<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><I>The following information discusses the most significant factors that makes an investment in our common stock risky or speculative. You should carefully
consider the following information in conjunction with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making a decision to invest in our common
stock.</I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Risks Particular to Internet Law</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>We have operated at a loss in recent periods and anticipate that losses will continue.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
September&nbsp;30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,144,253. We had a net operating loss of $612,214 during the period from November&nbsp;30, 1998, the date of our
inception, to June&nbsp;30, 1999, the end of our fiscal year. We also had a net operating loss of $532,039 for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 1999. We expect operating losses and negative
cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to incur significant operating expenses and make capital investments in our business. We may never generate sufficient revenues to
achieve profitability. Even if we do become profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>The competition in our industry is intense, our principal competitors have significantly greater resources than we do, and this competition may cause us to
lose customers and prevent us from attracting new customers.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
market for electronic legal information is currently dominated by LEXIS-NEXIS, which is owned by Reed-Elsevier, and West Group, a division of The Thomson Corporation. These
competitors are both large, well-established companies. They offer databases that are similar to or in some cases larger than the databases that we offer. While we have provided legal information for
approximately one year, LEXIS-NEXIS has been in operation for over 25 years and West Group has been in operation for over 100 years. Our competitors also have greater name recognition, larger customer
bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. This may enable them to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, to respond more quickly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. LEXIS-NEXIS and West Group have
significant penetration in the large law firm market, a market in which we intend to compete. Also, both LEXIS-NEXIS and West Group maintain web sites that offer access to their legal databases.
Although all of our legal information is in hypertext markup language, which is the standard format language used on the Internet, LEXIS-NEXIS and West Group are in the process of converting their
legal information into hypertext mark-up language, which may enable them to better serve their customers.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, we compete with other companies that offer fee-based access to selected legal databases over the Internet. These companies may be more successful than we may be in
capturing market share.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Availability of free information from Internet portal companies may lessen the demand for our products because we charge subscription fees for our
products.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
also compete with Internet portal companies that offer free access to government-sponsored sites that provide some of the same information that we provide. These companies often
expect to achieve
high enough usage to allow them to achieve profitability by selling advertising on their sites. Substantial amounts of free legal information is also available over the Internet and from other
sources, such as courts and other government agencies. This free information may lessen the demand for our products.

</FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>If we do not respond to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards in the web-based legal information market, we will be at a competitive
disadvantage and we could lose potential customers to our competitors.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
market for web-based products and services is characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, changing customer demands and frequent introductions
of new products, services and enhancements. As a result, our success depends upon our ability to improve the performance, content and reliability of our products in response to both evolving demands
of the legal community and competitive product offerings. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so successfully or that any enhancements or new products that we introduce will gain
acceptance in the marketplace. If we are not successful or if our products are not accepted, we could lose potential customers to our competitors.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>The large law firm market is currently dominated by West Group and LEXIS-NEXIS, and we have very little experience in marketing our products to large law
firms, corporate legal departments and consumer markets, and thus our inability to penetrate these markets could impede our growth.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially
all of our revenues to date have been generated by sales of our products to small law firms. Our business strategy calls for increased sales to large law firms and legal
departments of corporations. The large law firm market for electronic legal information is dominated, and is likely to be dominated for the near future, by West Group and LEXIS-NEXIS, our two
principal competitors. West Group and LEXIS-NEXIS offer comprehensive state law databases for all 50 states, while our data bases are limited to 15 states. This could adversely affect our ability to
penetrate the large law firm and corporate legal department markets. Moreover, we have little experience designing products and serving the needs of large law firms, legal departments of corporations
or consumers. Our inability to market our products to large law firms, legal departments of corporations or consumers successfully could impede our growth.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>The loss of our relationships with our data providers could adversely affect our business by increasing the time and expense required to convert legal
information.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
maintain databases consisting of court decisions, statutes, regulations, acts, administrative decisions and other legal information that has been provided to us by various persons.
We have formal agreements with some, but not all, of these data providers. Our ability to maintain our relationships with our data providers and to build new relationships with additional data
providers is critical to the success of our business. If any of our data providers significantly increase their fees for providing court decisions, statutes and other data, our costs of data
acquisition could increase significantly. The loss of any relationships with data providers, or any significant increase in data acquisition costs, could materially increase our operating expenses.</FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business difficult.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
commenced revenue producing operations in January&nbsp;1999. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. You
must consider the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, including web-based legal information companies.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Our quarterly results of operations fluctuate, which could result in a lower price for our common stock.</B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
quarterly results may be affected by factors that are beyond our control, including the following:</FONT></P>

