                                   ----------

                       1,760,174 Shares of Common Stock

                                   ----------

            This prospectus covers the offer and sale of up to 1,760,174 shares
of our common stock from time to time by certain selling security holders named
in this prospectus.


            The shares being offered by the selling security holders include:


            o     1,216,135 shares of common stock currently held by the selling
                  security holders;


            o     424,039 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
                  outstanding warrants; and

            o     120,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
                  an outstanding option.

            We are not offering any shares of common stock.

            The selling security holders will receive all of the net proceeds
from sales of the common stock registered hereby and will pay all underwriting
discounts and selling commissions, if any, applicable to those sales. We will
not receive any proceeds from sales of any of these shares. However, we will
receive the exercise price of the warrants and the option to the extent they are
not exercised subject to their cashless exercise provisions.

            The selling security holder may periodically sell the shares
directly or through agents, underwriters or dealers. The shares may be sold:

            o     in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated
                  transactions or otherwise;

            o     directly to purchasers or through agents, brokers, dealers or
                  underwriters; and

            o     at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
                  related to the prevailing market prices, or at negotiated
                  prices.

            If required, each time the selling securityholder sells shares of
common stock, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific
information about the terms of that transaction. We urge you to carefully read
this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement before you make an
investment decision.

            Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "ACFN." On October 18, 2006, the closing price of our common stock was
$3.25.


      Investing in our securities involves certain risks. You should consider
the "Risk Factors" beginning on page 1 in deciding whether to buy any shares of
our common stock.


            Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense.

                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

            Certain statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in,
this prospectus are forward-looking in nature. These statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates," or the negatives thereof
or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. You are cautioned that
our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties
and, consequently, our actual results may materially differ from those projected
by any forward-looking statements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are
discussed below under the heading "Risk Factors." We make no commitment to
revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or
circumstances after the date any such statement is made.

RISK FACTORS

      Investing in us entails substantial risk. You should consider the
following risks and other information contained in this prospectus, information
incorporated by reference, and information that we file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission from time to time. The information in this prospectus is
complete and accurate as of this date, but the information may change after the
date of this prospectus.

GENERAL FACTORS

We have a history of operating losses and decreasing cash available for
operations.


            We have a history of operating losses, although these losses and our
use of cash to fund our operating activities have decreased over the years. In
2003, 2004 and 2005, we had operating losses of $5.2 million, $2.6 million and
$2.2 million, respectively. Cash used in operations in 2003, 2004, 2005 and in
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1.0 million, $0.1 million, $1.7
million and $1.1 million, respectively.


Loss of the services of a few key employees could harm our operations.

            We depend on our key management, technical employees and sales
personnel. The loss of certain managers could diminish our ability to develop
and maintain relationships with customers and potential customers. The loss of
certain technical personnel could harm our ability to meet development and
implementation schedules. The loss of certain sales personnel could have a
negative effect on sales to certain current customers. Most of our significant
employees are bound by confidentiality and non-competition agreements. We do not
maintain a "key man" life insurance policy on any of our executives or
employees. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to
identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. If we fail to attract or retain highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future, our business could be disrupted.

A failure to integrate our new management may adversely affect us.

            We appointed a new chief financial officer and chief accounting
officer in December 2005 and a new president and chief executive officer in
March 2006. Any failure to effectively integrate our new management and any new
management controls, systems and procedures they may implement, could materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.


RISKS RELATED TO THE RT SOLUTIONS AND IT SOLUTIONS SEGMENTS


Failure to accurately forecast costs of fixed-priced contracts could reduce our
margins.

            When working on a fixed-price basis, we undertake to deliver
software or integrated hardware/software solutions to a customer's
specifications or requirements for a particular project. The profits from these
projects are primarily determined by our success in correctly estimating and
thereafter controlling project costs. Costs may in fact vary substantially as a
result of various factors, including underestimating costs, difficulties with
new technologies and economic and other changes that may occur during the term
of the contract. If, for any reason, our costs are substantially higher than
expected, we may incur losses on fixed-price contracts.


                                        1



Hostilities in the Middle East region may slow down the Israeli hi-tech market
and may harm our Israeli operations; our Israeli operations may be negatively
affected by the obligations of our personnel to perform military service.


