NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information in response to the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of August 31, 2005; results of operations for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2005 and 2004; cash flows for the six months ended August 31, 2005 and 2004; and changes in stockholders' equity for the six months ended August 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2005. The consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2005 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

2. Business Activities of the Company

Through August 26, 2004, the Company operated in two distinct industries consisting of real estate and medical financing. The medical financing business was conducted through Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which (i) purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (ii) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. On February 4, 2004, the Company decided to restructure the medical financing segment. The plan of restructuring called for (i) the purchase of insurance claims receivables from medical practices to be discontinued, (ii) the sale of the assets of the three subsidiaries that were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices, and (iii) focus the operations of the medical segment on collections and other services. On August 26, 2004, the Company sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business in exchange for preferential collection rates on the receivables that are expected to be collected. As a result of the restructuring on February 4, 2004, and the sale of its continuing service obligations on August 26, 2004, the medical financing segment has been reclassified as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

The real estate business is conducted by the Company through various subsidiaries. It holds a mortgage on two real estate parcels and owns real estate in Hunter, New York, which is currently held for development or sale. The Company also owns a 49% interest in a limited liability company that owns and operates an office building in East Granby, Connecticut.

In addition to the two operating divisions of the Company, a division, Capco, was formed during 2000. Capco, which had never conducted the business for which it was formed, was discontinued on February 4, 2004.

Hunter, New York

Real Estate Operator - On September 23, 2004, the Company sold the 10 acres of land for the hotel site that was in the beginning stages of development. The gross sales price was $1,250,000, which was comprised of a down-payment of $350,000 and a $900,000, non-interest bearing, balloon mortgage note that matures on November 10, 2005. The Company is using an imputed interest rate of 5% on the note. Due to a title issue on a 1.6 acre parcel contiguous to the hotel site, that parcel could not be conveyed at the time of closing. If the Company cannot freely convey the 1.6 acres by June 1, 2006, the mortgage note on the hotel site will be reduced by $125,000. The Company has taken a valuation allowance on the note receivable for the full amount and has reduced the gross sales price of the hotel site by $125,000 as a reserve against the possible reduction in the mortgage note. Co-investors in the Hunter properties, as settlement in full for all claims against the Company, have agreed to accept an assignment of $352,500 from the proceeds of this mortgage.

Clubhouse - On May 17, 2005, Yolo Equities Corp. completed the sale of the Clubhouse in Hunter, New York for $320,000 payable by a second mortgage on the real estate, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, commencing on September 1, 2005. Since the buyer's initial and continuing investments are inadequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the installment method is used, resulting in the deferral of income. The deferred gain on the sale of this property is approximately $20,000.

Granby, Connecticut (Related Party)

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

On May 19, 2005, the Company exchanged its $946,732 second mortgage on the office building in East Granby, Connecticut owned by Gateway Granby, LLC ("Gateway") for a $1,000,000 equity investment in Gateway, constituting 49% of the equity ownership of Gateway. The Company sold the office building to Gateway in 1996 for $4,800,000, of which $3,853,268 has been paid and $946,732 is the purchase money second mortgage maturing on March 8, 2017.

Due to Co-investors

The Company previously had an agreement with co-investors in which the net proceeds of any sales of the Hunter, New York property would have been allocated 65% to the Company and 35% to co-investors, after deducting the cost of carrying all of the Hunter properties. On August 30, 2005, the Company settled a lawsuit and all claims by the co-investors. The terms of the settlement call for a payment in full of $352,500 in November 2005. As guaranty for this payment, the Company has assigned a portion of the proceeds from a mortgage receivable that is due in November 2005. The settlement resulted in a gain of $83,274 for the three months ended August 31, 2005 and $61,230 for six months ended August 31, 2005.

On October 6, 2005, the Company settled an amount that was due to a co-investor on property that was previously sold. The settlement resulted in a gain of $35,811 for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005.

Amounts payable to co-investors on property that has not yet been sold are included in real estate held for development or sale, as reductions to the asset. Amounts payable to co-investors on property that has previously been sold, and is subject to the final collection of the related real estate assets (mortgage or real property exchanged from a mortgage), are recorded as liabilities.

