                THE MURDOCK GROUP CAREER SATISFACTION CORPORATION
              Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Nature of Operations

The  accompanying  interim  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  are
unaudited and have been prepared  consistent with generally accepted  accounting
principles for interim  financial  information and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all
of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting
principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial  statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's  annual  report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended  December
31, 1999. Unless the context otherwise  requires,  reference to "the Company" or
"The Murdock Group" includes The Murdock Group Career Satisfaction  Corporation,
a Utah  corporation,  and its  subsidiary,  myjobsearch.com,  inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation.

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  only  of  normal
recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to fairly  present the  Company's  financial
position as of March 31, 2000 and the results of  operations  and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the following  explanatory notes. The results
of  operations  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31,
2000.

Note 2 - Operations

The Company is a job-search  and  employment  training  company.  The Company is
focused to service  professionals  with five or more years of experience who are
dissatisfied  with their career direction or current job situation.  The Company
offers job-search training workshops,  consultants and coaches,  and access to a
job-search resource center.

The Company also provides  full-service  hiring assistance,  including training,
recruiting, and outplacement to corporations. Substantially all of the Company's
revenue is from the services  described  above.  At its  inception,  the Company
purchased  assets, a copyright,  rights to the business name, and  miscellaneous
intangible assets from an individual operating as a sole proprietorship.

In June 1999, the Company formed a Delaware  subsidiary  called  myjobsearch.com
("MJS") and transferred to MJS all the Company's developmental materials for  an
interest in the web site myjobsearch.com in exchange for 2,000,000 common shares
of MJS.

MJS issued  1,362,449  shares to the shareholders of the Company on the basis of
one MJS share for each  Company  share held.  The shares were sold at par value,
$.01 per share, raising $13,624.

On July 30, MJS sold 257,700 shares of common stock at $.15 per share, raising a
total of $379,050.

MJS is currently in development and to date has not recognized any revenue.

In September 1999, the Company established a real-estate division to acquire and
prepare for development or hold for investment undeveloped real property.

Note 3 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share ("Basic EPS") excludes  dilution and is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted  average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share
("Diluted  EPS")  reflects  the  potential  dilution  that could  occur if stock
options or other contracts to issue common stock including convertible preferred
stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  The computation of Diluted
EPS does not assume  exercise or  conversion  of  securities  that would have an
anti-dilutive effect on net income per common share.

At March 31,  2000,  there were  outstanding  options  and  warrants to purchase
2,154,231 shares of common stock.

Note 4 - Segment Information

The  Company  has two  operating  segments,  real  estate and  career  services.
Management  considers  these  segments of the Company to be the only  reportable
operating  segments.   These  operating  segments  are  evaluated  regularly  by
management  in  determining  the  allocation  of resources  and in assessing the
performance  of the Company.  Management  evaluates  performance  based on sales
revenue and the amount of operating income or loss.

Segment profit or loss is based on profit or loss from operations  before income
taxes and includes a management fee charged by the domestic operation to each of
the foreign entities.  All other  intersegment  transactions are eliminated from
the following segment information.  Interest revenues and expenses, income taxes
and equity in the earnings of subsidiaries,  while significant, are not included
in the  Company's  determination  of  segment  profit or loss in  assessing  the
performance of a segment. To date all revenues from operations have been derived
from the career development services segment of the Company.

Note 5 - Revenue Recognition

The Company's career development program provides the participant an opportunity
to attend two training  classes and the  optional use of other  resources of the
Company such as its career library,  job search software and referral  services.
Revenue  from job  training  services  is  recognized  by the  Company  upon the
participant's completion of the two training classes.

Revenue is recognized  completely  in the month it is earned for those  services
requiring less than one month to complete.  Cash discounts,  cancellations,  and
write-offs  are  recognized  based on certain  criteria  such as time since last
payment made,  cancellation  requests negotiated and granted, and contract price
reduction due to early cash payment.

Note 6 - Subsequent Event

On April 17, 2000, the subsidiary was successful in raising  approximately  $5.7
million ($5.2 million after  deducting  estimated cash offering costs) through a
private placement of convertible  preferred stock. Of this amount,  $1.8 million
was not received in cash but rather  related-party  notes payable were converted
into shares of convertible  preferred stock. The private  placement  reduced the
Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary to less than fifty percent.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this
report.  The  discussion of these  results  should not be construed to imply any
conclusion that any condition or circumstance  discussed herein will necessarily
continue  in the  future.  When  used  in this  report,  the  words  "believes,"
"anticipates,"  "expects,"  and  similar  expressions  are  intended to identify
forward-looking  statements.  Those  statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties  that could cause actual results to differ  materially  from those
that are modified by such  statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these  forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date
hereof.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of
any revisions to these  forward-looking  statements  that may be made to reflect
events  or  circumstances  after  the date of this  report,  or to  reflect  the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

The Company has incurred  significant  losses to date developing its proprietary
job-search technology into a training system that can service a larger volume of
customers  than  its  original  one-on-one   coaching.   The  Company  completed
development of this system and has marketed it to the public since May 1998.

