Auditors' Report


To the Shareholders of

GameState Entertainment, Inc.

(formerly LanWerX Entertainment, Inc. and Luna Medical Technologies, Inc.)



We have audited the balance sheets of GameState Entertainment, Inc. (formerly LanWerX Entertainment, Inc. and Luna Medical Technologies, Inc) as at March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity/(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. 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.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the generally accepted auditing 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.


In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.


The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations.  These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2004






1.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS


GameState Entertainment, Inc. (formerly LanWerX Entertainment, Inc. and before that Luna Medical Technologies, Inc.), (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 19, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of engaging in any lawful activity under the name Luna Technologies, Inc.  On May 31, 1999 the Company amended its articles of incorporation to reflect the name change to Luna Medical Technologies, Inc.  On May 19, 2003, the company changed its name to LanWerX Entertainment, Inc. and on September 24, 2003 changed its name to GameState Entertainment, Inc.


On September 23, 2003 the Company acquired all the assets, goodwill, trademarks, and intellectual property of the Netopia Internet Café, a computer LAN game centre with 50 high-speed computer terminals and each having the latest game software.  Netopia had been operating on the campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada since January 2002.  The Company acquired all the assets in exchange for 800,000 common shares, with a deemed value of $200,000.  Soon after acquiring Netopia, the gaming was closed and the assets will be used in a different venue.


The financial statements include all activity of the Company.  


As a result of the change in business cumulative from inception figures have not been presented as management does not consider that these figures would provide meaningful information.

 

The Company maintains an office in Vancouver, British Columbia.  The Company has elected a fiscal year-end of March 31.




2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are a representation of the Company’s management  which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.



(i)

Accounting Method


The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.



(ii)

Equipment


Equipment is recorded at historical cost.  Amortization is calculated by the declining balance method at the following annual rates:


Computer equipment

30%

Computer software

20%

Office equipment

20%


Amortization excludes any assets not in current use.


(iii)

Goodwill


Goodwill and any other long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company are continually reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators as nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present.  In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss will be recognized.



(iv)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts.  



(v)

Loss Per Share


Basic loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding.  Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.


(vi)

Provision for Taxes


At March 31, 2004, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $1,326,000 that may be offset against operating income through 2017.  No provision for taxes or tax benefits has been reported in the financial statements as there is not a measurable means of assessing future profits or losses.



(vii)

Use of Estimates


The process of preparing financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.



(viii)

Advertising


Advertising costs are charged to operations in the year incurred.



(ix)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.



(x)

Derivative Instruments


At March 31, 2004, the Company had not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.



(xi)

Compensated Absences


The Company has no employees.  At such time as the Company hires personnel, its employees will be entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days, and personal days off depending on job classification, length of service, and other factors.  The Company’s policy will be to recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.


(xii)

Foreign Currency Transactions


All figures presented are in US dollars.  Monetary assets and liabilities of the company which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year-end exchange rates.  Other assets and liabilities are translated at rates in effect at the date the assets were acquired and liabilities incurred. Foreign currency transactions are translated to US dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction.



(xiii)

Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $425,555 and has negative working capital for the year ended March 31, 2004.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.  Management intends to seek additional capital from new debt and equity issuances that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth, and fully implement its business plan.



(xiv)

Financial Instruments


All significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to the fair value has been disclosed.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K. Descriptions of all documents incorporated by reference herein or included as exhibits hereto are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents so incorporated or referenced. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those under “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results” and elsewhere in this report.


Executive Summary and Outlook for Fiscal Year 2004


During the fiscal year 2003, we made substantial progress in developing our strategy for a young adult-focused entertainment business, completing our business plans, and many of the strategic alliances required to move forward. We established the corporate head-office in Vancouver, BC, Canada in March 2004  A number of key management changes and additions have been made in strategic areas to establish the executive, creative, buying and planning teams necessary to execute the successful selection and presentation of young adult-focused entertainment to gain target consumer acceptance. We continue to believe that with the acquisition strategies identified revenues from online and on-location entertainment sales should begin to be demonstrated in the second half of fiscal 2004. Gamestate will be conducting business under its “doing business as” name Why Entertainment Corporation


In February 2004 Gamestate secured under contract its new President, CEO Rod Bartlett an experienced entrepreneur and business developer. The existing President Cameron King, MBA stepped into the role of CFO. In keeping with the business plan the company launched the whyentertainment.com Web site, and started development on the whyplay.com Website. Following is a synopsis of our principal operational activities:

 


whyentertainment.com

An online destination promoting the overall business strategy and components of Why Entertainment the operating arm of Gamestate.

