SUMMARY OF OUR OFFERING

Our Business

Since October 2000, we have been in the start-up stage. We have developed and tested a game called Trivia Bingo which will be played on our Internet website. We have developed and tested our game, but we have not started revenue generating operations.

We have net accumulated losses of $16,153,430 for December 31, 2002 through our most recent auditing period and net accumulated losses of $16,541,338 through September 30, 2003, our most recent interim stub period. We have assets of $243,853. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements.

We are controlled by two individuals who devote only part of their time to our operations and have no experience in the Internet game industry. We expect to need additional capital beyond what is raised by this offering. We have no agreements to provide advertising on our website and accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate revenues in the future.

Our administrative office is located at 488 Huron Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5R 2R3 and our telephone number is (416) 281-3335 Our fiscal year end is December 31.

RISK FACTORS

Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.

Risks associated with Firstbingo:

  1. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion and because our officers and directors will not loan any money to us, we may not be able to achieve our objectives and many have to suspend or cease operations.

    Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. Because our officers and directors are unwilling to loan or advance any additional capital to us, we believe that if we do not raise at least $150,000 from our offering, we may have to suspend or cease operations within four months.

  2. We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future.
  3. We were incorporated in 1990 as Vista Medical Terrace. In May 1999, we changed our business purpose to Internet Trivia and television Trivia Bingo. We have made plans and spent money developing and testing our Internet Trivia Bingo game, but have not had the capital to start actual operations. The Internet website where the game is located does not contain any advertising, and although it is available for revenue generating operations, is not generating any revenues from operation at this time. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $16,541,338. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon

 

 

-6-


*

our ability to complete our plan of operations

*

our ability to locate customers who will participate in our games

*

our ability to locate people who will buy advertising from us

*

our ability to generate revenues

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. We anticipate that our operating losses in year 2003 will be approximately $550,000. This will happen because there are expenses associated with starting operations. The expenses are related to running day to day operations, development, and marketing our products. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.

  1. We have to generate interest in our website after we have obtained advertisers. If we can't do that, we will not generate revenues and will have to go out of business.

    We will sell space to advertisers in order to generate revenues. Although we have tested our web-site, we have no advertisers. Since we have no advertisers, we are not generating revenues. In order to attract advertisers, we believe we will have to show them that their advertising will be viewed by customers. Our customers will be individuals who have discovered our website via search engines, by word of mouth from other players, and by players who participated in our test. In order to attract advertisers and customers, we have budgeted $1,970,000 for promoting our website to potential customers and advertisers. We plan to spend the money for marketing. Our success depends on our ability to generate significant interest in our website. If we cannot generate the interest in our website, we will not be able to generate revenues and we will have to go out of business.

  2. Our business plan has not been implemented. If it is not implemented, we will cease operations.

    While we have plans to conduct operations, as of the date hereof we have not initiated or implemented our proposed business in any manner other than the discussion of its proposed business plan and preparation in anticipate of operations beginning. If our plan is not implemented, we will have to cease operations.

  3. We are dependent upon an outside technology supplier. If it cease operations or is unwilling to provide services to us, we may have to cease operations.

    We are dependent upon an outside technology supplier for the preparation and creation of our web site and Trivia Bingo game. We have selected MENTE, Inc. as our technology supplier. It is obligated to maintain our website for the balance of 2003. The unavailability of such services may cause us to cease operations.

 

 

-7-


  1. Because our officers and directors will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of operations.

    Because our officers and directors will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to our officers and directors. Mr. Wachter our president and chief financial officer will be devoting 40% of his time to our operations and Mr. Sheppard our chief executive officer and secretary will be devoting 25% of his time to our operations. We have no employees besides Messrs Wachter and Sheppard and we have no current intention of hiring additional personnel in the immediate future. Once the website is generating revenues, we intend to subcontract the website operations to an independent third party operator who has not been designated at this time.

  2. Your investment will be immediately diluted which means that the book value of your shares will be less than what you paid for them.

    Your investment will be immediately diluted from the $0.6625 offering price to $0.03 if 25% of the shares are sold or to $0.16 if 100% of the shares are sold. These means that the book value of your shares will be substantially less than what you paid for them. Book value is what you would receive for your shares if we were liquidated.

Risks associated with this offering:

  1. Because there is a limited public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell you stock.

    There is currently a limited public trading market for our common stock on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol FBGO. Therefore the sale of a small amount of stock could cause the market price of the common stock to go down. If the price goes down to zero, you may be unable to sell your shares or you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale.

  2. Because there is no minimum number of shares that must be sold, we will not refund any money to you even if we don't raise enough money to start operations.

    There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering, even if we raise a nominal amount of money. Any money we receive will be immediately appropriated by us. We may not raise enough money to start revenue generating operations. We believe that we will need $500,000 from this offering to do so. Under no circumstances will any money be refunded to you. If we cannot raise enough money from this offering to begin generating revenues, we will cease operations permanently or until such time as we have adequate funds to start revenue generating operations.

 

 

-8-


  1. Because we are a penny stock, you may not be able to resell your shares.

    Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because we are a penny stock, you may not be able to resell your shares. This is because the Exchange Act and the penny stock rules impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than accredited investors. As a result, fewer broker/dealers are willing to make a market in our stock.

Web-site development

FirstBingo's web-based Trivia Bingo game is a sponsor driven web-site that generates its revenue through advertising revenue. As such, the web site requires constant updating to meet the needs and requirements of the various regional, national and international sponsors and advertisers. This requires significant technical expertise as well in order to ensure the delivery of the game over the internet. In addition, the manner in which the game is presented over the Internet is constantly changing requiring constant technical updates and reviews. The website is complete. Furthermore, new technical configurations for the game must be designed and implemented for each new sponsor or advertiser. The website is currently completed. Configurations for advertisers will have to be made as we acquire advertisers. The cost of the initial configuration for an advertiser will be included in the initial advertising fee. We will charge additional fees for subsequent reconfigurations.

Game development

The development of the TriviaBingo game consists of several different but complimentary facets. FirstBingo is currently developing the web-based TriviaBingo game, a TriviaBingo CD game, TriviaBingo video terminals and a television game show designed around the trivia bingo format currently being utilized on the web. The web-based TriviaBingo game is the most developed at this stage, however constant changes and refinements are needed to ensure the best delivery of the game to internet users. In addition, given the continual changes to the internet, there are constant technical and artistic changes necessary. FirstBingo intends to expend a portion of its proceeds to further develop the TriviaBingo CD and Video Game terminal game technologies. Both the TriviaBingo CD and Video Game terminals are in a pre-development phase and will be immediately advanced to the development and production phase once the investment proceeds are raised. Over the next several months, FirstBingo will continue to develop its TriviaBingo television game-show. FirstBingo will use a portion of the investment proceeds to complete a television game-show pilot for marketing and promotional purposes. FirstBingo will use further investment proceeds to produce 26 - 30 minute television TriviaBingo game show episodes for resale to network syndication groups.