</UL>
<BR>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, a substantial portion of our expenses, including most product development and selling and marketing expenses, must be incurred in advance of revenue generation. If our
actual revenue does not meet our expectations, then our operating profit, if any, may fall short of our expectations. Further, we may change our pricing strategy for our products due to the rapidly
evolving market for electronic legal information, and this may affect our quarterly results. Any one or more of these factors could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations,
and this makes the prediction of results of operations on a quarterly basis unreliable. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations may not be meaningful and you
should not rely on them as an indication of our future performance. Also, due to these and other factors, it is possible that our quarterly results of operations may be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors. This could adversely affect the price of our common stock.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>We will require additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, you may suffer dilution in your
holdings of our common stock. Also, adequate funds may not be available when to us when we need them, or may not be available to us on favorable terms. In this case, we may be not be able to develop
or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the following:</FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>our
costs to develop and maintain our legal databases;
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
occurrence, timing, size and success of acquisitions; and
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
response of competitors to our service offerings.</FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>
<BR>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>We could be exposed to legal liability for inaccuracies in the information we provide because lawyers rely on the integrity of our databases when conducting

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since
we began delivering our legal information databases over the Internet, we have experienced rapid growth in our operations. This growth has placed a strain on our operational and
financial resources. Any increase in the volume of users of our computer system could strain the capacity of our software or hardware, which could lead to slower response times or system failures. Any
future growth may require us, among other things, to:</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
cannot assure you that our personnel, systems and controls will be adequate to support future growth. Our inability to manage growth effectively or to maintain the quality of our
products and services could cause us to lose customers and could materially increase our operating expenses.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>If we do not increase awareness of our brand name, our ability to reach new customers will be limited.</B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
future success will depend, in part, on our ability to increase awareness of our brand name and our web site. To do so, we must succeed in our marketing efforts, provide
high-quality products and
services and increase traffic to our web site. If our marketing efforts are unsuccessful or if we cannot increase our brand awareness, we may not be able to attract new customers and increase our
revenues.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>System failures could be harmful to our reputation by interrupting our ability to provide services through our web site.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
continued and uninterrupted performance of our computer system is critical to our success. Any system failure that causes interruptions in our ability to deliver our products to
our customers, including failures that affect our ability to collect information from our data providers, could reduce customer satisfaction and, if sustained or repeated, would reduce the
attractiveness of our services. We also face the risk of a security breach of our computer system, which could disrupt the distribution of our legal information. The number of visits to our web site
has been increasing, and further increases in traffic on our web site could strain our systems and increase the likelihood of system failures. Damage to our computer system could delay or prevent
delivery of our products and result in the loss of our customers. Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our computer system against damage from computer viruses, fire, power loss,
telecommunications failures, vandalism and other malicious acts, and similar unexpected adverse events. In addition, a failure of our telecommunication providers to provide the data communications
capacity in the time frame required by us for any reason could cause interruptions in the delivery of our products. Substantially all of our computer and communications hardware is located at a single
facility, and the loss of this hardware or the data it contains would cause us not to be able to operate our business for a substantial period of time. Our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected by any event that interrupts or delays our operations.

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
insurance may not cover any claims by dissatisfied subscribers or may not be adequate to indemnify us for any liability we may incur if we are sued. Any system failure, security
breach or other damage could interrupt or delay our operations, damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers. Our ability to expand our product offerings depends upon the simultaneous
expansion of our legal databases. Any interruption or termination of our arrangements with third-party data converters could result in increased costs to us or a slow-down in our expansion and product
introduction plans while we locate alternative sources for the data conversion or increase our own conversion capabilities.</FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>We depend heavily on our management team, which has little experience working together or managing a public company.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
success depends, to a significant extent, upon the efforts and abilities of Hunter M. A. Carr, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. Loss of
Mr.&nbsp;Carr's services could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, our management team has worked together for less than one year. The
short period of time that our senior officers have worked together, or their inability to work successfully together, may adversely affect our ability to manage growth. Moreover, our officers have
limited experience in managing a public company. Our management team may not be able to manage future growth, if any, or the demands of successfully operating a public company.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>There is intense competition for qualified computer technicians, programmers and sales and marketing personnel, and our failure to attract and retain these