            Both our RT Solutions and IT Solutions Segments are currently
conducted in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in
Israel may directly affect these segments of our business. Any increase in
hostilities in the Middle East involving Israel could weaken the Israeli hi-tech
market, which may result in a significant deterioration of the results of our
Israeli operations. In addition, an increase in hostilities in Israel could
cause serious disruption to our Israeli operations if acts associated with such
hostilities result in any serious damage to our offices or those of our
customers or harm to our personnel.


            Many of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform military
reserve duty. In the event of severe unrest or other conflict, one or more of
our key employees could be required to serve in the military for extended
periods of time. In the past, there were numerous call-ups of military
reservists to active duty, and it is possible that there will be additional
call-ups in the future. Our Israeli operations could be disrupted as a result of
such call-ups for military service.

Exchange rate fluctuations could increase the cost of our Israeli operations.

            The sales in this segment stem from our Israeli operations and a
significant portion of those sales are in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"). In
addition, many transactions that are linked to the dollar are settled in NIS.
The dollar value of the revenues of our operations in Israel will decrease if
the dollar is devalued in relation to the NIS during the period from the
invoicing of a transaction to its settlement. In addition, significant portions
of our expenses in those operations are in NIS, so that if the dollar is
devalued in relation to the NIS, the dollar value of these expenses will
increase.

One of our major customers has a history of operating deficits and may implement
cost-cutting measures that may have a material adverse effect on us.

            In 2005, 17% of the software consulting and development segment's
sales (13% and 11% in 2004 and 2003, respectively) and 8% of its billed
receivables and unbilled work-in-process at December 31, 2005 (3% at December
31, 2004) were related to the Clalit Health Fund. The Clalit Health Fund is the
largest HMO in Israel and one of the largest in the world. The fund has a
history of running at a deficit, which in the past has required numerous cost
cutting plans and periodic assistance from the Israeli government. Should the
fund have to institute additional cost cutting measures in the future, which may
include restructuring of its terms of payment, this could have a material
adverse effect on the performance of this segment.

We have sold our outsourcing business, which in the past provided our Israeli
operations with a steady cash flow; our Israeli operations may be hindered by
future cash flow problems.

            In August 2005, we sold our outsourcing business, which in the past
provided our Israeli operations with a steady cash flow stream, and, in
conjunction with bank lines of credit, helped to finance our Israeli operations.
Our present operations, as we are currently structured, places a greater
reliance on our meeting project milestones in order to generate cash flow to
finance our operations. Should we encounter difficulties in meeting significant
project milestones, resulting cash flow difficulties could have a material
adverse effect on our operations.

If we are unable to keep pace with rapid technological change, our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows may suffer.

            Some of our RT and IT solutions are characterized by rapidly
changing technologies and industry standards and technological obsolescence. Our
competitiveness and future success depends on our ability to keep pace with
changing technologies and industry standards on a timely and cost-effective
basis. A fundamental shift in technologies in could have a material adverse
effect on our competitive position. Our failure to react to changes in existing
technologies could materially delay our development of new products, which could
result in technological obsolescence, decreased revenues, and/or a loss of
market share to competitors. To the extent that we fail to keep pace with
technological change, our revenues and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.


                                        2



RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMVERGE INVESTMENT

We may need to invest additional funds in Comverge in order to avoid dilution of
our holdings.

            We currently own approximately 23% of Comverge's outstanding capital
stock (64% of Comverge's common shares and approximately 7% its preferred
shares). On October 5, 2006, Comverge filed a registration statement on Form S-1
for the sale of additional shares. Should Comverge complete the sale of shares
pursuant to the registration statement, our position in Comverge would be
substantially diluted.

Our shares of Comverge common stock may in certain events not share ratably with
the Comverge preferred stock.

            While we currently hold approximately 23% of Comverge's outstanding
stock, we hold only 7% of the outstanding preferred stock of Comverge. In
certain events, including a merger of sale of the assets of Comverge, the
holders of the Comverge preferred stock would generally be entitled to receive a
preference payment equal to a multiple of their investment in Comverge before
any amounts are paid to the holders of the Comverge common stock. Since the
majority of our Comverge shares holdings consist of common stock, we may not
share ratably with Comverge's other major shareholders.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

There is only a limited trading market for our common stock and it is possible
that you may not be able to sell your shares easily.


            There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. Our
common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "ACFN" with,
until recently, very limited trading volume. We cannot assure you that a
substantial trading market will be sustained for our common stock.


Our share price may decline due to the large number of shares of our common
stock eligible for future sale in the public market including the shares of the
selling security holders.

