Item 3.D. Risk Factors


The Company, and the Securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment.  The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's Securities:


 

 

(a)

Software: The Company has developed its own multi-player interactive online poker games software (the “Gaming Software”).  There are no assurances whatsoever that the Company’s Gaming Software will be commercially successful.


 

 

(b)

Competition: The products and services offered by the Company and the Company's Antiguan subsidiary will compete against those of other new and developing companies as well as companies established in existing and other markets, some of which have greater financial, marketing, software programming and other resources than those of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary.  Amongst other features, these competitors may be able to provide greater functionality in their web site operations.  The entry of well-financed land-based casino operators would significantly and negatively impact the competitive position of the Company’s Antiguan subsidiary.


 

(c)   Reliance on the Internet and the Internet Service Providers: The Company and the Company's Antiguan subsidiary will rely on the Internet as a means of promoting and selling the products and services offered by the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary. Any changes in the Internet's role as the premier computer network information service, or any shutdown of Internet service by significant Internet service providers, will impact the Company's Antiguan subsidiary’s ability to generate revenues.  Furthermore, the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary can be adversely affected from power failures, internet interruptions, software failures and hackings.

 

(d)   Reliance on Employees: The Company and its Antiguan subsidiary will be relying heavily on their employees for researching, developing, enhancing, operating and marketing of their products and services, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary.

 


(e)    Reliance on Licensees: The Company will be relying on licensees for the purpose of operating the Gaming Software, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary.


(f)    Product Obsolescence: The Internet continues to change and evolve in both its systems and its accepted methods of marketing. The Company and its Antiguan subsidiary are at risk if, in respect of any products and services which they develop or license, they do not continue to upgrade and improve such products and services to avoid rendering the existing software obsolete. Internal cash generated by operations may not permit the level of research and development spending required in maintaining a stream of new product improvements.


(g)   Liquidity: The revenue generated from the Gaming Software is currently insignificant and not sufficient to sustain the ongoing operations of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary.  There are no assurances whatsoever that the Gaming Software will generate sufficient revenues in order to make the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary profitable.  Moreover, there can be no assurance whatsoever that the current levels of cash in the Company will sufficiently sustain the Company's operations or those of its Antiguan subsidiary. Additional funding will be required in order for the Company to meet its contractual obligations and, there can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing to fund its own operations or those of its Antiguan subsidiary. This could have a material adverse impact on the business of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary.


(h) Marketplace: The marketplace in which the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary intend to compete is constantly undergoing changes. Internet commerce services are continuing to develop based on a largely untapped and unproven market. The ability of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary to generate profitable earnings from the Internet is based on their ability to successfully enter and develop this untapped and unproven market.


(i) Marketing Plan: The Internet has not been established as a long term profitable medium for generating revenue specifically with gaming operations. The Company’s Antiguan subsidiary has developed its internal marketing plans. Poor market acceptance of any products offered by the Company’s Antiguan subsidiary or other unanticipated events may result in lower revenues than anticipated. Additional and significant funding will be required to permit the level of advertising and promotion required to establish a market presence and generate any meaningful revenue and such funding may not be available.

 


5




(j)

Legal and Regulatory: The ability to profitably sell various products or services on the Internet is dependent upon the legal and regulatory authorities of various levels of governments on a worldwide basis. The rulings made by governments relating to Internet gaming are in their infancy and are dependent upon a number of political, economic and public interest factors. The Company and its Antiguan subsidiary, to a great extent, are dependent upon international government rulings in respect of the permissibility of certain Internet commerce activities, specifically those involving gaming. The Company or its Antiguan subsidiary could be materially adversely affected by negative rulings relating to Internet commerce activities by international governments, particularly in the United States and Canada. As the Internet represents a relatively new medium of communication, the legislation is only just beginning to reflect the advent of the new technology. The laws in the United States and throughout the world both relating to the Internet and to Internet gaming specifically are expected to continue to be developed over a number of years. The Company's business plan is based on its ability to first develop and then market and sell its services and those of its Antiguan subsidiary on the Internet. The permissible scope of gaming and betting on the Internet varies from country to country and within various jurisdictions within each country. Until the legal issues are resolved either through legislation or the courts, the future of Internet gaming and betting is uncertain in many jurisdictions. Internet gaming and betting has received increased scrutiny by legal agencies, and in some cases, legal proceedings have been initiated alleging that such activities are illegal, primarily in the U.S. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of such proceedings and the ultimate impact on the Company's business. If it is held that Internet gaming and betting such as that proposed to be conducted by the Company's Antiguan subsidiary is illegal in a significant number of jurisdictions, it would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary. Furthermore, the existence of claims of illegality may result in litigation costs and an indefinite interruption in the business activities of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary. Although each country or jurisdiction will create its own legislation, the United States' current and proposed legislation represents some of the most stringent laws in this industry. Due to the uncertainty of the regulatory environment, management is unable to determine the effect of the current and proposed legal regulations and their applications in the United States or elsewhere. Management believes that this uncertainty in respect of the legislation, the jurisdictions and the enforcement will continue for a number of years to come. This belief is based on the requirement for cooperation between legislative bodies in various countries in order to properly enforce any Internet laws. Negative rulings, restrictive legislation and the application of any restrictive legislation could adversely affect the gaming and betting operations of the Company's Antiguan subsidiary. The Company is monitoring all issues as discussed above on an ongoing basis and intends to conduct its operations in compliance with any changes in laws such as licenses by governmental entities, expropriation, import and export regulations, and other foreign laws, or policies governing operations of foreign based companies, as well as by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment.  In addition, as the  foreign operations of the Company's subsidiary are governed by foreign laws, in the event of a dispute the Company and its subsidiary may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts and the application of foreign laws or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of Canadian courts. The Company and its subsidiary may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing their rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality by the doctrine of sovereign immunity. The business of the Company and its subsidiary is subject to political risks inherent in all foreign operations.


