Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited) A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (1) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lifestyle Innovations, Inc. ("LFSI") and its wholly owned subsidiaries LST, Inc. d/b/a Lifestyle Technologies ("LST") and Brittany Enterprises, Inc. ("Brittany") (collectively the "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Effective July 15, 2002 Princeton Mining Company changed its name to Lifestyle Innovations, Inc. At December 31, 2002 the Company has a significant working capital deficit, due primarily to $1,407,927 due to RCG and its subsidiaries, $1,595,320 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable in the amount of $1,381,782 which are due in August 2003 and $209,919 in notes payable due on demand. The Company does not currently have sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations currently due within the next 12 months. The Company is currently exploring additional sources of liquidity, including debt and equity financing alternatives and potential sales of its Common Stock in private placement transactions. Additionally, the Company plans on negotiating with its debt holders to extend some or all of the debt due in August 2003. If the Company is (i) unable to grow its business or improve its operating cash flows as expected, (ii) unsuccessful in extending a substantial portion of the debt repayments scheduled for August 2003, or (iii) unable to raise additional funds through private placement sales of our Common Stock, then the Company will need to secure alternative debt or equity financing to provide it with additional working capital. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders. If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company, these failures would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the Company's shareholders would be diluted. (2) Organization - LFSI was organized in September 1950, under the laws of the State of Idaho. On September 5, 2002, LFSI acquired LST, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lifestyle Technologies Franchising Corp., Lifestyle Security, Inc. and Lifestyle 8 Technologies Atlanta, all organized in July 2001. LFSI issued 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to eResource Capital Group, Inc. ("RCG"), to acquire 100% interest in LST. At December 31, 2002 LFSI was a 78% subsidiary of RCG. LFSI had only nominal operations prior to the merger, leasing two condominium units, accordingly for accounting purposes the transaction has been treated as the issuance of stock by LST for the net monetary assets of LFSI, accompanied by a recapitalization of LST. The accounting treatment is identical to accounting for a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible asset is recorded. The historical financial statements prior to September 5, 2002 are those of LST. On April 24, 2001, LFSI acquired Brittany, a Nevada corporation organized on October 29, 1998. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as the acquisition of Brittany by LFSI with Brittany as the purchaser (reverse acquisition). Brittany did not have operations until March 30, 2001, when it acquired two condominium units that it is leasing. Princeton Mining Company, an Idaho corporation, merged into its wholly owned subsidiary, Princeton Mining Company, a Nevada corporation on May 6, 2002. Princeton Mining Company, a Nevada corporation, was the survivor. (3) Nature of Business - LST is a full service home technology integration company providing builders, homeowners, and commercial customers with complete installation and equipment for structured wiring, security, personal computer networking, audio, video, home theater, central vacuum and accent lighting. LST has also secured relationships with product manufacturers, distributors and service providers (cable, Internet service, broadband and security). The Company launched a national franchising program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and, in fiscal 2002, sold 14 franchises. LST also owns and operates locations in the Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA markets. Brittany is the owner of two condominium units that are located in Dallas, Texas which are currently under lease. (4) General - The financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in LST's Annual Report for the period ended June 30, 2002, which is included in the Company's Form 8-K/A filed on November 18, 2002. 9 B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company classifies as cash equivalents any investments which can be readily converted to cash and have an original maturity of less than three months. At times cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash equivalents in major financial institutions. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: o Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash approximates its fair value o Accounts receivable and accounts payable: Due to their short term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. The Company provides for any losses through its allowance for doubtful accounts. o Notes Payable: The carrying amount of the Company's notes payable approximate their fair value. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, investments, and notes payable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Although due dates of receivables vary based on contract terms, credit losses have been within management's estimates in determining the level of allowance for doubtful accounts. Overall financial strategies are reviewed periodically. Inventories Inventories, which consist of purchased components, are recorded at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. 10 Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses include insurance and deferred costs. The deferred costs relate to a consulting agreement that required RCG to issue shares and warrants to the consultant. The original deferred cost of $57,000 is being amortized over the life of the service agreement. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five to seven years for all categories except for computer software, with is depreciated over 3 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or loss being recorded as other income or expenses. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records goodwill and intangible assets arising from business combinations in accordance with FAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141") which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. FAS 141 also specifies the criteria applicable to intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with FAS 142. The Company adopted FAS 142 effective July 1, 2001. In completing the adoption of FAS 142, LST allocated its previously existing goodwill as of July 1, 2001 to its reporting units, as defined in FAS 142, and performed an initial test for impairment as of that date. In accordance with FAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested at least annually for impairment. FAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and be reviewed for impairment. Stock Options and Warrants The Company accounts for stock option grants to employees in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued To Employees" and options and warrants issued to non-employees under FAS No. 123, "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation". For the options and warrants issued to non-employees, the fair value of each award has been calculated using the Black-Scholes Model in accordance with FAS No. 123. 11 Revenue Recognition The Company's home technology services work is completed in three phases - pre-wiring, trim-out and hardware installation. The Company invoices its customers and records revenue as work is completed on each project. For alarm monitoring service contracts sold by the Company, revenue is recognized only when the contracts are sold to third party finance companies or as billed if the Company holds and services the contract. The Company sells substantially all of its alarm monitoring contracts immediately subsequent to the date the contracts are signed by the customer. Sales of franchise licenses are recognized as revenue when the Company's obligations under the franchise agreement are "substantially complete." The Company generally defines "substantially complete" as the completion of training by the franchisee's General Manager and the approval by the Company of the franchise location plan. Royalties are based on a percentage of the sales recorded by franchisees and are recorded as earned. Procurement fees charged to franchisees are recorded in the month that the related product is shipped to the franchisee. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are generally charged to operations in the period incurred and totaled $20,103 and $24,082 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and $11,238 and $13,894 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Marketing Fund The Company's franchise agreement requires franchisees to pay 1.25% of their sales into a general marketing fund to be used to promote the Lifestyle name and home technology concept on a national basis. The Company records these receipts into the marketing fund liability, classified in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, which the Company administers. The marketing fund is managed by a committee consisting of management of the Company and representatives from certain franchises. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of the asset/liability method. Deferred taxes represent the expected future tax consequences when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. They arise from differences between the 12 financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax laws and tax rates when those changes are enacted. The provision for income taxes represents the total of income taxes paid or payable for the current year, plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Management of the Company elected to provide a reserve against the potential future income tax benefits from its current net operating loss, due to the uncertainty of its realization. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. B. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS In September 2001, the Company sold its branch locations in Greenville/Columbia, SC, Raleigh, NC and Hilton Head, SC to entities that are now operating these locations as franchises. These branches, which had a net equity deficit of $36,700, were sold for net proceeds of $134,900 resulting in a net gain of $ 171,600. On July 10, 2001, the Company acquired certain net assets and the business of a home technology company in Atlanta, GA, now operated as Lifestyle Technologies Atlanta, Inc. ("LSTA") for $1,255,000 which was paid in cash ($275,000), RCG Common Stock (139,365 shares) and a four - year term note ($250,000). Including direct acquisition costs, the total purchase price aggregated $1,259,857 and the transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets on the acquisition date aggregated $1,207,669 which was allocated to goodwill. C. INVESTMENTS The Company's investments are comprised of a certificate of deposit, including accrued interest, which is pledged as collateral on a trade credit agreement with a vendor. 13 D.

(1) At the option of the note holder, this note can be converted into RCG's Common Stock at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for each $4.55 of outstanding principal and interest. (2) The principal and accrued interest on these notes payable are convertible to shares of RCG Common Stock at the greater of $1.12 per share or a 20% discount to the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten days immediately preceding the conversion date. 14 F. INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes at December 31, 2002 consist primarily of net operating loss carryforwards, which amount to approximately $5,612,000 and expire between 2020 and 2023. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of the deferred tax assets. Further, due to substantial limitations placed on the utilization of net operating losses following a change in control, utilization of such NOL's could be limited. G. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS As discussed above, on September 5, 2002 RCG completed a transaction with LFSI to sell 100% of the common stock of LST in exchange for 16 million shares of LFSI stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding option or warrant issued to LST employees in connection with RCG's acquisition of LST will either be converted with the appropriate adjustment into an option or warrant to purchase LFSI common stock or will be terminated pursuant to their terms. If options or warrants are terminated pursuant to the terms of outstanding warrants or stock options agreements, or RCG's stock option plan, LFSI will grant warrants or options to holders of these securities. Newly granted options or warrants will be proportionate to the terminated amount and will have an exercise price equal to the market price of LFSI stock. During the period ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded $14,250 in non-cash expense related to common stock and stock purchase warrants that were granted to a consultant engaged to assist the Company in developing and implementing its national franchising program. The fair value of these warrants, $57,000, as determined in accordance with FAS 123 has been recorded on the Company's financial statements and is being amortized to expense over the service period of the related agreement. At December 31, 2002 the unamortized balance in prepaid expenses was $16,625. H. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES At December 31, 2002, notes and advances due to affiliates consisted of the following: DUE TO RELATED PARTIES Due to RCG and its subsidiaries .......... $1,407,927 ========== Note payable to Michael Pruitt, CEO of RCG 10,658 Advance payable to Mr. Pruitt ............ 25,587 ---------- $ 36,245 ========== The amount due to RCG and its subsidiaries represents net advances to and from RCG and its subsidiaries. RCG also provides various services to the Company, including accounting and finance assistance, capital and debt raising, human 15 resources and other general and administrative services. For the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, RCG charged the Company $60,000 and $97,000, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, RCG charges the Company $30,000 and $50,000, respectively. The note payable to Mr. Pruitt, CEO of RCG, indicated in the above table bears interest at 12% per annum and is due on demand. The advance payable to Mr. Pruitt bears interest at a variable rate, which approximates the rate of interest earned on the Company's certificate of deposit investment, and is due on demand. Mr. Pruitt has pledged certain of his personal assets to secure a $100,000 bank credit facility for LST's home technology business. At September 30, 2002, the balance outstanding on this bank facility was $100,000. Mr. Pruitt is also a minority investor in a company that has purchased franchise licenses and business operations of LST's home technology business in three markets in South Carolina and in another company that has purchased franchise licenses in three locations in Maryland. The franchise locations in South Carolina owed the Company and its subsidiaries $139,000 at December 31, 2002 and the franchise locations in Maryland owed the Company and its subsidiaries $12,000 at December 31, 2002. Paul B. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is an investor in a company, which in November 2001 became a franchisee of the Company's home technology business in the Dallas, Texas market. The Dallas franchise location owed the Company and its subsidiaries $98,000 at December 31, 2002. During fiscal 2002, Glenn Barrett resigned as President of Lifestyle and began LVA Technologies LLC ("LVA"), a low voltage wiring business that operates as a Lifestyle franchisee headquartered in Charlotte, NC to service the commercial market. The Company waived LVA's initial franchise fee for the commercial franchise. LVA also owns the Greenville and Columbia, SC franchises. LVA's low voltage wiring business pays royalties on products purchased from the Company at the same rate as the Company's other franchisees, however, it does not pay royalties on revenue generated from products purchased elsewhere as required of the Company's other franchisees, including the Greenville and Columbia, SC franchises. LVA and its subsidiaries owed the Company and its subsidiaries $265,000 at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002, total debt outstanding to G. David Gordon and a company in which he is the president and a shareholder, was $431,782 which is reflected in notes payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The loans, which arose during fiscal 2002, bear interest at 8% to12%. Mr. Gordon and this company also loaned RCG an additional $1,144,000 during fiscal 2002 at interest rates of 8% to 12%.

CONTINGENCIES As a part of the issue of 16,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to RCG, LFSI was obligated to file a registration statement within 90 days of the September 5, 2002 closing date of the transaction. If LFSI did not meet this deadline, it was obligated to issue an option to RCG for 1,000,000 shares of LFSI common stock at 20% of the last bid price for the LFSI common stock on the triggering date. As a result of the potential acquisition of FutureSmart Systems, Inc. ("FutureSmart") by LFSI (See Note K), RCG and LFSI have agreed to extend the deadline for filing the registration statement until May 31, 2003 or a later date consistent with any registration rights associated with the potential acquisition of FutureSmart. 17 K. LETTER OF INTENT On November 27, 2002 LFSI executed a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire FutureSmart Systems, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation. The LOI was amended on January 15, 2003, primarily to extend the Closing Date to February 15, 2003. FutureSmart is a manufacturer of structured wiring and home networking systems. FutureSmart develops and distributes home technology products designed to meet the current and future needs of homeowners for computer networking, audio/video distribution and home automation. Their products include: distribution panels, computer networking components, security systems, telephone distribution systems, and wiring for home technologies. One condition to the closing requires LFSI to obtain working capital for FutureSmart. LFSI is currently attempting to obtain such financing, however, there can be no assurance sufficient financing will be arranged or the acquisition will be consummated. 18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relative to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this section or elsewhere in this report are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in the economy or in specific customer industry sectors; changes in customer procurement policies and practices; changes in product manufacturer sales policies and practices; the availability of product and labor; changes in operating expenses; the effect of price increases or decreases; the variability and timing of business opportunities including acquisitions, alliances, customer agreements and supplier authorizations; the Company's ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and other business strategies; the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities in connection with acquisitions; changes in accounting policies and practices; the effect of organizational changes within the Company; the emergence of new competitors, including firms with greater financial resources than the Company; adverse state and federal regulation and legislation; and the occurrence of extraordinary events, including natural events and acts of God, fires, floods and accidents. On September 5, 2002, LFSI