Other Real Estate Revenue, Costs and Expenses

The Company's real estate assets currently include property held for development or sale in Hunter, New York, and two mortgages and notes receivable on property previously sold. Upon liquidation in full of the Company's 49% ownership interest of Gateway Granby, LLC, co-investors will share in the positive cash flow from the proceeds of this investment, after deducting all related costs and expenses from the inception to liquidation of this investment. The Company settled amounts due to certain co-investors during the current quarter, and reevaluated balances owed to the all co-investors in the current and prior quarters as a result of current development and sales at the Hunter property and the change in the carrying value of its investment in Gateway Granby, LLC. Accordingly, amounts payable to all co-investors were adjusted. Gains from any adjustments were included in other real estate revenue, and losses resulting from any adjustments were included in costs and expenses from real estate

Bank Loan - Construction: In October 2002, the Company obtained a $290,000 construction loan to be used for development at its Hunter, New York property. This loan was paid in full on June 25, 2004 when a portion of the property was sold. The terms of the loan called for monthly payments of interest through June 1, 2003, at which time it converted into a term loan with monthly payments of principal and interest that would amortize the loan in 15 years.

6. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists entirely of various state and local franchise taxes.

The Company has net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for Federal purposes of approximately $7,456,000 as of February 28, 2005, the close of its last fiscal tax year. The Company's taxable loss for the six months ended August 31, 2005 is approximately $765,000. These losses will be available for future years, expiring through February 28, 2025. The Company has taken a 97% valuation allowance against Federal NOL carryforwards due to a prior history of operating tax losses and the uncertainty of generating enough taxable income throughout the carryforward period to utilize the full amount available. The Company's ability to utilize these NOL carryforwards would be subject to annual limitations in the event of a change in ownership, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company becomes a party to other various legal claims, actions and complaints. The Company's management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

8. Shareholders' Equity

Earnings per Share

Earnings (loss) per common share for each of the periods presented is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The effect of outstanding stock options on earnings per share does not have a material effect in calculation of earnings per share during any of the periods presented.

Equity Transactions

Stock Dividend

On July 21, 2005, the Board of Directors of MFC declared a stock split in the form of a 35% stock dividend on the shares of its common stock outstanding on August 8, 2005, the record date for shareholders who will be entitled to receive thirty five one hundredths (.35) of a share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, for each one (1) share of common stock owned of record on the close of business on August 8, 2005. This action is contemplated by the proposed acquisition agreement with WWE. Fractional shares were not be issued and were settled for cash. The capital stock accounts, all share data and earnings per share data give effect to the stock split, applied retroactively, to all periods presented.

Sale of Treasury Stock

On July 7, 2005, in a private sale, the Company sold all 33,678 shares of its treasury stock to the chief financial officer of the Company, who is also a director. The sale resulted in a loss of $15,445, which was charged to additional paid-in capital. The selling price was $.75 per share, which was at the current market price. The number of shares and price per share data give effect to the August 8, 2005 stock split, applied retroactively, to all periods presented.

Issuance of Common Stock

On July 25, 2005, the Company sold 270,000 unregistered shares of its common stock $.001 par value to directors' designees for $.74 per share, which represents 100% of a private offering. These designees included (i) 135,000 shares to a related party of the chairman of the board, who is also president and a shareholder, (ii) 33,750 shares to the chief financial offer, who is also a director and a shareholder, and (iii) a total of 101,250 shares to two other directors, who are also both shareholders. The proceeds were used for working capital of the Company. There were no expenses in connection with this private offering. The number of shares and price per share data give effect to the August 8, 2005 stock split, applied retroactively, to all periods presented.

9. Discontinued Operations

On February 4, 2004, the Company instituted a plan to restructure the medical financing segment. The plan of restructuring called for the Company to sell the assets of the three subsidiaries that were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. On August 26, 2004 the Company sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business in exchange for preferential collection rates on the receivables that are expected to be collected. As part of the terms of the sale, the Company will retain half of the interest paid by insurance companies on late payments from improperly denied receivables. The Company expects that the interest income it receives will be great enough to cover the additional costs that will be due when the existing receivables are collected. The Company still expects to incur certain additional costs related to its discontinued operation, until all of the receivables are collected. The medical financing business was conducted through Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which (i) purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (ii) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. Accordingly, the operating results of the medical financing segment for the three months and six moths ended August 31, 2005 and 2004 has been presented as "(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes". Net assets and liabilities to be disposed of or liquidated, at their book value, have been separately classified in the accompanying balance sheets at August 31, 2005 and February 28, 2005.

