                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Mastering Computers, Inc.:


   
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MASTERING COMPUTERS, INC. 
(an Arizona S corporation) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
    

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Mastering Computers, Inc. as
of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their operations and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                           MASTERING COMPUTERS, INC.


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   
Mastering Computers, Inc. (Mastering Computers), an Arizona S corporation, is
primarily engaged in the presentation of technical computer software seminars
across the continental United States.  Mastering Computers also produces, sells
and distributes a technical computer newsletter. 
    

      REVENUE RECOGNITION

Seminar revenues received and related direct costs incurred prior to seminar
presentation are deferred.  Upon seminar completion, all related revenues and
expenses are recognized.  Newsletter subscription revenues are deferred and
recognized over the term of the subscription, and related subscription
fulfillment costs are expensed as incurred.  Deferred seminar expenses were
approximately $361,000 and $564,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively, and are included in deferred expenses and other on the
accompanying balance sheets.

      INCOME TAXES

   
Mastering Computers is an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code.  As a
result, Mastering Computers is not required to pay federal income taxes.
Instead, the shareholder includes in his personal tax return the income or loss,
as adjusted to reflect the effects of certain transactions which are accorded
different accounting treatment for income tax purposes.
    

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less
are considered to be cash equivalents.

      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and the line of credit approximate fair value because of the
short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

   
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS No. 123), is required to be adopted by Mastering Computers in
fiscal 1996.  Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Mastering Computers
will continue to account for transactions with its employees pursuant to 
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees.  Therefore, this statement is not expected to have a material effect
on Mastering Computers' financial position or its results of operations when
adopted.

      USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
   

Financial instruments that potentially subject Mastering Computers to 
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.  
Mastering Computers places its cash with high quality financial institutions. 
    

   

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited
due to the large number of customers comprising Mastering Computers' customer 
base. Mastering Computers performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers,
but does not require collateral to support customer receivables.  Mastering
Computers established an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other
information. 
    

(2)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

   
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation of property and
equipment is provided using the straight-line method.  The following estimated
useful lives are used for depreciation:
    

         Leasehold improvements                 5 years  
         Computer equipment                   3-5 years
         Furniture and fixtures                 7 years  
         Office equipment                     5-7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred.
Expenditures of major renewals and betterments to property and equipment are
capitalized.

For the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, maintenance and repair
expenses were approximately $4,000, $10,000 and $11,000, respectively.  When
assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon
are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in
operations.

</TABLE>


(4)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

   
Mastering Computers paid approximately $529,000, $962,000 and $861,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, for printing,
mailing, marketing and other creative services to companies owned by certain
members of Mastering Computers Board of Advisors or family members of Mastering
Computers' shareholder. 
    

   
During 1995, Mastering Computers entered into an agreement to expand certain
products available to seminar customers with a company owned by a family member
and a member of Mastering Computers Board of Advisors.  Mastering Computers had
approximately $41,000 payable to the Company included in accrued expenses at
December 31, 1995 relating to the agreement. 
    

(5)  PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

   
Mastering Computers has a profit sharing plan for substantially all employees.
All employees who have completed one year of service and reached the age of 21
are eligible to participate in the plan. 
    

   
Mastering Computers contributions consist of an annual discretionary
contribution.  Mastering Computers' 1993 and 1994 annual contributions were
$40,913 and $71,344, respectively.  Mastering Computers made no 1995 annual
contribution.  The discretionary contribution is allocated to participants
eligible to share in the contribution for the Plan year.  The contribution is
allocated based on a ratio of each participant's earnings to total compensation
received by all eligible participants. 
    

(6)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

   
In February 1996, Mastering Computers granted 2.33 additional options to a key
employee at an option price of $17,200 per share scheduled to vest ratably over
a period of five years subject to immediate acceleration upon the occurrence of
a change in control of Mastering Computers. The difference between the option
price per share and the fair value per share of the underlying stock will be
amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period.
    

   
Effective August 1, 1996, Mastering Computers merged with ERI, a publicly held
entity whose chairman, president, and chief executive officer is a family member
of Mastering Computers' shareholder. In connection with the merger, ERI issued
1,175,000 shares of stock for all the outstanding common stock of Mastering
Computers in a transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a
result of the merger, Mastering Computers became a wholly owned subsidiary of
ERI.

