The Parties to the Merger (Page 42)
 
Prescient is a Delaware corporation with its corporate headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania and operations in Pennsylvania and Texas. We are a leading provider of on-demand solutions for the retail marketplace, including both retailers and suppliers. Our solutions capture information at the point of sale, provide greater visibility into real-time demand and turn data into actionable information across the entire supply chain. As a result, our products and services enable trading partners to compete effectively, increase profitability and excel in today’s retail business climate.
 
 
Our solutions address the primary concern of retailers and suppliers today: out of stock merchandise. Our retail supply chain and replenishment solutions provide trading partners with the ability to clearly see real-time demand and use that knowledge to drive supply chain efficiency. The results are more accurate ordering and replenishment, lower inventory levels, and fewer out of stock merchandise.
 
We have organized our sales operations to address several key markets: Supply Chain, focused primarily on manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers in the consumer products industry, and Advanced Commerce, focused on large mass merchandise, grocery, chain drug stores, electronics, and other “big box” retailers. In addition, we have a professional services organization that provides assessments, implementation services, and support functions to our entire array of customers.
 
We market our solutions to companies primarily throughout North America, with a small percentage of business in Europe. Our customers include many leading consumer goods and retail organizations, including Meijer, SUPERVALU, Sunny Delight Beverage Company, Russell Stover Candies, and Crayola, among others.
 
Park City, located at 3160 Pinebrook Road, Park City, Utah 84098, develops and markets computer software and profit optimization consulting services to retailers that are designed to reduce their inventory and labor costs; the two largest controllable operating expenses in the retail industry. Park City’s suite of products, Fresh Market Manager, ActionManager™ and Supply Chain Profit Link are designed to address the needs of multi-store retailers and suppliers in store operations management, manufacturing, and both durable goods and perishable product management.
 
Merger Sub was formed by Park City solely for the purpose of completing the proposed Merger. Merger Sub is a wholly owned subsidiary of Park City and has not engaged in any business except for activities incidental to its formation and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Prescient. Upon the consummation of the proposed Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, Prescient will continue as the Surviving Corporation and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Park City.
 
Randy Fields is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Park City and pursuant to the Merger Agreement has been appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
The Merger Agreement (Page 43 )
 
The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into Prescient. In the Merger:
 
 
each share of Prescient Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned by Park City, Merger Sub or Prescient, or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Park City, Merger Sub or Prescient, and shares held by stockholders, if any, who have properly and validly perfected statutory rights of appraisal with respect to the Merger) will be converted into the right to receive $0.055 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax;
     
 
each share of Series E Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, (other than shares owned by Park City, Merger Sub or Prescient, or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Park City, Merger Sub or Prescient, and shares held by stockholders, if any, who have properly and validly perfected statutory rights of appraisal with respect to the Merger) will be converted into the right to receive $4,098.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax; and
     
 
each share of Series G Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, (other than shares owned by Park City, Merger Sub or Prescient, or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Park City, Merger Sub or Prescient, and shares held by stockholders, if any, who have properly and validly perfected statutory rights of appraisal with respect to the Merger) will be converted into the right to receive $1,136.36 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, which we refer to in this proxy statement collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”
 
Certain Effects of the Merger (Page 32 )
 
If the Merger is completed: (i) the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive $0.055 in cash, (ii) the holders of Series E Stock will be entitled to receive $4,098.00 in cash, and (iii) the holders of Series G Stock will be entitled to receive $1,136.36 in cash, each without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share of Common Stock, Series E Stock or Series G Stock, as applicable, owned immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, unless such stockholders have properly and validly perfected his or her statutory rights of appraisal with respect to the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Prescient will cease to be an independent, publicly traded company. You will not own any shares of the surviving corporation and will not have any rights as a stockholder.
 
Treatment of Options and Warrants (Page 44 )
 
Stock Options. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to purchase Common Stock under our equity incentive plans, whether or not exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the options multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $0.055 exceeds the exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding options, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding options.
 
Warrants. Each warrant to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $0.055 exceeds the exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding warrants, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding warrants.

 
Recommendation of Our Special Committee and Board of Directors (Page 21 )
 
Our special committee and board of directors, acting with the advice and assistance of the Company’s independent legal and financial advisors, evaluated and negotiated the Merger, including the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, with Park City and Merger Sub. The special committee unanimously recommended that the board of directors:
 
 
approve and adopt the Merger Agreement;
     
 
approve the Merger; and
     
 
recommend that the stockholders of Prescient vote for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement.
 
Our board of directors, relying in part on the recommendation of the special committee, at a meeting duly called and held at which all directors were present, unanimously (i) determined that the terms of the Merger were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and declared it advisable to enter into the Merger Agreement providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, (iii) approved the amendment to our Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, (iv) approved the amendment to our Series G Stock Certificate of Designation, and (v) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company adopt the Merger Agreement and amendments to the Series E Stock and Series G Stock Certificates of Designation, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

The board of directors believes that the Merger is fair to all unaffiliated holders of our Common Stock and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, “FOR” the proposal to amend the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, and “FOR” the proposal to amend the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation.
 
In reaching its decision, our board of directors evaluated a variety of business, financial and market factors and consulted with the special committee, our management team and our legal and financial advisors. See “ Special Factors – Purpose and Reasons for the Merger” and “ Special Factors – Recommendation of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors; Reasons for Recommending the Approval and Adoption of the Merger Agreement” beginning on pages  18 and 21, respectively.
 
Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (Page 34 )
 
In considering the recommendation of the board of directors, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interest, including the following:
 
 
Mr. Fields, who was appointed our Chief Executive Officer upon execution of the Merger Agreement, also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Park City;
     
 
Jane F. Hoffer, our President and Chief Operating Officer who served as our Chief Executive Officer from January 2005 until August 28, 2008, is a party to an agreement that provides certain severance payments and benefits in the case of her termination of employment following the Merger; and
     
 
the Merger Agreement provides for indemnification arrangements for each of our current and former directors and executive officers as well as insurance coverage covering such director or executive officer’s service to the Company as a director or executive officer.
 
The special committee and board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger and the recommendation that our stockholders vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
 
 
Private Purchases of Shares; Lock-Up and Voting Agreements (Page 40 )
 
Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Park City entered into separate securities purchase agreements with CGA Resources, LLC, and Hudson Ventures, each a principal shareholder of the Company , pursuant to which Park City purchased an aggregate of 715.96 shares of Series E Stock. In addition, on September 12, 2008, certain other private investors entered into separate securities purchase agreements to acquire an aggregate of 382.526 shares of Series E Stock from SDS Capital Group, another principal shareholder of the Company. These purchases were arranged by Taglich Brothers, Inc., a financial advisor to Park City.  The purchasers of these shares included certain principals of Taglich Brothers.  Neither Taglich Brothers nor any of the purchasers have any relationship with the Company.  Taglich Brothers assisted Park City in arranging for these shares to be purchased, thus providing Park City with a higher level of comfort that the Merger will be completed.   The shares of Series E Stock acquired in connection with these transactions (collectively, the “Privately Purchased Shares”) were acquired from the selling stockholders at a purchase price of $3,865 per share. The Privately Purchased Shares constitute 66% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series E Stock. Park City intends to purchase all shares of Series G Stock and Common Stock held by the selling stockholders who sold the Privately Purchased Shares at or prior to the Effective Time at per share purchase prices of $1,136.36 and $0.05, respectively. Park City also intends to purchase prior to the Effective Time: (i) all shares of Common Stock owned by NewSpring Ventures, a principal shareholder of the Company,  at a per share purchase price of $0.05; and (ii) all shares of Series E Stock sold by SDS Capital Group on September 12, 2008 at a purchase price of $3.865 per share.  Michael DiPiano, one of our directors, serves as a managing partner of NewSpring Ventures, LP. To complete these purchases, Park City contemplates entering into a purchase agreement with each of the holders of such shares, providing for Park City to purchase the shares for cash payment just prior to closing the Merger.  The purchase agreements will be structured as a simultaneous sign-and-close, will contain no covenants, and include limited representations and warranties as to title, due authorization and no conflicts.  These purchases will not be completed unless all closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Park City has agreed to vote all of the forgoing shares in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3.
 
In connection with the foregoing, these selling stockholders, other than NewSpring Ventures, LP, entered into voting agreements with Park City pursuant to which each has agreed to vote all shares beneficially owned by them in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3. These shareholders hold an aggregate of 12,176,700 and 458.68 shares of Common Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, respectively, representing approximately 37% and 96% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Common Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, respectively. The voting agreements terminate in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated.
 
Payment for Shares of Stock; Procedure for Receiving Merger Consideration (Page 44 )
 
Promptly following the effective time of the Merger, a payment agent will mail a letter of transmittal and instructions to you and the other Prescient stockholders. The letter of transmittal will tell you how to surrender your stock certificates in exchange for the merger consideration. You should not return your stock certificates with the proxy card, and you should return your stock certificates with the letter of transmittal.
  
Opinion of Prescient's Financial Advisor (Page 26)
 
Our special committee and board of directors considered the financial analyses and opinion of Updata Advisors, Inc. (“Updata”) delivered orally to our board of directors and subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of August 28, 2008, and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the total value of the consideration paid to acquire the Privately Purchased Shares and total proposed Merger Consideration to be received in the aggregate by the holders of shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to our stockholders as a whole. The full text of the written opinion of Updata, dated September 11, 2008, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B and is incorporated in this proxy statement by reference. Updata provided its opinion for the information and assistance of our board of directors in connection with its consideration of the Merger. Updata’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock should vote with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement or any other matter. Pursuant to an engagement letter between us and Updata, under which Updata acted as financial advisor to Prescient on this transaction, we have agreed to pay Updata a transaction fee equal to approximately $650,000, of which $75,000 has been paid and $575,000 is payable upon completion of the Merger.
 
Financing (Page 34 )
 
 In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement on August 28, 2008, Park City acquired from two of the Company’s stockholders an aggregate of 715.96 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for $3,865 a share, or an aggregate of $2,767,185 (the “Aggregate Purchased Share Consideration”).  The source of funds for the Aggregate Purchased Share Consideration was Park City’s working capital and borrowings from certain affiliates of Park City (the “Purchased Share Loans”).  The Purchased Share Loans are expected to be repaid from proceeds from certain additional loans to Park City to be incurred in connection with the consummation of the Merger (“Merger Loans”), the proceeds from which will similarly fund the balance of the Merger Consideration.  Park City expects to repay the Merger Loans after consummation of the Merger from available cash resources and cash flow from operations of Park City and its subsidiaries (including the Company).
 
The Merger Consideration is required to be funded by Park City prior to the date of the Meeting. The Merger Agreement does not contain any financing contingencies.

The exchange of shares for cash pursuant to the Merger Agreement generally will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Stockholders who exchange their shares in the Merger will generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the cash received in the Merger and their adjusted tax basis in their shares surrendered. Because individual circumstances may differ, we urge you to consult your tax advisor for a complete analysis of the effect of the Merger on your federal, state and local and/or foreign taxes.
 
Conditions to the Merger (Page 46 )
 
Before we can complete the Merger, the following conditions must be satisfied. These include:
 
 
the adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders;
     
 
the absence of governmental judgments or orders that have the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger;
     
 
performance by Park City, Merger Sub and Mr. Fields of all obligations under the Merger Agreement in all material respects; and
     
 
the delivery of closing certificates by each of Park City, Merger Sub and Mr. Fields with respect to the satisfaction of the conditions relating to the obligations.
  
Restrictions on Solicitations of Other Offers (Page 47 )
 
The Merger Agreement restricts our ability to solicit, engage in or encourage discussions or negotiations with a third party regarding specified transactions regarding the Company and to provide information about the Company to any third party. Notwithstanding these restrictions, under certain circumstances required for our board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties, our board of directors may respond to an unsolicited alternative acquisition proposal or terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into an agreement with respect to an alternative proposal after paying a termination fee.
 
Termination of the Merger Agreement (Page 47 )
 
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Merger, whether before or after stockholder approval has been obtained:
 
 
By mutual agreement of Prescient and Park City;
       
 
By either Prescient or Park City if:
     
   
the Merger is not consummated by March 31, 2009 (the “Termination Date”), provided that if this proxy statement has not been mailed to our stockholders by February 14, 2009, the Termination Date shall be extended until the date that is 45 days after the date this proxy statement is mailed;
       
   
a governmental judgment or order has been enacted, issued, promulgated or granted and is in effect that prohibits or enjoins or otherwise prevents the consummation of the Merger; or
       
   
our stockholders do not adopt the Merger Agreement, the amendment to the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, or the amendment to the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
By Prescient if:
     
   
Park City does not deposit $2,500,000 into an escrow account on or before the date this proxy statement is mailed to our stockholders or if Park City does not deposit the remainder of the funds necessary to consummate the Merger into an escrow account at least one business day prior to the date of the Special Meeting;
       
   
prior to the consummation of the Merger, Mr. Fields, as our Chief Executive Officer, (i) causes (except as a co-signor) or authorizes any transfer of any funds of Prescient, and Mr. Fields fails to promptly cure any such breach after we provide notice of such breach to him; (ii) causes Prescient to make, offer or agree to make any loan to any person; (iii) causes Prescient to incur or agree to incur any debt except for trade debt in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iv) sells, offers or agrees to sell any of Prescient’s assets except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; or (v) causes Prescient to enter into any agreement with Park City or Mr. Fields;

our board of directors concludes in good faith that in order to satisfy its fiduciary duties under Delaware law, the board of directors must not make or withdraws its recommendation to our stockholders to approve the Merger.
 
Termination Fees and Expenses (Page 48 )
 
Under certain circumstances, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, we will be required to pay to Park City a termination fee of $250,000. Under certain circumstances, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, Park City will be required to (i) pay us a termination fee of the lesser of $2,500,000 or the full amount contained in the escrow account used to hold the funds necessary to consummate the Merger, and (ii) sell us all or a portion of the 715. 96 shares of Series E Stock owned by Park City at a purchase price of $0.001 per share.
  
If the Merger Agreement is terminated by us prior to the special meeting in order to consider or enter into a definitive agreement for an alternative acquisition proposal, we must pay to Park City a termination fee in the amount of $250,000, as described in further detail in “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses” below.
 
Remedies (Page 48 )
 
In the event that Park City receives the termination fee as described above, such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all damages incurred by it. In addition, the parties are entitled to seek specific performance of the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement with respect to the obligations of the other party or parties hereto, including seeking an injunction to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of the Merger Agreement and enforcing compliance with the covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement.
 
Appraisal Rights (Page 56 )
 
Under Delaware law, stockholders who do not vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement will have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery if the Merger is completed, but only if they comply with all requirements of Delaware law, which are summarized in this proxy statement. The judicially determined appraisal amount could be more than, the same as or less than the Merger Consideration. Any stockholder intending to exercise appraisal rights, among other things, must submit a written demand for an appraisal to us prior to the vote on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and must not vote or otherwise submit a proxy in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and must otherwise strictly comply with all of the procedures required by Delaware law. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Delaware law will result in the loss of your appraisal rights. A copy of the relevant section of Delaware law is attached hereto as Annex E.

Vote Required (Page 39 )
 
The adoption of the Merger Agreement, the amendment of the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, and the amendment of the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of Common Stock and Series E Stock, voting together as a single class, outstanding on the record date for special meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND THE MERGER
 
The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the special meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you. Please refer to the “Summary” and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement, the annexes to this proxy statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement, which you should read carefully. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 59.
 
Q.           What is the proposed transaction?
 
A.           The proposed transaction is the acquisition of Prescient by Park City. Once the Merger Agreement has been adopted by the stockholders and other closing conditions under the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park City, will merge with and into Prescient. Prescient will be the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park City and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock will not publicly trade after the Merger.
 
Q.           What will I receive in the Merger?
 
A.           Upon completion of the Merger, unless you have properly and validly perfected your statutory rights of appraisal with respect to the Merger: (i) if you own Common Stock, you will be entitled to receive $0.055 in cash, for each share of Common Stock that you own immediately prior to completion of the Merger; (ii) if you own Series E Stock, you will be entitled to receive $4,098.00 in cash, for each share of Series E Stock that you own immediately prior to completion of the Merger; and (iii) if you own Series G Stock, you will be entitled to receive $1,136.36 in cash for each share of Series G Stock that you own immediately prior to completion of the Merger, in each case, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax. For example, if you own 100 shares of Common Stock, 100 shares of Series E Stock and 100 shares of Series G Stock, you will receive $5.50, $409,800, and $113,636 in cash, respectively, in exchange for your shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock, respectively, less any applicable withholding tax. You will not own any shares in the Surviving Corporation.
 
Q:           How will options and warrants to purchase Company Common Stock be treated in the Merger?
 
A.           Stock Options. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to purchase Common Stock under our equity incentive plans, whether or not exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the options multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $0.055 exceeds the exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding options, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding options.
 
 
Warrants. Each warrant to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $0.055 exceeds the exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding warrants, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding warrants.
 
Q.           When and where is the special meeting?
 
A.           The special meeting of stockholders of Prescient will be held on [  ], 2008, at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the Company’s headquarters, 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380.
 
Q.           What vote is required for Prescient’s stockholders to approve the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement?
 
A.           An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, failure to vote in person or by proxy or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement.
 
Q.           What vote of our stockholders is required to approve the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of our Series E Stock?
 
A.           Approval of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Stock requires the affirmative vote of (i) holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, and (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, failure to vote in person or by proxy or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the amendment.
 
Q.           What vote of our stockholders is required to approve the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of our Series G Stock?
 
A.           Approval of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Stock requires the affirmative vote of (i) holders of at least three-fourths (3/4) of shares of Series G Stock outstanding on the record date, and (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of Common Stock and Series G Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, failure to vote in person or by proxy or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the amendment.
 
