                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     This summary does not include all of the information that may be important
to you. You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes,
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, all
information in this prospectus assumes the underwriters will not exercise their
over-allotment option.


     On November 16, 1999, we changed our name to CollegeLink.com Incorporated
from Cytation.com Incorporated and changed our state of incorporation to
Delaware from New York.



                          COLLEGELINK.COM INCORPORATED


OUR COMPANY


     We provide college bound students and their families with a range of
solutions to the challenges of the college admission process, from college
selection to submission of college, financial aid, and scholarship applications.
We have recently entered into an agreement to acquire a related business,
Student Success, Inc., and a letter of intent to acquire another related
business, Online Scouting Network, Inc.



     We have developed an Internet hub with a college application, financial aid
and scholarship service. We expect that nearly all applications will be
submitted by computer within the next several years because of increasing
student computer literacy and the significant financial and administrative
benefits to colleges and universities of receiving applications electronically.
In addition, through the Making College Count(R) and Making High School
Count(TM) programs, we help prepare students for success in college.



     We also continuously obtain demographic and other information which can be
used by students, their families, colleges and other service providers to assist
in the college admissions process and enhance the entire college experience. Due
to the volume of college bound students who visit our Internet hub, we are
developing an attractive e-commerce location for students and their families.


     CollegeLink.com.  Through CollegeLink.com, and its relationships with more
than 900 colleges and universities, we are a leading provider of computer-based
college applications and admissions services to college bound students and their
families.

     Student Success.  Student Success is a leading provider of onsite high
school and college preparatory programs for students and their families under
its Making College Count(R) and Making High School Count(TM) trademarks. Through
this channel, we intend to continue to expand our presence and awareness of our
services with high school students. Student Success presented its seminars to
more than 225,000 students at more than 900 high schools and junior colleges
nationwide last year. These programs were sponsored by eight major consumer
products companies.


     Online Scouting Network.  Online Scouting Network is a leading provider of
online recruiting services offering student athletes greater visibility to more
than 3,000 college and university professionals. For the school year ended June
1999, more than 25,000 high school students from over 600 high schools
nationwide were registered with Online Scouting Network.


OUR RELATIONSHIPS


     We have entered into agreements and developed relationships with more than
900 colleges and universities that accept applications in their respective
formats through CollegeLink(R). A complete list of these colleges and
universities is included in this prospectus.



     We have an agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., one of the largest student loan
providers in the United States, to provide certain financial products and
services to college bound students and their families through our
CollegeLink.com Internet hub. PNC Investment Corp., an affiliate of PNC Bank,
has made a $4,000,000 investment in our company.


                                        3
<PAGE>   6


     We have an exclusive agreement with The College Board(R) to provide
electronic college applications through The College Board's ExPAN(R) guidance
software. The College Board(R) is a membership organization of colleges and
secondary schools and is the provider of the SAT(R) and the AP(R) Exams.



     We also have co-marketing relationships with Student Advantage, Inc. and
FastWeb.com L.L.C. and are negotiating similar relationships with other
Web-based businesses including The FamilyEducation Company. We are continually
seeking appropriate relationships to expand our service and product offerings.


OUR MARKET

     There are about 14.8 million high school students in the United States.
According to the U.S. census bureau, this number will increase to 15.7 million
over the next 5 years. Each year about 3.2 million students enter colleges and
universities for the first time. Of these about 2.2 million apply as first time
freshman to undergraduate colleges and universities. The remaining students
apply to continuing education programs of various sorts.


     Each year about 2.2 million applicants submit more than seven million
applications for undergraduate admission to nearly 3,400 U.S. colleges and
universities. Over 50% of these students apply for some form of financial aid.
According to the Department of Education, it is expected that the total number
of college bound students will continue to increase each year for the
foreseeable future. Based on industry statistics, we believe colleges spend
about $3 billion annually to recruit and enroll students.


OUR STRATEGY

     Our strategy is to build upon the thousands of relationships we have
developed with high school guidance counselors and college admissions
professionals through one-on-one marketing efforts. We plan to build our brand,
reach increasing numbers of high school and college students, and drive traffic
to our Internet hub. Our objectives are to:


     Expand our market leadership position.  We intend to leverage our
relationships with more than 3,000 high schools and more than 900 colleges and
universities to establish new affiliations, attract additional students to our
website, and create a premier Internet hub for college bound students. We plan
to continue to add high schools, colleges and universities through on campus
direct sales calls by sales personnel, corporate sponsorships, direct mailings,
targeted periodical advertising, online and broadcast advertising, partnerships
and various promotional campaigns.



     Expand existing brand awareness.  We intend to build upon our established
brands and our relationships with PNC Bank, N.A., The College Board(R), Student
Advantage, Inc., FastWeb.com L.L.C., The FamilyEducation Company and others to
establish CollegeLink.com as a leading Internet hub and e-commerce site.


     Capitalize on our strong high school presence.  Each year, The College
Board(R) distributes our CollegeLink(R) software with its ExPAN(R) guidance
software to about 2,000 high schools nationwide. Last school year, Making
College Count(R) presented at more than 900 high schools and junior colleges and
Online Scouting Network registered athletes from about 600 high schools. We
intend to grow our presence in the high school market through expansion of these
programs.

     Develop strategic web partnerships.  We have initiated a web partnership
program to co-brand our products and services on targeted high school and
college-related high traffic web sites and add content to our Internet hub.

     Overcome resistance to online applications.  We believe many college bound
students and their families perceive that colleges and universities prefer
applications that are submitted on the institution's specific format.
CollegeLink(R) software is the only program currently available that permits
students to enter general information only once and still deliver to each
institution an application in that institution's

                                        4

own format. We believe this feature gives us a significant competitive advantage
and we intend to promote it to increase use of our services.


     Our executive offices are located at 55 Hammarlund Way, Middletown, Rhode
Island 02482 and our telephone number is (401) 845-8800. Our web site is located

                                  RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our
business before purchasing any of our common stock. If any of the following
events actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of
operations would likely suffer. In this case, the market price of our common
stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our
common stock.

                         RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

OUR BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING
HISTORY AS AN INTERNET COMPANY.

     One of our predecessor entities established the CollegeLink business in
1991. While we previously sold CollegeLink(R) as a computer-based service, we
are converting this business to an Internet-based service. Accordingly, the
CollegeLink business in its current form has only a very limited operating
history on which you can base your evaluation of this business. As a result, you
will find it difficult to predict our future revenues or results. In addition,
you must consider our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties
encountered by companies in an early stage of development in a new and rapidly
evolving market such as the market for Internet-based services.

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN PROFITABLE AND MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.


     Each of our predecessors has incurred significant losses in every fiscal
period since inception. Since our recent mergers with each of these
corporations, we have continued to incur losses in the CollegeLink.com business
and our other businesses. We incurred net losses of $630,332 in fiscal 1998,
$2,586,425 in fiscal 1999 and $1,361,141 for the quarter ended September 30,
1999. As of June 30, 1999, we had a pro forma net loss of $6,154,936. We expect
to continue to experience losses at least for the foreseeable future, and we
cannot be certain when we will become profitable, if at all. Our failure to
achieve and maintain profitability could adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.


WE FACE COMPETITION FROM COMPANIES OPERATING BUSINESSES SIMILAR TO OURS, AND OUR
FAILURE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WITH OUR CURRENT OR FUTURE COMPETITORS COULD
MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.


     The market in which CollegeLink(R) operates is very competitive. We face
direct competition from a number of sources, the most significant of which are
Apply!, Embark.com (formerly CollegeEdge), CollegeNet, CollegeQuest and XAP.
Apply!, owned by The Princeton Review, provides a CD-based college application
product to students, primarily through a high school distribution scheme.
Embark.com, CollegeNet, CollegeQuest and XAP are Internet companies which allow
students to complete and submit college applications electronically. Our
CollegeLink(R) service also faces competition from traditional print media
companies such as The Princeton Review, Petersons, a subsidiary of Thorne
Publishing, and Kaplan Educational Centers, which provide offline information
and resources such as self help guides on college admission and selection, and
from software companies already providing packaged software to educational
institutions and professionals. Some of these companies have already moved to
provide these resources on the Internet. We also face competition from
educational not-for-profit and membership organizations such as ACT and The
College Board(R) which already provide significant online information and other
resources to students. The College Board(R) has recently announced plans to
provide a broad range of college admissions, test preparation and related
services on the Internet.



     Student Success faces competition from a variety of sources including other
providers of self-help and educational programs such as Kaplan, Barrons,
Princeton Review, Houghton Mifflin and Learning Forum. The market in which
Online Scouting Network operates is also competitive. We are aware of three
significant competitors in its market: Athletes Online, All-statersports.com and
Recruit. These companies provide online college athletic recruitment information
and services. While we have established relationships with more than 900
colleges and universities and will have significant exposure to large numbers of
high school students and their families through our acquisitions of Student
Success and Online Scouting Network, we expect that these factors will not
prevent additional competitors from entering the

                                        7
<PAGE>   10


markets in which we operate with competing products and services. Our current or
future competitors may have greater resources, including contacts in the
educational industry, than we currently have at our disposal. Our competitors
may be more able to react more quickly to changes in technology in our industry
and/or to expend greater time and funds than we can to develop and promote their
products or services. Increased competition could result in pricing pressures,
reduced margins or the failure of our products and services to achieve or
maintain market acceptance. If we cannot compete effectively with current or
future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.


STUDENTS MAY BE RELUCTANT TO SUBMIT COMPUTER-BASED APPLICATIONS AND ANY
DIFFICULTY CONVINCING STUDENTS TO USE OUR SERVICE COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.

     College bound students may not feel comfortable using our products.
Students may feel that applications submitted electronically will not receive
the same treatment as traditional applications, they may feel insecure about
relying on an intermediary for submitting applications, or they may be unwilling
to pay the additional fees we charge for processing applications. Any of these
factors could inhibit development of a market for CollegeLink(R). If we have
difficulty developing a viable market for CollegeLink(R), our business and
operating results could be materially adversely affected.

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES MAY BE UNWILLING TO DESIGNATE COLLEGELINK(R) AS A
PREFERRED OR EVEN AN ACCEPTABLE ONLINE FILING SERVICE.

     Various colleges and universities may not wish to establish a special
relationship with any particular online application service or they may not be
willing to accept online filing from any service. The adoption of such a policy
by a significant number of these institutions could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

FAILURE TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH FURTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES OR TO
MAINTAIN OUR EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN OUR
MARKET.

     We believe our ability to successfully compete in the online college
application market is dependent upon our ability to enter into new relationships
with colleges not currently accepting CollegeLink(R) applications and to
maintain our existing relationships with a large number of colleges and
universities. If we are unable to continue to enter into new relationships with
colleges and universities not currently accepting CollegeLink(R) applications,
the growth of our business could be inhibited. Our failure to maintain our
existing relationships with colleges and universities for any reason could cause
us to lose existing and potential customers. A loss of customers or restrictions
on our ability to grow our business could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.

OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE OUR EXPANDING OPERATIONS SUCCESSFULLY COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.


     If we are to be successful, we must expand our operations. We have
experienced significant growth in our expenses and employee base as a result of
acquisitions. This growth creates new and increased management and training
responsibilities for our employees. This growth also increases the demands on
our internal systems, procedures and controls, and on our managerial,
administrative, financial, marketing and other resources. We depend heavily upon
the managerial, operational and administrative skills of our officers to manage
this growth. Nonetheless, new responsibilities and demands may adversely affect
the overall quality of our work. Any failure on our part to improve our internal
systems, procedures and controls, to attract, train, motivate, supervise and
retain additional professional, managerial, administrative, financial, marketing
and other personnel, or otherwise to manage growth successfully could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.


                                        8
<PAGE>   11

WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY INTEGRATING THE BUSINESSES OF ECI, STUDENT SUCCESS AND
OTHER BUSINESSES WHICH WE EXPECT TO ACQUIRE.


     On August 10, 1999, we acquired ECI, Inc., now renamed CollegeLink
Corporation. CollegeLink Corporation provides online college admission,
scholarship and financial aid application services. On October 20, 1999, we
signed an agreement to acquire Student Success, Inc. Student Success offers
onsite high school and college preparatory programs for students and their
families under its Making College Count(R) and Making High School Count(TM)
trademarks. On August 18, 1999, we signed a letter of intent to acquire Online
Scouting Network, Inc., an Internet-based company that operates the Online
Scouting Network and provides student-athlete recruiting services at its web
site, http://www.osn.com. Both of our pending acquisitions are subject, among
other things, to certain usual and customary closing conditions. No assurance
can be given to you that we will complete these acquisitions.



     We cannot assure you that we will be able to absorb and effectively manage
the acquisition of ECI and, assuming their completion, the acquisitions of
Student Success and Online Scouting Network. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to develop, market and sell our CollegeLink(R) products and
services and the products and services of Student Success and Online Scouting
Network successfully. The difficulty and management distraction inherent in
integrating each acquired business, the substantial charges expected to be
incurred in connection with each acquisition, including costs of integrating
each business and transaction expenses arising from each acquisition, the risks
of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience, the
potential loss of key employees of each acquired company and the risk that the
benefits sought in each acquisition will not be fully achieved, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.


WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON CERTAIN KEY PERSONNEL WHOSE SERVICES COULD BE DIFFICULT TO
REPLACE.


     Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills,
experience and efforts of our key executive officers and key marketing and
management personnel such as our Chairman, Richard Fisher, and Thomas Burgess,
who has run the operations of CollegeLink Corporation since January 1999, all of
whom currently devote their full time to our business and would be difficult to
replace if they left our employment. While we have employment agreements with
the foregoing individuals, such agreements do not guarantee their continued
employment with us. While we also have noncompetition agreements with these
individuals, there is no assurance that the noncompetition agreements will be
enforceable. The loss of the services of any of the foregoing individuals could
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition. We do not currently maintain a key person life insurance policy
covering any of our officers.


OUR INABILITY TO HIRE AND RETAIN SKILLED PERSONNEL COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     Qualified personnel are in great demand throughout the software and
Internet start-up industries. Our success depends in large part upon our ability
to attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled sales and marketing
personnel, web designers, software engineers and other senior personnel. Our
inability to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel that are
integral to our direct sales, product development, service and support teams may
limit the rate at which we can generate sales and develop new products and
services or product and service enhancements. This could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

SEASONAL FACTORS MAY CAUSE OUR OPERATING RESULTS TO FLUCTUATE AND WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUE IN CERTAIN PERIODS TO OFFSET EXPENSES IN
THOSE PERIODS.


