ALESSANDRI & ALESSANDRI, P.A.
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Treasure Rockhound Ranches, Inc.
Lakeland, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Treasure Rockhound
Ranches, Inc., as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Sufficient evidential matter supporting the collectability of the
carrying amount of $724,422 due from the parent company, which amount would be
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the combined entities,
and which is discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, was not
available for our consideration. Accordingly, we were not able to satisfy
ourselves with respect to the carrying amount of the aforementioned item.
In our opinion, except for the affects of adjustments, if any, as
might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy
ourselves with respect to the aforementioned item, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Treasure Rockhound Ranches. Inc., at December 31, 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the second
paragraph above, certain evidential matter regarding the collectability of an
amount due from the parent company was not available, which amount, if
uncollectible, may cause substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TREASURE ROCKHOUND RANCHES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
Treasurer Rockhound Ranches, Inc., ("Company") was organized under the
laws of the State of Texas on January 17, 1975. The business of the Company is
the operation of seven recreational ranches in four southwestern states
covering approximately 5,400 owned acres and about 19,000 leased acres. The
ranches cater to the recreational vehicle vacationer, through the Company owned
Camper Ranch Club of America, which has over 5000 dues paying members, using
the seven recreational ranches. The ranches have developed recreational
vehicle sites with electric and water hookups, and various common amenities
such a meeting halls, swimming pools, etc., for the campers use. Certain of
the ranches also provide for back packing, hiking, non-vehicle camping, and
related activities.
In February 1990, the Company was acquired by EVRO Financial Corp.
(now known as Channel America Broadcasting, Inc.), and was operated as a
subsidiary of the acquiring entity. During 1995 EVRO Financial Corp., was
acquired by The Sports and Shopping Network, Inc. ("TSSN"). Prior to the
acquisition by TSSN, EVRO Financial Corp. formed a subsidiary company entitled
Technology Holdings, Inc.("Technology Holdings"), and transferred all of the
outstanding stock of the Company to Technology Holdings, Inc., in exchange for
common shares of Technology Holdings Inc.
In February 1997, Advantage Life Products, Inc. ("Advantage"), entered
into an agreement with Technology Holdings, to acquire all of the outstanding
common stock of the Company. (See Note 11).
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Company follows the accrual method of accounting in the
preparation of its financial statements. Its fiscal year ends on December 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure 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.
<PAGE> 10
Revenue Recognition:
Revenues from dues, rentals, and memberships are recognized
during the period of service.
Allowance for Doubtful Amounts
An allowance for doubtful amounts is provided when it appears
that realization of the receivable has become questionable.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. The costs of replacements, renewals, and repairs,
which neither add materially to the value of the property nor appreciably
prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements
are amortized ratably over the term of the lease.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues are recognized as income during the period
of service.
Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes is based on the
pre-tax earnings (loss) reported, if any, in the balance sheet, adjusted for
transactions that may never enter into the computation of income taxes payable.
A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax
effect attributable to temporary differences in the recognition of income and
expenses for financial statement and income tax purposes. A valuation
allowance is provided in the event that the tax benefits are expected to be
realized.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Economic and Concentration Risk
The business of the Company is concentrated in the operation
of recreational vehicle parks and a camper membership club related to such
parks. Revenues of the Company arise from membership dues, park usage, and
related fees from operation of the parks which are located primarily in the
southwestern states of the United States. The Company encounters risk from
competitors who have significantly greater resources, and from general and/or
regional economic changes.