(k)

Exchange Rate Fluctuation: The profitability of the Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the rate of exchange of Canadian dollars into US dollars. The Company does not currently take any steps to hedge against currency fluctuations.


(l)

Dilution: There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.


(m)

Revenues and Dividends: Neither the Company nor its subsidiary currently generate any meaningful revenues and, as a consequence, if additional funds are required for the development of software or for other internet related purposes, or for general working capital, which is likely, the Company will have to seek equity or debt financings which may or may not be available. Furthermore, the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. In the event of generating any meaningful earnings, the Company shall retain its earnings to finance further growth.

 


6






(n)

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations:  The Company is classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") for U.S. Federal Income Tax purposes.  Classification as a PFIC will create U.S. Tax consequences to a U.S. shareholder of the Company that are unique to the PFIC provisions and that are not encountered in other investments.  Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of the Company.


(o)

Penny Stock:  The Company's securities are deemed to be Penny Stocks and are therefore subject to Penny Stock rules as defined in Rule 3a(51)(1) of the 1934 Exchange Act.  The Penny Stock disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of the Company's securities in the secondary market.  Penny Stocks are low-priced shares of small companies not traded on a U.S. national exchange or quoted on Nasdaq.  The Company's securities are quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Penny Stocks, such as the Company's securities, can be very risky.  Prices of Penny Stocks are often not available.  Investors in Penny Stocks are often unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock.  Investors may lose all their investment in Penny Stocks.  There is no guaranteed rate of return on Penny Stocks.  Before an investor purchases any Penny Stock, U.S. Federal law requires a salesperson to tell the investor the "offer" and the "bid" on the Penny Stock, and the "compensation" the salesperson and the firm receive for the trade.  The firm also must mail a confirmation of these prices to the investor after the trade.  The Investor's Broker-dealer is required to obtain the investor's signature to show that the investor has received the statement titled "Important Information on Penny Stocks" before the investor first trades in a Penny Stock.  This Statement is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and contains important information on Penny Stocks.  Furthermore, under penalty of Federal Law the Investor's brokerage firm must tell the investor at two different times - before the investor agrees to buy or sell a Penny Stock, and after the trade, by written confirmation the following:  1) the bid and offer price quotes for the Penny Stock, and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply, 2) the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, 3) the compensation received by the brokerage firm's salesperson for the trade.  In addition, to these items listed above the investor’s brokerage firm must send the investor monthly account statements and a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals as required by the Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.


ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company


The legal and commercial name of the company is:


LAS VEGAS FROM HOME.COM ENTERTAINMENT INC.


The Company was incorporated by Memorandum and Articles under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on May 27, 1980 under the name of "Mountain Fertilizer Products Ltd."  [See Exhibit 1.1 -Incorporated by reference].


The Directors of Mountain Fertilizer Products Ltd. resolved that the Company change its business activities and its name, and as a result of which, on August 6, 1980, the Company's name was changed to "Titleist Petroleums Ltd." ("Titleist") reflecting the business activities of the Company.  Titleist was involved in the oil and gas business in Canada and, through its U.S. subsidiary, Titleist Petroleums U.S.A. Inc. (“Titleist USA”), in the United States.  All of the Company's exploration, development and production activities were conducted jointly with third parties.  


Titleist USA was incorporated on June 24, 1981 under the laws of the State of Texas.  However, as of 1989, Titleist USA was a forfeited corporation.  Legal counsel has advised that the corporation has been forfeited due to the non-payment of franchise tax.  Although the corporation may still exist, it has lost its right to do business.  As a result, the Company has no control of the assets of Titleist USA and is not responsible for the liabilities, if any.


In 1985, Directors of Titleist resolved to merge, acquire and enter into a share exchange agreement with the

 


7






shareholders of Comp-Data USA, Inc., a computer related company, and on September 5, 1986, Titleist's name was changed to "Comp-Data International Inc." ("Comp-Data") and its authorized capital was consolidated on the basis of one-share for every five old shares.  


In 1987, Directors of Comp-Data resolved to get out of the computer related business.  As a result of which, Directors of Comp-Data acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Armenian Express Canada Inc.  Pursuant to a Special Resolution passed October 5, 1987, Comp-Data changed its name to "Armenian Express Canada Inc." to reflect the change of business plan and management of the Company.  In respect to this transaction, there was no share consolidation involved.  Subsequently, the Company's hydrocarbons assets were forfeited.


For a limited period of time, the Company implemented an ethnic affinity credit card which targeted Armenians in Canada.  An agreement was signed with the National Bank of Canada ("National Bank") wherein the Company was to market in Canada a MasterCard affinity credit card under its own name "Armenian Express Canada".  The agreement was for one year and was subject to annual renewals.  For a short period of time, affinity credit cards were issued in Canada by the National Bank.  The ethnic affinity credit card program did not generate any significant revenues for the Company given the small number of Armenians in Canada, and as a result of which, the National Bank terminated its agreement with the Company.  