Independent consultants have advised us that the costs related to the production and development of the television TriviaBingo game show are estimated to be $12,000,000.

Marketing

Marketing and promotional expenses are expected to be significant in the early stages of the development of the various TriviaBingo products. In addition, once the products are in their final stage of development, further marketing and promotional expenses will be incurred in order to continue to attract advertisers and sponsors.

The marketing of the online products, television and other properties will require numerous ongoing support initiatives and web-enabled upgrades, for example:

 

1.

We intend to launch a pay-for-play WAP (Wireless Application Program) enabling our game to be played on a cell phone.

 

2.

We intend to continue to market our Internet Trivia Bingo to multi media user [newspaper, television and internet] providers as a convergence tool in order to drive traffic from one media channel to another within a closed distribution network.

 

3.

We intend to sell this product to small to medium-sized corporations operating only in the Internet medium. Initially, sales initiatives will take place in majority market so as to maximize potential returns, however, the application once proven we believe has substantial versatility in small and medium markets, as we have the ability to direct target marketing campaigns on focused groups.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Our common stock is traded on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol FBGO. The price of the shares has been determined by our board of directors. It was selected because it is close to the current ask price for our shares of common stock. If the best asked price drops below of the offering price in this registration statement, we will have difficulty selling our shares. That is because a purchaser could buy the same shares of common stock in an open market transaction at a lower price that he could in this offering.

*   Included in this table are 24,485,406 shares of common stock issued subsequent to the financial statements. The stock was issued as a stock dividend to shareholders of record on November 14, 2003 on the basis of three (3) additional shares of common stock for each one (1) share outstanding.


DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

As of September 30, 2003 the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of $(935,975) or approximately $(0.03) per share based upon 31,828,500 shares outstanding.

Assuming an offering price of $0.6625 per share

If 100% of the Shares Are Sold:

Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 43,828,500 shares to be outstanding will be $6,941,625, or approximately $0.16 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.19 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.6625 per share to $0.16 per share.

-18-


Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.

Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

BUSINESS

History

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 30, 1990, as Vista Medical Terrace, Inc. to engage in the business of medical software.

On March 8, 1997, we forward split our shares of common stock on a 92 for 1 basis.

On May 26, 1999, we changed our name from Vista Medical Terrace to FirstBingo.com and changed our business to Internet Trivia and television Trivia Bingo.

Since then we have developed itswebsite; developed its Trivia Bingo game; developed a CD Rom version of its Trivia Bingo game; and, tested our Trivia Bingo game.

On June 28, 1999, we forward split its shares of common stock on a 2 for 1 basis.

On December 31, 2001, we reverse split our shares on the basis of 1 for 25.

On November 24, 2003 we distributed a stock dividend on three (3) additional shares of common stock for each one (1) shares of common stock outstanding. The record date for the stock dividend was November 14, 2003.

General

We have developed a game called "Trivia Bingo" and website to play Trivia Bingo. Trivia Bingo is played over the Internet and will be free to all participants. We recently tested and are continuing to test Trivia Bingo on our website. We have not generated any revenues and will not generate any revenues until we begin to sell advertising space on Trivia Bingo to advertisers. We have not generated any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. The sale of advertising space on Trivia Bingo is how we will generate revenues.

Trivia Bingo

Trivia Bingo is divided into two divisions. One division is an Internet Trivia Bingo game played on the Internet. The other will be a television game show. The Internet game is operational, though not generating revenues. The television game show is only conceptual.

The Internet Trivia Bingo allows registered users to compete for a variety of prize and cash giveaways. Current prizes consist of clocks, mouse pads, CD cases, watches, stress balls and caps. We gave away one automobile as part of our test of the website. Mr. Richard Wachter personally financed the cost of prizes to the test participants. In the future, we will provide the prizes at our own expense. There is no cost to a player. If and when the television show becomes operational, three Internet Trivia Bingo players will qualify to appear on the television game show.

 

 

-20-


We recently completed the development of a Beta version of our Internet Trivia Bingo game and Trivia Bingo is now operational on the Internet. Upon receipt of funds from this offering, we will refine and revise our software application. Thereafter, we will begin recruiting advertisers to the website. Our main website is at www.FirstBingo.com. We also maintain a second website at www.triviabingo.com which is used as a feeder page to the main website.

Registration for Internet Bingo

Players already registered with us will click on the "Player" icon and when prompted enter their user name and password. New players will be prompted to click on the "New Player" icon to register as a new player. Players must register in order to be eligible for the cash and prize giveaways and to qualify for an opportunity to participate in television Trivia Bingo.

The Website

Our website is accessible to customers with a minimum hardware configuration consisting of a 486 personal computer with Windows 95 or greater, with 16 MB RAM, 20 MB free hard disk space, a 14,400 modem and a direct PPP Internet connection. All games are provided in a Windows-based, menu driven format with "point and click" interactively.

We monitor the play of Trivia Bingo over the Internet. Our website allows customers to review all terms, rules and conditions applicable to Trivia Bingo and other uses at the site.

Game Instructions

Creating the Bingo Card

Once a new or existing player has logged on to the web-site, a Bingo card is created. The card contains five columns under the letters B I N G O. Each column contains five squares which contain random numbers.

To assist a player in achieving a BINGO, all of the squares in the 3rd row and all of the squares in the column under the letter "N" are covered squares. However, unlike traditional Bingo, the squares are not covered with pennies or blotters, but rather with an advertiser's logo. Advertising logos form what is known as the "Magic Cross". The "Magic Cross" effectively divides the BINGO card into four separate quadrants.

We randomly generate additional squares that contain an advertiser's logo in each of the four quadrants. The random generation of additional covered squares (i.e. squares that contain an advertiser's logo) result in an instant cash or prize giveaway to the player. After the random generation of additional squares occurs, all of the squares that form a BINGO line (i.e. a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line) could be occupied with an advertiser's logo in which case the player is an instant winner. This is known as an Instant Win Card.

If the player does not have an Instant Win Card , the player moves to the Trivia Challenge phase of the game.