Finance and Management Fee Receivables

The Company purchased the net collectible value of medical insurance claims on a limited recourse basis. Net collectible value is the amount that the insurance companies will pay based on established fee schedules used by insurance companies. The net collectible value is often less than the face value of the claim due to the difference in billing rates between the established fee schedules and what the medical practice ordinarily would bill for a particular procedure. The Company is only responsible to collect the fee scheduled amount. If any amounts are collected in excess of the purchased amount and the Company's fee, that amount will be applied to the client's Funding Balance. Finance receivables are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, reduced by any charge-off or valuation allowance and net of unearned revenues. The recourse basis is limited to the extent any receivables purchased by the Company are disputed. Such receivables are deemed to be invalid and were substituted or repaid at the end of the contractual period. The Company was still entitled to the collection of its fees from customers regardless of whether or not the underlying accounts receivable were collectible. Performance of these receivables are personally guaranteed by the owner of the practice and/or the principals of the related management companies.

The Company purchases the receivables and has the right to return the "invalid receivables." By contractual definition, these are receivables that have not been recovered from insurance companies because of denials, requests for additional information not readily available, or a matter under investigation within 180 days of the purchase date. In addition to the right to return the invalid receivables to the Seller, the Company has the right to offset any of its obligations to the Seller by any invalid receivables.

The Company may incur a finance receivable bad debt loss when the portion of a medical claim collected does not exceed the advance (including the fee charged) given to the client. The increase in bad debt expense that occurred during the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005, and the years ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004 was based on an increase in adverse arbitration decisions from the hearings that were decided during those periods. An increase in the amount of closed arbitration cases has provided management with a larger base of information to better estimate the reserve for bad debts. Management's decision to increase the bad debt reserve was based on the overall decrease in the collections rate from the arbitrations that have been closed during the last two fiscal years. Management believes that it will be increasingly more difficult to collect on outstanding receivables, and has initiated an additional program that it believes could increase the collections rate. Management had also taken other measures to reduce its bad debts, such as eliminating poorly collecting clients and reducing the upfront advance percentage that it paid when receivables were purchased. Management continues to monitor the results of these efforts as to the effect on collection rates, and whether the reserve for bad debts is adequate based on actual collections. In addition, the Company has incurred actual bad debt losses when it determined that it was more cost effective to agree on a settlement for less than the full value of the receivables than to incur the additional collection costs.

From the date the Company purchased insurance claims receivable from medical practices and the advance payment was made to the client, the Company had 180 days to collect or determine that the bills were invalid as contractually defined. If the Company collected the advance payment and fee, all additional amounts, if any, that were collected were given to the client. While by contract, the Company considers these receivables invalid, in reality, for reasons outside of the Company's control, such as the customer being able to provide additional information to overturn a denial, the receivables will get paid and are then not uncollectible. The collections from these written-off receivables are the same collections that may be used as an offset to other obligations that the Company may have with the client. Recoveries from these written-off receivables are paid to the customer or used as an offset, when necessary. As of August 31, 2005, there were approximately $919,000 of receivables that were outside of the contractual collection period, written-off, but are still collectible and historically, collected in significant amounts and were used to offset other obligations from the client to the Company, including management fee receivables.

The write-offs and recoveries are a balance sheet item only, and do not affect the income statement. The income statement would only be affected if any part of the advance payment or fee was not collected in the 180 day period. For that situation, a reserve has been established. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the customer's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions.

Net finance receivable and management fees receivable consist of the following:

August 31,   February 28,
2005   2005
(Unaudited)    
 Gross finance receivables   $          1,302,747    $          1,408,781
 Allowance for credit losses                (628,096)                 (624,889)
 Deferred finance income                  (57,226)                   (57,226)
                617,425                   726,666
 Due to finance customers                (353,548)                 (360,620)
 Net finance receivables   $             263,877    $             366,046
     
 Gross management fee receivables   $          2,326,853    $          2,490,283
 Allowance for billing adjustments & bad debts             (1,921,531)              (1,683,534)
 Net management fee receivables   $             405,322    $             806,749

Due to finance customers represents the amount of the unpaid receivables less the advance payment and fee that the Company charges. The Company is liable for this amount only if (i) it is collected or (ii) an insurance carrier suffers a financial inability to pay.

