PROPOSAL NO. 1
AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
The Company's Directors propose an amendment to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares of common stock,
par value $0.001 per share.
Purpose of Increasing the Company's Authorized Shares of Common Stock
To Facilitate a Possible Merger or Share Exchange
The Board of Directors has received inquiries from third parties concerning
interest in possible acquisitions of controlling interests in the Company and
the simultaneous acquisition by the Company of an operating entity through such
transactions as a reverse merger, share exchange, a share exchange followed by a
reverse merger or other similar transaction (an "Acquisition Transaction"). In
each case, the inquiries were made on behalf of operating companies interested
in the acquisition of control of a publicly traded shell company. Under the
right circumstances, although control of the Company would become vested in
others, the Board of Directors believes that the Company's acquisition of a
financially sound operating company through such a transaction would be prudent
and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the
Board of Directors believes that it is desirable to have additional shares of
common stock available for such possible future transactions for the acquisition
of control of the Company
While the Company has engaged in discussions with persons expressing a possible
interest in entering into an Acquisition Transaction with the Company, the
Company has not entered into any letter of intent or any binding agreement for
such a transaction. There can be no assurance that the Company will be presented
with a proposal acceptable to both the Board of Directors and the Company's
controlling shareholder or that the Company will ultimately enter into a binding
agreement for an Acquisition Transaction if one is presented. Since there is no
pending transaction, it is currently impracticable to describe the ultimate
terms of an Acquisition Transaction for which the increase in the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock is principally proposed.
3
General Corporate Purposes
Even in the absence of such an acquisition transaction, the Company's directors
believe that it is desirable to have additional shares of common stock available
for other possible future financings, possible future acquisition transactions,
stock dividends, stock splits and other general corporate purposes. The
Company's directors believe that having such additional authorized shares of
common stock available for issuance in the future should give the Company
greater flexibility and may allow such shares to be issued without the expense
and delay of a further information statement, holding a special shareholders'
meeting or otherwise obtaining further shareholder approval. Although such
issuance of additional shares with respect to future financings and acquisitions
would dilute existing shareholders, management believes that such transactions
would increase the value of the Company to its shareholders. No such financings
or transactions are currently in process and none are expected to occur in the
immediate future.
Amendment to Certificate Of Incorporation
The Company's Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the issuance of a
maximum of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 12,371,886 shares are
currently issued and outstanding. The proposed amendment to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation provides for the authorization of 400,000,000
additional shares of the Company's Common Stock. Such an amendment would permit
the Company to issue a maximum of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
The amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation shall be filed with the
Nevada Secretary of State so that Article 4 of the Articles of Incorporation
shall be changed as follows. The first sentence of Article shall be deleted in
its entirety and substituted with the following:
This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of capital
stock, designated respectively "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock" The
total number of shares of Common Stock which this Corporation is
authorized to issue is Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares with a
par value of $0.001 per share.
A proposed draft of the amendment to the Company's Articles of Organization is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Advantages and Disadvantages Of Increasing Authorized Shares
There are certain advantages and disadvantages of voting for an increase in the
Company's authorized common stock.
The advantages include:
- - The ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock.
- - The ability to complete a transaction for the acquisition of a financially
sound operating company through a share exchange, reverse merger or other
transaction described above or other possible financing transactions.
- - To have shares of common stock available to pursue business expansion
and/or other corporate opportunities, if any.
The disadvantages include:
- - Dilution to the existing shareholders.
- - A decrease in our net income per share in future periods. This could cause
the market price of our stock to decline.
4
- - Once the increase in the number of authorized shares is approved, the
Board of Directors will have the authority to approve the issuance of up
to the full amount of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
without the consent of, or any vote by, the Company's stockholders.
- - The issuance of additional authorized shares of Common Stock will likely
result in a change in control of the Company. Additionally, an Acquisition
Transaction may require some or all of the current officers and/or
directors of the Company to resign their positions.
- - Either the current Board of Directors or those who may acquire control of
the Company following an Acquisition Transaction may seek to implement a
reverse split of the Company's outstanding Common Stock in order to, for
example, further increase the number of shares of authorized but unissued
Common Stock. Any such action may be implemented by the Board of
Directors, and no further approval by the shareholders will be required.
The current Board of Directors, however, has no present intention of
authorizing a reverse split of the shares of outstanding Common Stock
following the approval of this proposal.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY (WITH ANDREW CIMERMAN ABSTAINING) RECOMMENDS
A VOTE "FOR" AMENDING THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED
COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY FROM 100,000,000 TO 500,000,000 SHARES.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
SPINOUT OF ALL OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS TO A SEPARATE ENTITY CONTROLLED BY ANDREW
CIMERMAN, THE COMPANY'S PRESIDENT, PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER AND MEMBER OF ITS BOARD
OF DIRECTORS, UPON COMPLETION OF A MERGER OR SHARE EXCHANGE WITH ANOTHER ENTITY
The Company's directors propose that, simultaneous with the completion of an
acceptable Acquisition Transaction pursuant to which the Company acquires a
financially sound operating company and voting control of the Company is
acquired by others, the Company spinout all of its assets to a separate entity
controlled by Mr. Andrew Cimerman in exchange for all of his shares of the
Company's Class A Preferred stock, a significant block of his shares of the
Company's common stock, the satisfaction of all of the Company's debts and
obligations to him and his assumption of all of the Company's debts and
liabilities under its bank lines of credit and its commercial office leases.
Given the personal interest of Andrew Cimerman in the proposal, Mr. Cimerman has
abstained from voting as a member of the Board of Directors on the issue of
whether or not to recommend approval of the proposed spinout of assets. Other
than Mr. Cimerman, no officer or director of the Company has an interest in this
proposal.
Purpose
The Board of Directors has received inquiries from third parties concerning
interest in entering into possible Acquisition Transactions. In each case, the
inquiry was made on behalf of an operating entity interested in the reverse
acquisition of a publicly-traded company having no operations or significant
assets or liabilities. None of those third parties expressed an interest in
acquiring the Company's operating subsidiaries or other assets.
The Board of Directors believes it would be prudent and in the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders to pursue possible acquisition transactions in
which the Company either acquires or is acquired by a financially sound
operating entity. In any such transaction, it is likely that voting control of
the Company would be acquired by those in control of such operating entity. In
order to make the Company more attractive for such a potential transaction, the
Board of Directors believes it would be prudent to authorize the spinout of all
of the Company's assets to a separate entity controlled by Andrew Cimerman, the
Company's President, Principal Shareholder and Director. Such a spinout,
however, would be contingent upon, and would only occur upon completion of, an
acceptable acquisition transaction of the type described above.
5
Assets to be Transferred to Mr. Cimerman
The Company's assets consist primarily of: (1) the capital stock of four active
wholly-owned subsidiaries and six inactive wholly-owned subsidiaries; (2) the
capital stock of two corporations in which the Company owns a majority interest;
(3) 3,000 freely tradable shares of Berkshire Asset Management; (4) the
Company's rights under various franchise agreements; and (5) the Company's

