NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2003
NOTE 1. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN AND FUTURE OPERATIONS
As of February 28, 2003, adverse principal conditions and events are
prevalent that require necessary action by management to enable the
company to return to profitability and to reverse these adverse
conditions and events. These conditions and events include recurring
operating losses, working capital deficiencies, negative cash flow
from operations and adverse key financial ratios. Management's plans
to mitigate these adverse conditions and events include:
1. During the prior fiscal year, the company closed the operations
of an unprofitable subsidiary, HomeLife Builders Realty (Calgary)
Ltd, and sold certain assets.
2. During the prior fiscal year, certain cost cutting measures were
implemented to significantly reduce office rental costs, payroll
expenses and certain SEC filing costs in the Michigan and
California offices.
3. During the prior fiscal year, the company settled certain
lawsuits regarding Network and International Estates which will
further reduce legal fees and management involvement.
4. The company is currently focusing on:
- the core business of franchising,
- the home warranty business,
- attempting to raise additional funding through private and
public offering,
- investigating and pursing potential mergers/acquisitions.
Despite their best efforts, however, there can be no assurance that the company
will be successful in their endeavors in this regard.

activities:
The company franchises full service real estate brokerage offices and provides
operational and administrative services to its franchisees under the names,

through its subsidiary, HomeLife California Properties Inc.
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 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.
8
(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 February 28, 2003, 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
During the year ended the company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under the new rules, goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed
annually for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have
an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The
amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets
acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets
acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company began applying the new accounting
rules effective June 1, 2001. Consequently the company has changed its
accounting policy of amortizing goodwill over 40 years to the amortization
provisions of SFAS No. 142.
(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 February 28, 2003, management expects its long-lived assets to
be fully recoverable.
9
(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 which represent incurred but not reported losses (IBNR)
under these warranties have been recorded as reserve for warranty and are based
on past loss 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 is not recognized as income
is recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue.
(m) Income taxes
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 consolidated
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 for employee stock
based compensation. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock option is measured
as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the company's stock at the
measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. See
note 14 (f) for a summary of the pro-forma EPS determined as if the company had
applied FAS No. 123. The company's stock option plan prior to 1997 which vested
immediately and therefore there are no expense amounts to be reflected in the
current consolidated financial statements. The company will use the fair value
approach for stock option plan granted to non-employees according to EITF 96-18.
There were no stock options granted to non-employees in fiscal years 2003 and
2002.
(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. Balance sheet accounts are translated using
closing exchange rates in effect 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 into United States dollars at
the rates on the respective dates or at any other certain rates. Adjustments
resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income in stockholders' equity.
10
(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 4. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
On October 1, 2002, the company entered into a reorganization agreement with
Anza Capital Inc. The reorganization agreement is conditioned upon the approval
of the Board of Directors and shareholders of HomeLife Inc., as well the
shareholders of Anza Capital, Inc. Should the agreement be approved, under the
agreement, all assets of HomeLife Inc., with the exception of the public entity
and the Red Carpet real estate brokerage trademark and associated franchise
operations, would be assigned to Family Life Realty Services, Inc., in exchange
for the majority interest in HomeLife Inc of Mr. Andrew Cimerman.
This proposed reorganization was terminated in agreement by all parties on March
12, 2003.
NOTE 5. GOODWILL
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended February 28,
2003, are as follows:
Royalty &
Franchise Fees Warranty Sales
Segment Segment Total
Balance as of
June 1, 2002 $ 269,167 $ 90,000 $ 359,167
Impairment losses -- (90,000) (90,000)
---------- ---------- ----------
Balance as of
February 28, 2003 $ 269,167 $ -- $ 269,167
========== ========== ==========
Due to the loss of key personnel, cash flows were less than expected for home
warranty fees in the first nine months of fiscal year 2003. In November 2002, a
goodwill impairment loss of $90,000 was recognized in the MaxAmerica Home
Warranty reporting unit. The fair value of that reporting unit was estimated
using the expected present value of future cash flows.
The following table represents the impact of adopting SFAS No. 142 on net loss
and net loss per share had the standard been in effect as of February 28, 2002:

NOTE 6. PURCHASED FRANCHISE RIGHTS
During the prior fiscal year, the Company received a franchise right in lieu of
payment of a note receivable from a franchisee. During the nine months ended
February 28, 2003, an impairment loss of $20,000 associated with the Purchased
Franchise Rights was recognized. The fair value of the purchased franchise
rights was estimated using the expected selling price per franchise.
NOTE 7. BANK INDEBTEDNESS
At February 28, 2003, the company had three available lines of credit under bank
loan agreements. Two of the lines amounted to $46,206 combined and were
unsecured operating credit lines bearing interest at the rate of 16% per annum.
These lines were held by the corporate office in California. The third line of
credit amounted to $29,198 (Canadian $50,000) and was held by the Calgary
office. This operating credit facility bears interest at the bank's prime
lending rate plus 2% per annum with interest payable monthly. All three credit
facilities are guaranteed by a major shareholder of the company.

