     Certain statements contained in this report regarding matters that are not
historical facts, such as anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
technological developments, new products, the sales and marketing program of
Eagle River Interactive, Inc. (which, together with its subsidiaries is referred
to as the "Company") and similar matters, may be deemed to be "forward-looking"
statements. A variety of factors may cause the Company's actual results and
experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. These
factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described
under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Future Results."

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

     The Company is a business services company that provides corporate training
products for information technology (IT) professionals, and creates and develops
interactive marketing, training, and communications solutions. The Company
provides both product and custom solutions. Mastering Computers, Inc.
("Mastering Computers"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, develops and
markets product solutions. These product solutions consist of corporate training
primarily for IT professionals, including leader-led Windows NT, Windows 95 and
TCP/IP operating system training seminars as well as Microsoft Certified
Professional preparation courses and on-site workshops, computer-based training
media, interactive software, videos and newsletters. Custom solutions are
developed by the Company under 3 to 9 month contracts and are delivered using
the Internet and World Wide Web, proprietary intranets, informational and
transactional kiosks, CD-ROMs, and other interactive medium. The Company also
sells traditional outdoor media advertising at ski resorts in the United States
through its SkiView subsidiary.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company completed three
business combinations, two in the custom solutions area and one in the product
solutions area.

     In June 1996, the Company completed a merger with Graphic Media, Inc.
("GM"). Pursuant to the merger, all outstanding GM shares were converted into
550,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Prior to the conversion, a
dissenting GM shareholder was paid approximately $352,000 as consideration for
her approximate 3% interest in GM. In connection with the merger, the Company
assumed and exchanged all options to purchase GM Common Stock for options to
purchase 141,041 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The merger was accounted
for as a pooling of interests.

     In August 1996, the Company completed a merger with Mastering Computers.
Pursuant to the merger, all outstanding Mastering Computers shares were
converted into 1,175,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company also
assumed and exchanged all options to purchase Mastering Computers Common Stock
for options to purchase 191,280 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The merger
was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Mastering Computers develops and
markets the Company's corporate training products, including leader-led seminars
and computer-based training.

     In November 1996, SRC Localisation ("SRC"), a 99% owned subsidiary of the
Company located in Paris, France, bought the assets of Groupe SRC in a cash
transaction for approximately $242,000. The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase. SRC specializes in multimedia localization and is part of the European
Localisation Group, an alliance of localization companies with offices located
in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy. Localization involves
the translation of a product for a given country or culture. Localization
services include adaptation, artistic and technical modifications, testing and
product marketing. SRC is the Company's Paris office.

SERVICES AND PRODUCTS

     The Company has three revenue sources -- Product Solutions, Custom
Solutions and Outdoor Media Advertising. See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
<PAGE>   4

  Product Solutions

     Mastering Computers, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, develops and
markets corporate training product solutions primarily for IT professionals,
including leader-led Windows NT, Windows 95 and TCP/IP operating system training
seminars as well as Microsoft Certified Professional preparation courses and
on-site workshops, computer-based training media, interactive software, videos
and newsletters. The Company's training products are grouped into two main
product lines: leader-led training and computer-based training.

  Leader-led Training

     The Company develops and markets leader-led seminars, primarily for
Microsoft operating systems, for IT professionals. The Company offers one-day
and two-day operating system training seminars as well as four-day Microsoft
Certified Professional preparation courses and on-site workshops, which it hosts
in cities across the United States. There is no fixed overhead associated with
the seminars, which are held in rented facilities. Depending on the city and the
course, seminars can be attended by over 1,500 IT professionals. The seminar
products are standardized, with the same courses being offered nationally.

     Seminars are taught by instructors who are employees of the Company. When
not engaged in teaching a seminar, instructors spend their time developing the
course curriculum. Mastering Computers is a Microsoft Solutions Provider, which
gives the Company early access to alpha and beta versions of selected new and
updated Microsoft software. Course content and the seminars themselves continue
to evolve due to system software upgrades and enhancements and the introduction
to new software, giving Mastering Computers a recurring revenue stream as IT
professionals continue to take courses to stay updated on the technology they
support.

  Computer-based Training

     The Company is currently converting the content of Mastering Computers'
leader-led courses into interactive computer-based training (CBT) titles in
CD-ROM format which it intends to sell as a complement to the leader-led courses
and as stand-alone products.

     On December 30, 1996, the Company signed a licensing agreement with NETG, a
division of National Education Group, to license NETG's CBT development engine
and over 100 of that company's existing CBT titles which cover a broad range of
information technologies. The agreement also gave the Company license to an
additional 300 titles NETG expects to introduce in the eighteen months following
the signing of the agreement. The Company expects to add content and enhance the
user interface of the licensed titles. The titles will be private-labeled under
the "Mastering Computers" brand name. Sales of titles began in the first quarter
of 1997.

     The Company refunds a certain percentage of seminar fees due to
cancellations. In the past, the Company has been able to retain a certain
percentage of refunds by offering a series of video tapes in lieu of a refund
for the unattended seminar. The Company expects to increase the percentage of
refunds saved by offering CBT titles in addition to video tape. In addition, the
Company is entering into license agreements with customers by utilizing a
library rental strategy; these agreements provide customers access to the
Company's CBT library of titles for one, two or three years. This approach
offers customers flexible training solutions as well as the ability to tailor
its IT training to its specific needs.

  Custom Solutions

     The Company develops interactive marketing, training, and communications
solutions for Fortune 1000 companies. Custom solutions are delivered using the
Internet and World Wide Web, proprietary intranets, informational and
transactional kiosks, CD-ROMs, and other interactive media.

     With the proliferation of multimedia PCs, the adoption of high bandwidth
computer networks and the commercialization of the Internet, companies are using
interactive media such as the World Wide Web,

                                        2
<PAGE>   5

proprietary intranets, information and transaction kiosks, CD-ROMs and
proprietary online services to achieve specific business goals.

     Companies are currently trying to measure the opportunity and determine a
return on investment from the use of new interactive media. The area of
electronic commerce alone, with its opportunities to increase distribution while
decreasing costs, offers companies incentive to explore an interactive channel
of distribution. Given that companies are aware of the opportunity the use of
new media may offer but unsure of how to use digital media and emerging
technologies effectively, the strategic ability to blend a creative marketing
and design approach with an effective use of technology has become critical to
the Company's success.

     The Company offers a full range of services to support customers' new
interactive media initiatives. Professional services include consulting
services, the custom development of interactive solutions using either a
Web-based or disc-based medium, operation and maintenance of the interactive
solution, and the outsourcing of customers' new media activities to the Company.

     Custom interactive development requires a combination of strategic,
creative and technical skills. The Company believes that companies competing to
develop custom interactive solutions generally are strong in only two of three
areas. Advertising agencies and design shops that provide custom interactive
development are typically strong in creative resources, have some strategic
capabilities and are relatively weak in their deployment of technology. In
contrast, system integrators which are also competing in this market space offer
strengths in strategic analysis and technology know-how. However, system
integrators find it difficult to cultivate creative resources within their more
structured environments.

     A majority of the Company's interactive marketing services have been billed
on a fixed-fee basis based on the customer's defined scope of work. Unless the
scope of work changes, billings will equal the fixed-fee budget. Because the
Company's projects generally are completed in a relatively short period of time,
the Company has not experienced significant backlog. For an increasing number of
projects, the Company bills on a time-and-materials basis pursuant to which the
Company is paid for hours of service (based on standard billing rates) and
outside costs with a mark up. Project budget guidelines and "not to exceed"
parameters are agreed upon in advance of beginning work. In addition, the
Company occasionally enters into retainer fee arrangements with customers
pursuant to which the Company and the customer define the scope of work on an
annual basis and establish staffing and costs based on an estimate of the scope
of work. This type of agreement generally results in equal monthly fees.

     By focusing solely on the development of interactive solutions, the Company
generally avoids category exclusivity and the exclusive relationships that
constrain advertising agencies and integrated marketing communications firms.
The Company's ability to work with multiple competing customers within the same
industry allows the Company to aggressively target prospective customers in
vertical markets more effectively.

  Outdoor Media

     The Company's SkiView subsidiary is a media network offering outdoor
advertising at approximately 125 ski resorts in the United States. The SkiView
network includes lift towers, skier transit systems, information centers, bar
boards and time and message centers. In addition to offering outdoor
advertising, the Company works with its customers to develop customized
promotions and events. In 1996, approximately 10% of the Company's revenue was
generated by SkiView. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- General."

CLIENTS

     In 1996, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenue.
The five largest customers, in total, accounted for 11% of the Company's 1996
revenue.