In November 1989, the Company's Directors resolved to change the business activity of the Company and to make the Registrant a natural resource company, whereby the Company would acquire, explore and, if warranted, develop mineral properties.  Consequently, the Company changed its name to "Armenex Resources Canada Inc." and on July 4, 1990 consolidated its authorized capital on the basis of one-share for every five-old shares.  The Company was able to raise $480,000 by the issuance of 349,792 (post-consolidated) common shares in the capital of the Company by means of a Statement of Material Facts in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The funds were mainly utilized for exploration work programmes on mineral properties located in British Columbia, Canada.  


Subsequently, a re-organization was deemed necessary by the Directors of the Company.  Pursuant to the Company's Directors' resolutions, on August 31, 1994, the Company changed its name to "Ecuadorean Copperfields Inc." and consolidated its authorized capital on the basis of one-share for every five-old shares.  Subsequently, the Company was successful in raising the amount of $604,000 by the issuance of 503,333 (post-consolidated) common shares in the capital of the Company by means of a Statement of Material Facts in the Province of British Columbia.  The funds were utilized towards exploration work programmes on the Chaucha property in Ecuador and towards general working capital.  


In 1996, due to the large number of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, Directors of the Company decided that in order for the Company to be in a better position to attract public financings, the Company consolidate its authorized capital on the basis of one-new-share for every three-old shares and change its name to "Bronx Minerals Inc.".  Pursuant to the regulations of the TSX Venture, a share consolidation must accompany a change in the Company name.  On June 14, 1996, the Company changed its name to "Bronx Minerals Inc." and consolidated its authorized capital on the basis of one-new-share for three-old shares.  As a result, the Company successfully raised equity funds.


It has always been the intention of the Directors (past and present) to ensure that the Company survives.  As resolved by the Company's Directors all the reorganizations which the Company undertook were necessary for the Company's survival.  The reorganizations have been carried out in accordance with, and in full compliance of, the policies of the TSX Venture.  All of the Company's reorganizations were approved by the Canadian Regulatory Authorities and the Company's shareholders.


The Company's head office is located at:  Suite 600 - 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3T5.  The telephone number is (604) 681-0204 and the telefax number is (604) 681-9428.  The contact person is Bedo H. Kalpakian.

Item 4.B. Business Overview


Summary


Las Vegas is an Internet Gaming and Entertainment corporation.  Previously, the Company was called Bronx Minerals Inc. and was engaged in the mineral exploration business. On September 3, 1999, the Company officially changed its name, and on January 6, 2000, the Canadian Venture Exchange (“CDNX”) [formerly known as the Vancouver Stock Exchange] approved the Company’s application for change of business from mineral exploration to Internet gaming and entertainment.  During 2002, the CDNX changed its name to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX Venture”) pursuant to the Toronto Stock Exchange’s acquisition of the CDNX.


For a short period of time, the Company's predecessors were involved in the exploration, development and/or production of hydrocarbons.  The hydrocarbons properties were forfeited.  Subsequently, and for a short period of time, the Company attempted to be in the merchant banking business, but unfortunately the Company's efforts were unsuccessful, and as a result of which, the Company decided to get out of the merchant banking business and get involved in the minerals exploration business.  From 1989 to 1999, the Company was involved in the minerals exploration business, and during that period the Company acquired and explored mineral prospects.  The Company did not engage in the development of mineral properties, as none of the mineral prospects which the Company acquired or on which the Company explored warranted any further work or development.  During 1999, the Company decided not to continue in the mineral exploration business and sold its mineral properties and wrote down its remaining property to $1.  During 2003, the Company wrote down the mineral property to $0.


The Company and its Antiguan subsidiary Action Poker Gaming Inc. (“Action” or the “Company’s Antiguan subsidiary”) are in the business of developing and marketing software for online multiplayer interactive card games.


During 2002, Action moved its operations from its location in Antigua to the facilities of Mohawk Internet Technologies Inc. ("Mohawk") which acts as its hosting facility for its servers, located on the Kahnawakee Mohawk Reserve ("Kahnawakee") in Canada.


Kahnawakee has reserve status in Canada, and has its own regulations and laws concerning interactive gaming.  These regulations allow the Kahnawakee Gaming Commission to issue a gaming licence to a third party authorizing the conduct of authorized games by means of a telecommunication device, including the Internet.  The law in Kahnawakee regarding on-line gaming has not yet been tested by Canadian legal authorities therefore the legality of this issue is inconclusive.


The Kahnawakee Gaming Commission issued to Action, an interactive gaming license to operate and exploit an Internet gaming facility, to be located at Mohawk for the period commencing November 1, 2002 and ending October 31, 2004.


The gaming and entertainment operations are carried on by the Company's Antiguan subsidiary.  Due to the nature of Internet gaming and payment by credit card the subsidiary cannot verify whether the customers are of a lawful age.  The expected principal revenues of the Company's Antiguan subsidiary will be from collecting rakes, licensing fees and royalties.  The company’s Antiguan subsidiary operates as an Internet host of card games and collects a fee as host (rake) and does not participate in the actual card games.


Although management believes that the conduct of Internet gaming related activities by its Antiguan subsidiary represents a lawful business, there is the risk that the legality of the Internet gaming related activities may be challenged by Canadian or other legal authorities.  If the legality of the Internet gaming related activities is challenged and the challenge is sustained, it may have a material adverse impact on the financial affairs of the Company.

