GOING CONCERN

We have not generated revenues in the last four years. In their report to the shareholders dated April 30, 2012 which is part of the financial statements included under Item 18 of this Annual Report, our auditors stated that there is a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

The Company has no material assets.

D. RISK FACTORS
 
The following risk factors, among others, could materially affect our actual results of operations and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and we assume no obligation to update this information. You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on form 20-F. The following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.

GENERAL RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
 
NO OPERATING HISTORY AND NO CURRENT BUSINESS MAKES OUR FUTURE SUCCESS UNCERTAIN.
 
We have a very brief operating history. In 2006, we began our business of developing, commercializing and marketing games software and technologies. Our brief operating history makes our success uncertain. As of April 13, 2009, we no longer have any operating business and are a shell company. Unless we acquire and integrate one or more new operating businesses into our company it will be impossible for us to generate revenues. There is no assurance that we will find a meaningful operating business to merge with or acquire on acceptable terms, which makes our future uncertain.
 
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN FINANCING NECESSARY TO SUPPORT OUR OPERATIONS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

We have generated revenues since inception through fiscal year 2007, but following the sale of our entire assets, we do not have an adequate source of cash and remain a shell company. On December 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit $4,867,902. Furthermore, in their report to the shareholders dated April 30, 2012, which is part of the financial statements included under Item 18 of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, our auditors stated that there is a substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 IT COULD BE DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE A U.S. JUDGMENT AGAINST OUR OFFICERS, OUR DIRECTORS AND US.
 
All of our executive officers and directors are non-residents of the United States. Therefore, it could be difficult to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against us as an Isle of Man company or any of these persons who are all currently residents of the State of Israel.
 
There is also doubt as to the enforceability of civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in original actions instituted in Israel. However, subject to specified time limitations, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. final executory judgment in a civil matter, provided that:
 
- adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard;
 
- the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
 
- the judgment was obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction according to the rules of private international law prevailing in Israel;
 
- the judgment was not obtained by fraudulent means and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
 
- an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the U.S. court; and
 
- the U.S. court is not prohibited from enforcing judgments of Israeli courts.
 
The Isle of Man is an internally self-governing dependent territory of the British Crown and is politically and constitutionally separate from the United Kingdom.
 
The Island has its own legal system. The Manx legal system is based upon the principles of English law shared by most commonwealth countries.
 
There is no statutory procedure in the Isle of Man for the recognition or enforcement of judgments of the courts of the United States. However, under Isle of Man common law, a foreign judgment in personam given by the court of a foreign country with jurisdiction to give that judgment may be recognized and enforced by an action for the amount due under it provided that the judgment: (i) is for a debt or definite sum of money (not being a sum payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty); (ii) is final and conclusive; (iii) was not obtained by fraud; (iv) is not one whose enforcement would be contrary to public policy in the Isle of Man; and (v) was not obtained in proceedings which were opposed to natural justice in the Isle of Man.
 
 
9

 
 
A foreign judgment would not be enforced by an Isle of Man Court without a re-trial or re-examination of the matters thereby adjudicated upon if such judgment were obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice or if the enforcement thereof were contrary to Isle of Man public policy and such enforcement may also be withheld if the relevant judgment were not a final and conclusive money judgment, being both unrelated to taxation and free of conflict with any other judgment in the same cause of action.
 
The Isle of Man courts will render judgments for a monetary amount in foreign currencies, but the judgment will be converted into sterling for enforcement purposes. Foreign currency amounts claimed in an Isle of Man liquidation must be converted into sterling at the rate prevailing at the commencement of the liquidation.
 
WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT AND OUR COMPLIANCE REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSES.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. Our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management efforts.

RISKS RELATED TO LOCATION IN ISRAEL
 
POTENTIAL POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND MILITARY INSTABILITY IN ISRAEL MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
Our officers are located in Israel and if we conduct any business in the future it may be done out of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our operations. Over the past several decades, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors. A state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Since 2000, there have been ongoing hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians, which have adversely affected the peace process and at times have negatively influenced Israel’s economy as well as its relationship with several other countries. In 2006, Israel experienced a war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. Hamas, an Islamist movement responsible for many attacks, including missile strikes, against Israelis, won the majority of the seats in the Parliament of the Palestinian Authority in 2006 and took control of the entire Gaza Strip by force in 2007. In January 2009, Israel engaged in a military action against Hamas in Gaza to prevent continued rocket attacks against Israel. These developments have further strained relations between Israel and the Palestinians. The current political situation between Israel and its neighbors may not improve. These political, economic and military conditions in Israel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.