  Product Solutions

     Mastering Computers has provided services for numerous Fortune 500 and
other small and mid-size businesses, universities, and the U.S. government.
During 1996, Mastering Computers trained approximately

                                        3

70,000 people. In 1996, the top fifteen organizations with the most IT

SALES AND MARKETING

  Product Solutions

     At the end of 1996, Mastering Computers employed 177 people which were
engaged in sales related activities, up from 66 at the beginning of the year.
Mastering Computers' salesforce sells all of the Company's

                                        4
<PAGE>   7

training products and is also used to identify sales leads for the Company's
custom solutions to Fortune 1000 prospects.

     The Mastering Computers sales effort is aided by a database of information
related to over 1.1 million IT professionals. In 1996, the salesforce called
over 4 million IT professionals.

     The advance selling of seminars gives the Company visibility on potential
revenue. In addition, advance selling allows the Company to perform market
research and allows the salesforce to test new products and to gauge customer
demands prior to actual product introduction.

  Custom Solutions

     The Company's sales and marketing efforts for custom solutions are
organized into new business development and account management functions. The
Company develops new business opportunities through a dedicated sales force
which identifies potential customers and pursues interactive marketing
assignments with these customers. The Company believes that a systematic
proactive selling approach conducted through its dedicated sales force
distinguishes it from the traditional advertising agency approach and from many
of its competitors.

     The Company uses telesales resources from its subsidiary, Mastering
Computers, to qualify new business leads. Once qualified interest is established
by telesales, a sales executive pursues the business development process with
the prospective customer.

     The Company, at times, partners with a system integrator to design and
develop an interactive business solution. The Company may pursue business
jointly with a partner, subcontract a percentage of a project to such a partner,
or be contracted itself by a partner. The Company is continuing to develop
system integration skills in house.

     Once the Company is engaged in a project, the Company's account management
staff seeks to ensure that the customer's needs are met and high quality
products are delivered on time and on budget. The account management staff also
identifies and pursues opportunities with existing clients for additional
projects.

     The Company seeks to develop extensive knowledge of individual industries
that lend themselves to interactive business solutions and, consistent with its
contractual obligations, apply this knowledge to provide its services to various
customers within those industries. The Company believes that this strategy
differs from those of many of the Company's competitors who are seeking "agency
of record" relationships that generally mandate an exclusive relationship within
a customer's industry.

     In the course of developing customized solutions for certain customers, the
Company may gain technical know-how that can generally be retained and applied
in other development efforts. This knowledge is recorded and preserved by the
Company in order to facilitate access by the entire production staff,
potentially reducing future development costs.

COMPETITION

  Product Solutions

     The long duration, inflexible structure, and high cost of traditional
post-secondary education does not effectively address the growing need to
quickly educate IT professionals. In response, a large number of IT training
programs are now offered by hardware/software vendors, systems integrators,
internal training departments, technology/vocational schools, and independent
trainers. Although the market remains fragmented, barriers to entry are becoming
evident, particularly in computer-based training where proprietary technologies
and specialized knowledge are critical in CBT title development.

  Custom Solutions

     The interactive marketing industry is in the early stages of development.
The Company faces competition from a number of sources, no one of which the
Company believes is dominant, including small multimedia

                                        5
<PAGE>   8

firms, advertising agencies, direct and integrated marketing communication firms
and media production companies having internal technological expertise in the
design and implementation of interactive marketing products.

     The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the
interactive marketing category are the ability to understand the customer's
business and develop strategically sound interactive solutions, communicate
solutions in layman's terms, demonstrate breadth and depth of technical
expertise, present unique creative concepts, develop strong customer
relationships and produce high quality products. The Company believes that it
competes favorably with respect to each of these factors.

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had a total of 463 employees,
including 230 engaged in product solutions activities, 168 engaged in custom
solutions and related support activities, 49 engaged in administrative related
activities and 16 engaged in SkiView operations.

     Of the 230 product solution employees, 177 were engaged in sales
activities, 34 were engaged in operations related activities, 7 were engaged in
support related activities and 12 in CBT related activities. Of the 168 custom
solutions employees, 120 were engaged in delivery of interactive custom
solutions, 36 were engaged in sales and account service activities and 12 were
engaged in support related activities.

     The Company expects hiring in 1997 to continue in connection with its
continued expansion of its businesses. The Company believes that its future
success will depend in large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly
skilled creative, technical, and strategic sales and marketing personnel and
instructors for its product solutions. Competition for such personnel is
intense. The Company provides stock options to attract and retain such
personnel.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     The Company's executive offices are located in Avon, Colorado and occupy
approximately 8,400 square feet. The Company leases these facilities under a
lease that expires in February 1998. In addition, the Company leases an
aggregate of 71,443 square feet in the following locations: Chicago, Illinois;
Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, California; Mountain View, California; New York, New

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

  Overview

     The Company is a business services company that provides corporate training
products for IT professionals and creates and develops interactive marketing,
training, and communications solutions. The Company develops both product and
custom solutions. Mastering Computers, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
develops and markets product solutions. These solutions consist of corporate
training primarily for IT professionals, including leader-led Windows NT,
Windows 95 and TCP/IP operating system training seminars as well as Microsoft
Certified Professional preparation courses and on-site workshops, computer-based
training media, interactive software, videos and newsletters. Custom solutions
are delivered using the Internet and World Wide Web, proprietary intranets,
informational and transactional kiosks, CD-ROMs, and other interactive medium.
The Company also sells traditional outdoor media advertising at ski resorts in
the United States through its SkiView subsidiary. See "Business".

  Mergers

     In June 1996, the Company completed a merger with GM. Pursuant to the
merger, all outstanding GM shares were converted into 550,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The Company also assumed and exchanged all options to
purchase GM Common Stock for options to purchase 141,041 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.

                                        9
<PAGE>   12

     Prior to the conversion, a dissenting GM Shareholder was paid approximately
$352,000 as consideration for her approximate 3% interest in GM. The merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly the Company's
historical consolidated financial information has been restated as though ERI
and GM had been combined from inception.

     In August 1996, the Company completed a merger with Mastering Computers.
Pursuant to the merger, all outstanding Mastering Computers shares were
exchanged for 1,175,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company also
assumed and exchanged all options to purchase Mastering Computers Common Stock
for options to purchase 191,280 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The merger
was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly the Company's
historical consolidated financial information has been restated as though ERI
and Mastering Computers had been combined from inception.

  Acquisitions

     In November 1996, SRC Localisation ("SRC"), a 99% owned subsidiary of the
Company, located in Paris, France, bought the assets of Groupe SRC in a cash
transaction for approximately $242,000. The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase. SRC specializes in multimedia localization and is the head of the
European Localisation Group, an alliance of localization companies with offices
located in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy. SRC is the
Company's Paris office and the base for its international division.

  General

     The Company has three revenue sources -- product solutions, custom
solutions and outdoor media advertising.

     The Company generates revenue from sales of products, which consist
primarily of Windows NT, Windows 95 and TCP/IP operating systems training
seminars as well as Microsoft Certified Professional preparation courses and
on-site workshops, computer-based training media, interactive software and
videos and newsletters. Product solution revenue from seminars is generally
collected in advance and is recognized upon commencement of the seminar.
Subscription revenues are deferred and recognized over the term of the related
subscription, while other product revenue is recognized when the products are
shipped.

     The Company generates revenue from custom solution services, which have
historically been provided primarily through fixed-fee contracts. The Company
anticipates an increasing number of contracts to be billed on a
time-and-materials basis during 1997. The Company's custom solution customers
generally retain the Company on a project-by-project basis. The Company has no
material contract that commits any customer to use the Company's services on a
long-term basis. Custom solution service contracts are generally completed
within three to nine months. Custom solution revenue is recognized using the
percentage of completion method on an individual contract basis. Percentage
complete is determined based upon the ratio of costs (primarily direct labor)
incurred to total estimated costs. The Company's use of the percentage of
completion method of revenue recognition requires estimates of the degree of
project completion. To the extent these estimates prove to be inaccurate, the
revenues and gross profits, if any, reported for periods during which work on
the project is ongoing may not accurately reflect the final results of the
project, which can only be determined upon project completion. Provisions for
any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which
such losses are determinable.

     The Company sells outdoor media at ski areas to advertisers for a specific
period of time, generally November through March, which approximates the ski
season. The Company recognizes this revenue ratably over that period. In some
cases, the Company produces the advertising content in addition to selling the
media to its customers. In such cases, the production revenue is recognized when
the production work is completed. In addition, the Company provides promotional
services related to events sponsored by various advertisers throughout the ski
season. Promotion revenue is recognized as the events are held, primarily in
January through March.