The Company and its Antiguan subsidiary face competition from both within the Internet gaming industry and from non-internet related gaming activities.  The potential entry of well financed land-based casino operators would significantly and negatively impact the competitive position of the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary, as a result of which the Company would be adversely affected.



During 2001, the Company developed its own multi-player interactive poker games software.  The Company’s software was built exclusively by the Company and was launched  live on-line to the general public under the URL www.gutspoker.com.   During 2002, the Company developed its own new generation multi-player interactive poker games software which was launched live on-line to the general public under the URL www.tigergaming.com.  Upon the live online launching of www.tigergaming.com, the Company discontinued using www.gutspoker.com.  


The Company's common shares were first listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture (formerly the Vancouver Stock Exchange) on September 15, 1983.  On the TSX Venture the Company’s trading symbol is “LVH”.  Effective July, 1999, the Company’s common shares began trading, in the U.S.A., on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “LVFHF”.  As of September 1, 2000, the Company’s common shares are listed for trading under the symbol “LVH” on the Third Market Segment of the Berlin Stock Exchange in Germany.


Item 4.C.   Organizational Structure.


The following chart sets forth the Company’s corporate structure:



The Company’s former subsidiaries Touchdown Inc., Endzone Inc., G.T. Enterprises Inc. and Azat Investment LLC were all dissolved in 2003.  Action Poker Gaming Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.


Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company acquired, on April 28, 2004, Action Commerce Limited (UK), a United Kingdom corporation.  Action Commerce Limited (UK) is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.


Item 4.D. Property, Plants and Equipment


I.

THE COMPANY'S EXISTING PROPERTY IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, USA


On January 18, 1993, the Company purchased 50% of the mineral rights in 159.5 acres located in the Northeast Quarter (NE 1/4) of Section Thirty-Three (33), Township Nine (9) South, Range Twenty Five (25) West, less and except one-half (1/2) acre in the Southeast (SE) corner in Pike County, Arkansas from Alton Terrell and Alice Terrell for 5,611 common shares (post-consolidated).

poker games software.  As a result, the Company developed its multi-player interactive poker games software which included Texas Hold'em, Seven and Five Card Stud, Guts Poker and Monte Carlo Guts (the “Gutspoker Software”).  During the third week of December, 2001, the Gutspoker Software was launched live on-line to the general public under the URL www.gutspoker.com.  No meaningful revenues were generated from the Gutspoker Software during the year 2002.  During 2002, the Company developed its own new generation multi-player interactive poker games software which was launched live on-line to the general public under the URL www.tigergaming.com.  Upon the live on-line launching of www.tigergaming.com, the Company discontinued using www.gutspoker.com.  During 2003 $0 was capitalized under software development, (2002: $Nil; 2001: $180,901).  Software development costs are capitalized once technical feasibility has been established and a market has been identified.  Such capitalized costs are amortized over the expected life of the product developed once it has been commercially released.   During 2003, amortization expenses of $36,180 were applied to the software development costs capitalized in the past (2002: $36,180; 2001: $Nil).  Improvements, modifications and enhancement of the Gaming Software are ongoing on a continual basis.

Results of Operations


All financial figures presented herein are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CDN $) unless otherwise specified.  The Company has developed and has built a Software for on-line multi-player interactive card games which is live on-line to the general public under the URL www.tigergaming.com.  The Company is continually enhancing and upgrading the Company’s Software.  Furthermore, the Company is developing new games which will be added to the Company’s existing Software portfolio.


2003 was a year that the Company made progress in many areas. Despite some challenging times, the Company continued to make significant strides as far as developing and positioning itself as an innovative multiplayer games software developer, provider and licensor.  The Company improved its operating infrastructure and the Company’s technical team expanded considerably with the addition of several programmers and other specialized staff.  The Company also opened up a fully staffed customer service operation centre in the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve in Quebec, Canada.


The Company is licensing its Software to several third party operators. For a list of all operators, please visit www.lvfh.com. Among these operators is “Real Time Gaming” (“RTG”), a leading software developer and provider of casino style games. Through RTG’s offshore subsidiary, the Company’s software was made available to RTG’s 50 plus licensees.


On July 25, 2003, all the parties to the lawsuits in respect to the Endzone Software settled all their differences by entering into an amicable out of court settlement and as a result these lawsuits were dismissed by consent.


The Company is presently not a party to any legal proceedings whatsoever.


During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company’s Antiguan subsidiary, Action, entered into a Net Revenue Sharing Agreement with Atlantis Casino On-Line N.V. (“Atlantis”) whereby Action acquired the ownership and operatorship of www.atlantisworldpoker.com and Atlantis acquired 35% of Action’s share of Net Revenues after deducting all server and bandwidth costs and fees, and all transaction related fees, costs, expenses and charge-backs for a purchase price of U.S. $1,000,000 (the “Net Revenue Sharing Agreement”) [See Exhibit *5.1 – Attached).

The increase in the Company’s operating expenses is due to the Company increasing its work force considerably and establishing an office for its Antiguan subsidiary, Action, in Kahnawake, Quebec.  The operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, rent, advertising and promotion, consulting fees, management fees, and, legal, accounting and audit fees.  


Salaries and benefit costs during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003 were $1,130,199 (2002: $828,290; 2001: $381,145).  Breakdown of Salaries and benefits are as follows:  Payroll $1,091,769; (2002: $796,230; 2001: $349,053).