Q.           What was the role of the Special Committee?
 
A.           The board of directors appointed a special committee of independent directors , meaning directors who do not have a financial or other material interest in the outcome of the transaction, to negotiate and evaluate all potential transactions to purchase the Company and to recommend to the board of directors the transaction that resulted in the highest and best value that was available and in the best interests of Prescient’s stockholders.
 
Q.           What was the recommendation of the special committee to Prescient’s board of directors?
 
A.           The special committee has unanimously determined that the Merger and the Merger Agreement are advisable to and in the best interests of Prescient and its stockholders and recommended to Prescient’s board of directors that the Merger and the Merger Agreement be approved and adopted. In arriving at its conclusion, the special committee considered, among other factors, the opinion of Updata Advisors, an independent financial advisor that, subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth therein, as of August 28, 2008, the total value of the consideration paid to acquire the Private Purchased Shares and proposed Merger Consideration to be paid to Prescient’s stockholders in the Merger was fair from a financial point of view. See “ Special Factors − Opinion of Prescient’s Financial Advisor” on page 26.
 
Q.           How does Prescient’s board of directors recommend that I vote?
 
A.           The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, “FOR” the proposal to amend the Certificate Designation of our Series E Stock, and “FOR” the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of our Series G Stock.
 
Q.           What effects will the proposed Merger have on Prescient?
 
A.           As a result of the proposed Merger, Prescient will cease to be a publicly-traded company and will be wholly-owned by Park City. You will no longer have any interest in future earnings or growth of Prescient. Following consummation of the Merger, the registration of our Common Stock and our reporting obligations with respect to our Common Stock under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be terminated upon application to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, upon completion of the proposed Merger, shares of our Common Stock will no longer be listed on the OTCBB.
 
 
Q.           What happens if the Merger is not consummated?
 
A.           If the Merger Agreement is not adopted by stockholders or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, stockholders will not receive any payment for their shares in connection with the Merger. Instead, Prescient will remain an independent public company and our Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the OTC BB. Under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay Park City a termination fee as described under the caption “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses” beginning on page 48.
 
Q.           What happens if the amendments to our Certificates of Designation are not approved?
 
A.           Currently, the Certificate of Designation of our Series E Stock and the Certificate of Designation of our Series G Stock provide that in the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Series E Stock and Series G Stock shall each maintain its relative powers, designations and preferences provided for in the respective Certificate of Designation. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon the approval of amendments to the Certificates of Designation of our Series E Stock and our Series G Stock to provide for the Merger Agreement to govern the treatment of the Series E Stock and Series G Stock in the event the Merger is consummated. These amendments will provide for the holders of the Series E Stock and Series G Stock to receive the Merger Consideration. If either of the proposals to amend the Certificates of Designation is not approved, we will not proceed with the Merger.
 
Q.           What do I need to do now?
 
A.           We urge you to read the proxy statement carefully, including the annexes and to consider how the Merger and other proposals affect you. If you are a stockholder of record, you can ensure your shares are voted at the special meeting by completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card or voting by telephone or internet. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, we encourage you to return the enclosed proxy card. If you hold your shares in “street” name, you can ensure that your shares are voted at the special meeting by instructing your broker or nominee how to vote, as discussed below. Do NOT return your stock certificate(s) with your proxy.
  
Q.           How do I vote?
 
A.           You may vote by:
 
 
signing and dating each proxy card you receive and returning it in the enclosed prepaid envelope;
     
 
if you hold your shares in “street name,” follow the procedures provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.
 
If you return your signed proxy card, but do not mark the boxes showing how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, “FOR” the proposal to amend the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, and “FOR” the proposal to amend the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation.
 
Q.           If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, bank or other nominee, will my broker, bank or other nominee vote my shares for me?
 
A.            Yes, but only if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote. You should follow the procedures provided by your broker, bank or other nominee regarding the voting of your shares. If your broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares and if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares, your shares will not be voted and the effect will be the same as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, the proposal to amend the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, and the proposal to amend the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation.
 
Q.           How can I change or revoke my vote?
 
A.           You have the right to change or revoke your proxy at any time before the vote taken at the special meeting:
 
 
by notifying our Secretary at 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380;
     
 
by attending the special meeting and voting in person (your attendance at the special meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must vote in person at the special meeting); or
     
 
by submitting a later-dated proxy card.
 
 
If you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares, the above instructions do not apply and instead you must follow the directions received from your broker, bank or other nominee to change those instructions.
 
Q.           What do I do if I receive more than one proxy or set of voting instructions?
 
A.           If your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account, you may receive more than one proxy and/or set of voting instructions relating to the special meeting. These should each be completed, signed and/or returned separately as described elsewhere in this proxy statement in order to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
 
Q.           What happens if I sell my shares before the special meeting?
 
A.           The record date of the special meeting is earlier than the special meeting and the date that the Merger is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock or Series G Stock after the record date but before the special meeting, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting, but will have transferred the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be received by our stockholders in the Merger. In order to receive the Merger Consideration, you must hold your shares through completion of the Merger.
  
Q.           Am I entitled to exercise appraisal rights instead of receiving the Merger Consideration for my shares?
 
A.           Yes. As a holder of Common Stock, Series E Stock and/or Series G Stock, you are entitled to appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Merger if you meet certain conditions. See “Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal” beginning on page 56.
 
Q.           Should I send in my stock certificates now?
 
A.           No. After the Merger is completed, you will be sent a letter of transmittal with detailed written instructions for exchanging your Common Stock certificates for the Merger Consideration. If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to effect the surrender of your “street name” shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Please do not send your certificates in now.
 
Q:           When do you expect the Merger to be completed?
 
A:           We are working toward completing the Merger as quickly as possible, and we anticipate that it will be completed by the end of 2008, assuming satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Merger. However, because the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders (as defined below under “The Merger Agreement—Effective Time”), the exact timing of the completion of the Merger and the likelihood of the consummation thereof cannot be predicted. If any of the conditions in the Merger Agreement are not satisfied, including the conditions described below under “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 46 of this proxy statement, the Merger Agreement may terminate as a result.
 
Q:           Who will bear the cost of this solicitation?
 
A:           This solicitation is being made on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, the expenses of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the proxies solicited hereby as well as the fees, costs and expenses of a proxy solicitor will be borne by the Company. Additional solicitation may be made by telephone, facsimile or other contact by certain directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor. The Company will, upon request, reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for forwarding material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by others.
 
Q.           Who can help answer my other questions?
 
A.           If you have additional questions about the Merger, need assistance in submitting your proxy or voting your shares of Common Stock or need additional copies of the proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card, please (1) mail your request to Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380, Attn: Daniel W. Rumsey, or (2) call Daniel W. Rumsey, our Interim Chief Financial Officer at (310) 242-569 9 . If your broker holds your shares, you should call your broker for additional information.

Background of the Merger
 
Following consummation of our merger with Prescient Systems, Inc. in December 2005, we obtained financing in the amount of approximately $2.25 million from TAK Investments, LLC (TAK), and entered into a remote outsourcing agreement with an affiliate of TAK designed to significantly reduce certain operating and development costs, which agreement was later terminated. The Company continued its efforts to raise additional working capital, which efforts were unsuccessful. Management continued to evaluate a wide variety of different strategies to achieve positive cash flow, obtain necessary working capital and enhance stockholder value. These strategies included seeking acquisition or merger opportunities, possible partnerships or alliances, outsourcing opportunities, and other financing and strategic transactions. To assist in the process, we engaged Mufson, Howe, Hunter & Company LLC (MHH), a regional investment banking and financial advisory firm. These efforts failed to generate opportunities deemed acceptable to the Company’s board of directors , and MHH’s engagement with the Company was terminated, in November 2006.
 
We intensified efforts to achieve profitability and grow revenue during 2006 and early 2007, principally through cost cutting initiatives, reductions to staffing levels, and seeking merger or other strategic partners. On May 8, 2007, we announced our intent to merge with Fastech Integrated Solutions LLC (Fastech). The proposed acquisition was intended to accelerate profitability resulting from the elimination of redundant costs, as well as provide opportunities to accelerate growth. On July 17, 2007, we announced that we had terminated discussions to acquire Fastech, as a result of certain material adverse changes in the business of Fastech since the announcement of the proposed merger.
 
Following the termination of the proposed merger with Fastech, we continued to evaluate options intended to enhance shareholder value. Specifically, we retained a senior consultant to assist in developing our sales organization, as well as management’s efforts in identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities. In a special meeting of our board of directors held on August 1, 2007, management recommended, and the board approved, that management focus on a possible sale of the Company, in addition to possible acquisitions or mergers. The board’s support was based on its assessment that the Company’s valuation had substantially increased since achieving profitability in the fourth quarter of 2006, and that the Company could address many of its challenges in growing an effective sales organization, and therefore, could increase revenue and cash flow, if it were part of a larger enterprise.
 
To assist management in bringing opportunities to the board to review, at a meeting of the board held on October 31, 2007, the board approved management’s recommendation to engage Updata Advisers, Inc. (Updata), an investment advisory firm. Updata was selected following management’s review of several regional investment banking firms specializing in information technology, which included presentations and site visits from prospective firms.  These firms were selected for consideration based on referrals, reputation, and experience in the software industry.  Management selected Updata based on Updata’s experience in mergers, acquisitions, private placements, fairness opinions and corporate restructurings for the information technology industry, including software as a service.  In addition, Updata is perennially ranked among the top five advisors in transaction volume to companies in the computer software, supplies and services industry, a factor that management considered important in considering Updata’s ability to successfully bring opportunities to the board of directors for its consideration.
 
Updata’s engagement also included assisting management in analyzing and evaluating the business, operations and financial position of the Company, and serving as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with a possible transaction. At that meeting, the board established a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Rumsey and Jones, to consider possible transactions presented to the board.   Messrs. Rumsey and Jones were selected because of Mr. Rumsey’s experience in negotiating merger and acquisition transactions, his executive management role with the Company, and because each of the directors were considered to be independent as they did not have any material financial or other interest in the outcome of any possible transaction.
 
On November 14, 2007, representatives of Updata made a presentation to the Company’s board, which focused on issues relating to valuation, and the process for marketing the Company. At that meeting, the board also considered a plan to recapitalize the Company’s preferred stock, in light of the challenges our capital structure presented in consummating potential transactions. At that time the Series E Stock and Series G Stock had a combined stated value, or liquidation preference, of $21,878,370. The board authorized management to seek support from the holders of our preferred stock regarding the terms of a possible recapitalization. Mr. Rumsey discussed a possible recapitalization of the Company’s preferred stock with certain substantial holders of preferred stock, who expressed their support, but only as part of a combination or other strategic transaction.
 
 
On February 5, 2008, Updata delivered a status report to the board, at its regularly scheduled meeting. At that meeting, representatives of Updata summarized its efforts to market the Company, including the number of companies contacted, and the number expressing an interest in acquiring the Company.  Representatives of Updata also advised the board that expected indications of interest were anticipated to be at valuations substantially lower than original estimated.  Following discussion, management advised the board of its intent to develop a contingent plan to break up the Company in the event valuations for the Company were unacceptable, and it was determined that the value of individual business units were higher than the total valuation of the Company as expressed to Updata by those parties interested in further pursuing discussions with us.
 
The board again met to receive an update from management at a special meeting of the board held on March 5, 2008. At that meeting, management advised that no firm offers had been received by the Company, but several parties were preparing indications of interest, or offers. Following March 5, 2008, management received several preliminary indications of interest in acquiring the Company.   The indications of interest received after March 5, 2008 were relayed to the Company through Updata.  All indications of interest were preliminary, non-binding, and expressed valuation ranges for either all or parts of the Company.  Each was subject to completion of due diligence, and a definitive agreement on price and other terms to be negotiated in connection with the execution of definitive agreements.   Only two of the initial indications of interest proposed valuation ranges that exceeded the valuation placed on the Company by Park City.  Except as described below, none of the indications of interest led to firm offers by the prospective buyers.

At a special meeting held on April 2, 2008, the board met to consider the indications of interest, and receive a report from representatives of Updata. In addition, Mr. Rumsey reviewed alternatives to selling the Company at the current valuations, although Mr. Rumsey advised that shareholders holding a substantial portion of the Company’s preferred stock had expressed their support for a sale of the Company at the highest and best offer. Management advised that a formal plan to separate the Company was nearing completion, in reaction to the interest shown by certain strategic buyers in purchasing individual business lines rather than the entire Company, and that it was possible that such offers in the aggregate could exceed the valuations set forth in indications of interest received by the Company.
 
On April 10, 2008, the board again met at a special meeting called for the purpose of considering a March 31, 2008 indication of interest of a prospective financial buyer, which represented the highest and best offer received to date. At that meeting, Mr. Rumsey reviewed efforts of the board to increase shareholder value since March 2006 when the Company engaged MHH, and the results from such efforts. He also outlined the discussions he had with senior executives at certain companies competing in markets served by the Company regarding possible combinations, many of which were facing similar challenges as the Company. Mr. Rumsey then discussed alternatives to accepting the offer represented by the proposed indication of interest, including taking the Company private, growing the Company organically, and selling individual business units. Mr. Rumsey reiterated the desire of certain holders of the Company’s preferred stock to pursue the indication of interest in lieu of pursuing alternatives that may place the Company’s profitability at risk, which would likely result in a further decrease in the current valuations being placed on the Company. Management advised the board that it would continue to attempt to improve upon the current indications of interest, and would provide the board with additional information necessary in its deliberations. At that meeting, the board approved the appointment of Mr. Kiernan and Ms. Fox to the special committee, and Mr. Jones resigned for personal reasons.   Mr. Fox and Kiernan were appointed to the special committee because of their independence, as neither had  any material financial or other interest in the outcome of any possible transaction, neither was employed by the Company, and both satisfied the independence standards for directors established by the American Stock Exchange.
 
On April 23, 2008, representatives of the prospective financial buyer met with management at our offices in West Chester, Pennsylvania, for the purposes of conducting preliminary due diligence in furtherance of its indication of interest.   The prospective financial buyer later withdrew its indication of interest; however, management of the prospective financial buyer advised that it might be willing to provide a revised indication of interest at a proposed valuation range approximately 30% less than the range set forth in its original indication of interest, subject to completion of additional due diligence, approximately other factors.  The proposed revised valuation range was deemed unacceptable to the Board, and the prospective financial buyer declined to submit a higher offer.  The revised valuation range offered by the prospective financial buyer was approximately 23% to 33% less than the Merger Consideration offered by Park City.

As a result of the elimination of the prospective financial buyer, one financial buyer remained that had expressed an interest in acquiring the Company at a valuation exceeding the offer proposed by Park City.  That financial buyer later withdrew its offer due to factors unrelated to the Company.  Also pending were certain non-binding expressions of interest for parts of the Company’s business at valuations that were substantially less than the reduced valuation expressed by the prospective financial buyer for the entire Company.  Management believed that these expressions of interest were not in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders due to, among other reasons, the low valuations offered and the desire by management to seek alternatives that maximized the value of the entire enterprise for the Company's shareholders.  Management, therefore, did not pursue these expressions of interest.
 
 
On May 5, 2008, Ms. Hoffer met with Randy Fields, Park City’s President and Chief Executive Officer, in Philadelphia.   At that meeting, Ms. Hoffer and Mr. Fields discussed potential synergies and the perceived benefits of a combination of the Company and Park City , and concluded that sufficient interest existed to warrant further discussion.   During July, 2007, Messrs. Rumsey and Fields had a  preliminary conversation regarding each company’s interest in a possible transaction ; however, this conversation  failed to result in sufficient interest to justify further discussions. Following the meeting with Ms. Hoffer and Mr. Fields on May 5, 2008, the full board met at our corporate office on May 8, 2008 for its regularly scheduled board meeting, at which time the board received an update from management regarding prospective interest in the Company, including from Park City. At the meeting, representatives of Updata provided a summary of its marketing activities. Updata reported that 49 potential acquirers had been approached since December 2007, that Company management had conducted seven meetings with potential acquirers between December 7, 2007 and May 6, 2008, and that 28 potential acquirers determined not to submit offers for the Company due to, among other reasons, the Company’s lack of scale or critical mass, absence of growth, client concentration, and relatively small market size. Updata’s representatives also summarized current indications of interest received to date, for both the entire Company and individual business lines. Following the summary, Updata advised the board that, based on (i) indications of interest received to date, (ii) feedback from potential acquirers who had been approached during the process, (iii) the Company’s revenue projections, (iv) the limited size of the Company’s core markets, and (v) the macroeconomic environment, the Company’s valuation was substantially lower than originally estimated. At that meeting, the board also received a verbal presentation from a research director from AMR Research, confirming Updata’s conclusions regarding the absence of growth in scan based trading, one of our core markets.
  
Following the May 8, 2008 meeting of the board, Mr. Rumsey and Mr. Fields held several discussions focusing on relative valuations, corporate structure, and other issues regarding the proposed Merger .  On May 12 and 13, 2008, Ms. Hoffer met with management of Park City, including Mr. Fields, at Park City’s corporate offices in Park City, Utah.   The purpose of the meetings was to further review operating and business synergies, to begin the process of building financial models in support of a possible transaction, and to discuss the terms and conditions of a possible combination.
 
On May 29, 2008, Park City transmitted an indication of interest to the Company, proposing to acquire the Company for a combination of cash, stock and notes, with the cash portion representing approximately 7.5% of the total consideration. Mr. Rumsey and Ms. Hoffer met with management of Park City at Park City’s corporate offices on June 2 and 3, 2008 to negotiate terms and conditions of the proposed Merger, to conduct initial due diligence, and to further the process of building financial models and organizational structure assuming consummation of the Merger.
 