If the assets of the management client, which is also a finance client, are not enough to satisfy the billed fees, an allowance for billing adjustments is recorded to reduce the Company's net receivables to an amount that is equal to the assets of the client that are available for payment.

These receivables are collateral for Series A bonds.

10. Proposed Transaction

On July 29, 2005 MFC Development Corp. ("MFC" or the "Registrant") entered into an agreement with Worldwide Excellence, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with an address at 11872 La Grange Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025 ("WWE") for the acquisition of 100% of WWE's outstanding capital stock in exchange for shares of common stock of MFC, after which the former shareholders of WWE will own more than 61% of MFC common stock before any conversion of outstanding securities.  In connection with that acquisition, WWE will seek to raise in excess of $2,250,000 (amended to $1,500,000 on October 6, 2005) of convertible securities in a private placement.  There are no material relationships between WWE and the Registrant or any of the Registrant's affiliates.           

Worldwide Excellence and its related affiliates (WWE), is a leading direct marketing company specializing in health, beauty, fitness and home consumer products.  WWE is in the business of building product "Brands" and has found a successful formula that combines creativity and strategic analysis.  Typically, WWE obtains the exclusive worldwide license rights to a particular product and develops the product "Brand" through innovative marketing campaigns utilizing the internet, television, and print media.  WWE distinguishes itself from other direct marketing companies in that it has found success in the development of products that creates a long term annuity through what WWE refers to as "Continuity" programs. 

There is no assurance that MFC will successfully complete the acquisition or that WWE will complete the private placement or, upon the completion of such transactions, that the Registrant will be successful.

On August 3, 2005 and October 12, 2005, the Company filed a form 8-K in connection with this proposed acquisition.

 


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including but not limited to, statements regarding future operations, financial condition and liquidity, expenditures to develop real estate owned by the Company, future borrowing, capital requirements, and the Company's future development plans, are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: changes affecting the business of the Company's medical service organization and medical provider clients, a legislative change in insurance regulations affecting the future collections of medical receivables, changes in the real estate and financial markets, adverse arbitration or court decisions on collectibility of purchased receivables, environmental action by governments affecting development of real estate, and other risk factors described herein and in the Company's reports filed and to be filed from time to time with the Commission. The discussion and analysis below is based on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005 and 2004. The following should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of results of operations and financial condition included in Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2005.

Overview

Through August 26, 2004, the Company operated in two distinct industries consisting of real estate and medical financing. The medical financing business was conducted through Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which (i) purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (ii) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. On February 4, 2004, the Company decided to restructure the medical financing segment. The plan of restructuring called for (i) the purchase of insurance claims receivables from medical practices to be discontinued, (ii) the sale of the assets of the three subsidiaries that were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices, and (iii) focus the operations of the medical segment on collections and other services. On August 26, 2004 the Company sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business. As a result of the restructuring on February 4, 2004, and the sale of its continuing service obligations on August 26, 2004, the medical financing segment has been reclassified as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

The real estate segment consists of a parcel of real estate in Hunter, New York, held for future development or sale, and of mortgage notes receivable on properties that were previously sold. The Company also owns a 49% interest in a limited liability company that owns and operates an office building in East Granby, Connecticut. The properties, mortgage notes receivable and investment in Gateway Granby are subject to the interests of co-investors. Revenues in the real estate division vary substantially from period to period depending on when a particular transaction closes and depending on whether the closed transaction is recognized for accounting purposes as a sale, or is reflected as a financing, or is deferred to a future period.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and areas that require the most significant judgments and estimates to be used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset, and revenue recognition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Mortgage and note receivable: The Company evaluates the credit positions on its notes receivable and the value of the related collateral on an ongoing basis. The Company estimates that all of its notes receivable are fully collectible and the value of the collateral is in excess of the related receivables. The Company continually evaluates its notes receivable that are past due as to the collectibility of principal and interest. The Company considers the financial condition of the debtor, the outlook of the debtor's industry, decrease in the ratio of collateral values to loans, and any prior write-downs on loans. The above considerations are all used in determining whether the Company should suspend recording interest income on any notes receivable or provide for any loss reserves.

Finance receivables (discontinued assets): Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the customer's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, the outlook of the debtor's industry, and current economic conditions. When the Company estimates that it may be probable that a specific customer account may be uncollectible, that balance is included in the reserve calculation. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

Deferred tax assets: The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period in which such determination was made. A reduction in the valuation allowance and corresponding credit to income may be required if the likelihood of realizing existing deferred tax assets were to increase.

