Summary: We give a classification theorem for a class of $C^*$-algebras which are direct limits of finite direct sums of $\mathcal{E}_{0}$-algebras. The invariant consists of the following: (1) the set of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections; (2) the set of homotopy classes of hyponormal partial isometries; (3) a map $d$; and (4) total $K$-theory.