Franchise Agreements
The Company operates its real estate services through franchises. The franchise
allows independently operated real estate offices to have national brand name
recognition and to share in regional advertising. The Company's franchisor
management periodically visits each real estate office to conduct in-house sales
and marketing training. The franchisor also trains the real estate office
manager on how to recruit new sales personnel.
Franchises are granted to licensed brokers to operate under the business system
and plan developed by the Company and to use one of the following HomeLife
trademarks for such operations: HomeLife, HomeLife (Words & Design), HomeLife
Realty Services and HomeLife Realty, and such other and substitute trade names,
trademarks, service marks, graphics and logotypes as may from time to time be
designated by the Company.
Franchises are operated in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan,
Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin and comprise 120 offices. The
franchise relationship is governed by the franchise offering circular applicable
to the state in which the franchisee operates and according to the terms and
conditions of the "Participating Independent Broker Franchise Agreement". The
terms of the franchise agreements vary depending upon the market in which the
franchisee operates. From time to time, the Company offers incentive or bonus
plans to attract new franchise members. These programs may directly or
indirectly decrease initial franchise fees of those franchisees entitled to such
bonuses or incentives.
The Franchise Agreement also requires the payment of "Other Fees." These fees
include monthly franchise fees on a fixed fee or percentage of gross revenues
basis, termed royalty fees and advertising contributions. Other fees also
include transfer fees, training fees, interest on overdue accounts, fees related
to accounting and bookkeeping system materials, and renewal fees. There are also
fees that may be incurred under special circumstances such as indemnification
responsibilities, insurance costs, costs of enforcing the franchise agreements
and audit costs.
In addition to the above fees, the franchisee has certain obligations under the
Franchise Agreement including but not limited to compliance with standards and
policies set forth in operating manuals, territorial development and sales
quotas, initial and on-going training and certain advertising and participation
requirements. In exchange for the franchisee's obligations and fees, the Company
provides training programs, the use of its marketing system, its business system
and plan, on-going education, advertising and general support to its
franchisees.
6
Licensing Agreements
The Company also operates its business through licensing of the HomeLife
trademarks. According to the terms of the standard licensing agreement,
franchisees are obligated to pay a membership fee to the Company's Red Carpet
Real Estate Services in exchange for the right to use certain trademarks and
service marks owned by the Company and to operate its business under the Red
Carpet trade name to the Company, and the Company is obligated to provide these
licensees with the right to use its proprietary trademarks and service marks.

