Such documents and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act. PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference The following documents filed by iBIZ Technology Corporation (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") (SEC File Number 000-27619) are incorporated by reference herein, except to the extent that any statement or information therein is modified, superceded or replaced by a statement or information contained in any other subsequently filed document incorporated herein by reference: (a) the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001 filed on February 27, 2002; (b) the Registrant's Form 10SB-12G filed on December 15, 1999 and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), since December 15, 1999 through the date hereof; (c) any document filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof, but prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all shares of Common Stock registered hereunder have been sold or that deregisters all such shares of Common Stock then remaining unsold, such documents being deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Item 4. Description of Securities Not applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel Mark L. Baum, Esq., does consulting work for iBIZ Technology Corporation from time to time. Specifically, Mr. Baum is currently engaged to perform various services or the Registrant, and he shall assist in the efforts so stated in the consulting agreement attached hereto. For his efforts, Mr. Baum is being compensated through stock options in the amounts stated in the same consulting agreement. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers iBIZ's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, a director or officer of iBIZ shall not be personally liable to iBIZ or its shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of iBIZ's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate the right of iBIZ and its shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of iBIZ) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. iBIZ believes that the indemnification provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Experts The consolidated financial statements of the Company appearing in the Company's Annual Report (Form 10-KSB) for the year ended October 31, 2001 have been audited by Moffitt & Co., certified public accounts, as set forth in their report thereon included therein and incorporated herein by reference. Reference is made to said report, which includes explanatory paragraphs that describe the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, discussed in the notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Such financial statements are incorporated herein in reliance upon the reports of Moffitt & Co., CPA, pertaining to such financial statements (to the extent filed with the Commission) given upon the authority of such firm as experts in giving such reports. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits The Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the index to Exhibits on page 9. Item 9. Undertakings (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933: (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement: (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraph (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraph is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendments shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by mean of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereunder that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the company's annual report pursuant to Section 13 (a) or Section 15 (d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the above-described 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
