INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Boards of Directors of
The Continuous Learning Group, Inc.,
Envision Development Group, Inc.,
and Multi Dimensional International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of The Continuous
Learning Group, Inc., Envision Development Group, Inc., and Multi
Dimensional International, Inc. (the Companies) as of December 31, 1997,
and the related combined statements of income, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the
Companies as of December 31, 1997, and the results of their combined
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

ENVISION DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC., AND
MULTI DIMENSIONAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 1997
================================================================================
(1) BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) BUSINESS ACTIVITY
The Companies consist of three individual entities: The Continuous
Learning Group, Inc. (CLG), a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1994;
Envision Development Group, Inc. (EDG), a Delaware corporation
incorporated in 1994; and Multi Dimensional International, Inc. (MDI), a
Florida corporation incorporated in 1988. The entities have common
ownership. Thus, the combined financial statements are being presented
herein. CLG employs consultants (employees and subcontractors) who
provide management training to large corporations; CLG's owners/officers
are also significantly involved with the delivery of its services. EDG
provides production and administrative support services to CLG and
unrelated third parties; EDG employs full-time personnel. MDI employs
consultants (subcontractors) who provide performance consulting and
training to corporations. Business activities are contingent upon
contract awards from customers. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in combination.
(B) ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Companies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles with significant policies described as follows:
- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Management believes all accounts
receivable are current and collectible. Therefore, the Companies
have not included a provision for uncollectible accounts. Any
accounts deemed to be uncollectible will be charged to expense
when that determination is made. The Companies grant credit to
their customers.
- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at
cost or, in the case of equipment under capitalized leases, the
present value of future lease payments. Depreciation is provided
over estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years
using the straight-line method. Expenditures for maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred.
- REVENUE - Revenue is recognized as services are performed.
(C) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management of the Companies to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
(2) INCOME TAXES
The stockholders of the Companies have elected to file under Subchapter
S for state and federal income tax purposes. No provision for income
taxes has been reflected in the combined financial statements as the
taxable income or loss is reflected on the individual income tax returns
of the stockholders.

========================================================================
</TABLE>
Total rent expense amounted to $277,609 in 1997.
(4) LINES OF CREDIT
CLG and EDG maintain lines of credit with One Valley Bank. At December
31, 1997 the amount of available funds was $850,000 for CLG and $350,000
for EDG, both at a rate of prime plus 1/2 percent. The combined average
balance outstanding on these lines of credit was approximately $95,000
in 1997. The maximum outstanding on these lines of credit was $200,000
in 1997. These lines of credit are secured by personal guarantees by two
of the stockholders. No amounts were drawn on these lines of credit at
December 31, 1997.
(5) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
During 1997, revenue from three major customers amounted to
approximately 84 percent of revenues. Accounts receivable related to
these major customers were approximately $1,500,000 at December 31,
1997.
The Companies' future operations are dependent on the continuing need
for future training services by its key customers or obtaining new
customers. In addition, one of the owners/officers is significantly
involved with the delivery of services to one of the major customers.
(6) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Companies provide defined contribution profit sharing plans for
substantially all of their employees. Contributions are discretionary.
There were no expenses related to this plan during 1997.

(7) MANAGEMENT INCENTIVES AND BONUS PLANS

customer and is included in revenue and expense, resulting in
approximately $200,000 of gross profit.

The Companies are not involved in any litigation and are not aware of
any suits not yet filed.
(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
