NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
- -------------------------------------------
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's stockholders'
deficit increased from $(480,959) on December 31, 1999 to $(3,895,350) on
September 30, 2000. The Company issued common stock for services rendered and
sold common stock. The issuance of common stock for services and cash payment
of $1.25 per share increased common stock and additional paid-in capital by
$120 and $419,880, respectively. The Company sold the discounted common stock
for professional services performed in the year ended December 31, 2000. The
excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the cash payment of
$1.25 per share resulted in the recording of $270,000 in compensation expense.
The Company sold 28,000 shares of common stock at fair market value of $1.50
per share. This increased common stock by $28 and additional paid-in capital by
$41,972. The Company also entered into promissory notes with beneficial
conversion features. These transactions increased additional paid-in capital by
$1,407,714.

Deferred Compensation
- ---------------------
On December 15, 1998, 970,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price
of $1.00 and the fair value was determined to be $4.00. The total potential
compensation expense that may be recognized in the Company's financial
statements is $2,910,000. The stock options vest over a five-year period.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, compensation
expense of $330,000 and $382,500, respectively, along with a corresponding
reduction of additional paid-in capital were recognized. This resulted from the
ratable recognition of compensatory stock options expense. The Company removed
$192,000 of forfeited deferred compensation and additional paid-in capital
during the period ended September 30, 2000.
NOTE 7 - IMPAIRMENT LOSS
On August 14, 1998 the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Life
Style Media Corporation ("LMC"), a magazine publishing business, and the
trademarks "Millionaire" and "Billionaire" (the "Trademarks"). In
consideration for the purchase of LMC and the Trademarks, the Company issued a
note payable in the amount of $1,674,595 to the sellers. As part of the
transaction, the Company formed Life Style Media Properties ("LMPI") to hold
the Trademarks. The sellers of LMC and the Trademarks (the "Lamberts") were
granted a security interest in the Trademarks and the stock of LMPI to secure
the performance of the note payable. As of June 30, 2000, all payments due
under the note were current.
On June 30, 2000, the Company was notified that the Lamberts had seized the
stock of LMPI and cancelled all agreements that provided the Company with the
rights to use the Trademarks based on the Lamberts' claim that the Company was
not adequately protecting the "Millionaire" trademark. The Company maintains
that the only basis for the Lamberts to enforce their security interest was
failure to make scheduled payments on the note. The Company's management and
legal counsel believe that the actions of the Lamberts were illegal and
occurred without regard to the binding agreements between the Company and the
Lamberts that detailed the ownership and usage of the trademarks. The Company
initiated legal action against the Lamberts on August 31, 2000, intended to
affirm the Company's ownership of the Trademarks and to recover damages caused
as a result of the Lamberts' actions. The litigation is in the preliminary
stages, as such, no counterclaims have been filed by the Lamberts, no discovery
has commenced and no court hearings or proceedings have been scheduled.

NOTE 7 - IMPAIRMENT LOSS - Continued
Management believes that it has continued ownership and rights to the
Trademarks. In order to insure that publication of the Company's magazine was
not interrupted and to protect vendors and advertisers from claims of trademark
infringement, the Company decided to change the name of its magazine from
Millionaire to Opulence. As a result of the decision to change the name of the
magazine, the Trademarks and related goodwill were deemed to be impaired assets
and the carrying value of $1,089,553 was written off as of June 30, 2000.
As a result of the Lamberts' actions, the note payment due to the Lamberts on
August 14, 2000, was not made, causing the note to be in default at that time.
The Lamberts' potential course of action, in addition to seizing the stock of
LMPI and voting those shares to cancel the agreement with the Company, is to
seek to recover the balance of the promissory note through litigation. The
Lamberts have made no demands for payment, but have not stated that they
consider the Company released from the debt. Management believes that the
damages incurred by the Company for the wrongful seizure of the trademarks far
exceed its obligations under the note. The Company intends to offset its
damages from the Lamberts' actions against future note payments. In view of the
default status of the note and the ongoing litigation regarding ownership of
the Trademarks, the Company continues to reflect the balance of the purchase
debt obligation and it has been classified as currently payable as of September
30, 2000.
As a result of the actions taken in response to the circumstances described
above, management believes that the Company will overcome the effects of the
impaired trademark and the name change for the magazine. Management is unable
to predict at this time the final outcome of the action against the Lamberts or
whether the resolution of this matter could result in a loss contingency that
may materially affect the Company's results of operations, cash flows or
financial position. However, management believes that subscription and
advertising revenues may be adversely impacted in the short term and that the
Company will incur costs of approximately $425,000 related to changing the name
of the magazine, acquiring a new trademark and publicizing the new name. These
costs will be recognized when incurred.

