Description of Business
Sword Comp-Soft Inc. ("Sword" or the "Company") was organized on November 22, 1998. Its main goal is to bring interactive healthcare information services to the consumer, in lay terms, to allow the consumer to make educated choices in the area of health care. Its plan is to offer knowledge and service databases that allows the end user to access what they, as individuals, need.
Sword has developed technology that combines a large volume of healthcare information in conjunction with the ability to selectively generate only that which the consumer wishes to know. The programs, known as ASPs, are geared to very specific areas and, thus, allows the subscriber to pick and choose, as per their healthcare preference. The interactivity means that the program will keep prompting consumers until their questions have been fully answered or their needs met to the consumer's satisfaction.
The offering
The Company is offering hereby up to 12,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for $4.00 per share on an "as-sold, best efforts" basis, which would allow the Company to have immediate use of all funds raised regardless of how many shares are sold. If all the shares offered are sold without the use of agents, the Company should net approximately $50,000,000. No determination can be made as the amount of proceeds if agents are used to sell the shares on behalf of the Company. See "Use of Proceeds".
Risk factors
Purchasers of the securities offered herby should be aware that the securities are highly speculative and involve a very high degree of risk and, therefore, should not be purchased by investors who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment. In addition to the general risks of investing, the Company's securities may be particularly risky based upon the fact that the Company (i) is undercapitalized to complete its business plan; (ii) will have use of the proceeds immediately and the early investors will have no assurance that sufficient additional funds will be raised (iii) is involved in a novel business model, utilizing non-traditional marketing. (iv) plans to use the Internet as its medium; (v) has not completed modification of its product for use in connection of its target market; and (vi) has no market established for the trading of its securities. (vii) The funds raised will be dispensed at the discretion of the Board of Directors with no prior shareholder approval. You will therefore have no direct input into how your funds are spent. Prospective investors should carefully review and consider the factors set forth under the "Risk Factors" as well as other information herein.
You should carefully consider the following facts and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in the shares.
Since we have only a limited operating history, it is difficult for you to evaluate if we are a good investment
We were incorporated in November 1998. As of this date, we have not introduced our first services. Accordingly, we have only a very limited operating history, and we face all of the risks and uncertainties encountered by early-stage companies. Thus, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties associated with a new and rapidly evolving market for proprietary Application Service Providers focusing on e-healthcare. In sum, because of our limited history and the youth and inherent risks of our industry, predictions of our future performance are very difficult.
Our independent auditor has expressed concern over our ability to remain in business and if we go out of business your investment will be lost
In his report on our audited financial statements, our auditor has stated that there is a substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to remain in business for even the next twelve months. His concern is based upon our growing losses and no specific plan to have the funds necessary to implement our business plan. If his concerns are proven accurate, any investment in our securities will likely be lost.
We have incurred losses and anticipate even more losses in the future which may cause us to become insolvent
From our inception in November 1998 through August 31, 2000, we incurred an accumulated deficit of $115,467. We anticipate incurring significant losses until, at the earliest, we generate sufficient revenues to offset the substantial up-front expenditures and operating costs associated with developing and commercializing our products. There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.
We have no regular customers and generate no meaningful revenues and if we do not develop a solid customer base and generate greater revenue we will go out of business
We have not entered into any agreements to utilize our technology with any subscribers or alliance partners. We do not believe that we will generate significant revenues in the immediate future. We will not generate any meaningful revenues unless we obtain contracts with a significant number of subscribers and a few health alliance partners. There can be no assurance that we will ever be able to obtain contracts with a significant number of subscribers to generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable operations.
Our success is dependent on successful implementation of our business plan. This involves developing and expanding our operations on a profitable basis and developing non-traditional marketing and promotional channels that would be available to promote our services
on a monthly fee basis. We are unaware of any other entity that has attempted to accomplish what we propose to do and there is no assurance that we will be successful or that our business model and services will be accepted in the industry or result in the generation of significant revenues.
We need additional financing or we may have to curtail operations and investors will lose their money
Our capital requirements relating to the commercialization of our technology will be significant. We will be dependent on the proceeds of future financings in order to continue in business and to develop and commercialize additional proposed application services. We currently project requiring an additional $ 420,000 in new financing, in order to commence the work on our next ASP. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional capital resources necessary to permit us to pursue our business plan. We have no current arrangements with respect to additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will have a material adverse effect on us, such as requiring us to significantly curtail or cease operations.