 

 

-21-


Trivia Challenge

Correctly answering a trivia question allows a player to convert an open square (a square that does not contain an advertiser's logo) to a covered square (a square containing an advertiser's logo). By covering certain squares the player can achieve a Bingo. A Bingo is achieved when the covered squares (a square containing an advertiser's logo) form a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line. Each time a Bingo is achieved the player is credited with 1,000 FirstBingo points.

To convert an open square to a covered square, the player selects the open square of his or her choice by clicking on it with the mouse.

The trivia question associated with the selected open square is revealed. The player is now given 15 seconds to select the correct answer from four multiple choice answers. The answer is chosen by clicking on the chosen response with the mouse. If the answer is right the number on the open square is replaced by an advertiser's logo (indicating a covered square). If the answer is incorrect, the open square will remain open and the player will receive one strike. If the player gets three strikes before achieving a full card, the game ends. A player may receive multiple Bingos on one card. Each Bingo will result in the player receiving 1,000 FirstBingo points. A player may also receive advertiser's points for converting an open square to a covered square. Advertiser's points may be exchanged for various prize giveaways.

If the Player answers all of the trivia questions correctly before getting three strikes, he or she attains a full card. If a player obtains a full card, he will receive bonus points in addition to the 1,000 FirstBingo points awarded for each Bingo.

Cash and Prize Giveaways

The points a player receives qualify the player for the opportunity to win cash or prize giveaways. A player can also win an instant cash or prize giveaway if an Instant Win Card is randomly generated at the start of the game.

Compatibility

Our Internet Trivia Bingo utilizes a Macro Media-based front-end, which means, unlike numerous other websites, no download is required. Using Macro Media(TM) technology, download time is less than 10 seconds and there is no special installation procedure.

By utilizing Macro Media(TM) technology, Internet Trivia Bingo will be compatible on MacIntosh, Windows 95/98/2000, Windows NT, Linux and future WebTV computers.

TV Trivia Bingo

Internet Trivia Bingo players qualify by achieving high points ratings to participate as players on TV Trivia Bingo. TV Trivia Bingo is played in front of a live studio audience. The show will be taped and sold to public or pay television networks. As of the date hereof, we have not developed the television program, taped any shows or entered into negotiations with any television stations or sponsors for the production of TV Trivia Bingo. Further, there is no assurance that TV Trivia Bingo will ever be developed, produced or sold to any television networks. If we receive funding from this offering, we believe it will take 6 weeks to prepare the pilot and 3 months to sell the show. Accordingly, it will be 4 to 5 months before the show appears on television. There is no assurance, however, that any television network will broadcast the show. On April 3, 2001, we entered into a licensing agreement with Tesauro S.A., a corporation located in Spain, wherein we granted it the right to produce and distribute the Trivia Bingo Game in a television show format in consideration of $10,000. The territory covered by the license is Spain. The term of the license is 3 years and is renewable for an additional 3 year period unless either party, upon 60 days written notice, decides not to renew.

Revenues

First and foremost we are an advertiser/sponsor supported website. We plan to generate revenues from the sale of advertising space (i.e. advertiser's logos) which appear on the Internet Trivia Bingo squares and from the sponsorship of TV Trivia Bingo. As of the date hereof, we have not sold any advertising space on its Internet web site nor have we secured any sponsorship for our proposed television program. There is no assurance that we will ever sell any advertising on our web site or secure any sponsorship for our television program.

In addition, we plan to generate revenues from the sale of our Trivia Bingo CD Game and Trivia Bingo Video Terminals. The Trivia Bingo Video Terminals may also generate significant royalty income.

Trivia Bingo CD Game

We are developing a CD game version of Internet Trivia Bingo. The CD game version will be similar to the Internet Trivia Bingo version. No cash or prize giveaways will be awarded to players of the CD game. The CD game is in a conceptual stage. We do not know if and when the CD will be created or when a prototype will be started. No CD's have been developed as of the date of this prospectus. We do not know what the cost of production will be or when the CD game will be available sale. There is no assurance that any CDs will every be created or sold.

Trivia Bingo Video Terminals

We are in the final phase of development of two Trivia Bingo Video Terminal test models (a Trivia Bingo Video Terminal and a Slot Machine Video Terminal). The Trivia Bingo Video Terminal will be designed to permit players to play the Trivia Bingo game directly on the Video Terminal. The game will be identical to the Internet Trivia Bingo game.

 

 

-23-


The second test model, the Slot Machine Video Terminal will be a stand-alone slot machine featuring Bingo. The Trivia Bingo card will be created in essentially the same fashion as the Bingo card in Internet Trivia Bingo, other than a covered square will be shaded red (as opposed to containing an advertiser's logo) and an open square will be shaded in blue. The "Magic Cross" effectively divides the Bingo card into four separate quadrants. Each quadrant will contain four Bingo squares containing a specific number. The four squares in each of the four quadrants will be shaded in either red or blue depending upon whether the BINGO number that appears in the square is an appropriate number for the proper BINGO letter (i.e. a number from 1-15 under the letter B, a number from 16-30 under the letter I, a number from 31-45 under the letter N a number from 46-60 under the letter G or a number from 61-75 under the letter O). The Slot Machine Video Terminal computer will randomly spin the squares in each of the four quadrants. When the spinning stops, if the BINGO number in the square is under the appropriate letter the square will be shaded red indicating a covered square. If the number in the square is not under the appropriate letter the square will be shaded blue indicating an open square. Depending upon the positioning of the numbers when the spinning stops, the player may have no Bingos or possibly one or more Bingos. A Bingo is achieved every time a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line contains all shaded red squares (i.e. the proper Bingo number is under the proper letter). The number of Bingos that are created at the time the spinning stops will dictate the payout on the Slot Machine Video Terminal. The Video Terminals are in a conceptual stage. We do not know if and when Video Terminals will be created or when a prototype will be started. No Video Terminals have been developed as of the date of this prospectus. We do not know what the cost of production will be or when the Video Terminals will be available for sale. There is no assurance that any Video Terminals will ever be created or sold.

Manufacturing of the CDs and Video Terminals

We are in preliminary discussions with a number of potential manufacturers of the CD Trivia Bingo game and the Trivia Bingo Video Terminals. At this time it is not possible to comment with any degree of certainty on the cost of production of either the CD Trivia Bingo game or the Trivia Bingo Video Terminals. Additionally, it is not possible to comment with any degree of certainty on the projected selling prices of either the CD Trivia Bingo game or the Trivia Bingo Video Terminals. Further, there is no assurance that the CD Trivia Bingo game or the Trivia Bingo Video Terminals will ever be developed, produced or sold.

