Temporary Financial Services, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on October 11, 2000. We formed the company to finance accounts receivable for temporary labor businesses, invest in temporary labor businesses, and provide services to temporary labor businesses. We obtained funding for our accounts receivable financing and related ventures through two private placement offerings and an initial public offering. We closed the initial public offering in April, 2002. Aggregate equity capital from the two private offerings and the public offering amounted to $2,250,049. Following completion of our funding efforts, we actively sought new accounts receivable financing opportunities in the temporary labor business. This business, however, did not grow as quickly as we anticipated and since mid 2002, we have redirected our business focus to other areas not related to temporary labor. As of December 31, 2003, we have loans outstanding to two temporary labor businesses totaling $339,621. This amounts to 17% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2003. During 2002, we sold off our interests in two temporary labor offices, and at December 31, 2002 and 2003, we no longer owned interests in any temporary labor offices. We originally invested a total of $12,000 in Temps Unlimited of Minnesota, LLC doing business as Staffing on Demand, and $11,250 in Temps Unlimited of Nebraska, LLC doing business as ValuStaff in 2001. In each instance, we received an 18% equity stake in the business. During 2002, we determined that the organization of Staffing on Demand and ValuStaff as member managed limited liability companies created a larger than expected risk to the Company since control of the businesses did not rest with a single individual or entity and operational issues were not being adequately addressed. After unsuccessfully working to resolve the control issue, we elected to sell the interests to an affiliated newly formed LLC controlled by two officer/directors of the company. The sales of our interests in Staffing on Demand and ValuStaff were discussed and approved by the shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting held on August 1, 2002, and were approved by the Board of Directors following the shareholders meeting. In addition to the sale of our interests in the two temporary labor businesses, we also reduced the level of loans to temporary labor businesses. During 2002, we found that some of our borrowers and prospective borrowers could obtain funding at lower rates from more traditional lenders. We were not willing to lend to these borrowers and prospective borrowers at lower rates. Faced with the decision of reducing rates or losing business, we elected to maintain our rates and accept the consequence that we would lose business as a result. At the beginning of 2002, we had five temporary labor business borrowers. At the end of 2002, we were only financing accounts receivable for two temporary labor businesses, and one of these terminated its borrowing relationship in February, 2003. At this time, we provide accounts receivable financing to only one temporary staffing firm and are no longer actively seeking new temporary business borrowers. 10-KSB Page 2 In January, 2002, we invested in Genesis Financial, Inc., a company that buys and sells seller financed real estate receivables contracts. After holding the real estate receivables for a short time to provide some loan seasoning, Genesis sells the contracts at a premium over its cost. Genesis generates revenue from interest on the real estate receivable contracts while they are being held for seasoning, and from the premium received when the real estate receivable contracts are sold. TFS invested $400,350 and 50,000 shares of TFS Common Stock in exchange for 1,000,000 shares Genesis common stock constituting approximately 45% of the total shares currently outstanding. TFS also provides a secured warehousing line of credit with a $2,000,000 credit limit to Genesis for the acquisition of real estate contract receivables. In November, 2003, TFS distributed 737,280 shares of its Genesis common stock as a dividend to our shareholders on the basis of one share of Genesis for each one share of TFS owned. This dividend had the effect of taking Genesis public. With the change in business focus away from temporary labor accounts receivable financing, we continue to devote substantial energy and capital to the seller financed real estate contract receivable business. At December 31, 2003, we had loans outstanding to Genesis Financial, Inc. of $1,704,985 for financing inventory purchases of seller financed real estate contracts, and we have also started acquiring interests in seller financed real estate receivable contracts for our own account. We also continue to review other business opportunities as they are presented to us for evaluation. During 2004, we will continue to focus on growing the value of our interest in Genesis Financial, Inc., and we will actively seek other business opportunities in the coming year. COMPETITION. We believe that the businesses of lending and investing are highly fragmented with large national and international players, many small regional or local companies, and many companies and individuals focused on particular niche markets. Many of these other lenders provide potential competition for our loans to Genesis, and we expect that Genesis will eventually obtain a line of credit with a more traditional bank or financial institution. At this time, our primary lending activities are directed toward the business of Genesis Financial, Inc. We provide Genesis with a $2,000,000 secured line of credit that allows Genesis to acquire seller financed real estate receivable contracts. Given our capital structure, we are not in a position to solicit other borrowers in this field. Our affiliation with Genesis and the existing line of credit agreement presently provide us with a captive market for our lending activities. Our primary competition for our Genesis loan comes from other traditional lenders, and individual investors. We are working with Genesis to transition our line of credit to a new bank line of credit or other form of financing. At this time, we are moving to diversify our asset base by acquiring interests in seller financed real estate contracts brokered through Genesis. If Genesis is able to replace our line of credit with other financing arrangements, we will accelerate our acquisition of additional seller financed real estate contracts and will continue to seek other business opportunities. 