Our infrastructure may not be reliable because it may not be large enough to accommodate growth and because of third party disruptions and if this occurs we will lose customers
Our operations will depend upon the capacity, reliability, security and privacy of our systems infrastructure. We currently have only limited system capacity and will be required to continually expand our systems infrastructure to accommodate significant numbers of subscribers and their personal data. Development and/or expansion of our systems infrastructure will require additional financial, operational and managerial resources. There can be no assurance that we will be able to expand our systems infrastructure to meet potential demand on a timely basis or at a commercially reasonable cost. Our failure to develop and/or expand our systems infrastructure on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on us. We will be dependent upon co-location and online service providers for access to our application services.
Our systems infrastructure will also be vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. Computer viruses or problems caused by third parties could lead to material interruptions, delays or cessation in service to our customers. Inappropriate use of the internet by third parties could also potentially jeopardize the security of confidential information stored in the computer systems of consumers. Security and privacy concerns of consumers may limit our ability to develop a significant subscriber base.
We may face liability because of the content transmitted over our systems and if found liable the amount of damages could make us insolvent
The liability we may face as a result of content disseminated through our system could have a negative impact on our financial condition. The law relating to the liability of businesses such as ours for content carried on or disseminated through their system is currently unsettled. We could become involved in litigation regarding the content transmitted over our system, which could create adverse publicity, significant defense costs and substantial damage awards. In addition, because health content materials can be downloaded and may be subsequently distributed to others, there is a potential that claims will be made against us for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other theories based on the nature and content of such materials.
We could also be exposed to liability in connection with the selection of materials that may be accessible over our system. Claims could be made against us if material or reports deemed inappropriate or incorrect by health viewers could be accessed. For instance, a subscriber may tells us about their hypertension leading us to recommend exercise but they fail to tell us that they are osteoporic and they break a bone.
While we intend to carry insurance policies, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to cover liability that may be imposed or related defense costs. There can be no assurance that we will not face claims resulting in substantial liability for which we are partially or completely uninsured. Any partially or completely uninsured claim against us would have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate.

Plan of operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Sword Comp-Soft Corp., based in Montreal, Canada, is a new Application Service Provider (ASP) initially investing in the e-healthcare sector. Application Services, a rapidly growing segment of the internet economy, is the term used to describe internet providers that focus on a single topic or issue in a conversational manner. We were initially formed in November 1998 and are currently still in the development phase and preparing to begin commercial activity in the first quarter of 2001. We now have what we believe is some of the most advanced technology currently available in the field of e-healthcare.
On May 29,2000, Millenia Hope Inc. acquired thirty-five million seven hundred thousand (35,700,000) shares of SWORD COMP-SOFT INC., this being the 51% of SWORD's authorized capital, at a cost of five million (5,000,000) common shares, valued at the average thirty date trading range (OTC other) of $1.50 or seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000) and five million warrants (5,000,000) entitling the registered holder thereof to purchase at any time from that date for a period of three (3) years, one share of common stock at a price of two dollars (2).
We hope to benefit from our relationship with Millenia Hope, Inc., our controlling shareholder, in several ways. Millenia's scientific advisory committee, comprised of MD's and P.H.D.s with a wide range of expertise, will lend valuable assistance to Sword, as it brings to the market its medical ASPs. Further, their breadth of knowledge and varied specializations should help to generate ideas and data to aid in the production of other medical ASPs.
Also, Mr. Leonard Stella, Chief Operating Officer of Millenia Hope, will fill the same post at Sword, as well as sitting on the Board of Directors. This will allow Sword to benefit from Mr. Stella's fiscal expertise and Millenia's guidance in its financial transactions and decisions.
Furthermore; Millenia Hope will not charge any administrative fees or download any expenses onto its subsidiary, SWORD.
While we expect to incur direct expenditures for research and development in the approximate amount of $ 260,000 thru December 2000, we expect governmental agencies of Canada, who provide excellent incentives, to provide us with grants. Research and development grants will be recorded as a reduction of expense on the income statement, leaving us with the net amount of the expense.