2000 77,000
2001 & thereafter 218,000
</TABLE>
<PAGE> 12
NOTE 6 - DEFERRED REVENUES
During 1995, the Company developed a long-term leased lot/space
program, whereby the members of its camper club could lease a lot for five or
ten years, as applicable, for a lump sum payment, which payment is less than
the individual aggregate respective annual rental amounts. The deferred
revenue is being recognized as income ratably over the terms of the respective
underlying lease.
NOTE 7 - REFUNDABLE MEMBERSHIPS
Charter memberships in the Company's Camper Ranch Club of America were
originally sold, beginning in 1973 and for several years thereafter, on the
basis of an initiation fee and annual dues. The membership entitled the
members to use the recreational vehicle parks and facilities of the Company as
desired without further fees, except for hookup and utilities charges. The
memberships were sold with the provision that the initiation fee was fully
refundable. When the membership was sold, the Company recorded the initiation
fee as a liability, because the charter members could request refund of the fee
and terminate their membership at any time.
In 1990 and 1991, the Company determined that a substantial portion of
the fees would not be refunded. Accordingly, in 1990 and 1991, the Company
recognized $135,000 and $168,000, respectively, as a gain. Since 1991, the
Company has maintained an amount of $40,000 as a liability for refunds. The
Company believes such amount is a reasonable estimate of the potential refunds
to charter members. During the year ended December 31, 1996, approximately
$15,000 of the charter membership initiation fees were refunded, and were
charged to operations.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company generally files a consolidated Federal income tax return
with its parent corporation. The filing date for its Federal income tax return
for the year ended December 31, 1996 has been extended, and accordingly, the
income tax return has not yet been filed.
Because both the Company and its parent company incurred losses in
1996, and because of the accumulated unused tax losses of the parent company,
no provision for income taxes has been made. The Company's 1996 loss of
$57,000 would indicate a tax asset of approximately $19,000; however, the
deferred tax asset would be offset by a valuation account of a like amount,
because the benefit is more likely than not to be lost as a result of the
consolidated losses incurred.
NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK
At December 31, 1996, there were 3,000,000 shares of common stock
outstanding, all of which were owned by Technology Holdings, a subsidiary of
Channel America Broadcasting, Inc. (formerly EVRO Financial Corp.). The
outstanding common shares have been pledged as collateral to a note payable.
<PAGE> 13
NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY
The Company's parent entity provides certain management services to
the Company. During 1996 the Company was charged $47,500 for the management
services rendered, which amount management asserts is reasonable.
NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As indicated in Note 1, the Company entered into a transaction in
which all of its outstanding common stock was acquired by Advantage. Advantage
paid to Technology Holdings, (1) 6,000,000 shares of the common stock of
Advantage; (2) a promissory note of $750,000; and, (3) assumed $658,000 of
liabilities of the seller.
Advantage is a publicly registered Company, and reportedly conducted
operations in the distribution of certain over the counter health care products
and certain environmental areas. These operations were terminated in 1996. By
written actions of the boards of directors of the Company, Advantage, and
Technology Holdings, the amount of $724,422 at December 31, 1996, due to the
Company by Technology Holdings will be offset against the aforementioned
promissory note of $750,000 between Advantage and Technology Holdings. Because
Technology Holdings, and subsequently Advantage, is the parent corporation of
the Company, the amount of $724,422 would be eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements of the combined entities. Recoverability of the $724,422
is dependent upon Advantage achieving profitable operations and/or Advantage's
success in raising capital funds sufficient to support operations and funding
requirements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - GENERAL
The financial statements of Treasure Rockhound Ranches, Inc., a Texas
corporation ("Treasure Rockhound") as of December 31, 1996 and for the twelve
months then ended are unaudited and, in the opinion of Treasure Rockhound,
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such data.
Treasure Rockhound was incorporated in the state of Texas in 1975, and is
currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technology Holdings, Inc., a Florida
corporation ("Technology Holdings"). In 1990, Technology Holdings' parent,
Channel America Broadcasting, Inc., fka EVRO Corporation, a Florida corporation
("Channel America"), purchased 100% of the stock of Treasure Rockhound. In
1995, Channel America transferred the ownership of the stock of Treasure
Rockhound to Technology Holdings. Treasure Rockhound, operates 7 recreational
vehicle parks in four southwestern states. Its private membership organization,

5,300 dues-paying members, daily or long-term leases on improved campsites at
its various locations. Treasure Rockhound owns 5,100 acres and leases 7,300
acres from individuals, states and the federal government.
Treasure Rockhound caters to a growing trend in the hospitality field, namely
remote, independent excursions into naturally pristine areas of the country.
Parks are located in valleys, on mountains or near natural shorelines and offer
RV travelers a different climate and culture in which to enjoy their leisure
time.
The demographics of the RV vacationer are clearly defined, and their growth has
shown steady, although not dramatic increases. Members of the Camper Ranch Club
have year-round access to all of the fully managed Treasure Rockhound sites
which provide electric and water hookups for their convenience and the
opportunity to explore the natural beauty surrounding all ranch locations.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

31.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is recorded at acquisition
cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the

repairs, which neither add materially to the value of the property nor
appreciably prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Treasure Rockhound recognizes revenues from dues,
rentals and memberships during the period of service. Revenues from long-term
leases are amortized over the length of the lease.
INCOME TAX - Since 1990, Channel America has consolidated the operations of

purposes. Therefore, no tax has been calculated and reported on the
accompanying statements, nor have corporate tax returns been filed by Treasure
Rockhound as a stand alone entity,
NOTE C - COMMON STOCK

