THIS PROXY STATEMENT CONTAINS CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTITIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. PROPOSAL 1 TO VOTE UPON THE RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF MORE THAN 735,011 SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK, UPON THE COMPLETION OF A PRIVATE OFFERING OF UP TO $5,000,000 WORTH OF UNITS (EACH UNIT CONSISTING OF ONE (1) SHARE OF COMMON STOCK AND A WARRANT TO PURCHASE ONE-HALF (1/2) OF ONE (1) SHARE OF COMMON STOCK) OR APPROXIMATELY 1,666,667 SHARES COMMON STOCK ASSUMING THE PURCHASE PRICE PER UNIT IS $3.00, WHICH WOULD REPRESENT AN ISSUANCE OF MORE THAN TWENTY PERCENT (20%) OF THE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AS OF THE RECORD DATE, AND THEREFORE WOULD REQUIRE SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL UNDER RULE 4460 OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS, INC. Rule 4460 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval for the issuance of securities involving the sale of twenty percent (20%) or more of its common stock at less than fair market value. Nasdaq may de-list the securities of any issuer that fails to obtain such Shareholder approval before the issuance of such securities. However, the corporate law of the Province of Ontario, the law under which the Company is incorporated, does not require any such Shareholder approval. Upon the effective date of the completion of the Private Offering, the Company may issue more than twenty percent (20%) of its then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company has recently expanded its operations into the United States, through among other things, its acquisitions of Cad Cam, Inc. and Object Arts Inc., and MicroTech, Inc. and intends to develop an expanded network of offices to provide its services throughout North America. The Company has recently developed a recruitment management product called GTS. GTS is a Web-based recruitment technology, which automates and electronically manages every step of the recruitment and hiring process. GTS is designed to address the skills shortage and helps clients satisfy their recruiting needs. GTS electronically manages and automates the entire enterprise-wide recruiting and hiring program. GTS coordinates, streamlines and manages all individual candidate sources and recruitment methods in real time, including job board postings, company Web sites, newspaper advertising, employee referrals, direct recruits and career fair. In addition, GTS is able to satisfy the human resource professionals' increasing demand for a wide range of critical metrics, including cost per hire and time per hire. In an effort to fully support the Company's expansion strategy and its commitment to the GTS system, the Company is in the process of raising capital through a private offering up to $3,000,000 worth of units, each unit consisting of one (1) share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one-half (1/2) of one share of common stock common stock. The Private Offering General The Company is offering (the "Offering") up to a minimum of$1,000,000 worth of units (the "Minimum Offering"), and a maximum of $3,000,000 worth of units (the "Maximum Offering"), each unit consisting of (a) one (1) share (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, no par value; and (b) a redeemable warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase one-half (1/2) of one (1) share of the Company's common stock (the Shares and the Warrants are collectively referred to as a "Unit"). Each two (2) Warrants shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the Purchase Price (as defined herein) for a period of five (5) years from the date of the final closing of the Offering. The Company and the Placement Agent (defined below) may, in their mutual discretion, increase the Offering to up to $5,000,000 worth of Units. The price per Unit shall be the lesser of: (a) $3.00; or (b) a ten percent (10%) discount to the closing bid price per share of the Company's common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, on the day immediately preceding the date of any closing of the Offering (the "Purchase Price"). The Company may call any unexercised Warrants and require their exercise if the shares of the Company's common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, close above the bid price indicated for any consecutive ten (10) business days: (a) one-third (1/3) of the Warrants at $6.00 per share; (b) one-third (1/3) of the Warrants at $7.50 per share; and (c) one-third (1/3) of the Warrants at $9.00 per share. Each call must follow the next by a minimum of thirty (30) days. Offers and sales of the Units will be made by KSH Investment Group, Inc (the "Placement Agent") on a "best efforts, all or nothing" basis with respect to the Minimum Offering, and on "best efforts" basis thereafter up to the Maximum Offering. Sales of the Units will be made only to "accredited investors," as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Included within the category of an accredited investor is any person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, exceeds $1,000,000, or who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two (2) most recent years, or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and who has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. Prospective investors that are not individuals must also meet specific criteria set forth in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The securities offered will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be "restricted securities," as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that the Company will issue more than twenty percent (20%) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Placement Agent, Fees and Commissions The Company has retained KSH Investment Group, Inc. to act as the Placement Agent for the Offering. The Placement Agent is a registered broker-dealer and a member of the NASD. The Company has agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash commission equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Units sold in the Offering. The Company shall also pay the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Units sold in the Offering, plus the reasonable professional fees, which shall be no more than $50,000, and the actual disbursements of counsel to the Placement Agent. The Company shall also issue to the Placement Agent's counsel, 2,500 warrants, each entitling the Placement Agent's counsel to purchase one (1) share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the Purchase Price (the "Counsel Warrants").