The first group of our application services are currently expected to be available by the end of 2000. The marketing plan for the first year of operations is to concentrate on the North American market and to focus, particularly during the balance of this year, on opportunities that have been identified for or by the top pharmaceutical companies. Should we be unable to complete formal contracts with a few of the major pharmaceutical companies, our plan is to market directly to consumers on a monthly fee basis.
Initially, our interactive health service applications will be promoted primarily via our web site, internet on-line advertising and by an aggressive effort to recruit specific web communities (a group of like minded Internet users with similar interests) that are health and well being oriented. Co-parenting, the joining of two products/services or ideas presented as a single corporate message, will be employed in tandem with major medical and not for profit organizations to raise the profile of our offering. As interest grows commensurately, we will employ a wider choice of media outlets to promote our website, Medicocenter.com
We believe that our sales targets are both modest and achievable based upon ad hoc discussions with potential health alliance partners and our own internal estimates. We hope to break even this year and have revenues of $1.3 million from several sources, including but not exclusive of Internet site hosting, software consultations and our ASPs during fiscal 2001. We currently anticipate that our monthly rate of expenditures, once we commence sales, will be approximately $40,000.
SWORD will be generating funds in a number of ways. As previously mentioned, our Website, www. Medicocenter.com, will be available to the individual consumer for a monthly fee. This might be a flat fee or a graded fee based on consumer usage.
We will also be soliciting pharmaceutical and other healthcare corporations to purchase advertising space on our website, a natural fit as the consumers accessing our website will be interested in health and wellness. As our various ASPs come on line we will gear our sales efforts to mesh the individual ASP to the Company whose market is the specific area covered by that particular ASP.
SWORD is planning to hold discussions with insurance carriers to have them pay the company directly for their customer's use of our medical site. This should be a mutually beneficial arrangement, as the insurance company will have better educated customers, making more intelligent wellness choices and saving their corporations money in the future. The Company gains by having a solid steady fee base.
We also hope to enter into agreement with pharmaceutical and other health care corporations to sell them the raw data we collect, i.e. number of people with questions relating to a specific illness, how many people on our database have pre-operative problems etc.
During our initial fundraising in 2000, we sold 11,000,000 shares for an aggregate of $275,000. We anticipate using these funds as follows.
Research & Development $105,000 Advertising and Marketing $ 37,000 Rent & office equipment $ 22,000 Administration & Selling $ 72,000 Internet setup and bandwidth $ 19,000 Legal, Accounting, offering cost $ 20,000 |
We believe our current cash on hand is sufficient to see us through the development stage to be able to bring the first of our application service providers on line. However, our cash is neither sufficient to allow for further research and development nor to make any technology related or other strategic acquisitions.
The most important technical success factors have been assuring unique reliable health modules on top of basic e-commerce and online mass storage capabilities.
Use of the Proceeds
The net proceeds from the sale of the shares offered herein by the Company is estimated to be approximately $50,000,000 assuming (i) all of the shares offered are sold and (ii) the shares are not sold through selling agents. In the event less than all of the shares offered are sold, the Company will realize less proceeds. The Company will not realize any funds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Security holders.
The net proceeds of this Offering, assuming all shares offered are sold by the outside agents should be approximately $45,000,000 (3) and in the event that all are sold by the Company (the Company currently has no arrangements or understandings with any agents to sell any Shares), the net proceeds should be approximately $50,000,000. The Company intends to use such net proceeds as follows:
(3) assumes a 10% commission to the selling agent.

Advertising & Promotion $ 1,500,000 3% $ 1,350,000

The foregoing table represents the Company's best estimate of the allocation of the proceeds of this Offering based upon the current state of the Company's development, its current plans and current economic and industry conditions, and is subject to reapportionment of
proceeds among the categories listed above or to new categories in the event of drastic changes to the current acquisition or otherwise, is presented to the Company.
The Company should it be successful in raising funds in whole or part will fund a greatly expanded Research and System Development program. This will entail adding additional staff, paying subcontracted individuals and out sourcing research and development projects to outside entities. This will allow our medical ASPs to come on line in much greater number and at a greatly enhanced pace.
Furthermore, the Company will have available funds with which to make technology acquisitions, both outright and via licensed agreement. These will fall within our perview of health care interactive databases, artificial intelligence modules capable of tying together diverse pieces of information (in our case, healthcare and medical related) and other related emerging technologies. To date, no specific acquisitions have been identified.
