Kelowna, BC -- Bridges.com Inc. (TSE:BIT) -- North America's leading provider of career and educational planning solutions, released elements of its 2002 business plan Tuesday, tracking progress towards key business targets announced earlier this year. At its 2000 Annual General Meeting, Bridges identified several ‘key metrics' for its new three year plan, ending in November of 2003. Today, with the release of the 2002 Business Plan Metrics, Bridges' Chief Executive Officer and President Doug Manning reconfirmed commitment to these metrics.

"These are exciting plans for our company's future growth and we are confident that they are attainable. They are the planning targets we will be striving for through the next two years," said Manning.

The key targets for November of 2002 and 2003, and the present position in Q3 2001, are:

*Note: 'Present position' metrics are approximations for the trailing 12-month position. Bridges believes this 'Moving Annual Total' (MAT) measure is the best way to assess quarter-over-quarter growth.

"In the past five years, Bridges has been primarily focused on increasing its number of subscribing sites while operating without debt," said Mr. Manning. "In the future, we will maintain steady growth in market while turning our attention to increasing average revenue per site and corporate productivity. Our mission is to deliver useful products to counsellors and students, and our increased revenue per school reflects design and delivery of ever more functional, modern, and useful career planning and counsellor tools that are increasingly web delivered and current. And to top it all off, we have a superb customer support service that is second to none. In the future, we also will seek to diversify our business, generating growth from new venture revenue streams."

The 2002 plan includes the following:

• Subscribing Sites -- Bridges has been successful at securing subscription revenue from over 15,000 sites across North America. This includes 40 per cent of U.S. and Canadian secondary schools. Bridges projects steady growth in the number of sites, with its primary focus in 2002 on continued growth in the secondary school market.
• Revenue/Site -- Bridges' primary strategy for increasing revenue per site is to provide new career and educational planning resources to schools. The primary focus for revenue/site increases in 2002 will be the distribution of the eGuidance Center resource, co-developed with Peterson's, to existing secondary school customers.
• New Venture Business -- The diversification of Bridges' business will continue, as Bridges targets high-growth opportunities in career and educational planning. In 2002, the primary focus for diversification will be on e-applications, training, the adult and corporate market, and product distribution through best-of-breed partners.
• Productivity -- Bridges defines 'productivity' as EBITDA divided by total revenue. Its objective is to continuously improve corporate efficiencies. Bridges plans for strong growth in productivity, with EBITDA/revenue exceeding 25 per cent by the end of fiscal 2002.