While senior management of the Company and Park City continued to work on a plan to bring the companies together, and negotiate terms, representatives from Updata continued to contact parties who had expressed an interest in acquiring the Company in an attempt to obtain an offer that could effectively compete with the proposal from Park City, which presented significant and numerous challenges to complete given the required participation by holders of a substantial portion of the Company’s preferred stock, among other issues.
 
On June 11, 2008, the board met at a special meeting called for the purpose of receiving an update from Updata regarding its efforts to secure higher offers for the Company, and to hear a presentation from management of Park City regarding the proposed combination. Following the presentation, Mr. Rumsey advised the board in executive session that the offer received from Park City was the highest and best offer received to date. He also advised the board that he was discussing the potential offer with certain holders of the Company’s Series E Stock and Series G Stock, whose consent was a condition to consummation of the potential merger. He further advised that Updata was still trying to improve upon the previous indications of interest received from prospective financial buyers. At that meeting, the board authorized management to continue to negotiate a potential merger with Park City on substantially the terms presented to the board.
 
Subsequent to the board’s special meeting on June 11, 2008, senior management of the Company and Park City held several conference calls to develop and review the combined operating and financial plan, and met in person at their respective offices in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Park City, Utah, and Dallas, Texas for the purpose of developing a proposed integration plan.
 
On June 24, 2008, the special committee of the board held a meeting, and invited certain members of Park City management to present its operating and financial plan to members of the special committee. Following the presentation, the special committee met in executive session and expressed continued support for the proposed Merger.
 
On June 28, 2008, the Company received an indication of interest from a prospective financial buyer offering to acquire the Company in an all cash offer, at a valuation materially less than the cash, subordinated notes and common stock offer presented by Park City. Since the offer represented an all cash offer, management reviewed the potential offer relative to the proposed offer from Park City, applying a discounted value to the offer from Park City given the risk associated with the subordinated notes and common stock (which together comprised in excess of 90% of the total consideration) proposed to be offered by Park City, and concluded that the proposed Park City offer presented the higher and better offer. Messrs. Rumsey and Fields continued negotiations to address issues related to Park City’s offer, specifically the mix of Merger Consideration offered, and the complexity of the proposed offer.  Mr. Rumsey’s efforts were intended to simplify Park City’s offer and to improve several of the terms and conditions of the debt component of the Merger Consideration.

 
Between June 30 and July 3, 2008, management of the Company, including Mr. Rumsey, met with senior management of Park City at Park City’s corporate offices to continue conducting due diligence, to negotiate specific terms and conditions, and to further develop the integration plan. In turn, between July 8 and July 10, 2008, Park City management traveled to the Company’s corporate offices to conduct due diligence, and further develop and review the proposed operating and financial plan.
  
On July 15, 2008, management of Park City made a presentation to representatives of the Company’s four largest holders of Series E Stock, summarizing the benefits of the proposed Merger. Together, these representatives controlled approximately 50% of the Company’s Common Stock, 83% of the Series E Stock, and 100% of the Series G Stock. Also present for the presentation was certain management of the Company, and certain members of the Company’s board of directors, including members of the special committee.
 
Between July 21, 2008 and July 25, 2008, the Company’s sales, marketing and development teams met to further develop and revise integration plans, and to rationalize their respective operations, to support Park City’s proposed offer for the Company.
 
On July 26, 2008, the prospective financial buyer whose offer was previously rejected, indicated that it would be willing to increase its offer for the Company, with certain conditions to closing. Based on the discounted analysis of the proposed offer from Park City, the higher indication of interest received from the prospective financial buyer represented an offer that, in management’s view, effectively challenged the offer for the Company presented by Park City, especially given the complexity of Park City’s offer, and the risks associated with the subordinated notes and Common Stock offered as a substantial portion of the Merger Consideration.
 
The special committee met on July 28, 2008 to consider the offer from Park City and the revised offer presented by the prospective financial buyer. Following a review of (i) the risks and challenges associated with each transaction, including the challenges in obtaining necessary consents from holders of the Company’s Series E Stock and Series G Stock required in connection with the proposed Merger; and (ii) the relative values of each proposed transaction, applying a discounted value to the consideration offered in connection with the Merger, the special committee expressed support for the revised all cash offer from the prospective financial buyer, and directed management to negotiate terms and conditions for presentation to the full board for review and approval, while continuing to attempt to improve upon the offer from Park City to both reduce its complexity and improve the attractiveness of the offer to our shareholders.
 
On August 5, 2008, the Company and the prospective financial buyer executed an exclusivity agreement requiring that we negotiate exclusively with them for eight (8) days, which agreement permitted us to continue negotiations with Park City. During this period, we responded to requests from the prospective financial buyer for certain documents to facilitate due diligence, and negotiations with Park City continued with the objective of improving the terms and conditions of the proposed Merger.
 
On August 11, 2008, the board met at its regularly scheduled meeting to address the issues presented by the offer from Park City, and to receive an update from management regarding the status of the offer from the prospective financial buyer, which continued to conduct due diligence. At that meeting, the board directed management to advise management of Park City that the board would not approve the current offer from Park City in the absence of a substantially simplified transaction resulting in the payment of a greater portion of the purchase price in cash, among other terms and conditions.
 
Management of the Company and the prospective financial buyer continued negotiating the terms of a potential acquisition during the weeks of August 11 and 18, 2008, including negotiating an agreement and plan of merger, and related documents. During this period, management of Park City discussed its proposal with certain substantial holders of our Series E Stock, whose support was required to gain approval of the potential Merger. Those discussions focused on the objections raised by such holders to the debt component of the Merger Consideration and their preference for an all cash transaction.   On August 21, 2008, management of Park City advised management of the Company that it had reached an agreement with certain holders of our Series E Stock to acquire their interests for all cash in private transactions, and was proposing acquiring, for cash, all remaining equity interests from the Company’s shareholders upon consummation of the Merger at a premium to the price paid to the holders of the Series E Stock. Between August 22 and August 25, 2008, management of the Company negotiated certain covenants and other terms designed to protect shareholders in the event the Merger failed, including, among other terms and conditions, providing us with the right and option to acquire the Series E Stock purchased from the holders thereof in the private transaction, at a price of $0.001 per share.
  
On August 26, 2008, the special committee met to review and consider the revised terms proposed by Park City relative to the proposed offer from the prospective financial buyer, and to review with counsel its fiduciary and related duties to shareholders.   At that meeting, the special committee recommended that the full board approve the proposed Merger with Park City, subject to Park City’s agreement to certain conditions designed to (i) protect shareholders in the event of a failed Merger, (ii) eliminate as many conditions to Park City’s obligation as possible in order to provide more certainty to closing than the competing offer from the prospective financial buyer, (iii) provide a higher level of comfort that Park City would have funds available to complete the Merger together with liquidated damages if Park City failed to have the funding necessary to complete the Merger, and (iv) to permit the board to consider other proposals, withdraw its recommendation that its stockholders approve the Merger and terminate the Merger Agreement if in its judgment, it would be required to do so in order to satisfy its fiduciary and related duties to shareholders. The recommendation of the special committee reflected the higher value placed on the Company by Park City relative to the value placed on the Company by the prospective financial buyer, the concomitant higher premium paid to holders of the Company’s Common and Preferred Stock, and greater certainty of closing as a result of the very limited conditions to closing.   A summary of certain of the principal terms considered by the special committee, by way of example, are set forth below:
 
 
Proposed Term

(1)  
The proposed Merger Consideration represents the approximate net distribution to all holders of the Company’s equity securities, including Common Stock, Series E Stock, and Series G Stock, after deducting closing and related costs of approximately $675,000.
     
 
(2)  
In addition to the $2,500,000 to be paid to the Company in the event Park City fails to close, if the Merger fails to close prior to the Special Meeting, but after Park City deposited an additional $2,078,982 in escrow, such additional funds would be paid to the Company, thereby increasing the break-up fee to $4,578,982 at Closing.  The Company also has the option to purchase a certain number of shares of Series E Stock held by Park City for $.001 per share in the event Park City failed to close.

               The full board, with all members in attendance, met following the meeting of the special committee. At the invitation of the board, representatives of Updata were present to provide its prospective regarding the proposed offers by the prospective financial buyer and Park City and outside counsel to discuss the board’s fiduciary duties to its shareholders. Following a detailed briefing by Mr. Rumsey regarding the status of the Park City offer, as well as the offer by the prospective financial buyer, the board unanimously accepted, with one abstention, the recommendation of the special committee, and directed management to negotiate a definitive agreement and plan of merger with Park City. Michael DiPiano abstained based on his position as a principal of NewSpring Capital, a substantial holder of Series E Stock, and his belief that such position presented a conflict in voting to approve the proposal.   The board also directed management to advise the prospective financial buyer of the superior offer, at such time as Park City had agreed to the conditions approved by the special committee, and to allow the prospective financial buyer the opportunity to submit a superior offer for the Company.
 
Park City agreed to each of the board’s conditions, with the exception of the issuance to the Company of an option to purchase 100% of the Series E Stock acquired in the private transactions for par value in the event of a failed Merger, which Park City proposed reducing to 50% following the date the proxy statement was mailed to shareholders so long as $2,500,000 had been placed into escrow to fund payment of the Merger Consideration and that such amount would be paid to the Company in the event of a failed Merger. The full board met to consider the proposal on August 28, 2008, at which meeting the proposal was accepted. On August 29, 2008, the board, with all members in attendance, met to review in detail each of the terms and conditions set forth in the draft Merger Agreement. At the meeting, the Merger Agreement was unanimously approved, with such changes deemed appropriate by management of the Company. Following the board’s approval, Mr. Rumsey advised the prospective financial buyer of the superior offer. The prospective financial buyer declined to submit a superior offer, and Mr. Rumsey executed the Merger Agreement on the afternoon of August 28, 2008. On September 3, 2008, the Company and Park City issued a joint public announcement of the Merger.

 
Purpose and Reasons for the Merger
 
Prescient’s Purpose and Reasons for the Merger
 
Our special committee, acting with the advice and assistance of the Company’s independent legal and financial advisors, evaluated and negotiated the Merger proposal, including the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, with Park City and Merger Sub. The special committee unanimously recommended that the board of directors:
 
 
approve and adopt the Merger Agreement;
     
 
approve the Merger; and
     
 
recommend that the stockholders of Prescient vote for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement.
 
After considering the recommendation of the special committee, our board of directors (i) determined that the terms of the Merger are fair and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders , including the unaffiliated holders of our Common Stock, and declared it advisable to enter into the Merger Agreement providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement and (iii) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company adopt the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
  
In the course of reaching its determination, the special committee and board of directors considered Park City’s proposed concurrent acquisition of 43% of our outstanding Series E Stock, which is equal to 10% of the voting power of the Company. The special committee and board of directors also considered a number of positive factors and potential benefits of the Merger, each of which the members of the board of directors believed supported its decision. The factors the special committee and board of directors considered included the following material factors:
 
 
The modest growth in our revenue since the merger with Prescient Systems, Inc. in 2005, and our concern that our ability to grow future revenue posed a substantial risk to our shareholders, absent the consummation of a strategic or other transaction;
     
 
the current and historical market prices of Common Stock and the fact that the price of $0.055 per share represented a premium to those historical prices, a premium of approximately 83% to the closing share price of Common Stock on August 27, 2008, the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, and a premium of approximately 68% to the average closing price for the thirty (30) trading days prior to August 27, 2008;
     
 
our inability, despite ongoing efforts to solicit additional offers from other potential strategic and financial acquirers, to receive a better offer;
     
 
the board’s belief that the Merger was more favorable to our stockholders than any other alternative reasonably available to us and our stockholders and the risks and uncertainties associated with being able to enter into and consummate the Merger as compared to the risks and uncertainties associated with alternative transactions, and continuing to seek other proposals;
     
 
the possible alternatives to the sale of Prescient, including continuing to operate on a stand-alone basis, and the risks and uncertainties associated with such alternatives, compared to the certainty of realizing in cash a fair value for their investment provided to our stockholders by the Merger. Some of the risks of continuing to operate on a stand-alone basis include:
     
   
the fact that, when purchasing strategic and mission-critical solutions of the type we offer, customers increasingly seek to deal with vendors that are much larger than us, making it difficult for us to attract new customers;
       
   
the risk of attrition in our current customer base;
       
   
the difficulty in increasing our revenues;
       
   
the challenges we face at our present scale or at any scale we might reasonably be able to achieve within the next several years;
 
 
   
the size and lengthy sales cycle for many of our revenue transactions, coupled with the limited number of revenue transactions per quarter, making stability and predictability of quarterly revenues and profits difficult;
       
   
our dependence on certain key customers, especially in view of the difficulties we have experienced in replacing lost customers and in generating new accounts;
       
   
the internal estimates of our future financial performance we provided to third parties, as well as the potential impact on such future financial performance of the many challenges and risks to our business; and
       
   
the fact that recent and historical trading volumes in our Common Stock make it difficult for stockholders to achieve any liquidity through open market sales, whereas the consummation of the Merger would provide complete liquidity;
 
 
the process undertaken to solicit potential purchasers of the Company, with the assistance of our financial and legal advisors, including the length and scope of the process and the multiple opportunities that had been provided to possible purchasers to make an offer to buy the Company;
     
 
the results of the sale process, including the feedback provided by parties that declined interest in acquiring the Company;
     
 
the likelihood and expected timing of consummating the Merger compared to the likelihood and expected timing and probability of closing alternative transactions, including identifying and negotiating with other possible acquirers and receiving a bids from them;
     
 
the fact that if we did not execute the Merger Agreement, there was no assurance that any of the other parties that had indicated a potential interest in a business combination with us would still be willing to negotiate towards a transaction with us, and our belief that the purchase price in a transaction with such other parties could be below $0.055 per share;
     
 
the desire of certain significant holders of our Preferred Stock to consummate the Merger; and
     
 
the terms of the Merger Agreement, including:
     
   
our ability, under certain limited circumstances, to furnish information to and conduct negotiations with third parties regarding other proposals;
       
   
our ability to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to consider or accept an alternative acquisition proposal, subject to paying Park City a termination fee of $250,000;
       
   
the absence of any financing contingency;
       
   
if Park City breaches the Merger Agreement, in some instances after notice and a cure period, to pay us the full amount contained in the escrow account of up to $2,500,000 and sell to us, depending on the circumstances, either all or 50% of the shares of Series E Stock owned by Park City at a price of $0.001 per share;
       
   
the fact that the Merger Consideration is all cash, allowing our stockholders to immediately realize a value for their investment, while also providing such stockholders certainty of value for their shares; and
       
   
the availability of appraisal rights to stockholders who comply with all of the required procedures under Delaware law, which allows such holders to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
 
The special committee and board of directors also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Merger Agreement and the Merger, including the following:
 
 
the risks and costs to us if the Merger does not close, including the diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee attrition and the potential effect on our business and relationships with customers and suppliers;
     
 
the fact that our stockholders will not participate in any future earnings or growth of the Company and will not benefit from any appreciation in value of the Company, including any appreciation in value that could be realized as a result of improvements to the Company’s operations;
 
 
  
the requirement that we pay Park City a termination fee of $250,000 if our board of directors accepts an alternative acquisition proposal;
 
the interests of our officers and directors in the Merger, including the payment to our president and chief operating officer of possible severance; and
 
the fact that an all cash transaction would be taxable to the Company’s stockholders that are U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
Our special committee and board of directors also considered the financial analyses and opinion of Updata Advisors, delivered orally to our special committee and board of directors and subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of September 11, 2008, and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the total value of the consideration paid to acquire the Privately Purchased Shares and proposed Merger Consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was fair from a financial point of view. The full text of the written opinion of Updata Advisors, dated September 11, 2008, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B and is incorporated in this proxy statement by reference. Updata Advisors provided its opinion for the information and assistance of our board of directors in connection with its consideration of the Merger. The Updata Advisors opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of stock should vote with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement or any other matter.
 
The foregoing discussion summarizes the material factors considered by the special committee and board of directors in its consideration of the Merger. After considering these factors, as well as others, the special committee and board of directors concluded that the positive factors relating to the Merger Agreement and the Merger outweighed the potential negative factors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the special committee and board of directors and the complexity of these matters, the special committee and board of directors did not find it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the foregoing factors but conducted an overall analysis of the transaction. In addition, individual members of the special committee or board of directors may have assigned different weights to various factors. The special committee and board of directors unanimously approved and recommends the Merger Agreement and the Merger based upon the totality of the information presented to and considered by it.
 
The board of directors, based in part on the recommendation of the special committee, recommends that Prescient’s stockholders vote FOR the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement. The recommendation of the board of directors was made after careful consideration of all the material factors, both positive and negative, as described above.
 
Park City’s , Merger Sub’s and Randall K. Fields’ Purpose and Reasons for the Merger
 
Under applicable SEC rules, Park City , Merger Sub and Randall K. Fields are deemed to be engaged in a “going private” transaction and, therefore, are required to express their reasons for the Merger to Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders, as defined in Rule 13e−3 under the Exchange Act. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields are making the statements included in this section solely for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Rule 13e−3 and related rules under the Exchange Act.
 
For Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields, the reason for the Merger is to complete the acquisition of 100% of each class of Capital Stock of the Company. Park City and Merger Sub will achieve this by way of the Merger of Merger Sub with and into Prescient, pursuant to which (i) all of the shares of Prescient Common Stock not already owned by Park City will be cancelled in exchange for $0.055 per share in cash, (ii) all of the shares of Series E Stock not already owned by Park City will be cancelled in exchange for $4,098.00 per share in cash, and (iii) all of the shares of Series G Stock not already owned by Park City will be cancelled in exchange for $1,136.36 per share in cash, so that Prescient can be operated as a privately held wholly owned company by Park City. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields believe that structuring the transaction in such manner will enable Park City to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Prescient, and at the same time, it provides an opportunity for Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders to receive cash for their investment at a full, compelling, fair value, and premium for their shares.