Marketing

We expect that a significant portion of our initial expenses will be related to advertising and marketing. We anticipate using banner advertising featuring hot links on strategic Internet portal and search engine sights such as Hotmail, Yahoo and Alta Vista. Each of these sites boasts more than one million visits each day and will prove an invaluable source to generate awareness of our Internet Trivia Bingo game. Advertising in traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, billboards, etc. will also be an important facet of the advertising and marketing program.

As of the date hereof, we have not initiated any research to determine the parameters of its advertising or the medium which it may choose

 

 

-24-


Competition

We will compete with other companies marketing trivia related entertainment products and services and companies offering games of skill involving the answer of trivia questions. Millionaire and Jeopardy will be our initial competitors.

We compete with other companies that have websites that advertise on a game or on a site while a game is being played.

We expect to encounter significant competition from existing advertiser/sponsor-supported web-sites. Many of our existing and potential competitors have or may have, as the case may be, greater capital and other resources than we do and may choose to adopt a marketing plan similar to that proposed by us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate meaningful revenues or earnings from our proposed Trivia Bingo operations or otherwise successfully compete in the future.

Our advertisers pay us fees for the number of hits to our website. The more websites that compete with us, the fewer the hits to our website. The more distractions away from our website, the fewer the hits to our website. Fewer hits result in lower revenues. We cannot ensure that customers will hit our website rather than other websites offering similar gaming products on the Internet. Interest in a website is a personal thing. If a player likes our website and the game and prizes it offers, he will play it. If the player does not like our game, the player will find another website that will satisfy his desire for amusement. We hope that the configuration of our website and the prizes it offers will attract players to it and away from other websites.

Software

In order to initiate the development of Trivia Bingo, we have retained the services of Mente Incorporated. Mente Incorporated is an Ontario based software development company. The software to run Trivia Bingo on the Internet will be our exclusive property and Mente Incorporated will have no proprietary interest in the software. Mente Incorporated is being retained on a non-exclusive basis only to provide software development support.

Testing

We estimate that our web-site will be fully developed and commercialized prior to the end of fourth quarter 2003, provided we complete this offering. Standard beta testing of the web-site will take place but is not anticipated to be onerous given the relatively simple nature of the game

Government Regulation

Bingo activities are regulated in the United States and most developed countries and are based upon policies that are concerned with, among other things, (i) the prevention of unsavory or unsuitable persons from having a direct or indirect involvement with bingo; (ii) the establishment and maintenance of responsible accounting practices and procedures; (iii) the maintenance of effective controls over the financial practices of licensees, including the establishment of minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenues, providing reliable record keeping and requiring the filing of periodic reports with the governing jurisdictions; (iv) the prevention of cheating and fraudulent practices; and (v) the provision of a source of government revenue through taxation and licensing fees.

At the present time, we believe that the Trivia Bingo game would not be prohibited in North America or most other foreign jurisdictions since the game is actually a game of skill as opposed to a game of chance. Furthermore, the Trivia Bingo game we promote does not require the player to advance any consideration in order to play. However, bingo over the Internet is a new industry and some or all of the countries in which Trivia Bingo will be played may take action to more severely regulate or even prohibit Internet bingo operations in their jurisdictions.

We believe that as of the date of this prospectus, many federal and state prosecutorial agencies in the United States have taken the position that the provision of Internet bingo services to residents of the United States is subject to existing federal and state laws which generally prohibit the provision of bingo opportunities, except where licensed or subject to exemption. This may include games which require the player to risk nothing but his time.

We understand that many providers of Internet bingo services to citizens and residents of the United States have taken the position that existing federal and state laws pertaining to the provision of bingo opportunities do not apply to Internet bingo services. In 1997, legislation was introduced to the United States Senate and House of Representatives (the Kyle bill) which, if enacted, would effectively amend the Federal Wire Statute, codified at 18 U.S.C. 1084, to prohibit Internet bingo operations to residents of the United States. (Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 1997; S. 474 and H.R. 2380). Our policy will be not to offer our Internet bingo services to citizens or residents of any jurisdiction that prohibits such activities, and to otherwise endeavor to comply with laws pertaining to bingo.

On March 21, 2000 we entered into a Debenture Agreement in favor of Ampang Investments Ltd. to secure a line of credit in the sum of $750,000.00. Ampang Investments Ltd. is owned by an officer of the Company.

On September 21, 2000 we issued to Ampang Investments Ltd. 4,000,000 restricted shares of common stock for the following purposes:

*     consulting services related to the development and ongoing maintenance of the Internet Trivia Bingo game;
*     consulting services related to the development of the TV Trivia Bingo game show concept;
*     consulting services related to the production of the TV Trivia Bingo game show pilot;
*     design and invention of TV Trivia Bingo; marketing and advertising support; and
*     investor relations and related services.

On December 31, 2001, we effected a 1 for 25 reverse stock split that resulted in the 4,000,000 shares of common stock issued to Ampang, converting to 160,000 shares of common stock.

On January 2, 2002, Ampang converted the debenture to 719,094 shares of common stock.

On July 15, 2003 we purchased all the intellectual property and trade marks from Ampang Investments Inc. for 6,000,000 shares of common stock. The cost basis of the intellectual property and trademarks was $138,000. This is the cost basis of the shares Ampang used to purchase the property in 2000. The historical cost is used as Ampang is considered a related party.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or out predictions.

We are a start-up stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. We have, however, received a license fee in the amount of $10,000 from Tesauro S.A. The fee was not generated from the operation of our website, but was a licensing fee paid by Tesauro to produce and distribute the Trivia Bingo Game in a television show format. The territory covered by the license is Spain. The term of the license is 3 years and is renewable for an additional 3 year period unless either party, upon 60 days written notice, decides not to renew.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin operating and selling advertising space on our web-site. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than our operations.

Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in FirstBingo.com. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. Even if we raise the maximum amount of money in this offering, we do not know how long the money will last, however, we do believe that $2,000,000 will last 24 months.

To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise, will be applied to the development of our web-site, marketing and working capital. If we need additional money, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors, however, our officers and directors are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at this time, other than to pay fees connected with our filings with the SEC. Accordingly, they are under no legal obligation to make additional capital contributions to us in the future. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and can't raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise the maximum amount of money from this offering, it will last 24 months. If we raise less than the maximum amount, we do not believe the money will last 24 months. If we raise less than the maximum amount and we need more money we will have to revert obtaining additional money as described in this paragraph. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

If we are unable to complete the development of our game because we don't have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we can't or don't raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything.

We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is limited historical financial information about us, but no operations upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a start-up stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the development our game, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

To become profitable and competitive, we have to start operating our web-site and sell advertising on it. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to complete and promote our web-site.

