BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at August 31, 2000 and results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999.

On consolidation, all material intercompany accounts have been eliminated. Consolidation commenced with the effective dates of acquisition of the operations of the subsidiary companies and these financial statements include the financial results of the subsidiaries for the period ended August 31, 2000 and May 31, 1999. The assets acquired were recorded as trademarks and will be amortized over 10 years on a straight-line basis. On February 27, 1998, the Company acquired all issued shares of Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd., a Canadian real estate broker, for $316,080 in cash and stock. The goodwill will be amortized over 40 years on a straight-line line basis. On September 15, 1998, the Company purchased all the issued shares of an inactive holding company, Aspen Benson and May LLC., for Common stock in the amount of $77,500 to be issued in January 2000. At the time of purchase, Aspen Benson and May LLC. had negligible assets and revenue. On January 20, 1999, Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd. purchased the real estate brokerage business including licensing agreements and trademarks of HomeLife Higher Standards operating in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for $42,061 cash in fourteen monthly installments of $2,714 and a final payment of $4,065. During the period ended May 31, 1998, the company acquired, by cash of $5,000 in total, all issued shares of several newly incorporated companies. These new companies include: MaxAmerica Financial Services, Inc., which will be originating real estate loans; HomeLife California Realty, Inc., which will be a full service real estate operation; HomeLife Properties, Inc., which will be a real estate holding company; Red Carpet Broker Network, Inc., and National Sellers Network, Inc., which will be licensing real estate brokerages. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Principal Activities HomeLife, Inc. together with its subsidiaries is a leading provider of services to the real estate and mortgage loan industries. The Company engages in the following activities: 5 The Company franchises full service real estate brokerage offices and provides operational and administrative services to its franchisees under the names, HomeLife Realty Services, National Real Estate Service, Red Carpet Real Estate Services, Red Carpet Keim, Network Real Estate and International Estates. The Company is a mortgage financing services provider through its subsidiary, MaxAmerica Financial Services, Inc. The Company owns and operates a full service retail real estate brokerage through its subsidiary, Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd. The Company is a provider of home warranty coverage through its subsidiary, MaxAmerica Home Warranty Company. (b) Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company's accounts receivable and notes receivable are primarily from franchisees in the real estate brokerage industry. (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due to banks and any other highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. (d) Marketable Securities Marketable securities represent trading securities which have been reflected at their fair market value at the year-end. (e) Advertising Costs Advertising costs represent prepaid preprinted advertising materials which have been amortized over three years. For the period ended August 31, 2000, there are no unamortized advertising costs. (f) Other Financial Instruments The carrying amount of the Company's other financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments or the current nature of interest rates borne by these instruments. (g) Long-term Financial Instruments The fair value of each of the Company's long-term financial assets and debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using an estimate of what the Company's current borrowing rate for similar instruments of comparable maturity would be. (h) Amortization of Property and Equipment Amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method as follows: Furniture and fixtures 7 years Computer equipment and software 7 years Leasehold improvements 7 years Automobile 4 years (i) Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost over the value of tangible assets acquired. It is amortized on the straight-line basis over 40 years. 6 (j) Amortization of Other Assets Amortization of other assets is on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Trademarks and franchise rights 10 years (k) Impairment The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss against the balance of a long-lived asset in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. This determination is based on an evaluation of such factors as the occurrence of a significant event, a significant change in the environment in which the business assets operate or if the expected future non-discounted cash flows of the business was determined to be less than the carrying value of the assets. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Management also evaluates events and circumstances to determine whether revised estimates of useful lives are warranted. As of August 31, 2000, management expects its long-lived assets to be fully recoverable. (l) Revenue Recognition Income from the sale of franchises is recognized over a 5-year period. Master franchise agreement fees are recognized over 10 years. Royalty income stemming from the gross commissions on the sales of real estate by the franchise offices is recognized at the date of receipt; this is due to the complexity of attempting to forecast the actual closing date of the properties. Warranty income is recognized over the term of the contract which is usually 12 months; anticipated obligations under these warranties have been recorded as reserve for warranty and are based on past experience. Real estate brokerage income is recognized at the close of escrow. Loan fees are recognized as income when the loan is closed and funded at the close of escrow. Revenue received or receivable, from the sale of franchises, master franchises and warranties, which are not recognized as income, are recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. (m) Income taxes The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires 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. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company is required to record all deferred tax assets, including future tax benefits of capital losses carried forward, and to record a "valuation allowance" for any deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. (n) Stock-Based Compensation In December 1995, SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based compensation, was issued. It introduced the use of a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation to employees based on the new fair value accounting rules. Companies that choose not to adopt the new rules will continue to apply the existing accounting rules contained in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. However, SFAS No. 123 requires companies that choose not to adopt the new fair value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share under the new method. SFAS No. 123 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 for both employee stock based compensation. The Company's stock option plan prior to 1997 which vested immediately and therefore there were no expense amounts to be reflected in the current financial statements. The Company has used the fair value approach for stock option plan granted to non-employees according to EITF 96-18. (o) Foreign Currency Translation Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, maintains its books and records in Canadian dollars. Income and expenses are translated at the rate in affect on the transaction dates. Transaction gain and losses are included in the determination of earnings for the year. 7 Balance sheet accounts are translated using closing exchange rates in affect at the balance sheet date and income and expenses accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during each reporting period. No representation is made that the Canadian dollar amounts could have been or could be, converted rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are included in the cumulative translation adjustments section in stockholders' equity. (p) Net Income (Loss) and Fully Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Weighted Average Common Stock Net income (loss) per Common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of Common stock outstanding during the year. Fully diluted net income (loss) per Common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of Common stock outstanding during the year, assuming, except where the result would be anti-dilutive, that all convertible Preferred shares were converted, the contingent Common stock were issued, the warrant was exercised and the stock options granted were exercised. The shares to be issued have not been included in the calculation as the number of shares to be issued is not determinable. (q) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. NOTE 3. CASH HELD IN TRUST AND TRUST LIABILITY Cash held in trust are deposits received in connection with the opening of escrow accounts for the sale of real estate. The deposits are recorded as trust liabilities and are refunded when the real estate is sold or the escrow is closed according to the terms of the escrow agreement. NOTE 4. BANK INDEBTEDNESS For the period ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999, the Company's available line of credit under the bank loan agreement amounted to $33,920 (CDN$50,000). The operating credit facility bears interest at the bank's prime lending rate plus 2% per annum with interest payable monthly. As security, the Company has provided a general assignment of book debts, a general security agreement constituting a first charge over all present and future personal property of the Company, a subordination agreement with respect to amounts owed by the borrower to the shareholders of $33,920 (CDN$50,000), and a guarantee by the major shareholder of the company of $33,920 (CDN$50,000). At August 31, 2000, the Company had an available line of credit under the bank loan agreement amounting to $25,000. The unsecured operating credit facility bears interest at rate of 16% per annum. There were $14,000 in funds borrowed at August 31, 2000. NOTE 5. CAPITAL STOCK (a) Authorized 100,000 Class A Preferred shares of no par value, 6% non cumulative dividend, voting, convertible to Common shares at the option of the shareholder at a price equal to the face value of the Class A shares. Each Class A Preferred share carries 1,000 votes as compared with 1 vote for each Common share 8 2,000 Class AA Preferred shares of $500 par value, 8% cumulative dividend, non-voting, redeemable at face value by the Company. Convertible after 12 months from the date of issuance, at the option of the shareholder, to Common shares at a price equal to 125% of the face value of the Class AA shares as compared with the market price of the Common stock. 