CYTATION CORPORATION
FORM 10-KSB
FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements with respect to Cytation Corporation, formerly known as CollegeLink.com Incorporated that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including those described herein and the documents incorporated herein by reference, and those factors described in Part II, Item 6 under "Factors that May Affect Future Results of Operations."

PART I

Item 1.  Business

On June 20, 2001, Cytation Corporation (then known as CollegeLink.com Incorporated) ("Cytation" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cytation Bristol Corporation (then known as CollegeLink Corporation) sold substantially all of their respective assets to TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP").  TMP is the parent corporation of TMP Interactive Inc. d/b/a Monster.com. The assets sold to TMP included all revenue producing assets related to the Company's high school and college resource businesses. As a result of this sale and the prior sales of the Company's Internet services businesses, the Company no longer is engaged in any business in which it was engaged during its three fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000 or its six-month transition period ending December 31, 2000.

In connection with the sale to TMP, management of the Company entered into non-competition agreements with TMP with respect to the Company's former high school and college resource businesses.

As consideration for the sale, TMP paid Cytation Corporation approximately $4,202,000 in cash and assumed approximately $3,062,000 of Cytation's liabilities. Among the liabilities that TMP assumed were notes issued by Cytation to TMP in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.

Two former officers of the Company entered into employment agreements with TMP on the date of the sale. Each received options to purchase up to 8,000 shares of TMP common stock, subject to certain vesting requirements. In a separate transaction that closed on the same day as the sale of assets to TMP, the Company paid approximately $849,000 to these two former officers in consideration of consulting fees, bonuses and the redemption of 1,625,000 shares of Cytation common stock owned by them.

On June 21, 2001, the Company changed its name from "CollegeLink.com Incorporated" to "Cytation Corporation", and Cytation Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary changed its name from "CollegeLink Corporation" to "Cytation Bristol Corporation". The name changes were effected in connection with the sale of assets to TMP. Cytation Bristol Corporation dissolved in October 2001.

In the transaction with TMP, the Company sold all of its revenue generating business, including the Company's former "Making It Count" division. That division accounted for approximately $1,366,000 in revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000; $1,245,000 in revenue for the six month transition period ended December 31, 2000; and $2,927,597 in revenue for the period January 1, 2001 through June 20, 2001, the date of the sale to TMP. As a consequence, the Company does not expect to generate revenue from operations for the foreseeable future other than interest income. See Part II, Item 6, "Plan of Operation."  The Company does, however, have expenses which consist of salary and benefits for three employees, insurance, the Company's office lease, legal and accounting fees and miscellaneous office expenses.

The Company is currently testing the market for a program which provides a range of services to companies that wish to become public and attain reporting company status under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In today's market climate, investment banking firms are underwriting a limited number of initial public offerings, particularly in the small and microcap marketplaces. The Company has developed a program which it believes will enable private companies to become public in compliance with securities regulations through an alternative to an IPO or reverse merger and thereafter to develop a trading market.

The Company believes its program addresses many of the aspects of the private-to-public transition. First, the Company may be able to arrange for an interim equity investment while the company is still private. Second, private companies will receive support helpful in filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with federal and state securities laws. Concurrently, through Cytation's "Dividend Distribution Program," Cytation will assist private companies in meeting the specific listing requirements of NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange or the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and in the development and implementation of a plan with the objective of increasing market capitalization as the stock begins to trade in the aftermarket. Cytation will also seek to help its clients in the aftermarket through a program that provides the foundation for an orderly trading market and an informed marketplace.

A more complete description of the Company's proposed business may be found at www.cytation.com.

The Company is just beginning to explore this market and has not yet determined its size, the willingness of private companies to consider becoming public in a the manner facilitated by the Company or the extent of competition for the Company's services.

Although the Company is engaged in discussions with respect to its program with several private entities that are considering becoming reporting companies, no agreements have been entered into and no assurance can be provided that an agreement for the Company's services will ever be entered into or that the Company will generate any revenue from the services it proposes to provide. Compensation pursuant to agreements entered into, if any, may consist of equity securities or be deferred into subsequent fiscal periods. If the Company elects not to continue this effort or is unable to secure commitments from companies to use the Company's services before January 1, 2003, it may discontinue business operations entirely before the end of the year 2003 and possibly seek to consummate a reverse merger with an operating private entity. See Item 6, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation."

Cytation's common stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "CYTY".

As of December 31, 2001, the Company employed three persons full-time. None of the Company's employees is represented by a union, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. Relations with employees are good.

