The meeting is to be held on Wednesday, October 2, 2002 at 10:00 a.m. at The Mansion on Main Street, Plaza 3000, Voorhees, New Jersey. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2002 will be entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment of that meeting. As of that date, 12,130,712 shares of common stock of Canterbury were outstanding and entitled to one vote each. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a stockholder's right to attend the meeting and vote in person. Any shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised. Any proxies that are sent in by stockholders may be revoked before October 2, 2002 at 10:00 a.m. by mail or other deliveries in writing, or by voice vote if the shareholder attends the Annual Meeting in person. The people named as attorneys in the proxies are either Officers or Directors of Canterbury. With respect to the election of a Board of Directors, shares represented by proxies in the enclosed form, which are received, will be voted as explained below under the heading Election of Directors. Where a choice has been specified on the proxy with respect to a proposal, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the choice selected and will be votes FOR that proposal if no specification is indicated. Under Pennsylvania law, the presence of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast on a particular matter to be acted upon at a meeting, constitutes a quorum for purposes of consideration and action on a matter. Only stockholders indicating affirmative or negative decision on a matter are treated as voting. Abstentions, broker non-votes or mere absence or failure to vote is not equivalent to a negative decision and will not count towards a quorum, and if a quorum is otherwise present, effect the outcome of a vote. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy but does not have authority to vote a customer's shares on one or more matters. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting is required for approval of each of the actions proposed to be taken at the Annual Meeting. If a stockholders' meeting is called for the election of Directors and is adjourned for lack of a quorum and another stockholders' meeting is called, those stockholders entitled to vote who attend the adjourned meeting, although less than a quorum as fixed under Pennsylvania law or in the by-laws, shall be a quorum for the purpose of electing Directors. If a meeting called to vote upon any other matter than the election of Directors has been adjourned for at least 15 days because of the absence of a quorum, those stockholders entitled to vote who attend such meeting, although less than a quorum as fixed under Pennsylvania law or in the by-laws shall still constitute a quorum for purpose of acting upon any matter set forth in the notice of meeting. If the notice actually states that those stockholders who attend the adjourned meeting shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose upon acting on the matter, then the vote would be binding. Canterbury is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the meeting. If any other matters are presented at the meeting upon which it is proper to take a vote, shares represented by all proxies received will be voted by and in the judgment of the persons named as proxies. An Annual Report containing the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2001 as filed with the SEC including complete financial statements audited by Baratz & Associates, P.A. is enclosed with, but not as a part of, this Proxy Statement. Canterbury's Form 10-Q report for the period ended May 31, 2002 are available upon request from the Company's Investor Relations Department or online at www.sec.gov. The date that this Proxy Statement and proxy material are being sent to the stockholders is on or about August 30, 2002. Proposal No. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS - -------------------------------------- Seven Directors are to be elected at the meeting, each to serve until the next Annual Meeting and until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified. Each of the nominees named in the following pages is presently a member of the Board of Directors.

MANAGEMENT INDEBTEDNESS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS - ------------------------------------------------ The present Officers and Directors have the following related transactions with the Company. On April 10, 2001, the Company sold 550,000 restricted shares of Canterbury common stock to the following Officers and Directors as an incentive to continue and increase their efforts on behalf of the Company: Stanton M. Pikus 200,000 Frank A. Cappiello 50,000 Kevin J. McAndrew 150,000 Alan Manin 25,000 Jean Z. Pikus 100,000 Stephen Vineberg 25,000 These shares of restricted common stock were purchased at $1.04 (the National Market Nasdaq closing price at the time of purchase) with interest bearing, recourse notes made payable to the Company. The notes carried an interest rate of 4.0% and were due and payable on or before April, 2006. These notes and accrued interest were collateralized by the issued shares. Interest was accrued and payable quarterly. Each recipient also has granted the Company a 15-day right of first refusal, in any sale of these shares. On May 16, 2001, the Company sold 700,000 restricted shares of Canterbury common stock to the following Officers and Directors for various services: Stanton M. Pikus 250,000 Jean Z. Pikus 75,000 Kevin J. McAndrew 150,000 Stephen Vineberg 50,000 Frank A. Cappiello 135,000 Alan Manin 40,000 These shares of restricted common stock were purchased at $1.15 (the National Market Nasdaq closing price at the time of purchase) with interest bearing, recourse notes made payable to the Company. The notes carried an interest rate of 4.0% and were due and payable on or before May, 2006. These notes and accrued interest were collateralized by the issued shares. Interest was accrued and payable quarterly. Each recipient also has granted the Company a 15-day right of first refusal, in any sale of these shares. On July 17, 2002 the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved a modification of the April 10, 2001 and the May 16, 2001 notes. The notes shall become non-recourse as to principal and interest as of September 1, 2002 with the issued shares continuing to collateralize the notes. Principal and interest must be paid by recipient before they are entitled to sell their respective shares. If principal and interest have not been paid by the maturity date of the recipient notes, then recipients' sole obligation shall be that any shares relating to this nonpayment will be forfeited and returned to the Company. In consideration for this modification the term of these notes was reduced and shortened from April and May, 2006 to December 31, 2004. The Board also prohibited the issuance of any stock options, stock or any other form of equity for all of Fiscal 2002 to the recipients. In the past, the Board has issued and/or granted significant amounts of equity (in the form of stock options or stock purchases) to these recipients on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee did not wish any additional dilution of Company stock at the current low prices. Also by reducing the term of the notes the Compensation Committee believes that management would have a further inducement to accelerate their efforts to increase shareholder value or risk the loss of their shares. The principal and interest for both sales may be paid in cash or the transfer of stock valued at 100% of the then current market price of any publicly traded company. There is no prepayment penalty on either principal or interest payments. For information regarding stock option grants to Directors and Officers please refer to the sections Option Grants and Directors' Remuneration.