     Because our CollegeLink business derives a substantial portion of its
revenues from the college application process which occurs in the fall, winter,
and early spring, revenue from our CollegeLink(R) products and services has
historically been much lower during the late spring and summer months, and we
expect this trend to continue. In addition, revenues for student loan
applications are also seasonal. We expect most of these revenues to be received
between July and December. This seasonality of the


                                        9
<PAGE>   12


CollegeLink business may cause our revenue and operating results to fluctuate
significantly in the future and to be difficult to predict. In such an event,
the price of our common stock could decline.


IF OUR ONLINE SERVERS BECAME UNAVAILABLE, WE COULD LOSE CUSTOMERS.

     We could lose existing or potential customers for our online CollegeLink(R)
business if they do not have ready access to our online servers, or if our
online servers and computer systems do not perform reliably and to our
customers' satisfaction. Network interruptions or other computer system
shortcomings, such as inadequate capacity, could reduce customer satisfaction
with our services or prevent customers from accessing our services and seriously
damage our reputation.

     As the number of students and colleges and universities using
CollegeLink(R) online increases, we will need to expand and upgrade the
technology underlying our CollegeLink(R) services. We may be unable to predict
accurately changes in the volume of user traffic and therefore may be unable to
expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure in time to avoid system
interruptions. System interruptions will affect the quality of our services we
provide to our existing customers and may cause us to lose customers. In
addition, we may need to divert significant resources to expand and upgrade our
existing systems and infrastructure to meet any increase in user demand. This
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

     Although we are planning to provide a redundant server capability in
another geographic area, all of our computer and communications equipment is
currently located in Newport, Rhode Island. This equipment is vulnerable to
interruption or damage from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure
and earthquake. Some of the components of our computer and communication systems
do not have immediate automatic backup equipment. The failure of any of these
components could result in down time for our server and could seriously harm our
business. Our property damage and business interruption insurance may not
protect us from any loss that we may suffer.

     Our computer and communications systems are also vulnerable to computer
viruses, physical or electronic break-in and other disruptions. These problems
could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the ineffective operation
of our server. Any of these outcomes could seriously harm our business.

WE COULD LOSE REVENUE AND INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS IF OUR SYSTEMS OR MATERIAL
THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS ARE NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT.

     Many currently installed computer systems and software products accept only
two digits to identify the year in any date. Thus, the year 2000 will appear as
"00," which a system or software might consider to be the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This error could result in system failures, delays or
miscalculations that disrupt our operations. The failure of our internal
systems, the systems of any companies we acquire, or any material third-party
systems, to be year 2000 compliant could result in significant liabilities and
could seriously harm our business.


     We have conducted a review of our business systems, including our computer
systems. We have taken steps to remedy potential problems, but have not yet
developed a comprehensive year 2000 contingency plan. There can be no assurance
that we have identified all year 2000 problems in our computer systems before
they occur or that we will be able to remedy any problems that are discovered.



     We have also asked many of our customers, vendors and resellers about their
progress in identifying and addressing problems that their computer systems may
face in correctly interrelating and processing date information as the year 2000
approaches and is reached. We have received responses from several of these
parties, but there can be no assurance that we will identify all such year 2000
problems in the computer systems of our customers, vendors or resellers before
they occur or that we will be able to remedy any problems that are discovered.


     Our efforts to identify and address year 2000 problems, and the expenses we
may incur as a result of such problems, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect that
costs to address the year 2000 issue, directly or indirectly, will total about
                                       10
<PAGE>   13

$15,000, the majority of which was spent in fiscal 1998 and 1999, with the
remainder being spent during fiscal 2000. To date, we have incurred expenses of
about $12,000 related to the assessment of and preliminary efforts in dealing
with the year 2000 issue. We cannot assure you that these costs will not be
significantly higher.

     In addition, the revenue stream and financial stability of existing
customers may be adversely impacted by year 2000 problems, which could cause
fluctuations in our revenue. If we fail to identify and remedy year 2000
problems, we could also be at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies
that have corrected such problems. It is also possible that concerns over year
2000 problems could cause potential customers for our products and services to
lose confidence in computer-based solutions to college applications needs. Any
of these outcomes could have significant adverse effects on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.


WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT ADEQUATELY OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND
ASSERTING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY SUBJECT US TO LITIGATION WHICH
COULD HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS.



     The unauthorized reproduction or other misappropriation of our proprietary
technology or use of our other intellectual property rights could enable third
parties to benefit from our technology and other intellectual property rights
without paying us for it. This could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.


     Although we have taken steps to protect our proprietary technology and
other intellectual property, they may be inadequate. We do not know whether we
will be able to defend our proprietary rights because the validity,
enforceability and scope of protection of proprietary rights in Internet-related
industries are uncertain and still evolving. Moreover, the laws of some foreign
countries are uncertain and may not protect intellectual property rights to the
same extent as the laws of the United States.

     If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property
rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive and could involve a
high degree of risk.

WE MAY FACE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT AND OTHER CLAIMS FROM THIRD
PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY WHICH COULD REQUIRE US TO
INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND DIVERT OUR RESOURCES FROM OUR BUSINESS.

     Although we attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third
parties, we are subject to the risk of claims alleging infringement of third
party proprietary rights. If we were to discover that any of our products
violated third party proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that we would
be able to obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms to continue offering
the product without substantial reengineering or that any effort to undertake
such reengineering would be successful. We do not conduct comprehensive patent
searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes
patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently
uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be
numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed,
with regard to similar technologies.


     Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs
defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract
our management from our business for periods of time. Furthermore, a party
making such a claim could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial
damages. A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that
could prevent us from selling our products or services. Any of these events
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.


                                       11

                         RISKS RELATING TO OUR INDUSTRY

WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF THE INTERNET AND ANY DECREASE IN CONSUMER
USE OF THE INTERNET OR THE GROWTH OF THE INTERNET COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     Our ability to generate revenues is substantially dependent upon continued
growth in the acceptance and use of the Internet and the infrastructure for
providing Internet access and carrying Internet traffic. We cannot be certain
that the necessary infrastructure or complementary products or services will be
developed or that the Internet will prove to be a viable commercial marketplace.
To the extent that the Internet continues to experience significant growth in
the level of use and the number of users, there can be no assurance that the
infrastructure will continue to be able to support the demands placed upon it by
such potential growth. In addition, delays in the development or adoption of new
standards or protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity,
increased governmental regulation or taxation of Internet commerce may restrict
the growth of the Internet. If the necessary infrastructure or complementary
products and services are not developed or if the Internet does not become a
viable commercial marketplace, it would have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED BY THE SECURITY RISKS RELATED TO INTERNET COMMERCE.

     A significant barrier to submission of personal data in college
applications over the Internet is the secure transmission of confidential
information over public networks. Internet companies rely on encryption and
authentication technology to provide the security and authentication necessary
to effect secure transmission of confidential information. There can be no
assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field
of cryptography or other developments will not result in a compromise or breach
of the algorithms used by companies to protect consumer transaction data. If any
such compromise of this security were to occur, it could have a material adverse
effect on our potential clients, business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations. A party who is able to circumvent security measures could
misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in operations. We
may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect
against such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches.

     Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and
the privacy of users may also hinder the growth of online services generally. To
the extent that our activities or third-party contractors involve the storage
and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, or
personal data information, security breaches could damage our reputation and
expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. We cannot be
sure that our security measures will not prevent security breaches or that
failure to prevent such security breaches will not have a material adverse
effect on our business.


                        RISKS RELATING TO THIS OFFERING



OUR OFFERING HAS NOT BEEN "APPROVED" BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.



     On October 29, 1999, Mr. High, our former President, granted an interview
to StockHouse.com, a Canadian Internet provider of stock market information.
This interview was posted on the StockHouse.com website from October 29, 1999
through November 11, 1999. In the first paragraph of this interview, the
interviewer wrote, "with an approved . . . filing with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission . . ." NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR
ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THIS OFFERING OR
DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.


                                       12
<PAGE>   15


INACCURATE STATEMENTS MADE IN AN INTERVIEW BY MR. HIGH, OUR FORMER PRESIDENT,
CONCERNING OUR BUSINESS COULD MISLEAD INVESTORS.



     On October 29, 1999, Mr. High granted an interview to StockHouse.com, a
Canadian Internet provider of stock market information. This interview was
posted on the StockHouse.com website from October 29, 1999 through November 11,
1999 and contained a number of statements, attributed to Mr. High, which are not
accurate or with which we do not agree. You should not rely upon the statements
made by Mr. High in this interview in making a decision to invest in our
company. You should rely exclusively on the information provided in this
prospectus.



     Mr. High said that $15 per share was a "realistic" stock price and that a
$150,000,000 market capitalization for our company was "still too cheap." These
statements reflect Mr. High's personal views. We believe that per share price
and market capitalization are sensitive to many factors including, among others,
our performance, general market conditions, general economic conditions, and the
performance of our competitors. We do not know what share price is realistic or
what share price will be realistic at the time of the offering.



     The interviewer describes Online Scouting Network, Inc. as having "the
nation's largest database of high school athletic talent." We do not know
whether or not Online Scouting Network has the nation's largest database of
highschool athletic talent. We have recently entered into a letter of intent to
acquire Online Scouting Network, Inc. We are currently negotiating a definitive
agreement with Online Scouting Network. We can provide no assurance that we will
be able to complete the proposed acquisition. Furthermore, it is our policy not
to comment on the status of ongoing negotiations.



     Mr. High said that we were "the only one that is on America Online." While
our software is available through America Online, we do not have a sole or
exclusive arrangement with America Online. Although we are pleased to have this
relationship with America Online, we do not believe it is material to our
business.



     Mr. High said that we would be profitable in 24 months and that our
revenues would triple from the year 2000 to the year 2001. These statements
reflect Mr. High's personal views and do not reflect our views. We do not have
projections that we consider sufficiently reliable for public disclosure
concerning when we expect to achieve profitability or what our revenue growth
will be. We believe that profitability and revenue growth are sensitive to many
factors including, among others, acceptance of our products and services,
execution of our business plan, performance of our competitors, general market
conditions, and general economic conditions. We do not know when, or if, we will
be profitable or at what rate revenues will grow.



     Mr. High said that our ultimate goal is to have every college in the world
using CollegeLink(R) within the next "couple of years." He also said that we are
going to dominate our market and that we are the biggest in our industry. These
statements reflect Mr. High's personal views and do not reflect our view.
Although we intend to increase the number of colleges that accept applications
using CollegeLink, we do not believe that every college in the world will be
using CollegeLink(R) within the next two years. Although we believe that we have
more relationships with colleges and high schools than any of our competitors,
we do not believe that we, or indeed any company, dominate this market at this
time. We believe we are the largest participant in this market because more
colleges accept applications on our CollegeLink(R) software than on the software
of any of our competitors. Other measures of size could yield different results.



     Forward looking statements are necessarily speculative in nature, and it
can be expected that actual results will vary from Mr. High's statements. We
have a very limited operating history as an Internet company. Furthermore,
Internet companies and their stocks are highly dynamic and their performance is
subject to many uncertainties. Within the context of Internet companies
generally, our market is just beginning to develop. This makes it particularly
hard to make predictions about future performance. Neither we nor any of the
underwriters in this offering have confirmed, endorsed or adopted any of the
statements that were not made by us for utilization by, or distribution to,
prospective purchasers in this offering. To the extent any such statements are
inconsistent with, or conflict with, the information


                                       13

MR. HIGH HAS RESIGNED AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.



     On November 16, 1999, Mr. High resigned his position as Chief Executive
Officer of our company. We are in discussions with Mr. High concerning what his
future role might be.



OUR EXISTING PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS WILL CONTINUE TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT
CONTROL OF COLLEGELINK.



     Of our outstanding 9,875,840 shares of common stock, our principal
shareholders, officers and directors beneficially own 5,234,837 shares or about
53 percent of our common stock prior to this offering and following this
offering will own about 41 percent of our common stock. In addition, our
officers and directors have currently exercisable options to purchase 402,369
shares of our common stock. As a result, they may have the ability to control
and direct our affairs and business. Such concentration of ownership may also
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control in
CollegeLink.


THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE PREVIOUS PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK, AND IF SUCH A MARKET
DOES DEVELOP, OUR STOCK PRICE COULD POTENTIALLY BE VOLATILE.

     Although our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Electronic
Bulletin Board, there has been little public market for the common stock, and
there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be
sustained. At a future date, provided a public market for the stock does
develop, the market price of the shares of common stock is likely to be highly
volatile and may be significantly affected by factors such as fluctuations in
our operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new
products and/or services by us or our competitors, governmental regulatory
action, developments with respect to proprietary rights and general market
conditions.

WE WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN USING THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING.


     We intend to use all of our proceeds from this offering for the acquisition
of Student Success and Online Scouting Network, working capital and general
corporate purposes, including other potential acquisitions. Accordingly, we will
have broad discretion in using our proceeds. You will not have the opportunity
to evaluate the economic, financial or other information that we will use to
determine how to use our proceeds.


FUTURE SALES OF COMMON STOCK BY EXISTING SECURITY HOLDERS COULD DEPRESS THE
MARKET PRICE FOR THE COMMON STOCK.


     Sales of substantial amounts of the common stock in the public market, or
the prospect of such sales, could depress the prevailing market price of the
common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon
completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 12,875,840 shares of
common stock, warrants and options to purchase 2,471,988 shares and 2,690,369
shares issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock (assuming the maximum
number of shares to be issued upon conversion). Of these shares, 8,871,746
shares of common stock and 5,162,357 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants
and options and conversion of our preferred stock (assuming the maximum number
of shares to be issued upon conversion) will be restricted shares under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The common stock in this offering will be
immediately eligible for sale in the public market without restriction on the
date of the prospectus. Taking into account the lock-up agreements which certain
of our shareholders have signed and the restrictions of Rules 144, 144(k) and
701 promulgated under the Securities Act, 7,081,028 of the restricted shares
will be available for sale in the public market beginning March 5, 2000, and all
of the restricted shares will be available for sale in the public market by
               .

YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

     If you buy the common stock you will incur immediate and substantial
dilution of about $-- per share, or --% of your investment in the common stock
(at a public offering price of $-- per share), in that the net tangible book
value of the common stock after this offering will be about $-- per share of
common stock.

ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK OR
DELAY OR PREVENT CORPORATE TAKE-OVER.