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
future success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain qualified computer programmers, other technical personnel and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for
talented personnel, particularly technical personnel, is intense. This competition could increase the costs of hiring and retaining personnel. We do not have employment agreements with any of our
employees. We may not be able to attract, retain and adequately motivate our personnel or to integrate new personnel into our operations successfully.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Complex
software such as the software we develop for our products may contain errors or defects, especially when first implemented, that may be costly to correct. Defects or errors
also could result in downtime and our business could suffer significantly from potential adverse customer reaction, negative publicity and harm to our reputation.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>We may not be able to protect our proprietary technology, including our coding software, and we may infringe the proprietary rights of
others.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
services are highly dependent upon proprietary technology, including, for example, our proprietary coding software, which allows us to mark some of the information contained in
our databases to enable users to search our databases. We rely on contracts, confidentiality agreements and copyright, trademark and trade secrecy laws to protect our proprietary rights in our
technology. We have also obtained several trademark registrations for our various product names. The protective steps we have taken may not be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary
information. In addition, some end user license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of the licensed program may be unenforceable under the laws of certain
jurisdictions and foreign countries. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary right to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Failure to adequately
protect our intellectual property could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content and affect our ability to compete effectively. Furthermore, defending our intellectual property rights could
result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of

operations and financial condition. Also, it is possible that our competitors or others will adopt product or service brands similar to ours, possibly leading to customer confusion.</FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many
of our software programs, including our proprietary coding software, interact with and perform numerous functions similar to software available from third parties. Therefore, we
could be subject to claims that our technology infringes the proprietary rights of third parties. In addition, we have agreed, and may agree in the future, to indemnify some of our customers against
claims that our products infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Claims against us or these customers, even if without merit, could subject us to costly litigation and could divert
the time and attention of our technical and management teams. A claim of infringement may require us and our customers to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We cannot assure you that we
or our customers will be able to obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost or at all. Any failure to obtain a required license could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business could be adversely affected if the systems on which we depend to conduct our operations are not Year 2000 compliant. Our potential areas of exposure include products
purchased from third parties and computers, software, telephone systems and other equipment used internally. If any of our significant hardware or software systems are not Year 2000 compliant, our web
site could be unavailable and we would not be able to deliver products to our customers over the Internet. Any failure by us to address our Year 2000 compliance issues successfully, or of our
suppliers and other third parties with which we conduct business to address their Year 2000 issues successfully, could cause harm to our reputation, result in the loss of customers and adversely
affect our revenues.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>We may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or integrate acquired companies, and our inability to do so may disrupt our business.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
recent growth is attributable in significant part to acquisitions of other providers of legal research materials over the Internet. We expect to continue to evaluate and, where
appropriate, pursue acquisition opportunities on terms we consider favorable. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify attractive acquisition opportunities. Even if we do identify
attractive candidates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the acquisition of them on commercially acceptable terms. If we acquire another business, we could have difficulty
integrating its operations, systems, management and other personnel and technology with our own. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase
our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. Even if these difficulties could be overcome, we cannot assure you that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition would be realized. In
addition, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.</FONT></P>

market for web-based distribution of electronic legal information has only recently begun to develop and it is rapidly evolving. This makes it difficult to predict demand and

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>A downturn in the legal industry could cause our revenues to decrease.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business depends on the continued demand for legal information in electronic format. Therefore, any downturn in business for the legal profession could cause our revenues to
decrease, which will adversely affect our results of operations. Sales of our web-based products are tied to the adequacy of the Internet infrastructure and the continued growth and commercial
viability of the Internet.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>The failure of the Internet to grow or remain a viable commercial medium could harm our growth.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
success depends in large part on the maintenance of the Internet infrastructure as a reliable network backbone that provides adequate speed, data capacity and security. Our
success also depends
on the timely development of products, such as high-speed modems, that enable reliable Internet access and services. The Internet may continue to experience significant growth in the number of users,
frequency of use and amount of data transmitted. The Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it and the performance or reliability of the Internet may be adversely
affected by this continued growth. In addition, the Internet could lose its commercial viability if the number of people who use the Internet does not continue to grow. A number of factors, including
unreliable service, unavailability of cost-effective, high-speed access to the Internet or concerns about security, could impede this growth. The infrastructure or complementary products and services
necessary to maintain the Internet as a viable commercial medium may not be developed, and the Internet may not continue to be a viable commercial medium for us.</FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>If the government adopts regulation that charges Internet access fees or imposes taxes on subscriptions to our web-based products, our operating expenses will
increase.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently
there are few laws or regulations that specifically regulate communications or commerce on the Internet. However, laws and regulations may be adopted that address issues
such as pricing and the characteristics of products and services. In addition, several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet and
on-line service providers in a manner similar to long-distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on them. This regulation, if imposed, could increase the cost of transmitting data over the
Internet. Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as intellectual property ownership and infringement, libel, obscenity and personal privacy
are applicable to the Internet. Finally, state tax laws and regulations relating to the provision of products and services over the Internet are still developing. A few states have tried to impose
taxes on products and services provided over the Internet. If additional states try to do so, our operating costs may increase and we may not be able to increase the price that we charge for our
products to cover these costs. Any new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations relating to the Internet could decrease the growth in the use of the Internet,
decrease the demand for our web site, increase our operating expenses or otherwise adversely affect our business.</FONT></P>

ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation, takeover or other business
combination involving us, and to control our management and affairs. This may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which could

addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. The trading prices of many technology companies' stock are at or near historical levels. There can be no
assurance that these trading prices and price earnings predictions will be sustained. These broad market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock,
regardless of our operating performance. Historically, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted
against that company. The institution of similar litigation against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;Section
145(a)&nbsp;of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of
the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
145(b)&nbsp;of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against such
expenses actually and reasonably

incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further,
Section 145(c)&nbsp;of the DGCL provides that, to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
145(f)&nbsp;of the DGCL provides that the statutory provisions on indemnification are not exclusive of indemnification provided pursuant to, among other things, the bylaws
or indemnification agreements. Article&nbsp;XIV of our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of our officers and directors to substantially the same extent permitted by the
DGCL.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
102(b)(7)&nbsp;of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, but excludes specifically liability for any (i)&nbsp;breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;payments of unlawful dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv)&nbsp;transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The provision does not limit equitable remedies, such as an
injunction or rescission for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director from breaches of fiduciary duty, subject to the exceptions
described above.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The
Registrant has entered into Indemnity Agreements with certain of its directors and officers that establish contract rights to indemnification substantially
similar to the rights to indemnification provided for in its Certificate of Incorporation.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Item 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;Exemption from Registration Claimed.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inasmuch as the consultants who received shares of the Registrant's common stock by exercising the option granted to them were knowledgeable, sophisticated and

of 1933, as amended. As a condition
precedent to such grant, the consultants were required to express an investment intent and consent to the imprinting of a restrictive legend on each stock certificate to be received from the
Registrant, except upon sale of the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement.</FONT></P>

<DT><FONT SIZE=2>(a)</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:</FONT></DD></DL>
<UL>
<BR>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)&nbsp;of the Securities Act of 1933;</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b)&nbsp;if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;</FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided, however,</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)&nbsp;and (a)(1)(ii)&nbsp;do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form
F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d)&nbsp;of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.</FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>bona fide</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>offering
thereof.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)&nbsp;or
15(d)&nbsp;of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities 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 </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>bona fide</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> offering thereof.

