Pursuant to Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
registration fee has been calculated based on a price of $2.79 per share of common stock of
ACE*COMM (the average of the high and low price per share of common stock of ACE*COMM as
reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on March 24, 2006). Pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the
Securities Act of 1933, this registration statement covers, in addition to the number of
shares of Common Stock shown above, an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock to be
offered or sold pursuant to the ACE*COMM Corporation Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Plan
that may be issued as a result of the anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions therein. |
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

common stock for issuance pursuant to the ACE*COMM Corporation Amended and Restated 2000 Stock
Option Plan for Directors, as amended (the “Plan”). The increase in the number of shares
authorized for issuance under the Plan was approved by our stockholders at our 2005 annual meeting,
held on December 2, 2005. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the