We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue to develop our game or web-site. Additional equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Results of Operations

Since January 1, 2000

We are developing our Internet Bingo game and our web-site. Since May 1999, we have used our common stock to raise money for the development of the web-site, the development of our Internet Bingo game, and, for corporate expenses. We received a loan of $750,000 from Ampang Investments Ltd. evidenced by a debenture. The debenture was converted to 719,094 shares of common stock. Ampang Investments Ltd. is owned by The Bentley Group Ltd., a company which is owned and controlled by Richard Lyle Wachter, our President and Chief Financial Officer.

The only revenues that we have generated were in the third and fourth quarters of 2001. A total of $10,000 was generated from the sale of format licenses for our T.V. game show and internet software user agreement. This is not revenue generated from operations.

At December 31, 2002, we had negative working capital of $629,625 compared to negative working capital of $800,634 at December 31, 2001 for a total decrease of $171,009. This change resulted from the conversion of the related party note payable and accrued interest into common stock.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, our primary asset was software, and the primary liabilities consisted of accounts payable, accrued interest and notes payable, and accrued salaries.

Upon the successful completion of our intended financing we intend to derive our operating revenues from the following sources:

  1. advertising campaigns on its website, including merchandising its products;

  2. the sale of CD ROMS and our "board game";

 

 

-29-


  1. launching our television game show.

In 2000, we issued a total of 6,100,000 shares of common stock in director, consulting and marketing fees valued $12,978,700. 1,850,000 shares were issued to Sharpe Capital for marketing and public relations; 4,000,000 shares were issued to Ampang Investments for consulting; and, 250,000 shares were issued to Marco Stifani, Michael DeMarco and Edgar Clark, former directors, as director's fees.

Fiscal Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Fiscal December 31, 2002

We have had no revenues from operations in either of the first three quarters of 2003 or 2002.

At September 30, 2003, we had negative working capital of $935,975 compared to negative working capital of $238,670 at September 30, 2002. This decrease in net operating capital was mainly from the accrual of salaries, the acquisition of a convertible debenture and accrual of interest, and increases in related party payables and related party notes payable, and accrued interest. Accounts payable decreased from $58,427 on September 30, 2002 to $38,084 on September 30, 2003. This was a result payments of normal operating expenses.

During 2002, the remaining value of the software of $1,275,000 was fully impaired. We continue to include our operating website and license, with a net value of $164,673, as our major asset. The impairment coupled with depreciation expenses of $64,168 for the first nine months of 2002, accumulated depreciation of approximately $104,127 and the purchase of software for common stock in the amount of $138,000, are the only changes to property and equipment from September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003, our primary asset was software. Our primary liabilities consisted of accounts payable and notes payable. Additionally at September 30, 2003, we had substantial accrued interest on our books.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, we did not have any revenues from operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We continue to maintain a minimal cash balance in order to fulfill our financial commitments. The minimal cash balance or burn rate required to fulfill financial commitments is $32,000 per month. The approximate amount of time through which our current assets will fund existing operations, not assuming completion of this offering or additional advances from shareholders, is zero months. All of this cash balance has been obtained through borrowing. We were not in a liquid position at September 30, 2003, having $4,139 of cash. In the past, the majority shareholders have to fund any cash shortfalls experienced by us. They have advised us they will not do so in the future.

Current assets increased from $24 at December 31, 2002 to $4,139 at September 30, 2003, an increase considered by us to be negligible. Current liabilities at December 31, 2002, were $629,649. These liabilities increased at September 30, 2003, to $940,114. This is due primarily to the accrual of interest, salaries and increases to accounts payable and convertible debt.

 

 

-30-


We continue to be funded by our majority shareholders, in order to meet our day-to-day expenses and our ongoing marketing initiatives. As of September 30, 2003, these shareholders have covered $908,070 in our shortfalls. That is because we are not generating any revenues from operations, but we continue to accrue expenses as though we were generating revenues. This is reflected in the "Accounts payable-related parties" of $53,372 and"Note payable-related party" of $171,251 and interest of $21,540 has been accrued and expensed which represents monies advanced to us by our majority shareholders since January 2002. It is important to note that the "Note Payable" and the "Accrued Interest" of $614,366 and $104,567, respectively, from the December 31, 2001 statements were converted to equity on January 3, 2002, with the issue of 2,876,376 common shares at a rate of four (4) common share for each dollar of indebtedness calculated by adding the principal amount of the "Note Payable" together with "Accrued Interest."

We have continuously maintained minimal liquidity as a result of majority shareholders funding of our operations. The total short-fall that these shareholders assumed was $908,070, however, they are unwilling to fund operations in the future and if we do not receive sufficient proceeds to fund our operations, we may have to suspend operations until we obtain additional funding or cease operating entirely. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures other than as set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. While we are committed to spend the money as disclosed therein, we have not entered into any contracts with third parties for the services described therein. We will not enter into any contracts with third parties for services, until we receive proceeds from this offering. Management believes that there will be insufficient funds generated by operations to satisfy working capital requirements and the majority shareholders are unwilling to make any further capital contributions to our operations. Accordingly, if this offering is unsuccessful, in all likelihood, we will have to suspend or cease operations.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices will not and are not expected to have a significant effect on our operations during the foreseeable future.

Dividends will be paid on the restricted stock. The number of shares has been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 25 reverse stock split that occurred on December 31, 2001 and the issuance of three (3) additional shares of common stock as a stock dividend on November 14, 2003. There are no conditions of the restricted stock issued as compensation in this section.

As of our 2002 accounting year end, our directors do not and will not receive any compensation for serving as members of the board of directors. Compensation will only be paid to individuals in their capacity as officers.

There are no other stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors other than as described herein.

Conflicts of Interest

At the present time, we do not foresee a direct conflicts of interest. The only conflict that we foresee is our officers' and directors' devotion of time to projects that do not involve us.

Employment Contracts

We have no employment contracts with Mr. Sheppard or Mr. Wachter.

Indemnification

Under our Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of our common stock:

*     have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors;
*     are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
*     do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
*     are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable and all shares of common stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.

Non-cumulative Voting

Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

Cash Dividends

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations. No dividends have been paid on our restricted stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of FirstBingo.com, a development stage enterprise, as of September 30, 2003 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and for the period from March 30, 1990 (inception) through September 30, 2003. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of FirstBingo.com.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated April 8, 2003. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception on March 30, 1990, has little revenues, has limited resources and has a large accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FIRSTBINGO.COM
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2003

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FirstBingo.com, formerly Vista Medical Terrace, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company"), was incorporated in March 1990 under the laws of the State of Nevada for any lawful business. The name change to FirstBingo.com was effective on May 25, 1999 to reflect the Company's change in primary focus to the offering of interactive online internet entertainment and game playing. As part of the acquisition of software in 1999, the Company acquired a non-operating wholly owned subsidiary, Lucky Port Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation. See Note 4.