The Company plans to refine its operating model and open additional  branches in
the future.  Additional  profitable  branches will allow the Company to allocate
administrative   costs  across  multiple   locations,   thereby   improving  the
utilization of its  infrastructure.  With the completion of the new  proprietary
job-search technology training system the Company has experienced a reduction in
client   cancellations   and  discounts   and  improved   collection  of  client
receivables.

On June 22, 1999, the Company formed MJS, an Internet subsidiary that aggregates
much of the job-search information on the Internet into one location for the job
seeker.  MJS also  provides  tools for the job seeker to enhance  the job search
process.

In  September  1999,  the  Company  formed a Real  Estate  Division  to  provide
operating capital by acquiring real property, generally undeveloped, in exchange
for  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock,  and  pledging  the  property  as
collateral  for loans  while  seeking to sell the  property to  developers  at a
profit.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to three months ended March 31, 1999.

Net service  revenues  decreased to $574,699 during the three months ended March
31,  2000,  compared  to $608,820  for the same  period in the prior  year.  The
decrease in service  revenue was  primarily a result of closing the Portland and
Seattle  branches  and the type of  contract  sold  during  the  quarter.  These
contracts  do not provide  guarantees  for the customer and as a result make the
service more  difficult to sell.  Also, the Company  requires  clients to attend
certain career training workshops before the client's contract is accepted. This
has resulted in  reductions  in both service  revenues  and  cancellations.  The
Company has also  tightened  its credit  policy with a focus on selling to those
customers with the ability to pay for the service.

Direct cost of services decreased to $133,843 during the quarter ended March 31,
2000, compared to $240,443 during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease
in direct cost of services is a result of lower sales and  improved  delivery of
the Company's products using a group setting as compared to one-on-one coaching.
The  Company  has also  focused on costs  associated  with the  delivery  of the
product to the client and reduced such costs where  possible.  Gross profit as a

                                       11
<PAGE>

percentage  of net service  revenues  was 77% during the first  quarter of 2000,
compared  to 61% during  the first  quarter of 1999.  The  improvement  in gross
profit as a percentage  of net service  revenues  was  primarily a result of the
delivery of the Company's new product in a group setting,  the target  reduction
of expenses where possible and the  reclassification  of certain  indirect costs
associated with advertising in 2000.

General and administrative expenses, which include selling expense, increased to
$1,765,541  during the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  2000,  compared to
$1,319,161 during the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in general
and  administrative  expense  is a direct  result  of a write off of bad debt on
contracts of approximately $242,500.

Interest  expense  increased to  $1,817,330  during the quarter  ended March 31,
2000,  compared  to  $673,797  during the same  quarter in the prior  year.  The
increase in interest  expense was a result of higher  outstanding debt balances,
increased  rates on funds  borrowed and certain costs  incurred  with  obtaining
financing.  See "Liquidity and Capital  Resources." The Company anticipates that
the  acquisition  of real estate to be used as collateral  for loans will reduce
the interest rates on its borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since its inception in
1996 and as of  March  31,  2000,  had an  accumulated  deficit  of  $25,624,494
compared to an  accumulated  deficit of  $21,678,710  at December 31, 1999.  The
accumulated  deficit reflects losses associated with the development and startup
of  operations  and  significant  costs for  research  and  development  for the
Company's  propriety  job-search   technology  and  training  system  and  costs
associated  with the  startup of the  Company's  Real  Estate  Division  and its
Internet  subsidiary.  The Company  has also  experienced  losses from  interest
expense associated with the large amount of debt the Company has incurred, which
carries high interest rates.

