Prospectus
FINANCIAL INTRANET, INC.
3,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
($ ) per share
Financial Intranet, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Financial Intranet"), offers 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock" or the "Shares") on a best efforts basis. These Shares are being offered directly by Financial Intranet without any discounts or selling commissions. Therefore, if all of the Shares are sold, Financial Intranet will receive $6,000,000 less an estimated $180,000 for expenses. No minimum number of Shares must be sold.
We provide broker/dealers and financial advisors with communications services and value-added services, such as customer leads, training and marketing material from mutual funds, and video teleconferencing via a private intranet. This intranet can be used by mutual funds and investment managers to provide product information to broker/dealers and financial advisors who subscribe to Financial Intranet's communications network.
To invest in this stock you must be able to bear a high degree of risk, and your investment could result in a complete loss. You also must accept an immediate, substantial dilution of the book value of your Shares. To read about these issues see, "Risk Factors" which begins on Page 6 and "Dilution" which begins on Page 15.
We anticipate that the public offering price will equal the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share of our Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date prior to the commencement of the Offering under this Prospectus. As of February 24, 1999, the closing bid price per share of Common Stock was $1.23.
Licensed NASD broker/dealers may also participate and receive commissions of up to 10% and a non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the offering price on sales of Shares made by them, which will reduce the proceeds received by Financial Intranet by such amount.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Selling Securityholders are offering, under an alternate prospectus ("Alternate Prospectus") 5,258,333 shares of Common Stock underlying certain warrants (which have not been exercised to date), 4,650,000 shares of Common Stock underlying certain convertible promissory notes (which have not been converted to date), 55,000 shares of Common Stock previously issued and 37,994 shares of Common Stock which may be issued to the Selling Security holders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants issued to the Selling Securityholders but will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the Selling Securityholders.
The Date of this Prospectus is _________, 1999

Financial Intranet offers services to a number of groups in the investment industry:
o For mutual funds and investment managers, Financial Intranet offers an opportunity to distribute product information and provide training to broker/dealers and other financial advisors through interactive video teleconferencing and the transmission of video-on-demand, text and digitally stored documents. Financial Intranet provides these services through state-of-the-art data transmission over a high-speed, secure intranet. Among other things, Financial Intranet's services help mutual funds manage the distribution cost of sales and marketing materials and ensure that broker/dealers have the most current information available.
o For broker/dealers and financial advisors, Financial Intranet offers communications services, including voice and data transmission, at prices intended to be competitive with others in the telecommunications industry, but with value-added features, including immediate access to information about mutual funds as discussed above, video teleconferencing and leads to potential new customers who visit Financial Intranet's web site. These customer leads will be matched with suitable broker/dealers or financial advisors using Financial Intranet's data mining technology. Financial Intranet intends to expand its product offering to broker/dealers to include continuing education and license exam training material in video-on-demand format.

Currently, Financial Intranet resells its communications services to approximately 20 customers which to date have generated only limited revenues.