Item 2.  Properties

The Company's corporate office is located at 251 Thames Street, Bristol, Rhode Island 02809, where it occupies 1,500 square feet pursuant to a lease that expires in December 2002. The Company believes that these facilities are adequate to meet its current foreseeable requirements. The Company's telephone number is (401) 254-8800, and the facsimile number is (401) 254-2844. The Company's website is www.cytation.com.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

On February 7, 2002, Gerald Paxton, a former consultant to the Company, filed a demand for arbitration arising under his consulting agreement with the Company. Mr. Paxton claims the Company owes him $239,059, plus interest. On March 4, 2002, the Company responded and denied any liability to Mr. Paxton. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against all of the claims raised in the demand for arbitration.

In October 2001, the Company settled a purported class action lawsuit filed against the Company in April 2001 by a small group of its stockholders. The settlement amount was $400,000, or approximately 11% of the $3,500,000 damages claimed by this group, and the group subsequently paid its attorneys approximately $320,000 of the $400,000 settlement amount. The Company denied any liability and asserted counterclaims relating to plaintiffs' interference with the sale of assets to TMP, which was delayed as a result of the litigation causing a reduction in the amount paid to the Company by TMP, and a third-party claim against Mr. Paxton, who was the largest stockholder of the stockholder group. Management believed that the claims raised in the class action were without merit but agreed to settle the matter to avoid additional legal fees. The payment of the settlement amount plus payment of the Company's own legal fees materially and adversely affected the Company's ability to carry out plans for entering into a new business after the sale of assets to TMP.

There are no pending claims against us regarding infringement of any patents or other intellectual property rights of others. The Company is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     None.

At March 29, 2001, the Company had 1,402 holders of record of its common stock. Some shares are held by various investment and other firms in street name. The Company estimates the number of beneficial owners of the Company's common stock at March 29, 2001 to be 1,396.

The market price of the Company's common stock has been volatile and sporadic and has declined during the year. For a discussion of the factors affecting the Company's stock price, see, Part II, Item 6, "Factors that May Affect Future Results of Operations -- Possible Volatility of Stock Price."

The Company has not paid cash dividends on its common shares or other securities. The Company has not paid the dividend to the holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (prior to the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock by the Company) for any quarter ending after March 31, 2000. The Company does not expect to pay any cash dividends on its outstanding preferred or common shares in the foreseeable future.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information and the notes thereto included in Items 6 and 8 of this 10-KSB.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis section and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in Part I, Item 1."Business" and Part II, Item 6, "Plan of Operation.". The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof, and management assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management considers the following to be critical accounting policies:

1.   Use of estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.   Fair value of financial instruments.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

3.   Income taxes.  The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

4. Employee stock options and shares issued for services.  The Company accounts for employee stock transactions in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has adopted the proforma disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, any excess of fair market value of stock issued to employees over exercise prices has been recorded as compensation expense and additional paid in capital.

5. Loss per share.  The Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 eliminates the presentation of primary and fully dilutive earnings per share ("EPS") and requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and for the six-months ended December 31, 2000 because such inclusion is antidilutive.

6.   Cash and cash equivalents.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company may have cash balances in the bank in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC through the period. In connection with the sale of all of the Company's operating assets in June 2001, the Company deposited $420,224 into an interest-bearing escrow account. These funds, net of any claims made against the escrow and paid in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, will be released to the Company in December 2002.

As a result of the sale in June 2001 by the Company of substantially all of its assets (including all of its revenue generating assets) to TMP and the prior sales of the Company's Internet services businesses, the Company no longer is engaged in any business in which it was engaged during its three fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000 or its six-month transition period ending December 31, 2000. Accordingly, management does not believe that it is informative or useful to compare the results of operations of the principal business which it conducted until June 20, 2001 but which it no longer owns with the results of operations of this business and other discontinued businesses for prior periods.  See Plan of Operation, below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had positive working capital of $650,009 compared to negative working capital of $1,551,029 as of December 31, 2000.

The Company has sufficient capital to continue operations through the end of 2002 without generating any revenue from the business it is currently investigating. See Part 1, Item 1. "Business." It may be necessary, however, for the Company's officers to defer receipt of compensation due them under employment agreements until funds are available from an escrow account established in connection with the sale of assets to TMP. The officers have agreed to such a deferral without waiving any rights they may have under their employment agreements.

The Company earned $21,367 of interest income after the sale of all of its revenue generating assets to TMP in June 2001. Currently, interest income is the Company's only source of revenue.

The payment of any monetary award to Gerald Paxton in arbitration and the legal fees incurred in connection with this matter may decrease the Company's ability to continue operations after the end of 2002.