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

     Costs related to product solutions consist primarily of labor and related
benefits for speakers and seminar personnel, rental of seminar facilities and
the cost of materials provided to seminar participants, some of which is
deferred until seminar commencement. Costs related to custom solution services
consist primarily of labor and occupancy expenses for creative design, account
management and sales personnel. Costs related to the Company's outdoor media
sales include primarily sales and operating expenses, sign installation and
maintenance costs (which are recognized as incurred on an accrual basis) and
tower and transit rental costs (which are recognized ratably over the November
to March ski season to coincide with the period over which related revenue is
recognized). Failure to expand any of the foregoing areas in an efficient manner
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
Company's revenues will continue to grow at a rate that will support its
increasing expense levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    1996.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

  Revenue

     Revenue for 1995 was approximately $20.8 million, which consisted of
approximately $10.2 million of product solutions revenue, approximately $6.7
million of custom solutions revenue and approximately $3.9 million of outdoor
media advertising. Revenue for fiscal 1996 was approximately $39.3 million, or
an 88.9% increase over 1995. 1996 revenue consisted of approximately $21.0
million of product solution revenue, approximately $14.4 million of custom
solution revenue and approximately $3.9 million of outdoor media advertising.
The growth in product solutions revenue from 1995 to 1996 was a result of the
increase in the number and types of seminars provided, the average number of
attendees per seminar and the average price charged for the seminars. The growth
in custom solution revenue from 1995 to 1996 was a result of the increase in the
number of projects from both new and existing customers. The growth in revenue
is also the result of the Company's substantial investments in labor force,
operating infrastructure, equipment and marketing made in the last quarter of
1995 and the first, second and third quarters of 1996.

                                       11

  Cost of Revenue

     The Company's cost of revenue for 1995 was approximately $11.6 million,
which consisted of approximately $3.3 million related to product solutions,
approximately $5.3 million related to custom solution services and approximately
$3.0 million of outdoor media advertising. The Company's cost of revenue for
1996 was approximately $21.0 million, which consisted of approximately $4.8
million related to product solutions, approximately $13.8 million related to
custom solution services and approximately $2.4 million of outdoor media
advertising.

     During 1995, the Company was developing its business. During 1996, costs
increased in all areas of the product and custom solution segments, particularly
in labor and related benefits and occupancy costs. The Company has made
substantial investments in its labor force and operating infrastructure and
anticipates increased capacity and production in future periods through higher
utilization of its labor force, some of which has already been realized by the
Company. Total employees of the Company increased from 191 at the end of 1995 to
463 at the end of 1996.

  Marketing and Selling

     Marketing and selling costs are primarily comprised of salaries,
commissions and benefits, travel and marketing program costs. Marketing and
selling expenses of approximately $5.3 million for 1995 were primarily related
to the continued development of the Company. For 1996 marketing and selling
expenses were approximately $12.4 million. The increase from 1995 to 1996 was
primarily due to the continued growth of the Company's business and the
corresponding increase in personnel.

  General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses include costs for the accounting,
legal, information systems and human resource functions, as well as costs
related to some senior executives of the Company. These costs are primarily
comprised of salaries and benefits, travel and occupancy costs. General and
administrative expenses of approximately $4.8 million during fiscal 1995 were
primarily related to the continued early development of the Company. For 1996
general and administrative expenses were approximately $10.6 million, which
includes approximately $2.2 million of transaction costs related to the
Mastering Computers and GM mergers and related organizational realignment
following the mergers. The merger expenses primarily consist of consulting,
outside legal and accounting costs. The increase in general and administrative
expense from 1995 to 1996 was primarily due to mergers and related
organizational realignment and the growth of the Company's business and the
corresponding increase in the number of executive and administrative personnel
and the number of offices. The Company anticipates that increases in general and
administrative expenses will be less dramatic in 1997. In addition, these costs,
as a percentage of revenue, should decrease as the administrative infrastructure
was substantially in place at the end of 1996 to meet anticipated growth in
operations.

  Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1.1 million during
1995 consisted of approximately $0.6 million of depreciation of equipment and
approximately $0.5 million of amortization of organization costs and goodwill
related to acquisitions. For 1996, depreciation and amortization expense of
approximately $2.1 million consisted of approximately $1.7 million of
depreciation and approximately $0.4 million of amortization. The increase in
depreciation expense reflects the significant investment the Company has made in
its computer equipment, leasehold improvements and office equipment over the
past year.

  Other Income (Expense)

     Interest income and expense are included in other income (expense). Other
expense of approximately $0.6 million for 1995 primarily represents interest
expense. Other income of approximately $1.6 million for 1996 primarily
represents interest income which resulted from investing the proceeds from the
initial public offering.

                                       12

  Income Taxes

     The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $2.3 million.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109, management of the Company
determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset
resulting primarily from the Company's net operating losses will be realized
through future taxable income generated by the Company.

     The Company bases its determination on the significant growth that has
occurred in its business during 1996. The Company's revenue increased from $20.8
million in 1995 to $39.3 million in 1996, representing an 89% increase in
revenue. In 1995 and the first half of 1996, the Company incurred significant
losses due to expenditures related to developing and expanding capacity for the
delivery of its custom and product solutions and services. The Company realized,
as a result of such expenditures, positive operating results for the fourth
quarter of 1996, which generated taxable income for that quarter. Further, the
Company's management continues to believe that the increases in margins achieved
by its outdoor media business in future periods will be substantially larger
than those achieved in 1995 and similar to those achieved in 1996. Based on the
above operating results and management's expectations relating to its current
business model and forecasts, it is management's belief that it is more likely
than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized through the generation
of future taxable income.

     Historically, the Company's net loss before taxes has approximated its
taxable loss. The Company's deferred income taxes result primarily from net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), the use of accelerated depreciation
methods for income tax purposes, amortization differences, certain intangible
assets, and certain amounts accrued for book purposes which are not deductible
for income tax purposes until paid. The Company has tax NOLs totaling $4.5
million, which expire as follows: 2010 -- $0.6 million and 2011 -- $3.9 million.

     Management believes that taxable income during the carryforward period will
be sufficient to utilize fully the NOLs before they expire. Management
anticipates that increases in taxable income during the carryforward period will
arise primarily as a result of the Company's continued growth in its custom and
product solutions services and operating efficiencies which may be gained under
the Company's current strategies.

  Discontinued Operations

     The Company acquired control of the assets and assumed the liabilities of
Production Masters, Inc. ("PMI") as of January 1, 1995 under an operating
agreement. The Company acquired PMI with the expectation of profitable
operations and potential future shared facilities and products. However, due to
management difficulties, equipment in need of substantial repair, and
significant marketing challenges, the Company determined to discontinue PMI. The
Company was required to pay the costs of discontinuing the operations. The
Company recorded a loss of $0.6 million from discontinued operations for the
year ended December 31, 1995. During 1996 the Company recorded a gain of $0.2
million from discontinued operations representing the settlement of certain
contingencies relating to the PMI business segment.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

  Revenue

     Revenue for 1994 was approximately $11.2 million, which consisted of
approximately $6.8 million of product solutions revenue and approximately $4.4
million of custom solutions revenue. Revenue for 1995 was approximately $20.8
million, or an 85.9% increase over 1994. 1995 revenue consisted of approximately
$10.2 million of product solution revenue, approximately $6.7 million of custom
solution revenue and approximately $3.9 million of outdoor media advertising.
The growth in product solutions revenue from 1994 to 1995 was a result of the
increase in the number of seminars provided and the average number of attendees
per seminar. The growth in custom solution revenue from 1994 to 1995 was a
result of the increase in the number of projects from both new and existing
customers. There was no outdoor media revenue in 1994 as SkiView was purchased
in 1995.

million related to custom solution services and approximately $3.0 million of
outdoor media advertising.

     During 1994 and 1995, the Company was developing its business. During 1995,
costs increased in all areas of the product and custom solution segments,
particularly in labor and related benefits and occupancy costs. There was no
outdoor media cost of revenue in 1994 as SkiView was purchased in 1995. See
financial statements of Predecessor Business.

commissions and benefits, travel and marketing program costs. Marketing and
selling expenses were approximately $2.3 million for 1994. For 1995 marketing
and selling expenses were approximately $5.3 million. The increase from 1994 to
1995 was primarily due to the growth of the Company's business and the
corresponding increase in personnel.

  General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses include costs for the accounting,
information systems and human resource functions, as well as costs related to
some senior executives of the Company. These costs are primarily comprised of

expenses were approximately $2.4 million during 1994. For 1995 general and
administrative expenses of approximately $4.8 million were primarily related to
the continued early development of the Company.

1994 consisted of approximately $0.2 million of depreciation of equipment and
approximately $0.4 million of amortization of organization costs and goodwill
related to acquisitions. For 1995, depreciation and amortization expense of
approximately $1.1 million consisted of approximately $0.6 million of
depreciation and approximately $0.5 million of amortization. The increase in
depreciation expense reflects the significant investment the Company made in its
computer and office equipment during 1995.

  Other Income (Expense)

     Interest income and expense are included in other income (expense). Other
expense of approximately $0.1 million for 1994 primarily represents interest
expense. Other expense of approximately $0.6 million for 1995 primarily

---------------

(a) Includes approximately $0.5 million in acquisition related costs.