The Company is in the development stage and as of September 30, 2003 had not realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. The Company's year-end is December 31.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of FirstBingo.com is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on March 30, 1990. It is primarily engaged in internet entertainment and the business of gaming. During 2001, the Company received an initial payment on its licensing agreement, but this was not sufficient for recognition as an operating company. (See Note 8.)

Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2003, included herein have not been audited, at the request of the Company. They reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the period. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Going Concern (Continued)
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $387,908 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. In addition, the Company has limited resources, negative working capital, and a large accumulated deficit. The future of the Company is dependent upon future profitable operations from the commercial success or licensing of its trivia bingo in the form of the final production of an internet game, television game show and or stand alone video game. The Company is currently putting technology in place which will, if successful, mitigate these factors that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the twelve-month period subsequent to September 30, 2003, the Company anticipates that its minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern will be less than $500,000. The anticipated source of funds is the issuance for cash of additional equity instruments. In addition, management is actively seeking outside parties for the licensing of its trivia bingo game. The financial statements do not include any 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 has established plans to seek additional capital from new equity securities issuances that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. At this time, the financial statements and the notes thereto, are not considered consolidated since the Company's only subsidiary is non-operating and dormant, containing no material assets or liabilities.

Accounting Method
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Net 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. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of its statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and short-term borrowings. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at September 30, 2003 and 2002.

Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

At September 30, 2003, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $1,070,000 principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes calculated at an expected rate of 34%. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at September 30, 2003. The significant components of the deferred tax asset at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows:

At September 30, 2003, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,150,000, which expire in the years 2020 through 2023. This includes $200,000 of losses for stock issued in 2002 for director's salaries which had been previously classified as nondeductible service payments and in prior periods the Company recognized approximately $13,200,000 of losses from the issuance of common stock for services which were not deductible for tax purposes and are not included in the above calculation of deferred tax assets. The change in the allowance account from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 was and increase of $90,000.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Impaired Asset Policy
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company determined that its software was impaired and accordingly recognized an impairment loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company determined no further impairment of assets had occurred. See Note 3.

Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133"), as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

Derivative Instruments (continued)
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

At September 30, 2003, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has determined that it has no financial instruments that would be affected by this pronouncement.

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of the statement are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company currently reports stock issued to employees under the rules of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, there is no change is disclosure requirements due to SFAS No. 148.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2002 and is effective for activities after December 31, 2002. There has been no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations from adopting SFAS No. 146.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 44, 4 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 145"), which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. FASB No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related tax effect was rescinded. As a result, FASB No. 64, which amended FASB No. 4, was rescinded, as it was no longer necessary. FASB No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers", established the accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Since the transition has been completed, FASB No. 44 is no longer necessary and has been rescinded. SFAS No. 145 amended FASB No. 13 to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 which had no effect on the financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2003.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 which did not impact the financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2003.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Reclassification
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's accumulated deficit or net losses presented.

NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In past years, the Company capitalized $205,841, which is the contractual cost of the website and software license purchased from an independent supplier, and $1,500,000, which is the value of software acquired in exchange for stock. (See Note 4.) No portion of this software - acquired during the year ended December 31, 2000 - was internally developed and, accordingly, there were no internal costs associated with this software which were charged to research and development. Consistent with SOP 98-1, the costs of the website and related software license - which was purchased solely for internal use and will not be marketed externally - have been capitalized and are being amortized over the estimated useful life of five years.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company determined that the majority of its software was substantially impaired due to the fact that it would no longer be used in any aspect of the Company's operations as described in Note 1. The analysis performed by the Company included a review by management of the direction the Company would be taking in the future. This analysis determined that the software which was placed in service in 2001 and was being amortized by the Company was no longer being used in the Company's operations. Therefore, the software was deemed to be fully impaired and the impairment was charged to operations, resulting in a loss on impaired assets of $1,275,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 the Company issued 24,000,000 shares of common stock to a related party to purchase software technology that is integral to the operations of the Company. The software and patents were originally purchased by the related party, for 600,000 shares of stock in FirstBingo.com that it had acquired in 2000 as payment for services. These shares went through a 1 for 25 stock split and then a 3 for 1 stock dividend (See Notes 4 and 10) and became 96,000 shares with a final adjusted price of $1.44 per share for a total cost of $138,000. SAB No. 48 interprets that the historical cost of the common stock will be the cost of the non-monetary assets acquired by the Company. Therefore, the value of the stock issued to the related party is considered FirstBingo.com's basis in the software, or $138,000. This software will be amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company's amortization expense attributable to the remaining unimpaired website and software license was $42,376.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

Upon incorporation, the Company issued 1,678,080 shares of common stock for $2,500. During the years ending December 31, 1990 through December 31, 1996, the Company was dormant and had minimal activity, resulting in a combined net loss of $3,200. There were no additional stock transactions during this period. In 1997, the Company's board of directors authorized a 92-for-1 forward stock split, which increased the number of issued and outstanding shares to 5,244,000. In 1999, the Company authorized a 2-for-1 forward split, which increased the number of issued and outstanding shares to 10,488,000. All financial statement information herein has been changed to reflect these stock splits. These shares were further adjusted by a reverse stock split in 2001 and a stock dividend that was treated as a forward stock split.

During 2000, the Company issued 976,000 shares for services which were valued at the fair market value of the shares at the date of issuance.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK (Continued)

The Company records all noncash stock transactions at the fair market value of the shares on the dates the shares are granted with the exception of the stock issued pursuant to the software acquisition disclosed in Note 3. These fair market value for all transations excluding those with related parties is derived from the market activity of the stock on the date of the transactions. The market activity is exclusively unrelated third party activity.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain consultants who received common stock options under the Company's non-qualified stock option plan are the Company's directors and stockholders. The Company also received uncollateralized advances from a related party to pay certain expenses. These advances bear no interest and are reflected in the financial statements as advances from shareholder. All options granted expired effective December 31, 2002.

The Company has received a total of $713,617 in cash funds from a related party in the form of an unsecured loan. This credit facility is a drawdown loan, with a maximum loan limit of $750,000. Interest is payable at 12% per annum, based upon the principal outstanding, and is due when the loan is called. In January 2002, the balance of the note was converted into 2,876,376 shares of stock, which approximates the value of the note and accrued interest at December 31, 2001. The shares were issued at a price of $1.00 per share, the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares were granted. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has received an additional $99,251 from this related party, and interest of $19,380 has been accrued and expensed.

