          accordance  with the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and

              Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       Significant Accounting Policies

         The  accounting  policies  followed by the Company are set forth in the
         notes  to the  Company's  financial  statements  included  in its  Form
         10-KSB,  for the year ended December 3l, 1999, which was filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Certain amounts have been reclassified in the financial  statements for
         the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 to conform to
         the  presentation  of the three and nine month periods ended  September
         30, 2000. In addition,  the financial  statements have been restated to
         reflect the  discontinued  operations  of the periods  presented and to
         reclassify the assets and liabilities related thereto (see Note 4).

2.       Income (Loss) Per Share

         Basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted  average  number
         of common shares  outstanding.  Employee  stock options did not have an
         effect on the computation of diluted earnings per share since they were
         anti-dilutive.

3.       Excess of Liabilities over Assets of Discontinued Operations

         In  August  2000,  the  Company   discontinued   its  merchant  banking
         operations,  which  consisted  of its real estate  project with Carmike
         Cinemas,  Inc., and its financial consulting  operations.  Accordingly,
         the Company's  remaining  operations  are solely from its  e-recruiting
         segment.

         The Company will recognize a gain in an amount  approximately  equal to
         Excess  of   Liabilities   over  Assets  of   Discontinued   Operations
         ($3,361,269   at  September  30,  2000)  when  title  relating  to  six
         properties  leased to Carmike is transferred  pursuant to the direction
         of Wachovia,  N. A., as agent to the holders of the  non-recourse  debt
         under the Reimbursement  Agreement referred to below.  However,  due to
         various proceedings  relating to Carmike's petition under Chapter 11 of
         the United States  Bankruptcy Code, no such transfer,  as yet, has been
         made. The Company's exposure related to this real estate project is and
         always has been  limited  solely to the  Company's  interest in the six
         properties.

4.       Discontinued Operations

         In 1997, the Company  entered into a triple net, credit type lease with
         Carmike, pursuant to which the Company leased to Carmike six parcels of
         land and the  improvements  thereon.  Concurrently,  the Company issued
         $72,750,000  principal amount of its adjustable rate tender  securities
         due  November  1,  2015  (the  "Bonds").  The  Bonds  were  secured  by
         irrevocable letters of credit issued by a group of banks. In connection
         therewith  the Company  entered  into a  Reimbursement  Agreement  with
         Wachovia, as agent for the banks, under which the Company was obligated
         to remit all rent received under the lease to Wachovia to reimburse the
         banks for the Bond payments made by draws on their letters of credit.

         On August 8, 2000,  Carmike  filed a petition  under  Chapter 11 of the
         United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result of that filing and Carmike's
         subsequent  failure to pay rent to date under the  lease,  the  Company
         failed to make required  payments to Wachovia  under the  Reimbursement
         Agreement.   Accordingly,   Wachovia   declared  a  default  under  the
         Reimbursement  Agreement and accelerated all amounts due by the Company
         thereunder.  Wachovia  also  directed  the  Trustee  under the  related
         Indenture to redeem the Bonds.  Such amounts were paid entirely through
         draws on the related  letters of credit and were not paid with funds of
         the  Company.  However,  as the Bonds are no  longer  outstanding,  all
         unamortized  financing costs  (amounting to $804,667)  relating thereto
         were expensed.  In addition,  Carmike has not disaffirmed the lease and
         continues to occupy the six theaters.

         The financial statements have been restated to reflect the discontinued
         operations of the periods  presented  and to reclassify  the assets and
         liabilities related thereto.

         Excess  of  Liabilities  over  Assets  of  Discontinued  Operations  at
         September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 consists of the following:

         operations,  which  consisted  of its real estate  project with Carmike

         B.       Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  Management of the Company  believes that funds  generated from

                  it with  sufficient  resources to meet present and  reasonably
                  foreseeable  future  capital  needs.  These  available  assets
                  consist primarily of cash, and investments,  which are readily
                  convertible into cash.

                  The  Company  invests  excess  funds  in  liquid,   short-term
                  financial  instruments  in order to maximize  its current cash
                  return  with  minimum  interest  rate risk.  Such  investments
                  include U.S.  Government  and municipal  obligations,  futures
                  contracts and money market funds.

                  While the Company believes that currently available funds will
                  provide it with  sufficient  resources to meet all present and
                  reasonably  foreseeable  future operational and capital needs,
                  the Company  continues to actively seek external  financing in
                  order  to  fund  the  projected  expanded  operations  of  its
                  e-recruiting activities.

                  The  transaction  relating to the Company's six movie theaters
                  and  Carmike  Cinema,  Inc.  is and  always has been cash flow
                  neutral  (rent  is  equal  to  interest   expense,   principal
                  amortization   and  other   related   expenses  that  are  the
                  responsibility of the Company). Carmike's filing of a petition
                  under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code has not
                  changed this financial  relationship as the Company's exposure

         "Company")  within the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation
         Reform  Act of  1995.  All  statements  regarding  future  events,  our
         financial  performance and operating results, our business strategy and
         our financing plans are forward-looking  statements.  In some cases you

         uncertainties  and other factors  could cause actual  results to differ
         materially from those  contemplated  by the  statements.  In evaluating
         these statements, you should specifically consider various factors that
         may  cause  our   actual   results  to  differ   materially   from  any
         forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to
         differ from the forward-looking  statements include,  among others, the
         following:  general economic and business conditions;  competition; the
         success of operating  initiatives  relating to the Company's technology
         related  subsidiary and the Company's  financial  consulting  services;
