NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2001
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Lifen, Inc., have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained
in the Company's latest Annual Report, for the fiscal year ended August 31,
2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been
reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2. Organization
Lifen, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of
Delaware on November 10, 1997 under the name Digivision International, Ltd.
The Company's name was changed to Lifen, Inc. on June 22, 2000. To date, the
Company has had no commercial operations and has been engaged in the development
of its business plan, market research, initial web site development, and seeking
initial financing in order to commence commercial operations.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant
estimates relate to the valuation allowance in connection with deferred tax
assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The cost of maintenance and
repairs is charged to operations as incurred.

LIFEN, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2001
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS 121, the Company has adopted a policy of recording
an impairment loss on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
Organization Costs
The Company has adopted SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities", which requires that all costs of start-up activities and
organization costs be expensed as incurred. The Company expects that the
adoption of SOP 98-5, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998, will not have a material effect on its financial statements.
Web Site Development
In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued No. 00-02 ("EITF 00-02"),
"Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." EITF 00-02 states that all costs
relating to software used to operate a web site and relating to development of
initial graphics and web page design should be accounted for using Statement of
Position ("SOP") 98-1. Under this SOP, costs incurred in the preliminary project
stage should be expensed as incurred, as should most training and data
conversion costs. External direct costs of materials and services and internal
direct payroll-related costs should be capitalized once certain criteria are
met. EITF 00-02 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after June 30,
2000. The Company's accounting policy for internal-use software, as required by
SOP 98-1, incorporated the requirements of EITF 00-02. To date, no significant
costs have been incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under
the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. An
allowance is recorded, based on currently available information, when it
is more likely than not that any or all of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable, if
any, plus the net change during the period presented in deferred tax assets and
liabilities recorded by the Company.

Per Share Data
The Company has adopted the standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board and computes earnings per share data in accordance with SFAS No. 128
"Earning per Share." The basis per share data has been computed on the loss for
the period divided by the historic weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. There are no potentially dilutive securities which would be
included in computation of fully diluted earnings per share.
Note 4. Income Taxes
There is no provision for Federal or State Income Taxes for the periods ended
November 30, 2001 and 2000. Deferred tax assets at November 30, 2001 and 2000
consist of the following:
2001 2000
Net Operating loss carryforward $ 84,000 $ 45,000
Valuation allowance (84,000) (45,000)
$ -0- $ -0-

approximately $207,000 which expire in various years from 2012 through 2016.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2001
During the period covered by this Report, the Company reached agreement with
Ameristar to provide the Company with management services needed for its
continuing development. Accordingly, on November 1, 2001, an agreement was
executed with Ameristar to provide consulting services, office space, and
administrative services for a two-year period. The monthly cost of these
services is $5,500, consisting of $2,500 for consulting services, $1,000 for
rent, and $2,000 for administrative services. The consulting services include
such activities as business plans; introductions to financial community;
strategic planning; evaluation of potential business relationships, such as
joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions; business projections; review of
marketing plans; and general advisory and management services as required.
Note 7. Going Concern
Lifen, Inc. is considered to be a development stage company. Since inception,
the Company has been engaged in the development of its business plan, market
research and initial web site development. At August 31, 2001, the Company had
incurred losses during the development stage of $206,996. Approximately $28,950
of the cumulative losses have been non-cash services in exchange for common
stock in the Company. The balance of the losses, approximately $178,000, was
funded by the private placements of common stock, which totaled $339,000 as of
August 31, 2001.
Primary to the Company's solvency is the sale of additional equity in the
Company, continuing the Company's strategy of funding development through
additional equity financing. These funds will be used to manage working capital
requirements and to fund ongoing development costs. Capital commitments for the
current fiscal year are minimal, and additional funds raised through private
placements should be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations for that
period and until the various planned activities are able to create significant
cash flow. The Company plans to raise any necessary capital through the sale of
additional equity. If additional capital is not readily available, the Company
will be forced to scale back its development activities such that its income
will exceed its expenses. Although this will greatly slow the Company's
development, it will allow for the Company's survival. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, and as such, the Company is substantially
dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital to cover its development
costs.

Projections and assumptions contained and expressed herein were reasonably
based on information available to the Company at the time so furnished and as
of the date of this filing. All such projections and assumptions are subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
Company's control, and no assurance can be given that the projections will be
realized. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Careful

