               We have reported beneficial ownership in accordance with the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of
shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that
person, we treated the underlying shares of common stock subject to warrants
held by that person or entities controlled by that person as though they were
outstanding, but we have not included those underlying shares for purposes of
computing percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage ownership is
otherwise based on a total of 15,821,762 common shares outstanding as reported
in The Pathways Group's definitive proxy statement filed on June 16, 2000.