Park City, Merger Sub and Mr. Fields also believe Park City will benefit from any future earnings and growth of Prescient after the Merger, and Park City will bear the risk of its investment in Prescient. Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders will not benefit from any future earnings and growth of Prescient after the Merger, and they will not bear the risk of investment in Prescient. For federal income tax consequences of the transaction for Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders, you should read the “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Our Stockholders” section of this proxy statement.
 
In addition, Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields believe that if the Merger is completed, Park City will be better positioned to enhance Prescient’s competitive position in the market, increase Prescient’s financial flexibility, focus on long−term decision making for Prescient, simplify Prescient’s organization, accelerate Prescient’s investment in technology, and reduce the costs associated with operations including those of being a public company. They also believe that Park City can offer additional products and services to Prescient’s clients, therefore generating revenue that would not otherwise be possible in the absence of the Merger.

 
Recommendations of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors; Reasons for Recommending the Approval and Adoption of the Merger Agreement
 
Both the special committee and the board of directors of Prescient has determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are fair to, advisable to and in the best interests of the unaffiliated stockholders of Prescient, including holders of Common Stock. The special committee has unanimously recommended that the board of directors:
 
 
approve and adopt the merger agreement;
     
 
approve the merger; and
     
 
recommend that the stockholders of Prescient vote for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement.
 
After considering the recommendation of the special committee, the board of directors has unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement, approved the Merger, and recommends that the stockholders of Prescient vote for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement.
 
In reaching its determination that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are fair to, and in the best interests of unaffiliated stockholders of Prescient, including holders of Common Stock, and making its recommendation, both the special committee and the board of directors considered the financial information, projections and assumptions (based on the best information available to management at that time) provided by management.
 
In reaching its determination and making its recommendation, the special committee and the board of directors considered factors including:
 
 
the opinion delivered by Updata Advisors on September 11, 2008 that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the assumptions, factors, limitations and qualifications set forth in the opinion, the total value of the consideration paid to acquire the Privately Purchased Shares and total proposed Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to our stockholders as a whole, of which the conclusions and analyses underlying such opinion were expressly adopted by the special committee;
     
 
the special committee’s and the board of director’s consideration of the various analyses undertaken by Updata Advisors, each of which is described below under “Opinion of Prescient’s Financial Advisor”;
 
 
the special committee’s and the board of director’s belief that while the principal advantage of Prescient continuing as a public company would be to allow public stockholders to continue to participate in any growth in the value of Prescient’s equity, the value to stockholders that would be achieved by continuing as a public company in the near to intermediate term was not likely to be as great as the Merger Consideration of $0.055 per share of Common Stock in view of (i) the $21,878,370 of liquidation preferences applicable to our outstanding Series E and Series G shares would require over a ten fold increase in our market capitalization before holders of our Common Stock would realize any additional value above the liquidation preference, and (ii) trading characteristics of companies with market capitalizations similar in size and business characteristics to Prescient.
     
 
the active and direct role of the members of the special committee in the negotiations with respect to the Merger, and the consideration of the transaction by the special committee at numerous special committee meetings;
     
 
the negotiations that took place between Prescient and another third party regarding an alternative transaction proposal, which in the opinion of the special committee, was less favorable for Prescient’s stockholders, including holders of Common Stock, due, in part, to the lower consideration offered in such transaction proposal;
     
 
the terms of the Merger Agreement that permit Prescient, under certain circumstances, to furnish information to and conduct negotiations with a third party that has made an alternative unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal;
     
 
the terms of the Merger Agreement that permit our board of directors, prior to the time that Prescient receives the approval of its stockholders, to withhold or withdraw its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement and the Merger if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law;
     
 
the right of either Park City or Prescient to terminate the Merger Agreement in the event that our board of directors withholds or withdraws its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement and the Merger due to the existence of an alternative acquisition proposal;
 
 
 
the availability to stockholders who vote against approval of the Merger Agreement of appraisal rights under Delaware law, which provide stockholders who dispute the fairness of the Merger Consideration with an opportunity to have a court determine the fair value of their shares; and
     
 
the Merger will provide liquidity, without the brokerage and other costs typically associated with market sales, for Prescient’s public stockholders whose ability, absent the Merger, to sell their shares of Prescient Common Stock is adversely affected by the limited trading volume and low public float of the shares.
 
The special committee and Prescient’s board of directors also considered that the Merger Consideration of $0.055 per share of Common Stock represented a premium of approximately 83% to the $.03 closing market price of Prescient Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on August 27, 2008, the last trading day before the Merger Agreement was executed, a 57% premium to the closing market price one week prior to the last trading day before the Merger Agreement was executed, and an 83% premium to the closing market price four weeks prior to the last trading day before the Merger Agreement was executed.  The special committee and board of directors were aware of and considered that the Merger Consideration of $0.055 per share was less than the average price per share of Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board during the year preceding the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, and was substantially less than the highest price of its Common Stock reported on the OTC Bulletin Board during the year preceding the last trading day prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement.  However, in light of, among other factors cited above (i) the liquidation preference applicable to our outstanding Preferred Stock; (ii) the analysis of the valuation of Prescient conducted by Updata Advisors; (iii) the absence of adequate liquidity for Prescient’s stockholders to sell their Common Stock without materially and adversely affecting the trading price of our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board; and (iv) management’s belief that revenue growth presented a material challenge, which could adversely affect Prescient’s ability to increase shareholder value, the special committee and board of directors have concluded that the Merger Consideration of $0.055 is fair to the unaffiliated holders of Common Stock.

While the opinion of Updata Advisors does not specifically address the fairness of the Merger or the per share Merger Consideration to unaffiliated holders of Common Stock, the special committee and board of directors believes that the opinion supports their conclusion that the Merger and Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the unaffiliated holders of the Company’s Common Stock.  The special committee and board of directors interpret Updata Advisors’ opinion to mean that the Merger Consideration and the consideration to acquire the Privately Purchased Shares represents a fair valuation for the entire Company.  In its opinion, Updata analyzed sales of comparable public companies with stock prices of less than $5.00 per share with respect to premiums paid over the target's publicly traded stock price at one, five and thirty trading days prior to the announcement of such transactions and concluded that the premius ranged between 35% and 179%, 39% and 202% and 49% and 242% of the average of target's publicly traded stock price at one, five and thirty trading days prior to the announcement of such transactions, respectively.  The per share Merger Consideration to be paid to the unaffiliated holders of the Company's Common Stock is within the premium range identified by Updata.  Realizing this premium in a transaction where the total consideration is viewed as fair by Updata and where the holders of the Company's Series E Stock and Series G Stock are receiving substantially less than the approximate $21.0 million of liquidation preference applicable to such shares, provided further support to the special committee and board's conclusion that the Merger Consideration to be paid to the unaffiliated holders of our Common Stock was fair. 

The special committee and board of directors believes that each of these factors supported its conclusion that the Merger is fair to, advisable to and in the best interests of Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders, including unaffiliated holders of Prescient Common Stock . In reaching its determination and making its recommendation, the special committee and board of directors considered the value of each of Prescient’s businesses individually in determining the fairness of the Merger and Merger Consideration to unaffiliated stockholders, including holders of Common Stock, and received informal expressions of interest for such businesses following the engagement of Updata Advisors and prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement.  Each such indication of interest valued Prescient substantially below the Merger Consideration.  Based on the lower aggregate valuation for the individual businesses, the special committee and board of directors concluded that the liquidation value of Prescient’s assets and value of individual businesses would be substantially below the value of Prescient’s assets as a single going concern.

Further, neither the special committee nor the board of directors considered net book value, which is an accounting concept, as a factor because they believe that net book value is not a material indicator of the value of Prescient as a going concern but rather is indicative of historical costs. The special committee and the board of directors considered the valuation analyses presented by Updata Advisors, some of which represented the sale of the Company as a continuing business and some of which represented the Company remaining as a stand-alone entity. While the special committee and the board of directors did not believe that there is a single method for determining “going concern value,” the special committee and board of directors believed that each of Updata Advisor’s valuation methodologies represented a valuation of the Company as it continues to operate its business, and, to that extent, such analyses could be collectively characterized as forms of going concern valuations.
 
            The special committee and board of directors also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it, including the Merger. These factors included:

 
the fact that the Company’s stockholders will not participate in any future earnings or growth of the Company and will not benefit from any appreciation in value of the Company, including any appreciation in value that could be realized as a result of improvements to the Company’s operations;
     
 
the fact that the Merger Agreement does not include a “majority of the minority” approval provision;
     
 
the fact that, because Park City agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, approximately 37%, 96% and 66% of the voting power of Prescient Common Stock, Series G Stock and Series E Stock, respectively, in favor of approving the Merger, the Merger only requires the approval of less than 10% of the voting power of unaffiliated common stockholders;
 
 
 
the fact that, while Prescient expects the Merger will be consummated, there can be no assurances that all conditions to the parties’ obligations to complete the Merger Agreement will be satisfied and, as a result, the Merger may not be consummated; and
     
 
the fact that Park City’s ownership interest in Prescient made a competing third party offer unlikely.
 
This discussion of the information and factors considered by the special committee and board of directors in reaching its conclusions and recommendation includes all of the material factors considered by the special committee and board of directors, but is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the special committee and board of directors in evaluating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it, including the Merger, and the complexity of these matters, neither the special committee nor the board of directors found it practicable, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weight to those factors. In addition, different members of the special committee and board of directors  may have given different weight to different factors.
 
The special committee and board of directors believe that sufficient procedural safeguards were and are present to ensure the fairness of the Merger and to permit the special committee and board of directors to represent effectively the interests of Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders , including holders of Prescient’s Common Stock, even though (x) the Merger only requires the approval of less than 10% of the voting power of Prescient’s unaffiliated common stockholders and (y) Park City currently has the power to vote 26%, 46% and 43% of Prescient’s Common Stock, Series G Stock and Series E Stock, respectively, and has indicated its intention not to sell any portion of those shares prior to consummation of the Merger. These procedural safeguards include the following:
 
 
the fact that at all times during the discussions and negotiations with Park City, there was no affiliation or other relationship between Park City, its directors, officers and affiliates on the one hand, and the Company and its directors, officers and affiliates on the other, nor had there been at any time during the previous three (3) years.
     
 
the substantial efforts of the Company and Updata in marketing the Company to potential financial and strategic buyers over an eight (8) month period which resulted in a small number of indications of interest, and two firm offers with the Park City Group offer representing the highest offer received.
     
 
the special committee’s active and intense negotiations, with the assistance of Prescient’s advisors, with representatives of Park City regarding the Merger Consideration and the other terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement;
     
 
the special committee and the board of directors received the advice and assistance of Updata Advisors as its financial advisor and requested and received from Updata Advisors, on September 11, 2008, an opinion that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the assumptions, factors, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Merger Consideration is fair from a financial point of view;
     
 
the recognition by the special committee and the board of directors that it had no obligation to recommend the approval of the Merger or any other transaction;
     
 
the recognition by the special committee and our board of directors that our board of directors could consider and recommend an alternate acquisition proposal and terminate the Merger Agreement, thereby enabling Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders to retain their equity stake in Prescient, which would then remain a publicly traded company; and
     
 
the availability of appraisal rights under Delaware law for Prescient’s stockholders who oppose the Merger.
 
                In reaching its determination that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are advisable, substantively and procedurally fair to and in the best interests of Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders, including holders of Common Stock, the board of directors considered the analysis of the special committee , and its independent conclusions respecting the fairness of the Merger and the Merger Agreement to Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders of the Merger Consideration of $0.055, $4,098.00 and $1,136.36 for each share of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock, respectively. In considering the special committee’s analysis, our board of directors considered:
 
 
the process the special committee conducted in considering the merger;
     
 
the special committee’s having received advice from a financial advisor, Updata Advisors;
     
 
the comprehensive pre-signing marketing of the Company by Updata Advisors to strategic and financial buyers over an eight month period;
 
 
 
the special committee’s recommendation on August 26, 2008 that the board of directors determine that the Merger Agreement, the performance by Prescient of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, are fair to, advisable to and in the best interests of Prescient’s stockholders , including holders of Common Stock (other than holders of excluded shares), and approve, adopt, authorize and declare advisable the Merger Agreement, the performance by Prescient of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger; and
     
 
the availability of appraisal rights under Delaware law for Prescient’s stockholders who oppose the Merger.
 
The board of directors also believes that sufficient procedural safeguards were present to ensure the fairness of the transaction and to permit the special committee to represent effectively the interests of Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders. The board of directors reached this conclusion based on, among other things:
 
 
the fact that the special committee consisted solely of independent directors who are not affiliated with Park City;
     
 
the selection and retention by the special committee of a financial advisor; and
     
 
the fact that the negotiations that had taken place between Park City and its representatives, on the one hand, and the special committee and its representatives, on the other hand, were structured and conducted so as to preserve the independence of the special committee and promote the fairness of the transaction.   These included the following:
   
no member of the special committee or any of their representatives had any business, interlocking or other relationship with Park City or its representatives;
   
all negotiations and interactions were conducted at arm’s length;
   
each of the parties to the transaction and its advisors paid their own expenses;
   
no members owned any shares of Series E Stock or Series G Stock, which have substantial liquidation preferences and which shares were the subject of privately negotiated purchases by Park City; and
   
the special committee had full authority to negotiate the terms of the Merger Agreement.
 
In light of the procedural protections described above, the special committee and board of directors did not consider it necessary to retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of Prescient ’s unaffiliated stockholders , including holders of its Common Stock, for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Merger or preparing a report concerning the fairness of the transaction.
 
In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the board of directors in evaluating the Merger and the complexity of these matters, the board of directors did not find it practicable, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weight to those factors. In addition, different members of the board of directors may have given different weight to different factors.
 
Based in part upon the recommendation and analysis of the special committee, the board of directors voted to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and resolved to recommend that you vote FOR the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement.
 
If the Merger is consummated, members of the board of directors of Prescient, based on their ownership of shares of Prescient Common Stock, options and warrants to purchase Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock will be entitled to receive an aggregate of approximately $1,384,525 as Merger Consideration, approximately $34,581 of which would be received by members of the special committee.
 
The board of directors, based in part on the recommendation of the special committee, recommends that Prescient’s stockholders vote FOR the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement. The recommendation of the board of directors was made after consideration of all the material factors, both positive and negative, as described above.
 
Position of Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields as to the Fairness of the Merger to Prescient’s Unaffiliated Stockholders
 
Under applicable SEC rules, Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields are deemed to be engaged in a “going private” transaction, and therefore, are required to express their beliefs as to the fairness of the Merger to Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders , including to holders of Prescient’s Common Stock. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields are making the statements included in this section solely for the purposes of complying with the requirements of Rule 13e-3 and related rules under the Exchange Act. Park City’s , Merger Sub’s and Mr. Fields’ views as to fairness of the Merger should not be construed as a recommendation to any stockholder of Prescient as to how such stockholder should vote on the proposal to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement.
 
 
Prescient’s special committee negotiated the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement with the assistance of Prescient’s legal advisors. Accordingly, neither Park City , Merger Sub nor Mr. Fields undertook any independent evaluation of the fairness of the Merger to Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders , including holders of Prescient’s Common Stock, or engaged a financial advisor for such purposes. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields did not participate in the deliberations of Prescient’s special committee regarding, or receive advice from Prescient’s legal or financial advisors as to, the fairness of the Merger. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields believe, however, that the Merger is fair to the unaffiliated stockholders of Prescient , including to holders of Common Stock, based on the following factors:
 
 
the Merger Consideration of $0.055 per share of Common Stock represents a premium of approximately 83% to the $0.03 closing market price of Prescient Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on August 27, 2008, the last trading day before the Merger Agreement was executed, a 57% premium to the closing market price one week prior to the last trading day before the Merger Agreement was executed, and a 83% premium to the closing market price four weeks prior to the last trading day before the Merger Agreement was executed;
     
 
the Merger will provide consideration to Prescient’s stockholders entirely in cash, thus eliminating any uncertainty in valuing the Merger Consideration;
     
 
the Merger Agreement permits Prescient’s board of directors, under certain limited circumstances, to furnish information to and conduct negotiations with third parties regarding other acquisition proposals;
     
 
the Merger Agreement permits Prescient’s board of directors, prior to the time that Prescient receives the approval of its stockholders, to withhold or withdraw its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement, if it determines that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law;
     
 
the Merger Agreement permits Prescient to terminate the Merger Agreement in the event that Prescient’s board of directors withholds or withdraws its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement due to the existence of an alternate acquisition proposal;
     
 
Prescient’s special committee had no obligation to recommend the approval of the Merger proposal or any other transaction;
 
  
Prescient’s special committee was deliberative in its process, analyzing, evaluating and negotiating the terms of the Merger, its members and their representatives took active and direct roles in the negotiations with respect to the Merger, including considering the transaction at numerous meetings of the board of directors;
     
 
neither Park City nor Merger Sub participated in or had any influence on the deliberative process of, or the conclusions reached by, Prescient’s special committee or the negotiating positions of Prescient’s special committee;
     
 
Prescient retained nationally recognized financial and legal advisors, each of which has extensive experience in transactions similar to the Merger;
     
 
the Merger Consideration and other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement resulted from extensive negotiations between the special committee and its advisors and Park City and Merger Sub and their advisors;
     
 
the members of Prescient’s special committee unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are fair to, advisable to and in the best interests of Prescient and its unaffiliated stockholders , including holders of Prescient’s Common Stock;
     
 
Prescient’s special committee received an opinion from its financial advisor, to the effect that, based upon and subject to the assumptions, factors, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, as of September 11, 2008, the per share Merger Consideration to be paid to holders of Prescient Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock (other than holders of excluded shares and affiliates of Park City) in the Merger was fair to such holders from a financial point of view, see “Opinion of Prescient’s Financial Advisor”;
     
 
stockholders who do not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and who comply with certain procedural requirements will be entitled, upon completion of the Merger, to exercise statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law, which allow stockholders to have the fair value of their shares determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and paid to them in cash;
 
 
 
the Merger will provide liquidity, without the brokerage and other costs typically associated with market sales, for Prescient’s public stockholders whose ability, absent the Merger, to sell their shares of Prescient Common Stock is adversely affected by the limited trading volume and low public float of the shares; and
     
 
the value of Prescient’s equity and that the value to stockholders that would be achieved by continuing Prescient as a public company in the near to intermediate term was not likely to be as great as the Merger Consideration in view of (i) the $21,878,370 of liquidation preferences applicable to our outstanding Series E and Series G shares would require a ten fold increase in our market capitalization before holders of our outstanding would realize any additional value above the liquidation preference and (ii) trading characteristics of companies with market capitalizations similar in size to that of Prescient.
 
The Merger Agreement does not require the transaction to be approved by at least a majority of unaffiliated stockholders. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields believe, however, that taking into account the factors listed above, as well as the fact that the agreement between Park City, Merger Sub and Prescient resulted from arms-length negotiations between Prescient and its advisors and Park City and Merger Sub and their advisors, that at all times of the negotiation there was no affiliation between Park City and any of its directors, officers or affiliates, on the one hand, and Prescient or any of its directors, officers or affiliates on the other; the absence of such a voting requirement did not diminish the fairness of the process undertaken by Prescient’s special committee.

Park City, Merger Sub and Mr. Fields also believe that, in light of the procedural protections described above, it was not necessary for the special committee and board of directors of Prescient to retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders, including holders of its Common Stock, for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Merger or preparing a report concerning the fairness of the transaction.
 
In arriving at the Merger Consideration, Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields did not consider the liquidation value of Prescient because they believed that the liquidation value of Prescient would be substantially less than either the going concern value or the Merger Consideration proposed to be paid by Park City and, therefore, did not conduct a liquidation analysis.   Further, Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields did not consider net book value, which is an accounting concept, as a factor because they believe that net book value is not a material indicator of the value of Prescient as a going concern but rather is indicative of historical costs.
 
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields in connection with the fairness of the merger is not intended to be exhaustive. Park City , Merger Sub and Mr. Fields did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the individual factors considered in reaching their conclusions as to the fairness of the Merger. Rather, the fairness determinations were made after consideration of all of the foregoing factors as a whole.
 
Opinion of Prescient’s Financial Advisor
 
Updata Advisors has provided a fairness opinion to our board of directors in connection with the Merger. Updata Advisors is an investment banking firm that specializes in providing capital raising and advisory services (including mergers and acquisitions advice and fairness opinions) to information technology companies and their investors. Updata was selected following management’s review of several regional investment banking firms specializing in information technology, which included presentations and site visits from prospective investment advisory firms.  These firms were selected for consideration based on referrals, reputation, and experience in the software industry.  Management selected Updata based on Updata’s extensive experience in mergers, acquisitions, private placements, fairness opinions and corporate restructurings for the information technology industry, including software as a service.  In addition, Updata is perennially ranked among the top five advisors in transaction volume to companies in the computer software, supplies and services industry, a factor that management considered important in considering Updata’s ability to successfully bring opportunities to the board of directors for its consideration.

            At the August 26, 2008 meetings of our special committee and board of directors, Updata Advisors delivered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, to our board of directors to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, based upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of the review undertaken by Updata Advisors, the $9,033,000 of cash consideration paid to acquire the Privately Purchased Shares and to be received in the aggregate by the holders of shares of our Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock pursuant to the Merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to our stockholders as a whole.   Updata Advisors did not opine specifically as to the fairness of the Merger Agreement or the Merger to the unaffiliated holders of our Common Stock.

 
The full text Updata Advisors’ written opinion, dated September 11, 2008, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken by Updata Advisors in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference. You are urged to read the Updata Advisors opinion in its entirety.
 
Updata Advisors provided its opinion for the information and assistance of our special committee and board of directors in connection with its consideration of the Merger. Updata Advisors did not express any opinion as to the underlying decision of our board of directors to recommend the Merger, nor as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as to the allocation of consideration paid and payable with respect to the Privately Purchased Shares and pursuant to the Merger Agreement among the various classes and series of our capital stock. The Updata Advisors opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holders of our capital stock should vote with respect to the Merger. In connection with Updata Advisors arriving at its opinion, Updata Advisors has, among other things:
 
 
reviewed the Merger Agreement;
     
 
reviewed Prescient’s financial results including but not limited to (i) its audited financial statements for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, (ii) unaudited financial results for the six-months ended June 30, 2008, (iii) projected financial and operating results for the six-month period ending December 31, 2008, and (iv) projected financial and operating results for the five-year period ending December 31, 2012;
     
 
reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for Prescient prepared by its management;
     
 
reviewed share price performance and trading activity for Prescient Common Stock;
     
 
participated in certain discussions with our senior management concerning our operational performance and prospects, and strategic rationale for the Merger;
     
 
compared certain aspects of our financial and market performance with other relevant publicly-traded companies;
     
 
analyzed available information concerning certain other comparable mergers and acquisitions; and
     
 
reviewed such other information, performed such other analyses and procedures, and considered such other factors as Updata Advisors deemed appropriate for purposes of its opinion.
 
In conducting its analysis, Updata Advisors took into account general economic, monetary, political, market and other conditions as well as its experience in connection with similar transactions and securities valuation generally. The opinion is based upon all of such conditions as they existed as of the date of the opinion. Such conditions are subject to rapid and unpredictable changes and such changes could impact the opinion.
 
In rendering the opinion, Updata Advisors did not assume responsibility for independently verifying, and did not independently verify, any financial or other information concerning the Company furnished to it by the Company, or the publicly-available financial and other information regarding the Company and other companies used in its analysis. Updata Advisors assumed that all such information was accurate and complete. Updata Advisors further relied on assurances of management of the Company that they were not aware of any facts that would make such financial or other information relating to such entities inaccurate or misleading.
 
With respect to internal financial forecasts prepared by the Company’s management provided to Updata Advisors, Updata Advisors assumed, with the consent of the board of directors, that they were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Company’s management. Updata Advisors further relied upon the assurances of the Company’s management that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any information provided to Updata Advisors, when considered in light of all of the information provided to it, inaccurate or misleading. In addition, Updata Advisors did not make, and was not provided with, any independent evaluation or appraisal of specific assets and liabilities (including any derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company. Updata Advisors made no physical inspection of the Company’s assets or liabilities.
 
Updata Advisors analyzed the Company as a going concern and accordingly expressed no opinion as to its liquidation value. Updata Advisors expressed no opinion on matters of legal, regulatory, tax or accounting nature related to the acquisition of the Company by Park City. The opinion was based only on information available to Updata Advisors and the financial, market, economic, and other conditions, facts, and circumstances as they existed and were subject to evaluation on the date of its opinion. Events occurring after that date could materially affect the assumptions used by Updata Advisors in preparing its opinion, and Updata Advisors assumed no responsibility to update or revise its opinion based on circumstances or events occurring after the date of its opinion.
 
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Updata to our board of directors in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Updata, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Updata. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of Updata Advisor’s financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before September 11, 2008 and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

(1) This analysis was done on transactions where the price paid per share was less than $5.00.
 
Based on the analysis above, these calculations indicated an overall (low/high) range of implied per share equity values for Prescient of $0.01 to $0.15. The Merger Consideration of $0.055 per share of Common Stock is within this range.
 
Selected Companies Analysis. Updata Advisors reviewed and compared certain financial information for Prescient to corresponding financial information, ratios and public market multiples for the following publicly traded companies in the supply chain management/enterprise resource planning sectors, which Updata Advisors refers to collectively as the comparable public companies:
 
Supply Chain Management
 
 
Ariba, Inc.
     
 
DesCartes Systems Group Inc.
     
 
Global Sources Ltd.
     
 
JDA Software Group Inc.
     
 
Kewill Systems Plc
     
 
Logility Inc.
     
 
Manhattan Associates, Inc.
     
Enterprise Resource Planning
 
 
CDC Corporation
     
 
Epicor Software Corp.
     
 
Lawson Software Inc.
     
 
QAD Inc.
     
 
Sage Group PLC
 
These companies were selected, among other reasons, because they share similar business characteristics to Prescient and they operate in a similar industry as Prescient.   More specifically, these companies are small to mid-market level companies which operate in the supply chain management and/or enterprise resource planning subsector of the enterprise software market, and operate in segments which Prescient views as competitive.   However, comparability between these companies and Prescient is very difficult due to widely varying sizes and operating statistics. While none of the companies listed is identical to Prescient, Updata Advisors made judgments and assumptions concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the enterprise values of the selected companies. Updata Advisors noted that the selected companies did not represent the entire universe of potentially relevant supply chain or enterprise resource planning companies. 
 
 
In this analysis, Updata compared the Enterprise Value (EV) being paid for Prescient as implied by the aggregate consideration being paid, expressed as a multiple of Prescient’s last twelve months (LTM) revenue and EBITDA, and projected calendar year 2008 revenue and EBITDA, to the respective multiples of LTM and projected calendar year 2008 EV-to-revenue and EV-to-EBITDA of the comparable companies implied by the public trading prices of their common stock. Updata Advisors identified the following valuation ranges for both the supply chain management and enterprise resource planning companies:
 
   
Comparable Public
Companies
 
Prescient
(as implied by
transaction

Supply Chain Management
 
Low
 
High
     
LTM Revenue
    1.0 x     3.7 x     1.0 x
2008P Revenue
    0.9 x     3.5 x     0.9 x
LTM EBITDA
    3.6 x     9.3 x     5.6 x
2008P EBITDA
    6.3 x     26.2 x     8.8 x
Enterprise Resource Planning
                       
LTM Revenue
    0.6 x     2.9 x     1.0 x
2008P Revenue
    0.6 x     2.8 x     0.9 x
LTM EBITDA
    8.3 x     45.6x *     5.6 x
2008P EBITDA
    7.2 x     26.4x *     8.8 x
 
Updata also applied a 20% liquidity discount to the selected companies analysis (not reflected in the table above) given Prescient’s illiquidity (i.e., very low average daily trading volume) relative to the comparables group.
 
* Outliers
 
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Updata Advisors performed a discounted cash flow analysis on Prescient using Prescient management’s projections. Updata Advisors calculated indications of present values of unlevered free cash flows for Prescient for fiscal years 2008 through 2012 using an annual discount rate of 10%. Updata Advisors calculated indications of values of perpetual unlevered free cash flows based on an implied perpetual growth rate of 2.9%. Using a terminal EBITDA multiple of 8.0x, Updata Advisor’s analysis resulted in an enterprise value of $8.0 million. After taking the Company’s current cash holdings and outstanding debt into account, the analysis resulted in an equity value of $8.5 million.
 
Updata Advisors also conducted a sensitivity analysis using discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 14.0% and EBITDA multiples ranging from 6.0x to 10.0x. The results of such analysis indicate a range of implied enterprise values of $5.8 million to $10.1 million.
 
Selected Transactions Analysis. Updata Advisors analyzed certain information relating to selected M&A transactions involving (i) similar situations to the Merger, meaning transactions involving public software companies in which the target company had exhibited “flat” or declining revenues prior to the transaction, (ii) retail vertical applications, (iii) supply chain management and (iv) enterprise resource planning. The results of this analysis showed an implied enterprise value in the following ranges:
 
 
Similar Situation ($6.0 million to $9.5 million)
 
Retail Vertical Applications ($18.1 million to $21.6 million)
 
Supply Chain Management ($7.8 million to $11.2 million)
 
Enterprise Resource Planning ($7.8 million to $11.2 million)
 
Updata Advisors noted that no company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Prescient or Park City or the contemplated transaction.
 
            In connection with the review of the Merger by our board of directors, Updata Advisors performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses.  The summary set forth above does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the analyses and factors considered by Updata Advisors.

A copy of Updata Advisors written presentation to the board of directors on September 11, 2008 has been filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13E–3 filed with the SEC in connection with the Merger. The written presentation will be available for any interested Prescient stockholder (or any representative of a stockholder who has been so designated in writing) to inspect and copy at our principal executive offices during regular business hours. Alternatively, you may inspect and copy the presentation at the office of, or obtain it by mail from, the SEC.
 
 
The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.  Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the Updata Advisors opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Updata Advisors considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Updata Advisors made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses.  The conclusions by Updata Advisors may involve significant elements of subjective judgment and qualitative analysis.  In performing its analyses, Updata Advisors considered general economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond our control.
 
Updata prepared these analyses for purposes of providing its opinion to our board of directors as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders as a whole of the consideration paid to acquire the Privately Purchased Shares and to be paid to the holders of the shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of Prescient, Park City, Updata or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.
 
The merger consideration to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement was determined through arms’ length negotiations between Prescient and Park City and was approved by our board of directors. Updata provided advice to Prescient during these negotiations. Updata did not, however, recommend any specific amount of consideration to Prescient or our board of directors or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Merger.
 
As described above, the Updata opinion to our special committee and board of directors was one of many factors taken into consideration by our special committee and board of directors in making its determination to approve the Merger Agreement. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Updata Advisors in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Updata Advisors attached as Annex B.
 
Projected Financial Information
 
We do not as a matter of course make public projections as to future performance or earnings. However, certain prospective financial information prepared by our management team was made available to the special committee, our board of directors, to Updata, to and to other parties who had executed non-disclosure agreements in connection with their consideration of a transaction with the Company.  We have included the material portions of this prospective financial information below in order to give our stockholders access to this information as well.  The prospective financial information set forth below was prepared for purposes of the board’s consideration and evaluation of the Merger, Updata’s financial analysis in connection with the Merger and to facilitate the due diligence review of other parties who had expressed interest in a transaction with the Company. The inclusion of the prospective financial information below should not be regarded as an indication that our management team, our board of directors, Updata or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be predictive of actual future results.
 
Our management team advised the special committee, our board of directors, Updata and the other recipients of the prospective financial information that its internal financial forecasts, upon which the following prospective financial information was based, was subjective in many respects. The prospective financial information set forth below reflects numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, all of which are difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control. The prospective financial information set forth below also reflects numerous estimates and assumptions related to our business that are inherently subject to significant economic, political and competitive uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. As a result, although the prospective financial information set forth below was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time the information was prepared, there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing such information will prove accurate or that the projected results reflected therein will be realized.
 
            The prospective financial information set forth below was prepared for the Company’s use, for use by Updata  in preparing its financial analysis in connection with the Merger and for use by other potential purchasers of the Company and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information.  Our independent registered public accounting firm has not examined or compiled any of the prospective financial information set forth below, expressed any conclusion or provided any form of assurance with respect to such information and, accordingly, assumes no responsibility for such information. The prospective financial information set forth below does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring since the date such information was prepared or which may occur in the future, and, in particular, does not take into account or give effect to the Merger, any revised prospects of our business, changes in general business or economic conditions or any other transaction or event that has occurred since the date on which such information was prepared or which may occur in the future. Prospective financial information of this type is based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to factors such as industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as changes to the business, financial condition or results of operation of the Company, including the factors described under “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information” beginning on page 38.   Since the prospective financial information set forth below covers multiple years, such information by its nature is subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year.
 
 
We have made publicly available our actual results for the second quarter of 2008.  You should review our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to obtain this information. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 59. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the specific portions of the prospective financial information set forth below.  No one has made or makes any representation to any stockholder regarding the information included in the prospective financial information set forth below.
 
For the foregoing reasons, as well as the bases and assumptions on which the prospective financial information set forth below was compiled, the inclusion of the prospective financial information in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that such information will be predictive of actual future results or events, and it should not be relied on as such.  Except as required by applicable securities laws, we have not updated nor do we intend to update or otherwise revise the prospective financial information set forth below, including, without limitation, to reflect circumstances existing after the date such information was prepared or to reflect the occurrence of future events, including, without limitation, changes in general economic or industry conditions, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the prospective financial information is shown to be in error.
 
The prospective financial information set forth below for fiscal years 2008 through 2012, which was provided to our board of directors, Updata, and other parties who expressed interest in a transaction with the Company, included the following estimates of the Company’s future financial performance:

            In developing the prospective financial information for fiscal years 2008 through 2012, we made numerous assumptions about our industry, markets, products and services and ability to execute on our business plans.  Among the other more significant assumptions are the following:
 
 
The prospective financial information assumes that our business would be operated on an organic basis and does not anticipate any acquisitions or divestitures during the periods covered by such information.
     
 
The prospective financial information assumes a rate of attrition in our client base consistent with past experience.
 
Alternatives to the Merger
 
Park City is continually seeking ways to enhance its business and increase shareholder value, including mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions.  Following discussions with Prescient’s management, Park City reached the conclusion that purchasing some of the outstanding Series E Stock and entering into a merger agreement with Prescient to acquire the remaining Prescient capital stock was the optimal solution because it better positions Park City to compete and substantially increase revenue, and enhances Prescient’s competitive position in the market.  In addition, the acquisition allows management of Prescient the ability to focus on long-term decisions, increases its financial flexibility, simplifies its capital structure, and accelerates its investment in technology.  In addition, the combination substantially reduces the combined public company compliance costs.
 
Mr. Fields has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Prescient in order to begin integrating these improvements prior to the consummation of the Merger.  After reaching the conclusion to acquire all of the shares of Prescient other than the Series E Stock that it intended to purchase from certain holders of the Series E Stock, Park City chose the merger structure, because it was the preferable means to acquire the entire equity interest in Prescient and provide cash to Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders. Park City also considered a tender offer transaction, but rejected that alternative because a merger allows for a prompt and orderly transfer of ownership of the shares in a single step, without the necessity of acquiring enough shares to execute a back-end, short-form merger associated with a tender offer.
 