The Company expects that the net proceeds of this Offering will be sufficient for it to reach its objectives over at least the next 12 months. However, these proceeds, even if realized, might not be sufficient to meet all of the Company's future capital requirements and additional financing might be necessary. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to raise the additional funds necessary to reach its objectives.
Business
We were initially formed in November 1998 and are currently in the midst of the development phase and preparing to begin commercial activity in the first quarter of 2001. We are based in Montreal, Canada. We are a new Application Service Provider initially investing in the e-healthcare sector. Application Services, a rapidly growing segment of the internet economy, is the term used to describe internet providers that focus on a single topic or issue in a conversational manner.
We are working on a pilot and believe that we will be in a position to offer a range of application services designed around the concept of providing a series of useful, on-line interactive health services and facilities in an attractive, convenient format to people in their personal electronic environments. These application services include the identification and personal logging of disease(s) and strategies to cope with long term health issues from nutrition, wellness and health in a "patient driven" format.
Essentially, the subscribers use application programs to create, store and transact medical data on the application server, for example: the interactive on-line health service will record similar data to that usually given to a primary health care worker, such as a doctor or a nurse, and create an overall profile of individual health needs. Each application will relate to a specific disease, drug, or part of the human anatomy on a pay per use basis, although this fee may be sponsored. We also plan to offer pre-operative processing support.
The first of the applications on which the Company intends to focus are the areas of nutrition, overall health and well being of the individual, and contraception. We are planning to work on drug ASPs to enhance data for real trials and encourage and remind patients to take all their prescriptions on a timely and complete basis. This important data, on an ever-increasing number of patients for that particular drug or course of treatment, is of great value.
Consumers will be able to access the Company's Internet medical site, www.medicocenter.com, and receive an individualized assessment based on their current health level and a nutritional plan designed to enhance the quality of their life and well being in the future. If, for example, a consumer has concerns about the onset or worsening of high blood pressure, he or she can engage in an interactive dialogue with the ASP to establish signposts to gauge the extent of the problem in conjunction with their physician. Following this, a detailed list of preventive measures and chronic treatment support will be provided to allow the consumer alternative choices as to a course of action best suited to their life situation.
Product differentiation
The methodology of empowering the consumer, vis-a-vis their own health needs, broadens the overall health sector knowledge base and allows for intelligent, well thought out courses of action by the consumer when dealing with their professional health provider. Each of the applications is uniquely tailored to the particular needs of that consumer and their areas of concern.
Our on-line medical services will be interactive, a dialogue between the consumer and the applications. Our goal is to position us so that, in the e-healthcare sector, our services are always perceived as being a rich and diverse source of information in a user friendly, interactive, individualized format. The clarity and consistency of that message will be monitored on an ongoing basis so that it meshes seamlessly with the changing needs and concerns of the consumer pool.
There are over 15,000 health-based internet sites as reported by Business 2.0 magazine, in its March 1999 edition. Almost all of these are what Jupiter Communications dubbed "informational" i.e., they are one-way content providers and serve essentially the function of being an electronic medical encyclopedia. A few are transactional such as on-line pharmacies. In this new decade, we expect e-healthcare to adopt new business models and innovate to meet the demands of an industry in need of fundamental change. We believe that the new e-trends emerging in the healthcare industry will have an impact and provide significant investment opportunities.
The ASP systems works as specific communication programs, which accumulate data for individuals, including those with multiple problems, through a question and answer interface, much like mimicking the Patient/Doctor interaction. The ASP then accesses our
inference engine, a knowledge database that is able, using an artificial intelligence, to tie together diverse groups of facts, which will generate a report to the consumer. We are a proprietary Application Service Provider in the Business to Consumer, otherwise known as the "B-2-C," segment. We currently find ourselves alone in this segment of consumer e-healthcare.
One of the large players in e-healthcare is E-MedSoft.com. Their website, e-medsoft.com, describes themselves as providing management systems for health care companies that system allows professional people (not the average consumer), in different locations, to access health care data from anywhere with an Internet hook-up. The Trizetto Group is also in the Business-to-Business segment. Neither of these companies addresses the final consumer, the segment that we will be servicing.
