                                     PURPOSE

     On February 27, 2002, the Board of Directors of Emergisoft Holding, Inc., a
Nevada  corporation (the "Registrant")  approved a twenty-for-one  reverse stock
split (the  "Reverse  Stock  Split"),  of the  Registrant's  common stock which,
pursuant to the  Registrant's  2001  Incentive  Stock Option Plan (the  "Plan"),
decreased the registered shares of common stock of the Registrant  available for
issuance  under the Plan from  18,000,000  to 900,000  post-Reverse  Stock Split
common  shares  of  Registrant.  On July 19,  2002,  the Board of  Directors  of
Registrant  voted to  increase  the  registered  shares of  common  stock of the
Registrant available for issuance under the Plan from 900,000 post-Reverse Stock
Split common shares of Registrant to 3,000,000  post-Reverse  Stock Split common
shares of Registrant.  This Form S-8 concerns the registration of the additional
2,100,000  post-Reverse  Stock Split common shares of Registrant  made available
for issuance under the Plan.