Certain Effects of the Merger
 
Conversion of Outstanding Prescient Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock
 
Upon the Merger Agreement being approved by Prescient’s stockholders and the other conditions to the closing of the Merger being satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Prescient, with Prescient continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Park City. After the Merger, Park City will directly own all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Prescient.
 
            When the Merger is completed, (i) each share of Prescient Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive $0.055 in cash, without interest, (ii) each share of Series E Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than excluded share) will be converted into the right to receive $4,098.00 in cash, without interest, and (iii) each share of Series G Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than excluded share) will be converted into the right to receive $1,136.36 in cash, without interest.
 
Stock Options
 
Each outstanding stock option (whether vested or unvested) at the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled, and each holder thereof will receive, at or as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Merger, an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the excess of the per share Merger Consideration of $0.055 over the per share exercise price of such stock option, multiplied by (2) the number of shares subject to such stock option, less applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.  Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding warrants, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding options.
 
Warrants
 
Each warrant to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of (i) $0.055, over (ii) the exercise price payable in respect of the share of Common Stock issuable under the warrant.  Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding warrants, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding warrants.

 
Effect on Ownership Structure of Prescient
 
At the effective time of the Merger, our current stockholders (other than Park City), will cease to have ownership interests in Prescient or rights as Prescient stockholders. Therefore, our current stockholders (other than Park City) will not participate in any earnings or growth of Prescient following the Merger and will not benefit from any increase in the value of Prescient following the Merger.
 
Effect on Listing, Registration and Status of Prescient Common Stock
 
Our Common Stock is currently registered under the Exchange Act and is listed on the OTCBB under the symbol “PPID.” As a result of the Merger, we will be a privately held company, and there will be no public market for its Common Stock. After the Merger, our Common Stock will cease to be listed on the OTCBB, and price quotations with respect to sales of shares of our Common Stock in the public market will no longer be available. In addition, registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act will be terminated. This termination will make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the requirement of furnishing a proxy or information statement in connection with stockholders’ meetings, no longer applicable to Prescient. After the effective time of the Merger, Prescient will also no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC.
 
Effect on Organization and Management of Prescient
 
At the effective time of the Merger, the directors of Merger Sub will become the directors of the surviving corporation in the Merger. It is expected that, immediately following the effective time of the merger, the officers of Prescient immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will remain officers of the surviving corporation. The certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall, from and after the effective time of the Merger, be the certificate of incorporation of the surviving corporation, until duly amended as provided therein or by applicable law.
 
It is expected that, upon consummation of the Merger, and subject to the discussion above, the operations of Prescient will be conducted substantially as currently conducted; however, Prescient will not be subject to the obligations and constraints, and the related direct and indirect costs and personnel requirements, associated with being a public company. Management of Park City has advised Prescient that it does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, an extraordinary corporate transaction following completion of the merger involving Prescient’s corporate structure, business or management, such as a merger, liquidation, physical relocation of headquarters or sale or transfer of a material amount of assets.    It is expected, however, that following the Merger, Prescient’s management will continuously evaluate and review Prescient’s business and operations and may develop new plans and proposals they consider appropriate to maximize the value of Prescient. Park City reserves the right to make any changes deemed appropriate in light of its evaluation and review or in light of future developments.
 
            Beneficial and Detrimental Effects
 
Benefits of the Merger to Park City include that, after the Merger, Park City will be entitled to 100% of the future earnings and growth of Prescient, if any, and Prescient’s interests in the net book value and net earnings of Prescient will be 100% based on its holdings of Prescient’s outstanding capital stock. In addition, Park City will be entitled to 100% of Prescient’s savings associated with the avoidance of the filing requirements and general compliance provisions of U.S. federal securities laws, which Park City estimates will be approximately $[  ] annually. Detriments of the merger to Park City include the lack of liquidity for Prescient capital stock following the Merger, the risk that Prescient will decrease in value following the Merger, and the payment by Prescient of approximately $ 800,000 in transaction costs and estimated fees and expenses related to the Merger. See “— Estimated Fees and Expenses of the Merger.”
 
The benefits of the Merger to Prescient’s unaffiliated stockholders are the right to receive $0.055, $4,098.00 and $1,136.36 per share in cash for their shares of Prescient Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock, respectively, and not bearing the risk of continuing their investment in Prescient. The detriments of the Merger to such stockholders are that they will cease to participate in Prescient’s future earnings and growth, if any, will no longer own any interest in Prescient’s net book value or net earnings, and that the receipt of the payment for their shares in the Merger will be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes. See “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Our Stockholders.”

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement on August 28, 2008, Park City acquired from two of the Company’s shareholders an aggregate of 715.96 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for $3,865 a share, or an aggregate of $2,767,185, in cash (the “Aggregate Purchased Shares Consideration”).  The source of funds for the Aggregate Purchased Shares Consideration were Park City’s working capital, in the amount of $567,185, and borrowings aggregating $2,200,000 from (i) an affiliate of Randall K. Fields, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Park City ($1,500,000); (ii) Robert W. Allen, a director of Park City ($500,000): and (iii) Robert P. Hermanns, a director and Senior Vice President of Park City ($200,000) (the “Purchased Share Loans”).  The Purchased Share Loans represent unsecured obligations of Park City, which bear interest at the rate of 10% a year and are due and payable December 1, 2008.  Park City expects to repay the Purchased Share Loans with the proceeds of the Merger Loans, as defined below.
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Park City will acquire, for an aggregate of $ 3,769,502: (i) the 559 outstanding shares of Series E Stock it will not own immediately prior to the Effective Time for $4,098  per share, or an aggregate of $2,290,782 ,  (ii) all 479.9 outstanding shares of Series G Stock for $1,136.36  per share, or an aggregate of $545,339, and (iii) all 16,970,574 outstanding shares of Common Stock that it will not own immediately prior to the Effective Time for $.055 per share, or an aggregate of $933,381.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Park City intends to purchase 16,230,248 shares of Common Stock from the principal shareholders of the Company for $0.05 per share, or an aggregate of $811,512, and the 382.536 shares of Series E Stock, sold by SDS Capital Group on September 12, 2008, for $3,865 per share, or an aggregate of $1,478,501.
 
The source of funds for the Aggregate Merger Consideration, and for the repayment of the Purchased Share Loans are expected to be from proceeds from the issuance by Park City of securities to private investors (which may include affiliates of Park City) aggregating approximately $7,200,000 (the “Merger Loans”), the terms of which are currently being negotiated.  Park City expects to repay the Merger Loans from anticipated cash resources and cash flow from operations of Park City and its subsidiaries (including the Company).  If the cash flow from operations is insufficient to satisfy Park City’s obligations under the terms of the Merger Loans, Park City will refinance or restructure the Merger Loans.  Park City has no current plans with respect to any such refinancing or restructuring.
 
The Aggregate Merger Consideration is required to be funded by Park City prior to the date of the Meeting. The foregoing assumes that no Prescient stockholder validly exercises and perfects its appraisal rights.  There are no financing contingencies contained in the Merger Agreement.
 
Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger
 
In considering the recommendation of the board of directors to vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, Prescient’s stockholders should be aware that certain of Prescient’s directors and executive officers have interests in the transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Prescient’s stockholders generally, including the following:
 
 
Mr. Fields, our chief executive officer, also serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of Park City;
     
 
Jane F. Hoffer, our president and chief operating officer who served as our chief executive officer from January 2005 until August 28, 2008, is a party to an agreement that provides certain severance payments and benefits in the case of her termination of employment under certain circumstances following a change of control;
     
 
the Merger Agreement provides for indemnification arrangements for each of our current and former directors and executive officers that will continue for six (6) years following the effective time of the Merger as well as insurance coverage covering such director or executive officer’s service to the Company as a director or executive officer; and
     
 
although no agreements have been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement, it is expected that a number of our executive officers will remain after the Merger is completed and such executive officers may enter into new arrangements regarding employment with the Surviving Corporation or the right to purchase or participate in the equity of the Surviving Corporation.
 
 
These interests may present them with actual or potential conflicts of interest, and these interests, to the extent material, are described below. The board of directors was aware of these potential conflicts of interest and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger and the recommendation that our stockholders vote in favor of proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
 
Treatment of Stock Options
 
Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to purchase Common Stock under the Company’s equity incentive plans, whether or not exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the options multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $0.055 exceeds the exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.  Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding options, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding options
 
Treatment of Restricted Stock
 
The Company currently has issued and outstanding 234,121 shares of restricted Common Stock.  The Company intends to pay each holder of restricted Common Stock the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder, prior to consummation of the Merger.
 
Change of Control Benefits
 
Jane F. Hoffer, our president and chief operating officer, has a severance agreement with the Company pursuant to which she is entitled to one year severance in the event she is terminated without cause.  In the event the Merger is consummated, she has agreed to remain with the Company until January 15, 2009, at which time she may elect to terminate her employment and receive a severance payment equal to one year in base salary, payable according to the Company’s normal payroll policies for six months, with the balance due in full at the end of such six months.  In addition, in the event of the termination of Ms. Hoffer’s employment, she is entitled to the continuation of her health care benefits for a period terminating on the earlier to occur of one year from the date of her termination, or the date that she finds employment providing comparable health care benefits.
 
Indemnification and Insurance
 
Park City has agreed to indemnify each of our present and former officers and directors against all reasonable expenses, losses and liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit proceeding or investigation arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, any act or omission in their capacity as an officer, director or employee occurring on or before the effective time of the Merger.
 
For a period of six (6) years from the effective time of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries than are presently set forth in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
 
The Merger Agreement provides that the Surviving Corporation shall purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies containing the same coverage and in the same amount as the Company’s existing policies and with a claims period of six (6) years from the effective time of the Merger for claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the effective time of the Merger.
 
Plans for Prescient if the Merger is Not Completed
 
It is expected that if the Merger is not completed, the current management of Prescient, under the direction of the board of directors, will continue to manage Prescient as an ongoing business.  It is expected that, from time to time, Prescient will evaluate and review its business operations, properties, dividend policy and capitalization, among other things, make such changes as are deemed appropriate and continue to seek to identify strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, there can be no assurance that any other transaction acceptable to Prescient will be offered or that Prescient’s business and operations will not be adversely affected.

 
 Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Our Stockholders
 
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to U.S. persons (as defined below) whose shares are converted into the right to receive cash in the Merger. This summary does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to our stockholders. For purposes of this discussion, we use the term “U.S. person” to mean a beneficial owner of shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
 
a citizen or resident of the United States;
     
 
a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions;
     
 
a trust that (i) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or
     
 
an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.
 
If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partners and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding shares should consult its tax advisor.
 
This discussion is based on current law, which is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. It applies only to beneficial owners who hold shares as capital assets, and may not apply to shares received in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, stockholders who validly exercise their rights under Delaware law to object to the Merger or to certain types of beneficial owners who may be subject to special rules (such as insurance companies, banks, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, partnerships, S corporations or other pass-through entities, mutual funds, traders in securities who elect the mark-to-market method of accounting, stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, stockholders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar or stockholders who hold stock as part of a hedge, straddle or a constructive sale or conversion transaction). This discussion does not address the receipt of cash in connection with the cancellation of shares of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units or options to purchase shares of Common Stock or Series E Stock, or any other matters relating to equity compensation or benefit plans. This discussion also does not address the U.S. tax consequences to any stockholder who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a non-resident alien individual, foreign corporation, foreign partnership or foreign estate or trust, and it does not address any aspect of state, local or foreign tax laws.
 
Exchange of Shares for Cash Pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  The exchange of shares for cash in the Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a stockholder whose shares are converted into the right to receive cash in the Merger will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received with respect to such shares and the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. Gain or loss will be determined separately for each block of shares (i.e., shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction). Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss provided that a stockholder’s holding period for such shares is more than twelve (12) months at the time of the consummation of the Merger. Long-term capital gains of individuals are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. There are limitations on the deductibility of capital losses.   The Merger will not be a taxable transaction to Prescient, Park City, PAII Transitory Sub, Inc. or Mr. Fields.
 
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting.  Backup withholding of tax may apply to cash payments to which a non-corporate stockholder is entitled under the Merger Agreement, unless the stockholder or other payee provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies that such number is correct and otherwise complies with the backup withholding rules. Each of our stockholders should complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 that will be included as part of the letter of transmittal and return it to the payment agent, in order to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding, unless an exemption applies and is established in a manner satisfactory to the payment agent.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowable as a refund or a credit against a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
 
Cash received in the Merger will also be subject to information reporting unless an exemption applies.
 
The U.S. federal income tax consequences described above are not intended to constitute a complete description of all tax consequences relating to the Merger. Because individual circumstances may differ, each stockholder should consult with the stockholder’s tax advisor regarding the applicability of the rules discussed above to the stockholder and the particular tax effects to the stockholder of the Merger in light of such stockholder’s particular circumstances, the application of state, local and foreign tax laws, and, if applicable, the tax consequences of the receipt of cash in connection with the cancellation of options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock units to purchase shares of Common Stock, including the transactions described in this proxy statement relating to our other equity compensation and benefit plans.
 
 
Delisting and Deregistration of Common Stock
 
If the Merger is completed, the Common Stock will be delisted from OTC BB and deregistered under the Exchange Act and we will no longer file periodic or annual reports with the SEC on account of the Common Stock.
 
Provisions for Unaffiliated Security Holders
 
No provision has been made to grant our stockholders access to the corporate files of the Company or any affiliated shareholder or to obtain counsel or appraisal services at the expense of the Company or any affiliated stockholder.
 
Regulatory Approvals and Requirements
 
In connection with the Merger, Prescient, Park City and Merger Sub are required to make certain filings with, and comply with certain laws of, various federal and state governmental agencies, including filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Delaware law after the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by Prescient’s stockholders.
 
 
THE SPECIAL MEETING
 
Time, Place and Purpose of the Special Meeting
 
This proxy statement is being furnished to our stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the special meeting to be held on [  ], 2008, at 10:00 a.m., at the Company’s headquarters, 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The purpose of the special meeting is for our stockholders to consider and vote upon the following proposals:
 
1.           a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement;

3.           a proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series G Stock to provide that the Merger Agreement will govern the treatment of the Series G Stock in the event the Merger is consummated.
 
Our stockholders must adopt Proposals 1, 2 and 3 in order for the Merger to occur. If the stockholders fail to adopt such Proposals, the Merger will not occur. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation is attached to this proxy as Annex C. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation is attached to this proxy as Annex D. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to our stockholders on or about [  ], 2008.
 
Record Date and Quorum
 
We have fixed the close of business on [  ], 2008 as the record date for the special meeting, and only holders of record of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock on the record date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 33,200,822 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, 1,657 of Series E Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, and 479.860 shares of Series G Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters properly coming before the special meeting. Each share of Series E Stock entitles its holder to 5,955 votes on Proposals 1, 2 and 3 and all other matters properly coming before the special meeting and one vote with respect to the class vote required under Proposal 2. Each share of Series G Stock entitles its holder to one vote with respect to the class vote required under Proposal 3. The holders of Series G Stock are not entitled to vote on any other matters properly coming before the special meeting. As of the record date, with respect to all matters other than the class votes required under Proposal 2 and 3, the outstanding shares represented 43,068,257 votes, consisting of 33,200,822 attributable to Common Stock and 9,867,435 attributable to Series E Stock.
 
In order to constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at the special meeting, shares representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting by the holders of Common Stock and Series E Stock, voting together as a single class, must be represented at the special meeting. In addition, with respect to the proposal to amend the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, a majority of the shares of Series E Stock outstanding must be represented at the special meeting in order to constitute a quorum for such proposal. Further, with respect to the proposal to amend the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation, a majority of the shares of Series G Stock outstanding must be represented at the special meeting in order to constitute a quorum for such proposal.
 
Vote Required for Approval
 
Approval of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class. Approval of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Stock requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at least two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, and (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class. Approval of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Stock requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at least three-fourths (3/4) of the shares of Series G Stock outstanding on the record date, and (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class. If you do not submit a proxy by mail or vote your shares in person, it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposals to adopt the Merger Agreement, to amend the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, and to amend the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation. If you sign your proxy card without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” all of the foregoing proposals.
 
 
As of the close of business on [  ], 2008, the record date, the directors and executive officers of Prescient held and are entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 4,692,325 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 14% of the outstanding Common Stock. No shares of Series E Stock or Series G Stock were held by directors or executive officers of the Company on the record date, except NewSpring Ventures, LP, an affiliated of Michael DiPiano, which owns 274 shares of Series E Stock and 21 shares of Series G Stock.
 
As of [  ], 2008, certain of the Company’s principal stockholders, which includes Park City, holding an aggregate of 12,176,700 shares of Common Stock, 1,098.496 shares of Series E Stock, and 479.860 shares of the Series G Stock, respectively, representing approximately 37%, 66% and 96% shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock entitled to vote, respectively, have agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3. For more information, please see “Private Purchase of Shares; Lock-Up and Voting Agreements” beginning on page 40.
 
Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
 
Shares represented at the special meeting but not voted, including shares for which proxies have been received but for which stockholders have abstained, will be treated as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of all business. Although the law in Delaware is unclear on the proper treatment of abstentions, we believe that abstentions should be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Without controlling precedent to the contrary, we intend to treat abstentions in this manner. Accordingly, abstentions will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. In the event that a quorum is not present at the special meeting, it is expected that the special meeting will be adjourned or postpone to solicit additional proxies.
 