                           MASTERING COMPUTERS, INC.


               NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

   
The accompanying condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by
Mastering Computers without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations.  The accompanying condensed interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with Mastering Computers' historical financial
statements and notes. 
    

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results
of operations for the periods presented.  The preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions.  Such estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying condensed
financial statements, and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire year.

   
(2)  CONSULTING ARRANGEMENT:
    

   
In the second quarter of 1996, pursuant to a contract entered into in May 1996
between Mastering Computers and ERI, Mastering Computers incurred expenses of
approximately $600,000 for consulting services which were performed by ERI and
are included in selling, general and administrative in the accompanying 
statements of operations.
    

(3)  STOCK OPTIONS:

   
In January 1996, Mastering Computers granted options for 2.33 shares of common
stock to a key employee at an exercise price of $17,200 per share scheduled to
vest ratably over a period of five years, subject to immediate acceleration upon
the occurrence of a change in control of Mastering Computers (See Note 4). The
difference between the exercise price per share and the fair value per share of
the underlying stock will be amortized as compensation expense over the vesting
period and is included as deferred compensation at June 30, 1996 in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet.
    

(4)  MERGER WITH EAGLE RIVER INTERACTIVE, INC.:

   
Effective August 1, 1996, Mastering Computers merged with ERI, a publicly held
entity whose chairman, president, and chief executive officer is a family member
of the Mastering Computers shareholder. In connection with the merger, ERI
issued 1,175,000 shares of stock for all the outstanding common stock of the
Company in a transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a
result of the merger, Mastering Computers became a wholly owned subsidiary of
ERI.

                           COMPANY AND MASTERING COMPUTERS

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   
         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume
         a business combination between ERI and Mastering Computers accounted
         for on a pooling-of-interests basis.  The pro forma condensed combined
         balance sheet combines ERI's consolidated condensed consolidated
         balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 with Mastering Computers' condensed
         balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 giving effect to the merger as if it
         had occurred on June 30, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
         combined statements of operations combine ERI's and Mastering
         Computers' historical results for the six months ended June 30, 1995
         and 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 giving
         effect to the merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the
         earliest period presented.  The pro forma condensed combined financial
         statements are based on the historical financial statements and the
         notes thereto of ERI included in the Registration Statement on Form S-1
         as restated in ERI's amended Form 8-k filed on September 6, 1996 and
         the historical financial statements of Mastering Computers included
         herein.
    

   
         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give
         effect only to the reclassifications and adjustments set forth in the
         accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
         statements.  Unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily
         indicative of the results of operations or financial position which
         would have occurred had the merger been consummated at the beginning of
         the earliest period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of
         ERI's future results of operations or financial position.  The 
         unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not
         incorporate any benefits from cost savings or synergies of operations
         of the combined company. 
    

   
         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
         should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
         financial statements of ERI and the financial statements of
         Mastering Computers included herein.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pro Forma Basis of Presentation
   

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the issuance of
1,175,000 shares of ERI Common Stock for all 100 shares of outstanding Mastering
Computers' Common Stock in connection with the Merger. 
    

   
    

   
Merger Transaction Costs
    
   
ERI and Mastering Computers estimate direct transaction costs of approximately
$.75 million associated with the Merger, consisting of transaction fees for
investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other related charges.  The
nonrecurring costs will be charged to operations in future fiscal quarters and
have not been reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations.
    
 

PRO FORMA INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

   
The pro forma combined income (loss) per share is based on the combined weighted
average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares of ERI Common
Stock and Mastering Computers Common Stock outstanding for each period, using
the exchange ratio based on the issuance of 1,175,000 shares of ERI Common Stock
for all of the outstanding shares of Mastering Computers Common Stock. Pursuant
to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins and Staff
Policy, such computations include all common and common equivalent shares issued
within 12 months of ERI's Initial Public Offering date as if they were
outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method. Pro forma
income (loss) per share for periods prior to the year ended December 31, 1995 
have not been presented as they are not considered to be meaningful given the 
changes in ERI's capital structure upon ERI's Initial Public Offering.
    

COMFORMING AND PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

There were no adjustments required to conform the accounting policies of ERI and
Mastering Computers. Certain amounts for Mastering Computers have been
reclassified to conform with ERI's financial statement presentation.