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 by the company.

note receivable of $250,000. On October 8, 1999, the promissory note receivable

Corp. ("Pioneer"). The value of these Pioneer shares have been guaranteed by the
issuer of the promissory note for $250,000 (the "guaranty"). Should the value of
the Pioneer shares be less than $250,000 on the due date of the promissory note,
October 8, 2000, the issuer of the note has the option to make up the difference
in cash, or make up the difference with HomeLife Inc.'s common stock by

company, Consolidated International Telecom, Inc. ("Consolidated"), in exchange
for the 100,000 shares of Pioneer, the guaranty and to extend the repayment date
of the promissory note from October 8, 2000 to December 31, 2001. The company

$250,000 and has written off this amount in the prior fiscal year.
On November 13, 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby
agreeing to accept 150,000 shares of stock in Berkshire Asset Management, Inc.
During the third quarter, the stock was received. Due to the low value of the
stock, management has determined that no asset should be recorded.

ITEM 2. 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.
Certain assets of Builders Realty (Calgary) were sold during the prior fiscal
year. 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 fiscal year 2000, HomeLife has formed a strategic
alliance with Allstate Funding. Allstate Funding provides loan processing and
underwriting for MaxAmerica Financial Services, Inc., the real estate mortgage
brokerage subsidiary of HomeLife.
On October 1, 2002, the company entered into a reorganization agreement
with Anza Capital Inc. The reorganization agreement is conditioned upon the
approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of HomeLife Inc., as well as
shareholders of Anza Capital, Inc. Should the agreement be approved, under the
agreement, all assets of HomeLife Inc., with the exception of the public entity
and the Red Carpet real estate brokerage trademark and associated franchise
operations, would be assigned to the Family Life, in exchange for the majority
interest in HomeLife Inc of Mr. Andrew Cimerman. This proposed reorganization
was terminated in agreement by all parties on March 12, 2003.
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

REVENUES. The Company generated gross sales of $159,764 for the quarter
ended February 28, 2003 compared to gross sales of $222,162 for the quarter
ended February 28, 2002. Revenue by business segment is shown below:

Other 51,621 32 26,352 12
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
TOTAL 159,764 100 222,162 100
========== ========== ========== ==========
The largest decrease in revenue from fiscal year 2002 was from royalty and
franchise fees. During the current fiscal year, there have not been any new
franchises or master franchises sold. Additionally, the franchises that are on a
transaction basis have sold less than in the prior fiscal year due to the
competitiveness of the real estate market.
Mortgage financing was not earned during the current fiscal year. There is
strong competition in this area and the record low mortgage financing rates.
Additionally, the company no longer has a dedicated individual to sell the
financing at the current time.
Home warranty sales were lower in the current year third quarter compared to the
same period in the prior year due to a general downturn in the Michigan real
estate market over the past year. This is another area where the company no
longer has a dedicated individual to market home warranties.
DIRECT COSTS. As a percentage of sales, direct costs increased from 18% for
the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 24% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2003. This increase in costs results from higher expenses incurred with
claims associated with the warranty revenue.
SALARIES AND FRINGE BENEFITS. Salaries and fringe benefits decreased from
$85,028 for the three months ended February 28, 2002 to $72,601 for the three
months ended February 28, 2003 . This decrease of $12,427 was the result of an
employee who left the company in the prior fiscal year and has not been
replaced.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative costs decreased to
$42,433 for the quarter ended February 28, 2003 from $112,749 for the quarter
ended February 28, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in
outside services in regards to the closing of operations of Builders Realty
(Calgary), legal fees and also a company wide monitoring of expenses.
OCCUPANCY. Occupancy costs increased from $13,486 for the quarter ended
February 28, 2002 to $14,875 for the quarter ended February 28, 2003 due to some
minor repairs and maintenance expense incurred for the California office.
FINANCIAL. Financial costs were lower for the quarter ended February 28,
2003 compared to the same period in the prior year due to less interest paid
than in the prior year.
DEPRECIATION. Depreciation of fixed assets was comparable for both periods.
AMORTIZATION. Amortization of intangibles was $20,192 for the three months
ended February 28, 2002 and $12,963 for the three months ended February 28, 2003
.. The decrease in the current fiscal year relates to the implementation of FASB
142.
MINORITY INTEREST. The change minority interest results from the combined
net loss of Keim & MaxAmerica.