Plan of Operation

The Company is no longer engaged in any activities in which it was engaged during its last three fiscal years and its transition year ended December 30, 2000. The Company is now principally engaged in exploring the market for a program which provides a range of services to companies that wish to become public and attain reporting company status under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company believes that this program will enable private companies to become public in compliance with securities regulations through an alternative to an IPO or reverse merger and thereafter to develop a trading market.

The Company believes its program addresses many of the aspects of the private-to-public transition. First, the Company may be able to arrange for an interim equity investment while the company is still private. Second, private companies will receive support helpful in filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, more generally, in complying with federal and state securities laws. Concurrently, through the Company's "Dividend Distribution Program", Cytation will assist private companies in meeting the specific listing requirements of NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange or the Over the Counter Bulletin Board and in the development and implementation of a plan with the objective of increasing market capitalization as the stock begins to trade in the aftermarket. Cytation will also seek to help its clients in the aftermarket through a program that provides the foundation for an orderly trading market and an informed marketplace.

The Company is just beginning to explore this market and has not yet determined its size, the willingness of private companies to consider becoming public in a the manner facilitated by the Company or the extent of competition for the Company's services.

Although the Company is engaged in discussions with respect to its program with several private entities that are considering becoming reporting companies, no agreements have been entered into and no assurance can be provided that an agreement for the Company's services will ever be entered into or that the Company will generate any revenue from the services it proposes to provide. Compensation pursuant to agreements entered into, if any, may consist of equity securities rather than, or in addition to, cash, and may be deferred into subsequent fiscal periods.

The Company has sufficient capital through 2002 to determine whether its plan of operation has a reasonable probability of being successful. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results of Operations."  If the plan is successful, the Company does not believe it will require additional capital to continue operations after December 31, 2002. If the plan is not successful, the Company expects to discontinue operations in 2003.

The Company does not need to perform any product research and development to carry out its plan of operation. Nor does the Company need to acquire or dispose of any plant and equipment to carry out its plan of operation. The Company believes that its number of employees will remain at three, although it has entered into arrangements with two independent contractors who will be paid on a commission only basis based on referrals.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires that all derivative financial instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. SFAS No. 133, which was effective for the first quarter of 2001, has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operation, financial position or cash flows.

In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. "SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles, effective January 1, 2002. Management does not believe that the adoption of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a liability for the estimated cost of disposal as part of the initial cost of a long-lived asset. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 to supply a single accounting approach for measuring impairment of long-lived assets, including segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation or those to be sold or disposed of other than by sale. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 in 2003 and SFAS No. 144 in 2002. Management believes that the adoption of these pronouncements on the Company's financial statements will not have a material impact on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Factors that May Affect Future Results of Operations

This report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our future results of operations could vary significantly from the results anticipated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth as follows and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-KSB.

POSSIBLE DISCONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS.

Management's expectation is that if the plan of operation that it is currently investigating does not prove to be viable in 2002, the Company will discontinue operations during the year ending December 31, 2003. If the plan is successful, management does not believe the Company will require additional capital to continue operations after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company has no current plan to raise additional capital. If the Company ceases business operations and liquidates during the year ending December 2003, it is probable that the stockholders will not receive any distribution. In the event that the Company discontinues its business during the year ending December 2003, management may seek to engage in a reverse merger transaction rather than liquidate, but no assurance can be provided that it would be successful in doing so or that such a transaction would provide any return to stockholders.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

The business opportunity that management is investigating utilizes the skills of current management. If either of the senior executives of the Company were to terminate his employment with the Company, it would not be possible to pursue this opportunity or to fulfill agreements, if any, that the Company may have entered into with finding qualified replacement personnel. There is a limited number of personnel with the requisite skills to serve in these positions. While the Company has employment agreements with these individuals, such agreements do not guarantee their continued employment. The loss of the services of either of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. The Company does not maintain a key person life insurance policy covering any of its officers.

FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS

The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its quarterly and annual operating results.

POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE AND TRADING VOLUME

The market price and trading volume of the Company's common stock has been volatile. It is likely that the market price and trading volume will continue to be volatile. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for small companies in particular, has experienced extreme price fluctuations (and recently, severe declines) which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Such fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock.

Quantative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

We have considered the provisions of Financial Reporting Release No. 48 "Disclosures of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments, and Disclosures of Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Market Risk Inherent in Derivative Commodity Instruments." We have no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at December 31, 2001.

