year periods ending January 31, 2002 and 2003 (the “Performance Warrants”). For the purpose of these awards, the measurement will be on a trailing 12-month basis, and with an acceptable gross margin (20% or greater) for each tranche to qualify.

         Mr. Leifheit personally owns 3,410,846 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or 6,821,692 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Leifheit personally has Warrants to purchase 3,743,611 shares of Common Stock.

Item 4.           Purpose of the Transaction.

        (a)      Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Subsidiary’s former shareholders and/or employees, including Mr. Leifheit, may acquire additional securities of the Company upon exercise of the Anti-Dilution Warrants, Performance Warrants and/or Options as described above in Item 3.

        In the event that the Stockholder Approval is not obtained by July 2, 2001 (which date may be extended by reason of delays in obtaining certain historical financial information of the Subsidiary), then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, including Mr. Leifheit, would have rights to designate directors who would comprise a majority of the Board of Directors and would have a 100% increase in their liquidation preference, until the Stockholder Approval is obtained.

        In addition, upon Paladyne’s sale of its securities, until Paladyne receives $6.5 million in cash, the Subsidiary’s former shareholders, including Mr. Leifheit, will receive .95 of a share of Paladyne Common Stock for each whole share of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion, exercise, or exchange of derivative securities sold in such placements.

        Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, Paladyne granted the Subsidiary’s shareholders, including Mr. Leifheit, one demand right together with piggyback rights to register under the Securities Act of 1933 the Common Stock underlying the securities comprising the Aggregate Merger Consideration. Paladyne would bear the related registration expenses and be subject to certain penalties should the demand registration not become effective within a prescribed time period.

        Pursuant to an Indemnification Escrow Agreement, Mr. Leifheit, the principal shareholder of the Subsidiary, and another shareholder of the Subsidiary, delivered into escrow securities representing approximately 25% of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as security for indemnification claims Paladyne may have under the Merger Agreement. The Company also agreed to reserve a number of shares of its Common Stock equal to 25% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the securities issued to the Subsidiary’s shareholders as a part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to secure its indemnification obligations to the Subsidiary’s former shareholders.

        Pursuant to a Lock-Up Agreement, Mr. Leifheit agreed not to publicly sell any of their Paladyne securities for a period of two years from the February 1, 2001 closing date, excluding the sale by each person of up to 10% of his fully diluted holdings on an annual basis, pursuant to a Lock-Up Agreement.

        Pursuant to a Voting Trust Agreement, Mr. Leifheit is the Voting Trustee of a Voting Trust with the sole power to vote 689,154 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to all of the Subsidiary’s former shareholders (other than Mr. Leifheit) as a result of the Merger. Mr. Leifheit is also the father of three of the Subsidiary’s former shareholders whose shares are included in the Voting Trust. If warrants are exercised by these former shareholders then these shares are to be added to the Voting Trust.

         (b)     Not applicable.

        (c)      Immediately prior to the Merger, the Subsidiary purchased from Gibralter Publishing, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Gibralter”) of which Mr. Leifheit is a principal shareholder, all of the tangible and intangible assets used in the Subsidiary’s call center operations, subject to related liabilities, pursuant to an Option Agreement as amended. Prior to the Merger, Gibralter had been operating the call center on behalf of the Subsidiary. The purchase price for these assets was $5 million, which is payable by the Subsidiary pursuant to two promissory notes issued to Gibralter, by one note for $1,500,000, repayable in five monthly principal installments of $25,000 commencing March 1, 2001, with the balance due on July 31, 2001, and the second note for $3,500,000, repayable in equal quarterly principal payments through January 1, 2004. Both notes bear interest at 10% per annum, are secured by the purchased assets and are guaranteed by Paladyne.

        A portion of these assets used by the Subsidiary in its call center operations consists of equipment which is leased by Gibralter pursuant to various equipment leases. Pending the receipt by Gibralter of lessor consents to the assignments of these leases to the Subsidiary, and in accordance with an Equipment Use Agreement entered into by Gibralter and the Subsidiary, Gibralter has granted to the Subsidiary the right to possess and use the equipment and the Subsidiary has agreed to assume and pay to the lessors the payments to be made by Gibralter pursuant to the leases.

        Under the terms of the Merger, should the Subsidiary default or otherwise fail to satisfy all of its obligations under the terms and conditions of the $1,500,000 promissory note on the maturity date thereof, including, without limitation, failure to make full payment of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest when due under the terms and conditions of such note, then unless Paladyne shall have satisfied all of the Subsidiary’s liabilities and obligations under the $1,500,000 note on or before the maturity date thereof, legal title to the assets shall immediately revert to Gibralter.

        (d)      At a Paladyne Board of Directors meeting held on February 1, 2001, following the closing of the Merger, the Board (i) authorized an increase in the number of directors to nine from seven (subject to a reduction back to seven as of February 15, 2001 when resignations of two current directors become effective) , (ii) elected Mr. Leifheit and William E. Willis Jr. to fill the newly created vacancies as Class II and Class I directors, respectively, (iii) elected as new officers Mr. Leifheit as President and Chief Operating Officer, Ronald L. Weindruch, who was President, became Executive Vice President, and Clifford A. Clark as Acting Chief Financial Officer, and (iv) added Mr. Willis to the Compensation Committee.

        Paladyne has agreed to call a meeting of stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval to electing directors, increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to have sufficient shares available for issuance upon conversion or exercise of the Merger Consideration, stock options and other corporate needs, and increasing the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the 1999 Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the event the Stockholder Approval is not obtained by July 2, 2001 (which date may be extended), then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled to certain additional rights described above in paragraph (a) of this Item 4.

        (e)      Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Subsidiary’s former shareholders and/or employees, including Mr. Leifheit, may acquire additional securities of the Company upon exercise of the Anti-Dilution Warrants, Performance Warrants and/or Options as described in Item 3 above.

        Paladyne has agreed to call a meeting of its stockholders to, among other things, authorize the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock as described above in paragraph (d) of this Item 4.

        (f)      As a result of the Merger, the Company has acquired the Subsidiary, the principal business of which is described above in Item 2(c).

        (g)      Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the event that the Stockholder Approval is not obtained by July 2, 2001 (which date may be extended), then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, including Mr. Leifheit, would be entitled to certain additional rights described above in paragraph (a) of this Item 4.

        In addition, upon the Company’s sale of its securities, the Subsidiary’s former shareholders, may receive addition shares of the Company’s Common Stock as described above in paragraph (a) of this Item 4.

         (h)  -   (j)     Not applicable.

Item 5.            Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        (a)      and (b) Terrence Leifheit beneficially owns (through ownership of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants) 6,821,690 shares of Common Stock of the Company, or 40.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company of which he has the sole power to dispose. Mr. Leifheit has sole power to vote 8,200,000 shares of Common Stock, 6,821,690 of which shares are held by Mr. Leifheit directly, and 1,378,310 of which shares are held in the Voting Trust of which Mr. Leifheit is the Voting Trustee as described above in Item 4. Mr. Leifheit has sole power to dispose of 6,821,690 shares of Common Stock. In addition, Mr. Leifheit has Warrants to purchase 3,743,611 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock.

         (c)     Not applicable.

        (d)      Other than as described under Item 5 (a and b) above, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

         (e)     Not applicable.

Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