</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</FONT></P>

RISK FACTORS
The following information discusses the most significant factors that makes an investment in our common stock risky or speculative. You should carefully
consider the following information in conjunction with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making a decision to invest in our common
stock.
Risks Particular to Internet Law
We have operated at a loss in recent periods and anticipate that losses will continue.
At
September 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,144,253. We had a net operating loss of $612,214 during the period from November 30, 1998, the date of our
inception, to June 30, 1999, the end of our fiscal year. We also had a net operating loss of $532,039 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. We expect operating losses and negative
cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to incur significant operating expenses and make capital investments in our business. We may never generate sufficient revenues to
achieve profitability. Even if we do become profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
The competition in our industry is intense, our principal competitors have significantly greater resources than we do, and this competition may cause us to
lose customers and prevent us from attracting new customers.
The
market for electronic legal information is currently dominated by LEXIS-NEXIS, which is owned by Reed-Elsevier, and West Group, a division of The Thomson Corporation. These
competitors are both large, well-established companies. They offer databases that are similar to or in some cases larger than the databases that we offer. While we have provided legal information for
approximately one year, LEXIS-NEXIS has been in operation for over 25 years and West Group has been in operation for over 100 years. Our competitors also have greater name recognition, larger customer
bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. This may enable them to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, to respond more quickly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. LEXIS-NEXIS and West Group have
significant penetration in the large law firm market, a market in which we intend to compete. Also, both LEXIS-NEXIS and West Group maintain web sites that offer access to their legal databases.
Although all of our legal information is in hypertext markup language, which is the standard format language used on the Internet, LEXIS-NEXIS and West Group are in the process of converting their
legal information into hypertext mark-up language, which may enable them to better serve their customers.
In
addition, we compete with other companies that offer fee-based access to selected legal databases over the Internet. These companies may be more successful than we may be in
capturing market share.
Availability of free information from Internet portal companies may lessen the demand for our products because we charge subscription fees for our
products.
We
also compete with Internet portal companies that offer free access to government-sponsored sites that provide some of the same information that we provide. These companies often
expect to achieve
high enough usage to allow them to achieve profitability by selling advertising on their sites. Substantial amounts of free legal information is also available over the Internet and from other
sources, such as courts and other government agencies. This free information may lessen the demand for our products.
If we do not respond to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards in the web-based legal information market, we will be at a competitive
disadvantage and we could lose potential customers to our competitors.
The
market for web-based products and services is characterized by rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, changing customer demands and frequent introductions
of new products, services and enhancements. As a result, our success depends upon our ability to improve the performance, content and reliability of our products in response to both evolving demands
of the legal community and competitive product offerings. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so successfully or that any enhancements or new products that we introduce will gain
acceptance in the marketplace. If we are not successful or if our products are not accepted, we could lose potential customers to our competitors.
The large law firm market is currently dominated by West Group and LEXIS-NEXIS, and we have very little experience in marketing our products to large law
firms, corporate legal departments and consumer markets, and thus our inability to penetrate these markets could impede our growth.
Substantially
all of our revenues to date have been generated by sales of our products to small law firms. Our business strategy calls for increased sales to large law firms and legal
departments of corporations. The large law firm market for electronic legal information is dominated, and is likely to be dominated for the near future, by West Group and LEXIS-NEXIS, our two
principal competitors. West Group and LEXIS-NEXIS offer comprehensive state law databases for all 50 states, while our data bases are limited to 15 states. This could adversely affect our ability to
penetrate the large law firm and corporate legal department markets. Moreover, we have little experience designing products and serving the needs of large law firms, legal departments of corporations
or consumers. Our inability to market our products to large law firms, legal departments of corporations or consumers successfully could impede our growth.
The loss of our relationships with our data providers could adversely affect our business by increasing the time and expense required to convert legal
information.
We
maintain databases consisting of court decisions, statutes, regulations, acts, administrative decisions and other legal information that has been provided to us by various persons.
We have formal agreements with some, but not all, of these data providers. Our ability to maintain our relationships with our data providers and to build new relationships with additional data
providers is critical to the success of our business. If any of our data providers significantly increase their fees for providing court decisions, statutes and other data, our costs of data
acquisition could increase significantly. The loss of any relationships with data providers, or any significant increase in data acquisition costs, could materially increase our operating expenses.
Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business difficult.
We
commenced revenue producing operations in January 1999. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. You
must consider the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, including web-based legal information companies.
Our quarterly results of operations fluctuate, which could result in a lower price for our common stock.
Our
quarterly results may be affected by factors that are beyond our control, including the following:
•
introduction
of new products or pricing programs by our competitors;
•
difficulties
in managing growth;
•
technical
difficulties or system downtime affecting our web-based products;
•
variations
in spending patterns by lawyers;
•
other
business interruptions;
•
increases
in selling and marketing expenses, as well as other operating expenses;
•
Year
2000 problems with our technology or the technology of third parties with whom we do business;
•
the
amount and timing of costs associated with the development and maintenance of new database products;
•
economic
conditions specific to the Internet or to the legal profession, as well as general economic conditions; and
•
costs
and risks associated with potential acquisitions.
In
addition, a substantial portion of our expenses, including most product development and selling and marketing expenses, must be incurred in advance of revenue generation. If our
actual revenue does not meet our expectations, then our operating profit, if any, may fall short of our expectations. Further, we may change our pricing strategy for our products due to the rapidly
evolving market for electronic legal information, and this may affect our quarterly results. Any one or more of these factors could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations,
and this makes the prediction of results of operations on a quarterly basis unreliable. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations may not be meaningful and you
should not rely on them as an indication of our future performance. Also, due to these and other factors, it is possible that our quarterly results of operations may be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors. This could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
We will require additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us.
We
will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, you may suffer dilution in your
holdings of our common stock. Also, adequate funds may not be available when to us when we need them, or may not be available to us on favorable terms. In this case, we may be not be able to develop
or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.
Our
future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the following:
•
our
costs to develop and maintain our legal databases;
•
the
rate at which we expand our operations;
•
the
extent to which we develop and upgrade our technology;
•
the
occurrence, timing, size and success of acquisitions; and
•
the
response of competitors to our service offerings.