20,000,000 Common shares of $0.001 par value (b) Issued 10,000 Class A Preferred shares 78 Class AA Preferred shares (325 - 1999) 5,109,764 Common shares (4,803,932 - 1999) (c) Warrant On January 16, 1997, the Company granted a warrant to S & S Acquisition Corp. as part of the consideration for the acquisition of its assets. The warrant entitles S & S Acquisition Corp. to acquire, from January 31, 1998 to January 31, 2002, up to 200,000 Common shares of the Company at $6 per share. The number of Common shares and the price per share are adjusted proportionately with the increase in the number of Common shares issued by the Company. As the market value of the Common share of the Company was significantly lower than $6 per share, no value was assigned to the warrant. (d) Stock options On September 18, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "plan") for its directors, employees, and consultants. An authorized number of shares of Common stock of the Company, which may be granted under the plan, is one million shares. The terms of the options were to be determined by the president of the company, subject to the approval by the shareholders. (e) Stock option plan For the period ended May 31, 1999 options to various directors of the Company to acquire 140,000 Common stock had been granted under the stock option plan with the following terms: 100,000 Common shares at $3 per share 30,000 Common shares at $5 per share 10,000 Common shares at $1 per share, expiring July 10, 1999. As the exercise prices were higher than the market values on the dates of the grant, no compensation expenses were recorded by the Company. (f) Earnings per share The fully diluted earnings per share does not included the issuance of shares which would be anti-dilutive arising from the following: Conversion of 10,000 Class A Preferred shares to Common shares; conversion of 78 Class AA Preferred shares to Common shares; exercise of a warrant which entitles holder to acquire 200,000 Common shares at $6 per share; exercise of stock options to acquire issuance of 140,000 Common shares. 9 NOTE 6. PROMISSORY NOTE RECEIVABLE On October 8, 1999, the Company signed an agreement with a former director who had a $250,000 promissory note receivable. The agreement allowed the Company to exchange the promissory note for 100,000 shares of Pioneer Growth Corp. ("Pioneer"), a company non-affiliated with the former director. However, the former director could re-acquire the Pioneer shares within one year by paying $250,000 in cash, or returning the 265,000 shares of HomeLife common stock initially acquired. In addition, the former director has guaranteed the value of the Pioneer shares would be atleast $250,000 on October 8, 2000, or he would make up the difference in value in cash or by exercising his option to return HomeLife shares equal to the amount. The Company is in current negotiations with the former director relating to this note and has extended the expiration of the option and right until October 22, 2000. In light of the option provided to the former director to return all of part of the HomeLife shares initially acquired as well as his right to re-acquire the Pioneer shares, the Company will continue to reflect the promissory note receivable until the option and the right expires on October 22, 2000. At that time, the Company will either record the Pioneer shares as an asset at their fair value, or the cash received in place of the Pioneer shares. Any shares of HomeLife common shares received in settlement of the note will be cancelled. In the event that the issuer fails to make up for any diminution in the fair value of the Pioneer shares, the Company will cancel a proportionate number of its common shares previously issued to issuer. If the Company continues to own Pioneer shares subsequent to October 22, 2000, the Company will reflect any changes in fair value through earnings on a quarterly basis. NOTE 7.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview The Company has experienced growth primarily through its acquisitions of and combinations with various other companies. This includes the acquisition in August 1996 of the Keim Group of Companies and MaxAmerica Home Warranty Company (Michigan) adding 60 real estate offices and a home warranty company in Michigan. In 1997, the company purchased certain assets of S & S Acquisition Corp. providing the company with Red Carpet Real Estate Services and National Real Estate Services adding 58 real estate offices. The acquisition of the real estate computer technology of House by Mouse and Virtual Assistant provided the Company with the ability to enhance its Internet communication services to its franchises. In July 1997, the Company acquired the licensing agreements, trademarks and franchise offices of Network Real Estate, Inc. This acquisition provided the Company with an additional 12 offices in Northern California and access to the "high-end" luxury division of "International Estates". In February 1998, the Company acquired Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd. providing access to the Alberta, Canada market in both retail real estate and mortgage loans. On September 15, 1998, the Company purchased the stock of the investment banking firm of Aspen, Benson and May, LLC for Common stock. From time to time, the Company has entered into strategic alliances with various companies in order to explore the cross marketing of their services to customers of the Company or its franchises. To date, these strategic alliances have not included any funding agreements or other liabilities on the part of the Company. Since the end of its last fiscal year, HomeLife has formed strategic alliances with Home Value Check, LLC, and Allstate Funding. Home Value Check provides Internet based appraisals for lenders and consumers of the Company's services. Allstate Funding provides loan processing and underwriting for MaxAmerica, the real estate mortgage brokerage subsidiary of HomeLife. The following is management's discussion and analysis of HomeLife's financial condition and results of operations. Detailed information is contained in the financial statements included with this document. This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. 