If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. Your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon; if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions regarding such matters, your proxy will be deemed a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be included in the determination of the number of shares represented at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For Proposals. 1, 2 and 3, broker non-votes have the practical effect of a vote “AGAINST” such proposals.
 
Proxies and Revocation
 
If you submit a proxy by returning a signed proxy card by mail, your shares will be voted at the special meeting as you indicate on your proxy card. If you sign your proxy card without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, “FOR” the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Stock, and “FOR” the proposal to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Stock.
 
Proxies received at any time before the special meeting and not revoked or superseded before being voted will be voted at the special meeting. You have the right to change or revoke your proxy at any time before the vote taken at the special meeting:
 
 
by notifying our Secretary, at 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380;
     
 
by attending the special meeting and voting in person (your attendance at the special meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must vote in person at the special meeting); or
     
 
by submitting a later-dated proxy card.
  
If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of Common Stock, the above instructions do not apply and, instead, you must follow the directions received from your broker, bank or other nominee to change those instructions.
 
Please do not send in your stock certificates with your proxy card. When the Merger is completed, a separate letter of transmittal will be mailed to you that will enable you to receive the Merger Consideration in exchange for your stock certificates.
 
Private Purchase of Shares; Lock-Up and Voting Agreements
 
Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Park City entered into separate securities purchase agreements with CGA Resources, LLC and Hudson Ventures, each a principal shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which it purchased an aggregate of 715.96 shares of Series E Stock. In addition, on September 12, 2008, certain other private investors entered into separate securities purchase agreements to acquire an aggregate of 382.526 shares of Series E Stock from SDS Capital Group, principal shareholder of the Company.  These purchases were arranged by Taglich Brothers, Inc., a financial advisor to Park City.  The purchasers of these shares included certain principals of Taglich Brothers.  Neither Taglich Brothers nor any of the purchasers have any relationship with the Company.  Taglich Brothers assisted Park City in arranging for these shares to be purchased, thus providing Park City with a higher level of comfort that the Merger will be consummated. The shares of Series E Stock acquired in connection with these transactions (collectively, the “Privately Purchased Shares”) were acquired from the selling stockholders at a purchase price of $3,865 per share. The Privately Purchased Shares constitute 66% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series E Stock. Park City intends to purchase all shares of Series G Stock and Common Stock held by the selling stockholders who sold the Privately Purchased Shares at or prior to the Effective Time at per share purchase prices of $1,136.36 and $0.05, respectively.
-40-

Park City also intends to purchase prior to the Effective Time: (i) all shares of Common Stock owned by NewSpring Ventures, a principal shareholder of the Company, at a per share purchase price of $0.05; and (ii) all shares of Series E Stock sold by SDS Capital Group on September 12, 2008 at a purchase price of $3.865 per share.  Michael DiPiano, one of our directors, is an affiliate of NewSpring Ventures, LP.  To complete this purchase, Park City contemplates entering into a purchase agreement with each of the holders of such shares, providing for Park City to purchase the shares for cash payment just prior to closing the Merger.  The purchase agreements will be structured as a simultaneous sign-and-close, will contain no covenants, and include limited representations and warranties as to title, due authorization and no conflict.  These purchases will not be completed unless  all closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Park City has agreed to vote all of the forgoing shares in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3.
 
As of [  ], 2008, certain of the Company’s principal shareholders holding an aggregate of 12,176,700 and 458.68 shares of Common Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, respectively, representing approximately 37% and 96% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Common Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, respectively, have agreed to vote all of their shares, pursuant to lock-up and voting agreements, including all shares acquired after the date of the lock-up and voting agreements, as follows:
 
 
in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of all other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, and the applicable lock-up and voting agreement, and any actions required in furtherance of the Merger Agreement and the applicable lock-up and voting agreement;
     
 
against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Prescient under the Merger Agreement; and
     
 
against any action involving Prescient or its subsidiaries, which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially adversely affect the Merger.
 
The lock-up and voting agreements terminate upon the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement or the effective time of the Merger. The lock-up and voting agreements generally prohibit the signing stockholders from selling or disposing of any shares of the Company beneficially owned by the signing stockholders, unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the applicable lock-up and voting agreement.
 
In addition, as of [  ], 2008, Park City owns 715.96 shares of Series E Stock, representing approximately 43% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series E Stock, voting as a single class, and approximately 10% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series E Stock and Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Park City has agreed to vote the foregoing shares in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3.
   
Adjournments and Postponements
 
Although it is not currently expected, the special meeting may be adjourned or postponed. Any adjournment may be made without notice (if the adjournment is not for more than thirty (30) days), other than by an announcement made at the special meeting of the time, date and place of the adjourned meeting. Whether or not a quorum exists, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereat may adjourn the special meeting.
 
Rights of Stockholders Who Object to the Merger
 
Stockholders are entitled to statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Merger. This means that you are entitled to have the value of your shares determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and to receive payment based on that valuation. The ultimate amount you receive as a dissenting stockholder in an appraisal proceeding may be more than, the same as or less than the amount you would have received under the Merger Agreement.
 
To exercise your appraisal rights, you must submit a written demand for appraisal to the Company before the vote is taken on the Merger Agreement and you must not vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Delaware law will result in the loss of your appraisal rights.

APPROVAL OF MERGER AGREEMENT

THE PARTIES TO THE MERGER
 
Prescient
 
Prescient is a Delaware corporation with operations in Pennsylvania and Texas. Our principal executive offices are located at 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380 and our phone number is (610) 719-1600. We are a leading provider of on-demand solutions for the retail marketplace, including both retailers and suppliers. Our solutions capture information at the point of sale, provide greater visibility into real-time demand and turn data into actionable information across the entire supply chain. As a result, our products and services enable trading partners to compete effectively, increase profitability and excel in today’s retail business climate.
 
Our solutions address the primary concern of retailers and suppliers today: out of stock merchandise. Our retail supply chain and replenishment solutions provide trading partners with the ability to clearly see real-time demand and use that knowledge to drive supply chain efficiency. The results are more accurate ordering and replenishment, lower inventory levels, and fewer out of stock merchandise.
 
We market our solutions to companies primarily throughout North America, with a small percentage of business in Europe. Our customers include many leading consumer goods and retail organizations, including Meijer, SUPERVALU, Sunny Delight Beverage Company, Russell Stover Candies, and Crayola, among others.
 
We have organized our sales operations to address several key markets: Supply Chain, focused primarily on manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers in the consumer products industry, and Advanced Commerce, focused on large mass merchandise, grocery, chain drug stores, electronics, and other “big box” retailers. In addition, we have a professional services organization that provides assessments, implementation services, and support functions to our entire array of customers.
 
Our objective is to maintain our position as a leading provider of advance commerce and supply chain solutions for retail trading partners by enhancing collaboration from the point-of-sale through the entire supply chain. Our solutions translate consumer insight into better execution at the store shelf by capturing scan-sales data, improving forecast accuracy and increasing supply chain efficiencies.

Park City
 
Park City, located at 3160 Pinebrook Road, Park City, Utah 84098, develops and markets computer software and profit optimization consulting services to retailers that are designed to reduce their inventory and labor costs; the two largest controllable operating expenses in the retail industry. Park City’s suite of products, Fresh Market Manager, ActionManager™ and Supply Chain Profit Link (“SCPL”) are designed to address the needs of multi-store retailers and suppliers in store operations management, manufacturing, and both durable goods and perishable product management.
 
Because the product concepts originated in the environment of actual multi-unit retail chain ownership, the products are strongly oriented to an operation’s bottom line results. The products use a contemporary technology platform that is capable of supporting existing product lines and can also be expanded to support related products. Park City continues to transition its software business from a licensed based approach to its new subscription based model through its targeted SCPL strategy. The subscription based SCPL tool and analytics group focuses on leveraging multi-store retail chains, C-Store Chains, and their respective suppliers in order to reduce shrink, labor costs, and increase profitability.
 
Merger Sub
 
Merger Sub was formed by Park City solely for the purpose of completing the proposed Merger. Merger Sub is a wholly owned subsidiary of Park City and has not engaged in any business except for activities incidental to its formation and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Prescient. Upon the consummation of the proposed Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, Prescient will continue as the Surviving Corporation and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Park City. 
  
Randy Fields
 
Mr. Fields is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Park City. As a result of the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Fields was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
This section of the proxy statement describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement and incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. We urge you to read the full text of the Merger Agreement because it is the legal document that governs the Merger. It is not intended to provide you with any other factual information about us. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement and in the public filings we make with the SEC, as described in “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 59.
 
The Merger
 
The Merger Agreement provides for the Merger of Merger Sub with and into Prescient upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Merger Agreement. As the Surviving Corporation, Prescient will continue to exist following the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, the directors of Merger Sub will be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and the officers of the Company will be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation. All Surviving Corporation directors and officers will hold their positions until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until the earlier of their resignation or removal.

We, Park City or Merger Sub may terminate the Merger Agreement prior to the consummation of the Merger in some circumstances, whether before or after the adoption by our stockholders of the Merger Agreement. Additional details on termination of the Merger Agreement are described in “— Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 47.
 
 
The Merger will be effective at the time the certificate of merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at a later time, if agreed upon by the parties and specified in the certificate of merger). We expect to complete the Merger as promptly as practicable after our stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

 
Merger Consideration
 
Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive $0.055 in cash, each share of Series E Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive $4,098.00 in cash, and each share of Series G Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive $1,136.36 in cash, in each case without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, other than the following shares:
 
shares held by holders who have properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal with respect to the Merger; and
   
shares held in treasury or owned by Park City or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Park City, Merger Sub or the Company.
 
After the Merger is effective, each holder of a certificate representing any shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock (other than shares for which appraisal rights have been properly and validly perfected) will no longer have any rights with respect to the shares, except for the right to receive the Merger Consideration. See “Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal” beginning on page  56.
 
Treatment of Options and Warrants
 
Stock Options.  Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to purchase Common Stock under the Company’s equity incentive plans, whether or not exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the options multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $0.055 exceeds the exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.  Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding options, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding options.
 
Warrants.  Each warrant to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of (i) $0.055, over (ii) the exercise price payable in respect of the share of Common Stock issuable under the warrant. Based on the exercise prices of our outstanding warrants, no payment will be made with respect to our outstanding warrants.
 
Payment for the Shares of Stock; Procedure for Receiving Merger Consideration
 
Park City will designate an exchange agent to make payment of the merger consideration as described above. At the closing of the Merger, Park City will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the exchange agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock and Series G Stock, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate share consideration.
 
Following the effective time of the Merger, we will close our stock ledger. After that time, there will be no further transfer of shares of Common Stock, Series E Stock or Series G Stock.
  
Promptly following the effective time of the Merger, Park City and the Surviving Corporation will cause the exchange agent to mail to you a letter of transmittal and instructions advising you how to surrender your certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. The exchange agent will pay you your Merger Consideration after you have (i) surrendered your certificates to the exchange agent and (ii) provided to the exchange agent your signed letter of transmittal and any other items specified by the letter of transmittal. Interest will not be paid or accrue in respect of the Merger Consideration. The exchange agent may reduce the amount of any Merger Consideration paid to you by any applicable withholding taxes. YOU SHOULD NOT FORWARD YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT WITHOUT A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, AND YOU SHOULD NOT RETURN YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THE ENCLOSED PROXY.
 
Any portion of the funds deposited with the exchange agent that remain undistributed to holders of Common Stock of the Company for one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Park City, together with interest and other income received by the Paying Agent. Holders of Company Common Stock who at that time have not yet complied with the exchange procedures outlined above shall thereafter look only to Park City, as general creditors of Park City, for delivery of any Merger Consideration, without interest, that may be payable upon due surrender of their respective share certificates. None of Park City, Merger Sub, the Company, the surviving corporation or the Paying Agent will be liable for any amount properly delivered to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

 
If the exchange agent is to pay some or all of your Merger Consideration to a person other than you, as the registered owner of a stock certificate, you must have your certificates properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and you must pay any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the transfer or establish to the satisfaction of Park City (or any agent designated by Park City) that the taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid.
 
The transmittal instructions will tell you what to do if you have lost your certificate, or if it has been stolen or destroyed. You will have to provide an affidavit to that fact and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, post a bond in an amount that the Surviving Corporation reasonably directs as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Park City, the Surviving Corporation or the exchange agent with respect to the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate.
 
Representations and Warranties
 
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties made by us to Park City and Merger Sub and representations and warranties made by Park City and Merger Sub to us. Some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any particular date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality or material adverse effect different from that generally applicable to public disclosures to stockholders or used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement rather than establishing matters of fact. For the foregoing reasons, you should not rely on the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement as statements of factual information.

execute any checks (except as co-signor) or authorize any transfer of any funds of the Company;

cause the Company to enter into any agreement with Park City or Mr. Fields except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or joint sales practices.
     
The Merger Agreement also provides that, subject to certain limited exceptions, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Park City shall not vote any Common Stock, Series E Stock or Series G Stock beneficially owned by it or initiate any Company stockholder action to:
   
 
amend the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company;
     
 
split, combine or reclassify any shares of Prescient’s outstanding capital stock;

authorize the payment of any dividend or distribution to Prescient’s stockholders.
 
Agreement to Use Commercially Reasonable Efforts
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each of parties has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger, including making all filings with governmental authorities in connection with the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and obtaining all consents under any material contracts.
 
 
Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, Park City delivered to us a letter stating that, when and as required under the Merger Agreement, it shall have available or have access to funds sufficient to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the consummation of the Merger.
 
On or prior to the date that this proxy statement is mailed to Prescient’s stockholders, Park City shall place $2,500,000 into an escrow account which funds shall be used to partially fund the Merger Consideration.  Upon certain breaches of the Merger Agreement by Park City, this amount may be payable to us.  See “—Termination of the Merger Agreement” below.  At least one business day prior to the date of our special meeting of stockholders, Park City will deposit into the escrow account the balance of the funds necessary to consummate the Merger and pay the Merger Consideration to Prescient’s stockholders.

the Merger Agreement must have been adopted by our stockholders; and
     
 
no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order by any federal or state court prohibiting the consummation of the Merger shall have been issued and remains in effect.
 
 
Conditions to Prescient’s Obligations.  Our obligation to complete the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following further conditions, any of which may be waived exclusively by us:

Park City, Merger Sub and Mr. Fields must each deliver a closing certificate to us with respect to the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions relating to covenants and obligations.
 
Restrictions on Solicitations of Other Offers
 
The Merger Agreement provides that, from and after the date of the Merger Agreement, we shall not directly or indirectly, solicit the submission of any acquisition proposal.
  
Notwithstanding the forgoing restriction, we are permitted to participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, and/or furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any of our subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to the personnel, of the Company or any of our subsidiaries to any person that has made a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal.
 
Upon receipt of such an acquisition proposal, we are required to promptly notify Park City in writing of such acquisition proposal and, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations, provide a copy of all written materials provided by such person in connection with such acquisition proposal.  Park City will have up to five business days to respond to such acquisition proposal.
 
An “acquisition proposal” means any offer or proposal for any transaction or series of related transactions other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement involving:
 
(i)           (A) any merger, arrangement, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction involving any of the Company or its subsidiaries, (B) any transaction in which a person or group of persons directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding voting securities of any of the Company or its subsidiaries, or (C) any transaction in which any of the Company or its subsidiaries issues securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding voting securities of any of the Company or its subsidiaries;
 
(ii)           any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license, or disposition of any business or businesses or assets that constitute or account for 10% or more of the consolidated net revenues, net income or assets of any of the Company or its subsidiaries; or
 
(iii)           any liquidation or dissolution of any of the Company or its subsidiaries.
 
We are not entitled to enter into any agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal unless the Merger Agreement has been or is concurrently terminated in accordance with its terms and we have concurrently paid to Park City the $250,000 termination fee as described in further detail in “— Termination Fees and Expenses” beginning on page 48.
 
Termination of the Merger Agreement
 
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Merger, whether before or after stockholder approval has been obtained:
 
 
By mutual agreement of Prescient and Park City;
       
 
By either Prescient or Park City if:
     
     
the Merger is not consummated by March 31, 2009 (the “Termination Date”), provided that if this proxy statement has not been mailed to our stockholders by February 14, 2009, the Termination Date shall be extended until the date that is 45 days after the date this proxy statement is mailed;
         
     
a governmental judgment or order has been enacted, issued, promulgated or granted and is in effect that prohibits or enjoins or otherwise prevents the consummation of the Merger; and
         
     
our stockholders do not adopt the Merger Agreement, the amendment to the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation, or the amendment to the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
 
 
By Prescient if:
     
     
Park City does not deposit $2,500,000 into an escrow account on or before the date this proxy statement is mailed to our stockholders or if Park City does not deposit the remainder of the funds necessary to consummate the Merger into an escrow account at least one business day prior to our special meeting of stockholders;
 
     
prior to the consummation of the Merger, Mr. Fields, as our chief executive officer, (i) causes (except as a co-signor) or authorizes any transfer of any funds of Prescient, and if Mr. Fields fails to promptly cure any such breach after we provide notice of such breach to him; (ii) causes Prescient to make, offer or agree to make any loan to any person; (iii) causes Prescient to incur or agree to incur any debt except for trade debt in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iv) sells, offers or agrees to sell any of Prescient’s assets except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; or (v) causes Prescient to enter into any agreement with Park City or Mr. Fields; or
         
     
our board of directors concludes in good faith that in order to satisfy its fiduciary duties under Delaware law, the board of directors must not make or withdraw its recommendation to our stockholders to approve the Merger.
 
If the Merger Agreement is terminated by us prior to the special meeting in order to enter into a definitive agreement for an alternate acquisition proposal, we must pay Park City a termination fee, as described in further detail in “— Termination Fees and Expenses” below.
 