We could be exposed to legal liability for inaccuracies in the information we provide because lawyers rely on the integrity of our databases when conducting
their legal research.
It
is not possible for us to achieve 100% accuracy in the quality of the information we include in our legal databases. As a result, we may be subject to claims by our customers based
on negligence or other theories relating to the legal information we distribute. These types of claims could be time-consuming and expensive to defend and could result in the diversion of our
management's time and
attention. Our insurance and our contracts with customers may not fully protect us against these types of claims.
Rapid growth in our business due to an increase in the number of customers subscribing to our web-based products could strain our operational and financial
resources causing us to lose customers and increase our operating expenses.
Since
we began delivering our legal information databases over the Internet, we have experienced rapid growth in our operations. This growth has placed a strain on our operational and
financial resources. Any increase in the volume of users of our computer system could strain the capacity of our software or hardware, which could lead to slower response times or system failures. Any
future growth may require us, among other things, to:
•
expand
and upgrade our hardware and software systems;
•
expand
and improve our operational and financial procedures, systems and controls;
•
improve
our financial and management information systems;
•
expand,
train and manage a larger workforce; and
•
improve
the coordination among our product development, sales and marketing, financial, accounting and management personnel.
We
cannot assure you that our personnel, systems and controls will be adequate to support future growth. Our inability to manage growth effectively or to maintain the quality of our
products and services could cause us to lose customers and could materially increase our operating expenses.
If we do not increase awareness of our brand name, our ability to reach new customers will be limited.
Our
future success will depend, in part, on our ability to increase awareness of our brand name and our web site. To do so, we must succeed in our marketing efforts, provide
high-quality products and
services and increase traffic to our web site. If our marketing efforts are unsuccessful or if we cannot increase our brand awareness, we may not be able to attract new customers and increase our
revenues.
System failures could be harmful to our reputation by interrupting our ability to provide services through our web site.
The
continued and uninterrupted performance of our computer system is critical to our success. Any system failure that causes interruptions in our ability to deliver our products to
our customers, including failures that affect our ability to collect information from our data providers, could reduce customer satisfaction and, if sustained or repeated, would reduce the
attractiveness of our services. We also face the risk of a security breach of our computer system, which could disrupt the distribution of our legal information. The number of visits to our web site
has been increasing, and further increases in traffic on our web site could strain our systems and increase the likelihood of system failures. Damage to our computer system could delay or prevent
delivery of our products and result in the loss of our customers. Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our computer system against damage from computer viruses, fire, power loss,
telecommunications failures, vandalism and other malicious acts, and similar unexpected adverse events. In addition, a failure of our telecommunication providers to provide the data communications
capacity in the time frame required by us for any reason could cause interruptions in the delivery of our products. Substantially all of our computer and communications hardware is located at a single
facility, and the loss of this hardware or the data it contains would cause us not to be able to operate our business for a substantial period of time. Our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected by any event that interrupts or delays our operations.
Unanticipated problems could interrupt or delay access to our web-based products.
Our
insurance may not cover any claims by dissatisfied subscribers or may not be adequate to indemnify us for any liability we may incur if we are sued. Any system failure, security
breach or other damage could interrupt or delay our operations, damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers. Our ability to expand our product offerings depends upon the simultaneous
expansion of our legal databases. Any interruption or termination of our arrangements with third-party data converters could result in increased costs to us or a slow-down in our expansion and product
introduction plans while we locate alternative sources for the data conversion or increase our own conversion capabilities.
We depend heavily on our management team, which has little experience working together or managing a public company.
Our
success depends, to a significant extent, upon the efforts and abilities of Hunter M. A. Carr, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. Loss of
Mr. Carr's services could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, our management team has worked together for less than one year. The
short period of time that our senior officers have worked together, or their inability to work successfully together, may adversely affect our ability to manage growth. Moreover, our officers have
limited experience in managing a public company. Our management team may not be able to manage future growth, if any, or the demands of successfully operating a public company.
There is intense competition for qualified computer technicians, programmers and sales and marketing personnel, and our failure to attract and retain these
people could affect our ability to respond to rapid technological change and to increase our sales.
Our
future success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain qualified computer programmers, other technical personnel and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for
talented personnel, particularly technical personnel, is intense. This competition could increase the costs of hiring and retaining personnel. We do not have employment agreements with any of our
employees. We may not be able to attract, retain and adequately motivate our personnel or to integrate new personnel into our operations successfully.
If our software becomes defective, it could be costly for us to correct.
Complex
software such as the software we develop for our products may contain errors or defects, especially when first implemented, that may be costly to correct. Defects or errors
also could result in downtime and our business could suffer significantly from potential adverse customer reaction, negative publicity and harm to our reputation.
We may not be able to protect our proprietary technology, including our coding software, and we may infringe the proprietary rights of
others.
Our
services are highly dependent upon proprietary technology, including, for example, our proprietary coding software, which allows us to mark some of the information contained in
our databases to enable users to search our databases. We rely on contracts, confidentiality agreements and copyright, trademark and trade secrecy laws to protect our proprietary rights in our
technology. We have also obtained several trademark registrations for our various product names. The protective steps we have taken may not be adequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary
information. In addition, some end user license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of the licensed program may be unenforceable under the laws of certain
jurisdictions and foreign countries. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary right to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Failure to adequately
protect our intellectual property could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content and affect our ability to compete effectively. Furthermore, defending our intellectual property rights could
result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition. Also, it is possible that our competitors or others will adopt product or service brands similar to ours, possibly leading to customer confusion.
Many
of our software programs, including our proprietary coding software, interact with and perform numerous functions similar to software available from third parties. Therefore, we
could be subject to claims that our technology infringes the proprietary rights of third parties. In addition, we have agreed, and may agree in the future, to indemnify some of our customers against
claims that our products infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Claims against us or these customers, even if without merit, could subject us to costly litigation and could divert
the time and attention of our technical and management teams. A claim of infringement may require us and our customers to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We cannot assure you that we
or our customers will be able to obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost or at all. Any failure to obtain a required license could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Potential difficulties caused by Year 2000 problems may decrease use of Internet services, may cause harm to our reputation and may adversely affect our
revenues.
Our
business could be adversely affected if the systems on which we depend to conduct our operations are not Year 2000 compliant. Our potential areas of exposure include products
