                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Metier, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Metier, Inc. as of September
30, 1998, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we 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
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides 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 Metier, Inc. at September 30,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Metier, Inc. (the Company), incorporated under the laws of the state of
California on November 28, 1995, is primarily engaged in the business of
providing software installation consulting services.

In connection with establishing an employee stock option plan, the Company
effected a 19.12 for one stock split of the Company's common stock in February
1998. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of
shares of common stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock
split.

RECOGNITION OF REVENUE

Substantially all of the Company's contracts are on a time and material basis.
Revenue from such contracts is recognized as services are rendered and costs are
incurred.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

During the year ended September 30, 1998, one customer accounted for 49% of the
Company's total revenues. As of September 30, 1998, $1,542,117 of the Company's
accounts receivable was due from this customer.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consist of bonds and equity securities. All marketable
securities are classified as "available for sale" and are carried at fair value.
As of September 30, 1998, the cost and fair value of marketable securities were
$549,770 and $472,154, respectively, and the gross unrealized losses pertaining
to these securities were $77,616.



                                                                               6

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment
is provided on a straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives
of the assets:
<TABLE>
          <S>                                        <C>
          Computer equipment                         5 years
          Equipment and furniture                    5 years
          Leasehold improvements                     6 years
          Computer software                          3 years
</TABLE>

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of
property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109
requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a
company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight
of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ESTIMATES USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences
may be material to the financial statements.


                                                                               7

ADVERTISING COSTS

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense
was $71,009 for the year ended September 30, 1998.

2.   INCOME TAXES

Effective October 1, 1998, the Company, with the consent of its stockholders,
has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code. Under those provisions, for periods subsequent to September 30,
1998, the Company will not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable
income. Instead, the stockholders will be liable for individual income taxes on
their respective shares of the Company's taxable income.

The provision for income taxes for the year ended September 30, 1998 included in
the statement of income consists of:

contributions to the plan are immediately fully vested while Company matching
contributions are subject to a six-year vesting period. The cost of the Plan for
the year ended September 30, 1998 was $128,396.

5.   EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION INCENTIVE PLAN

In 1998, the Company established Metier, Inc.'s Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
(the Plan) which provides for grants of stock options to certain employees of
the Company. The total number of shares of common stock that can be issued under
the Plan is not to exceed 9,300,000 shares. Options generally vest over a
four-year period. All options expire ten years after date of grant.

The exercise price per share is the fair market value, as determined by the
board of directors, on the date each option is granted.

The following table summarizes the activity in common shares subject to options
for the year ended September 30, 1998:

</TABLE>

As of September 30, 1998, options for 231,917 shares were exercisable. As of
September 30, 1998, 7,972,190 shares were available for future grants.

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plan.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based
on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans consistent with
the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings for the year ended
September 30, 1998 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

grants in 1998: dividend yields of 0%; expected volatility of 0%; risk-free
interest rates of 6.5% and expected lives of five years.

6.   YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE (UNAUDITED)

Many existing computer systems and applications and other control devices use
only two digits to identify a year in the date field, without considering the
impact of the upcoming change in the century. As a result, such systems and
applications could fail or create erroneous results unless corrected so that
they can process data related to the year 2000. The Company relies on its
systems, applications and devices in operating and monitoring all major aspects
of its business. The Company also relies, directly or indirectly, on external
systems of business enterprises for accurate exchange of data. The Company
believes that all of its significant computer software is Year 2000 compliant
and that it will not need to modify or replace its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the Year 2000 and
beyond. However, if internal or external systems do not function as anticipated,
the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact through disruption of the
Company's business and disruptions in the operation of the enterprises with
which the Company interacts.
