Cush, Here's some more info to chew on. The Bridges.com sales team has achieved its annual sales goals, exceeding the 2,250 new site sales projected for fiscal 1999. Over 2,400 new sites subscribed to Career Explorer in the first 11 months of fiscal 1999, more than doubling the subscriber base from November of 1998. 1,875 new sites were sold by the internal selling team, with 570 added as part of an Ontario-wide purchase in February. "The productivity of our sales team has been very consistent," said Doug Manning, CEO and President, Bridges.com. "This has allowed us to deal with corporate growth in a controlled yet productive manner." More than 4,500 sites across North America now subscribe to Career Explorer. Recent Accomplishments and Developments Monthly Hit Rates Reach Record Level More than 33 million hits were recorded on Bridges.com Web sites in October of this year -- four times the 8.4 million recorded in October of 1998. This represents more than 1.5 million hits per school day, a new monthly high. More than 135 million hits, over 32 million page views, have been recorded on Bridges.com Web sites in 1999. 154 New Subscribers in October New subscribers in 18 states and 2 provinces pushed CX subscriptions over the 4,500 mark, achieving the stated subscriber goal for 1999. The 4,540 subscribing schools represent 12.5% of the middle and secondary school market in North America. 350 new sites were added in the first two months of Q4. This compares to 187 sales in September and October of 1998. 99 Revenues Up Over 1998 Revenues for the first 11 months of fiscal 1999 total $4,720,428 -- an improvement over 1998's total revenues of $3,014,145. These achievements are attributed to continued high rates of resubscription and last year's increase of the selling team from six to 10 sellers. Bridges.com's stated revenue goal for 1999 is $4.8 million. Bridges.com Daily News Launched on CanLearn Human Resources Development Canada's CanLearn site was released to the public on October 28. This comprehensive educational site includes a free daily education news called The Learning Edge E-Zine, created and maintained by Bridges.com (canlearn.bridges.com/news.htm). This educational site accompanies the free career news provided by Bridges.com to CanWorkNet, a government-funded not-for-profit (workinfonet.bridges.com). Bridges.com Scholarship Bridges.com announced in October that it will underwrite three sets of annual scholarships for students who display initiative in career-life planning. The scholarships - for local students, subscribing schools, and the children of Bridges.com employees - are worth $1,000 each. "Becoming a successful company involves giving back, and reinforcing core corporate values," says Doug Manning, CEO and President, Bridges.com. "These scholarships are more than good corporate citizenship, they're a natural extension of Bridges.com's philosophy." 4,540 Sites Accessing as of October 7,784,725 Total Pages Viewed In October 33,174,122 Total Hits In October