Revenue Recognition

Real Estate: The full accrual method is used on the sale of real estate if the profit is determinable, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit, and there is no continuing involvement with the property. If the buyer's initial and continuing investments are inadequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the installment method is used, resulting in the deferral of income. If there is continuing involvement with the property by the Company, the financing method is used.

Purchase and Collection of Medical Insurance Claims Receivables (discontinued operations): A fee was charged to medical providers upon the purchase of their accounts receivable by the Company. The fee was for the up-front payment that the Company paid upon purchase of the receivables and for collection services rendered to collect the receivables. This fee income was deferred and recognized over the contractual collection period in proportion to the costs of collection. The deferred fee income is netted against finance receivables. The Company is not entitled to interest on unpaid principal balances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2005 Period Compared to the 2004 Period

The following table summarizes the Company's changes in revenue from continuing operations (in thousands) for the periods indicated:

 Three months ended     Six months ended 
August 31,   August 31,
        Change           Change
2005   2004   $    %    2005   2004   $    % 
Revenues:                                  
  Sale of real estate  $         -    $    502    $  (502)          $          -    $     502    $    (502)      
  Other real estate        119               -          119                 119               -           119      
  Rental income activities          15            26          (11)                   40             52            (12)      
  Interest from mortgages          10            17            (7)                   34             33               1      
  Total revenue  $    144    $    545    $  (401)        (74)  %     $     193    $     587    $    (394)        (67)  % 

The Company's revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended August 31, 2005 ("2005") were $144,000, a decrease of $401,000 or 74% as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2004 ("2004"). The Company's revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended August 31, 2005 ("2005") were $193,000, a decrease of $394,000 or 67% as compared to the six months ended August 31, 2004 ("2004"). The decrease in revenues for both the three month and six month periods ended in 2005 was primarily attributable to the Company completing the renovation and sale of the final two units that it owned at its Hunter, NY property during the quarter ended August 31, 2004. The decrease in rental income activities for both the three month and six month periods ended in 2005 was a result of the lost revenues from the Company's subsidiary, Highlands Pollution Control Corp. ("HPCC"), which was sold on May 10, 2005.

The  increase in other real estate revenue $119,000 for both the three month and six month periods ended in 2005 was due to gains as a  result of adjustments owed to co-investors as described in the following two items:

1. The Company previously had an agreement with co-investors in which, the net proceeds of any sales of the Hunter, New York property would have been allocated 65% to the Company and 35% to co-investors, after deducting the cost of carrying all of the Hunter properties. On August 30, 2005, the Company settled a lawsuit and all claims by the co-investors. The terms of the settlement call for a payment in full of $352,500 in November 2005. As guaranty for this payment, the Company has assigned a portion of the proceeds from a mortgage receivable that is due in November 2005. The settlement resulted in additional revenue of $83,000 for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005.

2. On October 6, 2005, the Company settled an amount that was due to a co-investor on property that was previously sold. The settlement resulted in a gain of $36,000 for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005.

On May 19, 2005, the Company exchanged its $946,732 second mortgage on the office building in East Granby, Connecticut owned by Gateway Granby, LLC ("Gateway") for a $1,000,000 equity investment in Gateway, constituting 49% of the equity ownership of Gateway. The decrease in rental income activities from the sale of HPCC was offset by the additional income from the Company's 49% ownership of Granby. The additional income from Granby for three months and six months ended in 2005 was $31,000 and $38,000.

Interest from mortgages decreased by $7,000 during the three month period ended in 2005 and increased by $1,000 during the six month period ended in 2005. The net changes were due to the following two items:

1. As a result of the exchange of the mortgage on the Granby property on May 19, 2005, as described above, there was a reduction in interest from mortgages of $17,000 and $19,000 for the three months and six months ended in 2005.

2. During the quarter ended November 30, 2004, the Company sold the 10 acres of land for the hotel site that was in the beginning stages of development. The net sales price was $1,081,000 (gross sales price of $1,250,000, less an allowance of  $125,000 and deferred interest of $44,000). The decreases described in item No. 1 above were offset by the mortgage on the property that was sold.

The following table summarizes the Company's changes in costs and expenses from continuing operations (in thousands) for the periods indicated:

 Three months ended     Six months ended 
August 31,   August 31,
        Change           Change
2005   2004   $    %    2005   2004   $    % 
Costs and expenses:                                  
  Real estate  $      87    $    634    $  (547)        (86)  %     $     173    $     696    $    (523)        (75)  % 
  Corporate expenses          55          112          (57)        (51)  %            151           213            (62)        (29)  % 
  Depreciation and amortization             -              1            (1)      (100)  %                1               2              (1)        (50)  % 
  Total costs and expenses  $    142    $    747    $  (605)        (81)  %     $     325    $     911    $    (586)        (64)  % 

Costs and expenses from continuing operations decreased by $605,000, to $142,000 in the three month period and decreased by $586,000, to $325,000, in the six month period. The decrease in both periods was due to decreases in real estate expenses, corporate expenses, and depreciation and amortization. The decrease in real estate expenses of $547,000 in the three month period and $523,000 in the six month period was primarily attributable to no cost of sales in 2005, as a result of no property being sold during those periods, compared to the $507,000 cost of the properties that were sold during both periods ended in 2004.

The $57,000 and $62,000 decreases in Corporate expenses for the three month and six month periods ended in 2005 were due to (i) an increase in accounting fees, and (ii) a change in the allocation of a portion of executive salaries from corporate expenses to the real estate division.

The gain on sale of subsidiary for the six month period ended in 2005 was a result of the Company's sale in May 2005 of all the outstanding shares of its subsidiary, Highlands Pollution Control Corp., for $75,000. The subsidiary was carried at a negative basis, with the sale resulting in a gain of $93,000.

Net interest expense for the three months ended in 2005 was $21,000, compared to $22,000 in 2004. Net interest expense for the six months ended in 2005 was $42,000, compared to $44,000 in 2004. Interest expense arises from the Company's obligations under its outstanding Series A and Series B bonds. While the proceeds of these bonds were used to finance the discontinued medical financing segment, the Company as guarantor remains obligated as to their repayment. As such, interest expense on these notes are classified as continuing operations.

Through February 28, 2005, the end of the last fiscal year, the Company had accumulated net operating losses ("NOLs") of $7,396,000.  The Company's taxable loss for the six months ended August 31, 2005 is approximately $765,000. These losses are available to be carried forward through February 28, 2025. The Company did not generate any taxable income since February 28, 2003, and estimated that it would not derive any additional minimum future tax savings in addition to the $90,000 that was estimated in 2003. The Company has taken a 97% valuation allowance of $2,705,000 against the deferred tax asset of $2,795,000 that these NOLs would generate. In addition, the Company has also taken a 100% valuation allowance of $478,000 against other timing differences.

The Company's revenues from discontinued operations for the three months ended in 2005 were $19,000, a decrease of $21,000 as compared to the three months ended in 2004. The Company's revenues from discontinued operations for the six months ended in 2005 were $37,000, a decrease of $152,000 as compared to the six months ended in 2004. The decreases in both periods were due to the elimination of revenues as part of the Company's decision on February 4, 2004 to restructure the medical financing segment.

Costs and expenses from discontinued operations decreased by $635,000, to $178,000 in the three month period and decreased by $835,000, to $532,000 in the six month period. The decrease in both periods was due to decreases in medical receivable expenses, medical management service expenses, bad debts, loss on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in impairment loss in the six month period, only. The net decrease in medical receivable expenses of $124,000 in the three month period and $316,000 in the six month period is due to a reduction in employment costs of $102,000 and $253,000, respectively, along with other expenses in both periods due to the decrease in services provided as a result of the of the Company's decision on February 4, 2004 to restructure the medical financing segment. For the same reason, medical management service expenses decreased by $63,000 and $133,000 in both the three month and six month periods.

The Company increased its bad debt reserves by $219,000 during the six months ended August 31, 2005. The Company may incur a medical receivable bad debt loss when the portion of a medical claim collected does not exceed the advance (including the fee charged) given to the client. The Company may incur a medical management bad debt loss when the assets of the management client, which is also a finance client, are potentially insufficient to satisfy all of the billed fees from prior periods. Since the management clients are also finance clients, the bad debt reserve is a result of the overall decrease in the collections rate from the arbitrations that have been closed during the current period. The Company increased the bad debt reserves because it believes receivables available to pay management fees will be lower based on the information that had become and is currently becoming available. The final bad debt expense will ultimately be determined after all receivables are litigated.

