               Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants



  Board of Directors and Stockholders
  U.S. Online, Inc.
  Mt. Laurel.  New Jersey

         I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of U.S. Online, Inc. as
  of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
  equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
  the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to
  express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

         I conducted my audit in accordance with 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
  statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis
  for my opinion.

         In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Online, Inc.
  as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations, stockholders'
  equity and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31,1996

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Nature of Operations

      U.S. Online,Inc. "the Company", a Pennsylvania Corporation, is engaged in
      the business of providing computer internet access service and point of
      sale internet franchise sales to customers primarily in the Eastern Region
      of the United States.

      On October 17, 1996 the Company issued an aggregate of 5,800,000 shares of
      restricted common stock to its shareholders in a 5,800 to 1 stock split.

      During 1996, the Company offered to private investors through a private
      offering a total of 600,000 shares at an offering price of $.75 per share.
      The maximum offering would raise the company $450,000, the minimum would
      raise $300,000. At December 31, 1996, the Company obtained its maximum
      offering.

      Fixed Assets

      Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the
      straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of
      the assets.

      Income Taxes

      The company elected to be taxed as a Subchapter "S" Corporation for both
      federal and state tax purposes. Accordingly, the company's results of
      operations are reflected in the shareholder's individual tax returns"
      therefore, no tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying
      financial statements. On December 22, 1996, the company terminated its
      Subchapter "S" election due to the addition of a corporate shareholder.

      The company filed a regular corporate return for the short period December
      22, to December 31, 1996. No provision for taxes has been reflected on the
      accompanying financial statement due to a net loss for the short period.

      Use of Estimates

      In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that
      affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
      contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
      as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
      reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                DECEMBER 31,1996


  NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Con't)

      Repairs and Maintenance

      Expenditures for repairs, maintenance, and minor renewals are charged
      against income as incurred and expenditures for major renewals and
      betterments are capitalized and amortized over five years. The cost and
      accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the
      respective accounts with any gain or loss on disposal reflected in income.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      The Company considers cash equivalents to be those short-term investments
      maturing within three months of the balance sheet date.

      Loss per Share

      The loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
      common stock outstanding during the year. The effect of the stock split of
      5,800 to 1 has been considered in this calculation.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      The note due from shareholders is based on the terms at which those same
      loans would be made currently and approximate their fair value. At
      December 31, 1996, the carrying value of the assets were $720,313 which
      equates their fair value. The carrying value of the capital lease
      obligations was $92,264, the related party long-term note was $242,945,
      and the related party advances were $94,416 and are reflective of
      borrowing rates currently available to the Company.

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

      The Company has a potential concentration of credit risk consisting
      primarily of temporary cash deposits and trade accounts receivable.
      Concentrations of credit with respect to trade receivables are limited due
      to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base
      and their dispersion across different geographic locations. At December
      31, 1996, the Company held $459,336 in one bank account which is in excess
      of the federal deposit insurance company limit of $100,000 creating a
      potential concentration of credit risk of $359,336.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
U.S. Online, Inc.
Mount Laurel, NJ 08054


I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of U.S. Online, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997 and the related statement of operations, shareholders equity,
and cash flows for the period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with 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 from 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.
I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
company will continue as a going concern.

As shown in the financial statements, the company incurred a substantial net
loss of $1,310,142 for 1997. At December 31, 1997, current liabilities exceeded
current assets by $1,399,853 and total liabilities exceed total assets by
$1,036,621. These factors, and others discussed in Note 18 specifically the
bankruptcy filings under Chapter 11 and then conversion to Chapter 7,
liquidation, indicates that the company will not continue to exist. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that will be necessary in the circumstances. In
addition, I was unable to obtain written representations from one of the
directors of U.S. Online, Inc.

Because of the effects of any adjustments that might have resulted had the
ultimate outcome of the uncertainty referred to in the preceding paragraph been
known, I do not express an opinion on the financial statements referred to
above.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (formerly Venture Quest, Inc.) "the Company" is presented to assist in
     understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements
     and notes are representations of the Company's management who is
     responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

     Nature of Operations

     U.S. Online, Inc. (formerly Venture Quest, Inc.) "the Company", was
     organized under the laws of New York on July 18, 1989, and is engaged in
     the business of providing computer internet access service and point of
     sale internet franchise sales to customers primarily in the Eastern Region
     of the United States.

     Basis of Combination

     The combined financial statements include the accounts of U.S. Online,
     Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation and Venture Quest, Inc., a New York
     Corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
     been eliminated in the combination.

     Fixed Assets

     Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the
     straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of
     the assets. Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
     a period of five years.

     Income Taxes

     the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. The Company
     had a net loss of $1,310,410 at December 31, 1997 and accordingly no
     provision for income taxes is necessary. The Company has loss carry forward
     that may be offset against future federal income taxes expiring 2112.