(b) Includes approximately $1.7 million in acquisition and other one-time costs.

     The Company's quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to a variety of
factors, including the completion or cancellation of a major project, a
reduction in the scope of services to be performed under a major project, the
addition or loss of a major customer, the relative mix of higher and lower
margin projects, changes in pricing strategies, costs relating to the expansion
of operations, the costs of acquisitions, capital expenditures, the hiring or
loss of personnel, the opening or closing of offices, fluctuations in the number
of seminars or the number of persons attending seminars due to holidays and
other factors that are outside the Company's control. The Company experiences a
moderate amount of seasonality, primarily related to national holidays and
vacations taken in conjunction with the holidays. In addition, the Company has
experienced seasonality in its business due to the operations of SkiView, which
historically has earned substantially all of its revenues during the months of
November through March. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the
Company anticipates that it may experience material fluctuations in operating
results on a quarterly basis.

     During the first and second quarters of 1996 and for part of the third
quarter of 1996, costs increased in all areas of the custom and product solution
segments, particularly in labor and related benefits and occupancy costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash used in the Company's operating activities was approximately $1.0
million for 1995 primarily due to the Company's payment and fulfillment of
obligations acquired from the predecessor to SkiView and cash expenditures made
in the early development of the Company. For 1996, approximately $8.0 million of
cash was used in operations. Cash used in operations for 1996 largely reflects
the investment made by the Company to grow its operating infrastructure. Cash
used in investing activities was approximately $3.3 million and $6.2 million for
1995 and 1996, respectively, related primarily to purchases of property and
equipment in both years and to the rapid staffing growth and related office
space expansion in 1996. Cash flows from

                                       15
<PAGE>   18

financing activities were approximately $6.0 million and $45.6 million in 1995
and 1996, respectively. In 1995, the Company financed its operations, acquired
equipment and met its working capital requirements through a preferred stock
issuance and borrowings under lines of credit issued by certain affiliates. The
cash inflow from financing activities for 1996 reflects the completion of the
initial public offering of Common Stock.

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $34.0 million of
cash and cash equivalents which the Company believes will be sufficient to meet
its currently anticipated cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures
and funds required to make acquisitions, if any, for the next twelve months and
the foreseeable future.

FUTURE RESULTS

     This report may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements which are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated, including, but not limited to, the Company's
limited operating history and substantial operating losses, risks associated
with the expansion of the Company's business and the management of growth,
dependence on key personnel, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating
results, changing economic conditions, absence of long-term contracts, the
rapidly evolving market for interactive services, uncertain demand and market
acceptance for interactive solutions, rapidly changing technology and the
competitive environment. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are described
more fully under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Prospectus dated
March 21, 1996 included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-702).

     The Company's product solutions business is subject to certain additional
risks and uncertainties, including the need to anticipate changes in technology
to create product solutions on a timely basis, competition from other companies
with substantially greater financial, technical and other resources, relatively
low barriers to entry, the growth in CBT courses offered by others, the need to
restrict unauthorized use of the Company's product solutions and protect the
Company's proprietary rights, and the risk that states may seek to regulate the
Company's product solutions as educational programs.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Eagle River Interactive, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eagle River
Interactive, Inc., (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle River Interactive,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Organization and Business

     Eagle River Interactive, Inc. ("ERI"), a Delaware corporation, was
incorporated on September 28, 1995, and became the parent company of Eagle River
Communications, Inc. ("ERC"), SkiView, Inc. ("SkiView"), and Eagle River
Production, Inc. ("ERP"). During 1996, the Company completed mergers with
Graphic Media, Inc. ("GM") and Mastering Computers, Inc. ("Mastering
Computers"), which have been accounted for as poolings of interests. In
addition, during 1996 the Company formed SRC Localisation, ("SRC"), a 99% owned
subsidiary, which is located in Paris, France. Collectively ERI, ERC, SkiView,
ERP, GM and Mastering Computers, all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries, and
SRC, are referred to as the "Company".

     The Company creates and develops interactive solutions that assist United
States and international companies in sales, marketing, training and corporate
communications. The Company develops these business solutions through the use of
product and custom solutions. Product solutions consist of corporate training
primarily for IT professionals, including leader-led Windows NT, Windows 95 and
TCP/IP operating system training seminars as well as Microsoft Certified
Professional preparation courses and on-site workshops, computer-based training
media, interactive software, videos and newsletters. Custom solutions are
developed by the Company under three to nine month contracts and are delivered
using the Internet and World Wide Web, proprietary intranets, informational and
transactional kiosks, CD-ROMs and other interactive medium. The Company also
offers traditional outdoor media advertising at ski resorts in the United
States. The Company's primary locations are in Avon, Colorado and Scottsdale,
Arizona. The Company also has offices in Mountain View, California; Portland,
Oregon; New York, New York; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, California; Chicago,
Illinois; and Paris, France.

     ERC is the predecessor to ERI. ERC, formerly known as Hawthorne Media
Group, Inc., was incorporated as a Pennsylvania corporation on May 25, 1994. In
September 1994, all of the stock of ERC (300 shares) was acquired by Terence M.
Graunke ("Mr. Graunke"). In September 1995, Mr. Graunke converted $566,000 of
principal and interest payable to him by ERC under the terms of the Subordinated
Line of Credit (Note 7) into 30 shares of ERC common stock. The 330 shares of
ERC common stock owned by Mr. Graunke were then exchanged for 3,122,448 shares
of ERI common stock, and ERC became a wholly owned subsidiary of ERI. The
acquisition of ERC and SkiView (Note 3) by ERI was accounted for as a
reorganization of entities under common control and their assets and liabilities
are included in the consolidated financial statements at their historical costs.

     The Company has completed several mergers and acquisitions since the
inception of ERI's predecessor, ERC, on May 25, 1994 (Note 2). Certain of these
business combinations have been accounted for as poolings of interests.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
combined financial position and operating results for the Company, GM and
Mastering Computers for all periods presented. In addition, the consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of businesses acquired under the
purchase method of accounting from the effective date of the purchase
transaction.

  Stock Split

     Effective January 24, 1996, the Company approved a three share for one
share common stock split. Common stock amounts, equivalent share amounts and
per-share amounts have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the stock
split.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, except SRC, which is 99%
owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

  Basis for Recording Purchase-Method Acquisitions

     The purchase method of accounting was applied in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 to reflect the
Company's purchase price for certain acquisitions made during 1995 and 1996
(Note 3). As a result, the related assets and liabilities from such acquisitions
have been adjusted to reflect their estimated fair market values on the
effective dates of their acquisition. The use of the purchase method of
accounting results in increased amortization and depreciation to be reported by
the Company. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Predecessor Business
to SkiView, purchased in 1995, which appear elsewhere in this document, and the
consolidated financial statements of the Company are not comparable in all
material respects, since such financial statements report financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of these two separate and distinct
entities.

  Pro Forma Loss Per Common Share and Equivalent (Unaudited)

     Historical loss per share is not considered relevant as it would differ
materially from pro forma loss per common and common equivalent share given the
changes in the capital structure of the Company, which occurred on March 21,
1996 (the date of the Company's initial public offering). Pro forma loss from
continuing operations per common share and equivalents is computed using the sum
of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, assuming conversion of
the Preferred Stock had occurred on the date of its issuance.

     As a portion of the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering were
used to repay the SkiView note payable (Note 7), the following pro forma
information for the year ended December 31, 1996, is presented:

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

  Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company acquired the following assets and
assumed the following liabilities of the predecessor entity ("the Predecessor

                 EAGLE RIVER INTERACTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     On March 21, 1996, the effective date of the Company's initial public
offering, holders of 1,342,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
converted their shares into 4,026,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (Note
10).

     In March 1996, upon the Company's initial public offering, $3,126,000 of
accumulated deficit was reclassified to additional paid-in capital to reflect
the Company's change in tax status from an S-corporation to a C-Corporation for
tax purposes.

  Investments

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had invested $24,963,000 in United
States Government securities which are reported as cash equivalents. The Company
has the positive intent and ability to hold all of its investment securities to
maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities. These investments are
classified as held to maturity in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," and are recorded at amortized cost which
approximates their fair value. At December 31, 1996, total investment securities
had an amortized cost of $24,963,000, a fair value of $24,960,000, and reflect
unrealized losses of $3,000. The weighted average contractual maturities of the
debt securities at December 31, 1996 was 10 days.

  Concentration of Credit Risk

     The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit
risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign
hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances
with two financial institutions in the form of demand deposits and money market
accounts.

     The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for estimated credit losses. Its accounts receivable balances are
primarily domestic. In 1995 and 1996, no single customer accounted for 10% or
more of total revenue.