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD AND MEETING ATTENDANCE - ---------------------------------------------- The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. The two committees are currently composed entirely of Independent Directors (Frank A. Cappiello, Paul Shapiro and Stephen Vineberg). The Company had 21 meetings of the Board of Directors during the last full fiscal year. There was no incumbent who, during the last full fiscal year, attended fewer than 91% of said meetings. The Compensation Committee, met 9 times during the last fiscal year. The Audit Committee met 6 times during the last fiscal year. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation - -------------------------------------------------------------- Overview and Philosophy The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the compensation of, and the compensation policies with respect to, the Company's executive officers, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and administering certain of the Company's stock benefit plans. The Compensation Committee is composed of three of the Company's Independent Directors - Frank Cappiello (Chairman), Paul Shapiro and Stephen Vineberg. The objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to: * Attract and retain key executives critical to the long-term success of the Company; * Align the interests of executive officers with the interests of stockholders and the success of the Company; and * Recognize and reward individual performance and responsibility. Executive Compensation Program General. The Company's executive compensation program consists of base salary and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options or other incentives such as stock loans. In addition, executive officers participate in benefit programs that are available to the Company's employees, generally. These benefit programs include medical benefits and the 401(k) Plan. Base Compensation. Mr. Stanton M. Pikus, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer until June 1, 2001 and Mr. Kevin J. McAndrew, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer until June 1, 2001 and then the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, entered into new multi-year employment agreements with the Company during Fiscal 2001. During 2001, compensation for Mr. Pikus and Mr. McAndrew were set within the range of compensation for chief executives with comparable qualifications, experience, length of service and responsibilities at other companies in the same or similar businesses, based on the determination of and approved by the Compensation Committee. Subsequent to November 30, 2001, Jean Z. Pikus, the Company's Vice President entered into a multi-year employment agreement with the Company. During 2001 and subsequently, compensation for Ms. Pikus was set within the range of compensation for executives with comparable qualifications, experience, length of service and responsibilities at other companies in the same or similar businesses, based on the determination of and approved by the Compensation Committee. During the Year 2001, compensation for other officers and/or key employees was set within the range of compensation for executives and/or key employees with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at other companies in the same or similar businesses, based on the determination of management. In addition, base compensation for each officer and/or key employee was determined on a case-by-case basis in light of each individual's contribution to the Company as a whole, including the ability to motivate others, develop the necessary skills to grow as the Company matures, recognize and pursue new business opportunities and initiate programs to enhance the Company's growth and success. Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Company provides long-term incentives to its executive officers and key employees in the form of stock options and/or the opportunity to purchase restricted common stock of the Company by promissory notes. The objectives of this program are to align executive and stockholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between executive compensation and stockholder return, and to enable executives to develop and maintain a significant, long-term stock ownership position in the common stock. Stock options are granted at an option exercise price that is determined by the Board as of the date of grant. However, the option exercise price nor the stock sale price may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option is granted. Accordingly, the stock options will only have value if the Company's stock price increases above the fair market value of the common stock at the time they were granted. In selecting executives eligible to receive option grants and determining the amount and frequency of such grants, the Company evaluates a variety of factors, including (i) the job level of the executive and/or key employee, (ii) option grants awarded by competitors to executives and/or key employees at comparable job levels and (iii) past, current and prospective service to the Company rendered, or to be rendered, by the executive and/or key employee. Please refer to the table labeled Options Granted to see options granted in Fiscal 2001. Submitted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc. Frank Cappiello, Chairman Paul Shapiro Stephen Vineberg Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors The Audit Committee reviewed the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2001 and discussed these financial statements with the Company's management. Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Company's independent accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report on those financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes. As appropriate, the Audit Committee reviews and evaluates, and discusses with the Company's management, internal accounting, financial and auditing personnel and the independent accountants, the following: * the plan for, and the independent accountants' report on, each audit of the Company's financial statements; * the Company's financial disclosure documents, including all financial statements and reports filed with the SEC or sent to stockholders; * changes in the Company's accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies; * significant developments or changes in accounting rules applicable to the Company; and * the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and accounting, financial and auditing personnel. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements and the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) with Baratz & Associates, PA, the Company's independent auditors. SAS 61 requires the Company's independent auditors to discuss with the Company's Audit Committee, among other things, the following: * methods to account for significant unusual transactions; * the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; * the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the accountants' conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and * disagreements with management over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management's accounting estimates and the disclosures in the financial statements. The Company's independent auditors also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 requires auditors annually to disclose in writing all relationships that in the auditors' professional opinion may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Company. The Audit Committee also considered whether the independent auditors' provision of certain other, non-audit related services to the Company was compatible with maintaining such auditors' independence. Based on its discussions with management and the independent auditors, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2001.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Canterbury's Executive Officers, Directors, and affiliates file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of Canterbury's common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These Executive Officers, Directors, and affiliates are required to furnish Canterbury with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on Canterbury's review of Securities and Exchange Commission Forms 3, 4, and 5 submitted to Canterbury, and written representations from these Officers, Directors, and affiliates that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all required forms were filed on time except for amended Form 4's for Paul Shapiro for the months of April and May 2001. Proposal No. 2 - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Board of Directors has appointed Baratz & Associates, P.A. (Baratz), independent auditors, to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2002. Baratz audited the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 20, 2001. The firm of Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") served as independent auditors for the Company for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2000 and November 30, 1999. The decision to change auditors was based on the fact that the Company experienced significant cost savings by having the audit performed by Baratz & Associates, a New Jersey based regional public accounting firm, since Baratz had already been doing all of the tax compliance and filing work. The consolidation of efforts also contributed to the overall cost effectiveness of their engagement. During the Company's fiscal years ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, as well as the subsequent interim period through August 8, 2001, there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, except for the valuation of an investment for which the auditors believed there was evidence of permanent impairment and therefore required adjustment in the Statement of Operations for the year ended November 30, 2000. The adjustment was subsequently recorded. There were no other "reportable events" described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring within the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through August 8, 2001. The audit reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company's fiscal years ended November 30, 2000 and November 30, 1999, as well as the subsequent interim period through August 8, 2001, the Company did not consult with Baratz & Associates regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304 (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Baratz as the Company's independent auditors for fiscal year 2002. Representatives of Baratz are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to respond to appropriate questions. Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Baratz for the audit of our annual financial statements for the 2001 fiscal year and the reviews of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2001 fiscal year were $73,000. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young for the audit of our annual financial statements for the 2001 fiscal year and the reviews of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2001 fiscal year were $18,449. Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees. Baratz and Ernst & Young did not render any professional services to the Company of the type described in Rule 2-01(C)(4)(ii) of Regulations S-X during the 2001 fiscal year. All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Baratz, other than fees for the services referenced under the captions "Audit Fees" and "Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees" during the 2001 fiscal year were $18,000 for tax compliance services and $49,500 for other non-consulting services. The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Ernst & Young, other than fees for the services referenced under the captions "Audit Fees" and "Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees" during the 2001 fiscal year were $10,301.00, which were non-consulting services. Canterbury understands the need for Baratz to maintain objectivity and independence in its audit of the Company's financial statements. Therefore, Canterbury only uses Baratz for non-audit work when it concludes that Baratz is the most appropriate provider of that service such as tax compliance services. The Audit Committee has begun annually evaluating whether the Company's use of Baratz for non-audit services is compatible with Baratz's independence. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL NO. 2. A majority vote of over 50% will be necessary to carry this proposal.

The Company became a Registrant by filing and registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Form S-18 which became effective on August 20, 1986. The Company is organized into four operating segments and the corporate office. The operating segments are: training and consulting, value added hardware reseller, technical staffing and software development. The Executive Management, Board of Directors and Shareholders voted to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Canterbury Information Technology, Inc. to Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc. which better describes the Company's current and future business activities and allows for a more synergistic approach to marketing all of its subsidiaries under one umbrella. This name change became effective April 30, 2001. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - TRAINING AND CONSULTING - ----------------------------------------------------------- CUSTOMIZED ERP AND CRM LEARNING SOLUTIONS ----------------------------------------- In September, 2001 the Company acquired User Technology Services, Inc. (Usertech), a twenty-two year old technology consulting organization specializing in custom learning solutions for major domestic corporations. The 2 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 business is headquartered in the Northeast, but Usertech has consultants and account managers throughout the United States. Usertech designs, develops and delivers customized employee training programs in support of client systems implementations using a blend of traditional (instructor-led) and electronic (WBT and CBT) delivery modes. The Company's primary expertise is in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application systems. Customized training for PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP and Seibel software installations are the cornerstone of the business. Usertech's consultants are also proficient in various proprietary software applications that their clients deploy. Usertech's alliance relationships are an important component of the company's sales and marketing program. Product and software manufacturers' alliances speed target market penetration, improve competitive position and generate new sales leads. With their significant resources and expertise in e- learning delivery platforms, Canterbury's goal is to increase its distance learning offerings in all of its corporate training business. In 2001, after the acquisition, the Company changed the name of User Technology Services, Inc. to Usertech/Canterbury Corp. to properly reflect its role in the Canterbury family of training and technology businesses. Future Plans ------------ The Company intends to expand this segment of the business in a number of ways. First, additional sales personnel may be deployed in selected key markets throughout the country where there is currently no Usertech/Canterbury representation. Also, as e-learning and blended training solutions continue to grow in popularity, Usertech/Canterbury will work to stay ahead of the curve in its ability to design and deliver such training to its customers. In conjunction with the expansion plans outlined above, the Company will also be cross-marketing Usertech/Canterbury's services with its other operating subsidiaries. COMPUTER SOFTWARE TRAINING/SERVICES ----------------------------------- In June 1994, the Company acquired Computer Applications Learning Center (CALC), a New Jersey based computer software training company. Since 1983, CALC has trained corporate workers and managers at its training centers in New York and New Jersey and on site at Fortune 1000 corporations. During 1995, the Company changed the name of CALC to CALC/Canterbury Corp. to more appropriately reflect Canterbury's role in the corporate training industry. CALC/Canterbury is a Microsoft Certified Technical Education Center, Lotus Authorized Education Center and an authorized center for CISCO certified training as well as CAT and VUE testing. CALC/Canterbury is authorized to provide continuing education units (CEU's) and is an approved sponsor of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) for CPA's in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Through CALC Web University, CALC/Canterbury offers e- commerce enabled, Internet-based training as well as custom designed web delivered courses and instruction. 3 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 Future Plans ------------ Although CALC/Canterbury is currently experiencing the downturn along with other businesses in their industry, Canterbury plans to expand this line of the business by: making specific acquisitions in the information technology market of companies that provide complementary products and services (such as technical services and Web-based training) to its significant customer base established over the past eighteen years of operations; and by entering into strategic business partnerships to allow the existing sales force to offer multiple information technology related services and products. Over time, as the Company's market penetration increases, the services that were subcontracted in the past, will be developed and expanded internally. At the same time, the Company is focused on introducing and promoting all of Canterbury's subsidiaries' products and services to the existing client base of CALC/Canterbury. MANAGEMENT TRAINING - ------------------- In September of 1993, the Company acquired Motivational Systems, Inc., a New Jersey-based management and sales training company. Motivational Systems, since 1970, has trained managers and sales professionals from many Fortune 1000 companies, on a national and international basis. Motivational Systems conducts a wide variety of seminars in management and team development, selling and negotiating, interpersonal communication, executive development, organizational problem solving and project management. During 1995, the Company changed the name of Motivational Systems, Inc. to MSI/Canterbury Corp. to more appropriately reflect Canterbury's presence and role in the corporate training industry. Future Plans ------------ This division's planned expansion is projected to occur by extending its current sales effort into contiguous markets adjacent to its corporate headquarters in Northern New Jersey. MSI/Canterbury also plans to develop, internally, new product offerings, both consultative and on-line, for existing and potential customers, based on their specific needs. With several consultants who are exceptional course developers on staff, this process has already resulted in additional product revenue streams. It is also intended to continue to introduce MSI/Canterbury's services into our operating subsidiaries. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT - -------------------------------------------------------- In May of 1997, the Company acquired ATM Technologies, Inc. ("ATM"), a Texas-based software consulting and development company, serving clients in national and international markets. ATM has been in business since 1984, specializing in PC-based tracking systems. The Company changed the name of ATM Technologies, Inc. to ATM/Canterbury Corp. to more appropriately reflect Canterbury's presence and role in the information technology industry. 4 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 Future Plans ------------ ATM/Canterbury plans to expand by promoting and selling its document imaging and PC-based retrieval program integrated into its MasterTrak(TM) document tracking program using barcoding as well as rolling out Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) software technology. The document imaging product is equipped with a touch screen PC and will allow clients with large file rooms to utilize this hardware/software solution to reduce labor costs and increase efficiencies. RFID is a very advanced automated data capture technology. It speeds the collection of data and eliminates the need to read individual barcodes. With RFID technology, no line of sight or direct contact is required between the reader and the tag. This product has application potential in many industries for a variety of uses. Multiple records, files or products can be traced simultaneously. ATM has established several technology and distribution alliances in order to get more broadband client exposure to this product. The Company is investing in the marketing and sales of ATM's software products both internally and externally. USC/Canterbury, our value added reseller, is actively promoting the ATM products in the Mid-Atlantic region as a vital technological solution to many of their clients record tracking and recording needs. ATM is also working to expand its base of national and international dealers and to facilitate increased awareness of the tracking system's new imaging software developed by the company.

