INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT
To the Stockholders of
Consumer Direct of America
Henderson, Nevada
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Consumer Direct of America (an S Corporation), as of September 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months then ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All of the information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Consumer Direct of America.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
Description of business
Consumer Direct of America (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 16, 2001 to operate a series of national marketing centers. The marketing centers utilize state-of-the-art phone and computer systems to provide the Company with the ability to operate numerous marketing campaigns for their customers. Additionally, the Company captures and tracks customer data, producing real-time reports for effective analysis, modifications and redirecting towards other products and services in which their clients may be interested. Currently, the Company maintains call centers in two different locations: Las Vegas, Nevada, and Denver, Colorado. The Company’s corporate headquarters are in Irvine, California. The Company recently acquired mortgage brokerage and real estate services enterprises located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Consumer Direct of America have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included
Operating results for the periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 8-K/A dated May 14, 2002 for the period ended December 31, 2001.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
11
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due under licensing agreements and accounts payable, are carried at cost which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The notes payable are carried at discounted values, which approximate fair value based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of three (3) months or less when purchased.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures that materially increase the life of the assets are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance to property and equipment are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss on such disposition is reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, when applicable, the life of the lease, which ranges from three to seven years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition exceeds its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value
Goodwill
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 which addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under the provisions of SFAS 142 goodwill is no longer required to be amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FAS”) No. 121,“Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when management’s estimates of discounted future operating cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount.
The evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill is significantly affected by management’s estimates of future operating cash flows from each of the Company’s acquired businesses to which the goodwill relates. If, in future periods, estimates of the present value of future operating cash flows decrease, the Company would be required to
12
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
further write-down its goodwill and other long-lived assets. Any such write-down could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company will continue to closely monitor its remaining goodwill and other long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition
Marketing and commission revenues primarily represent revenues derived from the Company’s call centers operations. The Company receives either a percentage of the transactions or a fixed fee. Revenues are recorded net. Licensing revenues are recognized over the life of the license agreement.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to report both basic loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Since the Company incurred a loss for the period presented, the inclusion of common stock equivalents in the calculation of weighted average common shares is anti-dilutive, and therefore there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share.
Equity Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under APB Opinion No. 2, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the option.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction With Selling, Goods or Services”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is
13
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
the earlier of the date on which the counter party’s performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated with an emerging business including the potential risk of business failure.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (“SFAS 145”),Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.The Statement updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. Any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria inAccounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30for classification as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified. The provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 with early adoption encouraged. The Company does not expect SFAS 145 to have material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Effective February 20, 2001, in connection with a stock purchase agreement, Blue Star Coffee, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“BSCF”) issued an aggregate of 17,593,863 newly issued and 3,364,122 previously issued and outstanding shares of its common stock at $.001 par value per share in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of the Company, in which the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSCF based on a conversion ratio of approximately 1.61 shares of BSCF’s common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock. This reverse merger qualified for a tax-free reorganization and has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company and the acquisition of BSCF and its book value.
Effective June 6, 2002, the Company acquired Lending Services Corporation (“Lending Services”) and Las Vegas Realty (“LV Realty”), in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. Lending Services is a mortgage company that originates loans primarily in Las Vegas, Nevada. LV Realty is a realty service company that primarily operates in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company issued 2,650,000 shares of common stock, made a cash payment of $100,000 in consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Lending Services and LV Realty. The fair market value of the 2,650,000 shares of common stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition was $1,087,143 (based on the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the three days before and three days after the acquisition date). The total purchase price was $1,482,696.

The loans are being issued to assist the Company with its initial public offering. Company assets are being used as collateral to secure the notes. The note terms call for each $100,000 promissory note to be repaid with $110,000 in cash, and warrants worth $100,000. The number of warrants will be determined by the principal amount of the notes issued divided by the stock price on the first day of trading subsequent to the closing of the public offering. As of September 30, 2002 the Company had $76,172 outstanding in bridge notes.
16
Warrants
Effective September 7, 2002, warrants issued according to the bridge note agreement were converted to $2 per share based on the outstanding principal balance. Upon this conversion, the warrants outstanding at September 30, 2002 were 483,000.
NOTE 7 — CONTINGENCIES
Notes Payable
The Company has approximately $76,000 of Bridge Notes that have subsequently not been paid on their maturity date. Although the note holders have not called the notes the Company is in default on the note agreements. The Company is currently negotiating with the note holders to extend the maturity date six months or convert the note balances into common stock. The Company is also seeking additional financing.
Accrued Payroll Taxes
The Company has recorded an accrual for past due payroll taxes as of September 30, 2002 due to the underpayment of the Company’s payroll tax liability. As a result, the Company has accrued approximately $170,000 including penalties and interest related to payroll taxes under accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2002.
NOTE 8 — GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,306,470 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Although a substantial portion of the Company’s cumulative net loss is attributable to non-cash operating expenses, management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to sustain its operations.
Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt financing to sustain operations until it can market its services, expand its customer base, and achieve profitability. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

General
Consumer Direct of America (CDIT:OTCBB) operates a series of national marketing centers, housing state-of-the-art phone and computer systems, which provide the company with the ability to execute numerous marketing campaigns for customers - - inbound, outbound, and broadcast. Marketing centers are located in our newly expanded Las Vegas, Nevada location (13,000 sq ft — 200 Seats) and Denver, Colorado (3,000 sq ft — 30 seats) with the Company’s headquarters in Irvine, California (3,575 sq ft.). Through our recently acquired wholly owned subsidiary Las Vegas Mortgage, the Company also operates a 7,000 sq. ft. mortgage-processing center in Las Vegas with six branch mortgage locations. As of September 30, 2002, CDIT had 325 employees with specialties in telesales, technology, call center management, mortgage finance, and finance and administration.
The Company utilizes its locations to operate two synergistic and complimentary business units:
Direct Marketing Group —develops and executes business-to-business telesales marketing programs for client products and services including, local and long distance switching, credit card verification, warrantee subscription, insurance sales, mortgage lead generation and customer care.
18
Financial Services Group — Comprised of Lending Services Corp., Consumer Direct Lending, Las Vegas Mortgage and Las Vegas Real Estate Co.employs over 200 residential mortgage professionals with closed loan volume of $246 million in 2001 and over $200 million as of September 30, 2002. This group is already the leading mortgage broker in Nevada with six branch locations and plans to add five new branch offices in Southern Nevada by the end of FY 2002 and expansion into the Western U.S. by next year.
Effective July 6, 2002, in connection with a stock purchase agreement, Consumer Direct of America renegotiated its acquisition of Lending Services Corporation, a Nevada Corporation dba Las Vegas Mortgage for $100,000 in cash and a total aggregate of 2.65 million shares of its common stock. This new agreement eliminated the issuance of over $500,000 of debt over a two year period and reduced the non-cash imputed interest expense associated with the previous structure of the transaction by over $100,000. Following the acquisition, Lending Services Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Consumer Direct of America.
Consumer Direct of America provides direct marketing, home financing and value membership services to consumers via proprietary direct mail/broadcast and outbound call telesales solicitation campaigns. Targeted markets are selected from the nation’s top 50 demographic regions. Customer prospect lists are purchased from specialty providers and are merged together to create a specific solicitation campaign with specific information about the prospect’s financial profile and how we can benefit the customer. Outbound calls are launched and telesales representatives begin to generate “hot leads” which are routed to a telesales loan officer located at the call centers or net branches. Loan applications are taken by the local loan officer and are electronically routed to one of our processing centers. We are an innovator of state of the art technical and financial resources in our mortgage services.
Results of Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
We generated $2.8 million in gross revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from our Direct Marketing and Financial Services Groups including the operations from the mortgage and real estate businesses. The Company posted an operating profit of $8,800 for the current quarter which represents an increase in operating profitability of over $440,000 over the previous quarter. Management expects to maintain operating profitability for the balance of 2002.
The Financial Services Group produced revenue of approximately $2.4 million coming from our mortgage and real estate business. Operating expenses for the group were $2.3 million producing an operating profit for the group of $107,560 for the quarter. This represents a net increase in operating income of $210,939 over the quarter ended June 30,2002. Gross volume of mortgage loans in the active loan pipeline rose to $ 285 million by the end of the quarter, an increase of 30% over the prior quarter and 40% over the same period in 2001. The Company completed the expansion of its Las Vegas mortgage telesales platform and is now operating the facility at approximately 25% capacity. Management intends to aggressively grow this portion of the business in the fourth quarter and into 2003.
19
Approximately $402,456 in revenue was earned in the third quarter by our Direct Marketing Group and expenses and commissions from our Direct Marketing Group were $344,526 producing a gross profit of $55,329 for the period. This is due to the continued growth in our marketing campaigns for Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and a cost reduction and sales incentive program instituted by management. Our management expects to grow this area of its business through the rest of fiscal year 2002.
Liquidity
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2002, we had revenues of $2.8 million and we incurred an operating profit of $8,800. In addition, as of September 30, 2002, we had $444,175 of cash and accounts receivable available. Our management believes that this is only sufficient to meet our needs for the next six months. In order to execute our growth strategy, we need to secure additional debt or equity funding.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2002, we began redeeming $1 million of Bridge Financing Notes into common stock. Our assets are being used as collateral to secure the notes. The note terms call for each $100,000 promissory note to be repaid with $110,000 in cash, and warrants worth $100,000. The number of warrants will be determined by the principal amount of the notes issued divided by the stock price of $2.00 per share as per the Bridge financing Agreement which sets the warrant price on September 6,2002. As of September 30, 2002 we had $76,000 outstanding in bridge notes and had incurred interest charges of $1,800 (related to the notes and the warrants) for the period then ended.
The Company’s balance sheet added an additional $315,000 in paid in capital during the period as a result of the recognition of retirement of bridge debt financing and warrant conversions to common stock.