purchased from third parties and computers, software, telephone systems and other equipment used internally. If any of our significant hardware or software systems are not Year 2000 compliant, our web
site could be unavailable and we would not be able to deliver products to our customers over the Internet. Any failure by us to address our Year 2000 compliance issues successfully, or of our
suppliers and other third parties with which we conduct business to address their Year 2000 issues successfully, could cause harm to our reputation, result in the loss of customers and adversely
affect our revenues.
We may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or integrate acquired companies, and our inability to do so may disrupt our business.
Our
recent growth is attributable in significant part to acquisitions of other providers of legal research materials over the Internet. We expect to continue to evaluate and, where
appropriate, pursue acquisition opportunities on terms we consider favorable. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify attractive acquisition opportunities. Even if we do identify
attractive candidates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the acquisition of them on commercially acceptable terms. If we acquire another business, we could have difficulty
integrating its operations, systems, management and other personnel and technology with our own. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase
our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. Even if these difficulties could be overcome, we cannot assure you that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition would be realized. In
addition, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The market for web-based legal information is new and rapidly evolving, and we may not be able to accurately predict and respond to
market developments, which could prevent our products from being accepted.
The
market for web-based distribution of electronic legal information has only recently begun to develop and it is rapidly evolving. This makes it difficult to predict demand and
market acceptance for our products as well as an appropriate pricing strategy for our products. We cannot guarantee you that the market for our products will grow, that our products will become widely
accepted or that our pricing strategy will be successful. If the market for our products does not develop as quickly as we
expect, if our products are not accepted by customers or if our pricing strategy is not successful, our future revenues will be adversely affected.
A downturn in the legal industry could cause our revenues to decrease.
Our
business depends on the continued demand for legal information in electronic format. Therefore, any downturn in business for the legal profession could cause our revenues to
decrease, which will adversely affect our results of operations. Sales of our web-based products are tied to the adequacy of the Internet infrastructure and the continued growth and commercial
viability of the Internet.
The failure of the Internet to grow or remain a viable commercial medium could harm our growth.
Our
success depends in large part on the maintenance of the Internet infrastructure as a reliable network backbone that provides adequate speed, data capacity and security. Our
success also depends
on the timely development of products, such as high-speed modems, that enable reliable Internet access and services. The Internet may continue to experience significant growth in the number of users,
frequency of use and amount of data transmitted. The Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it and the performance or reliability of the Internet may be adversely
affected by this continued growth. In addition, the Internet could lose its commercial viability if the number of people who use the Internet does not continue to grow. A number of factors, including
unreliable service, unavailability of cost-effective, high-speed access to the Internet or concerns about security, could impede this growth. The infrastructure or complementary products and services
necessary to maintain the Internet as a viable commercial medium may not be developed, and the Internet may not continue to be a viable commercial medium for us.
If the government adopts regulation that charges Internet access fees or imposes taxes on subscriptions to our web-based products, our operating expenses will
increase.
Currently
there are few laws or regulations that specifically regulate communications or commerce on the Internet. However, laws and regulations may be adopted that address issues
such as pricing and the characteristics of products and services. In addition, several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet and
on-line service providers in a manner similar to long-distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on them. This regulation, if imposed, could increase the cost of transmitting data over the
Internet. Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as intellectual property ownership and infringement, libel, obscenity and personal privacy
are applicable to the Internet. Finally, state tax laws and regulations relating to the provision of products and services over the Internet are still developing. A few states have tried to impose
taxes on products and services provided over the Internet. If additional states try to do so, our operating costs may increase and we may not be able to increase the price that we charge for our
products to cover these costs. Any new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations relating to the Internet could decrease the growth in the use of the Internet,
decrease the demand for our web site, increase our operating expenses or otherwise adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in control.
Provisions
of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if so doing would be beneficial to you.
These include the following:
•
our
board of directors is authorized to issue of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
of those shares without any further vote or
action by the stockholders, which may be used by the board to create voting impediments or otherwise delay or prevent a change in control or to modify the rights of holders of our common stock;
•
our
board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms, which will result in at least two annual meetings of
stockholders, instead of one, generally being required to change the majority of the board;
•
a
prohibition on cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect directors;
•
a
requirement that the holders of at least 75% of our outstanding voting stock approve some business combinations;
•
limitations
on who may call annual and special meetings of stockholders;
•
advance
notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals and the nominations, other than by or at the direction of the board, of candidates for
election as directors;
•
a
requirement that vacancies on the board of directors, including newly-created directorships, be filled only by a majority of directors then in office;
•
a
provision that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of
capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors; and
•
supermajority
voting requirements to amend our certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
Control by officers and directors could have an adverse effect on our stockholders.
As
of December 23, 1999, our directors, executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned a total of approximately 75% of our outstanding common stock. Hunter M. A.
Carr, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 60% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, have the
ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation, takeover or other business
combination involving us, and to control our management and affairs. This may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which could
materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The volatility of our stock price could adversely affect our stockholders.
There
currently is a public market for our common stock, but there is no assurance that there will always be such a market. The trading price of our common stock is highly volatile
and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:
•
actual
or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
•
announcements
of technological innovations;
•
new
sales formats, contracts, products or services by us or our competitors;
•
changes
in financial estimates by securities analysts;
•
announcements
of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
•
additions
or departures of key personnel;
•
sales
of common stock; or
•
other
general economic or stock market conditions, many of which are beyond our control.
In
addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. The trading prices of many technology companies' stock are at or near historical levels. There can be no
assurance that these trading prices and price earnings predictions will be sustained. These broad market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock,
regardless of our operating performance. Historically, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted
against that company. The institution of similar litigation against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
You should not expect to receive dividends from us.
We
have never declared or paid dividends to our stockholders. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and therefore do not expect to pay any dividends in
the foreseeable future.