(USC), an Annapolis, Maryland based value added reseller of desktop and server computer systems to state and local governments as well as commercial private sector companies in the mid-Atlantic market. USC provides a broad range of information technology services other than hardware procurement and installation. Other products and services include software, consulting and network design and management. After the acquisition, the Company changed the name of U.S. Communications to USC/Canterbury Corp. The Company predominately resells Hewlett-Packard personal computers and servers as stand alone desktops, workstations and complete networks. Virtually no inventory is maintained on site as most equipment is drop shipped to the customer location. The consulting and network design services are becoming a more important value added product to the customer base, as they look for a complete solution to their information technology needs. Future Plans ------------ This division's expansion forecast includes additional penetration into existing governmental installations as well as pursuing governmental municipalities in other states. USC has also expanded its sales focus to include commercial clients. The Company is also reviewing possible acquisition candidates in this market as well as introducing other subsidiary products and services into their existing client base. 5 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - TECHNICAL STAFFING - ------------------------------------------------------ In August, 2000, the Company acquired DataMosaic International, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based management and systems consulting company, which provides staffing augmentation solutions and consulting services to the information technology industry.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cautionary Statement -------------------- When used in this Report on Form 10-K and in other public statements, both oral and written, by the Company and Company officers, the word "estimates," "project," "intend," "believe," "anticipate," and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding events and financial trends that may affect the Company's future operating results and financial position. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results and financial position to differ materially. Such factors include, among others: (1) the Company's success in attracting new business and success of its mergers and acquisitions program; (2) the competition in the industry in which the Company competes; (3) the sensitivity of the Company's business to general economic conditions; and (4) other economic, competitive, governmental and technological 11 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. The Company undertakes no obligations to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital at November 30, 2001, was $2,442,000. This was an increase of $622,000 over the previous year. Accounts receivable increased by $895,000, due primarily to the addition of receivables from the September, 2001 acquisition of Usertech. Inventory increased by $625,000 in Fiscal 2001 over Fiscal 2000 due to several significant hardware orders that were in transit to customers as of November 30, 2001. The amount of inventory related to these shipments totaled $653,000. In conjunction with these transactions approximately $775,000 in deferred revenue was also recorded. All of these shipments were received by customers in early December, 2001 and were recorded as revenue in that month (Fiscal 2002). The Company's outstanding amount owed under the revolving credit line with Chase Bank was refinanced in May, 2001 by establishing a commercial lending relationship with Commerce Bank, N.A. (the Bank). As of the date of the refinancing, approximately $883,000 was paid to Chase in full satisfaction of the Company's outstanding obligations, out of the proceeds of a $1,500,000 five-year term loan from Commerce. As part of the refinancing, the Company also secured a two-year $2,500,000 working capital line of credit with the Bank collateralized by trade accounts receivable and inventory. $1,500,000 was borrowed from this line in conjunction with the acquisition of User Technology Services, Inc. ("Usertech") on September 28, 2001, and through the date of this filing has been repaid in full. Both loans carry an interest rate of the prime rate plus 1%. The Bank's long term debt is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and requires compliance with covenants which include the maintenance of certain financial ratios and amounts. The Company is restricted by its bank from paying cash dividends on its common stock. The Company remains in full compliance with all of the financial covenants of its loan agreement with the Bank. As part of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of Usertech in September, 2001, the Company agreed to pay $1,200,000 to the seller over the next three years at an annual amount of $400,000 plus accrued interest at 7% per annum on the outstanding balance. Also as part of the purchase agreement, the seller agreed to guarantee the collection of the acquired accounts receivable with a 10% risk sharing threshold by Canterbury. The Company has the right in the first year after the acquisition to offset the guaranteed portion of any uncollectible receivable against the first $400,000 payment scheduled to be made during September, 2002. As of February 22, 2002 the Company has notified the seller and "put back" $30,344 against the note payment. The Company has until March 31, 2002 to finalize the total amount of the receivable "put backs". 12 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 Management believes that continued positive cash flow contributions from the Company's operating subsidiaries will be sufficient to cover cash flow requirements for Fiscal 2002. There was no material commitment for capital expenditures as of November 30, 2001. Inflation was not a significant factor in the Company's financial statements. Cash flow from operating activities for the year ended November 30, 2001 was $1,941,000, an increase of $1,066,000 (122%) over Fiscal 2000. The Fiscal 2001 operating cash flow results were the best for the Company since 1996. Strong collections, company-wide cost containment measures and the excellent operating performance of USC/Canterbury all contributed to the solid cash flow results. Fiscal 2001 was the seventh consecutive year of positive cash flow from continuing operations. The Company's November 30, 2001 current ratio improved to 1.43:1.00 in Fiscal 2001 versus 1.34:1.0 at November 30, 2000. As a result of the debt refinancing which was completed during May, 2001, the Company was able to restructure its long term debt, shifting approximately $500,000 from current maturities to long term. As of the date of this report, the Company has $2,500,000 availability on its revolving line of credit, subject to its receivable and inventory levels. With anticipated strong operating cash results, the Company intends to continue to reduce long term bank debt, help fund acquisitions and invest in secure interest bearing investments. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000 Revenues -------- Overall revenues decreased by $691,000 (2%) in Fiscal 2001 over Fiscal 2000. Revenues in the training and consulting segment reflected a net decrease of $492,000 (4%). This decrease however was the result of a significant reduction in revenues from existing subsidiaries of $3,107,000 (27%) (primarily CALC/Canterbury), offset by the addition of revenues from the newly acquired Usertech subsidiary totaling $2,615,000 during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. There were a number of factors which contributed to the revenue reduction from existing subsidiaries (primarily CALC/Canterbury) in this business segment. The events of September 11, 2001 in New York City had a significant effect on total revenues in the fourth quarter of the year. Training in the Metro New York City area came to a virtual standstill while the businesses affected by the tragedy struggled to cope with the devastation. Many classes were cancelled, and there was very little sales activity for the last three months of the year. Several of our largest customers were located at Ground Zero. Consulting assignments were delayed or cancelled due to the chaos in and around New York City. The Company's business interruption insurance policy provided limited relief to the economic impact of the terrorist attacks. Proceeds from the policy netted the Company approximately $85,000, which was received in the first quarter of Fiscal 2002. Even prior to September 11, 2001, the economic downturn in the technology sector had softened demand for certain training and consulting products during 2001. Several large clients had reduced their training budgets in the second 13 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 half of the year in response to their own fiscal situations. New software rollouts were delayed and application and technical training revenues suffered during the year as a result. As the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 progresses, the Company is seeing signs that the level of activity by our customers is beginning to improve. The New York City client base is regrouping and the amount of training and consulting opportunities are increasing. The Company is working to expand its sales presence in this market to capture the apparent pent up demand caused by the soft fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. Also, the acquisition of Usertech provides the Company with even more expertise in distance learning. All of the Company's training subsidiaries are beginning to work together to blend existing course content with e-learning delivery capabilities. For clients in and around New York City, as well as the rest of the world, the Company will have the capacity to provide a distance learning solution to those who may choose not to attend classroom training in the future. Revenues in the value added hardware reseller segment decreased by $704,000 (4%) in Fiscal 2001 versus 2000. Again much of this shortfall occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year as overall technology spending slowed. The reduction in sales volume was more than offset by a significant increase in gross profit from these sales. Margins increased to 20% in Fiscal 2001 from 13% in 2000, as the sales staff was more selective in making proposals coupled with very strong manufacturer rebate program participation. Revenues in the technical staffing segment increased by $523,000 (55%) in Fiscal 2001 due to the fact that the acquisition of DMI/Canterbury occurred part way through Fiscal 2000, and did not contribute for a full year. Costs and Expenses ------------------ Total costs and expenses decreased by $1,277,000 (6%) in Fiscal 2001 versus 2000. Gross profit on service revenue declined from 43% in Fiscal 2000 to 39% in 2001 due to the effects of the revenue decline from training and consulting coupled with a fairly high fixed cost delivery component. Product margins, which include hardware and software sales of the Company increased to 21% in 2001 from a level of 15% in Fiscal 2000. Consolidated gross margins for the Company increased to 29% in 2001 versus 27% in Fiscal 2000. Selling expense increased by $563,000 (24%) in Fiscal 2001 over 2000. $270,000 of the increase was due to selling expense incurred by Usertech after the September, 2001 acquisition. The balance of the difference can be attributed to the fact that DMI, which was acquired in August, 2000, had a full year of operations in Fiscal 2001 versus only four months in 2001. General and administrative expense increased by $1,750,000 (39%). Again a portion of the increase can be accounted for by the 2001 addition of Usertech ($649,000) and the incremental cost associated with a full year of operations for DMI ($155,000). Other components of the increase include increased provision for bad debt of $315,000; increased salaries of $397,000 and other miscellaneous non-cash corporate write-offs approximating $175,000 (which were recorded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001). 14 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 Also during Fiscal 2001 the Company recorded $5,958,000 of goodwill impairment charges. $500,000 of this charge was reflected in the second quarter of the year and the balance was recorded in the fourth quarter. Management made the decision to treat the carrying value of goodwill conservatively. DMI/Canterbury goodwill was written down to $0 (total charge of $843,000) due to the uncertainty in the technical staffing marketplace caused by the dot com bust and the softening of spending in this business segment. The net goodwill related to the 1994 acquisition of CALC/Canterbury (Training and Consulting Segment) totaling $4,397,000 was also written off. The lingering current effects of September 11, as well as the uncertainty of future business growth due to the change in business climate surrounding New York City are the major reasons for this impairment charge. Finally, the net goodwill of $718,000 resulting from the 1997 acquisition of ATM/Canterbury (Software Development Segment) was also written off. Recent operating results may be indicative that the book value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. Management believes that these impairment charges reflect the net carrying value of goodwill on the November 30, 2001 Balance Sheet under a conservative valuation approach due to the current operating losses and uncertain business environment of CALC/Canterbury, DMI/Canterbury and ATM/Canterbury. All goodwill impairment expense is reflected under Corporate in the segment reporting footnote. Interest expense was reduced by $160,000 (46%) in Fiscal 2001 as compared to Fiscal 2000. Strong operating cash flow allowed for reductions in borrowings related to the Usertech acquisition and lower floating interest rates provided expense relief during the year. Other expense of $2,889,000 was comprised of two components. First a charge of $2,562,000 was recorded during the fourth quarter related to the impairment of an investment available for sale. The approximately 1,400,000 shares of the publicly traded company were accepted by the Company from 1999 until early 2001 as payment for services delivered to this start-up organization. Current market value coupled with the organization's poor balance sheet gave rise to the need for this charge in the fourth quarter of 2001. During the first quarter of 2001 the Company also recorded an investment impairment charge of $75,000 for another security held for sale. Also reflected in other expenses for Fiscal 2001 is a loss of $324,000 related to the sale of real estate during the second quarter of the year. Fiscal 2001 results of operations included many non-cash, non-recurring charges to the income statement. The following list will summarize these charges: Goodwill impairment $5,958,000 Investment impairment 2,637,000 Loss on sale of land 326,000 Reserve for uncollectible accounts 533,000 Debt issuance cost write off 71,000 ---------- Total $9,525,000 ========== If these non-cash, non-recurring charges were eliminated from the Fiscal 15 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 2001 Statement of Operation, the Company would have shown a pretax profit of approximately $500,000, before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999 