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     As of December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company's financial instruments
consisted of cash, short-term trade receivables and payables. In addition, as of
December 31, 1995 the Company's financial instruments also consisted of
long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and short-term trade receivables and
payables approximate fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated
based on current rates available for similar debt with similar maturities and
securities, and at December 31, 1995, approximated the carrying value.

  Depreciation

     The Company depreciates its assets using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment...........................  3 to 7 years

     Assets purchased under capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of
their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease.

  Product License and Software Development Costs

     Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing a software
product's technological feasibility are capitalized until such product is
available for general release to customers in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed." Capitalized software costs
are amortized on a product-by-product basis. Amortization is recorded based on
the greater of (a) the estimated economic life of the software (generally three
years or less) or (b) the ratio of current gross revenue for each product to the
total of current and anticipated gross revenues for each product, commencing
when such product is available for general release. All other software product
costs are expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 1996 the Company had
capitalized $329,000 of software development costs, net of $51,000 of
amortization.

     Certain contracts require the Company to pay royalties on product sales.
Royalties are generally based upon a percentage of net Company revenues from the
related product and are generally accrued as products are sold.

  Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid and liabilities
assumed by the Company over the fair market value of identifiable assets
acquired by the Company and results primarily from the 1995 acquisition of the
SkiView business. Goodwill is being amortized, using the straight-line method,
over estimated economic lives of ten years. The Company reviews its recorded
goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and provides
currently for any indicated impairment.

  Revenue Recognition

     The Company has three revenue sources -- product solutions, custom solution
services and outdoor media advertising. The Company generates revenue from sales
of product solutions, which consist primarily of Windows NT and Windows 95
operating systems training seminars and workshops, computer-based training
media, interactive training software and videos, and newsletters. Product
solution revenue from seminars is recognized upon commencement of the seminar.
Subscription revenues are deferred and recognized over the term of the related
subscription while other product revenue is recognized when the products are
shipped.

     The Company generates revenue from custom solution services, primarily
through fixed-fee contracts. The Company's custom solution customers generally
retain the Company on a project-by-project basis. The Company has no material
contract that commits any customer to use the Company's services on a long-term
basis. Custom solution service contracts are generally completed within three to
nine months. Custom solution revenue is recognized using the percentage of
completion method on an individual contract basis. Percentage

                 EAGLE RIVER INTERACTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

complete is determined based upon the ratio of costs incurred, primarily direct
labor, to total estimated costs. The Company's use of the percentage of
completion method of revenue recognition requires estimates of the degree of
project completion. To the extent these estimates prove to be inaccurate, the
revenues and gross profits, if any, reported for periods during which work on
the project is ongoing may not accurately reflect the final results of the
project, which can only be determined upon project completion. Provisions for
any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which
such losses are determinable.

     The Company sells outdoor media at ski areas to advertisers for a specific
period of time, generally November through March, which approximates the ski
season. Billings for outdoor media are typically made in advance of the ski
season. The Company recognizes this revenue ratably over the period the media
are provided to the customer. In some cases, the Company produces the
advertising content in addition to selling the media to its customers. In such
cases, the production revenue is recognized when the production work is
completed. In addition, the Company provides promotional services related to
events sponsored by various advertisers throughout the ski season. Promotion
revenue is recognized as the events are held, primarily in January through
March.

     Costs related to product solutions consist primarily of labor and related
benefits for speakers and seminar personnel, rental of seminar facilities and
the cost of materials provided to seminar participants, some of which is
deferred until seminar completion. Costs related to custom solution services
consist primarily of labor and occupancy expenses for creative design, account
management and sales personnel. Costs related to the Company's outdoor media
sales include primarily sales and operating expenses, sign installation and
maintenance costs (which are recognized as incurred on an accrual basis) and
tower and transit rental costs (which are recognized ratably over the November
to March ski season to coincide with the period over which related revenue is
recognized).

     The asset "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings" represents
custom solutions revenue recognized on individual contracts in progress in
excess of amounts billed. The liability "Billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings" represents billings in excess of revenue recognized.

  Income Taxes

     The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the expected future income tax consequences,
based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
carryforwards.

     SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected
future effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards and
tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed
necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which,
more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be
realized (Note 16).

  Foreign Currency Translation

     Balance sheet accounts of SRC are translated using the year-end exchange
rate, and statement of operations items are translated at the average exchange
rate for the period. Any resulting translation adjustments are reflected in a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Transactions denominated in foreign
currencies result in realized and unrealized translation gains and losses, which
are included in the determination of net income. Translation gains and losses
for the year ended December 31, 1996 were immaterial.

2. MERGERS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS ACCOUNTED FOR AS POOLINGS OF INTERESTS

     On June 21, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company
completed a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary with GM, an Oregon corporation.
As a result of the merger, GM became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The business combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests. In
connection with the GM merger, each outstanding share of GM Common Stock was
converted into 0.27 shares of ERI Common Stock with all the outstanding shares
of GM Common Stock being exchanged for 550,000 shares of ERI Common Stock. Prior
to the conversion, a dissenting GM shareholder was paid approximately $352,000
as consideration for her approximate 3% interest in GM. In addition, the Company
assumed and exchanged all options to purchase GM Common Stock for options to
purchase 141,041 shares of ERI Common Stock.

     On August 1, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company
completed a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary with Mastering Computers, Inc.,
an Arizona corporation. As a result of the merger, Mastering Computers became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This business combination was accounted
for as a pooling of interests. In connection with the Mastering Computers
merger, all outstanding shares of Mastering Computers Common Stock were
exchanged for 1,175,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company also
assumed and exchanged all options to purchase Mastering Computers Common Stock
for options to purchase 191,280 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     The mergers were accounted for as poolings of interests, and, accordingly,
the historical consolidated financial statements for the two companies for
periods prior to consummation of the mergers have been restated as though the
companies had been combined for all periods reported herein.

     The following table provides a reconciliation of revenues and earnings
reported by the Company to the combined amounts presented for, or included in

3. ACQUISITIONS

     On January 1, 1995, under the terms of an operating agreement, the Company
acquired the assets and liabilities (except certain specified indebtedness) of
the predecessor entity (the "Predecessor Business") that operated the business
currently conducted by SkiView. The Predecessor Business is affiliated with The
Hawthorne Group, Inc. ("Hawthorne"), a related party (Note 8). This agreement
transferred all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the outdoor media and
promotions business to the Company effective January 1, 1995, and, accordingly,
has been accounted for as an acquisition effective on that date. SkiView's
operations have been consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements since that date. In accordance with the terms of the purchase
agreement, finalized in September 1995, the purchase price for the SkiView
assets was $500,000 paid in cash at closing, $3,000,000 via the issuance of a
promissory note (Note 7), and the assumption of liabilities totaling
approximately $2,820,000. This transaction resulted in $3,570,000 of goodwill
(including $35,000 of acquisition costs), which is being amortized over its
estimated useful life of ten years. During 1995, cash payments totaling
approximately $1,057,000 were made related to this acquisition, including
$500,000 cash at closing and approximately $557,000 for payments of existing
related party debt.

     Also effective January 1, 1995, under the terms of an operating agreement,
the Company acquired the assets and liabilities (except certain specified
indebtedness) of Production Masters, Inc. ("PMI") from Hawthorne. PMI operated
an audio and video post-production studio. Similar to the SkiView agreement,
this agreement transferred all of the risks and rewards of ownership of PMI to
the Company, and accordingly, has been accounted for as an acquisition effective
January 1, 1995. PMI operations have been consolidated in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements since that date. In accordance with the
operating agreement, the PMI purchase price was $1 million and the assumption of
liabilities totaled $186,000. This transaction resulted in $94,000 of goodwill,
all of which was written off in 1995. The Company discontinued the operations of
PMI effective June 30, 1995 (Note 6). Prior to the discontinuance of PMI, the
Company paid $90,000 to Hawthorne in accordance with the terms of the operating
agreement, which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. No other cash payments for the acquisition of
PMI were made.

     The terms of the operating agreements, including the amount determined as
the value of the respective companies, was determined based on negotiations with
the Company and Hawthorne, a related party (Notes 7 and 8), on behalf of the
Predecessor Business and PMI. In each case, the respective operating agreement
specifically provided that the Company was granted the right to operate the
business, including without limitation all of the assets owned by PMI and the
Predecessor Business, in exchange for the assumption of liabilities (with
specified exclusions) and the payment of specified amounts. As a result of these
assumptions and payments, the Company is entitled under each agreement to
receive the economic benefits of the operation of each business.

     In October 1995, ERI purchased certain interactive marketing assets and
contracts in progress from a division of West End Post, Inc., a Texas
corporation, for $200,000 in cash. This transaction resulted in goodwill of
approximately $191,000 (which includes $15,000 of acquisition costs), which is
being amortized over ten years.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     In November 1996, the Company formed SRC. Concurrent with the formation,
SRC entered into an asset purchase agreement for the purchase of certain assets
from Group SRC. The assets were purchased in a cash transaction for
approximately $242,000. This transaction resulted in goodwill of approximately
$448,000 (including $107,000 of acquisition costs), which will be amortized over
ten years.