Once the branch model is perfected, this technology should enable the Company to
effectively  service a large  volume of  customers  in each office and provide a
model to expand operations into other locations.  During the three-month  period
ended March 31, 2000,  the Company  acquired a parcel of land primarily with its
common  stock.  Several  parcels  have  also  required  cash  down  payments  of
approximately 20% and the assumption of debt. During the quarter ended March 31,
2000,  the  Company  acquired  land  with an  estimated  value of  approximately
$135,000.  To purchase this land the Company  incurred  additional debt totaling
approximately  $62,000 in the form of cash down  payments,  debt  assumptions or
seller  financing,  and  issued  stock of the  Company  valued at  approximately
$73,800.  The Company  intends to use the acquired  land as collateral to secure
new favorable debt to replace the Company's existing  short-term,  high interest
rate debt.  During the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  the Company  acquired 19%
ownership of a small career training company in Seattle, Washington at a cost of
$18,000.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had a working  capital  deficit of  approximately
$20,835,134  compared to a deficit of  $16,523,034  at December 31,  1999.  This
working  capital  deficit  is a result of  funding  operating  losses  primarily
through  short-term  borrowings.   The  interest  rates  associated  with  these
short-term  borrowings are  significantly  higher than prime interest rates. The
Company believes that with its recent land  acquisitions,  it can  significantly
reduce  the short  term,  high  interest  rate debt  with more  favorable  lower
interest  rate debt.  Some of the land may also be sold to reduce the  Company's
total debt and fund future operations.

The Company filed a registration statement for an initial public offering of its
securities on October 6, 1998,  which was declared  effective by the  Securities
and Exchange  Commission  (SEC) on January 28, 1999. The offering was undertaken
by the Company on a best efforts no minimum basis,  without an underwriter.  The
proposed offering consisted of the offer and sale of 2,500,000 shares of class A
common stock at $5 per share,  and  $3,000,000 in 4-year term bonds.  During the
period  between  January  28,  1999  and  May  9,  1999,  the  Company  received

                                       12
<PAGE>

subscriptions  totaling  $3,211,930  for the sale of shares and  $12,000 for the
sale of bonds. These proceeds were initially  intended to retire debt,  however,
in May 1999, the Company  terminated the offering and offered  rescission to the
initial  investors.  By amendment  to the  registration  statement,  the Company
deregistered  all unsold  securities  originally  included in the  offering  and
contemporaneously terminated its offering in all states where it was registered.

Special Statement Concerning Forward-looking Statements

This Report,  in  particular  the  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis or of
Operation"  section,   contains   forward-looking   statements   concerning  the
expectations  and  anticipated  operating  results  of  the  Company.  All  such
forward-looking statements contained herein are intended to qualify for the safe
harbor  protection  provided by Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934, as amended.  The Company  cautions the reader that numerous factors govern
whether events  described by any  forward-looking  statement made by the Company
will  occur.  Any one of such  factors  could  cause  actual  results  to differ
materially from those projected by the  forward-looking  statements made in this
Report.  These  forward-looking  statements  include  plans  and  objectives  of
management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the
products and the future economic performance of the Company.

Assumptions  involve  judgments  with  respect to,  among other  things,  future
economic,  competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the
results of the clinical  trials and the time and money required to  successfully
complete  those  trials,  all of which are  difficult or  impossible  to predict
accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking  statements
in this Report are reasonable,  any of these assumptions could prove inaccurate.
Therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in any of the
forward-looking  statements  will be realized.  Budgeting  and other  management
decisions are subjective in many respects and are susceptible to interpretations
and periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments,  the
impact of which may cause the Company to alter its marketing capital expenditure
plans or other budgets. This will affect the Company's results of operations. In
light  of  the  significant   uncertainties   inherent  in  the  forward-looking
statements, any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the  objectives or plans of the Company will be
achieved.

In connection with the issuance of restricted stock described above, the Company

The acquirer of these shares  represented  and  warranted to the Company that it
was acquiring the shares for its own account and for  investment  and not with a
view to the public resale or distribution thereof. In addition, the acquirer was
advised that the securities issued in this transaction are restricted securities
and that there are significant restrictions on transferability of the securities
by reason of federal and state  securities  laws and that the acquirer could not
sell or otherwise  transfer the securities  except in accordance with applicable
securities laws.

The  acquirer of these  securities  was  provided  with  access to all  material
information  (and with the  opportunity  to ask questions  and receive  answers)
regarding  the  Company  and  the  securities,  and  represented  that it was an
accredited investor under Rule 501 of Regulation D or that it had such knowledge
and  experience  in  financial  and  business  matters  that  it is  capable  of
evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition and holding of the securities
issued in this transaction.

A legend was  placed on all  certificates  and  instruments  representing  these
securities  stating  that  the  securities  evidenced  by such  certificates  or
instruments  have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth
the restrictions on their transfer and sale. No underwriter was involved in this