The Company has sustained net losses of $5,614,105 and $3,930,123 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company has used,
rather than provided, cash in its operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. In addition, the Company is currently involved in

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - Continued
Realization of Assets - Continued
---------------------------------
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance
sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is
dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its operating cash requirements
and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
In response to the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, management is
pursuing additional equity financing. Management believes that this additional
financing will allow the Company to vigorously pursue its expansion efforts in
the upcoming year and that this expansion will strengthen the Company's cash
flow position to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.
Litigation
----------
In addition to the litigation described in Note 7, the Company is engaged in
various pending or threatened lawsuits, either as plaintiff or defendant,
involving alleged violations of non-compete covenants, disagreements with its
former employees, breach of contract and nonpayment for legal services.
Management does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material impact on
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Other Legal Matters
-------------------
In March 1999, the Company received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with an investigation the SEC has begun into
Millionaire.com. The Company has provided the SEC documents in response to the
subpoena and some employees have provided testimony. Management intends to
cooperate fully with the SEC in this matter. The probability and amount of any
additional cost associated with this investigation cannot be reasonably
determined given the current circumstances of the matter. Accordingly, no
accrual has been made.
Leases
------
The Company is obligated under terms of various lease arrangements for its
operating facility and various equipment.

Proposed Public Offering
------------------------
In 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a future public offering of
$12 - $15 million of the Company's common stock. The Company intends to use
approximately $2 million of the proceeds to acquire an auction gallery and the
remainder for general corporate purposes.
NOTE 9 - GAIN ON SETTLEMENT
During 2000, the Company had a dispute with a printer concerning approximately
$600,000 in costs for the printing of the Millionaire magazine. This account
payable was recorded on the records of the Company during 1999. The Company's
management contended that the printing was of poor quality. The printer and
the Company settled the dispute. The settlement agreement called for the
Company to make payments totaling $375,000. Upon payment of the agreed-upon
settlement, $375,000, the Company recorded $225,000 of gain on settlement of
the dispute.

Revenue
- -------
Magazine revenues are generated from the sale of advertising space,
subscriptions, single copy sales and the sale of Company owned products within
the magazine.
Other revenues are generated by selling Company owned art, antiques and
collectibles through existing auction houses throughout the United States, our
own auction gallery, over the Internet at www.millionaire.com, and by joint
-------------------
venturing the sale of items with other major Internet companies including Lycos
and Ebay. Management believes that the transition from the name Millionaire to
Opulence may adversely impact, in the short term, subscription and advertising
revenues.
Our Internet site is now leasing space within our Opulence "Mega Mall" where
1700 department stores (links) are available to potential on line retailers.
Space leases for $3,600 annually per store.
The average page rate in Opulence has increased substantially as has the
relationship between advertising pages to editorial. The Company has launched a
major national television campaign offering subscriptions to Opulence, a
television campaign that expects to reach 60 million T. V. households by the end
of 2001.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net sales increased 51.2% to $3,682,333 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to $2,436,047 for the comparable period in 1999.
Net sales increased 42.3% to $1,335,787 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to $939,017 for the comparable period in 1999.
Magazine sales increased by 69.1% to $320,964 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $189,757 for the same period in 1999.
Magazine sales increased by 203.2% to $132,545 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $43,719 for the same period in 1999. The
principal reason for the increase in magazine sales was primarily due to the
Company's launch of a national subscription solicitation campaign and the
excellent distribution of the publication through Cable News.
Advertising revenues increased by 57.3% to $2,846,560 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1,809,477 for the comparable period in
1999. Advertising revenues increased by 63.2% to $1,113,866 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $682,692 for the comparable
period in 1999. The principal reason for the increase in advertising was
increasing the number of professional sales representatives, an increase in the
price of advertising spaces and repeat, as well as new, advertising sales.