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To reduce these risks to some extent, we invest excess cash in a managed portfolio of corporate and government bond instruments with maturities of 18 months or less. We do not use any financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


April 15, 2002

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cytation Corporation  (Formerly CollegeLink.com Incorporated)
Bristol, RI,

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cytation Corporation (formerly CollegeLink.com Incorporated) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2000 and for the six-month ended December 31, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 Cytation Corporation (formerly CollegeLink.com Incorporated) at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2000 and for the six-month ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Business

Until June 20, 2001, Cytation Corporation (formerly CollegeLink.com Incorporated) (the "Company") provided an extensive range of in-school and online services directed at high school students and their parents, high school guidance counselors, college admissions officers and corporations which targeted the teen marketplace.

On June 20, 2001, the Company sold substantially all of its assets to TMP Worldwide Inc. ("TMP"). As consideration for the sale, TMP paid the Company approximately $4,202,000 in cash and assumed approximately $3,062,000 of the Company's liabilities. Among the liabilities that TMP assumed were notes issued by the Company to TMP in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. The Company recorded a gain of $778,005 in connection with this transaction. On June 21, 2001, the Company changed its name from CollegeLink.com Incorporated to Cytation Corporation.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     a.  Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     b.  Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years for equipment, auto and furniture. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Whenever assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts. Any gains and losses on dispositions are recorded in current operations.

     c.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

     d.  Income Taxes.  The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

     e.  Advertising Costs.  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs amounted to $131,157, $1,937,095 and $172,244 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and for the six months ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

     f.  Revenue Recognition.  Revenues were recognized when services are performed. For the college and high school programs, the Company recognized revenue over the program life, which generally was five to six months, taking into account the number of presentations completed and to be completed and contracts price. Deferred revenue represented unearned revenue for the uncompleted programs at the balance sheet date based upon number of presentations not yet completed. Prepaid program fees represented fees received in advances for programs not yet started. The Company has had no revenue generating operations since the sale to TMP (see Note 1) although it is exploring business opportunities.

     g.  Employee Stock Options and Shares Issued for Services.  The Company accounts for employee stock transactions in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has adopted the proforma disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, any excess of fair market value of stock issued to employees over exercise prices has been recorded as compensation expense and additional paid in capital.

    h.  Loss Per Share.  The Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 eliminates the presentation of primary and fully dilutive earnings per share ("EPS") and requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and for the six-months ended December 31, 2000 as such inclusion is antidilutive. The computations of basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations were as follows:

     i.  Accounting for Long-Lived Assets.  The Company reviews long-lived assets, certain identifiable assets and any goodwill related to those assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. At December 31, 2000, the Company believed that there was an impairment on its goodwill and other intangible assets (see Note 5 for further discussion). At December 31, 2001, the Company believed that there had been no impairment of its long-lived assets.

     j.  Reporting of Segments.  The Company adopted No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" during the year ended June 30, 1999. SFAS No. 131 establishes the criteria for determining an operating segment and establishes the disclosure requirements for reporting information about operating segments. The Company has determined that under SFAS No. 131, it operates in one segment of service.

     k.  Cash and Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company may have cash balances in the bank in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC through the period.

     l.  Website Development Costs.  The Company follows EITF 00-2 as to its website development costs. EITF 00-2 requires certain website development costs to be expensed and others to be capitalized. The Company capitalized website development costs of $6,810 and $50,100 during the year ended December 31, 2001 and the six months ended December 31, 2000, respectively in accordance with EITF 00-2, respectively. The capitalized costs were payroll and payroll taxes paid to the programmers after the planning stage. The website development costs is amortized over three years. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, June 30, 2000 and the six months ended December 31, 2000 were $ 66,399, $-0- and $66,864, respectively. In June 2001, unamortized development costs with respect to the Company's website which was sold to TMP were approximately $302,000 (see Note 1).

     m.  Cash in Escrow Account.  In connection with the sale to TMP (see Note 1), the Company deposited $420,224 into an interest-bearing escrow account. These funds, net of any claims made against the escrow and paid in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, will be released to the Company in December 2002.

5.   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The carrying value of intangible, as required by Statements of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, is reviewed if the facts and circumstances, such as significant declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or a material adverse change in the business environment indicated that an impairment may have occurred. If there is an indication of such impairment, an evaluation of the estimated cash flows of the related entity is made, and, if impairment is indicated, a write down is made.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, certain identifiable assets and any goodwill related to those assets for impairment whenever the conditions indicated in SFAS No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of , require: a decrease in the market value of an assets, a change in use of the asset, a change in legal factors or business climate, accumulation of costs significantly in excess of original expectations or a current period loss combined with history of losses.