     Our certificate of incorporation provides that we may issue preferred stock
from time to time in one or more series. Our Board of Directors is authorized to
determine the rights (including voting rights), preferences, privileges and
restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred
stock and the designation of any such shares, without any vote or action by our
shareholders. The Board of Directors may authorize and issue preferred stock
with voting power or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power
or other rights of the holders of common stock. In addition, the issuance of
preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control, because the terms of preferred stock that might be issued
could potentially prohibit the consummation of any merger, reorganization, sale
of substantially all of its assets, liquidation or other extraordinary corporate
transaction without the approval of the holders of the outstanding shares of the
preferred stock.



OUR CHARTER, BY-LAWS AND DELAWARE LAW MAY DETER TAKE-OVERS.



     Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law contain
provisions that could have anti-takeover effects and that could discourage,
delay or prevent a change in control of CollegeLink or an acquisition of
CollegeLink at a price that many stockholders may find attractive. These
provisions may also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our
stockholders to take some corporate actions, including the election of
directors. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.


                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Statements in this prospectus that are not purely historical, such as
statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans and strategies
regarding the future, are forward-looking statements. These statements are only
predictions, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from the results we express in the
forward-looking statements, including those risks and uncertainties discussed
under "Risk Factors." This section includes important factors that could cause
or contribute to these differences. We cannot guarantee the results expressed in
any forward-looking statement. We have based all forward-looking statements on
information available to us on the date of this prospectus and we have no
obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS


     We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the 3,000,000 shares of
common stock we are offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting
discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming a public
offering price of $10.00 per share, will be about $26.9 million, or about $31.1
million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full.



     We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for the acquisitions of
Student Success and Online Scouting Network, general corporate purposes,
including working capital, expansion of our sales and marketing programs and in
acquisitions of and investments in complementary businesses. Accordingly, we
will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. We have
recently signed a definitive agreement to acquire Student Success and a letter
of intent to acquire Online Scouting Network. Pending the foregoing uses, we
intend to invest the net proceeds from the offering in investment-grade,
interest-bearing instruments. While the net proceeds are so invested, the
interest earned by us on such proceeds will be limited by available market
rates.


                          PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK


     Our common stock has been publicly traded on the Over-the-Counter
Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol CYTA since March 18, 1999. From
November 26, 1999, our common stock will be traded on the Over-the-Counter
Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "CLNK." The following table sets
forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing sales prices per
share for the common stock as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin

</TABLE>



     On November 22, 1999, the closing price of our common stock as quoted on
the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board was $9.875. On that date, we had
about 1,400 holders of record of the common stock. This number does not include
stockholders for whom shares were held in a "nominee" or "street" name.


                                DIVIDEND POLICY

     We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We
currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance operations and
expansion of our business and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of future dividends, if any,
will depend, among other things, on our results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition and on such other factors as our Board of Directors may, in
its discretion, consider relevant.

                                    DILUTION


     The pro forma net tangible book value of our common stock as of September
30, 1999 was approximately $ --, or $ -- per share of common stock. Pro forma
net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible
assets less total liabilities, divided by -- shares of common stock outstanding
as of September 30, 1999 after giving effect to the proposed issuance of common
stock to the stockholders of Student Success and Online Scouting Network in
connection with our acquisition of those companies.



     Pro forma net tangible book value dilution per share represents the
difference between the amount per share paid by new investors who purchase
shares of common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book
value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this offering
and after the issuance of common stock to the stockholders of Student Success
and Online Scouting Network in connection with our acquisition of those
companies. After giving effect to the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock
in this offering at an offering price of $ -- per share, after deduction of
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, the pro
forma net tangible book value of the Company at September 30, 1999 would have
been $ -- or $ -- per share.


     This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


     You should read the following information in conjunction with our financial
statements and related notes and the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of

been audited by Radin, Glass & Co., LLP, independent accountants. The pro forma
net loss per common share data for the year ended June 30, 1999 gives effect to
the conversion of all series of preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 1999
into common stock. The following selected data for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and as of September 30, 1999 are derived from our unaudited
financial statements also included in this prospectus. The pro forma net loss
per common share gives effect to the conversion of all series of preferred stock
outstanding as of September 30, 1999 into common stock. The historical results
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for future periods.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with "Selected Financial
Data" and CollegeLink's financial statements and related notes appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus.


CORPORATE BACKGROUND

     On February 2, 1999, the Board of Directors of an inactive public company
voted to change the name of that company to Cytation.com Incorporated. On
February 8, 1999, the Board of Cytation.com Incorporated voted to effect a
one-for-two reverse stock split which became effective on February 25, 1999. On
March 5, 1999, Cytation Corporation, a Rhode Island corporation (formerly known
as Web Services International, Inc.) and the provider of a browser-based online
training system, was merged into Cytation.com Incorporated. In the merger, each
share of Cytation Corporation was converted into 5.765 shares of common stock of
Cytation.com Incorporated. A total of 7,081,028 shares of Cytation.com
Incorporated were issued as a result of this merger.


     Although Cytation.com Incorporated was the surviving entity from the merger
of March 5, 1999, in accordance with applicable SEC accounting requirements, we
are considered the successor to Cytation Corporation which was the disappearing
entity in the March 5, 1999 merger.



     On August 10, 1999, Cytation.com Incorporated acquired ECI, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation and provider of online college application services.
ECI was merged into Cytation.com Incorporated's wholly owned subsidiary,
CollegeLink.com Incorporated. CollegeLink.com Incorporated became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cytation.com Incorporated. On November 1, 1999, CollegeLink.com
Incorporated changed its name to CollegeLink Corporation.



     On November 16, 1999, Cytation.com Incorporated was merged into
CollegeLink.com Incorporated, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cytation.com Incorporated which was organized on November 1, 1999.
The surviving corporation is CollegeLink.com Incorporated.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1998



     Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 include, for the
first time, the operations of CollegeLink Corporation which was acquired on
August 10, 1999. The acquisition was treated as a purchase with the results of
operations of CollegeLink Corporation included in consolidated operations from
that date. Other revenues declined, reflecting our decision to focus primarily
on the CollegeLink business.



     Payroll expenses have increased as a result of personnel additions as well
as salary increases for present personnel. Other general and administrative
expenses increased both for software development to support the CollegeLink
operations, costs of supporting the expanded operations and costs related to the
business which we intend not to emphasize in the future. Goodwill amortization
results from the acquisition of CollegeLink Corporation.


FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     Net Revenue.  Net revenue shows the significance of the shift in our
business focus over the past year. In the first part of 1998 and in prior years
our principal business was the development and sales of other services related
to the hosting of web content, which accounted for approximately $743,883 of our
revenue. During the latter half of fiscal year 1998, we began development of an
online training management system. The $500,000 of revenue for development of
proprietary technology was the result of a joint venture with EER Systems Inc.,
a Washington, D.C. systems integrator ("EER"). This joint venture ultimately
resulted in EER acquiring in excess of 10% of our shares. While we maintain web
hosting services for certain clients, we no longer provide website development
services. A significant portion of our fiscal year 1999 revenue was derived from
the online training services.

     We expect future revenue will derive from the operations of CollegeLink.com
and the continued development of the CollegeLink(R) Internet-based college
admission service and Internet hub.

     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenditures for the year ended June 30,
1999 were 68% greater than the previous year. This increase is attributable to
the fact that we changed our principal business during the year. In addition, a
significant amount of increased cost was related to software development of our
online training management system. Another reason for the increase in operating
expenses was the merger completed on March 5, 1999 with Cytation Corporation. A
major portion of the increase in operating expenses resulted from increased
legal, professional and investor relations services required to complete the
merger. Operating expenses are expected to increase substantially in the future
as we increase our marketing effort, and as sales increase, as we believe will
occur.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997


     In April 1997 we sold the assets related to our Internet service provider
("ISP") business. Final consideration from that sale was received in November
1998. In fiscal 1998, we discontinued our website development business. During
the quarter ended June 30, 1999, we did not receive any revenue from website
development or operations as an ISP, nor did we have any expenses associated
with those former components of our business. No future operations as an ISP or
website developer are contemplated. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, 37%
of revenue was derived from subscriber access (internet dial-up service), 24% of
revenue was derived from website origination and a development, 18% of revenue
was derived from website hosting and 21% of revenue was derived from other
services.


PRO FORMA ACQUISITIONS


     Revenues Related to Acquisitions.  Pro forma net revenue of the combined
companies for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 was $1,839,840. Of this amount
$561,921, $104,073, $98,178, and $1,075,668 were attributable to CollegeLink,
ECI, Online Scouting Network and Student Success, respectively. ECI's revenues
were derived from its online college applications business. Student Success'
revenues were derived from its Making College Count(R) and Making High School
Count(TM) programs. OSN's revenues were derived from registration fees of high
school student athletes. We expect that our future revenues will be derived from
these businesses.


     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses of the combined companies were
$7,699,974. Of the $1,919,454 attributable to amortization of goodwill,
$916,862, $747,632, and $254,959 were attributable to the acquisitions of ECI,
Student Success and OSN, respectively. Payroll expenses for ECI, Student Success
and OSN were $400,248, $384,205 and $9,261, respectively. Other general and
administrative expenses for ECI, Student Success and OSN were $574,768, $220,377
and $532,672, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since inception, we have funded operations primarily through cash from
operations and equity and debt investment.


     Preferred Stock.  We received $3,100,000 through a private placement of
preferred stock to The Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company and one
other accredited investor. The Purchase Agreement with The Provident Life and
Accident Insurance Company was signed April 2, 1999, and the transaction closed
shortly thereafter. After the end of the fiscal year, we received $460,000
through the private placement of additional shares of preferred stock to five
accredited investors. We also received $4,000,000 through the private placement
of preferred stock to PNC Investment Corp. on September 30, 1999.


     Common Stock.  We received $195,000 in January 1999 from the sale of shares
of common stock.

     Debt Financing.  We issued a note payable to EER for $300,000 in July 1998.
We received $300,000 from EER and a total of $70,000 from various individuals in
debt instrument financing during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. These debt
financings were repaid with the proceeds of the sale of preferred stock to The
Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company described above. We had two
short-term debt instruments representing a total of $50,000 outstanding at July
30, 1998. We repaid these debt instruments in the year ended June 30, 1999.

     Sufficiency of Cash Flows.  We believe that current cash balances and any
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. A
portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses
or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. From time
to time, in the ordinary course of business, we evaluate potential acquisitions
of such businesses, products or technologies.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $2,110,144 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999 and $277,177 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. Net
cash used in investing activities was $9,534 and

                                       23
<PAGE>   26

$78,551 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively.
Financing activities provided $3,434,416 for the year ending June 30, 1999
compared to $399,662 for the year ending June 30, 1998. As of June 30, 1999, we
had working capital of $1,371,100 compared to $46,362 as of June 30, 1998.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This statement is
effective for financial statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998.
This statement provides guidance with respect to accounting for computer
software developed or obtained for internal use, including the requirement to
capitalize specified costs and the amortization of such costs. We adopted this
standard and its adoption had no material effect on our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.

     In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities." This statement, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998, provides guidance on the financial
reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires costs of
start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The
adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and
for hedging activities. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We do not expect the adoption of
this statement to have an impact on its results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE


     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of our computer
programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure
or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities. We have recognized the Year 2000 problem
and have taken steps to mitigate the situation. Our in-house information
technology system consists primarily of hardware and software purchased from
outside parties, and software developed in-house using third party development
languages and platforms. We have completed vendor-provided upgrades of
vendor-developed software. Although the upgrades are claimed by the vendors to
be Year 2000 compliant, we are testing the hardware and software for Year 2000
compliance and will install vendor-provided software patches if necessary. We
are also testing the internally developed software which is included in the
services sold to customers.

     We expect that costs to address the Year 2000 issue, directly or
indirectly, will total approximately $15,000, the majority of which was spent in
fiscal 1998 and 1999, with the remainder being spent during fiscal 2000. Costs
include salary and related expenses, hardware and software costs, and
miscellaneous expenses. To date, we have incurred expenses of approximately
$12,000 related to the assessment of and preliminary efforts in dealing with the
Year 2000 issue.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

     We 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.

     We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest
rates. To reduce these risks somewhat, we invest excess cash in money market
accounts. We do not use any financial instruments for speculative or trading
purposes.

                                    BUSINESS

OUR COMPANY


     We provide college bound students and their families a range of solutions
to the challenges of the college admission process, from college selection to
submission of college, financial aid, and scholarship applications. We have
recently entered into an agreement to acquire Student Success, Inc and a letter
of intent to acquire Online Scouting Network, Inc.



     We have developed an Internet hub with a college application, financial aid
and scholarship service. We expect that a large number of applications will be
submitted by computer within the next several years because of increasing
student computer literacy and the significant financial and administrative
benefits to colleges and universities of receiving applications electronically.
In addition, through the Making College Count(R) and Making High School
Count(TM) programs, we help prepare students for success in college.



     We continuously obtain demographic and other information which can be used
by students, their families, colleges and other providers of services to assist
in the college admission process and enhance the entire college experience.
Because of the demographic makeup and the volume of the college bound students
who visit CollegeLink.com, we have also developed an attractive e-commerce
location for students and their families.



     CollegeLink.com.  Through CollegeLink.com, and its relationships with more
than 900 colleges and universities that accept applications in their respective
formats through CollegeLink, we are a leading provider of computer-based college
applications and admissions services to college bound students and their
families.


     Student Success.  Student Success is a leading provider of onsite high
school and college preparatory programs for students and their families under
its Making College Count(R) and Making High School Count trademarks. Through
this channel, we intend to continue to expand our presence and awareness of our
services with high school students who are most likely to use CollegeLink.
Student Success presented its seminars to more than 225,000 students at more
than 900 high schools and junior colleges nationwide last year. These programs
were sponsored by eight major consumer products companies.


     Online Scouting.  Online Scouting Network is a leading provider of online
recruiting services offering student athletes greater visibility to more than
3,000 college and university professionals. For the school year ended June 1999,
more than 25,000 high school students from over 600 high schools nationwide were
registered with Online Scouting Network.



     We have an agreement with PNC Bank, N.A., one of the largest student loan
providers in the United States, to provide certain financial products and
services to college bound students and their families through our
CollegeLink.com Internet hub. The PNC Bank agreement will terminate on September
29, 2004. However, after September 29, 2001, PNC Bank may elect to terminate the
agreement upon 180 days notice. PNC Investment Corp., an affiliate of PNC Bank,
has made a $4,000,000 investment in our company.



     We have an exclusive agreement with The College Board(R) to provide
electronic college applications through The College Board's ExPAN(R) guidance
software. The College Board agreement terminates on June 30, 2000 unless
extended by mutual agreement. The College Board(R) is a membership organization
of colleges and secondary schools and provider of the SAT(R) and the AP(R)
Exams. We are the only third party electronic application provider on The
College Board's website. We understand that The College Board(R) receives about
18 million monthly hits on its website.