Class A Preferred stock, a large block of his shares of the Company's common
stock, the satisfaction of all of the Company's indebtedness to Mr. Cimerman
(including loans he extended to the Company and the cumulated but unpaid
dividends on his shares of Preferred stock) and his assumption of the Company's
debts and obligations under its bank lines of credit and its commercial office
leases. Additionally, it is anticipated that a potential acquiror in such a
transaction would make a cash payment to Mr. Cimerman in the approximate amount
of $250,000, which he would use (in part) to satisfy the company's outstanding
lines of credit.

receive from Andrew Cimerman in a spinout of all of its assets to him:
7
The figures presented in the following table are based on the Board of
Director's reasonable estimates and such figures in any particular transaction
will be subject to negotiation and may be materially greater or less than this
estimated amount. In addition, the figures below do not account for unpaid
interests and dividends which may accrue between the date of this information
statement and the date on which the transaction is consummated.

(1) This figure represents the Board of Director's estimate of the
likely minimum number of shares of common stock Mr. Cimerman will be
required to relinquish.
(2) This indebtedness by the Company to Mr. Cimerman consists of $95,000
of principal and accrued interest (as of May 19, 2006) on loans
extended by Mr. Cimerman to the Company, and $25,000 of cumulated
but unpaid dividends on the shares of the Company's Class A

accrued interest (as of May 19, 2006) owed by the Company to various
banks on outstanding lines of credit.

month, and its term expires in September 2006.
Andrew Cimerman has indicated that he will accept all of the Company's assets in
exchange for such consideration and that he will vote in favor of a spinout of
all the Company's asset to him as proposed above if: (1) the acquisition
transaction (whether through a merger, reverse merger, share exchange or other
transaction) is otherwise acceptable; and (2) the spinout in conditioned upon,
and takes place simultaneous with, the completion of such a transaction.
(iii) Reasons for Engaging in the Transaction
There are certain advantages and disadvantages of authorizing a transfer of all
of the Company's assets to Andrew Cimerman as described above.
The advantages include:
- - In pursuing possible transactions with persons who may be interested in
acquiring a publicly traded company without operating subsidiaries or
other assets, the Company will be in a position to complete such a
transaction.
- - A spinout of all of the Company's assets in the manner described will
eliminate all or substantially all of the Company's outstanding debts,
liabilities and obligations, including those owed to the Company's bank,
its landlords and Andrew Cimerman.
The disadvantages include:
- - Through such a spinout, the Company will not have the option of attempting
to sell its assets for their fair market value and the shareholders will
not have the ability to share in any liquidation proceeds of such assets
to the extent they may exceed the amount of the Company's outstanding
debts, liabilities and obligations.
(iv) The Vote Required for Approval of the Transaction
The vote which is required to approve the spinout of assets to a separate entity
controlled by Mr. Cimerman is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of our voting stock.
(v) An Explanation of Any Material Differences in the Rights of Security
Holders as a Result of the Transaction, if Material.