Management does not believe that any these events had occurred by June 30, 2000, and therefore that an impairment analysis was not required under SFAS 121. SFAS No. 121, paragraph 5, sets forth five examples of events or changes in circumstances that would warrant an assessment of assets for possible impairment:

     a.  A significant decrease in the market value of an asset. On June 30, 2000, the Company's management had no compelling reason to believe that there had been a significant decrease in the market value of its assets. To the contrary, management believed that the Company's principal assets had increased in value from the respective dates of their acquisition.

         Internet-related assets - Since acquiring the online division in August 1999, the Company had significantly improved its technology to be compatible with the Internet industry's ever-changing and improving computer technologies. The Company expended significant funds over the period March through August 2000 to revamp and relaunch the collegelink.com website and position its online division to generate revenue. The functionality of the site was expanded in preparation for the September 1, 2000 relaunch to encompass not only college applications but also scholarship and college search capabilities in addition to online student loan applications. The Company had entered into an agreement in August 2000 with industry leader U.S. News & World Report to be that organization's exclusive online provider of college application services (replacing CollegeLink's principal competitor). Moreover, the online division's constituency of 900 college and university customers (colleges that accepted CollegeLink-processed applications) was fully intact on June 30, 2000, and the Company had a full-time sales force of four engaged in onsite college sales calls to strengthen and expand these relationships. Further, the acquisition of Student Success, Inc. created a feeder for the online programs and helped generate an average of 1,400,000 monthly page views for collegelink.com during the ensuing school year, further enhancing the value of the existing intangible.

         Offline assets - The Company's Making It Count division was principally an offline business with a proven revenue generating business model. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had concluded preparations for rolling out its "Making High School Count" Program to reach 700,000 students (an increase of 650,000 students); for launching and receiving sponsorship commitments for its new program, "Making Your College Search Count" (which is expected to reach in excess of 600,000 students during the period January through June 2001); and for expanding its flagship program, "Making College Count", to reach an estimated 700,000 students during the period January through June 2001. This represented growth of approximately 400%.

     b.  A significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used or a significant physical change in an asset. On June 30, 2000, the Company's management did not believe that this indicator was applicable to the Company.

     c.  A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. On June 30, 2000, the Company's management did not believe that this indicator was applicable to the Company.

     d.  An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct an asset. On June 30, 2000, the Company's management did not believe that this indicator was applicable to the Company.

     e.  A current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with an asset used for the purpose of producing revenue. On June 30, 2000, the Company's management did not believe that this indicator was applicable to the Company. The fiscal year commencing July 1, 2000 marked the first time that the programs of the offline and online divisions were synchronized. The Company's previous operating and cash flow losses were in part incurred from the operations of other (now discontinued) businesses or, with respect to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000, were reflective of efforts to consolidate, restructure and integrate two acquired businesses and to follow through on commitments which had been made before their acquisitions. Projections prepared in June 2000 for the offline division indicated revenue in excess of $4,000,000 and positive cash flow. Projections prepared in June 2000 for the online division indicated a significant increase in revenue based on expected growth of the use of the CollegeLink application service (particularly from colleges for whom the Company had developed "back end" private label web application services) and from the sale of data collected online.

The Company's management believed that the decline in the market price of the Company's common stock reflected the market conditions generally and in particular for companies perceived as "dot.com" enterprises which increasingly were viewed critically if they could not demonstrate a revenue producing business model. At June 30, 2000, management believed that CollegeLink was perceived by investors as a "dot.com" enterprise but in fact was in significant part an offline business with a business model in a different industry (self help/motivational) that indicated both revenue and positive cash flow. Accordingly, even if the decline in the market value of the Company's common stock was a criterion for an impairment analysis in SFAS No. 121, the Company's management did not believe that is was reason to find impairment in either the Company's acquired offline division or, given the relaunch of the collegelink.com website and the offline support the Company anticipated would be generated for it through the greatly expanded "Making It Count" programs, for the online division as well.

For similar reasons, the decline of the "dot.com" industry in general, even if the decline in the industry of a company was a criterion for an impairment analysis in SFAS No. 121, there would not have been reason to find impairment in either of the Company's acquired divisions.

During the period ended December 31, 2000, in view of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company as described in Note 1, the Company wrote down its intangible assets to the net proceeds of the sale. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment on its goodwill and other intangible assets of $12,817,556.

Goodwill and other intangible assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 consist of the following:

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, June 30, 2000 and for six months ended December 31, 2000 was $ 137,561, $753,944 and $146,410, respectively. In June 2001, unamortized goodwill approximated $4,108,000 was sold to TMP (see Note 1).