     We also have co-marketing relationships with Student Advantage, Inc.,
FastWeb.com L.L.C. and are negotiating similar relationships with other
Web-based businesses including The FamilyEducation Company. We are continually
seeking appropriate relationships to expand our service and product offerings.


                                       25

COLLEGELINK.COM


     We are developing an Internet hub designed to offer college bound students
and their families a range of services and products to assist throughout the
college admission process.


     CollegeLink(R).  We have developed proprietary software that permits high
school students to complete and submit college applications online.
CollegeLink(R) guides a student with access to a personal computer through the
entire application process. It permits the student to answer questions, print
and review drafts and ultimately to submit the application electronically or in
hard copy, depending upon the college's preference. Students enter information
only once when using CollegeLink(R)'s application service, then select the
colleges and universities to which they wish to apply, complete college specific
essays and then transmit all their applications electronically. Each college
receives an application that replicates its own form or electronic format.
CollegeLink(R) is the only program that permits students to enter general
information only once and still deliver to each college an application in its
own format. We believe that students and their families prefer our service to
filling out multiple forms or mailing a generic application because they
perceive colleges favor applications submitted on their own formats.
CollegeLink(R) also contains hyperlinks to websites for college admissions tests
and scholarship and financial aid searches. We expect to devote a significant
portion of our resources to the growth in the use of CollegeLink(R) as we expand
our traditional and online marketing programs and as the Internet becomes more
available and accepted by high schools, colleges and their students.



     Student Success.  On October 20, 1999, we entered into an agreement to
acquire Student Success. Student Success is the leading provider of on-site high
school and college preparatory programs for students and their families under
its Making College Count(R) and Making High School Count(TM) trademarks. Student
Success offers schools and students value added educational and organizational
tools. Student programs include live presentations held in schools during the
school day, as well as direct mail follow-up, websites, email newsletters, and
various other printed materials. Student Success presented its seminars to more
than 225,000 students at more than 900 high schools and junior colleges
nationwide last school year. Products for sale include books, books on tape, and
academic planners.



     We expect Student Success to enhance our market position by providing
contact with hundreds of thousands of college bound students through focused
presentations delivered by trained speakers. We believe Student Success has
opened a significant marketing channel to cross-sell the full range of our
CollegeLink(R) and Online Scouting Network products and services. Through this
channel, we intend to expand awareness of our services with high school
students. We believe these programs offer service providers an attractive and
effective way to reach the teen market segment.



     Online Scouting Network.  On August 18, 1999, we entered into a letter of
intent to acquire Online Scouting Network. Online Scouting Network is a leading
Internet recruiting company that operates the Online Scouting Network ("OSN")
and provides student athletes greater visibility to more than 3,000 college and
university professionals. For the school year ended June 1999, more than 25,000
high school athletes from 600 high schools in 22 sports nationwide were
registered with OSN. OSN provides significant exposure to student athletes and
enhances the recruiting process for college athletic directors and coaches
through its website. OSN has been designed to increase the exposure of about 5
million U.S. high school athletes to colleges and to reduce the time and expense
colleges incur in identifying prospective student athletes.



     We believe these acquisitions will enhance our market position by
attracting additional college bound students to our services. We also believe
that there will be substantial efficiencies for our marketing efforts and
expansion of the services we provide to college bound students.


INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

     There are about 14.8 million high school students in the United States.
According to the U.S. census bureau, this number will increase to 15.7 million
over the next five years. Each year, about 3.2 million students enter colleges
and universities for the first time. Of these about 2.2 million apply as first
time

                                       26
<PAGE>   29

freshman to undergraduate colleges and universities. The remaining students
apply to continuing education programs of various sorts. Each year about 2.2
million students submit nearly seven million applications for undergraduate
admission to nearly 3,400 U.S. colleges and universities. Over 50% of these
students apply for some form of financial aid. According to the Department of
Education, it is expected that the total number of college bound students will
continue to increase each year for the foreseeable future. Based on industry
statistics, we believe colleges spend approximately $3.0 billion annually to
recruit and enroll students.

MARKETING STRATEGY

     Our strategy is to build upon the thousands of relationships we have
developed with high school guidance counselors and college admissions
professionals through one-on-one marketing efforts. We plan to build our brand,
reach increasing numbers of high school and college students, and drive traffic
to our Internet hub. Our objectives are to:


     - Expand Our Market Leadership Position.  We intend to leverage our
       relationships with more than 3,000 high schools and more than 900
       colleges and universities to establish new affiliations, attract
       additional students to our website and create a premier Internet hub for
       college bound students. We believe the number of colleges and
       universities accepting our applications is central to students who will
       want to apply to many colleges and will appreciate the ability to apply
       to all of them from one source. We believe our ability to submit
       applications on college specific forms, together with our existing
       relationships, will establish us as the standard for the industry and
       drive traffic across our Internet hub. We plan to continue to add high
       schools, colleges and universities through on campus direct sales calls
       by sales personnel, corporate sponsorship direct mailings, targeted
       periodical advertising, online and broadcast advertising, partnerships
       and various promotional campaigns. We have also established a
       telemarketing sales force to provide sales support to existing and
       inquiring colleges and universities. Upon completion of the OSN and
       Student Success acquisitions, we will have a national direct sales force
       calling on high schools.



     - Expand Existing Brand Awareness.  We intend to build upon our established
       brands and our relationships with PNC Bank, N.A. and others to establish
       CollegeLink.com as a leading Internet hub and e-commerce site. We plan to
       use our market position and existing relationships with these service
       providers to reach increasing numbers of college bound students.



     - Capitalize on Our Strong High School Presence.  For the last two years,
       The College Board(R) has distributed our CollegeLink(R) software with its
       ExPAN(R)guidance software to about 2,000 high schools nationwide. This
       school year, Making College Count(R) expects to present at more than
       1,700 high schools and junior colleges, and OSN expects to register
       athletes from about 600 high schools. We believe our established presence
       in the high school market gives us early access to college bound students
       and will continue to solidify our brand in the online education market.
       We intend to grow our presence in the high school market through
       expansion of these programs. In addition, we intend to grow our presence
       in the high school market through online direct marketing and other
       multimedia.



     - Develop strategic web partnerships.  We have initiated a web partnership
       program to co-brand our products and services on targeted high school and
       college related high traffic web sites and add content to our Internet
       hub. In addition to our relationships with PNC Bank, N.A., and The
       College Board(R) we have relationships with other Web hubs and portals
       with college bound students and parent traffic to create content and
       commerce opportunities.


     - Overcome resistance to online applications.  We believe many college
       bound students and their families perceive that colleges and universities
       prefer applications that are submitted on the institution's specific
       format. CollegeLink(R) software is the only program currently available
       that permits students to enter general information only once and still
       deliver to each institution an application in that institution's own
       format. We believe this feature gives us a significant competitive
       advantage, and we intend to promote it to increase use of our services.
       We believe that
                                       27
<PAGE>   30


we have addressed equal consideration issues by providing student applications
in each college's own format.


COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT

     The markets we serve are large and fragmented. We do not believe that any
competitor has achieved dominance in any of the markets we serve. These markets
are highly competitive, constantly evolving, and subject to the effects of
changing technology. We believe the principal competitive factors in the markets
we serve include:

     - establishing relationships with colleges and universities

     - establishing a significant presence in high schools and colleges

     - developing brand awareness

     - developing strategic web partnerships to expand service offerings

     - overcoming resistance to online applications

     - building an effective direct sales force


     CollegeLink(R) faces direct competition from a number of companies
including: -- Apply!, Embark.com (formerly CollegeEdge), CollegeNet and XAP. We
also face competition from traditional service providers such as guidance
counselors, self-help guides available in print as well as CD-ROM, for profit
service providers such as Kaplan Educational Centers, and not-for-profit
organizations such as The College Board(R) which has announced plans to provide
a broad range of college admissions, test preparation and related services on
the Internet.



     Student Success faces competition from a variety of sources including other
providers of self-help and educational enhancement programs such as Kaplan,
Barrons, Princeton Review, Houghton Mifflin and Learning Forum. OSN faces direct
competition from a variety of companies including: Athletes Online,
Allstatersports.com and Recruit.


     We believe CollegeLink.com's relationships with our partners, together with
our strategy of building on our existing leadership position, growing our
brands, and reaching into the high school population, provide a substantial
competitive advantage over our current competition.


     Following is a list, as of November 22, 1999, of colleges accepting
applications through our CollegeLink(R) software.

TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY



     Our technology has been designed with built-in redundancies and a
template-driven automated publishing engine to allow others to reliably and
cost-effectively integrate our content into their websites. Our technology
solution enables us to easily and rapidly permit others to add content to their
website by employing a distributed, scalable architecture adapted specifically
for our Internet-based content services, and has been designed to provide
support across multiple platforms. Our automated publishing engine dynamically
builds a page to conform to the display format and look and feel and navigation
features specific to each website. This feature helps build and maintain brands
by creating the impression to end users that they have not left the website. We
manage access to the content and process user queries from our own web server
until ultimate delivery of our services, serving as a cost-effective, single
source supplier of our services.



     We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademarks, licenses,
trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual
property and trade secrets. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with
our employees and consultants, and generally control access to and distribution
of our documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these
precautions, it may be


                                       33
<PAGE>   36


possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual
property or trade secrets without authorization. In addition, we rely in part on
"shrinkwrap" and "clickwrap" licenses that are not signed by the end user and,
therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.



     We pursue the registration of certain of our trademarks in the United
States, although we have not secured registration of all of our marks. We have
registered a United States trademark for CollegeLink(R). Student Success has
registered a United States trademark for Making College Count(R). We also own
several unregistered copyrights in the CollegeLink(R) software. Student Success
owns several registered copyrights in its Making College Count(R) books and
related program materials. We do not have any patent rights.


     We license our CollegeLink(R) software pursuant to a non-exclusive license
agreement which imposes restrictions on our customers" ability to use the
software and related services. We also seek to protect our software,
documentation and other written materials under trade secrets and copyright
laws.

     We believe that we own all rights in our intellectual property, and have
not received any notices from any third party claiming ownership in our
intellectual property. We also have not received any notice that our products or
services infringe the intellectual property rights of any other person.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


     We have recently entered into an agreement to acquire Student Success and a
letter of intent to acquire OSN. Both of our pending acquisitions are subject,
among other things, to certain usual and customary closing conditions. We will
acquire Student Success by merging it into our wholly-owned subsidiary,
CollegeLink Corporation. The aggregate purchase price for the outstanding
capital stock of Student Success is $8,000,000. We have agreed to pay the
purchase price by way of a cash payment of $3,500,000 and the balance of the
purchase price in shares of our common stock valued at the offering price of the
common shares in this offering. We will also assume all of the outstanding
options to purchase common stock of Student Success. In connection with the
acquisition, CollegeLink Corporation, will enter into one-year employment
agreements with Patrick S. O'Brien and Bradford J. Baker, two shareholders of
Student Success. The employment agreements will contain non-competition
covenants preventing Messrs. O'Brien and Baker from competing with our business
for a period of three years following termination of employment. In addition to
the salaries set forth in their respective employment agreements, Messrs.
O'Brien and Baker will each receive options to purchase 200,000 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price equal to the price per share of the stock
included in this offering, subject to certain vesting requirements.



     On September 30, 1999, we sold 1,000,000 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock to PNC Investment Corp. for an aggregate purchase price of
$4,000,000. PNC Investment Corp. is a subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A. On September
29, 1999, we also entered into a Marketing Services and Administrative Agreement
with PNC Bank, N.A.



     On October 26, 1999, we sold 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to an accredited investor for an aggregate purchase price of
$1,000,000.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of
management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

EMPLOYEES


     As of November 17, 1999, we employed 38 persons full-time. None of our
employees is represented by a union and we have never experienced a work
stoppage. Our management considers its relations with our employees to be good.


                                       34
<PAGE>   37

FACILITIES


     Our headquarters are located in Middletown, Rhode Island, where we occupy
3,200 square feet of space pursuant to a lease which expires in September 2001.
We also conduct operations in Clinton, Massachusetts, where we occupy 4,000
square feet of space as a tenant at will. On September 22, 1999, we signed a
lease for 11,500 square feet in Middletown, Rhode Island, which will house all
of our operations, including CollegeLink.com. We believe that these existing
facilities are adequate to meet our current and foreseeable requirements or that
suitable additional or substitute space will be available on commercially
reasonable terms. We plan to vacate our Clinton, Massachusetts site and to
consolidate our operations in Middletown, Rhode Island by December 15, 1999.

BOARD COMMITTEES



     We established an audit committee and a compensation committee in May 1999.
The audit committee consists of Dr. Gupta and Mr. Rogers. The audit committee
reviews our internal accounting procedures and consults with and reviews the
services provided by our independent accountants. The compensation committee
consists of Mr. Hensley and Mr. Rogers. The compensation committee reviews and
recommends to the board of directors the compensation and benefits of all our
officers and directors, including stock compensation and loans, and establishes
and reviews general policies relating to the compensation and benefits of our
employees.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     Prior to establishing the compensation committee, the board of directors as
a whole performed the functions delegated to the compensation committee. No
member of the board of directors or the compensation committee serves as a
member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that
has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors
or compensation committee.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Outside directors who are not principals or shareholders which own more
than 10% of our common stock receive an annual option to purchase 10,000 shares
of our common stock. The price is determined as

                                       39
<PAGE>   42

the closing bid price of the stock on the date of our annual meeting. As of June
30, 1999, we had 20,000 of such options outstanding. These outstanding options
have an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Further, each director entitled to a
grant of options receives compensation of $1,000 for each meeting attended. All
directors receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending
meetings of the board.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS


     Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors shall not be
personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that the elimination or
limitation of such liability is not permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Our certificate of incorporation further provides for the
indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (and includes provisions
authorizing the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with certain
applicable proceedings). A principal effect of these provisions is to limit or
eliminate the potential liability of our directors for monetary damages arising
from breaches of their duty of care, subject to certain exceptions.



     Our certificate of incorporation provides that the foregoing rights of
indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which our directors and officers may be entitled under any law
(common or statutory), agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.



     At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director or officer as to which indemnification will be required or permitted
under our certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or an indemnification
agreement. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may
result in a claim for such indemnification.