---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
TOTAL 603,683 100 1,304,006 100
========== ========== ========== ==========
The largest decrease in revenue from fiscal year 2002 was from real estate
brokerage. The Company sold certain assets of Builders Realty (Calgary) at the
end of the first quarter, in the prior fiscal year. Additionally, there have not
been any franchise or master franchise sold in the current year.
Royalty fees & franchise fees combined decreased from the prior fiscal year due
to fewer offices in the current fiscal year. Additionally, no new franchises or
master franchises have been sold in the current fiscal year.
Mortgage financing was not earned during the current fiscal year. There is
strong competition in this area and the record low mortgage financing rates.
Additionally, the company no longer has a dedicated individual to sell the
financing at the current time.
Home warranty sales were lower in the first nine months of the current year
compared to the same period in the prior year due to a general downturn in the
Michigan real estate market over the past year. This is another area where the
company no longer has a dedicated individual to market home warranties.
DIRECT COSTS. Consistent with the decrease in overall revenues mainly
attributable to the closing of the operations of Builders Realty (Calgary), the
direct costs are lower in the current year due to no sale commissions associated
with the revenue.
SALARIES AND FRINGE BENEFITS. Salaries and fringe benefits decreased from
$288,120 for the nine months ended February 28, 2002 to $224,153 for the nine
months ended February 28, 2003. This decrease of $63,967 was the result of two
employees who left the company and have not been replaced. The remainder of the
reduction relates to the payroll associated with the closing of the operations
of Builders Realty (Calgary).
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative costs decreased to
$194,482 for the period ended February 28, 2003 from $412,919 for the period
ended February 28, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the closing of
operations of Builders Realty (Calgary), reduction in outside services & legal
fees in addition to a company wide monitoring of expenses.
OCCUPANCY. The decrease of $16,195 in occupancy costs from fiscal year to
date 2002 compared to fiscal year to date 2003 results from the Michigan and
California corporate offices moving or reducing office space to reduce costs as
well as to the closing of operations of Builders Realty (Calgary).
FINANCIAL. Financial costs were lower for the nine months ended February
28, 2003 compared to the same period in the prior year due to less interest and
bank charges paid than in the prior year and less bad debt expense booked.
DEPRECIATION. Depreciation of fixed assets was comparable for both periods.
17
AMORTIZATION. Amortization of intangibles was $62,596 for nine months ended
February 28, 2002 and $38,889 for the nine months ended February 28, 2003. The
decrease in the current fiscal year relates to the implementation of FASB 142.
IMPAIRMENT LOSS. During the prior fiscal year, the Company received a
franchise right in lieu of payment of a note receivable from a franchisee. An
impairment loss of $10,000 was recognized during the first two quarters of the
current fiscal year. Additionally, due to the loss of key personnel, cash flows
related to home warranty sales were less than expected. In accordance with FASB
142, an impairment loss on goodwill of subsidiary of $90,000 was recognized
during the second quarter.
MINORITY INTEREST. The change minority interest results from the combined
net loss of Keim & MaxAmerica.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company has 3,750 shares of Voice Mobility
Inc. as a marketable security, and lines of credit with three banks in the
amounts of CDN$50,000 and $80,000. The Company has recorded significant
operating losses in the prior two years. These losses are primarily due to
amortization and depreciation and impairment losses of goodwill and franchise
rights purchased. 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.
The company has experienced recurring operating losses and has a working capital
deficiency of $450,398 as of February 28, 2003. During the prior fiscal year,
the company disposed of certain assets of Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd., a
wholly-owned subsidiary that had suffered recurring losses. In addition,
management has initiated changes in operational procedures, reduced staff and
expenses and focused its efforts on its core business. Management believes that,
despite the losses incurred and the deterioration in stockholders' equity, it
has developed a plan, which, if successfully implemented, can improve the
operating results and financial condition of the company. Furthermore, the
company continues its attempt to raise additional financings through private and
public offerings or looking into mergers and acquisitions.
FOREIGN FRANCHISEES. Foreign franchisees consist of the sale of a master
franchise agreement to an individual in Germany. Payments for this agreement
were scheduled to be made in 12 quarterly payments beginning in October 1999.
Only partial payments have been received, however, and the company is now in
negotiations with the obligor to restructure this obligation. Continued default
of this agreement will deprive the Company of the anticipated payments, but is
anticipated to have no adverse consequences to the operations of the Company,
since it has no commitments of capital of other resources to its foreign
franchisees. During the fiscal year 2001, the company sold master franchise
agreements in Portugal and China. During the prior fiscal year, the company
received payments on the master franchise agreements in Portugal and China.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