Inventory sales and revenues increased by 17.9% to $514,809 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $436,813 for the comparable
period in 1999. Inventory sales and revenues decreased by 60.0% to $89,376 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $212,606 for the
comparable period in 1999. The principal reason for the increase in product
sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was offering items through
non Company owned auction houses on a consignment basis. During the three months
ended September 30, 2000, inventory sales declined primarily due to the Company
not holding any auctions during the period to sell company owned inventory.
Publishing costs (exclusive of items shown separately) as a percentage of
magazine and advertising sales decreased from 70.0% to 35.3% when comparing the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000, respectively.
Publishing costs (exclusive of items shown separately) as a percentage of
magazine and advertising sales decreased from 94.0% to 43.4% when comparing the
three months ended September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000, respectively. Cost
of goods sold (exclusive of items shown in operating expenses) decreased by
22.2% to $1,497,467 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to $1,923,724 for the comparable period in 1999. Cost of goods sold
(exclusive of items shown in operating expenses) decreased by 43.9% to $591,739
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1,053,893
for the comparable period in 1999. During the nine months ended September 30,
2000 the Company increased the advertising content from 60% to 70% of the total
magazine. This resulted in more magazine advertising revenue as compared to
1999. As the Company continues to refine the distribution of the magazine to a
larger number of high net worth readers, advertisers are willing to pay more for
pages. At the same time, our page rates have increased and our production costs
have decreased by replacing expensive outside production houses and one-time set
up costs with our own internal staff of professional designers and computer
technologists.
Selling, general, administrative and other expenses increased by 44.0% to
$6,356,804 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
$4,415,137 for the comparable period in 1999. Selling, general, administrative
and other expenses increased by 62.2% to $1,542,869 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $951,267 for the comparable period in
1999. The principal reason for the increase resulted primarily from
expenditures made to increase sales. The impairment loss on the trademarks and
goodwill increased net loss $1,089,553 during the nine months ended September
30, 2000. See Item 1, Note 7.
Interest and other expenses increased by 5,180.9% to $1,442,167 for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $27,309 for the comparable
period in 1999. Interest and other income increased by 274.4% to $110,053 of
income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
$29,391 of income for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was primarily related to
the $1,407,714 of interest expense related to the beneficial conversion features
of convertible notes payable issued during 2000.