10-KSB Page 3 RELIANCE ON A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS. Our lending business is now limited to only two customers (three at December 31, 2002), and we are focusing our available capital and our business development efforts on growing the business of Genesis Fiancial, Inc., a company in which we hold a 9.1% equity stake. Our reliance on Genesis for the majority of our lending business increases the risk of our loan portfolio. Should the business of Genesis suffer a downturn, their ability to repay amounts borrowed from us could be impacted. We have a first position security interest in all assets of Genesis, and we believe that the real property assets underlying the real estate contracts are more than adequate to protect our interests. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. Our lending business is not presently subject us to any significant governmental regulations. We do not make direct real estate loans and are not subject to consumer protection statutes relating to real estate loans, nor are we a bank or financial institution. To the best of our knowledge, we are in compliance with all applicable tax and securities rules and regulations that apply to our business as presently conducted. EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has one full time employee and one part time employee. REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS. The Company is currently obligated to file periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company files quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and annual reports on Form 10-KSB. The Company is currently a Small Business Issuer under applicable SEC regulations. Copies of all materials that we file with the SEC may be inspected and read without charge at the Public Reference Room of the SEC, 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20549. Interested persons may obtain information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Copies of this material may be obtained at prescribed rates from the Public Reference Section of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC. 20549. The Securities and Exchange Commission also maintains a Web site (http://www.sec.gov) through which the information we file with the SEC can be retrieved. We anticipate that we will hold an annual shareholders meeting sometime in May or June, 2004. In connection with the annual meeting, the Company will provide at its cost, a copy of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, including audited financial statements, and a Proxy Statement addressing matters to be voted on at the annual shareholders meeting. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. FACILITIES. Effective June 1, 2001, we entered into a three year lease for 1,425 square feet of office space in a professional office building in Spokane, Washington. As presently staffed, we have more space than we need. In October, 2003, we entered into discussions with Genesis Finance, Inc., an affiliated company, about connecting our adjoining offices and reallocating some of TFS space to Genesis. This was done in early 2004 and Genesis has agreed to pay all of the lease costs on the combined space provided we continue to share other 10-KSB Page 4 office expenses. Our lease will expire on May 31, 2004, at which time Genesis will either renew the lease in its name or continue to pay on a month to month basis. INVESTMENT POLICIES. We may invest in seller financed real estate contracts receivable from time to time. The real estate contracts that we will purchase are in the sub-prime market, and may be secured by single family residences, multi-family residences, mobile homes, commercial property, and/or land. We do not intend to limit our purchases of contracts to contracts with particular types of underlying real estate security. We will look at each individual contract as a unique investment opportunity. The contracts or interests in contracts that we purchase will generally offer a return of 10% or more and will be secured by real properties. We will evaluate the adequacy of the underlying real property that serves as collateral for our investment on a case by case basis, but we will target an investment to value ratio below .75 to 1. Contracts that we purchase will typically be held for more than one year. We may purchase longer term contracts (three to five year terms) with the intent to hold until maturity. We may also acquire long term contract obligations with the intent to hold for a period and then resell our interests in the secondary market. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. A lawsuit was filed in the fourth quarter 2002 by Labor Ready under the following caption: Labor Ready, Inc., Labor Ready Northwest, Inc., Labor Ready Midwest, Inc, and Labor Ready Southwest, Inc., (collectively "Labor ready") as plaintiffs, vs. Glenn Welstad, Welstad Family LLC, TEMPORARY FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., TEMPS UNLIMITED, INC., TEMPS UNLIMITED OF MINNESOTA LLC, Temps Unlimited of Nebraska LLC, Anytime Labor LLC, Everyday Staffing LLC, and Temp Services of Arkansas LLC, as defendants. The suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington in and for Pierce County, Cause Number 02-2-12031-3, alleging that the defendants are collectively engaged in a conspiracy to illegally compete against Labor Ready. In February, 2004, the parties successfully mediated the dispute and all claims and counterclaims were settled. TFS will contribute $33,334 to a settlement fund to obtain dismissal of the action and the settlement paperwork is expected to be filed with the court in April, 2004. Upon filing, this matter will be resolved. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. It is anticipated that the Company will hold its annual shareholder meeting sometime in May or June, 2004. 10-KSB Page 5 FORM 10-KSB PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. The Company closed its initial public offering in April, 2002. Since closing the public offering, the Company's securities have traded in the over-the-counter market operated by NASDAQ (OTCBB) under the symbol TPFS. The following table sets out the range of high and low bid prices for the common stock for the periods presented. Bid Information Quarter Ended High Low ------------- ---- --- June 30, 2002 $7.00 $6.00 September 30, 2002 $6.10 $5.00 December 31, 2002 $5.00 $3.50 March 31, 2003 $4.05 $3.85 June 30, 2003 $4.00 $3.50 September 30, 2003 $5.00 $3.50 December 31, 2003 $5.80 $4.50 The above quotations are from the over-the-counter market and reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions. At December 31, 2003, the Company had eighty-two shareholders of record of its common stock, and the Company estimates that it has approximately ninety-five total shareholders, including beneficial owners. The Company has paid no cash dividends on its common stock and it does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the near future. In November, 2003, the Company paid a dividend through distribution of 737,280 shares of Genesis Financial, Inc. common stock valued at $1.00 per share. We did not sell any additional shares in 2003. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The Company was organized in October, 2000, and began operations in the second quarter of 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. As of December 31, 2003, we had loans outstanding of $2,044,606, with two businesses. The following table provides borrower information, affiliate status and outstanding balances as of December 31, 2003. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temporary Staffing Businesses Business Name Affiliate Status Loan Balance ------------- ---------------- ------------ Everyday Staffing Independent $ 339,621 Seller Financed Real Estate Receivables Businesses Genesis - Contract's Financed Affiliated (9.1%) 1,704,985 --------- Total loans outstanding $2,044,606 ========== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10-KSB Page 6 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002. REVENUES. In the year ending December 31, 2003, the Company generated aggregate revenues of $440,961 compared to $340,011 in the year earlier period. The increase in revenues is attributable to the $127,042 gain on dividend distribution that occurred in November, 2003. Overall, the company is limited in the amount of revenue that it is able to generate due to our limited capital base. In 2003, we saw a higher percentage of revenue derived from investment income as opposed to accounts receivable loan fee income due to the refocusing of the business on lending to Genesis Financial, Inc. and the falloff of loans to temporary staffing businesses. The average rate of return on investments is less than the average rate of return on accounts receivable financing due to lower risk. In the year ended December 31, 2003, we generated $22,500 in accounting fee income compared to $35,000 in 2002. The decrease in accounting fee income in 2003 resulted from our conscious choice to focus on focus on real estate contract financing and the corresponding falloff in the number of temporary staffing business borrowers and loss of their accounting service business. We expect that our investment income in 2004 will continue to increase. We also expect that our income from accounts receivable financing will increase due to increased borrowings from our sole remaining accounts receivable borrower. As noted under Liquidity, below, our ability to increase revenues from lending activities and investment activities will be limited by the amount of capital available. We will need to increase our capital base in 2004 to meet expected levels of operations. OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses totaled $403,438 in 2003 compared with $369,189 in 2002. The increase relates to increased interest expense, $89,932 in 2003 compared to $41,790 in 2002, due to increased borrowings. Legal costs also increased, $77,840 in 2003 compared to $69,405 in 2002, due to added costs of defense of the Labor Ready litigation. Compensation costs decreased in 2003, $123,092 in 2003 compared to $167,754 in 2002, as we restructured our personnel costs to better match our current business model. Our investment activities are less labor intensive than accounts receivable financing and this allowed us to eliminate some personnel costs. GAIN FROM OPERATIONS. We generated a gain from operations of $37,523 in 2003, compared to loss from operations of $29,178 in 2002. The gain in 2003 is a direct result of the gain generated from the dividend distribution in November, 2003. This was a one time distribution and is not a recurring source of revenue. OTHER EXPENSE. EQUITY IN LOSSES OF AFFILIATES. We currently own approximately 9.1% of Genesis Financial, Inc. Prior to November, 2003, we owned 45% of Genesis, but in November, we distributed 737,280 of our shares to our shareholders in a dividend distribution. We account for our investment under the equity method of accounting and report our pro rata share of Genesis' net income or loss in the period in which the income or loss is reported by Genesis. For the year ended 10-KSB Page 7 December 31, 2003, Genesis generated gross revenues of operating revenues of $454,058. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $578,080 producing a net loss of $124,022 for the year. As a result of the dividend distribution, and the flow through losses from Genesis recorded in 2003, our equity basis in the Genesis investment has been reduced to zero and we have deferred $20,484 in additional losses that exceed our basis in the investment. At December 31, 2003, we hold 145,720 shares of Genesis common stock with a zero basis. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At December 31, 2003, we have loans to temporary labor businesses outstanding in the amount of $339,621 and a secured warehousing line of credit commitment to Genesis in the amount of $2,000,000, with an outstanding balance of $1,704,985. We expect the amount of funds loaned to temporary labor businesses to increase in 2004, and the amount of funds loaned to Genesis to increase in 2004. The Genesis secured warehousing line of credit bears interest at 8% and the line expires December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $64,098 and the balance available on our line of credit with an officer and director amounted to approximately $450,000. We will continue to monitor our needs for capital to loan and will attempt to match availability with demand. At this time, our existing cash position and our availability under the line of credit are not sufficient to support our anticipated business operations for the next twelve months. It is anticipated that more capital will be required to meet our needs and the company is exploring funding alternatives. No assurances can be given that the company will be able to find the capital it needs or if found, that the terms will be acceptable. On October 17, 2002, Temporary Financial Services, Inc. (TFS) and Temps Unlimited, Inc. were served with a lawsuit by Labor Ready, Inc. The suit alleged, among other things, that TFS and our affiliated companies were illegally conspiring to compete against Labor Ready in the temporary labor business. Defense costs of the litigation significantly impacted operations in 2003, aggregating approximately $50,000 for the year. In February, 2004, the dispute was mediated and settled. TFS has contributed $33,334 to a settlement fund to resolve the matter and it expected that the case will be dismissed in April, 2004. While management continues to maintain that the Labor Ready claims were unsupportable, the continuing costs of litigation would have been significant and we believe that the settlement is in the best interests of all shareholders. During 2003, we increased our investment holdings to $1,055,915. The corresponding investment assets have terms between two and three years. We intend to hold these investments to maturity. We also intend to purchase additional investment assets when such purchases can be made at attractive returns. This will increase our need for capital. 10-KSB Page 8 PART II, ITEM 7.

10-KSB Page 15 NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organization: For the year ended December31, 2003, the accompanying financial statements are those of Temporary Financial Services, Inc., incorporated in Washington State on October 4, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the financial statements are those of Temporary Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Temps Unlimited, Incorporated, which was incorporated in Washington State on October 31, 2000. During 2003, Temps Unlimited, Inc. was liquidated and at December 31, 2003, the Company had no subsidiaries. References to the company refer to Temporary Financial Services, Inc. in 2003 and to both Temporary Financial Services, Inc. and Temps Unlimited, Inc. in 2002. Both companies report on a fiscal year ending December 31. The Company's operations consist of financing and other services for the temporary employment services industry and financing the purchase of real estate contracts receivable through an affiliated business. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold off its minority interests in two temporary staffing businesses, and is no longer engaged in ownership of temporary staffing businesses. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Principles of consolidation - For the year ending December 31, 2002, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash - Cash consists of demand deposits, including interest-bearing accounts, held in three banks. Deferred stock offering costs - Legal and other fees and costs incurred in connection with the Company's initial public stock offering were deferred in the year ended December 31, 2001. The initial public offering closed in April, 2002, and the costs incurred in connection with the offering, were deducted from the offering proceeds and reduced additional paid-in capital in the year ended December 31, 2002. Office furniture and equipment - Office furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of seven years. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the company sold its fixed assets to an affiliated party, and no longer holds fixed assets. 10-KSB Page 16 NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue recognition - The Company generates revenues from loan fees, loan administration fees, fee based accounting services, and joint venture and consulting services. The Company recognizes loan fees at the time the loan amounts are advanced to borrowers. Loan administration fees are set at a weekly fixed amount and are recognized as earned at the end of the week to which the loan administration fee applies. Loan advances are typically made on a weekly basis to temporary staffing borrowers, and the amount of the advance is netted against the applicable loan fees and loan administration fees. Fee based accounting services are typically charged at a monthly fixed rate, and are invoiced as income at the end of the month in which the services are performed. Joint venture revenues are recognized when receive. Joint venture revenues result from the Company's participation in real estate contract receivable purchases. After holding the interest in the joint venture contract for a relatively short period, the contract is sold and the Company's gain is determined by the excess of the sale price over the cost basis of the contract. Consulting fees are recognized when billed for services provided to affiliated companies. Allowance for loan losses - The Company provides for estimated loan losses on loans receivable at a level which, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb credit losses on such loans. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loans receivable, including the nature of the loans, adequacy of collateral, credit concentrations, trends in loss experience, specific impaired loans, economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the loans. At December 31, 2003, management determined that no allowance for loan losses was necessary. Investments in affiliates - The Company's minority investments in affiliated limited liability companies were reported using the equity method. The Company's share of earnings and losses of the affiliates were reported as income or expense in the period in which the earnings or losses are incurred. In 2002, the Company sold its interests in its temporary staffing businesses, and at December 31, 2002 and 2003, the only affiliated business being reported using the equity method was the investment in Genesis Financial, Inc., the affiliated business engaged in purchasing and selling real estate receivables contracts. Income tax - For 2002, the Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiary. Deferred taxes are provided, when material, on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. There were no material temporary differences for the periods presented. Deferred tax assets, subject to a valuation allowance, are recognized for future benefits of net operating losses being carried forward. Earnings per share - Earnings (loss) per common share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. 10-KSB Page 17 NOTE 2 -- RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From June 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002, the Company provided an officer/stockholder with office space and support under an informal arrangement at the rate of $500 per month. This arrangement was discontinued as of December 31, 2002. During 2002 the Company purchased professional services of an officer/director at a cost of $45,219. No amounts were paid to the officer/director for professional services in 2003. As discussed in note 3, the Company had loans receivable from affiliates totaling $1,704,985 and $1,055,525 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2003, the Company had a $2,000,000 line of credit with an officer/stockholder (see note 5) on which interest expense of $89,932 and $40,764 was incurred in 2003 and 2002, respectively. In December, 2003, an officer/director of the company purchased all of the company's fixed assets for $23,037, the net book value of the assets at the time of purchase. The Board of Directors, with the officer/director abstaining, agreed that the net book value was at least as great as the market value of the assets at the date of sale and considered the price to be fair. The assets were sold to position the company for possible acquisition at some time in the future. Effective January 1, 2004, TFS will pay equipment rent to the officer/director valued at $500 per month through the exchange of office space at a comparable value NOTE 3 -- LOANS RECEIVABLE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company provides short-term financing for temporary staffing businesses and an affiliated business engaged in purchasing and selling real estate receivable contracts. The temporary staffing business financing consists of notes receivable that are generally collateralized by the borrower's accounts receivable, all assets of the borrower, and the use of personal guarantees and pledges where appropriate. Lending criteria established to minimize credit risk include, among other things, assessment of the operator's capabilities, minimum business capitalization requirements, maintenance of an adequate accounts receivable borrowing base, and a requirement for timely reporting of financial information to demonstrate ongoing compliance with loan covenants. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred no loan losses and there were no impaired loans outstanding at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Company had reduced its temporary staffing loan business to a single customer and does not intend to actively pursue this type of business in the future. Financing provided to the Company's affiliated real estate contract receivable borrower is made against a secured warehousing line of credit agreement. The Company has established lending guidelines that limit loans to 80% of the borrowers cost of the contracts purchased, and the Company periodically reviews the contract receivable agreements and appraisals to maintain a comfort level regarding adequacy of the borrower's collateral base. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred no loan losses and there were no loans outstanding at December 31, 2003 against which the Company had reserved for expected losses. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no outstanding commitments for undisbursed loans. 10-KSB Page 18 NOTE 4 -- INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2001, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Temps Unlimited, Incorporated, made minority (18%) investments in two start-up temporary labor dispatch offices. The two companies, Temps Unlimited of Minnesota, LLC doing business as Staffing on Demand, and Temps Unlimited of Nebraska, LLC, doing business as ValuStaff, were formed as limited liability companies. During 2002, the Company sold its interests in both temporary staffing businesses, and recognized an aggregate loss on sale of $23,673. As of December 31, 2002, the Company no longer holds any interest in temporary staffing businesses. In January, 2002, the Company acquired an interest in Genesis Financial, Inc., a company formed to engage in the business of purchasing and reselling seller financed real estate receivable contracts. The Company acquired 350,000 shares of common stock at $.001 per share, 200,000 shares at $1.00 per share, and $200,000 of convertible debt with a conversion right at $1.00 per share. The convertible debt was converted to common stock in 2002. The Company also exchanged 50,000 shares of its common stock for 250,000 shares of Genesis Financial, Inc. common stock with a fair value of $250,000. As a result of these transactions, at December 31, 2002, the Company owned 1,000,000 (45%) of the total outstanding stock of Genesis Financial, Inc. On November 28, 2003, the Company distributed 737,280 shares of its Genesis common