Termination Fees and Expenses
 
We have agreed to pay Park City a termination fee of $250,000 if we terminate the agreement prior to the special meeting in order to consider or enter into a definitive agreement for an alternate acquisition proposal.  In the event of such termination fee, this termination fee will be Park City’s sole and exclusive remedy under the Merger Agreement.
 
If we terminate the Merger Agreement because Park City did not deposit $2,500,000 into an escrow account or because Park City or Mr. Fields breached certain covenants of the Merger Agreement (after notice and a cure period in certain instances), we will:
 
 
be entitled to all funds contained in the escrow account; and
     
 
have the right to purchase from Park City, and Park City shall be obligated to sell to us, 715.96 Series E Shares owned by Park City at a purchase price of $0.001 per share.
 
If we terminate the Merger Agreement after Park City has deposited $2,500,000 into an escrow account because Park City has failed to deposit sufficient funds to consummate the Merger at least one business day prior to our special meeting or because Park City or Mr. Fields breached certain covenants of the Merger Agreement (after notice and a cure period in certain instances), we will:
 
 
be entitled to $2,5000,000 of the funds contained in the escrow account; and
     
 
have the right to purchase from Park City, and Park City shall be obligated to sell to us the 357.98 Series E Shares owned by Park City at a price of $0.001 per share.
 
Park City may not transfer or assign any of shares of Prescient Common Stock, Series E Stock or Series G Stock owned by it prior to the consummation of the Merger.
 
 
In the event that Park City receives a termination fee as described above, such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all damages incurred by Park City in connection with the matter forming the basis for such termination and no other claims may be brought with respect to such matters.   In addition, the parties are entitled to seek specific performance of the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement with respect to the obligations of the other party or parties, as applicable, including seeking an injunction to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of the Merger Agreement and enforcing compliance with the covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement.

 
Indemnification and Insurance
 
Upon the effective time of the Merger, Park City will, unless prohibited by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the effective time of the Merger, a director or an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL from and against all liabilities, costs, expenses and claims (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising out of the actions taken in performance of their duties as directors or officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time, provided that Park City and the Surviving Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify such person if the indemnification of such person is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited by applicable law.
 
For six (6) years from the effective time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses, covering acts and omissions of directors and officers (and any other employees or agents who otherwise would be entitled to similar benefits thereunder pursuant to the terms thereof in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement), in each case in their respective capacities as such, occurring at or prior to the effective time of the Merger, that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the date of the Merger Agreement.
 
For six (6) years from the effective time of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall provide a policy on the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Such policy shall cover the directors and officers of the Company on terms no less favorable to such directors and officers than the terms of such policy in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement.  In satisfying its obligations with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the Surviving Corporation is not obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 100% of the amount we paid for coverage for our last full fiscal year. If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation is obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding that 100% maximum.
 
Amendment and Waiver
 
The parties may amend the Merger Agreement at any time, except that after our stockholders have adopted the Merger Agreement, there shall be no amendment that by law requires further approval by our stockholders without such approval having been obtained.  All amendments to the Merger Agreement must be approved by the parties’ respective boards of directors and shall be in a writing signed by us, Park City and Merger Sub.
 
Vote Required and Board Recommendation
 
The approval of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class.  Stockholders representing 43% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock, voting together as a single class, currently entitled to vote at the Special Meeting have agreed to vote in favor of this proposal.
 
The board of directors believes that the Merger is in the best interests of our stockholders and recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal. It is intended that the shares represented by the enclosed form of proxy will be voted in favor of this proposal unless otherwise specified in such proxy.
 
 PROPOSAL 2
 
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF SERIES E STOCK
 
Subject to approval of the transactions contemplated in Proposal No. 1 above and Proposal No. 3 below, we propose to amend our Certificate of Designation of our Series E Stock to provide that the Merger Agreement and any related documents shall govern the treatment of the Series E Stock in the event the Merger is consummated.  The text of the proposed certificate of amendment to amend the Series E Stock Certificate of Designation is included herein as Annex C.
 
The Board believes that the Certificate of Designation must be amended in order to allow the holders of Series E Stock to receive the Merger Consideration.  The Certificate of Designation currently provides that in the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Series E Stock shall maintain its relative powers, designations and preferences provided for in the Certificate of Designation.  In order to allow the holders of Series E Stock to receive the Merger Consideration, we are amending the Certificate of Designation to provide that the Merger Agreement will govern the treatment of the Series E Stock in the event the Merger is consummated.    Currently, the Certificate of Designation provides the holders of Series E Stock with certain rights and preferences, including dividend rights, a liquidation preference, and enhanced voting rights.  If the amendment is adopted and the proposed Merger is consummated, the holders of Series E Stock will receive the Merger Consideration in exchange for all of their shares of Series E Stock and will therefore forfeit all rights and preferences granted to them by the existing Certificate of Designation.   The amendment to the Certificate of Designation is specific to the transactions contemplated by the Merger and will have no effect if the Merger is not approved.
 
 
Vote Required and Board Recommendation
 
The approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Designation of our Series E Stock requires the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, and (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class.  Stockholders representing 43% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date of our Common Stock, voting together as a single class, have agreed to vote in favor of this proposal.
 
The board of directors believes that the amendment to our Certificate of Designation of our Series E Stock is in the best interests of our stockholders and recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal. It is intended that the shares represented by the enclosed form of proxy will be voted in favor of this proposal unless otherwise specified in such proxy.
 
 
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF SERIES G STOCK
 
Subject to approval of the transactions contemplated in Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 2 above, we propose to amend our Certificate of Designation of our Series G Stock to provide that the Merger Agreement and any related documents shall govern the treatment of the Series G Stock in the event the Merger is consummated.  The text of the proposed certificate of amendment to amend the Series G Stock Certificate of Designation is included herein as Annex D.
 
The Board believes that the Certificate of Designation must be amended in order to allow the holders of Series G Stock to receive the Merger Consideration.  The Certificate of Designation currently provides that in the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Series G Stock shall maintain its relative powers, designations and preferences provided for in the Certificate of Designation.  In order to allow the holders of Series G Stock to receive the Merger Consideration, we must amend the Certificate of Designation to provide that the Merger Agreement will govern the treatment of the Series G Stock in the event the Merger is consummated.  Currently, the Certificate of Designation provides the holders of Series G Stock with certain rights and preferences, including dividend rights and a liquidation preference.  If the amendment is adopted and the proposed Merger is consummated, the holders of Series G Stock will receive the Merger Consideration in exchange for all of their shares of Series G Stock and will therefore forfeit all rights and preferences granted to them by the existing Certificate of Designation.   The amendment to the Certificate of Designation is specific to the transactions contemplated by the Merger and will have no effect if the Merger is not approved.
 
Vote Required and Board Recommendation
 
The approval of the amendment to our Certificates of Designation of our Series E Stock requires the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Series G Stock, and (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date, voting together as a single class.  Stockholders representing 43% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Stock outstanding on the record date of our Common Stock, voting together as a single class, have agreed to vote in favor of this proposal.
 
            The board of directors believes that the amendment to our Certificate of Designation of our Series G Stock is in the best interests of our stockholders and recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal. It is intended that the shares represented by the enclosed form of proxy will be voted in favor of this proposal unless otherwise specified in such proxy.

DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
 
Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), you have the right to dissent from the Merger and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of your shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, as determined by the court, in lieu of the consideration you would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the Merger Agreement. These rights are known as appraisal rights. The Company’s stockholders electing to exercise appraisal rights must comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL in order to perfect their rights. The Company will require strict compliance with the statutory procedures.
 
The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures required to be followed by a stockholder in order to dissent from the Merger and perfect appraisal rights.
 
This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the full text of which appears in Annex D to this proxy statement. Failure to precisely follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may result in a termination or waiver of your appraisal rights.
 
Section 262 requires that stockholders be notified that appraisal rights will be available not less than twenty (20) days before the stockholders’ meeting to vote on the Merger. A copy of Section 262 must be included with such notice. This proxy statement constitutes the Company’s notice to its stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the Merger in compliance with the requirements of Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 contained in Annex D since failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under the DGCL.
 
If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares, you must satisfy each of the following conditions:
 
 
You must deliver to the Company a written demand for appraisal of your shares before the vote with respect to the Merger is taken. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Voting against or failing to vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement by itself does not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262; and
     
 
You must not vote in favor of or consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement. A vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, by proxy or in person, will constitute a waiver of your appraisal rights and will nullify any previously filed written demands for appraisal. If you fail to comply with either of these conditions and the Merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive the cash payment for your shares as provided for in the Merger Agreement, but you will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares.
 
All demands for appraisal should be addressed to Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380, Attention: Daniel W. Rumsey, must be delivered before the vote on the Merger Agreement is taken at the special meeting and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of the shares. The demand must reasonably inform the Company of the identity of the stockholder and the intention of the stockholder to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares.
 
To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a stockholder must be made by, or in the name of, such registered stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on his or her stock certificate(s). Beneficial owners who do not also hold the shares of record may not directly make appraisal demands to the Company. The beneficial holder must, in such cases, have the registered owner, such as a broker or other nominee, submit the required demand in respect of those shares. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made by or for the fiduciary; and if the shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a nominee for others, may exercise his or her rights of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the written demand should state the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of the record owner.
 
If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or in other nominee form and you wish to exercise appraisal rights, you should consult with your broker or the other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by the nominee.
 
 
Within ten (10) days after the effective time of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation must give written notice that the Merger has become effective to each Company stockholder who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of or consent to the Merger Agreement. At any time within sixty (60) days after the effective time of the Merger, any stockholder who has demanded an appraisal but has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined an appraisal proceeding as a named party has the right to withdraw the demand and to accept the cash payment specified by the Merger Agreement for his or her shares. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of the Merger, any stockholder who has complied with Section 262 shall, upon written request to the Surviving Corporation, be entitled to receive a written statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the Merger Agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal rights have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement will be mailed to the requesting stockholder within ten (10) days after such written request is received by the Surviving Corporation or within ten (10) days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective time of the Merger, either the Surviving Corporation or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. Upon the filing of the petition by a stockholder, service of a copy of such petition shall be made upon the Surviving Corporation. The Surviving Corporation has no obligation to file such a petition in the event there are dissenting stockholders. Accordingly, the failure of a stockholder to file such a petition within the period specified could nullify the stockholder’s previously written demand for appraisal.
   
If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation will then be obligated, within twenty (20) days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to provide the Chancery Court with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the Surviving Corporation. After notice, if so ordered by the Chancery Court, to dissenting stockholders who demanded appraisal of their shares, the Chancery Court is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, and to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Chancery Court may require the stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with that direction, the Chancery Court may dismiss the proceedings as to that stockholder.
 
After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares, the Chancery Court will appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with interest, if any, from the effective date of the Merger through the date of payment of the judgment, which shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at a default rate 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the Merger and the date of payment of the judgment. When the value is determined, the Chancery Court will direct the payment of such value, with interest, if any, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, upon surrender by such holders of the certificates representing those shares.
 
In determining fair value, the Chancery Court is required to take into account all relevant factors. You should be aware that the fair value of your shares as determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the value that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the Merger Agreement.
 
Costs of the appraisal proceeding may be imposed upon the Surviving Corporation and the stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding by the Chancery Court as the Chancery Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder, the Chancery Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. Any stockholder who had demanded appraisal rights will not, after the effective time of the Merger, be entitled to vote shares subject to that demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to those shares, other than with respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective time of the Merger; however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective time of the Merger, or if the stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the terms of the Merger within sixty (60) days after the effective time of the Merger, then the right of that stockholder to appraisal will cease and that stockholder will be entitled to receive the cash payment for his, her or its shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than sixty (60) days after the effective time of the Merger may only be made with the written approval of the Surviving Corporation. In addition, no appraisal proceeding may be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Chancery Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Chancery Court deems just.
 
In view of the complexity of Section 262, the Company’s stockholders who may wish to dissent from the Merger and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors.

   
SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS 

If the Merger is consummated, we will not have public stockholders and there will be no public participation in any future meeting of stockholders. However, if the Merger is not completed or if we are otherwise required to do so under applicable law, we would hold a 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. Any stockholder proposals to be considered timely for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement must be submitted in writing to our principal executive offices, Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., 1247 Ward Avenue, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380, Attention: Daniel Rumsey within a reasonable time before we begin to print and send its proxy materials.  Such proposals must also comply with the SEC’s rules concerning the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials as set forth in Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act and our bylaws.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER DATED AUGUST 28, 2008

(PREVIOUSLY FILED)

 
 

September 11, 2008
CONFIDENTIAL

Board of Directors
Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc.
1247 Ward Avenue
Suite 200
West Chester, PA 19380

Dear Members of the Board:

We understand that Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Prescient” or the “Company”), Park City Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), PAII Transitory Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“the Sub,” and collectively with Parent, the “Buyer”) and Randy Fields, an individual who serves as the Chairman and CEO of Parent, have entered into agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) providing for the Sub to merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

Concurrent with the execution of the Agreement, Buyer has purchased an aggregate of 715.96 shares, and intends, by September 5, 2008, to purchase in a separate transaction an additional 382.536 shares (collectively, the “Privately Purchased Shares”), of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, pursuant to separate securities purchase agreements between and among the Buyer and the holders of such shares.  The combined value of these private transactions totals $4.25 million, representing a price of $3,865.00 per share.  The private transactions and the Merger are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction.”

In connection with the Transaction, each share of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Prescient issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Dissenting Shares and other than any Series G Shares owned by the Buyer) will be converted into the right to receive $1,136.36 in cash without interest upon surrender of certificates formerly evidencing such Series G Shares.  Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Prescient issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Dissenting Shares and other than any Series E Shares owned by the Buyer) will be converted into the right to receive $4,098.00 in cash without interest upon surrender of certificates formerly evidencing such Series E Shares.  Each Common Share, par value $.001 per share, of Prescient issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Dissenting Shares and other than any Common Shares owned by the Buyer) will be converted into the right to receive $0.055 in cash without interest upon surrender of certificates formerly evidencing such Common Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Common Shares owned by the Company’s four largest shareholders will receive $0.05.

 
 
- B-1 -

 
You have requested our opinion as to whether the total consideration to be paid, including for the Privately Purchased Shares and for those shares to be purchased at the Effective Time (the “Transaction Consideration”), by Buyer to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Company Stockholders”) in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company Stockholders as a whole.  Based on the number of Series E Shares, Series G Shares, and Common Shares issued and outstanding, we understand that the Transaction Consideration will be approximately $9.034 million.

Updata Advisors, Inc. (“Updata”) focuses on providing merger and acquisition advisory services to information technology (“IT”) companies.  In this capacity, we are continually engaged in valuing such businesses, and we maintain a database of IT mergers and acquisitions for comparative purposes.

In rendering our opinion, we have among other things:

1.  
reviewed the final Agreement dated August 28, 2008, and based our opinion on our understanding that the terms and conditions of the Agreement will not materially change;

2.  
reviewed the Company’s unaudited and audited historical and projected financial statements provided by management of the Company;

3.  
reviewed certain other financial and operating information of the Company based on information provided by Company management and publicly available information;

4.  
participated in certain discussions with the Company’s senior management concerning the Company’s operational performance and prospects, and strategic rationale for the Transaction;

5.  
compared certain aspects of the financial and market performance of the Company with public companies we deemed comparable in whole or in part to the Company;

6.  
analyzed available information concerning certain other mergers and acquisitions we believe to be comparable in whole or in part to the Transaction;

7.  
reviewed historical reported closing prices and trading activity for Prescient Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board;

 
- B-2 -
 


8.  
prepared a discounted cash flow analysis based on financial projections and assumptions provided by the Company;

9.  
assisted in negotiations and discussions related to the Transaction; and

10.  
conducted other financial studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

In rendering our opinion, we have relied, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all the financial and other information (including without limitation, the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement) that was publicly available or furnished to us by the Company.  We have further relied upon the assurances of management of the Company that they are unaware of any facts that would make the information provided incomplete or misleading in any material respect.  With respect to the financial projections reviewed by us, we have assumed that they were reasonably prepared and reflect the best available estimates and good faith judgments of Company management, and we do not assume any responsibility for or express any view as to the financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.  The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, facts related to general economic and market conditions.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projections.  We have neither made nor obtained an independent appraisal or valuation of any of the Company’s assets, nor have we conducted an inspection of the respective properties and facilities of the Company.  Our opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated only as of the date of this opinion.  Although any change in such conditions or other developments may impact this opinion, we do not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed, with your consent, that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms described in the Agreement, without waiver of any material terms or conditions by the Company.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the Company is not currently involved in any material transaction other than the Transaction and those activities undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting its business.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Transaction Consideration paid and payable to the Company Stockholders in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company Stockholders as a whole.

 
- B-3 -
 


 
We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for our services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.  In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities which may arise out of the rendering of this opinion.

This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof.  The issuance of this opinion has been approved by a fairness committee of Updata.  It is understood that this opinion is for the information of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Transaction, and that Updata is not expressing a view as to the business merits of the Transaction.  Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Transaction Consideration to the Company Stockholders as a whole and we express no opinion as to the underlying decision of the Company’s Board of Directors to recommend the Merger.  In rendering this opinion, we are not opining as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as to the allocation of the Transaction Consideration among the various classes and series of the Company’s capital stock.  We also express no view as to, and our opinion does not address, the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Merger, or any class of such persons relative to the Transaction Consideration.  Furthermore this opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any Company stockholder as to whether such stockholder should vote its, his or her shares of Company Common or Preferred Stock in favor of the Merger.  This opinion may not be published or referred to, in whole or part, without our prior written permission, except that the letter may be included in its entirety in a proxy statement in respect of the Merger filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed by the Company to its stockholders.     
 
                                         Sincerely,


                                            Updata Advisors, Inc.
