                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MS Digital, Inc.

    I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MS Digital, Inc. as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of income, owner's
capital, partners' capital and stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audits.

    Except as discussed in the following paragraph, I conducted my audits in
accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that I plan and perform the audit 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 the management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that
my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

    I was unable to observe the taking of the physical count of the Company's
inventory at December 31, 1999, nor was I able to satisfy myself as to the
quantity of physical inventory by alternative means. The valuation and method
used for the financial statements are described in Note D.

    In my opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might
have been determined had I been able to observe the count of physical inventory,
the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of MS Digital, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and
1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with the generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTE A  FORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND OPERATIONS

    MS Digital was formed in 1994 and operated as a sole proprietorship through
December 31, 1998. On January 1,1999, the sole proprietor of MS Digital (the
"first general partner") and one other person (the "second general partner")
formed MS Digital, GP, a State of Washington general partnership. In connection
with the formation of this partnership, the parties agreed that the value of the
second general partner's contribution to MS Digital would be an increase in
value such that the value of the first general partner's contribution and
interest would be 85%, and the value of the second general partner's
contribution and interest would be 15%. The assets and liabilities transferred
to the partnership follow:

</TABLE>

    The Partnership's net loss for January 1, 1999 through December 15, 1999 is
allocated to the partners' ownership interest percentage in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement.

    On December 16, 1999, MS Digital was incorporated in the State of Washington
under the name MS Digital, Inc. (the "Company"). All of the assets and
liabilities of the partnership were transferred to MS Digital, Inc. in exchange
for common stock in the Company.

    The Company has been in the business of providing communication solutions to
corporations, call centers and government entities. The Company provides
complete solutions, including initial project planning, vendor negotiations,
project implementation, installation, custom computer hardware, training and
support and service contracts. The primary solution is based on InfoChannel
multimedia authoring software. InfoChannel has been the main revenue-producing
product since the Company's inception.

NOTE B  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ESTIMATES

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers cash investments with maturity of three months or less
at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

NOTE B  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

INCOME TAXES

    No provision for income taxes has been made for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 financial statements. Pursuant to applicable
regulation, all income or losses of the sole proprietorship and partnership are
reportable by the individuals directly to the taxing authorities. No income was
allocated or reported for the period from December 16, 1999 through
December 31, 1999, therefore no provision for income tax was made for this
period.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments, which potentially subject the company to credit risk,
consist principally of cash balances greater than $100,000 deposited with a
financial institution. The Company periodically reviews its cash policies and
believes any potential accounting loss to be minimal. The balances at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 in excess of the federal insured limit were $47,138
and $0, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company recognizes revenue at the completion of each project.

NOTE C  ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

    No provisions were made for doubtful accounts receivable as the balances at
December 31,1999 and December 31, 1998 were considered fully collectible.

NOTE D  INVENTORY

    Inventory includes both hardware and software held for resale. The inventory
is valued on the specific identification method. The value was reaffirmed in the
merger agreement. See Note I.

NOTE E  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment consists of the following:

contribution and interest would be 85%, and the value of the second general
partner's contribution and interest would be 15%. (SEE NOTE A). Such increase in
the second general partner's capital generated goodwill in the partnership.

NOTE G  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

the vendor each time vendor's product was used by the Company. In 1999 the
Company paid $24,000 to the vendor under this agreement.

RENT AGREEMENT

    In 1999, the Company entered into a verbal agreement with the second general
partner to make rental payments of $650 per month for production facilities
provided by the second general partner. Administrative office was provided by
the first general partner at no charge to the Company.

by The Pathways Group Inc., a Delaware corporation and the shareholders of the
Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will sell all of the
outstanding stock of the Company in exchange for shares of Pathways Common Stock
in a stock-for-stock transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Smart Card Solutions, Inc.

    I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Smart Card
Solutions, Inc., a development stage company, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the related statements of loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and for the period from June 16, 1998 (inception)
to December 31, 1998. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audits.

    I conducted my audits in accordance with the generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit 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 the
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

    In April, 2000, the Company's assets and liabilities, except for certain
payroll liabilities, were acquired. The Company ceased to operate after that
date. (See Note H)

    In my opinion, except as above, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smart Card
Solutions, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the
period from June 16, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998 in conformity with
the generally accepted accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

NOTE A  FORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND OPERATIONS

    Smart Card Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), a development stage company, was
incorporated on June 16, 1998 in the State of Colorado. The Company is a
business-to-business, technology-based solution provider. The Company maintains
ownership of its hardware, and integrated smart card and Internet technologies
to generate revenue from delivering services to its customers. Remote data
server and transaction processing operations are concentrated in the Company's
development and operations center in Denver, Colorado and Colorado Springs. The
Company also maintained an office in Aspen, Colorado for its operations until
March 29, 2000 (see Note H).

    The Company's market focus is on campus style environments, where the
Company can use its technologies and expertise to provide a complete solution,
integrating point of sale, access control, rental, retail, food and beverage,
reservations, management reporting, accounting, and integrated financial
services. These middle market commercial areas include destination winter sports
and golf resorts, theater complexes, corporate and college campuses, cruise
lines, concerts, performing arts and sporting events.

NOTE B  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ESTIMATES

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers cash investments with maturity of three months or less
at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Software cost is the present
value of the contract liabilities under purchase agreement (SEE NOTE D).
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of
five years. Amortization of software cost is computed on straight-line basis
over a five-year period. Depreciation for income tax purposes is computed using
accelerated methods.

INCOME TAXES

    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Where a deferred tax

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

NOTE B  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
asset has been recognized, a valuation allowance is established if, based on
available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will
not be realized.

    The Company had net operating losses of $1,205,022 and $163,615 for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. No deferred tax assets have
been recognized for the year ended December 31, 1999.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments, which potentially subject the company to credit risk,
consist principally of cash balances greater than $100,000 deposited with a
financial institution. The Company periodically reviews its cash policies and
believes any potential accounting loss to be minimal.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company recognizes revenue at the completion of each project.

NOTE C  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment consists of the following:
