<PAGE>
Note 3. 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:
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. At the end of May 31,1999, there is 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
6
<PAGE>
(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.
(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 20 years Organization
costs 5 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 May 31, 1999, 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
is not recognized as income, is 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 and
non-employee stock based compensation.

(o) Foreign Currency Translation
Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, maintains its books
and records in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated
using the temporal method. Under this method, all monetary items are translated
into Canadian funds at the rate of exchange prevailing at balance sheet date.
Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. 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.
The translation of the financial statements of this wholly-owned subsidiary from
Canadian dollars into United States dollars is performed for the convenience of
the reader. 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 determination of earnings for the year.
(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 [see note 2(c)] 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. 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 5. BANK INDEBTEDNESS
At February 29, 2000 and May 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).
Note 6. ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDER
The advances are from a majority stockholder and are non-interest bearing, are
without specific terms of repayment and are not expected to repaid before June
1, 2000.

(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 by the company.
(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
As at 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.

<PAGE>
(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 140,000 issuance of common shares Common stock.
Note 8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The company is involved in a lawsuit with the sellers of Builders Realty
(Calgary) Ltd. to reduce the purchase price paid for Builders Realty (Calgary)
Ltd. The sellers of Builders Realty (Calgary) Ltd. have filed a counter lawsuit
for damages of $20,352 (CDN $30,000). In management's opinion, this matter will
not have a material affect on the financial position of he company.
Note 9. COMMITMENTS

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 Service 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 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 Mortgage Capital Resources.
Home Value Check provides Internet based appraisals for lenders and consumers of
the Company's services. Mortgage Capital Resource 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

1999 to $226,807 for the period ending February 29,2000. This was due to a
greater marketing effort placed on home warranty sales.

$1,613,165 compared to $2,256,298 for the year ending February 28, 1999. This
decrease of $643,133 was primarily due to the decrease in sales commissions paid
to agents of Builders Realty as a result of higher real estate commissions
generated.

year ending February 29, 2000 compared to $411,989 for the year ending February
28, 1999. This increase of $121,975 was primarily the result of salary increases
to existing employees, and the hiring of an additional employee.

year ending February 29, 2000 were $413,944 versus $727,758 for the year ending
February 28, 1999. This decrease of $313,814 was primarily due to an decrease in
the use of outside consultants and a decrease in depreciation expenses.

compared to $177,703 for the year ending February 28, 1999. This decrease of
$43,430 was primarily the result of moving to less expensive office space in
Michigan.
Financial. Financial costs for the year ending February 29, 2000 were
$78,097 compared to $77,974 for the year ending February 28, 1999. Both expenses
were the result of a decline in the market value of a publicly traded security
owned by the company, and a loss on currency conversions, converting Canadian
dollars to US dollars.

ending February 29, 2000 compared to $153,911 for the year ending February 28,

amortized.

was $396 in the year ending February 29, 2000 versus $6,882 for the year ending
February 28, 1999. This decrease of $6,486 was due to lower revenues for the
Keim Group, partially offset by higher revenues from MaxAmerica Home Warranty.
Preferred Dividends. Preferred Dividends were $1,700 in the year ending
February 29, 2000 versus $2,340 for the year ending February 28, 1999. This
decrease of $640 was due to the conversion of preferred stock into common stock.