The major limiting factor in this industry is that, at present, the aforementioned company's solutions are too expensive for the average consumer. Our applications hope to remedy this situation. Although e-medsoft.com, Trizetto and others may evolve to deal with consumers, we believe that will take place only in the future as they are now strategically engaged in putting new web sites onto their existing systems as opposed to new systems designed specifically for the new consumer trends. Significant corporate settlement of healthcare costs may be available to our Medicocenter web site to link our consumers with professional organizations i.e. Insurance company payments etc. that pay for health expenditures.
According to Forrester Research, the ASP market is expected to grow to more than $21 billion in 2001. Forrester defines an application server as a software server product that supports individual users with an integrated group of computer capabilities. (June 2000). The message from the aforementioned report was that, consumers are seeking alternative choices.
We are keenly aware of the ethical issues involved in healthcare services being sold over the Internet and, while we do not prescribe any drugs, we do aim to be profitable within a few years.
Marketing and sales
The business model we developed takes into account a number of features of the new consumer empowerment for healthcare:
A recent American Medical Association survey that shows fewer than 40 percent of doctor's use the Web as part of their practice this contrasts with the fact that more than 100 million consumers are looking to the Internet for health information.
Health Information on-line is a huge and growing segment of the Healthcare industry, whose sales are predicted to rise to $10 billion by the year 2004. In the same release (Jupiter Communications Inc. January 2000) reported that 45% of on-line consumers access the Internet for health information.
We believe that the consumer "dependency" on the medical system is shifting to a self-directed model as healthcare budgets and patient tolerance erodes. The article entitled Patients, Heal Thyselves by Lindsey Arent (May. 20, 1999) states "If the researchers at the Center for Future Health have their way, your yearly checkup could be a thing of the past. " Our ASP is part of this gradual change of the healthcare consumer's attitude.
Properties
Our facilities are located in approximately 800 square feet of leased office space in Montreal, Canada. Our lease expires on June 30, 2005, and provides for an annual rental of US$ $18,000. We have only negligible costs relating to environmental compliance laws.

Disclosure of commission position on indemnification for securities act liabilities
Neither our by-laws nor our certificate of incorporation currently provide indemnification to our officers or directors. In an effort to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as our directors and officers, we intend to adopt provisions providing for the maximum indemnification permitted by Delaware law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have 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.
Description of securities
Authorized and outstanding stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 70,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value. As of November 30, 2000 there were 46,700,000 shares outstanding, which were held by 193 stockholders of record.
Common stock
Subject to legal and contractual restrictions on payment of dividends, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive such lawful dividends as may be declared by the board of directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive all of our remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders after satisfaction of all liabilities and preferences. Holders of our common stock do not have any preemptive, conversion or redemption rights and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. Record holders of our common stock are entitled to vote at all meetings of stockholders and at those meetings are entitled to cast one vote for each share of record that they own on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. As a result, the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares can elect all of our directors, and the holders of the remaining shares are not able to elect any of our directors. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable, and all shares of common stock to be offered and sold in this offering will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Transfer agent and registrar
The stock transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Intercontinental Registry and Stock Transfer, located at 900 Buchanan blvd # 1, Boulder City, Nevada 89005-2100.
Dividend policy
Under applicable law, dividends may only be paid out of legally available funds as proscribed by a statute, subject to the discretion of the board of directors. In addition, it is currently our policy to retain internally generated funds to support future expansion of our business. Accordingly, even if we do generate earnings, and even if we are not prohibited from paying dividends, we do not currently intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future .
Shares available for future sale
On the date of this prospectus, all 25,500,000 shares included in this prospectus will generally be freely tradable without restriction imposed by, or further registration under, the Securities Act. An additional 33,700,000 shares of our common stock may be deemed "restricted securities," as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Such shares may be sold to the public, subject to volume restrictions, as described below. Commencing at various dates, these shares may be sold to the public without any volume limitations.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, including one of our affiliates, or persons whose shares are aggregated with affiliates, who has owned restricted shares of common stock beneficially for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class. In the event our shares are sold on an exchange or are reported on the automated quotation system of a registered securities association, you could sell during any three-month period the greater of such 1% amount or the average weekly trading volume as reported for the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of your sale is filed with the SEC. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. A person who has not been one of our affiliates for at least the three months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned shares of common stock for at least two years is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.