acquired LST, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lifestyle Technologies Franchising Corp., Lifestyle Security, Inc. and Lifestyle Technologies Atlanta. LFSI issued 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to eResource Capital Group, Inc. ("RCG"), to acquire 100% interest in LST. At December 31, 2002 LFSI was a 78% subsidiary of RCG. LFSI had only nominal operations prior to the merger, leasing two condominium units, accordingly for accounting purposes the transaction has been treated as the issuance of stock by LST for the net monetary assets of LFSI, accompanied by a recapitalization of LST. The accounting treatment is identical to accounting for a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible asset is recorded. The historical financial statements prior to September 5, 2002 are those of LST. On April 24, 2001, LFSI had a change in control and acquired a new subsidiary, Brittany Enterprises, Inc. LFSI issued 18,000,000 shares (subsequently reverse-split to 2,571,429 shares) of its $.10 par value common stock to acquire Brittany. Brittany owns two condominium units in Dallas, Texas, which are currently under lease. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 2002 LFSI had a working capital deficit of $3,645,936 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,885,664 at June 30, 2002, an increase of $1,760,272. The largest component of the increase resulted from a transfer of $1,381,782 in notes payable, which are due in August 2003, to current from non-current. In addition, accounts payable and accrued expenses have increased $535,080 and the net payable to RCG and subsidiaries of $1,476,453 at June 30, 2002 had been reduced to $1,407,927 at December 31, 2002. 19 During the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold 398,400 shares of its common stock and increased capital, net of transaction costs by $871,420. Of this amount, $261,000 was sold prior to the merger on September 5, 2002 and $610,420, including converting $198,000 in notes payable, was sold after the merger. At December 31, 2002 the Company has a significant working capital deficit, due primarily to $1,407,927 due to RCG and its subsidiaries, $1,595,320 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable in the amount of $1,381,782 which are due in August 2003 and $209,919 in notes payable due on demand. The Company does not currently have sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations currently due within the next 12 months. The Company is currently exploring additional sources of liquidity, including debt and equity financing alternatives and potential sales of its Common Stock in private placement transactions. Additionally, the Company plans on negotiating with its debt holders to extend some or all of the debt due in August 2003. If the Company is (i) unable to grow its business or improve its operating cash flows as expected, (ii) unsuccessful in extending a substantial portion of the debt repayments scheduled for August 2003, or (iii) unable to raise additional funds through private placement sales of our Common Stock, then the Company will need to secure alternative debt or equity financing to provide it with additional working capital. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders. If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company, these failures would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the Company's shareholders would be diluted. SALES AND REVENUES During the six months ended December 31, 2002, sales declined $645,205 (36.9%) from the year earlier amount. During the year earlier period, $1,403,917 of the sales were from LST's company owned locations in Charlotte, NC, Greenville, NC, Hilton Head, SC and Raleigh, NC. During the current year period, sales include $840,867 from LST's company owned locations. The decline in company owned locations revenue is principally the result of the sale in September 2001 of the locations in Greenville, NC, Hilton Head, SC and Raleigh, NC. The franchising revenue is solely from franchise fees, royalties and procurement fees charged to franchises, which did not commence until the second quarter of last fiscal year. Franchise revenues amounted to $256,922 in the current year period as compared to $342,423 in the year earlier period. Of these amounts, $40,000 and $280,000 represent sales of franchises and $216,922 and $62,423 represent revenues from royalties and procurement fees, respectively. The revenues from the sale of franchises has declined substantially from the initial sales, however, the majority of the decline has been offset by increased recurring revenues from royalties and procurement fees. 20 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses have increased $226,381 and $192,091 during the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year earlier periods. The majority of the increase was a result of the costs associated with becoming a separate reporting entity with the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the six month period ended December 31, 2002 the Company incurred new costs of $140,342 for corporate overhead, which includes $51,500 in payroll costs, $60,558 in professional fees and $23,581 in travel costs. During the current year period, SG&A for the franchising group was $455,293 as compared to $503,118 during the prior year period. SG&A for company owned stores was $748,892 as compared to $568,027 during the prior year period. The Company is continuing to attempt to reduce its overhead costs while still emphasizing growing the franchise portion of the business. GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF FIXED ASSETS In September 2001, the Company sold its branch locations in Greenville/Columbia, SC, Raleigh, NC and Hilton Head, SC to entities that are now operating these locations as franchises. These branches, which had a net equity deficit of $36,700, were sold for net proceeds of $134,900 resulting in a net gain of $171,600. DEBT FORGIVENESS In August 2001, affiliates of LST forgave indebtedness in the amount of $24,351. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased from $68,445 in the prior year period to $95,396 during the six months ended December 31, 2002. The increase is due to the higher average level of debt outstanding during the current year period as compared to the prior year period. The majority of the Company's current debt was obtained in August 2001 and accordingly would have been outstanding only approximately 75% of the prior year period. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company has established and currently maintains controls and other procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