During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company and its Antiguan subsidiary, Action, recorded revenues of $1,380,427 (2002: $375,608; 2001: Nil).  Furthermore, during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company dissolved, with the exception of Action Poker Gaming Inc., all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, namely, Endzone Inc., G.T. Enterprises Inc., Touchdown Inc., and Azat Investment LLC.

Effective March 6, 2003, David Horlington of Montreal, Canada resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company for personal reasons.  On May 12, 2003 Jack Aktorosyan of Montreal, Canada joined the Company’s Board of Directors.  Mr. Aktorosyan informed the Company that he will serve out the remainder of his term as a director but, for personal reasons, will not stand for re-election as a director of the Company at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on May 31, 2004.


At the Company’s Annual General Meeting of its Members, which was held on June 30, 2003 at the Company’s offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, the shareholders of the Company passed a resolution to fix the number of Directors at 5, elected Bedo H. Kalpakian, Jacob H. Kalpakian, Gregory T. McFarlane, Neil Spellman, and Jack Aktorosyan as Directors of the Company, appointed Smythe Ratcliffe, Chartered Accountants, as the Company’s Auditors for the ensuing year and authorized the Directors of the Company to fix the remuneration of the Company’s Auditors and, approved the Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan. (See Exhibit 5.3(a)* - Attached).


On February 4, 2003, the Company received notice from Grant, Thornton LLP, Chartered Accountants of Vancouver, British Columbia of their resignation as the Company’s auditors.  Smythe Ratcliffe, Chartered Accountants of Vancouver, British Columbia have agreed to be engaged as auditors of the Company.  Please see the Reporting Package required pursuant to National Policy 31 [Exhibit 1.5 - Incorporated by reference]

At the 2004 Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company which was held on May 31, 2004, the shareholders approved the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the Auditor’s report thereon; the election of Bedo H. Kalpakian, Jacob H. Kalpakian, Neil Spellman and Gregory T. McFarlane as Directors of the Company; the re-appointment of the Company’s Auditor, Smythe Ratcliffe, for the ensuing year and, the adoption of the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (See Exhibit 5.3* - Attached)  whereby the Company may reserve for granting to directors, officers, employees and consultants up to 11,290,154 of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.  The material terms of the 2004 Stock Option Plan are outlined in the Company’s Information Circular included with the Notice of Annual General Meeting (See Exhibit 1.6 – Incorporated by reference) which has been filed on www.Sedar.com .


These financial analyses address the results of operations in accordance with the financial statements prepared under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  A discussion of the differences between accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Canada and accounting principles and practices accepted in the United States and required by the S.E.C. is contained in Note 12 of the financial statements included in item 17 of this Annual Report.


To date, the Company’s revenues have not met the Company’s expenditures or capital requirements.  For 2004, the Company will require additional funds to conduct operations uninterruptedly.  The Company does not expect a meaningful increase in its revenues unless more resources are dedicated to marketing or until its Gaming Software is upgraded with a full suite of poker games as well as new products.  In order to meet this requirement, the Company intends to seek equity and/or debt financings through private placements and/or public offerings and/or loans and/or through the exercise of incentive stock options.  Alternatively, the Company might have to enter into a joint venture arrangement with another party should such party be prepared to provide the required financing to the Company, on acceptable terms and conditions.  In the past, the Company has been successful in securing equity and debt financings in order to conduct its operations uninterruptedly.  While the Company does not give any assurances whatsoever that in the future it will continue being successful in securing equity and/or debt financings in order to conduct its operations uninterruptedly, it is the Company’s intention to pursue these methods for future funding of the Company.

The Company’s business is not of a seasonal nature.


A major portion of the Company’s total revenues have been generated as a result of the Company’s Gaming Software.


While the Company’s Gaming Software has generated revenues over the nine most recent quarterly periods, Management does not believe that the Company has reached a stage whereby a general representative trend has been established for generating revenues, as the Company’s Gaming Software is still being updated to include additional products.


Item 5.B Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company has financed its operations mainly through private placements. The proceeds from the private placements were applied towards software development costs, continued enhancement of the Company’s software and general working capital.


On January 10 and on February 11, 2002, the Company completed the first and second tranche of the non-brokered Private Placement Financing which was announced on December 7 and 21, 2001.  The Company issued a total of 1,688,000 units at $0.20 per unit for total proceeds of $337,600.  Each unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant.  Each share purchase warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company for a period of two years from the closing date at the price of $0.35 per common share in the first year (which has expired) and at $0.70 per common share in the second year, which has also expired.  The Private Placement Financing shares which have been issued were subject to a hold period expiring May 9 and June 8, 2002 respectively. The funds received from this financing were expended towards software development and general working capital.


On February 1, 2002, the Company entered into agreements with two arm’s length third parties to issue convertible debentures, upon certain terms and conditions, for Principal amounts totalling $110,000 bearing compounded interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable quarterly.  The convertible debentures were supposed to become due and payable on February 1 and 4, 2003.  However, the convertible debentures were never issued as the agreements were terminated by mutual consent on April 17, 2002.

(a)

No governmental laws, decrees or regulations in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, restrict export or import of capital, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange controls, or affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Registrant's securities.

There are no limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote such securities imposed by foreign law or by the charter or other constituent document of the Registrant.


Item 10.E. Taxation


General


The following comments summarize the material Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Tax consequences for a shareholder of the Registrant who is a non-resident of Canada and who is a resident of the United States subject to taxation under the laws of the United States.  