4. SEAVISION AND CONTINGENT NOTE RECEIVABLE

     As of December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company had advanced SeaVision, Inc.
("SeaVision") approximately $262,000 and $302,000, respectively. Certain members
of Hawthorne are also stockholders in SeaVision. These advances bear interest at
15% per annum, compounded quarterly, and mature three years from the date of
each funding. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had established a reserve for
$262,000 of this receivable. During 1996, the Company reversed the reserve,
based on the initial public offering of Allin Communications Corporation ("ACC")
(which was formed by the combination of SeaVision and other companies). The net
advance is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.

     In connection with the September 1995 Series A Preferred Stock offering,
Mr. Graunke issued a contingent note (the "Contingent Note") to the Company.
This note transfers to the Company future gains arising from the sale of Mr.
Graunke's 10.5% equity interest in SeaVision, a predecessor entity to ACC. The
terms of the Contingent Note require Mr. Graunke to pay the Company any net
proceeds in excess of $500,000 if and when he sells his holdings in SeaVision.
This Contingent Note had an estimated fair value of zero at September 1995. At
that time, SeaVision was a development stage entity with significant liquidity
issues.

     In November 1996, ACC completed an initial public offering of its common
stock. The SeaVision stock owned by Mr. Graunke was converted into 241,200
shares of ACC Common Stock, all of which are subject to the terms of the
Contingent Note. As of December 31, 1996, Mr. Graunke had not sold any of his
shares in ACC. Those shares are subject to an underwriter-imposed lock-up and
therefore cannot be sold until November 1997.

5. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     In March 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
4,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $13.00 per share. After
underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, net proceeds to
the Company from the offering were $46,727,000. Upon the closing of the
offering, all 1,342,000 shares of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Series A
Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") outstanding were converted into
4,026,000 shares of common stock.

     In addition, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock provided that
accrued dividends were not payable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock if the market price of the common stock at the time of such conversion
exceeded $5.00 per share. At the conversion date, $366,000 in Series A Preferred
Stock dividends had been accrued. These accrued dividends were restored to
additional paid-in capital upon the closing of the initial public offering at
which time the market price of the common stock on the date of conversion was
the initial public offering price of $13.00 per share.

     In April 1996, the underwriters of the Company's initial public offering
exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 309,000 shares
of common stock at $13.00 per share from the Company, with net proceeds to the
Company aggregating $3,736,000.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Effective June 30, 1995, the Company elected to discontinue the operations
of PMI. As a result of this decision, Hawthorne agreed to release the Company
from the terms of the operating agreement, including the amount recorded as
payable to Hawthorne related to the $1 million purchase option, and cancel the

agreement. As a component of this arrangement, the Company was responsible,
however, for liquidating PMI and funding the cost of discontinuing the PMI
operations. The assets were sold to a third party for approximately $700,000 and
all proceeds from the liquidation of the assets were paid to Hawthorne. As a
result of this discontinuance and liquidation, the operations of PMI from its
acquisition through its disposition have been reflected as discontinued
operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996. The Company recorded a loss on the
disposal of this segment of $350,000, composed of approximately $58,000 to write
down the segment's assets and $292,000 of payroll and other operating costs
incurred from the measurement date through the date of final disposition. In
addition, during 1995 the Company recorded approximately $294,000 for losses
from PMI operations prior to the measurement date. During 1996 the Company
recorded a gain of $198,000 from discontinued operations representing the
settlement of certain contingencies relating to the PMI business segment.

7. DEBT

  Senior Secured Line of Credit

     On December 1, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with individual
partners (the "Hawthorne Partners") of Hawthorne, under which the Company could
borrow up to $2 million for a term of three years. The borrowings required
interest at the option of the lender at a rate of 12% or the prime rate of a
bank plus one percent (12% at December 31, 1994). The note was collateralized by
a security interest in personal property and fixtures and the assignment of a $3
million life insurance policy covering Mr. Graunke. Further, Mr. Graunke
guaranteed the repayment of 50% of the outstanding borrowings, up to $1 million,
plus accrued interest. The note was paid in full ($2 million) and canceled on
September 29, 1995.

     As additional consideration for the senior secured line of credit, the
Company issued to the Hawthorne Partners a warrant exercisable into shares of
the Company's Common Stock. The warrants were canceled on September 29, 1995.

  Subordinated Line of Credit

     On December 1, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Graunke
and the Hawthorne Partners under which the Company could borrow up to $1.5
million for a term of three years. The borrowings bore interest at a rate of
15%. The note was collateralized by a security interest in personal property and
fixtures and the assignment of a $3 million life insurance policy covering Mr.
Graunke. All rights under the subordinated line of credit were junior to claims
under the senior secured line of credit. On September 28, 1995, Mr. Graunke
converted all of the principal ($512,000) and interest ($54,000) payable to him
under this facility (totaling $566,000) into 30 shares of ERC Common Stock. The
remaining $988,000 balance of the subordinated line was paid in full and the
borrowing agreement was canceled on September 29, 1995.

     Certain individuals associated with Hawthorne were stockholders of ERC
until September 1, 1994, at which time their shares were purchased by Mr.
Graunke. These individuals served as directors of the Company until September
29, 1995. Certain individuals associated with Hawthorne were creditors of the
Company as a result of their participation in the Senior Secured Line of Credit
and Subordinated Line of Credit. Amounts paid to these individuals under these
debt agreements totaled $3,149,000, including interest of $162,000 in 1995.

  SkiView Note

     In connection with the purchase of the SkiView business, the Company issued
a note payable to the Predecessor Business, which is controlled by Hawthorne.
Because the purchase was effective on January 1, 1995, the amount of debt
recorded at that date was $3.5 million. The formalization of the purchase on

September 29, 1995 resulted in a $500,000 cash payment and a $3 million note
payable to Hawthorne. The note bears interest at 12%, and was paid in full
during 1996.

  Lines of Credit

     During 1996, the Company obtained and subsequently canceled a line of
credit facility from a bank. The line of credit was secured by accounts
receivable and allowed for borrowings up to $1.5 million. Borrowings and
repayments under this line of credit during 1996 were $250,000.

8. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In addition to the related party transactions discussed above, the Company
had the following related party transactions:

     - The Company uses an aircraft owned by an entity in which Mr. Graunke is
       the primary member. Costs incurred to rent the aircraft totaled
       approximately $149,000 and $280,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995
       and 1996, respectively, which is recorded as offering costs in the
       accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders' equity, and general
       and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of
       operations. Rental rates charged to the Company for the aircraft
       approximate first class commercial rates for similar flights. As of
       December 31, 1996, the Company had prepaid $186,000 to this entity, which
       is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

     - The Company leases office space from an entity owned by several members
       of the board of directors. Related expense totaled approximately $81,000
       in 1996. The lease rate per square foot charged to the Company is the
       same as that paid by the Company for a similar facility leased from a
       third party in the same general location.

     - The Company paid or accrued approximately $280,000 and $800,000
       (including $505,000 of offering costs) to a law firm for legal services
       performed during 1995 and 1996, respectively. A partner in this law firm
       is a director and a stockholder. At December 31, 1996, approximately
       $90,000 of this amount is included in accrued expenses in the
       accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     - Mastering Computers incurred approximately $949,000, $641,000 and
       $1,327,000 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, for printing, film work,
       data processing, marketing and mailing related to Mastering Computers'
       ongoing direct-mail campaigns and newsletter printing and mailing, all of
       which involved approximately 2,840,000, 2,988,000 and 4,345,000
       direct-mail pieces in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These amounts
       were paid to two companies owned by family members of the Company's
       President. Amounts billed by related party companies include a fee to
       manage all aspects of the direct-mail campaign and newsletter printing
       and mailing, and an amount to pay third-party vendors contracted with to
       provide such services. During 1994 and 1995, services provided by related
       party companies were on an informal basis. During 1996, Mastering
       Computers arranged with the related party Company to have the fee be 15%
       of all submitted third-party vendor invoices. At December 31, 1995 and
       1996, approximately $186,000 and $233,000, respectively, of costs were
       reflected as prepaid expenses, and are included in other current assets
       in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that
       the amounts paid for these services are comparable to those that would be
       paid to unaffiliated companies.

     - During 1995, prior to the Company's merger with Mastering Computers in
       August 1996, Mastering Computers entered into an agreement to expand
       certain products available to seminar customers with a company owned by a
       family member of the Company's President. The Company had approximately
       $41,000 payable to this individual included in accrued expenses at
       December 31, 1995 relating to the agreement. This agreement was
       terminated in 1996.