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors, officers or
controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The following table sets forth the total compensation paid or accrued for
our chief executive officer and our four other most highly compensated executive
officers who were employed by us at June 30, 1999, excluding officers paid less
than $100,000 annually (collectively, the "Named Executive Officers").

(1) Based on an aggregate of 1,161,185 shares subject to options granted to
    employees during fiscal 1999.

(2) These amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the
    option if exercised at the end of the option term. These gains are based on
    assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually from
    the date the option was granted to its expiration date and are not presented
    to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, in the price of our common
    stock. The gains shown are net of the option exercise price, but do not
    include deductions for taxes or other expenses associated with the exercise
    of the option or the sale of the underlying shares. The actual gains, if
    any, on the exercise of the option will depend on the future performance of
    our common stock, the optionee's continued employment through the vesting
    period applicable to the option and the date on which the option is
    exercised.

OPTION EXERCISES AND FISCAL YEAR-END VALUES

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding stock options
exercised by Named Executive Officers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999,
and exercisable and unexercisable stock options held as of June 30, 1999 by each
of the Named Executive Officers. The value of unexercised in-the-money options
has been calculated by determining the difference between the exercise price per
share payable upon exercise of such options and the closing market price on June
30, 1999.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS


     We have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Fisher, our chairman,
and Mr. High, one of our directors. Each employment agreement provides for three
years of employment commencing February 11, 1999 at an annual salary of
$175,000. The salary levels have been increased (with effect from January 1,
2000) to $200,000 based on our obtaining in excess of $7,000,000 of new equity
capital since commencement of these employment agreements. Pursuant to these
agreements, Mr. Fisher and Mr. High has each received an option to purchase up
to 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. These
options vest in equal monthly installments over 24 months commencing on the date
of grant. In addition, on September 1, 1999, Messrs. Fisher and High were each
granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.
These options vest in full on September 1, 2001.


                                       41
<PAGE>   44


     If either Mr. Fisher or Mr. High is terminated by us without cause or
terminates his employment agreement for good reason, such employee will receive
from us his then applicable base salary and continuation of benefits until the
later of the expiration of the term of his employment agreement or two years
after the date of termination. In addition, all outstanding options held by such
employee shall become immediately exercisable in full.



     The employment agreements also provide that we will provide a life
insurance policy and a monthly automobile allowance for these employees.



     We have also entered into an employment agreement with our president, Mr.
Burgess. Mr. Burgess' employment agreement provides for one year of employment
commencing July 1, 1999 at an annual salary of $140,000. Pursuant to his
employment agreement, Mr. Burgess has received an option to purchase 300,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.125. The option vests as to
100,000 shares on June 30, 2000. The balance of the option shares vest in equal
monthly installments over the two year period commencing July 31, 2000 and
ending June 30, 2002, provided that Mr. Burgess continues his employment with
us. If Mr. Burgess is terminated for any reason other than cause, his option
will immediately become exercisable in full. In addition, Mr. Burgess'
employment agreement provides that we will issue 5,000 shares of common stock to
him on January 1, 2000.


BENEFIT PLANS

     We maintain a 401(k) plan, qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. All of our employees who are at least 21 years
of age are eligible to make salary reduction contributions pursuant to the
401(k) plan. A participant may contribute a maximum of 15% of his or her pre-tax
salary, commissions and bonuses through payroll deductions (up to the
statutorily prescribed annual limit of $10,000 in 1998) to the 401(k) plan.

  1996 Stock Plan.


     Our predecessor adopted our 1996 stock plan on December 16, 1996. The 1996
plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options in accordance with section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1996 and non-qualified options. We have
reserved a total of 1,441,250 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1996
plan. No incentive stock option may be granted under the 1996 plan after
December 16, 2006. In certain situations, including changes in our capital
structure due to a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or the like, the board of
directors may, in order to prevent changes in the existing rights of
optionholders, adjust the number and class of shares available for option grants
under the 1996 plan or revise the terms of outstanding options under the 1996
plan. However, the board shall not make any adjustment that would disqualify an
incentive stock option or that would change the minimum number of shares
issuable upon exercise of an option.


     Our officers and other key employees are eligible to receive incentive
stock options under the 1996 plan. They, together with other persons who are not
employees of our company but who may provide services to us, are also eligible
to receive non-qualified options. Options may be granted in combination with or
in place of awards granted under any other employee plan maintained by us. The
aggregate fair market value of common stock with respect to which incentive
stock options are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any
calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

     The term of any incentive stock option granted under the 1996 plan may not
exceed ten years or, in case of an optionee holding 10% of our shares, five
years from the date of the grant. The 1996 plan imposes certain restrictions on
exercisability of options in the event of termination of the optionees'
employment with our company.

     Our board of directors administers the 1996 plan. The board of directors
has the authority at any time to suspend, terminate or amend the 1996 plan, to
grant options under the 1996 plan, to determine the terms of each option, to
designate options as incentive stock options or non-qualified options, to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 1996 plan,
and to make all such other determinations in connection with the administration
of the 1996 plan. All actions taken and
                                       42
<PAGE>   45

determinations made by the board of directors will be final and binding upon us,
the optionees and all other interested persons.

     The terms and conditions of option agreements may vary. Under the 1996 plan
the exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100%, or, in
case of an optionee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of our capital stock, 110%, of the fair market value of
our common stock on the date the option is granted.


     As of the date of this prospectus, options to acquire 241,185 shares of
common stock have been granted under the 1996 plan. The board of directors does
not intend to issue any further options under the 1996 plan.


  1999 Stock Option Plan.


     Our board of directors adopted our 1999 stock option plan on May 7, 1999
and our stockholders approved the 1999 plan on November 11, 1999. Only our
officers and key employees may participate in the 1999 plan. The 1999 plan
authorizes the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options.
We have reserved a total of 1,550,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon
exercise of outstanding options under the 1999 executive plan, subject to
adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
reorganization, or certain defined changes of control. The number of shares with
respect to which options may be granted to any participant under the 1999 plan
may not exceed 750,000 shares in any calendar year.


     Our board of directors administers the 1999 plan. The board has the
authority to adopt, amend and repeal the administrative rules, guidelines and
practices relating to the 1999 plan and to interpret its provisions. The board
may delegate authority under the 1999 plan to one or more committees of the
board and, subject to certain limitations, to one or more of our executive
officers. Subject to certain limitations contained in the 1999 plan, the board
of directors, the compensation committee or any other committee or any executive
officer to whom the board delegates authority, as the case may be, selects the
recipients of options and determines the number of shares of common stock
covered by options, the dates upon which such options become exercisable, the
exercise price and duration of options, and all other terms and conditions of
option grants.

     Options under the 1999 plan may be granted at an exercise price which may
be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock
on the date of the grant. The exercise price of options may be paid in cash, by
check, by a "cashless exercise" through a broker, by surrender to us of common
shares, or by any combination of the foregoing permitted forms of payment. Under
present law, incentive stock options and options intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 may not be granted with an exercise price less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or less than 110% of the
fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to optionees
holding more than 10% of the combined voting power of our capital stock).

     In the event of certain defined change in control events, all outstanding
options under the 1999 plan shall accelerate and become immediately exercisable
for a period of fifteen days (or such period as the board may prescribe)
immediately prior to the scheduled consummation of the change of control. Upon
consummation of the change of control, the 1999 plan and all outstanding and
unexercised options shall terminate as of the effective date of the change in
control unless the 1999 plan is continued after the change in control and such
options are assumed by the surviving entity.

     No incentive stock option may be granted under the 1999 plan after August
31, 2009, but the vesting and effectiveness of options previously granted may
extend beyond that date. Our board of directors may at any time amend, suspend
or terminate the 1999 plan.

     As of the date of this prospectus, options to acquire 625,000 shares of our
common stock have been granted under the 1999 plan.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK


     As of the date hereof, our authorized share capital consists of 100,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Shares"), of
which 9,875,840 Common Shares are issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, $.01 par value, of which (a) 2,500,000 shares have been
designated Series A (the "Series A Shares") of which 1,140,000 Series A Shares
are issued and outstanding, (b) 300,000 shares have been designated Series B
(the "Series B Shares") of which 279,771 Series B Shares are issued and
outstanding and (c) 1,000,000 shares have been designated Series C (the "Series
C Shares") of which 1,000,000 Series C Shares are issued and outstanding, and
(d) 6,200,000 shares are undesignated and available for issuance. The following
is a summary of the principal attributes of our share capital.


COMMON SHARES

     The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Common
Shares are as follows:

  Voting


     Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend
and vote at all meetings of our shareholders, except meetings of holders of
another class of shares. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one
vote.


  Dividends


     Subject to the preferences accorded to holders of Series A Shares, Series C
Shares and any other of our shares ranking senior to the Common Shares from time
to time with respect to the payment of dividends, holders of Common Shares are
entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, such
dividends as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to
time.


  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up


     In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up, or any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for
the purpose of winding-up our affairs (such event referred to herein as a
"Distribution"), holders of Common Shares are entitled, subject to the
preferences accorded to holders of the Series A Shares, Series C Shares and any
other of our shares ranking senior to the Common Shares from time to time with
respect to payment on a Distribution, to receive amount equal to that
distributed to the holders of Series A Shares and Series C Shares per share of
common stock held, if sufficient assets are available, and to share equally, pro
rata, in our remaining property.


     The Common Shares have no preemptive, redemption, conversion or
subscription rights.

UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK


     Our board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of
preferred stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of
any such series, to establish the number of shares to be included in each series
and to fix the voting powers, preferences, qualifications and special or
relative rights or privileges of each series all to the full extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law. The board of directors is authorized to
issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences
that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of
Common Shares.



     As indicated above, 1,140,000 Series A Shares, 279,771 Series B Shares, and
1,000,000 Series C Shares have been issued. The issuance of additional preferred
stock or of rights to purchase preferred stock could have the effect of making
it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party
from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.


                                       46
<PAGE>   49

SERIES A SHARES

  Voting


     Each Series A Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote for each Common
Share into which such Series A Share is then convertible.


  Liquidation


     In the event of a Distribution, holders of Series A Shares are entitled, in
priority to holders of Common Shares and the other holders of Preferred Stock to
receive a liquidation payment of $4.00, plus any accrued and unpaid
distributions declared thereon per Series A Share held. After such distribution,
holders of Common Shares shall receive the identical amount per share, if
available, and any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably among holders
of Common Shares and Preferred Shares.


  Dividends


     The holders of the Series A Shares are entitled to receive, out of funds at
the time legally available for payment of dividends in the State of Delaware, a
cumulative dividend at the rate of six percent (6%) of the stated value per
share per annum, payable quarterly in equal installments on the first days of
each successive quarter each year, if, as and when determined by the board of
directors, before any dividend shall be set apart or paid on any other capital
stock for such year.


  Conversion


     Each Series A Share is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof,
into one Common Share. The conversion ratio will be automatically adjusted to
account for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
reclassification or other similar event with respect to the Common Shares. In
addition, we may require mandatory conversion of all, but not less than all, of
the Series A Shares on or after the first anniversary of the initial purchase
and sale of the Series A Shares provided that: (a) the average closing bid price
of the Common Shares on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the Nasdaq Stock
Market or other principal market for the Common Shares, as applicable, for the
20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the required
conversion has exceeded $6.00 per share, or (b) we are reorganized in a
transaction involving the exchange of our Common Shares for shares of a publicly
traded U.S. corporation.


SERIES B SHARES

  Voting


     Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth in our certificate of
incorporation, the holders of Series B Shares are not entitled to vote on any
matter or to notice of any meeting of the stockholders.


  Liquidation


     The holders of Series B Shares are not entitled to any preferential payment
or distribution in the event of any Distribution, but shall share ratably on an
as-converted basis assuming automatic conversion in any distribution of our
assets to all the holders of Common Stock and the other holders of Preferred
Stock.


  Dividends


     The holders of Series B Shares are not entitled to receive any dividends.


  Conversion


     On August 10, 2000 all outstanding Series B Shares shall automatically be
converted into a number of Common Shares determined by dividing $15.00 (as
adjusted to account for any stock dividend, stock


                                       47
<PAGE>   50


split, combination of shares, reclassification or other similar event with
respect to the Series B Shares) by the greater of $7.625 and the average of the
closing bid price per share for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately
prior to August 10, 2000 and multiplying the result by the number of outstanding
Series B Shares. Prior to August 10, 2000, each Series B Share is convertible at
the option of the holder thereof into such number of Common Share as is
determined by dividing $15.00 by the average of the closing bid price per share
for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion,
provided, however, that no Series B Share is convertible on any day on which
such average would not exceed $15.00 (as adjusted to account for any stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification or other similar
event with respect to the Common Shares).


SERIES C SHARES

  Voting


     Except as required by applicable law, the holders of Series C Shares are
not entitled to vote on any matter, provided, however, that if there are at
least 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding (such number being
subject to proportional adjustment for any subdivisions, splits or reverse
splits of the Series C Shares), the holders of Series C Shares voting as a
separate class are entitled to elect one director to the board of directors or
appoint one observer to the board of directors.


  Liquidation


     In the event of a Distribution, holders of Series C Shares shall be
entitled, subject to the prior rights of the Series A Shares but in priority to
holders of Common Shares and Series B Shares, to receive a liquidation payment
of $4.00, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions whether or not earned or
declared, without interest, per Series C Share held. After such distribution,
holders of Common Shares shall receive the identical amount, if available, and
any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Common
Shares and Preferred Shares.


  Dividends


     The holders of the Series C Shares are entitled to receive, out of funds at
the time legally available for payment of dividends in the State of Delaware, a
cumulative dividend at the rate of six percent (6%) of the stated value of such
shares per share per annum. Such dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears
on the last day of March, June, September and December, if, as and when
determined by the board of directors.


  Conversion


     Each Series C Share is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof,
into one Common Share. The conversion ratio will be automatically adjusted to
account for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
reclassification or other similar event with respect to the Common Shares. In
addition, we may require mandatory conversion of all, but not less than all, of
the Series C Shares on or after the first anniversary of the initial purchase
and sale of the Series C Shares provided that: (a) the average closing bid price
of the Common Shares on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the Nasdaq Stock
Market, as applicable, for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the date of the required conversion has exceeded $6.00 per share, and (b) we
elected to mandatorily convert all other series of preferred stock. In no event,
however, shall PNC Bank Corp. or any subsidiary thereof (collectively, "PNC") be
required or allowed to convert any Series C Shares if doing so would cause PNC
to hold five percent (5%) or more of our issued and outstanding Common Shares
and any of our shares of voting preferred stock, unless PNC has provided us with
a written opinion of counsel that this greater percentage of beneficial
ownership is permitted by all applicable laws and regulations.