     Use of Estimates

     In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that
     affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of

     as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
     reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                     COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1997


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con't)

     Repairs and Maintenance

     Expenditures for repairs, maintenance, and minor renewals are charged
     against income as incurred and expenditures for major renewals and
     betterments are capitalized and amortized over five years. The cost and
     accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the
     respective accounts with any gain or loss on disposal reflected in income.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers cash equivalents to be those short-term investments
     maturing within three months of the balance sheet date.

     Loss per Share

     The loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
     common stock outstanding during the year.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The note due from shareholders is based on the terms at which those same
     loans would be made currently and approximate their fair value. At December
     31, 1997, the carrying value of the assets were $647,682 which equates
     their fair value. The carrying value of the capital lease obligations was
     $434,196 and are reflective of borrowing rates currently available to the
     Company.

     Deferred Revenue

     Deferred revenue represents prepayment of customer accounts for services to
     be rendered. These revenues are amortized over the number of months in the
     period.

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     The Company has a potential concentration of credit risk consisting
     primarily of temporary cash deposits and trade accounts receivable.
     Concentrations of credit with respect to trade receivables are limited due
     to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and
     their dispersion across different geographic locations.


NOTE 3- FIXED ASSETS

     Major classifications of property and equipment are summarized below:

                                                         Dec. 31,1997

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

NOTE 15 - FRANCHISE DEPOSITS

     The Company has received certain deposits in the amount of $344,500 which
     is reflected as franchise deposit liabilities at December 31, 1997. Upon
     completion of the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular and the specific
     performance and obligations of the Company to install these franchise
     points-of-presence (POP) the Company will recognize such amounts as
     revenue.

NOTE 16 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS AND GOING CONCERN

     As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a
     net loss of $1,310,142 during the year ended December 31, 1997, and as of
     that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by
     $1,319,853 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by
     $1,036,621. These factors create an uncertainty as to the Company's ability
     to continue as a going concern. The Company has developed a plan to reduce
     its liabilities through the sale of assets (POP franchises) and/or a
     possible third party financing. The ability of the Company to continue as a
     going concern is dependent upon the success of the plan. The financial
     statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should
     the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS

     common stock to the Company's franchise legal council in exchange for

     Executive Officer 500,000 shares under the Senior Stock Option Plan and a
     maximum compensation package of $125,000 annually inclusive of the stock
     options. In addition, this employment contract would require certain
     performance results.

NOTE 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Issuance of Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
     The Board of Directors voted on September 16, 1997 to issue and register
     with the securities and exchange commission under Regulation A, 300,000
     shares of 9% subordinated convertible debentures with a floating exercise
     price at a 20% discount to the average closing bid price 15 days prior to
     conversion and a five year maturity. Under the Securities Purchase
     Agreement dated May 6, 1998, the Company raised $300,000 by issuing these
     subordinated debentures and entered into an Intercreditor Agreement with
     the Note Holders.

     certain executory contracts, eleven point of presence locations and all
     equipment located at the Mount Laurel headquarters of the Company.

     Litigation and Objections to Motions under Chapter 11 protection
     Certain motions of protest were filed against the Company and its
     principles for the sale of the Company's assets. In addition, an injunctive
     relief and compensatory and punitive damages attributable to breach of
     common law fiduciary duties as shareholders and other improper actions are
     being sought by certain Point of Presence owners.


     Bankruptcy Motion of Conversion from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7.
     On December 21, 1998, the United States Trustee motioned to convert the
     Chapter 11 petition to Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings. A United States
     Trustee was appointed to liquidate the affairs of the Company based on the
     debtors inability to: provide certain required documentation and schedules,
     to effectuate a plan of reorganization, to pay quarterly fees due to the
     United States Trustee and other supporting facts as stated in the December
     21, 1998 Motion.

with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered

                                                                    Page 5

               Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

On October 23, 1998, Frontline Communications Corp. (the Company) acquired the
business and substantially all of the assets of U. S. Online, Inc. ("USOL")

Pursuant to an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of New
Jersey, on October 23, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets used in the business of U. S. Online, Inc. ("USOL"), including a point of
presence in the Philadelphia area, and assumed two of USOL's executory contracts
for consideration of $566,000 in cash paid upon closing.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 assumes
that the acquisition occurred on September 30, 1998 and includes the September
30, 1998 historical balance sheet of the Company, and the acquired assets of
USOL adjusted for the pro forma effects of this acquisition. The unaudited pro
forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 assumes that the acquisition had
occurred on January 1, 1997. It includes the historical statements of operations
of the Company and USOL for the periods presented adjusted for the pro forma
effects of the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been
included as required and allowed by the rules of the Commission and are provided
for informational purposes only. The pro forma statements of operations do not
purport to be indicative of the results which would have been obtained if the
acquisition had been effected on the date indicated or which may be obtained in
the future.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the respective historical financial
statements of the Company and USOL which are contained elsewhere herein.