The Company's president has from time to time paid various expenses on behalf of the Company that the Company plans to reimburse at such time as it is able. These expenses total approximately $53,372 at September 30, 2003 and are included in "accounts payable - related party" in the accompanying financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 the Company's president loaned $72,000 to the Company in the form of an unsecured loan. Interest is payable at 12% per annum, based upon the principal outstanding, and is due when the loan is called. As of September 30, 2003, interest of $2,160 has been accrued and expensed.

In addition, the Company rents office space from its chief executive officer on a month-to-month basis for $1,000 CDN (approximately $750 U.S.) plus miscellaneous expenses.

On July 2, 2002, the Company sold in a private placement to accredited investors a three-month convertible pay-in-kind note due October 2, 2002, in the principal amount of $31,985 in cash. The convertible note bears interest at the rate of 15% and is payable at the due date of the loan in cash or common stock.

This debt is convertible into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.00 CDN ($0.75 U.S.) per share. The Company offered the convertible subordinated debt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act. In February 2003, the Company converted this debt into 230,000 shares of common stock. See Note 4.

On March 27, 2003, the Company sold in a private placement to accredited investors a three-month convertible pay-in-kind note due June 27, 2003, in the principal amount of $38,000 in cash. The convertible note bears interest at the rate of 15% and is payable at the due date of the loan in cash or common stock. This debt is convertible into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.25 CDN ($0.16 USD) per share. The Company offered the convertible subordinated debt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.

At September 30, 2003 the convertible debenture is due and the Company and investor are considering the options for payment. No additional interest or late payment penalties have been accrued or assessed.

NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company's board of directors granted options to acquire 1,000,000 common stock shares for prices ranging from $7.00 to $13.00 per share to consultants for marketing and public relations services. After the reverse stock split in 2001, there were 40,000 options outstanding to acquire 40,000 common stock shares with prices ranging from $175.00 to $325.00 per share.

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made to estimate fair value: the risk-free interest rate is 5%, volatility is 30 percent, and the expected life of the options is one year. Accordingly, $15,000 was recorded in the accompanying financial statements in the year ended December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2001, these options expired.

NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the board of directors granted options to acquire 12,400 shares of stock for prices ranging from $12.50 to $75.00 per share to officers and directors of the Company for their services. Included in the options granted were 400 options that were granted in recognition of the forfeiture of 20,000 options originally granted in 2000 (before a reverse stock split in 2001).

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made to estimate fair value: the risk-free interest rate is 5%, volatility is 166 percent, and the expected life of the options is one year. Accordingly, $41,600 was recorded in the financial statements in 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, all stock options expired and no new options were granted.

During the six months ended September 30, 2003, the Company did not issue any additional options.

NOTE 8 - LICENSE AGREEMENT

On April 3, 2001, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Tesauro S.A. ("Tesauro"), a corporation located in Spain, for use in producing and distributing the Trivia Bingo Game in a television game show format.

Upon execution of the agreement, Tesauro agreed to pay to the Company a non-refundable fee of $10,000, plus any taxes eligible. A payment of $1,200 was due upon execution of the agreement, and thereafter eleven monthly payments of $800 are payable on the first day of each month. As of June 30, 2003 the Company has received the entire fee. Tesauro overpaid its license by $2,400 which is included in the accompanying financial statements under "Commitments and Contingencies."

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FirstBingo.com (a development stage company and Nevada corporation) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of operations, 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FirstBingo.com (a development stage company) as of December 31. 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception on March 30, 1990, has negative working capital, and little revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FIRSTBINGO.COM
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2002

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FirstBingo.com, formerly Vista Medical Terrace, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company"), was incorporated in March 1990 under the laws of the State of Nevada for any lawful business. The name change to FirstBingo.com was effective on May 25, 1999 to reflect the Company's change in primary focus to the offering of interactive online internet entertainment and game playing. As part of the acquisition of software in 1999, the Company acquired a non-operating wholly owned subsidiary, Lucky Port Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation. See Note 4.

The Company is in the development stage and as of December 31, 2002 had not realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. The Company's year-end is December 31.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of FirstBingo.com is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the of the preparation of the financial statements.

Development Stage Activities

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on March 30, 1990. It is primarily engaged in internet entertainment and the business of gaming. During 2001, the Company received an initial payment on its licensing agreement, but this was not sufficient for recognition as an operating company. (See Note 8.)

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 $2,296,757 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The future of the Company is dependent upon future profitable operations from the commercial success or licensing of its trivia bingo in the form of the final production of an internet game, television game show and or stand alone video game. The Company is currently putting technology in place which will, if successful, mitigate these factors that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the twelve-month period subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Company anticipates that its minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern will be less than $225,000. The anticipated source of funds is the issuance for cash of additional equity instruments. In addition, management is actively seeking outside parties for the licensing of its trivia bingo game. 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Going Concern (continued)

has established plans to seek new capital from new equity securities issuances that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. At this time, the financial statements and the notes thereto, are not considered consolidated since the Company's only subsidiary is non-operating and dormant, containing no material assets or liabilities.

Accounting Method

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Net 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. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of its statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Provision for Taxes

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $980,000 principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes, calculated at an expected tax rate of 34%. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at December 31, 2002.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Provision for Taxes (continued)

At December 31, 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,900,000, which expire in the years 2020 through 2022. This includes $200,000 of losses for stock issued in 2002 for directors' salaries which had been previously classified as nondeductible service payments. The Company has recognized approximately $13,200,000 of losses for the issuance of common stock for services which were not deductible for tax purposes and are not included in the above calculation of deferred tax assets.

Use of Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Impaired Asset Policy

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No.144 replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This new standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company determined that its software was impaired. See Note 3.

