     The NetSchools acquisition will be accounted for under SFAS 141 using the
     purchase method of accounting. Acquired assets and liabilities are recorded
     at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. An independent
     appraisal firm performed the valuation of identified intangible assets,
     which consist of a customer list, tradename and acquired technology.
     Goodwill and identified intangible assets are subject to the provisions of
     SFAS 142. Goodwill and identified intangible assets with indefinite lives
     will not be amortized and will be reviewed for impairment on an annual
     basis. Identified intangible assets with definite lives will be amortized
     over five to seven years.

(4)  Bank note payable was paid off concurrent with the acquisition.

     stock immediately prior to the acquisition.

(6)  Accrual of additional liabilities, primarily for separation benefits and
     lease termination costs.
