ITEM 5.    OTHER EVENTS

         On December 8, 2000, the registrant  closed its acquisition of Columbus
         Networks  Corporation,  a privately-held  British Columbia  corporation
         ("Columbus"), pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement dated
         October 30, 2000 (the "Share  Exchange  Agreement").  Columbus is now a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant.

         In connection with the acquisition,  the registrant  effected a 1-for-4
         reverse  stock  split of its  outstanding  shares of  common  stock and
         changed its name to Columbus Networks Corporation. The registrant's new
         CUSIP number is 199463 10 0 and its new trading symbol is CLMK.

         The registrant has issued 14,955,475 (post-reverse split) shares of its
         common stock to the shareholders of Columbus.  There are now 20,859,250
         shares of common stock of the registrant issued and outstanding.

         The  registrant's  management  now consists of designees from Columbus,
         with the exception of Mr. Watts:

         Roger Watts               -        Chairman of the Board of Directors
         Dan Collins               -        President and CEO and Director
         Scott McLean              -        Vice President and CFO and Director
         Greg Shannon              -        Corporate Secretary and Director
         Mervyn Weiss              -        Director
         Vern Berg                 -        Director

         Effective  December 11, 2000,  the executive  offices of the registrant
         will be located at the  facilities  of  Columbus  in  Kelowna,  British
         Columbia.

         Columbus provides  sector-specific  electronic  recruitment services to
         educators,  school  districts,  universities  and  private  educational
         employers  in the  education  systems  of  Canada  and  United  States.
         Services  include on-line resume services,  job postings,  a bookstore,
         electronic  application  forms as well as other  related  services that
         meet the needs of the client.  Columbus  intends to expand the scope of
         services within their education networks by adding unique entry portals
         for students, teachers and employers. These portals will be distinctive
         storefronts to other resources, services and features that will benefit
         both the employer and educators.  Columbus also operates the Global ESL
         Network that provides  recruitment services to ESL (English as a Second
         Language) institutes around the world.

1.     NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

       The company was  incorporated  under the laws of the  Province of British
       Columbia on March 3, 1999 and began  operations on December 1, 1999.  The
       major  activity  of the  company  is  developing  electronic  recruitment
       websites   including   educationcanada.com,    educationamerica.net   and
       globalesl.net.

2.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       (a) Basis of presentation:

           In accordance  with the rules and  regulations  of the Securities and
           Exchange Commission,  a predecessor entity's financial statements are
           required  to  be  presented  in  specified  U.S.   Securities  filing
           documents.  Accordingly,  the amounts  presented for the three months
           ended  September 30, 1999 in the  statements  of operations  and cash
           flows  are  those  of  a  predecessor   partnership.   The  financial
           information  presented  as at  September  30,  2000 and for the three
           months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 and for the period  from
           inception  (March  3,  1999)  to  September  30,  2000 is  unaudited,
           however,  in the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting
           solely of normal recurring items) necessary for the fair presentation
           of these unaudited  amounts in conformity with accounting  principles
           generally accepted in the United States have been made.

       (b) Translation of financial statements:

           The company operates in Canada and its operations,  and therefore its
           functional currency, are conducted in Canadian currency.

           These  financial  statements  have been translated into United States
           dollars. The method of translation applied is as follows:

           i)   Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in
                effect at the  balance  sheet  date,  being U.S.  $1.00 per Cdn.
                $1.4862 (June 30, 2000, US $1.00 per CDN $1.4806).

           ii)  Revenue and expenses  are  translated  at the  exchange  rate in
                effect at the transaction date.

           iii) The net adjustment arising from the translation is recorded in a
                separate  component of stockholders'  equity called  "cumulative
                translation  adjustment"  which is included in the  "accumulated
                other comprehensive income."

3.     RECEIVABLE FROM DIRECTORS:

       The receivable from directors does not bear interest, is unsecured and is
       demand in nature.

4.     ISSUANCES OF CAPITAL STOCK:

       (a) During the three months ended  September 30, 2000 the Company  issued
           100,000  Class A common  shares in exchange  for the  ownership  of a
           website and  associated  domain  names.  The fair value of the shares
           issued,  aggregating  $16,821,  approximated  the  fair  value of the
           assets acquired.

       (b) During the three months ended  September 30, 2000 the Company  issued
           10,000  Class A common  shares  for  stock  subscriptions  of  $1,689
           received prior to June 30, 2000.

       (c) During the three months ended  September 30, 2000 the Company  issued
           543,800 Class A common shares for aggregate cash proceeds of $91,468.

5.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

       (a) Effective  November  30,  2000 the  Company  signed a share  exchange
           agreement with Golden River  Resources  Inc.  ("Golden  River"),  the
           shares of which are listed and posted for  trading on the  facilities
           of the  over-the-counter  bulletin board market in the United States.
           The  agreement  contemplates  that  all  of the  shareholders  of the
           Company will  exchange  their common  shares for  approximately  70%,
           prior  to the  issuance  of  2,097,232  Class  A  common  shares  for
           brokerage fees and common shares sold in a recent  private  placement
           by Golden River, of the common shares of Golden River.  The shares of
           Golden  River  received  by the  shareholders  of the  Company may be
           subject to escrow.  The  transaction,  if completed as  contemplated,
           will be accounted for by the purchase  method as a reverse  take-over
           with the  Company  identified  as the  acquirer  which is  deemed  to
           acquire Golden River.

           Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company issued  2,097,232 Class
           A common shares for brokerage fees related to the share exchange with
           Golden River  described  above.  The fair value of the shares issued,
           aggregating  $352,784,  approximated  the fair value of the brokerage
           services received.

       (b) On October 10, 2000 the Company  issued 300,000 Class A common shares
           for services to be  performed.  The fair value of the shares  issued,
           aggregating  $50,464,  approximates the fair value of the services to
           be received.

       (c) Subsequent  to September  30, 2000 the Company  issued 24,000 Class A
           common shares for aggregate cash proceeds of $4,037.