     - During 1996, the Company paid approximately $185,000 for consulting
       services to a family member of the Company's President, primarily under
       an agreement entered into by Mastering Computers, prior to the Company's
       merger with Mastering Computers in August 1996. This agreement was
       terminated in 1996.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

  Rights Agreement

     The Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of
one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of
common stock. Upon certain events, including events which could result in a
change in control of the Company, each Right entitles the registered holder to
purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series B Preferred
Stock at a price of five times the offering price per share of the Company's
common stock established by the initial public offering of such common stock.

10. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     During 1995 the Company sold 1,342,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock"), $0.001 par value, at $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of
$6,710,000. The Company used the funds for repayment of the Senior Secured and
Subordinated Lines of Credit, as well as for other working capital and
investment purposes.

     As of December 31, 1995, dividends of $188,000 were accrued on the
Preferred Stock. During 1996, additional dividends of $178,000 were accrued on
the Preferred Stock. On March 21, 1996, the holders of 1,342,000 shares of
Preferred Stock converted their shares of Preferred Stock into 4,026,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. However, dividends were not paid upon conversion
of the Preferred Stock as the market price of the Company's common stock
exceeded $5.00 on the date of conversion, which was the maximum conversion rate
at which dividends were to be paid.

11. OPTION PLANS

  1995 Executive Stock Option Plan

     In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Executive Stock Option Plan (the
"Executive Option Plan"), whereby certain eligible executives may be granted
options. The Executive Option Plan allows issuance of incentive stock options
and nonqualified options. The Executive Option Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The exercise
price of incentive stock options shall not be less than the stock's fair market
value on the date of grant. The Committee may grant options to purchase up to an
aggregate of 3,000,000 shares under the Executive Option Plan of which 2,012,400
are considered Standard Options and 987,600 are considered Special Options. The
Standard Options become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning
12 months after the date of grant. The terms of the Special Options provided
that such Special Options vest at the end of four years from the date of grant;
however, vesting could be accelerated based upon the Company achieving certain
performance measures, which primarily related to the fair market value of the
Company's common stock. In 1996, the Company met such performance measures, and
the Special Options vested in full.

  Employee Option Plan

     In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Employee Option Plan (the "Employee
Option Plan"), whereby certain eligible employees may be granted options. The
Employee Option Plan allows issuance of incentive stock options and
non-qualified options, and is administered by the Committee. The Committee may
grant

                 EAGLE RIVER INTERACTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

options to purchase up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares under the Employee
Option Plan. The options become exercisable in four equal annual installments
beginning 12 months after the date of grant.

  Mastering Computers Stock Options

     Mastering Computers had granted to certain key employees options to
purchase shares of common stock of Mastering Computers. A portion of the options
vested immediately at the grant date with the remaining options vesting upon the
change of control resulting from Mastering Computers' merger with the Company.
All outstanding Mastering Computers options were exchanged for ERI options (Note
2). The difference between the exercise price for certain options and the fair
value of the underlying stock on the date of grant has been recorded as
compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
and recorded in common stock.

  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     In January 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company's
stockholders approved, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan which qualifies under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, employees meeting certain eligibility requirements are entitled to
purchase common stock through payroll deductions or lump-sum deposits made
during periods established by the plan's administrative committee. Participants
generally may purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market
value of the common stock on certain specified dates. The Company has reserved
150,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. Under the plan, the Company issued 10,673 shares during 1996.

  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123")

     SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," defines a
fair-value-based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar
equity instruments. However, SFAS 123 allows the continued measurement of
compensation cost for such plans using the intrinsic-value-based method
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25"), provided that pro forma disclosures are made of net income or loss
and net income or loss per share, assuming the fair value based method of SFAS
123 had been applied. The Company has elected to account for its stock-based
compensation plans under APB 25; accordingly, for purposes of the pro forma
disclosures presented below, the Company has computed the fair values of all
options granted during 1995 and 1996 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and
the following weighted average assumptions:

<TABLE>

                                                               1995       1996
                                                              -------    -------

Expected lives outstanding..................................  4 years    4 years
Expected volatility.........................................  104.14%    104.14%
</TABLE>

     To estimate lives of options for this valuation, it was assumed options
will be exercised upon becoming fully vested and that the Company had completed
its initial public offering. All options are initially assumed to vest.
Cumulative compensation cost recognized in pro forma net income or loss with
respect to options that are forfeited prior to vesting is adjusted as a
reduction of pro forma compensation expense in the period of forfeiture.

     If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in
accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's pro forma net loss and pro forma net
loss per common share would have been reported as follows:

     Weighted average shares used to calculate pro forma net loss per share were
determined as described in Note 1. Historical net loss per common share are not
presented for periods prior to 1996 as it is not considered relevant given the
Company's initial public offering in 1996, which resulted in significant changes
in the Company's capital structure.

12. BONUS PLANS

     In 1995, the Company adopted the 1996 Executive Bonus Plan ("Bonus Plan")
to provide a performance-based incentive for the Company's executive officers
and key employees. The Compensation Committee administers the Bonus Plan and
determines which employees are eligible for participation. Bonuses are based on
the Company's results of operations and, in certain cases, revenue for the
applicable period. Bonuses may be awarded under the Bonus Plan through the end
of 1996.

                 EAGLE RIVER INTERACTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Certain employees of the Company are eligible for bonuses under various
employment agreements. Bonuses are primarily awarded based on the Company's
results of operations. Bonuses of $42,000, $495,000 and $490,000 were recorded
in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, under the Bonus Plan and employment
agreements.

13. PURCHASED TECHNOLOGY

     In May 1995, GM acquired certain office training application products in
exchange for $50,000 in cash, a note payable of $50,000, a royalty commitment,
125,556 shares of common stock, options to purchase 43,320 shares of the
Company's Common Stock with a value of $142,000 and payment of related legal
costs for a total value of $337,500. The difference between the fair value of
the options and their exercise price is treated as additional consideration of
$49,000. The recorded costs are being amortized pro rata based upon actual and
projected revenues to be generated from sales of the products. The Company
recognized amortization expense associated with the training application
products of approximately $332,000 and $5,500 in 1995 and 1996, respectively.

14. CAPITAL LEASES

     The Company leases equipment under non-cancelable capital lease
obligations. Accordingly, the fair value of the equipment has been capitalized
and the related obligation recorded. The average implicit interest rate on these
leases was 6.8% at December 31, 1996. Interest is charged to expense at a level
rate applied to declining principal over the period of the obligation.

     Future minimum lease payments under the capital leases as of December 31,
1996 are as follows:

15. RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

     The Company has adopted a 401(k) retirement savings plan, effective January
1996. All of the Company's employees are eligible to participate and may elect
to contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation to the plan. The Company
will provide a matching contribution of 50% of the employee's contribution up to
an annual maximum of 4% of the employee's annual compensation and a maximum
annual match limit of $2,500. The Company's matching contributions vest over a
four-year period. During 1996, the Company contributed approximately $272,000 to
the plan.

     Mastering Computers has a profit sharing plan. Contributions consist of an
annual discretionary contribution. Mastering Computers 1994 annual contributions
were $71,000. There were no 1995 or 1996 annual contributions.

16. INCOME TAXES

     ERI was an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes until
September 29, 1995. Accordingly, ERI was not subject to income tax, as all
taxable income or loss of ERI was reported in the tax return of its shareholders
for the period from inception through September 29, 1995. Upon the establishment
of ERI as a C corporation, a net deferred tax asset of approximately $502,000
was recorded by the Company which was fully reserved for by a valuation
allowance as of December 31, 1995.

     GM and Mastering Computers were S corporations for federal and state income
tax purposes prior to merging with ERI on June 21, 1996 and August 1, 1996,
respectively. Accordingly, GM and Mastering Computers were not subject to income
tax prior to those dates, as all taxable income or loss of GM and Mastering
Computers was reported in the tax returns of their shareholders for the period
from inception through their respective merger dates. Upon merger with the
Company, net deferred tax assets of $30,000 and $125,000 relating to GM and
Mastering, respectively, were recorded by the Company.

     Through December 31, 1995, the Company provided a valuation allowance to
fully offset its net deferred tax asset, which consisted primarily of the
benefit of net operating losses. Such net operating losses were primarily the
result of the Company's investment in infrastructure to significantly expand its
business and, to a much lesser degree, losses from its outdoor media business.
During 1996, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), the Company reviewed the realization
of its deferred tax asset, and as a result of this review, reversed a portion of
the valuation allowance. This reversal was based on management's determination
that the related deferred tax asset will be realized, on a more likely than not
basis, as a result of the Company's future years operations.

     During 1996, the Company recorded an income tax benefit for the deferred
income tax asset created by 1996 operating losses. At December 31, 1996, in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109, management has determined that it is
more likely than not that the tax asset of approximately $2.3 million as of
December 31, 1996 will be realized in the foreseeable future based on taxable
income generated by future years operations.