            A substantial number of shares of our common stock are, or could
upon exercise of options or warrants, become eligible for sale in the public
market as described below. Sales of substantial amounts of our shares of common
stock in the public market, or the possibility of these sales, may adversely
affect our stock price.


      o     As of September 30, 2006 there were 664,039 warrants with a weighted
            average exercise price of $2.81 and 2,099,035 options with a
            weighted average exercise price of $2.42 per share, presently
            exercisable, which if exercised for cash would result in the
            issuance of an additional 2,763,074 shares of common stock.

      o     The selling security holders under this registration statement may
            sell up to 1,760,174 shares of our common stock, including 424,039
            shares which may be issued upon the exercise of warrants held by the
            selling security holders and 120,000 shares which may be issued upon
            the exercise of an option by a selling security holder.


            The holders of the above options and warrants may be expected to
exercise their rights and sell shares of our common stock at a time when we
would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain needed capital through a new
offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by these
warrants and options.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

            We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the
selling security holders. To the extent that the warrants or option are
exercised by the selling security holders for cash, rather than by cashless
exercise, we will receive proceeds constituting the exercise price of such
warrants or option, less warrant solicitation fees in the case of the warrants,
if applicable. Any such proceeds received by us through warrant or option
exercises will be used for working capital.

                            SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

            On July 31, 2006, we completed a private placement to investors of
1,200,003 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional
300,005 shares of common stock. This prospectus covers the sale by the selling
security holders from time to time of 1,200,003 million shares issued in the
private placement and the 420,006 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
issued in the private placement, which warrant shares include 120,001 issued to
First Montauk Securities Corp, and its agents and assignees, as partial
consideration for its role as placement agent and 120,000 shares issuable upon
exercise of an option.

            The warrants issued in the private placement have an exercise price
of $2.78 and are exercisable through July 31, 2011.

            On July 20, 2006 we engaged Bibicoff & Associates to provide
investor relations services. In connection with the engagement we issued to
Bibicoff & Associates an option to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock. Of
the 120,000 shares, 40,000 vested on August 1, 2006 and the remainder vest 5,000
shares per month thereafter. The option is exercisable through July 31, 2011 at
an exercise price of $2.80 per share.


      On August 29, 2006 we completed a private placement of 16,132 shares of
common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 4,033 shares. The warrants
have an exercise pirce of $2.78 per share and are exercisable through July 31,
2011.


            We issued the securities to the selling security holders without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") in reliance
upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for
transactions not invloving a public offering. Prior to issuance, each selling
security holder represented to us that it was an accredited investor, as defined
in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that it was acquiring
the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or sale in
connection with, any distibution thereof.

            The term "selling security holder" includes (i) each person and
entity that is identified in the table below (as such table may be amended from
time to time by means of an amendment to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part) and (ii) any transferee, donee, pledgee or other
successor of any person or entity named in the table that acquires any of the
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus in a transaction exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and that is
identified in a supplement or amendment to this prospectus.

      We have listed below:

      o     the name of each selling security holder;

      o     the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the
            selling security holder as of the date of this prospectus;

      o     the maximum number of shares of common stock being offered by each
            of them in this offering; and

      o     the number of shares of common stock to be owned by the selling
            security holder after this offering (assuming sale of such maximum
            number of shares) and the percentage of the class which such number
            constitutes (if one percent or more).

      The footnotes to the table identify each selling security holder that is a
registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

      Except as otherwise noted below, during the last three years, no selling
security holder has been an officer, director or affiliate of our company, nor
has any selling security holder had any material relationship with our company
or affilliates during that period. Each selling security holder represented at
the closing of the private placement that it did not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any of the
securities. The selling security holders purchased the securities in the
ordinary course of business, to the best of our knowledge.


      The shares of common stock being offered hereby are being registered to
permit public secondary trading, and the selling security holders are under no
obligation to sell all or any portion of their shares included in this
prospectus. The information contained in the following table is derived from our
books and records, as well as from our transfer agent. The following table
assumes the sale of all securities covered by this prospectus.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Plan of Distribution

            On and after the date of this prospectus, the selling security
holders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock
on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our common
stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

            o     ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
                  broker-dealer solicits a purchaser;

            o     block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell
                  the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
                  the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

            o     purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
                  broker-dealer for its account;

            o     an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
                  applicable exchange;

            o     privately negotiated transactions;

            o     short sales;

            o     broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholder to
                  sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price
                  per share;

            o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and

            o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

            The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144
under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

            Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange
for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any
broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in
amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these
commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of
transactions involved.