The following is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and regulations thereunder, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and regulations thereunder, the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the "Convention"), the current administrative policies and practices published by Revenue Canada or by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and regulations thereunder that have been publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change.  The following does not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions of the United States or foreign jurisdictions.


The following does not address consequences peculiar to any holder subject to special provision of Canadian or U.S. income tax law.  Therefore, prospective holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc.


CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS


Dividends on Common Stock


Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to withholding tax at the rate of 25% on dividends from a corporation resident in Canada.  The Convention reduces this rate to 15% for a shareholder resident in the United States.  Withholding tax is further reduced to 5% if the United States resident shareholder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the corporation paying the dividend.                 


Exemptions from Withholding Tax


The Convention provides exemption from Canadian income tax on dividends paid to religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer or provide benefits under one or more pension, retirement or employee benefit funds or plans.  To qualify for exemption such organizations must be resident in the United States and be exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.


Dispositions of Common Stock


The following comments apply only to a shareholder whose Common stock constitutes capital property to him for purposes of the Income Tax Act.

 

33

 



Common stock will generally constitute capital property unless the holder is a trader or dealer in securities or is engaged in a venture in the nature of trade in respect of Common Stock.


Common stock of a resident public corporation will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if at any time in the preceding five (5) years, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Registrant belonged to the non-resident shareholder, persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arm's length, or to the non-resident shareholder and persons with whom the non-resident shareholder did not deal at arm's length.  A proposed amendment will change the resident public company criteria to shares of resident corporations listed on a prescribed stock exchange.


Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains from dispositions of taxable Canadian property and may deduct allowable capital losses from dispositions of taxable Canadian property.  If the shares are considered taxable Canadian property, the vendor may be required to withhold tax pursuant to section 116 of the Tax Act.


Upon disposal of capital property the amount, if any, by which a taxpayer's proceeds of disposition exceed or are exceeded by the adjusted cost base of the capital property (including expenses of disposition) represent the capital gain (or loss) on disposition of the capital property.  Three-fourths of the gain (the "taxable capital gain") is included in income and taxed at normal rates.  Three-fourths of the loss (the "allowable capital loss") can be deducted from taxable capital gains realized in the same year.  Pursuant to the Federal Budget which was announced on February 28, 2000, the taxable capital gain and allowable capital loss inclusion rate is to be reduced from three-fourths to two-thirds for dispositions after February 27, 2000. On October 18, 2000 the Federal Budget further reduced the inclusion rate from two-thirds to one-half for dispositions after October 17, 2000.  For dispositions of taxable Canadian property any excess of allowable capital losses over taxable capital gains becomes a "net capital loss" which can be carried to other years to reduce taxable capital gains from the disposition of such property.


The Convention gives protection to United States residents from Canadian tax on certain gains derived from the alienation of property.  There is no protection for a gain on a disposition of shares the value of which is derived principally from real property in Canada.  Protection under the Convention will be available as long as the Registrant remains a Canadian public corporation or its shares continue to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.


Revenue Canada has indicated that it considers the protection of the Convention with respect to capital gains extend to a "deemed disposition" under the Tax Act, including the "deemed disposition" arising upon the death of a taxpayer.


U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS


Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc. is classified as a Passive Foreign Investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes since the following conditions have applied for at least one taxable year since 1986:


1)  75% or more of its gross income has been passive;

2)  the average percentage of its assets producing passive income is at least 50%.


The following is intended to be a general description of the U.S. Federal income tax considerations material to a purchase of the common shares and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any prospective holders.  Prospective holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the common shares of Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc.


Since Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc. has satisfied the PFIC criteria for at least one taxable year since 1986, while a shareholder holds shares in Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc., it remains a PFIC as to that shareholder even if it no longer meets the income or asset test.  Classification as a PFIC will create U.S. Tax consequences to a U.S. Shareholder that are unique to the PFIC provisions and that are not encountered in other investments.


Generally, a U.S. shareholder will realize ordinary income on the receipt of cash dividends or property distributions from an investment in the shares of a foreign corporation to the extent such dividends are paid out of the foreign

 

 

34

 





company's current accumulated earnings and profits.  To the extent of any withholding taxes, both individual and corporate investors must include such taxes in income and, in turn, claim a foreign tax credit.  Certain corporate investors are also entitled to gross up the underlying foreign corporate income taxes and claim a foreign tax credit.


Thus, under the general rule, no U.S. federal income tax consequences occur until an actual dividend is paid.  Although this general rule can apply in a PFIC investment, there are significant deviations from this general rule and many elections available to a U.S. shareholder that can alter the U.S. federal income tax consequences.  Such consequences will be unique to each U.S. shareholder.


In the absence of any PFIC elections, a U.S. shareholder of a PFIC, will be taxed under the excess distribution method.  Under this method, where a current year dividend exceeds 125% of the average of dividends during the preceding three taxable years, the excess must be allocated rateably to each day in the taxpayer's holding period.


The amount of the excess allocated to the current year and to years when the corporation was not a PFIC is included in the shareholder's gross income for the year of the distribution.  The remainder of the excess is not included in gross income, but the U.S. shareholder must pay a deferred tax amount by allocating the remaining excess to all PFIC years, re-computing the tax for each PFIC year and computing and paying the resultant interest on the recomputed tax for each PFIC year.  As indicated above, foreign tax credit relief is available for withholding taxes for both individual and corporate investors.  Relief for underlying corporate tax is only available for certain corporate investors.


Under the excess distribution method, gain on the disposition of PFIC shares results in the same allocation process; gross income inclusion; tax re-computation; and interest charge as an excess distribution.