Financial Information
The information required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X with respect to the
spinout of assets to a separate entity controlled by Andrew Cimerman is attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
Limitations
The Company has not sought an appraisal of its assets or made any determinations
as to whether there may be an interest by persons in purchasing such assets.
Additionally, the Company has not made any determination that, even if a ready
market existed for such assets, the amount of proceeds which might be derived
from their liquidation would be sufficient to satisfy all of the Company's
debts, liabilities and obligations (including those owed to Mr. Cimerman) and to
have sufficient excess proceeds to pay a liquidating distribution to the
Company's shareholders. If such excess proceeds could be obtained, however, a
significant portion of those proceeds would be paid to Mr. Cimerman as the
holder of 72.8% of the Company's capital stock. Mr. Cimerman holds both a
significant portion of the Company's outstanding common stock and all of the
outstanding shares of its Class A Preferred stock. As a result, the Board of
Directors is unable to predict with any certainty whether the disinterested
shareholders would achieve a better economic result through liquidation rather
than a spinout.
Moreover, the Board of Directors believes that the Company should remain a going
concern and maintain its assets and operations prior to the completion of any
acquisition transaction. The directors are unable to predict, however, whether
liquidating sales of the Company's assets (whether in one or multiple
transactions) can be closed simultaneous with, or even made contingent upon, the
completion of an acquisition transaction as described above.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY (WITH ANDREW CIMERMAN ABSTAINING) RECOMMENDS
A VOTE "FOR" AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF ALL OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS TO ANDREW
CIMERMAN UPON COMPLETION OF A MERGER, SHARE EXCHANGE OR OTHER TRANSACTION
ACCEPTABLE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, and Nevada
law does not provide for dissenter's rights for any of the proposals described
above. If the Company ultimately enters into an Acquisition Transaction
involving a share exchange, however, any stockholder will be entitled to dissent
from the transaction and obtain payment of the fair value of his or her shares,
but only if his or her shares would be acquired in the share exchange.
Presently, the Company does not anticipate agreeing to any Acquisition
Transaction involving a share exchange in which the shares of any shareholder
other than Mr. Cimerman will be acquired.

such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such

outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of the person holding
such options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of

Pro Forma Financial Information
The Pro Forma Financial Information required by Article 11 of
Regulation S-X is presented herewith:
PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL DATA
The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations of the Company for the
year ended May 31, 2005 and for the nine months ended February 28, 2006 (the
"Pro Forma Statements of Operations"), and the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet
of the Company as of February 28, 2006 (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet" and,
together with the Pro Forma Statements of Operations, the "Pro Forma Financial
Statements"), have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the
disposition of the assets and liabilities of HomeLife, Inc and all of its
majority- and wholly-owned subsidiaries ("HomeLife Disposition"). The Pro Forma
Financial Statements do not reflect any anticipated cost savings from the
HomeLife Disposition, or any synergies that are anticipated to result from the
HomeLife Disposition, and there can be no assurance that any such cost savings
or synergies will occur. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations give pro forma
effect to the HomeLife Disposition as if it had occurred on June 1, 2004. The
Pro Forma Balance Sheet gives pro forma effect to the HomeLife Disposition as if
it had occurred on February 28, 2006. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not
purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial position of
the Company that would have actually been obtained had such transaction been
completed as of the assumed dates and for the period presented, or which may be
obtained in the future. The pro forma adjustments are described in the
accompanying notes and are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The Pro Forma Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto as reported in the annual Form
10-KSB and the quarterly Form 10-QSB's and the audited and interim reviewed
financial reports included therein.
These pro forma adjustments represent the Company's preliminary
determination of accounting adjustments and are based upon available information
and certain assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable.
Consequently, the amounts reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are
subject to change, and the final amounts may differ, however, the Company's
management believes that any differences in the amounts reflected will be
immaterial.
