wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant.
In connection with the acquisition, the registrant effected a 1-for-4
reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock and
changed its name to Columbus Networks Corporation. The registrant's new
CUSIP number is 199463 10 0 and its new trading symbol is CLMK.
The registrant has issued 14,955,475 (post-reverse split) shares of its
common stock to the shareholders of Columbus. There are now 20,859,250
shares of common stock of the registrant issued and outstanding.
The registrant's management now consists of designees from Columbus,
with the exception of Mr. Watts:
Roger Watts - Chairman of the Board of Directors

Effective December 11, 2000, the executive offices of the registrant
will be located at the facilities of Columbus in Kelowna, British
Columbia.
Columbus provides sector-specific electronic recruitment services to
educators, school districts, universities and private educational
employers in the education systems of Canada and United States.
Services include on-line resume services, job postings, a bookstore,
electronic application forms as well as other related services that
meet the needs of the client. Columbus intends to expand the scope of
services within their education networks by adding unique entry portals
for students, teachers and employers. These portals will be distinctive

Notes to Financial Statements
Three month period ended September 30, 2000
(Unaudited - prepared by Management)
$ United States
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
The company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British
Columbia on March 3, 1999 and began operations on December 1, 1999. The
major activity of the company is developing electronic recruitment
websites including educationcanada.com, educationamerica.net and
globalesl.net.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a) Basis of presentation:
In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a predecessor entity's financial statements are
required to be presented in specified U.S. Securities filing
documents. Accordingly, the amounts presented for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 in the statements of operations and cash
flows are those of a predecessor partnership. The financial
information presented as at September 30, 2000 and for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and for the period from
inception (March 3, 1999) to September 30, 2000 is unaudited,
however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring items) necessary for the fair presentation
of these unaudited amounts in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States have been made.
(b) Translation of financial statements:
The company operates in Canada and its operations, and therefore its
functional currency, are conducted in Canadian currency.
These financial statements have been translated into United States
dollars. The method of translation applied is as follows:
i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in
effect at the balance sheet date, being U.S. $1.00 per Cdn.
$1.4862 (June 30, 2000, US $1.00 per CDN $1.4806).
ii) Revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate in
effect at the transaction date.
iii) The net adjustment arising from the translation is recorded in a
separate component of stockholders' equity called "cumulative
translation adjustment" which is included in the "accumulated
other comprehensive income."

100,000 Class A common shares in exchange for the ownership of a

10,000 Class A common shares for stock subscriptions of $1,689
received prior to June 30, 2000.

agreement with Golden River Resources Inc. ("Golden River"), the
shares of which are listed and posted for trading on the facilities
of the over-the-counter bulletin board market in the United States.
The agreement contemplates that all of the shareholders of the
Company will exchange their common shares for approximately 70%,
prior to the issuance of 2,097,232 Class A common shares for
brokerage fees and common shares sold in a recent private placement
by Golden River, of the common shares of Golden River. The shares of
Golden River received by the shareholders of the Company may be
subject to escrow. The transaction, if completed as contemplated,
will be accounted for by the purchase method as a reverse take-over
with the Company identified as the acquirer which is deemed to
acquire Golden River.
Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company issued 2,097,232 Class
A common shares for brokerage fees related to the share exchange with
Golden River described above. The fair value of the shares issued,
aggregating $352,784, approximated the fair value of the brokerage
services received.
(b) On October 10, 2000 the Company issued 300,000 Class A common shares
for services to be performed. The fair value of the shares issued,
aggregating $50,464, approximates the fair value of the services to

common shares for aggregate cash proceeds of $4,037.
