OVERVIEW During the second quarter of 2002, in spite of an unusually high amount of rainfall in our Florida markets, we posted a 4% increase in net sales over the second quarter of 2001. In addition, we increased our gross margins up to 26% from 20% over the second quarter of 2001, resulting in a 137% increase of net income. We continue to shift our business away from the high volume and low margin work (primarily in Florida), which characterized our company in prior years. As a result of our expansion into new markets around the country over the last two years, and our shift towards remodeling work, we are making a deliberate transition into higher priced and more profitable business. The second quarter also marked the beginning of the roll out of our exclusive installation program with Home Depot in Florida and Eastern Massachusetts. We are pleased with the initial success in new sales volume, and expect this program to continue to expand and have a positive impact on sales during the second half of this year. Lastly, at the beginning of the second quarter, we closed on our first round of equity financing and set the stage for additional funding for our expansion. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets as of June 30, 2002 were $6,110,787, a decrease of $829,603, or 12%, from total assets of $6,940,390 at December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in accounts receivable of $1,253,572, which reflects a normal seasonal decline in volume from the fourth quarter of the prior year. This reduction was offset by an increase in costs in excess of billings of $342,825, which reflects an increase in uncompleted jobs in progress, caused by the heavy rainfall in June 2002. Current liabilities decreased by $829,384, or 12%, from $6,785,668 at December 31, 2001 to $5,956,284 at June 30, 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $939,492. Stockholders' equity increased from $14,368 at December 31, 2001 to $26,133 at June 30, 2002, an increase of $11,765, or 82%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in paid in capital of $439,262, offset by a year-to-date net operating loss of $477,535. 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales increased by $324,581, or 3.8%, and $735,877, or 4.9%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to the expansion into new markets in 2001. Cost of goods sold decreased $227,890, or 3.4%, and $300,149 or 2.4%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases reflect efficiencies gained in labor and material costs over the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $971,793, or 56.0%, and $1,127,824 or 36.3%, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases are primarily attributable to the expansion into new markets in the prior year. We generated a net profit of $20,248 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $55,224 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in net profit of $75,472, or 137%, was largely a result of the increases in gross margins described above along with a net gain on stock issuances and settlements of certain consulting contracts. We incurred a net loss of $477,535 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $371,940 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net loss of $105,595 or 28% occurred primarily in the first quarter of 2002 and was the result of expansion in the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, operating activities consumed $1,141,350 of cash as compared to $140,951 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash consumed was partially due to our national expansion in the last half of 2001. In addition, cash inflows decreased over 2001 in our southernmost Florida operation as a result of new construction declines caused by full saturation of the new construction market. The primary sources of funding came from an equity financing with a private investor totaling $1,000,000 in gross proceeds, along with an increase in our line of credit of $250,000, bringing the total credit facility up to $2,500,000. We continue to monitor our cash situation and may continue to pursue additional equity funding as appropriate. 9 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Not applicable. PART II: OTHER INFORMATION. ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company knows of no material legal proceedings at this time.

On April 12, 2002, the ------------------------------------------ Company conducted a private placement of equity securities. Under the terms of the subscription agreement, the Company received consideration equivalent to $1,000,000, in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value, and a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value. The shares of common stock were issued on April 18, 2002. The warrant is exercisable beginning six months and ending thirty months after April 17, 2002, at a price equal to a 30% discount to the average closing bid price of the common stock of the Company as trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board market, for a period of 10 days prior to exercise, not to exceed $1.00. The 10 Company believes that the sale of the Common Stock was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement for the shares issued and underlying the warrant to be effective on or before December 31, 2002. The Company has used the proceeds to reduce debt and to fund working capital needs and expansion. The Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement on October 11, 2001, a copy of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Report on Form 8-K on October 17, 2001. The acquisition closed on December 17, 2001, as reported on a Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 4, 2002. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company acquired five corporations, which became operating subsidiaries of the Company, in exchange for a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value, to be issued to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The financial statements for this report have assumed the issuance of such shares for the purpose of determining earnings per share and other equity-related calculations. The number of shares had been placed in reserve pending actions by the board of directors to authorize the transfer of shares. On April 25, 2002, at the direction of the board of directors, the Company issued 17,360,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, of which 16,040,000 shares were issued to Maurice Sigouin, the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and 1,320,000 shares were issued to Jace Simmons, the Executive Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and a Director of the Company.