            The selling security holder and any broker-dealers or agents that
are involved in selling the shares of our common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the shares of our common stock purchased by them
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. The selling security holders have informed us that it does not have any
agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to
distribute our common stock.


            Certain of the selling security holders are registered
broker-dealers or affiliates of registered broker dealers as indicated under
"Selling Security Holders." Any selling security holder that is a registered
broker-dealer or its affiliate will be considered an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the sale of securities pursuant
to this prospectus and any commissions received by such broker-dealer and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by it may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

            First Montauk Securities Corp, Inc. is a registered broker dealer
and NASD member firm. First Montauk Securities Corp served as placement agent in
our recently completed private placement offering, and received, in addition to
cash commissions, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 120,001 shares of our
common stock with an exercise price of $2.78 per share (the "First Montauk
Securities Corp Warrants"). Of these warrants to purchase 120,001 shares of our
common stock, First Montauk Securities Corp assigned 31,194 to its officers and
16,318 to Oppenheimer & Co., a registered broker dealer and NASD member firm, as
allowed under NASD Rule 2710 (g)(2). The warrants to purchase 16,318 shares of
our common stock assigned to Oppenheimer & Co., were assigned as partial
compensation for its participation as selling agent in the private placement
pursuant to an agreement between First Montauk Securities Corp. and Oppenheimer
& Co. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part includes
the shares underlying the warrants held by First Montauk Securities Corp, its
officers, and Oppenheimer & Co.


            The First Montauk Securities Corp Warrants expire on July 31, 2011.
The 120,001 shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the
First Montauk Securities Corp Warrants are restricted from sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge or hypothecation or be the subject of any hedging, short
sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective
economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days
immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement of which
this prospectus forms a part except as permitted under NASD Rule 2710 (g)(1) and
(2).


                                        8




            In addition to fees paid to First Montauk Securities Corp as
placement agent in the private placement, they are also entitled to the payment
of a warrant solicitation fee equal to 5% of the exercise price of the warrants
exercise by the selling security holders, excluding themselves, their officers,
and Oppenheimer and Co. Such fees shall be paid in accordance with the
applicable rules of the NASD. Further, the Company agreed that for a period of
18 months following the closing of the private placement, First Montauk would be
entitled to receive at each closing of any other equity financing, convertible
debt financing or any instrument convertible into shares of common stock from
any source contacted by First Montauk on the Company's behalf during the private
placement and disclosed to the Company in writing or from any investor who
purchases shares in the private placement (i) a cash transaction fee in the
amount of 10% of the amount of the gross proceeds received by the Company from
any such financing, (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the amount
of gross proceeds received by the Company from any such financing and (iii)
additional placement agent warrants. These fees and additional warrants are not
payable in connection with the resale of any securities covered by this
prospectus and were granted to First Montauk at the commencement of the private
placement. These additional compensation rights were granted to First Montauk
because the parties acknowledged that the sources of financing brought to the
Company by First Montauk were valuable business assets and the property of First
Montauk, and therefore First Montauk was entitled to compensation in the event
that the Company used these business assets to obtain additional financing.

            First Montauk Securities Corp has indicated to us its willingness to
act as selling agent on behalf of certain of the selling security holders named
in the Prospectus under "Selling Security Holders." that purchased our privately
placed securities. All shares sold, if any, on behalf of selling security holder
by First Montauk Securities Corp would be in transactions executed by First
Montauk Securities Corp on an agency basis and commissions charged to its
customers in connection with each transaction shall not exceed a maximum of 4%
of the gross proceeds. First Montauk Securities Corp does not have an
underwriting agreement with us and/or the selling security holders and no
selling security holders are required to execute transactions through First
Montauk Securities Corp. Further, other than their existing brokerage
relationship as customers with First Montauk Securities Corp, no selling
security holder has any pre-arranged agreement with First Montauk Securities
Corp to sell their securities through First Montauk Securities Corp. No NASD
member firm shall be entitled to receive more than 8% compensation determined
under NASD rules (specifically NASD Rule 2710) in connection with the resale of
the securities by the selling security holders.

            NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling
shareholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this
Prospectus through a member of the NASD participating in a distribution of our
securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing is
first made with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD and disclosing to
