include Monarch Services, Inc., "Monarch" and its wholly-owned
active subsidiaries, Girls' Life, Inc., Girls Life.com and Adam
Leaf and Bean, Inc. and the discontinued operations of "Adam"
magazine and "Girls' Life Living" (collectively referred to herein
as the "Company"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB
and do not include all of the information and disclosures required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for complete financial statements.  Certain reclassifications
have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the
classifications made in 2002. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All material
intercompany balances between Monarch and its subsidiaries have been
eliminated in consolidation.  Operating results for the three months
ending October 31, 2002 and the six months ending October 31, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2003.  There has been no

to carryback those losses for five years.  Prior to the 2002 Act, loss

has not recorded any tax benefit associated with the future realization
of operating losses.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For purposes of this discussion references to fiscal 2003 are to the quarter

CERTAIN CAUTIONARY INFORMATION

In connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the "Litigation Reform Act"), we are hereby disclosing certain cautionary
information to be used in connection with written materials (including this
Report on Form 10-QSB) and oral statements made by or on behalf of our
employees and representatives that may contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Litigation Reform Act.  Such statements consist
of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, expect,
will, anticipate, estimate or continue or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology.  You are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are numerous
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements.  The
discussion contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended April 30, 2002 and incorporated herein by reference highlights some of
the more important risks  we have identified, but should not be assumed to
be the only factors that could affect future performance.  Included in these
risks are our new business lines, history of losses, our fluctuations in
operating results, competition and other risks set forth herein and in our
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002 and
in other reports we have filed.  You are cautioned that we do not have a
policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements and thus you
should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events
are bearing out as estimated in such forward-looking statements.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require the use of management's estimates.  We believe that the most
critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition.


PEERCE'S PLANTATION GL

Renovation of Peerce's Plantation GL began in the spring of 2002.
Structural damage in certain parts of the restaurant building were
more extensive than we originally believed and have delayed our
opening.  We currently expect that the restaurant will open in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.  Additional difficulties with the
renovations including additional structural damage, permitting
issues or other issues could result in additional delays in our
expected opening date. The restaurant and bar will maintain the
same original configuration but some areas are being expanded to
improve the flow of customers through the restaurant and bar areas.
We have hired a general manager and executive chef to operate the
restaurant and bar.  A director of catering has also been hired to
coordinate catered affairs.  Restaurant and catering menues are based
on traditional Maryland fare with a European flavor and prices for
entrees and other items are being set to be competetive in the upscale
restaurant market place. As of October 31, 2002, we have capitalized
$359,000 in improvements for Peerce's Plantation GL.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have two operating subsidiaries. Girls' Life, Inc., publishes a
magazine and Adam Leaf and Bean, Inc. sells tobacco, coffee and
related products on a retail basis.


RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2003 AND 2002

The revenues of Girls' Life, Inc. are seasonal in nature.  Girls' Life magazine
is published six times per year.  The Company's typical publication schedule
usually results in the accrual of revenues for one issue in the first and third
quarters of the fiscal year and the accrual of revenues for two issues in the
second and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.  The publication schedule is
subject to revision without notice. There is one issue of Girls' Life magazine
in the second quarter of fiscal years 2003 and 2002.  There is two issues of
Girls' Life magazine in the six months of fiscal years 2003 and 2002.

Publishing sales of Girls' Life decreased $248,000 or 17% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 from the second quarter of fiscal 2002.  The net
decrease in sales relates primarily to a decrease in subscription, advertising
and newsstand revenue as partially offset by an increase in revenue from
editorial services from third parties.  Subscription revenue decreased by
$96,000, or 13%, to $630,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from the
prior comparable period.  The decline in subscription revenue is attributable
to lower remittances from subscription agencies.  We have noticed a trend
toward lower subscription remittances from our subscription agencies caused,
we believe, by the strong competitive position of the limited number of
agencies in the market.  We expect this trend to continue.  We use subscription
agencies to expand our subscription base for Girls' Life Magazine.  Revenue
from subscriptions sold through subscription agencies is less than the revenue
received from subscriptions sold directly to the customer. Advertising revenue
decreased by $174,000, or 34%, to $505,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
2003 from the prior comparable period.  Management believes that advertising
revenue is still adversely affected by an industry-wide decline in the demand
for advertising due to the current economic slowdown in the United States.
Newsstand revenue decreased by $33,000, or 27%, to $91,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 from the prior comparable period. Revenue from
editorial services to third parties increased by $36,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 from the prior comparable period.

Sales of the retail operations, Adam Leaf and Bean tobacco and coffee shop,
were $163,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2003.  There were no retail
sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002.  Total sales for publishing and
the one retail operation decreased $85,000, or 6%, in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003.

Total cost of goods sold, as a percent of total sales was 93% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 66% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
Cost of goods sold for publishing, as a percent of sales was 88% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 66% in the second quarter of fiscal
2002.  The percentage increase in the cost of goods sold for publishing was
primarily attributable to increased costs in connection with our book
publishing efforts, cost of direct mail promotion and printing costs
associated with third party editorial services.