THE COMPANY
General
We are a Delaware corporation that was formerly known as Planet Resources, Inc. We operate an Internet portal that provides subscription access to
databases used for legal research through our wholly owned subsidiary, National Law Library, Inc. The content of these databases consists of federal and state case law, statutory law and
regulatory materials that can be useful to individual lawyers, judges, law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, businesses, and individuals involved in litigation, legislative
efforts, and corporate legal planning. Interfacing with these databases is a software retrieval engine that is also owned and operated by National Law Library. Customers using the Internet portal pay
subscription fees to National Law Library for monthly or longer-term service.
Corporate History
We became a public company effective as of March 30, 1999, when we merged with National Law Library. As a result of that transaction, National Law

the purpose of developing and marketing an Internet portal to be used for legal research.
Our Products
Through National Law Library, we provide a "virtual" law library for legal research from offices, homes or portable laptops. Built upon a web-based
architecture, National Law Library's virtual library was designed to enable many users to access a database providing access to and reducing the costs associated with online legal research. Our
primary product is a text search and retrieval program available for use via the Internet that currently offers access to case law for the following 26 states:

filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall also be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed

Registration Statement.
Item 4.  Description of Securities
Not required.
Item 5.  Interest of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
(a) Section
145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of
the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section
145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against such
expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Further,
Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that, to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Section
145(f) of the DGCL provides that the statutory provisions on indemnification are not exclusive of indemnification provided pursuant to, among other things, the bylaws
or indemnification agreements. Article XIV of our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of our officers and directors to substantially the same extent permitted by the
DGCL.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, but excludes specifically liability for any (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) payments of unlawful dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The provision does not limit equitable remedies, such as an
injunction or rescission for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care.
The
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director from breaches of fiduciary duty, subject to the exceptions
described above.
(b) The
Registrant has entered into Indemnity Agreements with certain of its directors and officers that establish contract rights to indemnification substantially
similar to the rights to indemnification provided for in its Certificate of Incorporation.
Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Inasmuch as the consultants who received shares of the Registrant's common stock by exercising the option granted to them were knowledgeable, sophisticated and
had access to comprehensive information relevant to the Registrant, such transaction was undertaken in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. As a condition
precedent to such grant, the consultants were required to express an investment intent and consent to the imprinting of a restrictive legend on each stock certificate to be received from the
Registrant, except upon sale of the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
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 the 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 the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form
F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
2.  That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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 means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4.  That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities 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 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.
5.  Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on
December 29, 1999.
