Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

      On August 18, 2005, the Registrant closed a transaction effecting the sale
of the outsourcing consulting business of the Registrant's subsidiary, dsIT
Technologies Ltd., to Taldor Computer Systems (1986) Ltd. The operations which
were sold are comprised of dsIT's business of providing computer software and
systems professionals on a time and materials basis to clients in Israel. The
sale was made pursuant to the previously announced definitive agreement entered
into between Taldor and the dsIT Technologies shareholders on July 27, 2005.

      Prior to the consummation of the sale, dsIT Technologies completed a
spin-off of its project development and solutions activities to certain of its
current shareholders. The Registrant owns 80% of the entity, which will continue
to conduct these activities. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, at the
closing Taldor received a warrant to purchase 10% of this entity.

      The transaction was structured as a sale to Taldor of all the shares of
dsIT Technologies. The terms of the sale provide for an aggregate purchase price
$6.0 million, of which approximately $5.65 was paid in cash and the balance by
the transfer of dsIT Technologies net liabilities. Approximately $0.5 million of
the cash consideration was placed in escrow and will be released to the sellers
if and to the extent certain conditions set forth in the agreement are met.

      At the closing, the Registrant received approximately $3.5 million as its
share of the gross proceeds paid at closing.