PART I-ITEM 2
MILLIONAIRE.COM AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OR OPERATION.
The increase in the other income during the quarter ended September 30, 2000
when compared to 1999, resulted from the Company settling a disputed accounts
payable with a vendor. The Company previously recorded approximately $600,000
in accounts payable during 1999. The Company completed agreed-upon payments of
$375,000 to the vendor during the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The
remainder of the accounts payable $225,000, is considered by the Company's
management to be a gain on settlement.
The Company, due to the loss position from operations, did not record a tax
provision for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 nor did it in the
same period of 1999.
The Company's net loss of $5,614,105 for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2000 increased $1,683,982 or 42.8% when compared to a net loss of $3,930,123
for the comparable period in 1999. The Company's net loss of $598,768 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 decreased $437,984 or 42.2% when
compared to a net loss of $1,036,752 for the comparable period in 1999. The
increase was partly due to the $1,407,714 interest charge related to the
beneficial conversion feature of notes payable for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $0 interest expense for similar notes during
the comparable period in 1999.
The weighted average and diluted shares outstanding increased to 8,754,734 for
the period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to weighted average and diluted
shares outstanding of 8,532,165 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase
was due to the sale and issuance of approximately 148,000 shares of common
stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company
- ----------------------------------------------
The Company has been able to fund its operations and working capital
requirements from cash flow generated by the sale of common stock and the
proceeds from loans, convertible to stock.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by 20.8% to $2,413,126 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $3,045,978 for the
comparable period in 1999. The decrease in cash use was primarily the result of
a decrease in the purchasing of inventory and an increased accounts receivable
collection efforts.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $2,354,253 for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net cash provided by
financing activities of $1,210,011 for the comparable period in 1999. In 2000,
the Company received $2,200,000 of convertible debt compared to $0 in 1999. In
contrast, during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company received
$1,500,000 in proceeds from common stock offerings. The Company received
$192,000 in common stock offerings for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OR OPERATION.
The note payment due to the sellers of the Trademarks (the "Lamberts") in the
amount of $170,000 on August 14, 2000, was not made, causing the note to be in
default at that time. The Lamberts have made no demands for payment, but have
not stated that they consider the Company released from the debt. The Company
believes that the damages incurred by the Company for the wrongful seizure of
the trademarks far exceed its obligations under the Note. The Company intends to
offset its damages from the Lamberts' actions against future note payments.
In view of the default status of the note and uncertainty surrounding the
ongoing litigation regarding ownership of the Trademarks, the Company continues
to reflect the purchase debt obligation, $1,287,071 at September 30, 2000, and
it has been classified as currently payable as of September 30, 2000. The
Company is pursuing legal action intended to affirm the Company's ownership of
the Trademarks and to recover damages caused as a result of the Lamberts'
actions. The Company has commenced litigation seeking $6.7 million in actual
damages.
As a result of the actions taken in response to the circumstances described
above, management believes that the Company will overcome the effects of the
impaired trademark and the name change for the magazine. Management is unable to
predict at this time the final outcome of the action against the Lamberts or
whether the resolution of this matter could result in a loss contingency that
may materially affect the Company's results of operations, cash flows or
financial position. However, management believes that subscription and
advertising revenues may be adversely impacted in the short term and that the
Company will incur costs of approximately $425,000 related to changing the name
of the magazine, acquiring a new trademark and publicizing the new name. These
costs will be recognized when incurred.
The Company intends to meet its existing financial obligations by continuing to
decrease our overhead as we increase profit margins. By doing so we will become
self-supportive. Additionally, we have added several new income streams. Our
Internet site now includes a Mall where space (links to other sites) is being
rented. Our site also includes a new Catalog where advertising space is being
sold. Both the Mall and the Catalog are now generating income. If the Company
has the need for additional capital for operations, as it will have the need in
order to acquire profitable existing auction houses, we intend to raise that
capital from investors and/or financial institutions.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $113,970 and $109,869 respectively,
as of September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999.
The Company's business has not been capital intensive and, accordingly, capital
expenditures have not been material. To date, the Company has funded all
capital expenditures from working capital, proceeds from the public offering and
loans.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OR OPERATION.
The Company believes that its cash resources will not be sufficient to finance
its operating and capital requirements in fiscal 2000, therefore the Company
intends to raise capital by selling Rule 144 stock and financing receivables.
Cash requirements for future expansion of the Company's operations will be
evaluated on an as-needed basis and may involve external financing. The Company
does not expect that such expansion, should it occur, will have a materially
negative impact on the Company's ability to fund its existing operations.