Derivative Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (hereinafter "SFAS No. 133") "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Derivative Instruments (continued)

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

At December 31, 2002, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2002 and is effective for activities after December 31, 2002. There has been no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations from adopting SFAS No. 146.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 44, 4 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 145"), which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. FASB No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related tax effect was rescinded. As a result, FASB No. 64, which amended FASB No. 4, was rescinded, as it was no longer necessary. FASB No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers", established the accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Since the transition has been completed, FASB No. 44 is no longer necessary and has been rescinded. SFAS No. 145 amended FASB No. 13 to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 which did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 which did not impact the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2002, apart from the asset impairment loss described in Note 3.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 143"). SFAS No. 143 establishes guidelines related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets of the Company and the associated retirement costs. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, which did not affect the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2002.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 141 provides for the elimination of the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations with an acquisition date of July 1, 2001 or later. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires periodic reassessment of the underlying value of such assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. An early adoption provision exists for companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. On December 31, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. Application of the nonamortization provision of SFAS No. 142 is expected to result in no change to the Company's results of operations, as the Company does not have assets with indeterminate lives.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 expands the disclosure requirements to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Certain guarantees, including (i) an original lessee's guarantee of the lease payments when the lessee remains secondarily liable in conjunction with being relieved from being the primary obligor and (ii) a parent's guarantee of a subsidiary's debt to a third party, and a subsidiary's guarantee of debt owed to a third party by either its parent or another subsidiary of that parent, are excluded from the provisions related to liability recognition. These guarantees, however, are subject to the disclosure requirements of the interpretation. The liability recognition provisions of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of the interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not anticipate issuing any guarantees which would be required to be recognized as a liability under the provisions of FIN 45 and thus does not expect the adoption of this interpretation to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 effective for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Reclassification

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company's accumulated deficit or net losses presented.

NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In past years, the Company capitalized $205,841, which is the contractual cost of the website and software license purchased from an independent supplier, and $1,500,000, which is the value of software acquired in exchange for stock. (See Note 4.) No portion of this software- acquired during the year ended December 31, 2000 - was internally developed and, accordingly, there were no internal costs associated with this software which were charged to research and development. Consistent with SOP 98-1, the costs of the website and related software license - which was purchased solely for internal use and will not be marketed externally - have been capitalized and will be amortized over five years.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2002

NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company determined that the majority of its software was substantially impaired due to the fact that it would no longer be used in any aspect of the Company's operations as described in Note 1. The analysis performed by the Company included a review by management of the direction the Company would be taking in the future. This analysis determined that the software which was placed in service in 2001 and was being amortized by the Company was no longer being used in the Company's operations. Therefore, the software was deemed to be fully impaired and the impairment was charged to operations, resulting in a loss on impaired assets of $1,275,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2002 the website and software license amortization expense was $116,168.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

Upon incorporation, the Company issued 419,520 shares of common stock for $2,500. During the years ending December 31, 1990 through December 31, 1996, the Company was dormant and had minimal activity, resulting in a combined net loss of $3,200. There were no additional stock transactions during this period. In 1997, the Company's board of directors authorized a 92-for-1 forward stock split, which increased the number of issued and outstanding shares to 5,244,000. In 1999, the Company authorized a 2-for-1 forward split, which increased the number of issued and outstanding shares to 10,488,000. All financial statement information herein has been changed to reflect these stock splits.

During 2000, the Company issued 244,000 shares for services which were valued at the fair market value of the shares at the date of issuance. Under a 1999 agreement, the Company acquired Lucky Port Ltd, a British Virgin Islands corporation, whose sole asset was computer software. This agreement required the Company to issue 240,000 shares of its common stock. This stock was issued during the year ended December 31, 2000. Valuation of these shares was determined based upon the value of the shares at the original signing date of the agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company issued 7,011 shares for services which were valued at the fair market value of the shares at the dated granted. On December 31, 2001, the Company's board of directors authorized a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements and notes, to the number of common shares and per share amounts, have been restated to reflect all changes in the Company's capital stock, including stock splits and reverse stock splits.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 200,000 shares to two of its directors for salaries and bonuses which were valued at $1.00 per share, the fair market value of the shares at the date of issue. In addition, the Company issued 719,094 shares of stock in lieu of a note payable to a related party. See Note 5.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK (continued)

Also during the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company issued a total of 70,000 shares of stock to two outside parties for technical services on the Company's website and online Trivia BingoJ game. 35,000 shares were valued at $2.00 per share and 35,000 shares were issued at $2.50 per share, the fair market value of the shares on the dates the contracts were signed.

The Company records all noncash stock transactions at the fair market value of the shares on the dates the shares are granted. This value is derived from the market activity of the stock on the date of the transactions. The market activity is exclusively unrelated third party activity.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain consultants who received common stock options under the Company's non-qualified stock option plan are the Company's directors and stockholders. The Company also received uncollateralized advances from a related party to pay certain expenses. These advances bear no interest and are reflected in the financial statements as advances from shareholder. All options granted have expired effective December 31, 2002.

The Company received funds from a related party in the form of an unsecured loan. This credit facility is a drawdown loan, with a maximum loan limit of $750,000. Interest is payable at 12% per annum, based upon the principal outstanding, and is due when the loan is called. In January 2002, the balance of the note was converted into 719,094 shares of stock, which approximates the value of the note and accrued interest at December 31, 2001. The shares were issued at a price of $1.00 per share, the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares were granted. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has received an additional $99,251 from this related party, and interest of $10,447 has been accrued and expensed.

In addition, the Company's president has from time to time paid various expenses on behalf of the Company that the Company plans to reimburse at such time as it is able. These expenses total approximately $38,300 at December 31, 2002

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold in a private placement to accredited investors a convertible pay-in-kind note due October 2, 2002, in the principal amount of $31,985 in cash. The convertible note bears interest at the rate of 15% or $4,797 and is payable at the due date of the loan in cash or common stock.

This debt is convertible into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.00 Canadian ($0.65 USD) per share. The Company offered the convertible subordinated debt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT (continued)

Subsequent to the date of these financial statements, the Company converted the debt into shares of common stock. See Note 9.

NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company's board of directors granted options to acquire 1,000,000 common stock shares for prices ranging from $7.00 to $13.00 per share to consultants for marketing and public relations services. After the reverse stock split in 2001, there were 40,000 options outstanding with prices ranging from $175.00 to $325.00 per share.

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made to estimate fair value: the risk-free interest rate is 5%, volatility is 30 percent, and the expected life of the options is one year. Accordingly, $15,000 was recorded in the accompanying financial statements in the year ended December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2001, these options expired.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the board of directors granted options to acquire 12,400 shares of stock, including 400 shares that were granted in lieu of the forfeiting of 20,000 options granted in 2000 for prices ranging from $12.50 to $75.00 per share to officers and directors of the Company for their services.

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made to estimate fair value: the risk-free interest rate is 5%, volatility is 166 percent, and the expected life of the options is one year. Accordingly, $41,600 was recorded in the accompanying financial statements in 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the stock options expired and no new options were granted.

ITEM 28.   UNDERTAKINGS.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

  1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
  2. a.   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

    b.   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

    c.   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any change to such information in the registration statement.

  3. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

  4. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