Revenues -------- Revenues increased by $15,525,000 (109%) in Fiscal 2000 over Fiscal 1999. The majority ($15,222,000) of this increase is attributable to the revenues generated for a full fiscal year by USC/Canterbury, which was acquired in October, 1999. The revenues for the other existing subsidiaries remained fairly constant with technical services consulting revenues making up the difference in revenue increase for Fiscal 2000 over the previous year. The Company continues to develop alternative revenue streams such as on-line learning, technical staffing, technical services and web development. It is believed that these additional revenue streams will become more significant in Fiscal 2001 and beyond. Costs and Expenses ------------------ Costs and expenses increased by $13,360,000 (158%) in Fiscal 2000 over the previous year. Again, the most significant portion of this increase ($13,254,000) is attributable to costs associated with USC/Canterbury. While gross profit increased from $5,741,000 in Fiscal 1999 to $7,906,000 (38%), gross profit percentage declined from 40% in Fiscal 1999 to 27% in Fiscal 2000. This was due to the change in product mix from year to year. Product revenue, as a percent of total revenue, increased from 18% in 1999 to 57% in Fiscal 2000. Product revenue had an associated gross profit of 15%, while service revenue gross profit for Fiscal 2000 was 43%. The full year contribution of USC/Canterbury, a value added reseller, again contributed to this shift. Selling expense increased by $569,000 (31%). The increase was a result of the increase in selling expense for a full year of USC/Canterbury activity ($570,000), as compared to only one and a half months in Fiscal 1999. General and administrative expense increased by $841,000 (23%) in Fiscal 2000 over Fiscal 1999. $391,000 of the increase was due to the additional expense of USC/Canterbury for a full year. $155,000 related to the expense for DMI, which was added to the business during the third quarter of Fiscal 2000. Other income for Fiscal 2000 increased by $492,000 over Fiscal 1999. The net increase was primarily due to recognized other income of $461,000 related to the receipt of stock for assisting in raising capital for a related party. ITEM 8.

Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business ----------------------- Canterbury Consulting Group, Inc., formerly Canterbury Information Technology, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as "the Registrant" or "the Company") is engaged in the business of providing information technology products and services to both commercial and government clients. Canterbury is comprised of six operating subsidiaries with offices located in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Ohio, Minnesota, Georgia and Texas. The focus of the Canterbury companies is to become an integral part of our clients IT solution, designing and applying the best products and services to help them achieve a competitive advantage and helping their employees to succeed. Our subsidiaries offer the following technology solutions: * distance learning solutions * hardware sales and support * customized learning solutions * software development for ERP and CRM * web development * systems engineering and * technical and desktop applications consulting training * IT contractors and permanent * records and asset management systems staffing * industry specific portals * management training programs * help desk and service center support Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Stock Based Compensation ------------------------ The Company accounts for stock options under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25- Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company discloses the pro forma net income and earnings per share effect as if the Company had used the fair value method prescribed under SFAS No.123-Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (see Note 12). 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. Revenue Recognition ------------------- Product Revenue Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the product has been delivered, the sales price is fixed or F-9 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped, and title and risk of loss have transferred. The Company defers revenue if there is uncertainty about customer acceptance. Product revenue represents sales of computer hardware and software. Generally, the Company is involved in determining the nature, type, and specifications of the products ordered by the customer. Service Revenue Service revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenues represent training, consulting and technical staffing services provided to customers under separate consulting and service contracts. Revenues from these contracts are recognized as services are rendered. Change in Accounting -------------------- The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which provides additional guidance in applying generally accepted accounting principles for revenue recognition. The Company implemented the provisions of SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, retroactive to December 1, 2000. The implementation of SAB 101 resulted in a change in accounting for certain product shipments where title did not transfer to the customer until delivery occurred. The cumulative effect of the change for implementation of SAB 101 resulted in a charge to fiscal 2001 income of $213,088 (net of income taxes of $109,773). For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2001, the Company recognized $1,560,000 of revenue which was included in the cumulative effect adjustment. The effect of that revenue on fiscal 2001 was to increase income by $213,088 (net of income taxes of $109,773) during that period. Had SAB 101 been effective for all prior fiscal years presented and the first three quarters of fiscal 2001, the pro forma results and earnings per share would not have been materially different from the previously reported results. Statement of Cash Flows ----------------------- For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash refers solely to demand deposits with banks and cash on hand. Depreciation and Amortization ----------------------------- The Company depreciates and amortizes its property and equipment for financial statement purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment (useful lives of leases or lives of leasehold improvements and leased property under capital leases, whichever is shorter). For income tax purposes, the Company uses accelerated methods of depreciation. The following estimated useful lives are used: F-10 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 Building and improvements 7 years Equipment 5 years Furniture and fixture 5 to 7 years Intangible Assets ----------------- Goodwill is being amortized over periods ranging from twenty to twenty- five years using the straight-line method. The Company periodically evaluates whether the remaining estimated useful life of intangibles may warrant revision or the remaining balance of intangibles may require adjustment generally based upon expectations of nondiscounted cash flows and operating income. During Fiscal 2001 the Company recorded $5,958,000 of goodwill impairment charges. $500,000 of this charge was reflected in the second quarter of the year and the balance was recorded in the fourth quarter. Management made the decision to treat the carrying value of goodwill conservatively. DMI/Canterbury goodwill was written down to $0 (total charge of $843,000) due to the uncertainty in the technical staffing marketplace caused by the dot com bust and the softening of spending in this business segment. The net goodwill related to the 1994 acquisition of CALC/Canterbury (Training and Consulting Segment) totaling $4,397,000 was also written off. The lingering current effects of September 11, as well as the uncertainty of future business growth due to the change in business climate surrounding New York City are the major reasons for this impairment charge. Finally the net goodwill of $718,000 resulting from the 1997 acquisition of ATM/Canterbury (Software Development Segment) was also written off. Recent operating results may be indicative that the book value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. Management believes that these impairment charges reflect the net carrying value of goodwill on the November 30, 2001 Balance Sheet under a conservative valuation approach due to the current operating losses and uncertain business environment of CALC/Canterbury, DMI/Canterbury and ATM/Canterbury. All goodwill impairment expense is reflected under Corporate in the segment reporting footnote. Inventories ----------- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing a first- in, first-out method of determining cost. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents (options). Concentration of Risk --------------------- As previously discussed, the Company is in the business of providing information technology services. These services are provided to a large number of customers in various industries in the United States. The Company's trade accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk, but the risk is limited due to F-11 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 the diversity of the customer base and the customers wide geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debt losses and such bad debt losses have been within the Company's expectations. During Fiscal 2001, the Company had one customer who accounted for 32% of the revenue in the Value Added Hardware Reseller segment, and 18% of consolidated revenues for the year. Also during 2001, the Company had one vendor who accounted for approximately 64% of product purchases in the Value Added Hardware Reseller segment. The Company maintains cash balances at a creditworthy bank located in the United States. Accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company does not believe that it has significant credit risk related to its cash balance. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years balances in order to conform to current presentations. Comprehensive Income (Loss) --------------------------- For the twelve months ended November 30, 2001 and November 30, 2000, net comprehensive income/(loss) amounted to ($7,939,099) and $2,309,675, respectively. Comprehensive income consists of net income/(loss) and net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, and is adjusted quarterly to reflect current market value of these securities. Recent Accounting Pronouncement ------------------------------- The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations", and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 ("SFAS No. 142"), "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. However, certain provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements are as follows: 1) All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001. 2) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset, or liability. F-12 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 3) Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective with the adoption of SFAS 142, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization. 4) Effective with the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. 5) All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting. The Company has adopted SFAS 142 effective at December 1, 2001. Goodwill has been amortized at approximately $480,000 annually. 2. Acquisitions ------------ In September 28, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of User Technology Services, Inc. ("Usertech") with an effective date of September 1, 2001. The purchase of 100% of the outstanding shares of Usertech common stock was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company paid $2,350,000 in cash; $1,200,000 in notes payable over three years, plus the assumption of $851,000 in liabilities. Usertech provides e-learning support, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) planning, implementation and training, as well as post implementation support, for clients who have installed Peoplesoft, SAP and Oracle software. Proprietary software packages are also supported through a national network of skilled consultants. 3. Segment Reporting ----------------- The Company is organized into four operating segments and the corporate office.

(the Bank). As of the date of the refinancing, approximately $883,000 was paid to Chase in full satisfaction of the Company's outstanding obligations, out of the proceeds of a $1,500,000 five-year term loan from Commerce. As part of the refinancing, the Company also secured a two-year $2,500,000 working capital line of credit with the Bank collateralized by trade accounts receivable and inventory. $1,500,000 was borrowed in conjunction with the acquisition of User Technology Services, Inc.

A summary of Canterbury's stock option activity and related information for the years ended November 30 is as follows: 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Number of shares under stock options: Outstanding at beginning of year 2,178,853 1,488,721 710,866 Granted 607,500 748,250 927,650 Exercised - - - Canceled (638,526) (58,118) (149,795) Outstanding and exercisable at end of year 2,147,827 2,178,853 1,488,721 F-19 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 Weighted average exercise price: Granted $1.11 $3.20 $1.50 Exercised $ - $ - $ - Canceled $3.58 $8.87 $9.13 Outstanding and exercisable at end of year $1.96 $2.27 $2.04 Information with respect to stock options outstanding and exercisable at November 30, 2001, is as follows: Options Outstanding and Exercisable Range of Number Outstanding Weighted Average Weighted Average Exercise Price at 11/30/01 Remaining Life in Years Exercise Price - -------------- ----------- ----------------------- -------------- $0.53 - $1.56 1,302,000 3.10 $1.07 $2.25 - $3.99 845,827 2.19 $2.76 FASB Statement No. 123 requires pro forma disclosure under the fair value method of net income and income per share. The fair value for options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because Canterbury's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. The fair weighted average value of options granted in each year and assumptions used in estimating fair value under the Black-Scholes model are as follows: 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Estimated fair value of options granted $372,590 $1,094,385 $359,644 ======= ========= ======= Principal assumptions in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model: Expected life, in years 2.50 2.50 2.50 Risk-free interest rate 3.55% 5.80% 6.50% Expected volatility 1.19 .693 .647 Expected dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value of stock options at grant date consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, Canterbury's net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: F-20 CANTERBURY CONSULTING GROUP, INC.-FORM 10-K 2001 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Pro forma net income (loss) from continuing operations $(7,383,409) $401,584 $261,124 Pro forma income (loss) per share from continuing operations basic and diluted $(.63) $.04 $.03 13.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,562,000 related to the carrying value of the shares previously received from the public company.