                                       48

WARRANTS

     We have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 755,803 shares of
common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.18 per share. The
warrants are currently exercisable in whole or in part, at any time or from time
to time until December 31, 2004. The warrants contain certain protections
against dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends and similar
events.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS


     We sold 890,000 Series A Shares to The Provident Life and Accident
Insurance Company ("Provident") and six individual accredited investors
commencing on April 2, 1999, pursuant to a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Series A Agreement"). The Series A Agreement provided
that we would include all of the Common Shares into which the Series A Shares
purchased thereunder are convertible in the first registration statement we file
under the Securities Act of 1933, and that we would bear all expenses of such
registration, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. Provident and
each of the other investors in the Series A Shares has indicated that they will
agree not to, directly or indirectly, sell or otherwise dispose of their shares
for a period of 215 days after the date of this prospectus and to delay the
filing of a registration statement for the resale of Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of their Series A Shares.



     In connection with the issuance and sale of Series A Shares as described
above, we issued to Brennan Dyer & Company, LLC ("Brennan Dyer") 432,375 Common
Shares as consideration for advisory services pursuant to an agreement between
us and Brennan Dyer, dated November 16, 1998. In connection with this issuance,
we agreed to include these shares in a registration statement filed for sale of
Common Shares by us. Brennan Dyer has indicated that it will agree not to,
directly or indirectly, sell or otherwise dispose of its shares for a period of
215 days after the date of this prospectus and to delay the filing of a
registration statement for the resale of its Common Shares.


     In connection with the merger of ECI into us, holders of the common stock
of ECI received a total of 550,809 Common Shares (the "ECI Common Shares") and
234,771 shares of our Series B Preferred Shares (the "ECI Preferred Shares").
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement executed on August 10, 1999 in
connection with the ECI merger, we agreed to register at our expense the ECI
Common Shares and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the ECI
Preferred Shares on a registration statement on Form S-3 and to keep such
registration statement effective until August 10, 2000, subject to the condition
that any registration of such shares may be delayed, if in our reasonable
judgment, such delay is desirable to permit the consummation by it of a
financing including a public offering by it. Each holder of the ECI Common
Shares and ECI Preferred Shares also agreed, in such Registration Rights
Agreement, to sign any lock-up agreement with respect to all its ECI Common
Shares which an underwriter for a public offering of our stock may require such
holder and our senior management to sign.

     In connection with the ECI merger, we, ECI and USA Group Noel-Levitz, Inc.
("USA Group") entered into a letter agreement in settlement of certain claims
USA Group may have made (the "Letter Agreement"). Pursuant to the Letter
Agreement, we issued to USA Group 108,196 Common Shares (the "USA Group Common
Shares") and 45,000 Preferred Shares (the "USA Group Preferred Shares"). In
connection with the Letter Agreement, the Company and USA Group entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 10, 1999. Pursuant to this
Agreement, if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities
Act for our own account on a form that would also permit the registration of the
USA Group Common Shares or of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the
USA Group Preferred Shares, USA Group is entitled to notice of such registration
and to have the USA Group Common Shares and the Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of the USA Group Preferred Shares included in such registration,
subject to the right of the underwriters (in the event of a registration
pursuant to an underwritten offering of common stock) to limit the number of
shares included in such registration.

     On September 30, 1999, we sold 1,000,000 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock to PNC Investment Corp. pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Series C Agreement"). The Series C Agreement provides that we shall
include all of the Common Shares into which the Series C Shares are convertible
in a registration statement on Form S-3 promptly after we become eligible to
file such a registration statement with the SEC.


     On October 26, 1999, we sold 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to an accredited investor pursuant to a Series A Convertible
Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that we shall
include all of the Common Shares into which the investor may convert its Series
A Shares in our first registration statement under the Securities Act filed 215
days after the effective date of this offering.



POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION



     On November 11, 1999, our stockholders approved four alternative amendments
to our certificate of incorporation providing for a one for two consolidation of
Common Shares, a two for three consolidation of Common Shares, a three for four
consolidation of Common Shares and a four for five consolidation of Common
Shares, respectively, and authorized our board of directors to file one such
amendment on or before March 15, 2000. The purpose of this action was, among
other things, to permit our board of directors to adjust, if necessary, our
capitalization to facilitate a public offering. In light of this offering, our
board of directors has irrevocably decided that it will not file any such
amendment after the closure of this offering.



ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OUR CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS



     A number of provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation
and our by-laws could make more difficult any attempt to acquire us by means of
a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise and the removal of incumbent
officers and directors. These provisions are intended to discourage certain
types of coercive takeover and inadequate takeover bid, even though such a
transaction may offer our shareholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a
price above the prevailing market price. This also encourages persons seeking to
acquire control of us to negotiate with us first.



  Delaware Law



     We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from
engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a
period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an
interested stockholder.



     Section 203 does not apply if:



     - prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved
       either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the
       stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;



     - upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
       becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
       least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
       the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the
       number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are
       directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee
       participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether
       shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange

       affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock
       which is not owned by the interested stockholder.



     The application of Section 203 may limit the ability of stockholders to
approve a transaction that they may deem to be in their best interests.



     Section 203 defines "business combination" to include:



     - any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested
       stockholder;



     - any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the
       assets of the corporation to or with the interested stockholder;



     - subject to certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the
       issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation
       to he interested stockholder; or



     - the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
       advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or
       through the corporation.



     In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as any entity
or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation and any entity or person associated with, affiliated with or
controlling or controlled by such entity or person.



  Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws



     Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that, unless otherwise
prescribed by law or our certificate of incorporation, only a majority of the
board, the chairman of the board or our president is able to call a special
meeting of our stockholders. The certificate of incorporation and the by-laws
also provide that, unless otherwise prescribed by law or the certificate of
incorporation, stockholder action may be taken only at a duly called and
convened annual or special meeting of our stockholders and may not be taken by
written consent. These provisions, taken together, prevent our stockholders from
forcing consideration by the stockholders of stockholder proposals over the
opposition of our board, except at an annual meeting.



     Our by-laws also establish an advance notice procedure for our stockholders
to make nominations of candidates for election as director, or to bring other
business before an annual meeting of our stockholders. Under this notice
procedure, notice of stockholder nominations or proposals to be made at an
annual or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting generally must be
received by us not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the
scheduled date of the meeting. However, if less than 70 days notice or prior
public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given, then notice must be
received not later than the 10th day following the earlier of the day such
notice was mailed or the day such public disclosure was made. Notice of
stockholder nominations or proposals to be made at a special meeting (other than
a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting), must be received not later than
the 10th day following the earlier of the day such notice was mailed or the day
such public disclosure was made. These notices must contain certain prescribed
information.



     The foregoing notice procedure affords our board an opportunity to consider
the qualifications of proposed director nominees or the merit of stockholder
proposals, and, to the extent deemed appropriate by the board, to inform our
stockholders about such matters. The notice procedure also provides a more
orderly procedure for conducting annual meetings of our stockholders. The
by-laws do not give the board any power to approve or disapprove stockholder
nominations for the election of directors or proposals for action. However, the
notice procedure may prevent a contest for the election of directors or the
consideration of stockholder proposals. This could deter a third party from
conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to
approve its own proposal if the proper advance notice procedures are not
followed, without regard to whether consideration of such nominees or proposals
might be harmful or beneficial to us and our stockholders.



     Under our certificate of incorporation 82,052,258 shares of common stock
and 7,309,631 shares of preferred stock remain authorized and not reserved for
any purpose and are available for issuance.


                                       51
<PAGE>   54


Although these shares were authorized to allow the board, without further
stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise
capital or to effect potential acquisitions in the future, the authorization of
such additional shares could incidentally have an anti-takeover effect, in that
such shares could potentially be issued in such manner as to hamper the efforts
of persons who might attempt to gain control of CollegeLink. Also, our
certificate of incorporation specifically provides that our board of directors
has the authority to create the special terms and conditions of the preferred
stock which it issues. The board is authorized to establish the number of shares
of preferred stock to be issued in any series it decides to issue, and to fix
the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of the preferred stock, including voting rights
and conversion rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereon. Accordingly, it is possible for the board to seek to authorize the
issuance of a series of preferred stock with rights and preferences that could
affect an attempt to acquire control of CollegeLink. For example, such
additional authorized shares could potentially be issued to dilute the stock
ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of CollegeLink, or shares of
preferred stock with favorable voting rights, such as the right to elect certain
additional directors, or to provide the holders of other special rights could be
created and issued to parties that support our management.



     Our certificate of incorporation divides our board of directors into three
classes, labeled Class I, Class II and Class III, each containing, insofar as
possible, an equal number of directors, with the term of one of the three
classes expiring each year at our annual meeting or special meeting in lieu of
such annual meeting. Our certificate of incorporation further provides that any
vacancy on the board of directors resulting from an increase in the number of
directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors
then in office, and any other vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although
less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to
fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors would
serve for a term equivalent to the remaining unserved portion of the term of
such newly elected director's predecessor.



     Under Delaware law, the holders of a majority of a corporation's
outstanding shares may remove directors with or without cause unless such power
of removal is limited by the corporation's certificate of incorporation. Our
certificate of incorporation contains no provision limiting such power. Such law
also provides that if a corporation's certificate of incorporation provides for
classification of directors, directors may be removed only for cause unless
otherwise set forth in the certificate of incorporation. Cause is not defined
under Delaware law for this purpose. Our certificate of incorporation provides
that incumbent directors may be removed by a majority of our stockholders only
for "cause." "Cause" for this purpose is defined as (a) willful and continued
material failure, refusal or inability to perform one's duties to us or the
willful engaging in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably damaging to us;
or (b) conviction for any crime involving moral turpitude or any other illegal
act that materially and adversely reflects upon our business, affairs or
reputation or on one's ability to perform one's duties to us.



     The foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation will restrict
the ability of our stockholders to change the composition of our board of
directors by extending the time required to elect a majority of directors from
one to two years, under most circumstances. Thus, the existence of a classified
board may have an anti-takeover effect because a person who has gained voting
control of CollegeLink will be unable to gain immediate control of our board of
directors unless the stockholder can obtain sufficient votes to amend our
certificate of incorporation pursuant to the supermajority requirements for such
an amendment set forth in our certificate of incorporation.

                                  UNDERWRITING


     Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an underwriting
agreement dated             , 1999, the underwriters named below, for whom
Cruttenden Roth Incorporated and Pennsylvania Merchant Group are acting as
representatives, have severally agreed to purchase from us, and we have agreed
to sell to the underwriters, the number of shares of common stock set forth
below opposite each underwriter's name, at the public offering price per share
less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of
this prospectus.

</TABLE>


     The underwriting agreement sets forth that the obligations of the several
underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares and provides that the
several underwriters will purchase all of the shares, if any of the shares are
purchased.


     The representatives have advised us that the underwriters initially propose
to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the initial public
offering price per share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to
certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $     per
share. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may reallow, a concession
not in excess of $     per share to other dealers. After this offering, the
public offering price, concession and re-allowance may be changed.



     We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable during the
45-day period after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate
of 450,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price per
share less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover
page of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise this option only to cover
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the sale of the shares of
common stock offered hereby. To the extent that the underwriters exercise this
option, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to
purchase the number of additional shares of common stock proportionate to the
underwriters' initial commitment reflected in the preceding table.



     We entered into a consulting agreement with the representatives pursuant
which we have agreed to pay the representatives an amount equal to 1.5% of the
aggregate price of the shares of common stock offered hereby including the
shares of common stock underlying the over allotment option, if and to the
extent it is exercised as set forth on the cover of this prospectus.


     We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against, or to
contribute to losses arising out of, untrue statements of omissions of material
facts contained in this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is
a part in connection with this offering. We and the underwriters are each aware
that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.


     The representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may engage in
over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size,
which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids
to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified
maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open
market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate
short positions. Penalty bids permit the representatives, on behalf of the
underwriters, to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the
shares originally sold by the syndicate member are


                                       53
<PAGE>   56

purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short
positions. Such over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering
transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the common stock to be
higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions. These
transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time.


     We have agreed not to and we believe that each of our directors, officers,
employees, stockholders, option holders and warrant holders will agree not to,
directly or indirectly, offer for sale, contract to sell, sell, grant any other
person the right to acquire or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any
transaction or arrangement which is designed to, or could be expected to, result
in the disposition at any time in the future of) any shares of common stock for
a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, without the consent of
the representatives. We believe that each of our directors, officers, employees,
stockholders, option holders and warrant holders will agree not to exercise any
registration rights relating to any shares of common stock for a period of 180
days after the date of this prospectus, without the consent of the
representatives. We have agreed not to file with the SEC a registration
statement relating to any securities, for a period of 180 days after the date of
this prospectus, without the consent of the representatives.


     Application will be made for quotation of the common stock on the Nasdaq
National Market System under the symbol "CLNK."


     In connection with this offering, we have agreed to sell the
representatives' warrants to the representatives for a nominal price. The
representatives' warrants entitle the representatives to purchase shares in an
amount equal to 10% of the total number of shares sold in this offering
(excluding shares subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option). The
shares issuable upon exercise of the representatives' warrants will be in all
respects identical to the shares offered to you. The representatives' warrants
will be limited to a term of five years from the date of this prospectus and
will be exercisable for a four-year period commencing 12 months after the date
of this prospectus, at a per share exercise price equal to 120% of the initial
public offering price per share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
The representatives' warrants may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated except to the underwriters' officers and employees. Pursuant to the
terms of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to register the securities
underlying the representatives' warrants in this offering. For the term of the
representatives' warrants, the holders thereof are given the opportunity to
profit from a rise in the market price of the common stock, which may result in
a dilution of the interest of other shareholders. As a result, we may find it
more difficult to raise additional equity capital if it should be needed for our
business while the representatives' warrants are outstanding. The holders of the
representatives' warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when we
would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms
more favorable to us than those provided by the representatives' warrants. Any
profit realized on the sale of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the
representatives' warrants may be deemed additional underwriting compensation.



     The preceding description includes a summary of the principal terms of the
underwriting agreement and the representatives' warrant agreements and does not
purport to be complete. The underwriting agreement and the form of
representatives' warrant agreement are filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part and should be referenced for the
complete contents of these documents. Each statement is qualified in all
respects by reference to these documents.



                                 LEGAL MATTERS



     The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for us by
Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP, Boston, Massachusetts. Legal matters will be passed
upon for the underwriters by Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP, Boston
Massachusetts.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Shareholders and Directors

Collegelink.com Incorporated



     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Collegelink.com
Incorporated as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three
years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997. 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 audit.