Millionaire.com and Lifestyle Media Properties, Inc. v. Douglas Lambert and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jenny Lambert. Plaintiffs brought this action on August 31, 2000 in the
-------------
United States District Court of Nevada alleging breach of contract and
intentional interference with contract in connection with the defendants
transfer to themselves of stock in LifeStyle Media Properties which holds
the trademarks, Millionaire and Billionaire, in violation of pledge and
security agreements among the parties. Plaintiffs are seeking $6,695,000
in actual damages as well as punitive relief.
Millionaire.com and Lifestyle Media Properties, Inc. v. Douglass and Jenny
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lambert. Plaintiffs brought this action on October 16, 2000 in the
-------
District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The Company has brought this state
court action in anticipation that the federal court action detailed above
will be dismissed in the near future for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. The Company asserts claims for damages and recovery of the
trademarks arising from the same facts detailed above in the federal court
action.
Douglas and Jenny Lambert (the "Lamberts") owned all of the stock of
LifeStyle Media Corporation and individually owned the trademarks
"Millionaire" and "Billionaire" ("the Marks"). LifeStyle Media Corporation
published the Millionaire and Billionaire Magazines. On or about August
14, 1998, a stock purchase agreement was executed (the "Transaction")
between Lifestyle Media Acquisition Corporation ("LMAC"), whereby LMAC
acquired all of the Lambers' stock in and to Lifestyle Media Corporation.
As part of the Transaction, the Lamberts executed an Assignment of
Trademark, assigning to Lifestyle Media Properties, Inc. ("LMPI") all of
the Lamberts' right, title and interest in the Marks.
As part of the Transaction, LMAC executed a promissory note in the
principal sum of $1,674,595.00 payable to the Lamberts ("Note"). LMPI also
executed a Trademark Security Agreement and LMAC executed a Pledge
Agreement as part of the Transaction. The Trademark Security Agreement
grants the Lamberts a security interest in the Trademarks to secure the
performance of certain of LMAC's obligations in the Note and Stock Purchase
Agreement. The Pledge Agreement grants the Lamberts a security interest in
the LMPI stock to also secure payment of the obligations contained in the
Note and Purchase Agreement.
-21-
By letter dated June 30, 2000 MLRE was notified by the Lamberts that the
Lamberts had seized the LMPI stock under the Pledge Agreement and voted
those shares to cancel all agreements between LMPI and MLRE to use the
Marks. The stated reason for the Lamberts' actions were alleged violations
of the agreements by MLRE, including failure to adequately protect the
Marks from infringement. Under the agreements, the Company was required to
protect the Marks from infringement, misappropriation and dilution, but had
no obligation to pursue claims that MLRE believed to be of negligible
economic value. The Company reviewed the Lamberts' contentions in light of
the contractual obligations and found them without merit. In particular,
the Company advised the Lamberts that there had been no monetary default in
the payments under the Note and that MLRE had taken all steps it believed
to be reasonably necessary to protect the Lamberts' collateral (the Marks).
The Company views the actions taken by the Lamberts as wrongful and in
violation of the contractual agreements between the Company and the
Lamberts. Claiming damages for the wrongful seizure of the Pledged Stock
of LMPI, the Company did not make the August 14, 2000 Note payment to the
Lamberts. It is the Company's position that the damages incurred by the
Company for the wrongful seizure of the stock far exceed its obligations
under the Note.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
As part of the transaction whereby the Company (through its subsidiary
LMAC) acquired the Trademarks "Millionaire" and "Billionaire", the Company
(LMAC) executed a promissory note in the principal sum of $1,674,595.00 payable
to Doug and Jenny Lamberts ("Note"). As of June 30, 2000, the principal balance
of the Note was $1,287,071 and the Company was not in default. Due to the
actions taken by the Lamberts described in the section entitled "Legal
Proceeding," the Company did not make the schedule principal and interest
payment of $170,000 due on August 14, 2000. The Company does not intend to cure
this arrearage or make further payments on the Note due to pending outcome of
the litigation with the Lamberts.