 

 

whyplay.com

A development stage portal of an online destination for individuals 18 to 25 seeking entertainment in the form of music, video and games.


The company continue its drive into the entertainment segment through ongoing business relationships it the field of location based entertainment for the purposes of planning and development of the “Y” clubs.  The Company continues search for potential partners to establish and convert existing facilities located throughout North America and Europe.

Management expects revenues to be produced in 2004 under the whyplay.com web-portal using a similar model to that of www.ugo.com, www.alloy.com and www.ivillage.com incorporating games, music and licensed products through a variety of sources.

Net Revenues


Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased 1225% to $1225 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $0.00 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2003.


Direct Marketing Revenues. There were no Direct Marketing Revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 nor for the period ending March 31, 2003.


Retail Stores Revenues. Retail stores revenues totaled $1225.00 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The retail revenue was generated from Netopia’s single retail gaming centre during the year.


Sponsorship and Other Revenues. There were no Sponsorship and Other Revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 nor for the period ending March 31, 2003.


Cost of Revenues


There were no Cost of Revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 nor for the period ending March 31, 2003.


Total Operating Expenses


Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of a flyer produced to promote Netopia on a one time basis.


As a percentage of total revenues, our selling and marketing expenses increased from 0.00% in fiscal 2003 to 13% in fiscal 2004.


General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for our executive, administrative, finance and management personnel, as well as support services and professional service fees. These expenses increased from $156 thousand in the twelve months ended March 31, 2003 to $427 thousand in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily was driven by:

   

 

• 

the impairment of goodwill;

 

  

 

• 

increased expenses associated with growing a public company such as professional fees, insurance premiums, occupancy costs due to office expansions, and telecommunications costs.


Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased significantly in the fiscal 2004, due primarily to the addition of revenues.


Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets was approximately $12 thousand in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with nil in the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in amortization expense resulted from our acquisition activities during the last twelve months.


Loss from Operations


Total Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations was $426 thousand in fiscal 2004 while our loss from operations was $156 thousand in fiscal 2003. The increases in operating loss are primarily due to the impairment of Goodwill, write down of equipment and increased corporate expenses.


Income Tax Benefit (Expense)


In the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 we recorded loss carry-forwards of $425,555 though this amount may be affected by the impairment of losses. In the twelve months ended March 31, 2003 we recorded loss carry-forwards of $156,170 due to the taxable loss generated in the year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We have financed our operations to date primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities as we generated negative cash flow from operations prior to fiscal 2003 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. At March 31, 2004, we had approximately $1250 of prepaids. Our principal commitments at March 31, 2004 consisted of the Debentures, accounts payable, bank loans, accrued expenses, and shareholders loans.


Net cash used in operating activities was ($33,949) in fiscal 2004 compared with net cash used in operating activities of ($175,830) in fiscal 2003. The reduced cash usage was primarily due to the acquisition of Netopia and the reflection of the shares issued for assets valued at $200,000.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $122,488 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 compared with $175,830 of cash provided by financing activities in the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The cash provided by financing activities in the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 was due primarily to a $78,353 of net borrowings under a loan agreement from a private company. In the twelve months ended March 31, 2003, net cash used in financing activities of $172,879 resulted primarily from shareholders.


Our liquidity position as of April 30, 2004 is one of illiquidity. We expect our future liquidity position to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, for at least the next 24 months, excluding the impact of any potential, as yet unannounced acquisitions, by raising capital. Since the cash generated from our operations is insufficient to satisfy our cash needs, we are required to raise additional capital. Because we will raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Furthermore, additional financing may not be available when we need it or, if available, financing may not be on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. If financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services. In addition, we may be unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