12 THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED) COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED). REVENUES. The Company generated gross sales of $897,561 for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 compared to gross sales of $988,753 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999. Revenue by business segment is shown below: August 31, 2000 August 31, 1999 Amount % Amount % ------ - ------ - Real estate brokerage 565,457 63 582,638 59 Royalty & franchise fees 168,574 19 211,402 21 Mortgage financing 23,046 3 43,800 4 Home warranty sales 84,372 9 85,124 9 Other 56,056 6 65,789 7 -------- --- -------- --- TOTAL 897,561 100 988,753 100 ======== === ======== === Real estate brokerage commissions decreased from $582,638 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999 to $565,457 for the quarter ended August 31, 2000. As the number of brokers was approximately unchanged, this decrease of $17,181 or 3%, is a result of a decrease in the number of escrows per broker. Royalty fees & franchise fees combined decreased $42,828 from $211,402 for the three months ended August 31, 1999 to $168,574 for the three months ended August 31, 2000. The decrease in revenue relates to lower royalty fees for the period as well as a short term marketing effort to obtain new franchises by discounting the initial franchise fees. Mortgage financing fees were $23,046 for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 compared to $43,800 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is a result of timing the close of loans as well as the strong competition in this area. Home warranty sales were comparable for the two periods at 9% of overall sales. DIRECT COSTS. Direct costs for the current quarter were $597,124 compared to $621,026 for the same prior year quarter. This decrease corresponds to the overall decrease in sales for the two quarters. SALARIES AND FRINGE BENEFITS. Salaries and fringe benefits decreased from $154,278 for the three months ended August 31, 1999 to $141,648 for the three months ended August 31, 2000. This decrease of $12,630 was primarily the result of two employees who left the company and were not replaced during the same quarter. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative costs for the quarter ended August 31, 2000 were $125,112 versus $140,187 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999. This decrease of $15,075 was primarily due to a continued effort to reduce costs which mainly included a decrease in the use of outside consultants OCCUPANCY. There was a slight increase in occupancy costs for the comparable first fiscal quarters which is a result of the escalation clauses in the lease agreements. FINANCIAL. Financial costs were comparable for the two quarters. AMORTIZATION. Amortization of intangibles was $8,643 for the three months ended August 31, 2000 compared to $2,143 for the three months ended August 31, 1999. This increase was primarily a result of some assets the change in the estimate of the useful lives of the trademarks and franchise rights from 20 year to 10 years in 1999. MINORITY INTEREST. The reduction in net loss due to minority interest was $188 in the quarter ended August 31, 2000 versus an increase in net income of $482 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999. This difference is the result of Keim Group Ltd. and MaxAmerica Home Warranty Company, combined, recording losses in the applicable quarters. 13 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. HomeLife's primary source of liquidity is positive cash flow from its current operations. In addition it has 3,750 shares of Voice Mobility Inc. as a marketable security, and lines of credit with two banks in the amounts of CDN$50,000 and $25,000. The capital requirements of the Company are for operating expenses and to service and use of its lines of credit. The Company has recorded a loss on its marketable security as the share price has declined in the public market from the purchase share price. The Company has recorded significant operating losses in the prior three years. These losses are primarily due to amortization and depreciation of acquisitions made in prior years, loss on investments made in prior years, and write down of promotional and marketing materials purchased in prior years due to outdated advertising campaigns. Cash flow is cumulatively positive for the past three years, and it is projected that operations for the coming years can be funded out of future cash flows. The Company does not have any derivative instruments or hedging activities therefore, the Company believes that SFAS No. 133 will have no material impact on the Company's financial statements or notes thereto. FOREIGN OPERATIONS. Foreign operations consist of the sale of a master franchise agreement to an individual in Germany. Payment for this agreement was scheduled to be made in 12 quarterly payments beginning in October 1999. Only partial payments have been received. However, the Company is now in negotiations with the obligor to re-structure this obligation. Continued default of this agreement will deprive the Company of the anticipated payments, but it is anticipated to have no adverse consequences to the operations of the Company, since it has no commitments of capital or other resources to its foreign operations.