In lieu of the excess distribution method, a U.S. shareholder may elect to treat a PFIC as a Qualified Electing Fund ("QEF") and be taxed under the QEF method.  If that election is made, the U.S. shareholder will be taxed currently on its pro-rata share of the earnings of the QEF.  The current income inclusion eliminates the interest charge under the excess distribution method.  Thus, unlike the excess distribution method that requires the receipt of cash from an actual dividend or sale, the QEF method invokes taxation without the receipt of cash.


A shareholder that makes a QEF election may, or may not, remain subject to tax under the excess distribution method.  If the U.S. shareholder makes the QEF election for the foreign corporation's first tax year as a PFIC that is included in the shareholder's holding period, the excess distribution will not apply to the shareholder.  Thus, this type of shareholder will include its pro-rata share of PFIC earnings as a dividend, claim the appropriate foreign tax credit, and not face any interest charge.


If the shareholder makes the QEF election at a later time, in the absence of any other PFIC election, current taxation under the QEF method will apply prospectively.  However, the excess distribution method continues to apply prior to the effective date of the QEF election.


If the shareholder makes the QEF election at a later time, the shareholder has an additional option to make a purging election.  If a purging election is made, the PFIC stock would be treated as if it were sold and the gain treated as an excess distribution requiring:  a gross income inclusion; allocation to PFIC years in the shareholder's holding period, a tax recomputation for PFIC years in the shareholder's holding period; and an interest charge payment.  As a result of the purging election, thereafter the excess distribution method would not apply to that shareholder.


Under the QEF method, the U.S. shareholder has another option.  In lieu of paying the tax on its pro-rata share of PFIC earnings, the U.S. shareholder in a QEF on the last day of the QEF's tax year may elect to extend the time for payment of any of its undistributed PFIC earnings tax liability for the tax year.  If the election is made, the election is treated as an extension of time to pay tax and, thus, the U.S. shareholder is liable for interest.


In lieu of any of the above-described methods, since Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc. is regularly traded on a national securities exchange, U.S. shareholders may wish to make an election to mark to market.


A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC may make a mark to market election for marketable PFIC stock.  If the election is made, the shareholder includes in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the PFIC stock as of the close of the tax year over the shareholder's adjusted basis in the stock.  Decreases in market value are allowed as deductions, within certain prescribed limits.

 

 

35

 


 


Generally, under the mark to market election, the general PFIC rules under the excess distribution method and QEF method do not apply.  However, if the mark to market election is made after a U.S. shareholder has maintained its investment, there are provisions that ensure that the interest charge on amounts attributable to periods before the election is not avoided.


PERSONS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF CANADIAN, U.S. AND OTHER TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS


TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF LAS VEGAS FROM HOME.COM ENTERTAINMENT INC.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Las Vegas from Home.com Entertainment Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated February 1, 2002.


We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the two years then ended in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  Accounting principles generally accepted in Canada differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles in the United States of America and are discussed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS


In the United States of America, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated March 5, 2004, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001




1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN


These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a "going concern" basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to be in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.


The Company was previously involved in the exploration of mineral properties.  During 2003, the Company decided to write down its remaining mineral property to $0 (note 5) as it is no longer pursuing this activity.


The Company and its Antiguan subsidiary Action Poker Gaming Inc. (“Action”) are in the business of developing and marketing software for online multiplayer interactive card games.


During 2002, Action moved its operations from its location in Antigua to the facilities of Mohawk Internet Technologies Inc. ("Mohawk") which acts as its hosting facility for its servers, located on the Kahnawakee Mohawk Reserve ("Kahnawakee") in Canada.


Kahnawakee has reserve status in Canada, and has its own regulations and laws concerning interactive gaming.  These regulations allow the Kahnawakee Gaming Commission to issue a gaming licence to a third party authorizing the conduct of authorized games by means of a telecommunication device, including the Internet.  The law in Kahnawakee regarding on-line gaming has not yet been tested by Canadian legal authorities therefore the legality of this issue is inconclusive.


The Kahnawakee Gaming Commission issued to Action, an interactive gaming license to operate and exploit an Internet gaming facility, to be located at Mohawk for the period commencing November 1, 2002 and ending October 31, 2004 (note 11(a)).


The gaming and entertainment operations are carried on by the Company's Antiguan subsidiary.  Due to the nature of Internet gaming and payment by credit card the subsidiary cannot verify whether the customers are of a lawful age.  The expected principal revenues of the Company's Antiguan subsidiary will be from collecting rakes, licensing fees and royalties.  The subsidiary operates as an Internet host of card games and collects a fee as host (rake) and does not participate in the actual card games.


Although management believes that the conduct of Internet gaming related activities by its Antiguan  subsidiary represents a lawful business, there is the risk that the legality of the Internet gaming related activities may be challenged by Canadian or other legal authorities.  If the legality of the Internet gaming related activities are challenged and the challenge is sustained, it may have a material adverse impact on the financial affairs of the Company.

1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (Continued)


The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past three fiscal years.  In addition, the Company must raise significant capital to develop its business and to fund operation costs.  It is not certain that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise the required capital to continue its operations uninterruptedly.  Management’s efforts are directed at reducing overhead costs, increasing revenues and pursuing opportunities of merit for the Company.  It is the Company’s intention to pursue equity and debt financings in order to conduct its operations without interruption.


These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the "going concern" assumption were not appropriate because management believes that the actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubts about the validity of the "going concern" assumption used in preparing these financial statements.