The increase in bad debt expense was based on an increase in adverse arbitration decisions from the hearings that were decided during the current period, compared to prior periods. As arbitration cases are closed, management adjusts the estimate for the reserve for bad debts. Current case closings are used as a basis for the reserve, but this amount can change in future periods as more cases are closed. Management believes that it will continue to be difficult to collect on outstanding receivables. The results of a program that management believes could increase the collections rate, and that has been initiated over the last several quarters, is not yet complete. Management will monitor the results of its efforts as to the effect on collection rates, and whether the reserve for bad debts is adequate based on actual collections.

The impairment loss of $63,000 in 2004 is a result of management's estimate as of May 31, 2004, as to the excess of the carrying value of the net assets of the medical management service subsidiaries over the estimated proceeds from their ultimate sale.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $33,000 and $84,000 in both periods ended in 2005 was a result of the disposal of the assets of the two MRI facilities that the Company closed in fiscal 2005 and a reduction in the book value of assets as a result of the impairment loss taken through of February 28, 2005. 

The loss on disposal of assets of $218,000 in the three months ended August 31, 2004 was a result of (i) the loss of $8,000 from the final disposition and sale of one MRI facility and (ii) the $210,000 loss incurred as a result of the decision in August 2004 to abandon the remaining MRI facility, rather than continuing to pay the carrying costs of the closed operation and trying to sell the assets before the lease expired on February 28, 2005.

For the reasons described above, most notably the decrease in losses from discontinued operations and the increase in other real estate income, the Company recorded a net loss of $179,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2005, a decrease of $822,000 from the net loss of $1,001,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2004. For the same reasons, the Company recorded a net loss of $576,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2005, a decrease of $980,000 from the net loss of $1,556,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's two business activities during the six months ended August 31, 2005 resulted in a decrease of cash in the amount of $18,000. Through August 26, 2004, the Company operated in two distinct industries consisting of real estate and medical financing. The medical financing business was conducted through (i) Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (ii) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. On February 4, 2004, the Company decided to restructure the medical financing segment. The plan of restructuring called for (i) the purchase of insurance claims receivables from medical practices to be discontinued, (ii) the sale of the assets of the three subsidiaries that were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices, and (iii) the focus of the operations of the medical segment on collections and other services. On August 26, 2004, the Company sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business. As a result of the restructuring on February 4, 2004, and the sale of its continuing service obligations on August 26, 2004, the medical financing segment has been reclassified as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated. The funds for its needs are expected to be provided from existing cash and proceeds from the collection of outstanding receivables. If those sources are insufficient, additional funds may be provided from asset-based borrowing facilities, refinancing of assets under capital leases, issuance of common stock, and the sale of real estate assets.

The real estate division is not expected to be a significant user of cash flow from operations due to the elimination of carrying and development costs on the real estate that was sold during prior periods. The Company's real estate assets in Hunter, New York, are owned free and clear of mortgages. On September 23, 2004, the Company sold the 10 acres of land for the hotel site that was in the beginning stages of development. The gross sales price was $1,250,000, which was comprised of a down-payment of $350,000 and a $900,000, non-interest bearing, balloon mortgage note that matures on November 10, 2005. The Company is using an imputed interest rate of 5% on the note. Due to a title issue on a 1.6 acre parcel contiguous to the hotel site, that parcel could not be conveyed at the time of closing. If the Company cannot freely convey the 1.6 acres by June 1, 2006, the mortgage note on the hotel site will be reduced by $125,000. The Company reduced the gross sales price of the hotel site by $125,000 as a reserve against the possible reduction in the mortgage note.  On May 17, 2005, Yolo Equities Corp. completed the sale of the Clubhouse in Hunter, New York for $320,000 payable by a second mortgage on the real estate, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, commencing on September 1, 2005. Further development of the Hunter property, at any significant cost, is expected to be funded by existing cash, issuance of common stock, the proceeds from mortgage note on the hotel site and clubhouse, issuance of Series B Bonds, other asset-based financing, and the sale of the remaining property in Hunter.