stock as a dividend to its shareholders. The dividend shares were valued at $1.00 per share and resulted in a gain on the distribution that has been reflected in the income statement at December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company disbursed 12,000 shares of its Genesis common stock to the Company's underwriter (and $22,000 cash), in settlement of its underwriter's warrants. In accordance with the initial funding agreement, a portion of the Company's Genesis common stock was also subject to a clawback based on certain performance requirements. In December, 2003, the Company and Genesis mutually agreed to accelerate the clawback for inclusion in the 2003 financial statements and 105,000 of the Company's Genesis shares were cancelled. As a result of these transactions, at December 31, 2003, the Company owned 145,720 shares of Genesis common stock (approximately 9.1% of total outstanding shares of Genesis). The Company continues to report the Genesis investment on the equity method because of the continuing close relationship of the companies and the line of credit that Temporary Financial Services, Inc. provides to Genesis. At December 31, 2003, the accumulated losses in equity of affiliates exceeds the cost basis of the remaining Genesis shares (145,720 shares) that the Company holds. The Company will not record any further losses in equity of affiliates on the Genesis shares until the net basis of the shares held exceeds the aggregate losses previously recorded. At December 31, 2003, the carrying value of the Genesis shares is -0-. The amount of deferred equity losses in affiliates at December 31, 2003 was $20,484. NOTE 5 -- LINE OF CREDIT: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $1,558,404 and $542,425, respectively, payable against a line-of-credit with an officer/stockholder. The line-of-credit is unsecured and bears interest at 8%. At December 31, 2002, the maximum limit on the line of credit was $1,500,000. The line limit was increased to $2,000,000 in 2003, and in February, 2004, the line was extended and the credit limit increased to $2,500,000. The line-of-credit agreement now expires on December 31, 2004 and any outstanding balance is due on that date. 10-KSB Page 19 At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company was owed $1,704,985 and $1,055,525, respectively, by Genesis Financial, Inc. against a $2,000,000 line of credit secured by all of the assets of Genesis Financial, Inc. The line is personally guaranteed by one principal of the borrower. The line of credit bears interest at the rate of 8%. The line of credit has been extended through December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has not established any reserve for losses on its line of credit with Genesis. The TFS line of credit is secured by underlying contracts and properties held by Genesis. At December 31, 2003, the Genesis held twenty-six contracts and five properties in inventory with an aggregate cost of $1,795,016. Of the twenty-six contracts and five properties owned, seventeen were residential properties or contracts with an aggregate cost of $622,391, five contracts were commercial properties or contracts with an aggregate cost of $525,858, four were land or land contracts with an aggregate cost of $462,023, and two were business notes with an aggregate cost basis of $118,747. Included in these amounts are five properties obtained through foreclosure with an aggregate cost basis of $316,062. Properties owned (REO's) are included in inventory and are available for sale. Two of the residential contracts held with an aggregate cost basis of $58,339 were delinquent at December 31, 2003. On an aggregate basis, the market values of each category of contracts (residential, commercial, land, and business notes) exceed the cost basis of the contracts and no adjustments to lower of cost or market were necessary at December 31, 2003. In addition to the contracts, Genesis was co-developer with a first lien position in two modular home and lot projects. Genesis provides capital to complete the projects and the joint developer manages the development projects. Upon completion and sale of each development project, Genesis will receive 80% of the gross profit after recovery of the development costs. As of December 31, 2003, the two projects in process were carried at the cost basis of $247,625 and the properties are currently available for sale. By contract category, 9% of the residential contracts were delinquent. On an aggregate basis, 23% of the contracts in inventory were delinquent or had been foreclosed at or prior to December 31, 2003. The estimated net recovery values of these delinquent and foreclosed properties exceed Genesis' cost basis in the contracts and no loss reserves have been established for the delinquent properties at December 31, 2003. In the aggregate, TFS is secured by properties with an aggregate cost basis of $2,042,641. The loan balance at December 31, 2003 was $1,704,985. NOTE 6 -- CAPITAL STOCK: Through December 31, 2002, the Company completed two unregistered private placements of common stock, an initial public offering and distributed 50,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 250,000 shares of Genesis Financial, Inc. These transactions are discussed below. Private Placements: A total of 250,000 shares were subscribed and payment in full had been received by December 31, 2001. The gross proceeds from the private placements amounted to $650,000. Preferred Stock: Shares of the Company's authorized but unissued preferred stock, if issued, are entitled preference over common shares in distribution of assets upon the Company's liquidation or dissolution. Preferred shares have no stated dividend rate. Public Stock Offering: Effective January 9, 2002, the Company initiated an initial public offering of up to 800,000 shares (200,000 share minimum) of its common stock at $5 per share. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offering, and the Prospectus set out an offering termination date of March 31, 2002. In connection with the registration, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Public Securities of Spokane, Washington on a 200,000 share "best efforts, all or none" basis, with an additional 600,000 shares on a "best efforts" basis. The Company agreed to pay the Underwriter a 10% commission on sales, except for sales to existing stockholders, and a 1% non-accountable expense allowance. The Underwriter also received one common stock warrant for each ten shares of stock sold in the public offering. The Warrants and underlying shares were registered and entitle the Underwriter to purchase the stock covered by the warrants at $7 per share beginning one year after the effective date of the offering for a five year period. As of the offering termination date of March 31, 2002, the Company had sold 337,280 shares in the public offering raising gross offering proceeds of $1,686,400. After payment of offering expenses and underwriters' commissions, the Company netted $1,500,049 from the public offering. 10-KSB Page 20 Exchange of Stock with Genesis. In conjunction with the Company's investment in Genesis Financial, Inc. (see Note 4), the Company exchanged 50,000 shares of its common stock valued at $5.00 per share for 250,000 shares of Genesis common stock. The Genesis common shares are restricted securities and were acquired for investment purposes. As discussed in Note 4, in 2003, the Company distributed 737,280 shares of Genesis common stock as a dividend to its shareholders. At December 31, 2003, the Company continued to hold 145,720 shares of Genesis common stock for investment. No other stock transactions occurred in 2003 and at December 31, 2003, the Company had 737,280 shares issued and outstanding. NOTE 7 - INCOME TAX: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company generated tax-basis net operating income of approximately $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, and aggregate losses since inception of approximately $150,000. These losses are available for carryover to offset future taxable income through 2022. At December 31, 2003, the Company had a $37,500 deferred tax asset relating to the operating loss carryovers. The deferred tax asset was fully offset by a valuation allowance because of uncertainties if the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income to generate the tax benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the income tax benefit differed from the $37,500 expected amount because of the impact of recognizing the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. NOTE 8 -- OPERATING LEASES: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In June, 2001, the Company entered into an operating lease of its office premises. Also in 2001, the Company leased certain office equipment under an operating lease agreement. Following are the future commitments under the leases as of December 31, 2003: 2004 8,000 NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In February, 2004, the Company participated in a mediation process regarding the claims of Labor Ready, Inc. against Temporary Financial Services, Inc. and its affiliates, and other parties, and the claims of Temporary Financial Services, Inc. against Labor Ready, Inc. As a result of the arbitration, the Company agreed to contribute $33,334 to a settlement fund in order to end the litigation. The offer of settlement was accepted by all of the parties and documents are in process that will end the litigation. It is anticipated that the settlement documents will be signed and filed with the court sometime in April, 2004. As a result of the settlement, the Company will have no further litigation defense obligations. The Company has deposited its settlement payment with defense counsel. The settlement obligation arose in 2004. No accrual of this amount was reflected at Decemebr 3, 2004. 10-KSB Page 21 ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

For this purpose, independent directors are individuals that do not have an employment, significant business, or ownership relationship with the Company. Maintaining at least two independent directors will provide an independent source for evaluating and approving or disapproving transactions that may involve the inside officers and directors. We consider individuals owning less than 5% of the outstanding shares following completion of this offering to be independent provided they are not employees and do not have some other business relationship with us that could affect their independence. 10-KSB Page 23 Effective December 31, 2002, one of the independent directors, Mr. Greg Lipsker, resigned. As a result of Mr. Lipsker's resignation, the Company currently has only one independent director.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A ) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. The Company is not currently subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result, compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act is not required of the executive officers and directors of the Company. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. In all transactions between the Company and an affiliated party, the transaction will be presented to the Board of Directors and may only be approved if (1) if the transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and, (2) a majority of the independent directors who do not have an interest in the transaction approve of the action. We will pay for legal counsel to the independent directors if they want to consult with counsel on the matter. We believe that the requirement for approval of affiliated transactions by disinterested independent directors will assure that all activities of the Company are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. As noted above, the Company currently has only one independent director. Pending election of a second independent board member, the Company will submit transactions (if any) with affiliates to Mr. Olsen for his approval. We intend to consider investment in other businesses from time to time. When presented with an investment opportunity, we may decline the investment because of the timing, other commitments, size, suitability standards, or any number of other sound business reasons. In such circumstances, it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may choose to make the investment from personal funds. In order to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities to the Company and our shareholders, each officer and director is aware that he or she must make business opportunities that are consistent with our business plan available to the company first. If we decline to participate, the individual officers and directors may then participate individually. Beyond the obligation to present opportunities to the Company first, there are no restrictions on participation in business opportunities by our officers and directors. The Company expects to establish an audit committee and adopt a code of ethics for its executive officers prior to December 31, 2004.. 