stock with no par value, of which 3,000,000 shares were issued and outstanding

ADVANTAGE LIFE PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - GENERAL
The financial statements of Advantage Life Products, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Advantage Life" or the "Company") as of February 28, 1997 and for
the ten months then ended are unaudited and, in the opinion of Advantage Life,
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such data and have
been prepared on a basis consistent with the April 30, 1996 Audited Financial
Statements. All such adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. The
Company's significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the
April 30, 1996 Audited Financial Statements and there have been no material
changes in significant accounting policies from those described therein.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advantage Life
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Treasure Rockhound Ranches, Inc., a Texas
corporation ("Treasure Rockhound"). Advantage Life has one wholly-owned,
inactive subsidiary, Environmental Professionals, Inc., a Florida corporation
("Environmental Professionals"), whose operations were discontinued in May,
1996.
In 1993, Advantage Life acquired the assets of Lasting Cosmetics, Inc.
("Lasting Cosmetics"), a privately owned, New York based cosmetics marketing
company. In 1994, Lasting Cosmetics entered into a marketing and distribution
agreement with Guthy-Renker Corporation for the distribution of a certain
product via infomercials. Due to difficulties with the airing of the
infomercials, Advantage Life attempted to sell the product to salons via direct
marketing methods in early 1995. When direct marketing failed, the Company
discontinued this operation and is currently in the process of winding up the
affairs of Lasting Cosmetics.
In mid-1995, Advantage Life entered into an agreement and plan of merger under
which Environmental Professionals, a New Jersey based environmental services
firm would merge with Advantage Acquisition, Inc., a newly formed acquisition
subsidiary of Advantage Life. The surviving entity would be Environmental
Professionals. Environmental Professionals provided various environmental
remediation services to industrial clients, major oil companies and
environmental consultants. In May 1996, as the result of the insolvency of a
major customer, and Environmental Professionals' inability to obtain other
sources of funding, Environmental Professionals was unable to meet its current
obligations and ceased operations. Environmental Professionals had pledged
vehicles on loans to a bank, and in addition, had pledged all other assets,
including its accounts receivable and tangible and intangible assets on a line
of credit to the same bank. The bank filed an action and took possession of the
assets of Environmental Professionals, and a Statutory Receiver was appointed
in August of 1996. In light of the fact that Advantage Life does not have
control of Environmental Professionals, and due to the fact that it is a
non-operating subsidiary, management has decided to deconsolidate Environmental
Professionals.
In September 1996, Advantage Life acquired all of the assets of Universal Mica
Furniture, Inc. ("Universal Mica"), a retail home furniture store in
Farmingdale, New York. Advantage Life paid $2,000,000 to Universal Mica by
issuing 480,000 shares of its common stock and its promissory note in the
original principal amount of $800,000 (the "Universal Mica Note"). In January
1997, this acquisition was
3
<PAGE> 21
rescinded, and the common stock of Advantage Life and the Universal Mica Note
were returned to Advantage Life.
On February 21, 1997, Advantage Life and its newly formed acquisition
subsidiary, Advantage Life Acquisition One, Inc. ("Advantage Life
Acquisition"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Agreement") by and among Advantage Life and its subsidiary, Advantage Life
Acquisition and Channel America Broadcasting, Inc., a Florida corporation
("Channel America") and its subsidiary, Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Technology
Holdings"), Vietri Investments, Ltd., a foreign corporation ("Vietri"), Roscom,
Ltd., a foreign corporation ("Roscom"), Alan Lipstein, an individual
("Lipstein") and Gerald Norton, an individual ("Norton") and acquired 100% of
the issued and outstanding stock of Technology Holdings' subsidiary, Treasure
Rockhound, for 6,000,000 shares of Advantage Life's restricted common stock, a
note payable to Technology Holdings for $750,000 and Advantage Life assumed
certain liabilities of Technology Holdings totaling approximately $658,000.
Advantage Life assumed the debts, liabilities and obligations of Treasure
Rockhound set forth on the balance sheet of Treasure Rockhound contained in the
Reorganization Agreement in the same manner as if Advantage Life had itself
incurred them. In conjunction with this Agreement, Vietri, Roscom, Lipstein and
Norton returned to Advantage Life a total of 6,700,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, in return for forgiveness of all indebtedness owed to Advantage
Life by Vietri, Roscom and Norton, and all but $600,000 of indebtedness owed to
Advantage Life by Lipstein. Also in conjunction with this Agreement, Advantage
Life agreed to sell Lipstein or his assigns a total of 5,000,000 shares of
Advantage Life's Series A Preferred Stock for $1.00 per share.
The primary business of Treasure Rockhound is owning and operating recreational
resorts and recreational vehicle ("RV") campgrounds located across the United
States. Treasure Rockhound, in business since 1974, operates through its
private membership organization, Camper Ranch Club of America ("Camper Ranch
Club"), offering its members five recreational resorts located in Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas. Treasure Rockhound owns approximately 5,100 acres and leases
approximately 7,300 other acres from individuals, states and the federal
government. Camper Ranch Club has a total membership of over 8,500 with 5,300
active dues-paying members.
The executive officers of Advantage Life, after the effective date of the
Reorganization Agreement, are: Richard J. Diamond, President and Chief
Executive Officer and Donald R. Mastropietro, Vice President of Finance, Chief
Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTING FOR THE ACQUISITION OF TREASURE ROCKHOUND RANCHES, INC.
On February 21, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
stock of Treasure Rockhound. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition
of Treasure Rockhound was accounted for as a reverse purchase acquisition under
which the companies are recapitalized to include the historical financial
information of Treasure Rockhound and the assets and liabilities of Advantage
Life revalued to reflect the market value of Advantage Life's outstanding
shares. As closing occurred in the middle of a month on February 21, 1997, the
transaction has been recorded as of February 28, 1997. The only operating
revenues that Advantage Life currently receives are those generated by Treasure
Rockhound.