no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Results of Operations
The Company did not have any revenue during the three month period ended
November 30, 2001, or during the comparable period for the prior year, and has
not had any revenue since its inception in 1997.
The net loss for the three month period ended November 30, 2001 was $16,038
compared to a net loss of $32,966 for the comparable period in the prior year,
a decreased loss of $16,928, resulting from a decrease in professional fees
totalling $22,500, increased consulting expenses of $3,771, and increased
miscellaneous expenses of $1,801.
The total cash and cash equivalents at November 30, 2001 totalled $226 compared
to $30,529 at August 31, 2001, a decrease of $30,303.
Company Overview
The Company was duly incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on
November 10, 1997 as Digivision International,Ltd., and the corporation name
was changed to Lifen, Inc. (the "Company") on June 22, 2000. To date, the
10
Company has had no commercial operations and has been engaged in the development
of its business plan, initial market research activities, initial web site
development, and seeking initial funding in order to commence commercial
operations.
Lifen's preliminary business plan encompasses the general subject areas of
health, wellness, nutrition, fitness, and beauty, with a particular emphasis on
the overweight population and obesity. The Company's plan is based on the
experience of the Company's medical principals, analysis and evaluation of the
current health and wellness environment and trends, and perceived
opportunities in utilization of the Internet. The Company's objective is to
establish a Wellness Center in Westchester County, New York, or an alternative
location, in conjunction with medical doctors and surgeons located in
contiguous space, who specialize in treating overweight and obese patients,
as well as complementary healthcare professionals such as nutritionists,
physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. The Company plans
to provide an atmosphere that would enable members to follow the advice of
their physicians under the supervision of fitness professionals. Current plans
for the Lifen Wellness Center include providing fitness services; wellness
programs emphasizing preventive care; non-medical after-care for obesity
surgery patients; counseling regarding diet, nutrition, exercise, fitness, and
beauty; and also selling products such as nutritional supplements.
The market for the Company's services includes wellness programs for
corporations, which may be provided at their location or at the Company's
planned Wellness Center. In addition, the Company is developing an Internet web
site which will provide information to the members of the Lifen Wellness Center
and others who are interested in learning about wellness, weight management,
obesity and related problems. The web site will provide a venue for inter-
action for members and others to benefit from the exchange of information,
ideas and experiences. In addition to providing health and wellness information
on a wide variety of topics on its web site, the Company intends to develop
e-commerce business, and provide the ability for users to develop chat
communities for health and wellness related interests.
Plan of Operation
The Company's success in achieving profitability will depend on its ability to
implement its marketing strategy and obtain the projected revenues from the
sale of products and services, while not exceeding budgeted expenses. During
the implementation of its business plan, the Company will be subject to all of
the risks inherent in a growing business, including the need to provide
reliable and effective products and services, to develop marketing expertise,
and to effectively generate sales. In the event that the Company's projected
market does not develop as anticipated, the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.
Primary to the Company's solvency is the sale of additional equity in the
Company, continuing the Company's strategy of funding development through
additional equity financing. These funds will be used to manage working capital
requirements and to fund ongoing development costs.
11
The amount of capital required would be reduced significantly if the Company
finds a suitable existing facility for its initial operations.
Capital commitments for the current fiscal year are minimal, and additional
funds raised through private placements should be sufficient to meet the
Company's obligations for that period and until the various planned activities
described herein are able to create significant cash flow. The Company has
received an audit opinion which includes a "going concern" risk. The Company is
aware of this risk and plans to raise any necessary capital through the sale of
additional equity. If additional capital is not readily available, the Company
will be forced to scale back its development activities such that its income
will exceed its expenses. Although this will greatly slow the Company's
development, it will allow for the Company's survival. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, and as such, the Company is substantially
dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital to cover its development
costs.
In addition to the Company's projected expenses and cash flow, financing
requirements will depend on other factors, such as the progress of its market
research and development, any changes resulting from continuing research,
development of new technology, and the economic impact of competition. The
Company's future long-term capital requirements will depend significantly on
the rate of its business growth, the introduction of services, and the success
of such services after they are introduced. Projections of future long-term
cash needs are subject to substantial uncertainty.
Related Party Transaction
During the period covered by this Report, the Company reached agreement with
Ameristar Group Incorporated ("Ameristar") to provide the Company with
management services needed for its continuing development. Ameristar is an
affiliate of two corporate shareholders of the Company. (Refer to Form 10-KSB
for fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, "ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS".) Accordingly, on November 1, 2001, an agreement was
executed with Ameristar to provide consulting services, office space, and
administrative services for a two year period. The monthly cost of these
services is $5,500; consisting of $2,500 for consulting services, $1,000 for
rent, and $2,000 for administrative services. The consulting services include
such activities as business plans; introductions to financial community;
strategic planning; evaluation of potential business relationships, such as
joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions; business projections; review of
marketing plans; and general advisory and management services as required.
The monthly rent and administrative services were previously included in an
agreement with Ameristar dated December 27, 1999 (See Form 10-SB/A, Exhibit
Number 6), which has been terminated and superseded by the above referenced
agreement for management services.
12
The total expenses incurred by the Company from Ameristar for the three months
ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, and from inception, November 11, 1997 through
November 30, 2001 are $11,500, $9,000 and $94,084, respectively. The Company
advanced funds to Ameristar totaling $28,000 during the three months ended
November 30, 2001 and has a balance of funds advanced to Ameristar totaling
$131,900 on that date.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At November 30, 2001, the Company had an insignificant amount of cash totaling
$226. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the amount
of capital required to meet its working capital needs.