10-KSB Page 24 ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. Temporary Financial Services, Inc. was formed in October, 2000. Since its inception, we have engaged in a number of transactions with our management in an effort to establish business operations. These transactions may not be considered to have been conducted at arms length, although the disinterested Directors approved the transactions and the terms were considered fair at the time. The initial capitalization of the company was derived from a private placement of 100,000 shares of common stock sold to officers and directors (the founders' shares) at an offering price of $1.00 per share. In that offering, John Coghlan, Brad Herr and Kristie Jesmore and one other unaffiliated shareholder each purchased 25,000 shares in exchange for $6,250 cash and a promissory note for $18,750 payable in three annual installments of $6,250 each. The promissory notes were paid in full on June 26, 2001 and full payment for the founders' shares has now been received by the Company. At the same time that we were conducting the offering of founders' shares, we also offered 50,000 shares to unaffiliated investors at $1.00 per share payable in cash at the time of investment. This offering was fully subscribed in November, 2000. In December, 2000, we offered an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $3.00 per share. This offering was fully subscribed on December 31, 2000, and all subscriptions for shares in this private placement were received by January 2, 2001. In this private placement, John Coghlan purchased 55,500 shares and Brad Herr purchased 5,000 shares. In each case, the full $3.00 per share price was paid by the officers and directors in cash, on the same terms as offered to other investors. 10-KSB Page 26 Following incorporation and initial funding of the business, we operated out of offices provided by Mr. Coghlan and reimbursed Mr. Coghlan $200 per month for use of his facilities and office equipment. On June 1, 2001, we rented office space located at 200 N. Mullan, Suite 213, Spokane, Washington and Mr. Coghlan shared our office space from June 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002. Mr. Coghlan reimbursed the company for his use of our space at the rate of $500 per month through December 31, 2002. The Company collected $6,000 in 2002 and $3,500 in 2001 from Mr. Coghlan under this arrangement. The amounts of rent we paid Mr. Coghlan prior to June 1, 2001, and the amounts of rent received from Mr. Coghlan in 2001 and 2002 for his personal use of our facilities, are considered fair value for the facilities provided. The rent arrangement with Mr. Coghlan was discontinued in January, 2003. From January 1, 2002 through March 31, 2002, Brad E. Herr, P.S., a professional service corporation owned by Brad E. Herr, provided professional services to the Company.. Mr. Herr was paid on an hourly basis at that rate of $60 per hour for hours actually spent on our business. The compensation paid to Mr. Herr in 2001 and 2002 under this arrangement is reflected in Item 10, above. Near the end of the second quarter, 2002, the Company recognized a need to restructure its interests in minority owned temporary labor offices. The minority interests were not generating the desired returns and long distance participation in the management of the temporary labor offices was diverting management attention from more profitable ventures. After considering the alternatives, we elected to sell our interests in the Minnesota and Nebraska temporary labor operations. We presented our plan to sell our interests to our shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting held on August 1, 2002, and the plan was approved by the shareholders. The interests were sold to Rule 1-4 LLC, a limited liability company owned by John R. Coghlan and Brad E. Herr. Rule 1-4 LLC paid Temps Unlimited, Inc. $68,782 to complete the transaction. $33,000 was paid for the interest in Temps Unlimited of Nebraska LLC, resulting in a gain on the Nebraska sale of $10,126. $35,783 was paid for the interest in Temps Unlimited of Minnesota LLC, resulting in a loss on the sale of $33,799. In the aggregate, the Company reported a net loss on sale of these interests of $23,673. We believe that the sale was necessary and will, in the long run, benefit the Company by eliminating an unprofitable distraction. The sale to Rule 1-4 LLC on the terms described was considered fair in the circumstances. Both the Minnesota and Nebraska businesses had significant levels of potentially uncollectible accounts, and if uncollectible, further losses and cash contribution requirements would potentially have been imposed on the Company. Additionally, the Company was not prepared to monitor and manage the orderly liquidation of the businesses, choosing instead to focus on future positive business prospects. In December, 2003, John R. Coghlan purchased the fixed assets of the Company for book value $23,037, the net book value of the assets at the time of purchase. The Board of Directors, with the officer/director abstaining, agreed that the net book value was at least as great as the market value of the assets at the date of sale and considered the price to be fair. The assets were sold to position the company for possible acquisition at some time in the future. 10-KSB Page 27 ITEM 13.