6.  Stockholders' Equity

     a.  Authorized Shares

The Company's authorized shares consists of 110,000,000 shares, divided into 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share.

     b.  Acquisition of Assets

On March 20, 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement with Online Scouting Network, Inc. ("OSN"). The license grants the Company a non-exclusive right to use substantially all of OSN's intellectual property assets, including OSN's databases of student athletes and registered college coaches and OSN's proprietary software. As consideration for the license, the Company paid OSN $260,000 in cash and issued 225,000 shares of its common stock valued at $2.75 per share.

     c.  Shares Issued for Services

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 120,624 shares of its common stock to unrelated parties for marketing and investing services, which shares were recorded at fair market value at the time of the agreements of $1.375 to $2.75 per share. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to an employment agreement.

     d.  Issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock/Purchase of Series A Preferred Stock by
         a Related Entity

In April 1999, the Company received $3,100,000 in exchange for 775,000 shares of 6% cumulative preferred stock designated as "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" ("Preferred A") from two investors. "Preferred A" has a stated value of $4.00 per share, a par value of $.01 per share and dividends payable quarterly. Any holder of Preferred A may at any time convert stock into the common stock of the Company at a ratio of one share of common stock for each share of Preferred A. The Company may require conversion on or after the first anniversary of the initial purchase if the closing bid price for its common shares exceeds $6.00 for twenty consecutive trading days.

If a special event occurs, as defined, the holders of the issued and outstanding Preferred A are entitled to receive $4.00 for each share of Preferred A, before any distribution of the assets of the Company shall be made to the holders of any other capital stock.

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued additional 365,000 shares of its Preferred A for $1,484,980.

On November 2, 2001, a related entity, owned equally by two officers of the Company, acquired 1,025,000 shares of Preferred A from three holders (the "Holders") for an aggregate purchase price of $10,250. The Holders waived their right to any unpaid dividends. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued to the Holders two-year warrants to purchase 1,025,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (see j. below). Such warrants are valued under Black-Scholes method. This related entity also issued to the Company a two-year warrant to purchase 1,025,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

     e.  Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In September 1999, the Company received $4,000,000 in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of 6% cumulative preferred stock designated as "Series C Convertible Preferred Stock" ("Preferred C") from PNC Bank Corp. Preferred C has a stated value of $4.00 per share, a par value of $0.01 per share and dividends payable quarterly. The Preferred C holder has the similar preference of Preferred A (see d. above).

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company acquired all 1,000,000 shares of the Preferred C for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000. The original holder waived its right to any unpaid dividend.

     f.  Business Acquisitions

On August 10, 1999, the Company acquired ECI, Inc. ("ECI") through a merger transaction. As consideration for the merger, the Company issued 550,809 shares of its common stock, 234,771 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred B") and paid $489 in cash. The Company also assumed approximately $800,000 of ECI's liabilities in connection with the merger. In addition, the Company settled a claim against ECI in exchange for 108,196 shares of the Company's common stock and 45,000 shares of Preferred B. The total purchase price of approximately $8,000,000 included 659,005 shares of common stock, valued at $4.375 per share, 279,771 shares of Preferred B, valued at $4,175,000, assumption of liabilities and acquisition costs of approximately $180,000. The purchase price was allocated principally to goodwill, which the Company amortized over 15 years. Subject to certain terms and conditions, each share of Preferred B is convertible to such number of common stock as is determined by dividing $15 by the Conversion Price, as defined. In August 2000, 279,771 shares of Preferred B were converted to 550,392 shares of the Company's common stock.

On February 17, 2000, the Company acquired Student Success, Inc. ("SSI") through a merger transaction. As consideration for the merger, the Company issued 1,625,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $3.5625 per share, and $2,600,000 in cash to two stockholders/officers of SSI (the "Former Stockholders"). The Company also assumed approximately $200,000 of SSI's liabilities and incurred acquisition costs of approximately $55,000 in connection with the merger. The purchase price of approximately $9,000,000 was allocated principally to goodwill, which the Company amortized over 15 years. In addition, the Company entered into employment agreements with the Former Stockholders, whereby the Company granted each an option to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $4.00 per share.