The Company previously had an agreement with co-investors in which the net proceeds of any sales of the Hunter, New York property would have been allocated 65% to the Company and 35% to co-investors, after deducting the cost of carrying all of the Hunter properties. On August 30, 2005, the Company settled a lawsuit and all claims by the co-investors. The terms of the settlement call for a payment in full of $352,500 in November 2005. As guaranty for this payment, the Company has assigned a portion of the proceeds from a mortgage receivable that is due in November 2005.

The Company believes that its present cash resources, the cash available from financing activities, and issuance of additional common stock will be sufficient on a short-term basis and over the next 12 months to fund its existing real estate business and discontinued operations, its company-wide working capital needs, and its expected investments in property and equipment. The Company expects that the collection of its existing receivables from discontinued operations will enable funds to be provided internally and from its financing activities.

The Company's significant sources of financing have been from Series A and Series B bonds and construction loan financing. Both Series A and Series B bonds are issued for 18-month terms and may be redeemed with 60 days written notice in maximum increments of $50,000. Due to this redemption option, these bonds have been classified as current debt. As provided for in the debt instruments of the Series A and B bonds, the Company has extended maturity dates as evidenced by formal commitments. The Company may also refinance amounts that may be requested by bondholders for early redemptions through the issuance of new bonds. The Company repaid the outstanding balance of its construction loan from the proceeds of the sales of the townhouses that secured the loan.

Cash used by operations in 2005 was $340,000, as compared to $233,000 being provided in 2004. The $573,000 net increase in the use of cash by operations in 2005 was due to (i) a $360,000 decrease in collections from the sale of real estate, (ii) a decrease in net assets of discontinued operations of $244,000 in 2005, compared to a decrease of $729,000 in 2004, primarily caused by the reduction of outstanding receivables, due to the discontinuation of the medical division, and (iii) fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities increased the use of cash by $182,000, primarily due to a reduction of liabilities. The increases in cash used by operations were offset by a decrease in net loss, after adjustments for non-cash items of (i) depreciation, (ii) real estate gains and losses, (iii) deferred interest income, (iv) adjustment of amounts due to co-investors, (v) provision for bad debts, (vi) impairment losses, and (vii) loss from disposal of assets, the net of these items totaling $386,000. In addition there was also a reduction of $68,000 in addition to real estate held for development or sale from the prior year.

Cash provided by investing activities was $98,000 in 2005 as compared with $8,000 being used in 2004. The increase in cash provided by investing activities in 2005 was due to (i) distributions from unconsolidated subsidiary of $23,000, and (ii) proceeds of $75,000 from the sale of the Company's subsidiary, Highlands Pollution Control Corp. The Company had no capital expenditures in 2005, compared to $8,000 in 2004.

Net cash provided and used by financing activities was $224,000 in 2005 as compared with $-0- in 2004. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in 2005 was due to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and sale of treasury stock, totaling $224,000. Other financing activities in both periods were limited to refinancing of series A and B bonds that were not renewed upon maturity or were called for early redemption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in reported market risks faced by the Company since February 28, 2005.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

During the 90-day period prior to the date of this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Subsequent to the date of this evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, and no corrective actions taken with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such controls.

On July 25, 2005, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that:

(1) The Company's Board of Directors authorized management to enter into an agreement with Worldwide Excellence, Inc. ("WWE") a direct marketing company that had previously expressed interest to be acquired by the Company.

(2) The Company's Board of Directors declared a stock split in the form of a 35% stock dividend on the shares of its common stock outstanding on August 8, 2005, the record date for shareholders who would be entitled to receive thirty five one hundredths (.35) of a share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, for each one (1) share of common stock owned of record on the close of business on August 8, 2005.

(3) The proposed acquisition agreement with WWE provides that at the Closing Date, the Company shall issue 600,000 shares of its common stock to a representative of the holders of the Company's common stock at the close of business on August 8, 2005, pursuant to an Escrow Agreement whereby such shares will be released from escrow on or after April 1, 2007 in the event WWE meets a net income target for the period beginning on the first day of the calendar month after the Closing of the WWE acquisition and ending on December 31, 2006.  The Escrow Agreement provides that said shares shall first be available under the indemnification made by the Company in the proposed acquisition agreement and then distributed pro-rata to those persons who were the holders of the Company's common stock at the close of business on August 8, 2005.  This potential distribution to the Company's shareholders is contingent on the completion of the WWE acquisition and the terms of the Escrow Agreement contemplated thereunder.