If the "going concern" assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.


2.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.  As described in note 12, these principles differ in certain respects from those that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)

Principles of consolidation


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Las Vegas from Home.com Entertainment Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Action Poker Gaming Inc.  The Company’s other subsidiaries Touchdown Inc., Endzone Inc., G.T. Enterprises Inc. and Azat Investment LLC were dissolved in 2003.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.


(b)

Mineral properties


Mineral properties are recorded at cost.  The costs relating to a property abandoned were written off when the decision to abandon was made.

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(c)

Amortization


Amortization of property and equipment is calculated on the following bases and annual rates:


Software and development costs

-  30% Declining balance

Computer equipment

-  30% Declining balance


Software development costs are capitalized once technical feasibility has been established and a market has been identified.  Such capitalized costs are amortized over the expected life of the product developed once it has been commercially released or pro-rata based upon future revenue projection, whichever creates the greatest amortization expense.


(d)

Stock-based compensation plans


Effective January 2002, the Company adopted the new C.I.C.A. Handbook recommendation in accounting for its employee stock option plans.  Options granted to employees are accounted for using the intrinsic value method where compensation expense is recorded when options are granted at discounts to market.  Options granted to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method where compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model.


(e)

Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes revenues from licensees and customers on an accrual basis based on agreed terms of licences and contracts as the services are rendered, when collectibility is assured and no future obligation exists.  Revenues are earned from licensees based on rake splits established in licensee contracts and can vary depending on the licensee.


Allowances for non-collection of revenues are made when collectibility becomes uncertain.


(f)

Income taxes


The Company follows the liability method based on the accounting recommendations for income taxes issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.  Under the liability method future income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values, using the enacted income tax rates at each balance sheet date.  Future income tax assets can also result by applying unused loss carry-forwards and other deductions.  The valuation of any future income tax assets is reviewed annually and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(g)

Foreign currency translation


Amounts recorded in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:


(i)

Monetary assets, liabilities and long-term monetary assets and liabilities, at the rate of exchange in effect as at the balance sheet date;


(ii)

Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities; and


(iii)

Revenues and expenses (excluding amortization which is translated at the same rate as the related asset), at the rates in effect at the time of the transaction.


Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in net income.


(h)

Net loss per share


Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  The dilutive effect of options and warrants is not reflected in loss per share for 2003, 2002 and 2001 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.


(i)

Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.


4.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


(i)

Fair value


The carrying value of cash and term deposits, marketable securities, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to and from related parties and obligation under capital lease approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.


(ii)

Interest rate risk


The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and liabilities.


(iii)

Credit risk


The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable, however, risk on accounts receivable is minimized by the Company's large customer base.  The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk for accounts receivable.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)


(iv)

Translation risk


The Company translates the results of foreign operations into Canadian currency using  approximately the average exchange rate for the year.  The exchange rate may vary from time to time.  This risk is minimized to the extent that all non-Canadian source revenues and expenses are in US dollars.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)


During 2000, the Company helped develop and acquired, subject to a Source Code Escrow Agreement, ownership interest in certain software for multi-player interactive games.  The software was at a stage where it could be played for fun money when various disputes arose between the Company and the software developer during 2001.  As a result, the development of the software was halted.  During 2001, the Company wrote down the software by $156,724 and, during 2002 the Company wrote off the remaining $166,023.  The Company commenced legal action against the Software Developer seeking re-payment of a promissory note due to the Company for $25,000 plus interest.  Subsequently, the Company and two Directors were named defendants in a counterclaim for damages totalling $307,944.  On July 25, 2003, the parties to these lawsuits settled all their differences by entering into an amicable out of court settlement and as a result, these lawsuits were dismissed by consent.


During 2001, the Company commenced developing its own multi-player interactive card games software.  The amount of $180,901 has been capitalized under software and development costs.  Amortization commenced in 2002 as the software was commercially released during the year.

Stock options


The Company applies the Intrinsic Value Method in accounting for its stock options granted to employees, and accordingly in 2003, compensation expense of $143,128 (2002 - $0; 2001 - $0) was recognized as salaries expense.  The Company applies the Fair Value Method in accounting for its stock options granted to consultants, and accordingly, compensation expense of $171,305 (2002 - $0; 2001 - $0) was recognized as consulting expense.  The total amount in 2003 of $314,433 (2002 - $0; 2001 - $0) is reflected as contributed surplus on the consolidated balance sheets.


Had compensation expense for stock options granted to employees been determined under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option - pricing model, the pro-forma effect on the Company's net loss and per share amounts would have been as follows:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES


(a)

On April 30, 2003 the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  Statement 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to Statement 133 in its entirety, or as hybrid instruments with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features.  In addition, Statement 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative by providing guidance on the meaning of initial net investments related to derivatives.  Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.  The Company believes the adoption of Statement 149 will not have any effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


(b)

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) which differ in certain respects from those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with principles and practices generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).


Under US GAAP, the accounting treatment would differ as follows:


1.

Exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  As a result, under US GAAP there is greater expense in earlier periods and fewer write-downs in subsequent periods than under Canadian GAAP.


2.

The value of marketable securities is recorded at market value.  The value recorded under Canadian GAAP is the lower of cost and market.


For US GAAP purposes unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities available for sale are recorded as a separate item in the stockholders’ equity section as other comprehensive income.  For Canadian GAAP gains and losses are only recognized in the income statements when realized.