Both acquisitions were being accounted for using the purchase method. The operations of ECI and SSI have been included in the accompanying statements of operations since August 11, 1999 and February 18, 2000, respectively. The unaudited results of operations as if ECI and SSI had been acquired at the beginning of fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 are as follows:

For the Year Ended
        June 30, 2000       

Net revenues

                    $2,601,817

Net loss

                    $8,265,425

Net loss per share

                       ($0.76)

     g.  Public Offering

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock, whereby the Company sold 2,530,000 shares at $4.00 per share, less underwriting and commission expenses. The Company incurred approximately $1,200,000 of direct expenses in connection with this offering.

     h.  Shares Issued for Settlement

On October 5, 2000, the Company settled a possible claim by several Preferred A holders, whereby the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to these holders, reduced the exercise price of 23,000 previously issued warrants from $4.00 to $1.45 per share, and granted an additional warrant to one of the holder to purchase 10,000 common shares at $1.45 per share (see j. below).

     i.  Purchase of Treasury Stock

In a separate transaction that closed on the same day as the sale to assets to TMP (see Note 1), the Company paid approximately $849,000 to two former officers in consideration of consulting fees, bonuses and the redemption of 1,625,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Such shares were canceled immediately.

     j.  Options and Warrants

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company granted certain employees and directors options to purchase 23,597,326 shares of its common stock at exercise price $0.001 per share, which was below the market value of the stock on the grant date. Accordingly, the Company recorded compensation costs of $212,376.

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company granted certain employees and directors options to purchase 2,027,963 shares of its common stock with exercise prices equal to or greater than the market value of the stock at the grant date. In addition, the Company granted to its employees five-year options to purchase 165,000 shares of its common stock with an exercise price less than market value. As a result, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $178,125 and recognized $26,241 in compensation expenses for these options. Furthermore, the Company granted certain consultants options to purchase 98,320 shares of its common stock at exercise price ranging from $4.00 to $7.625 per share. Accordingly, the Company recorded consulting fees of $262,949 based on the Black-Scholes Option Price Model.

During the six months ended December 31, 2000, the Company granted to its employees five-year options to purchase 140,176 of its common stock with an exercise price less than market value. As a result, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $86,208 and recognized $86,208 in compensation expenses for these options.

The remaining deferred compensation will be amortization over the vesting period. In June 2001, in connection with the sale of assets to TMP (see Note 1), all unvested options become vested, canceled or expired.

Weighted average exercise prices for options outstanding at December 31, 2001, June 30, 2000 and December 31, 2000 was $5.18, $3.98 and $4.15, respectively. Total exercisable options at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was 175,000 shares, 632,157shares and 1,829,932 shares, respectively.

If the Company recognized compensation cost for the employee stock option plan in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net loss and loss per share would have been approximately, $2,896,000, $8,429,000 and $17,302,000, and $0.15, $0.78 and $1.15, respectively, in the years ended December 31, 2001, June 30, 2000 and in the six months ended December 31, 2000.

7.   Commitments and Contingencies

     a.  The Company has a two-year lease agreement expiring on December 31, 2002. The future minimum rental payments to be made under this noncancellable operating lease as of December 31, 2001 were $23,184.

On December 1, 2000, the Company entered into a Lease Surrender and Termination Agreement with the former landlord with respect to its former office space. The Company paid a termination fee of $50,969 and forfeited a security deposit of $33,494. In addition, the Company wrote-off leasehold improvements of approximately $106,000.

The Company's lease of its former premises in Ohio was assumed by TMP (see Note 1).

Rent expense was approximately $63,000, $140,000 and $86,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, June 30, 2000 and for the six months ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

     b.  Effective July 1, 2001, the Company entered into three-year employment agreements with two officers who are principal stockholders of the Company. These agreements replaced employment agreements entered into in 1999. As of December 31, 2001, total future commitments under these two employment agreements approximated $1,500,000 payable through June 30, 2003.

     c.  On March 20, 2000, the Company entered into a forty-two (42) month agreement with a consultant to provide services as requested by the Company at the rate of $133,000 a year through September 1, 2000 and $54,000 annually through September 1, 2003, plus stock option and other benefits. In February 2002, the consultant filed a demand for arbitration arising under his termination of the consulting agreement and other matters in which he claimed that the Company owed him $239,059, plus interest. The Company has denied any liability and intends to vigorously defend itself against all of the claims raised in the demand for arbitration.

     d.  In October 2001, the Company settled a purported class action lawsuit filed against the Company in April 2001 by a small group of its stockholders. The settlement amount was $400,000, of which the Company's insurance company contributed $200,000.

8.  Sales of Business Units

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company sold its web hosting and online training businesses resulting for a gain of $513,716. Revenue from web hosting and online training businesses during the year ended June 30, 2000 was $110,066 and $162,962, respectively.