     The Company bases its determination on the significant growth that has
occurred in its business during 1996. The Company's revenue increased from $20.8
million in 1995 to $39.3 million in 1996, representing an 89% increase in
revenue. In addition, such revenue increased from $7.8 million in the first
quarter of 1996 to $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 1996, representing a
76% increase in revenue. In 1995 and the first half of 1996, the Company
incurred significant losses due to expenditures related to developing and
expanding capacity for the delivery of its custom and product solutions and
services. The Company realized, as a result of such expenditures, positive
operating results for the fourth quarter of 1996, which generated taxable income
for that quarter. Further, the Company's management continues to believe that
the increases in margins achieved by its outdoor media business in 1996 over
1995 will continue. Based on its projections, the Company's management believes
that profitable operations will be sustained in future periods and that the
losses incurred by the Company in establishing and growing its infrastructure
will not recur. Based on the above operating results and management's
expectations relating to its current business model and forecasts, it is
management's belief that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax
asset at December 31, 1996 will be realized through the generation of future
taxable income.

     Historically, the Company's net loss before taxes has approximated its
taxable loss. The Company's deferred income taxes result primarily from the use
of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes, amortization
differences relating to certain intangible assets, net operating loss
carryforwards

("NOLs") and certain amounts accrued for book purposes which are not deductible
for income tax purposes until paid. The Company has tax NOLs totaling $4.5
million, which expire as follows: 2010-$.6 million and 2011-$3.9 million.

     Management believes that taxable income during the carryforward period will
be sufficient to fully use the NOLs before they expire. Management anticipates
that taxable income during the carryforward period will arise primarily as a
result of the Company's continued growth in its custom and product solutions
services and operating efficiencies which may be gained under the Company's
current strategies. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income
during the Company's loss carryforward period are reduced.

     The components of the net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 1995
and 1996, are as follows:

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND DISPOSAL OF PRINCIPAL BUSINESS

     Ski View, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was formed in July
1984 primarily for the purpose of acquiring and managing outdoor advertising
businesses in ski resort areas.

     Effective January 1, 1995, Eagle River Communications ("ERC"), which
subsequently became a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle River Interactive, Inc.,
was granted a license by the Company to operate the Company's business. ERC was
required to pay the Company a monthly license fee of $35,000. In exchange, ERC
was given control of all the Company's assets, was required to pay all of its
liabilities (excluding debt of $8,310,533 as of December 31, 1994), and was
entitled to all of the economic benefit, if any, from operation of the Company's
business. The license also gave ERC the option to purchase the net assets it
controlled for $3,500,000. ERC exercised that option on September 29, 1995, by
paying the Company cash of $500,000 and delivering to the Company a note payable
for $3,000,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum and due in quarterly
installments of $150,000 plus accrued interest, commencing January 1, 1996.

     Consequently, the Company's operations subsequent to December 31, 1994,
have been limited principally to collecting the license fees from ERC (through
September 1995) and closing the sale of its business as described above. In
effect, its business was assigned/sold to ERC on January 1, 1995. The then
present value of the consideration received (equating license payments to
interest) was approximately $3,500,000. That amount exceeds the carrying values,
as of December 31, 1994, of the net assets sold to ERC by approximately
$2,100,000; however, the sale transaction will not provide sufficient funds to
satisfy Company indebtedness not assumed by ERC, most of which is due the
Company's principal shareholder. (Note 3).

     The Company's accounting policies reflect practices common to the outdoor
advertising industry and are summarized below.

  Accounts Receivable

     Substantially all of the Company's revenues and resultant accounts
receivable are derived from charges for outdoor media space at ski resorts
throughout the United States.

  Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Cost, for assets
initially acquired by the Company, was based upon the fair market values of
those assets at the date of acquisition as determined by an appraisal.
Depreciation is provided using accelerated and straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years.

  Revenue and Expense Recognition

     The Company's business is cyclical in nature in that the advertising
contracted for by its customers is only displayed during the ski season
(November-April). The Company recognizes income attributable to this advertising
during the periods when the advertising is in place. Accordingly, revenue from
customer advertising is recognized evenly over the contractual period. Amounts
billed in advance of this contractual period are deferred and recognized as such
amounts are earned.

     Operating expenses and sign installation costs are recognized as incurred
on an accrual basis. Tower and transit rental costs are recognized on a pro rata
basis over the ski season to coincide with the period over which the related
advertising revenues are recognized.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Intangible Assets

     In August 1984, the Company acquired all of the advertising displays,
signs, leases and licenses, advertising contracts and other assets from a third
party. The excess of purchase cost over the fair value of the assets acquired,
as determined by an independent appraiser, has been classified as intangible
assets in the accompanying balance sheets and is amortizable over a 40-year
period. Included in the accompanying statements of operations and accumulated
deficit is amortization expense of approximately $40,000 for each year ended
April 30, 1993 and 1994, and $27,000 for the eight-month period ended December
31, 1994.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT:

     Long-term debt consists of the following:

</TABLE>

     Stockholder indebtedness represents borrowings from the majority
shareholder via a note payable and a working capital loan facility. The note
payable was acquired by the majority shareholder from a bank effective May 15,
1990. The loan agreement which provides for these borrowings includes
restrictive covenants which, among other things, require that the Company:

     -- Maintain Key Man life insurance on an executive of the Company

     -- Limit payments made to affiliates

     -- Restrict dividend payments

     -- Maintain certain financial ratios

     The Company was in violation of certain of these covenants, to which the
shareholder waived its rights and remedies to principal acceleration in
accordance with the loan agreement.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The subordinated notes payable to the previous owners originally
represented notes related to the acquisition of the Company. The Company and the
previous owners have reached agreements whereby the original notes and shares of
common stock were acquired by the Company in exchange for cash and new notes as
follows:

</TABLE>

     Payments of accrued interest under the stockholder indebtedness and the
original notes payable to the previous owners have been suspended. As a result,
the amounts due related to these obligations have been reflected with long-term
debt in the accompanying balance sheets.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

     As of April 30, 1993 and 1994, and December 31, 1994, the status of the
Company's capital stock was as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                           PAR VALUE   AUTHORIZED   ISSUED
                                                           ---------   ----------   ------
<S>                                                        <C>         <C>          <C>
Preferred Series A.......................................    $100        10,000     7,500
Common...................................................    $  1         1,000     1,000
</TABLE>

     The Series A shares represent cumulative redeemable preferred stock with no
voting rights. The cumulative dividends of 25% are payable quarterly. The
stockholder loan agreement restricts any dividend distributions by the Company
until all amounts under this agreement have been satisfied. Accordingly, no
dividends have been accrued or paid as of December 31, 1994.

     The preferred stock is redeemable through September 30, 1997. The Company
may redeem up to 1,000 shares per year at a stated redemption price of $100 per
share plus any unpaid dividends as of the last dividend period.

5. COMMITMENTS:

     The Company leases ski towers and transit displays under noncancelable
operating leases which expire on various dates through 1999. These lease
agreements provide that the Company incurs no lease obligation unless
advertising is displayed on the leased facility. Rental expense under these
arrangements for the years ended April 30, 1993 and 1994, and the eight-month
period ended December 31, 1994, was approximately $583,000, $464,000 and
$184,000, respectively.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     The Company has a working capital loan with the majority stockholder which
provides for borrowings not to exceed $750,000. These borrowings bear interest
at 15% and are due on demand. Interest expense under this

                                      F-32

                                 SKIVIEW, INC.

arrangement, was approximately $20,000 and $12,000 for the years ended April 30,
1993 and 1994, and $11,000 for the eight-month period ended December 31, 1994,
respectively.

     Prior to the acquisition of the Company, the Company reached a separation
agreement with one of its officers. This agreement provides for installment
payments totaling $380,000, of which $360,000 is included with accrued
liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1994.

     The Company invests certain excess cash balances jointly with a stockholder
in an interest-bearing account held by the shareholder. The Company's portion of
such investments is included with the related party receivable in the
accompanying balance sheets.

     The Company has a contractual arrangement with a stockholder to provide
services relative to obtaining advertising contracts with the Company. Expenses
under these agreements were approximately $250,000 for each of the years ended
April 30, 1993 and 1994, and $133,000 for the eight-month period ended December
31, 1994.

     A stockholder of the Company provides management assistance to the Company.
Management fee expenses were approximately $50,000 for each of the years ended
April 30, 1993 and 1994, and $33,000 for the eight-month period ended December
31, 1994.

7. INCOME TAXES:

     The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Accordingly,
no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial
statements. The forgiveness of debt discussed in Note 3 was treated as a
reduction of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. There are
no other significant differences between the accumulated loss for financial
reporting purposes and income tax purposes. The Company's net operating loss
carryforwards are approximately $7,700,000 as of December 31, 1994, and may be
used to reduce future federal taxable income, if any, and expire between 1999
and 2010. These operating losses are subject to limitations upon certain events,
including certain ownership changes.