     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Collegelink.com Incorporated
as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  BUSINESS


     CollegeLink.com Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("CollegeLink.com"),
is the surviving corporation in a merger on November 16, 1999 between
Cytation.com Incorporated, a New York corporation and CollegeLink.com
Incorporated. Cytation.com Incorporated was the surviving corporation in a
merger on March 5, 1999 with Cytation Corporation, a Rhode Island corporation
which was previously known as Web Services International, Inc. (Cytation
Corporation, together with Web Services International, Inc. are herein
collectively referred to as "WSI") (Note 7). Cytation.com Incorporated was
previously known as Stylex Homes, Inc. ("Stylex"). Although Stylex was
incorporated in 1969, it did not conduct any business after 1992.



     CollegeLink.com is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.



     WSI was incorporated under the laws of the State of Rhode Island in January
1996 to market and host various forms of content on the World Wide Web and to
provide dial-up access to the Internet. Through the end of 1997, WSI marketed
the design, origination and hosting of Web sites and Web content to small and
medium size businesses. WSI also provided various consulting services to
customers in connection with the development and sale of Web content. In
December 1997, WSI entered into a joint venture and related contract for the
development of online training systems. At the time, WSI discontinued its Web
content sale and development business (except for work in process and Web
hosting) and focused its operations on the development of its online training
system which generated some revenue for the balance of the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999. As a result of the acquisition of ECI, Inc. in August 1999,
CollegeLink.com, through its CollegeLink Corporation subsidiary, is now engaged
in providing online college application and related services to high school
students and their parents (Note 12).



     CollegeLink.com, together with WSI, is hereinafter referred to as the
"Company". All references to share issuances are after the recapitalization
transaction in which each share of WSI was converted into 5.765 shares of
CollegeLink.com (Note 7).


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.  Basis of Presentation -- 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.  Furniture and Equipment -- Furniture 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.  Software Development Costs -- The Company capitalizes software
development costs in accordance with SFAS 86. The Company did not capitalize any
software development costs during the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Software development costs were fully amortized at June 30, 1999.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     d.  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.

     e.  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.

     f.  Revenue Recognition -- Revenues from Web services are recognized as
such services are performed. Revenues from Web site hosting are recognized on a
monthly basis. No revenue from Web design services was recorded for the year
ended June 30, 1999.

     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.

     Shares issued for services of non-employees are recorded at estimated fair
value.

     h.  Loss Per Share -- The Company has adopted SFAS 128, "Earnings per
Share." Earnings per common share are computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. The earnings per common share, assuming dilution, computation
gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares during the period. The
computation assumes that the outstanding stock options and warrants were
exercised and that the proceeds were used to purchase common shares of the
Company. Earnings per share computation for each of the three years ended June
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 have been restated to reflect this new standard.

     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 June 30, 1999
and 1998 respectively, the Company believes that there has been no impairment of
long-lived assets.

     j.  Advertising Costs -- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred except
for direct response advertising, the costs of which are deferred and amortized
over the period the related sales are recorded. There was no deferral or
amortization for direct response advertising costs for each of the three years
ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

3.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents highly liquid
investments with maturities of less than ninety days at June 30, 1999. The
Company did not have cash equivalents at June 30, 1998.

4.  JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT


     In December 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
EER Systems Inc. ("EER"), a supplier of systems design, development and
integration capabilities specializing in flight, information and training
systems. Cytation Corporation, a Delaware corporation, ("Cytation Delaware") was
incorporated pursuant to the joint venture agreement. Simultaneously, the
Company entered into a development agreement with Cytation Delaware, receiving
$500,000 to develop certain software.


     In July 1998 the Company purchased the assets of Cytation Delaware, of
which it was a fifty percent owner, in exchange for equity. (Note 7).

6.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS


     The Company issued a note payable of $300,000 in July 1998 to EER. The
Company repaid the note in May 1999. In addition, the Company issued to EER
175,000 common shares in settlement of a potential claim by EER that it was
entitled to convert the loan into a significantly greater number of common
shares.


     The Company received $370,000 from the issuance of six-month 12% debentures
in January and February 1999. This debt financing was repaid with the proceeds
of the sale of preferred stock in April 1999 (Note 7). The Company also issued
185,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the repayment of the
debentures.

     The Company had two short-term debt instruments outstanding at June 30,
1998 payable to shareholders totaling approximately $58,000. Both debt
instruments were non-interest bearing and were repaid during the year ended June
30, 1999.

7.  EQUITY AND OTHER FINANCING

     a.  During the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company issued
$18,750 and $50,000 of debt with 36,994 and 49,325 shares, respectively. The
amounts allocated to the shares have been recorded as debt discount and were
amortized.

     b.  In February 1997, the Company completed a sale of 691,800 of its common
shares at $1.30 per share. A portion of these shares was sold over the Internet.


     c.  During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued $105,000 of
debt units consisting of promissory notes and stock purchase warrants ("Units").
The promissory notes were automatically converted to shares of Series A 10%
Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share, with a stated value of
$1,000 ("CPS"). In addition each preferred shareholder received one stock
purchase warrant for each share of common stock received upon conversion of the
CPS. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a
purchase price per share of $1.30 per share.



     d.  During July through November 1997, the Company issued approximately
$438,000 of additional Units. The promissory notes were automatically
convertible into CPS. In addition, each preferred shareholder received one stock
purchase warrant for each share of common stock received upon conversion of the
CPS. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a
purchase price per share of $1.30. Each share of CPS was subject to mandatory
and automatic conversion into the Company's common shares upon the effective
date of an initial public offering of the Company's common

shares or September 1, 1998, whichever occurred first. All shares of CPS were
automatically converted into the Company's common shares on September 1, 1998.


     e.  In October 1997, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to
change the aggregate number of shares the Company has authority to issue from
1,000,000 to 1,001,000, consisting of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001
par value per share, and 1,000 shares of preferred stock. Thereafter, the board
of directors of the Company authorized the issuance of the CPS, which was issued
to the holders of the Units in cancellation of their promissory notes. In the
year ended June 30, 1999, the Company cancelled the authorization of one
thousand shares of $0.001 par value, preferred stock.


     f.  In July 1998, the Company issued approximately 1,325,000 shares of its
common stock to acquire the assets of Cytation Delaware (Note 4). The assets
have been recorded at $2,299 which approximates the fair market value of the
shares at the time of the transaction.


     g.  In July 1998, the Company issued a warrant for services to purchase
5,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per
share, which approximates fair value at time of issuance.

     h.  In December 1998, when management believed the fair market value of the
shares was $0.002 per share, management reduced the exercise price of previously
outstanding stock options to $0.002 and all employees exercised such shares for
compensation. Such compensation was recorded at $0.002 per share for 1,372,000
shares.

     i.  In December 1998, the Company issued approximately 29,000 warrants,
expiring in August 2001, exercisable at $0.52, in connection with a sale of
stock in prior years.

     j.  In January 1999, the Company received $195,000 from the issuance in a
private placement of approximately 375,000 shares of its common stock.


     k.  On March 5, 1999 Cytation Corporation was acquired by Cytation.com
Incorporated (later renamed CollegeLink.com Incorporated) through a "reverse
merger" transaction, whereby each outstanding share of Cytation Corporation
(formerly WSI) was converted into 5.765 shares of CollegeLink.com Incorporated.
The merger has been accounted for as a "Recapitalization" as if CollegeLink.com
Incorporated issued additional shares for the $233 of assets of Stylex Homes,
Inc. The number of common share information has been adjusted to reflect the
effects of the merger agreement.



     l.  In April 1999, the Company received $3,100,000 in exchange for 775,000
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 Preferred A into 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.


     In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or
winding up of the affairs of the Company, 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.

     m.  In March 1999, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to
change the aggregate number of shares the Company has authority to issue to
110,000,000 shares, consisting of 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.

are not principals of shareholders which own more than 10% of the Company,
options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock annually, the
first grant to be effective May 7, 1999 and the second and all subsequent grants
to be effective on the day of the Company's annual meeting. As of June 30, 1999
the Company had 20,000 options, exercisable at $6.00 per option, outstanding.

     q.  For disclosure purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value
of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for stock options granted during the years ended June 30, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively: annual dividends of $0.00, expected volatility of
65% at June 30, 1999 and 20.0% at June 30, 1998 and 1997, risk-free interest
rate of 5.7% and expected life of five years for all grants. The
weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended
June 30, 1999 was $1.48, and $0.77 for both years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
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, $2,913,000, $672,000 and $902,000,
$0.45, $0.19 and $0.30, in years ended June 30 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

related price ranges for shares of the Company's common stock:

     The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for

$3,800,000, expiring in 2013 and 2014. SFAS 109 additionally requires the
establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization
of deferred tax assets. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, a valuation allowance was
provided against the tax asset.

     the estimated average fair market value at the date at which the merger
     transaction is to be consummated. The total dollar basis of the Common
     Stock recorded in the pro forma financial statements at June 30, 1999 was
     $1,350,000.


          c.  The acquisition cost of SSI is the shares to be issued recorded at
     $4,500,000 plus $3,500,000 of cash.

3.  GOODWILL


     The financial statements of CollegeLink will include the operations of ECI,
OSN and SSI from the date of each actual acquisition. Based upon preliminary
evaluations, all of the excess of each purchase price over each previously

amortized over ten years. Such amortization has been included in the pro forma
financial statements.


4.  SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
ECI, Inc.
Clinton, Massachusetts

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ECI, INC., as of
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audit.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 ECI, Inc. as of December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders'
deficit, and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

     As discussed in Note 14, the company has incurred recurring losses and
accumulated deficit of $3,352,932. Liabilities exceed assets by $2,557,135.
These conditions indicate that unless the Company obtains substantial additional

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

     ECI, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in 1991. The Company's primary
product is CollegeLink, a software system which enables students to apply to
their college choices, and enables the college to receive that application
information electronically. In October 1993, the Company sold essentially all of
its assets to Enrollment Technologies, Inc.


     In May 1996, the Company bought the business back through an arrangement
wherein Enrollment Technologies, Inc. retained an interest for future
considerations as part of the purchase agreement. Since reacquiring the
business, the Company has encountered difficulty in achieving user acceptance of
its products. On August 10, 1999, CollegeLink.com Incorporated acquired the
Company. Substantially all the outstanding shares of ECI, Inc. were exchanged
for preferred and common shares of CollegeLink.com Incorporated.



     Prior to being acquired by CollegeLink.com Incorporated, all notes payable
to investors and an officer were exchanged for common shares of ECI, Inc. Also,
all outstanding stock purchase warrants and vested stock options were exchanged
for common shares of ECI, Inc. at a price of $.01 per share.


SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  Income Taxes

     The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the
Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of corporation income
taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate
share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for
federal income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

  Depreciation

     Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis using the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. The Company's fixed assets are comprised of
office and computer equipment with estimated useful lives of three years (See
Note 2).

  Estimates

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

  Advertising Costs

     The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Expenses for
advertising production costs are expensed at the beginning of each year's
college application season which generally begins in the fall months.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Revenue Recognition

     Service revenues are recognized when the students' college application is
processed. The Company requires payment at the time the application is
processed.

  Software Costs

     The Company defers charging software development costs to expense during
the college application season when the software is utilized. During 1998, the
Company incurred $152,750 for software used during the 1998-1999 college
application season. $51,000 was charged to expense during 1998, and $101,750 of
software development costs will be charged to expense during the latter half of
the college application season (January-April 1999).

NOTE 2.  FIXED ASSETS

     The Company's fixed assets consisted of:

NOTE 9.  STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Company established the 1992 Stock Plan (the "Plan") which provides for
the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees and other
individuals performing services for the Company. The Board of Directors (the
"Board") is responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Board determines
the term of each option, option price,number of shares for which each option is
granted, whether restrictions will be imposed on the shares subject to options,
and the rate at which each option is exercisable. The exercise price for
incentive stock options granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value per share of the underlying common stock on the date granted (110% for
options granted to holders of more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company).
The Board shall determine the exercise price for non-qualified options.

     The terms of non-qualified stock options granted under the Plan generally
cannot exceed ten years. The term of incentive stock options granted cannot
exceed ten years (five years for options granted to holders of more than 10% of
the voting stock of the Company).

     The Plan allows for issuance of up to 35,000 shares of common stock. At
December 31, 1998, 4,778 shares were available for future grant.

     A summary of the option activity under the Plan is as follows:

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-based Compensation", requires the disclosure of pro forma information on
the fair value of options to purchase stock, and the impact on earnings of any
compensatory value associated with the difference in option grant prices and the
fair value of the optioned stock shares. Management believes that it is
virtually impossible to reasonably estimate the fair values of outstanding
options to purchase common shares at December 31, 1998, and therefore has not
disclosed information about such values, which would otherwise be required by
SFAS No. 123.

NOTE 10.  STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

financing described in Note 5. In aggregate, warrants for the purchase of 63,278
shares of the Company's $.01 par value common stock were granted. 611 warrants
were granted for a share price of $20.45. 36,200 warrants were granted for a
share price defined as "50% of the per share price paid by a major investor at
the next equity finance". The remaining 26,467 warrants were granted for a share
price equal to "100% of the per share price paid by a major investor at the next
equity financing".

     The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception and has
an accumulated deficit at December 31, 1998 of $3,352,932. Liabilities exceed
assets by $2,557,135. These conditions indicate that unless the Company obtains
substantial additional financing resources, the Company may not be able to
continue operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the financial statements that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of ECI, Inc.
("the Company"). Such statements have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the SEC and reflect all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) which are
necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period
reported. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS


     On August 10, 1999, CollegeLink.com Incorporated ("CollegeLink.com")
acquired the Company. Substantially all the outstanding shares of the Company
were exchanged for preferred and common shares of CollegeLink.com.



     Prior to being acquired by CollegeLink.com, all notes payable to investors
and an officer were exchanged for common shares of the Company. Also, all
outstanding stock purchase warrants and vested stock options were exchanged for
common shares of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share.

Managing Members
Online Network, L.L.C.
T/A Online Scouting Network

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Online Network, L.L.C.
T/A Online Scouting Network (the "Company") as of September 30, 1998 and 1997,
and the related statements of operations and cash flows for each of the two
years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. 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 audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September
30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the two years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                    YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

1.  BUSINESS

     Online Network, L.L.C. T/A Online Scouting Network (the "Company") was
organized in November 1995 under the laws of Delaware. It was organized to
create the Online Scouting Network, a nationwide online database of high school
student-athletes for use by colleges and universities as an athletic recruiting
tool.