Cost of goods sold for the retail sales, as a percent of sales was 127% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2003.  There were no retail sales or costs in
the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Adam Leaf and Bean is still considered
to be in its start-up stage.  Sales for Adam Leaf and Bean were $98,000 for
the quarter ended April 30, 2002,  $143,000 for the quarter ended July 31,
2002 and $163,00 for the quarter ended October 31, 2002.

Cost of goods sold includes certain direct overhead costs that are fixed
and do not flucuate as a result of the sales volume.  Certain other costs
are not fixed and do flucuate with the sales volume.  As sales increase,
the fixed costs decrease as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 38%
for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to 29% in the prior comparable
period.  The increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily due
to the additional selling, general and administrative costs associated with
Adam Leaf and Bean. There were no selling, general and administrative expenses
for Adam Leaf and Bean in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.  Also costs
associated with Peerce's Plantation GL have been classified as selling, general
and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2003. These costs
include salaries for the general manager, chef and director of catering were
$48,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2002.  Promotional expenses
for Girls' Life magazine increased $116,000, or 120 %, for the second quarter
of fiscal 2003 compared to the prior comparable period.  Although these
expenses are taken in the current period, they are intended to benefit
future periods.  We expect to continue our strategy of promoting Girls' Life
Magazine in future periods.

There were no revenues and costs associated with Adam magazine and Girl's Life
Living food court for the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

Other income decreased $43,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared
to the second quarter of fiscal 2002.  The decrease was primarily due to the
decrease in interest income due to a lower interest rate environment and
decreased cash balances.


RESULTS FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2003 AND 2002


Publishing sales of Girls' Life decreased $299,000, or 14%, during the six
months of fiscal 2003 from the six months of fiscal 2002.  The net decrease
in sales relates primarily to a decrease in subscription and advertising
revenue as partially offset by an increase in newsstand revenue and revenue
from editorial services from third parties.  Subscription revenue decreased
by $149,000, or 14%, to $953,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2003 from
the prior comparable period.  The decline in subscription revenue is
attributable to lower remittances from subscription agencies.  Girl's Life
uses subscription agencies to expand their subscription base.  Revenue from
subscriptions sold through subscription agencies is less than the revenue
received from subscriptions sold directly to the customer. Advertising revenue
decreased by $190,000, or 26%, to $528,000 in the first six months of fiscal
2003 from the prior comparable period.  Management believes that advertising
revenue is still adversely affected by an industry-wide decline in the demand
for advertising due to the current economic slowdown in the United States.
Newsstand revenue increased by $34,000, or 33%, to $136,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 2003 from the prior comparable period. Revenue from editorial
services to third parties increased by $57,000 in the first six months of
fiscal 2003 from the prior comparable period.

Sales of the retail operations, Adam Leaf and Bean tobacco and coffee shop,
were $306,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2003.  There were no retail
sales for the first six months of fiscal 2002.  Total sales for publishing and
the one retail operation increased $7,000 in the first six months of fiscal
2003.

Total cost of goods sold, as a percent of total sales was 98% in the first six
months of fiscal 2003 compared to 67% in the first six months of fiscal 2002.
Cost of goods sold for publishing, as a percent of sales was 94% in the first
six months of fiscal 2003 compared to 67% in the first six months of fiscal
2002.  The percentage increase in the cost of goods sold for publishing was
primarily attributable to increased costs in connection with our book
publishing efforts, costs of direct mail promotion and printing costs
associated with third party editorial services.

Cost of goods sold for the retail sales, as a percent of sales was 120% in
the first six months of fiscal 2003.  There were no retail sales or costs in
the first six months of fiscal 2002. Adam Leaf and Bean is still considered
to be in its start-up stage.

Cost of goods sold includes certain direct overhead costs that are fixed and
do not flucuate as a result of the sales volume.  Certain other costs are not
fixed and do flucuate with the sales volume.  As sales increase, the fixed
costs decrease as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 39%
for the first six months of fiscal 2003 compared to 38% in the prior comparable
period.  The increase for the first six months of fiscal 2003 was primarily due
to the additional selling, general and administrative costs associated with
Adam Leaf and Bean. There were no selling, general and administrative expenses
for Adam Leaf and Bean in the first six months of fiscal 2002.  Also additional
direct and indirect costs associated with Peerce's Plantation GL have been
classified as selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six
months of fiscal 2003. Promotional expenses for Girls' Life magazine increased
$118,000, or 118 %, for the first six months of fiscal 2003 compared to the
prior comparable period.  Although these expenses are taken in the current
period, they are intended to benefit future periods.  We expect to continue
our strategy of promoting Girls' Life Magazine in future periods.

Revenues and costs associated with Adam magazine and Girls' Life Living food
court have been reclassified as discontinued operations for the six months of
fiscal 2003.

Other income decreased $110,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2003 compared
to the first six months of fiscal 2002.  The decrease was primarily due to the
decrease in interest income due to a lower interest rate environment and
decreased cash balances.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At October 31, 2002, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $649,000 a increase of $770,000 from the amount at
April 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from the reduction