You should note that we anticipate that our shares of common stock will initially be included for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Pursuant to SEC regulations, the OTC Bulletin Board is not considered an "automated quotation system of a registered securities association" and Rule 144 will only permit sales of up to 1% of the outstanding shares during any three-month period.
Plan of distribution
The Company hereby offers up to 12,500,000 shares of its Common Stock on an "as -sold, best efforts" basis at a price of $4.00 per share. All funds raised during this offering which will extend for ninety days from the date hereof (unless extended by the Company for up to an additional thirty days) will be available to the Company immediately upon receipt. The Company may enter into arrangements with registered broker/dealers to help sell these Shares in which case the Company will be required to pay commissions or other compensation to these agents. The Company currently has no understandings or arrangements with anybody to act as selling agent.
The sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders may be effected by them from time to time in the over the counter market or in such other public forum where our
shares are publicly traded or listed for quotation. These sales may be made in negotiated transactions through the timing of options on the shares, or through a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices, which may be charged at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for which such broker-dealer may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary compensation.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on any sale of the shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Selling stockholders
We are registering shares of common stock purchased by investors in our 2000 private placement offerings.
Other than the costs of preparing this prospectus and a registration fee to the SEC, we are not paying any costs relating to the sales by the selling stockholders. Each of the selling stockholders, or their transferees, and intermediaries to whom such securities may be sold may be deemed to be an "underwriter" of the common stock offered in this prospectus, as that term is defined under the Securities Act. Each of the selling stockholders, or their transferees, may sell these shares from time to time for his own account in the open market at the prevailing prices, or in individually negotiated transactions at such prices as may be agreed upon. The net proceeds from the sale of these shares by the selling stockholders will inure entirely to their benefit and not to ours.
Except as indicated below, none of the selling stockholders has held any position or office, or had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the last three years, and after completion of this offering will own the amount of our outstanding common stock listed opposite their name. The shares reflected by each selling stockholder is based upon information provided to us by our transfer agent and from other available sources in November 2000.
These shares may be offered for sale from time to time in regular brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter market, or, either directly or through brokers or to dealers, or in private sales or negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices related to the then prevailing market prices. Thus, they may be required to deliver a current prospectus in connection with the offer or sale of their shares. In the absence of a current prospectus, if required, these shares may not be sold publicly without restriction unless held by a non-affiliate for two years, or after one year subject to volume limitations and satisfaction of other conditions. The selling stockholders are
hereby advised that Regulation M of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be applicable to their sales of these shares. These rules contain various prohibitions against trading by persons interested in a distribution and against so-called "stabilization" activities.
The selling stockholders, or their transferees, might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act and any profit on the resale of these shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Act. Any sale of these shares by selling shareholders, or their transferees, through broker-dealers may cause the broker-dealers to be considered as participating in a distribution and subject to Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If any such transaction were a "distribution" for purposes of Regulation M, then such broker-dealers might be required to cease making a market in our equity securities for either two or nine trading days prior to, and until the completion of, such activity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Sword Comp-Soft Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sword Comp-Soft Corp. (a company in the development stage) as of April 30, 2000 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sword Comp-Soft Corp. at April 30, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced an operating loss that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 02, 1998) THROUGH APRIL 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Sword Comp-Soft Corp. (the "Company") was organized on November 02, 1998. The company is an Application Service Provider in the E-Health sector providing on-line interactive health services through the internet.
Sword Comp-Soft Corp. prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting; consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. Financial statement items are recorded at historical cost and may not necessarily represent current values.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain amounts included in the financial statements are estimated based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions. Every effort is made to ensure the integrity of such estimates.
Fair value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Gentlemen:
As counsel for your Company, we have examined your Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and such other corporate records, documents and proceedings and such questions of law as we have deemed relevant for the purpose of this opinion.
We have also, as such counsel, examined the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") of your Company on Form SB-2, covering the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the proposed offer and resale of up to 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock by the holders thereof (the "Common Shares"). Our review has included the exhibits and form of prospectus for the resale of the Common Shares.
On the basis of such examination, we are of the opinion that:

2. The Common Shares have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.
This opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