     In August 1999, the Company reorganized as a "C" corporation in
contemplation of a private placement of its securities. Since then, the Company
has abandoned the private placement and has presently agreed to be acquired by
another company subject to the execution of definitive agreements.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.  Basis of Presentation -- 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, software and
furniture.

     c.  Software Development Costs -- The Company capitalizes software
development costs in accordance with SFAS 86. The Company capitalized
approximately $42,000 in the year ended September 30, 1997. The Company did not
capitalize any software development costs during the year ended September 30,
1998.

     Amortization included in the accompanying financial statements for years
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $26,000 and $25,000
respectively.

     d.  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.

     e.  Income Taxes -- The results of limited liability company operation are
included on the income tax return of each member. Accordingly, no provision for
income taxes is included in these financial statements.

     f.  Revenue Recognition -- Revenues consist of yearly contracts which are
being recognized on a straight-line basis over the twelve month period of the
contract.

     g.  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 September 30,
1998 and 1997 respectively, the Company believes that there has been no
impairment of long-lived assets.

     h.  Advertising Costs -- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising expense amounted to approximately $36,000 and $75,000 for the years
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     i.  Costs of Start-Up Activities -- The Company has adopted Statement of
Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities". This statement
requires costs of start-up activities and organization

costs to be expensed as incurred. The Company, since inception, has incurred
start-up costs totaling approximately $38,000. In January 1996 through September
1996 the Company amortized start-up costs using the straight-line method over a
five-year life. In the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company expensed the
remaining balance of approximately $32,000.

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Online
Network, L.L.C. ("the Company"). Such statements have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the SEC and
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) which
are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period
reported. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto
for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS


     In August 1999, the Company reorganized as a "C" corporation in
comtemplation of a private placement of its securities. Since then, the Company
has abandoned the private placement and has presently agreed to be acquired by
CollegeLink.com Incorporated subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Student Success, Inc.
Cincinnati, Ohio

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Student Success (a
Division of Graphic Management Corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related statements of income and changes in division equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. 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 Student Success (a Division
of Graphic Management Corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  A DIVISION OF GRAPHIC MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Nature of Business

     Student Success (d/b/a Making College Count) is a national training and
advisory organization that teaches college-bound students how to succeed in
college and prepare themselves throughout their academic career to maximize
their opportunities upon graduation. A primary source of funding is generated
through corporate sponsorship.

  Use of Estimates

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

     A summary of the Division's significant accounting policies follows:

  Reporting Entity

     This entity is a Division of Graphic Management Corporation (GMC). These
financial statements include only the accounts of the Division referred to as
Student Success.

  Revenue Recognition

     The major source of revenue comes from corporate sponsorships. Under annual
contracts, the sponsors agree to compensate the Division for promotion to
program participants through distributed literature and other means of exposure.

     Deferred revenue liability represents amount billed or received for which
programs have yet to be presented.

  Property and equipment:

     Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
principally by straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.

  Intangible:

     Intangible asset consists of rights to the "Making College Count Program."
These rights were acquired in 1996 for $50,000 and are being amortized over 15
years using the straight-line method.

  Income taxes:

     GMC has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the
Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, as a Division of GMC, the financial
statements do not include a provision for income taxes because the Division does
not incur federal or state income taxes. Instead, its earnings and losses are
included in the stockholders' personal income tax returns and are taxed based on
their personal tax strategies.

NOTE 2.  PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

     GMC maintains a qualified 401(k) retirement savings plan that covers
substantially all employees including employees of the Division. The Plan allows
the Division's employees to make voluntary contributions to the Plan. The
Division's contribution to the Plan includes a match of 25% of the first 5% of
employees' elective deferrals, and may include a discretionary contribution as
determined by the Board of Directors. Division contributions to the Plan for
1998 and 1997 were $1,411 and $5,082, respectively.

NOTE 3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT CORPORATION

     Certain operating expenses are allocated to the Division from GMC in the
ordinary course of business. Additionally, certain expenses have been absorbed
by GMC which would be ordinary expenses of the Division if it was operating
independently. Such expenses include, but may not be limited to, rent,
utilities, clerical support and certain operating overhead expenses.

NOTE 4.  SPONSORSHIP CONTRACTS

     As of December 31, 1998, the Division had secured commitments for
approximately $1,250,000 of sponsorship revenue representing eight contracts.
Terms of the promotional agreements limit the number of sponsorship contracts to
eight during the contract period ending August 31, 1999. Through December 31,
1998, no revenues had been recognized under these contracts, as program
presentation commenced in 1999.

NOTE 5.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     The Division maintains a bank account at one financial institution. At
December 31, 1998, the Division had approximately $103,000 in its account in
excess of federally insured limits.

NOTE 6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Effective January 1, 1999, the assets of the Division were sold to a newly
created S corporation.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                                  (UNAUDITED)



1. Reference is made to the financial statements included in the Company's
   Annual Report (Form 10-KSB) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
   for the year ended June 30, 1999.



   The financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
   are unaudited and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of
   management, are necessary to a fair statement of the results of operations
   for the periods then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
   nature. The results of the Company's operations for any interim period are
   not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company's operations for a
   full fiscal year.



2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



     a. The Company entered into a lease agreement in September 1999, expiring
        in November 30, 2004. Rental expense for the entire five-year period
        totals approximately $641,000. The Company has recorded a deferred rent
        credit of approximately $10,000 for the first month of free rent and
        will amortize the credit over the lease term.



     b. The Company adopted a 401K plan in July 1999.



     c. The Company entered into agreements for directors and officers liability
        insurance.



3. ACQUISITION TRANSACTIONS



     a. On August 10, 1999, the Company acquired ECI, Inc. through a merger
        transaction. ECI is an innovator of electronic college applications and
        a supplier of products and services to college-bound students, their
        parents and colleges.



        The acquisition was structured as a merger of ECI with and into the
        Company's wholly-owned subsidiary CollegeLink Corporation
        ("CollegeLink"). As consideration for the merger, the Company issued
        550,809 of its common shares, 234,771 of its Series B Stock and paid
        $489 in cash. CollegeLink also assumed approximately $778,000 of ECI
        liabilities in connection with the merger and settled a claim against
        ECI in exchange for 108,196 shares of the Company's common stock and
        45,000 share of the Company's Series B stock (see Pro forma in 10-KSB).



     b. The Company has entered into letters of intent to buy two companies,
        Online Scouting Network, Inc. and Student Success, Inc. for a total of
        $9,350,000, payable in cash of $3,500,000 with the balance in common
        stock. The acquisitions will be treated as purchases.



4. EQUITY AND FINANCING



     a. In September 1999, the Company received $460,000 in exchange for 115,000
        shares of 6% cumulative preferred stock designated as "Series A
        Convertible Preferred Stock" ("Preferred A") from five accredited
        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.



        In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
        or winding up of the affairs of the Company, 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 capital stock.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)



     b. 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 Investment Corp.
        Preferred C has a stated value of $4.00 per share, a par value of $0.01
        per share and dividends payable quarterly.



        PNC may at any time convert the Preferred C into common stock of the
        Company at a ratio of one share of common stock for each share of
        Preferred C, but in no event be entitled to convert any shares of
        Preferred C nor shall the Company require conversion of any shares of
        Preferred C in excess of that number of shares of Preferred C upon the
        conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of common stock
        owned by PNC and (2) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
        the conversion of the number of shares of Preferred C would result in
        the beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the issued and outstanding
        shares of common stock.



        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.



        In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
        or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of the issued
        and outstanding Preferred C are entitled to receive $4.00 for each share
        of Preferred C, before any distribution of the assets of the Company
        shall be made to the holders of any capital stock, except for holders of
        Series A Preferred Stock Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have
        the rights and preferences as previously adopted by the Company's Board
        of Directors.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.



     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law affords a Delaware
corporation the power to indemnify its present and former directors and officers
under certain conditions. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we
shall indemnify each person who at any time is, or shall have been, a director
or officer and was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a
director, officer, trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action,
suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, to the maximum extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended. Our certificate of incorporation also contains provisions authorizing
the advancement of expenses incurred in connection with certain applicable
proceedings.



     No amendment to or termination or repeal of these provisions of our
certificate of incorporation shall deprive a director or officer of the benefit
thereof with respect to any action, transaction or facts occurring prior to such
amendment, termination or repeal. In addition, our certificate of incorporation
provides that the foregoing rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses
shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which the director or
officer may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.



     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law gives a Delaware
corporation the power to adopt a charter provisions eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for
breach of fiduciary duty as directors, provided that such provision may not
eliminate or limit the liability of directors for (i) any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) any acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) any payment of a dividend or approval of a stock
purchase that is illegal under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides that to the


                                      II-1
<PAGE>   123


maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, none of our
directors shall be personally liable to us or to any of our stockholders for
monetary damages arising out of such director's breach of fiduciary duty as a
director of CollegeLink. No amendment to or repeal of these provisions shall
apply to or have any effect on the liability or the alleged liability of any
director with respect to any act or omission of such director occurring prior to
such amendment or repeal. A principal effect of such provisions is to limit or
eliminate the potential liability of our directors for monetary damages arising
from breaches of their duty of care, unless the breach involves one of the four
exceptions described in (i) through (iv) above.



     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also affords a Delaware
corporation the power to obtain insurance on behalf of its directors and
officers against liabilities incurred by them in those capacities. We maintain
insurance coverage under which our directors and officers are insured, subject
to the limits of the policy, against certain losses, as defined in the policy,
arising from claims made against such directors and officers by reason of any
wrongful acts as defined in the policy, in their respective capacities as
directors or officers.



     Reference is also made to section of the Underwriting Agreement, which
provides for the indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling
persons against certain liabilities. The indemnification provisions in our
certificate of incorporation may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification
of our directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933.


ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.


     The following information is furnished with regard to all securities sold
by us within the past three years which were not registered under the Securities
Act.


     (a) ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK.

     In July 1998, we issued approximately 1,325,000 shares of our common stock
to acquire the assets of Cytation Delaware. The assets have been recorded at
$2,299, which approximates the fair market value of the shares at the time of
the transaction.

     In July 1998, we issued a warrant for services to purchase 5,000 shares of
our common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share, which approximates fair
value at time of issuance.

     In July 1998, when our management believed the fair market value of our
common stock was $0.002 per share, management reduced the exercise price of
previously outstanding employee stock options to $0.002 and all employees
exercised such shares. The exercise price was paid by us and treated as
compensation. Such compensation was recorded at $0.002 per share for 1,372,000
shares.

     In December 1998, we issued approximately 29,000 warrants, expiring in
August 2001, exercisable at $0.52, in connection with a sale of stock in prior
years.

     In January 1999, we received $195,000 from the issuance in a private
placement of approximately 65,000 shares of the common stock of Cytation
Corporation, a Rhode Island corporation ("Cytation RI"). On March 5, 1999,
Cytation RI was merged into us (the "Stylex Merger"). Pursuant to the Stylex
Merger, each share of common stock of Cytation RI was automatically changed and
converted into 5.765 shares of our common stock. Also pursuant to the Stylex
Merger, each option to purchase one share of Common Stock of Cytation RI was
automatically converted and changed into an option to purchase 5.765 shares of
our common stock and each warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock of
Cytation RI was automatically converted and changed into an option to purchase
5.765 shares of our common stock.

     During fiscal 1999 we agreed to issue 504,000 shares to unrelated parties
for financial services, which shares were recorded at fair market value at the
time of the agreement of $0.002 per share. In April and May 1999, we issued
55,000 shares to unrelated parties for financial services, which shares were
recorded at fair market values from $6.50 per share to $7.50 per share.

                                      II-2
<PAGE>   124

     In June 1999, we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock for the purchase
of computer equipment expected to be utilized to develop an expanded application
for our online training software. This equipment was valued at $145,000.

     In August 1999, we issued 25,000 shares of common stock to unrelated
parties for financial services, which were recorded at their fair market value
of $7.625.


     (b) ISSUANCES OF PREFERRED STOCK.


     During July through November 1997, we issued approximately $438,000 of debt
units consisting of promissory notes and stock purchase warrants ("Units"). The
promissory notes were automatically convertible into shares of Series A 10%
convertible preferred stock, $.001 par value with a stated value of $1,000
("CPS"). Each share of CPS was automatically converted into shares of our common
stock on September 1, 1998. In addition, each preferred shareholder received one
stock purchase warrant for each share of common stock received upon conversion
of the CPS. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common
stock at a purchase price per share of $1.30 per share.

     In October 1997, we amended our certificate of incorporation to change the
aggregate number of shares we have authority to issue from 1,000,000 to
1,001,000, consisting of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per
share, and 1,000 shares of preferred stock. Thereafter, our board of directors
authorized the issuance of the CPS, which was issued to the holders of the Units
in cancellation of their promissory notes. In year ended June 30, 1999, we
cancelled the authorization of the 1000 shares of .001 par value preferred
stock.

     On April 2, 1999, we issued and sold 775,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration of $3,100,000.


     In September 1999, we issued and sold 115,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to five accredited investors.


     On September 30, 1999, we issued and sold 1,000,000 shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock to PNC Investment Corp. for an aggregate
consideration of $4,000,000.


     On October 26, 1999, we issued and sold 250,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to Bost & Co. for an aggregate consideration of
$1,000,000.


     (c) ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK IN CONNECTION WITH THE
ECI MERGER.

     On August 10, 1999, ECI, Inc. merged (the "ECI Merger") into
CollegeLink.com, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned
subsidiary. Pursuant to the ECI Merger, each share of Common Stock of ECI was
automatically changed and converted into 550,809 shares of our common stock and
234,771 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

     In connection with the ECI Merger, we, ECI and USA Group Noel-Levitz, Inc.
("USA Group") entered into a letter agreement in settlement of certain claims
made by USA Group. Pursuant to this Letter Agreement, we issued and sold to USA
Group 108,196 shares of our common stock and 45,000 shares of our Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock.

     In connection with the ECI Merger, we also issued 9,836 shares of common
stock to Wolf Rock Corporation.

     (d) GRANTS OF OUR STOCK OPTIONS.

     From December, 1998 through September, 1999, we granted options to purchase
an aggregate of 1,716,185 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a weighted
average exercise price of $4.59 per share.

     The issuances described in this Item 15 were made in reliance upon the
exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering. None of the
foregoing transactions involved a distribution or public offering. No
underwriters were engaged in connection with the foregoing issuances of
securities, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the
                                      II-5
<PAGE>   127

payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

     (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

     (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