9.  Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 2001 and 2000 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,000,000 and $15,500,000, expiring through 2021. SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax asset was recorded because of operating losses incurred and the uncertainties as to the amount of taxable income that would be generated in the future years.

The components of the net deferred tax asset consist of the following:

10.  Accounting Developments

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which requires that all derivative financial instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. SFAS No. 133, which was effective for the first quarter of 2001, has not had a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles, effective January 1, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of these pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a liability for the estimated cost of disposal as part of the initial cost of a long-lived asset. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 to supply a single accounting approach for measuring impairment of long-lived assets, including segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation or those to be sold or disposed of other than by sale. The Company believes that adopting these pronouncements on its financial statements will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Employment Agreements

On October 15, 2001, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved employment agreements for Richard A. Fisher, the Company's chairman and general counsel, and Kevin J. High, the Company's president. The Compensation Committee consists of two independent directors of the Company. Each agreement superseded a prior employment agreement entered into on February 11, 1999 and was entered into by the Company to induce each of Mr. Fisher and Mr. High to remain with the Company in an executive capacity after the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets to TMP.

Mr. Fisher's employment agreement is for a term of three years, retroactive to July 1, 2001, except that it terminates earlier upon his death, complete disability or resignation with or without good reason, or upon termination by the Company with or without cause. The agreement provides for base compensation of $300,000 per year, of which $200,000 is paid currently and of which $100,000 is earned and accrued by the Company currently but paid at such time as the escrow established in connection with the TMP transaction is terminated or expires or sufficient cash otherwise becomes available. As an inducement for Mr. Fisher to continue his employment with the Company, the agreement also provided for an advance in the amount of $375,000 which is converted to a continuation bonus on January 2, 2003 should Mr. Fisher be an employee of the Company on such date, unless certain events occur before such date as provided in the agreement. The Company accounts for this advance as deferred compensation. The agreement provided for the reduction in the exercise price of 514,406 previously granted options to $.001 per share and for the grant of 10,318,508 additional stock options, also at $.001 per share. The agreement also provided for an advance of $50,000 in lieu of Mr. Fisher's participation in any Company retirement plans in the year 2001, which amount is earned if Mr. Fisher is employed full time by the Company on February 1, 2002. The agreement also provided for the payment by the Company of health insurance benefits, long-term disability insurance premiums and life insurance premiums.

If there is a change of control, as defined, of the Company during periods prescribed by the agreement, the Company is required to pay to Mr. Fisher an amount equal to 2.99 times his base salary.

Mr. Fisher agreed that he will not compete with the Company or engage in certain other practices relating to the Company's business during his employment and for one year thereafter.

Mr. Fisher entered into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement with TMP as an inducement for TMP to purchase the Company's assets, for which he was not separately compensated.

Mr. High's employment agreement is for a term of three years, retroactive to July 1, 2001, except that it terminates earlier upon his death, complete disability or resignation with or without good reason, or upon termination by the Company with or without cause. The agreement provides for base compensation of $300,000 per year, of which $200,000 is paid currently and of which $100,000 is earned and accrued by the Company currently but paid at such time as the escrow established in connection with the TMP transaction is terminated or expires or sufficient cash otherwise becomes available. As an inducement for Mr. High to continue his employment with the Company, the agreement also provided for an advance in the amount of $225,000 which is converted to a continuation bonus on January 2, 2003 should Mr. High be an employee of the Company on such date, unless certain events occur before such date as provided in the agreement. The Company accounts for this advance as deferred compensation. The agreement provided for the reduction in the exercise price of 514,412 previously granted options to $.001 per share and for the grant of 10,000,000 additional stock options, also at $.001 per share. The agreement also provided for the payment by the Company of health insurance benefits, long-term disability insurance premiums and life insurance premiums.

If there is a change of control, as defined, of the Company during periods prescribed by the agreement, the Company is required to pay to Mr. High an amount equal to 2.99 times his base salary.

Mr. High agreed that he will not compete with the Company or engage in certain other practices relating to the Company's business during his employment and for one year thereafter.

In fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, Bristol Harbor Investments, LLC ("Bristol Harbor"), formerly known as Cytation LLC, acquired 1,025,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock") from three holders ("Holders") for an aggregate purchase price of $10,250. Bristol Harbor is owned equally by Richard A. Fisher, the Company's chairman, and Kevin J. High, the Company's president. In connection with this purchase, the Company issued to the Holders two year warrants to purchase 1,025,000 shares of its common stock for $.01 per share, and Bristol Harbor issued to the Company a warrant to purchase 1,025,000 shares of common stock of the Company owned or acquirable by it for $.01 per share.