Our principal executive offices are located at Burleigh Manor, Peel Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, and our telephone number there is (44) 1624 626586.
 
B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are currently focused on either effectuating an outright sale of our company or engage or purchase new activities that will generate revenue.
 
We did not generate any revenues from operations in fiscal years 2011 and 2010.
 
C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
 
We have no subsidiaries. We are wholly owned subsidiary of Win Global Markets Inc.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosure. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, "Significant Accounting Policies", included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB amended its comprehensive income presentation guidance. The amendment requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred certain provisions of this guidance.

In May 2011, the FASB amended its fair value measurements and disclosures guidance. The amendment clarifies the existing guidance and adds new disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company believes that the adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Net loss attributable to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 changed to $31,544 as compared to a net income of $19,092 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net loss per share attributable to the company for 2010 was $0.00 compare to a net income per share of $0.00 in 2009.
 
The net loss for continuing operations in 2010 compare to a net income in 2009 was mainly due to a gain on sale of intellectual property of RNG which was recorded in 2009. Our weighted average number of ordinary shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009 was 32,315,698.
 
B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Operating activities used cash of $0 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0 used in the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
In fiscal 2011 and 2010 we did not generate or use any cash flows from financing activities or investing activities. Currently, the Company has no business activity and has no future plans to gain liquidity.
 
The promissory note for 2011 amounted to $0 compared with $$2,816,091 in 2010. This promissory note was to be in effect for Five Years since September 25, 2006 (60 months). Principal was supposed to be paid in five (5) equal annual installments of $ 450,000 each and bear interest of $US Libor +1.5% per annum. The entire amount was recorded as a capital surplus since it reflects a transaction among the Win Global Markets group.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not pay any payments owed on account of the promissory note to Win Gaming Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Zone 4 Play, Inc.) ("WGM DE").
 
Effective January 2011 WGM DE forgave all amounts due under the Note, including all accrued but unpaid interest. Forgiving such amount was recorded in equity as it reflects between a transaction related parties.

OUTLOOK
 
We are a shell company and believe that our future will depend upon our ability to leverage our status as a reporting entity to which we develop or purchase new businesses that will generate revenues or for an outright sale of the Company. To sustain our status as a shell company we rely on cash to be provided for next twelve months by our parent company, WGM.

B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
 
The following is a summary description of certain provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association (corporate charter):
 
Directors may be interested in company transactions but such interest should be disclosed to the other directors or company members prior to agreement by the board or company meeting as appropriate. The director concerned may vote on the transaction provided he has declared his interest in it. The directors may, at their discretion raise or borrow, without the consent of the members in general meeting such sum or sums of money for the purposes of the company's business and may grant security. There are no stated age limits for directors and directors need not be shareholders. They do not retire by rotation.
 
All shares issued are un-classified, there is no authorization in force to issue other classes of shares. Consequently all shares have equal entitlement to voting rights, dividends, profit shares and other rights and duties. If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of all of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. To every such separate general meeting the provisions of these articles relating to general meetings shall (in the case of the number of holders of a particular class of shares being two or more) apply mutatis mutandis, but so that the necessary quorum shall be at least two persons holding or representing by proxy one-third of the issued shares of the class and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll. In the case of the number of holders of a particular class of shares being one, one person holding or representing all the issued shares of the class shall be a quorum.
 
By ordinary resolution of the company, the authorized capital may be increased and that the Company may divide or combine shares within the same class.
 
Company meetings may be convened by the directors or held on request of members holding not less than one tenth of such of the paid-up capital of the company as at the date of making the requisition. Annual general meetings are held according to Isle of Man law. Members, their properly appointed proxies, the duly authorized representative of a corporate member, the directors, auditors and any person invited to do so by the chairman are entitled to attend a meeting of the company.
 
There are no limits to ownership of the company shares or to the exercise of voting rights. Disclosure of ownership is governed by Isle of Man law and any laws operative in the jurisdictions pertaining to the owners of the shares. The directors of the company may, at their discretion and without giving any reason for doing so, decline to register a transfer of a share which is not fully paid or over which the company has a lien.
 
C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS
 
According to an agreement between Gaming Ventures and Win Gaming Media Inc. a Delaware Company (formerly Zone 4 Play, Inc.)  ("WGM DE"), dated September 14, 2006  Gaming Ventures purchased from WGM DE all right, title, and interest in its intellectual property rights and assets related to its Black Jack business ("BJ Business") on a "going concern" and "as is" basis, in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $2.25M. The valuation was based on an appraisal report made by an independent appraiser. This promissory note was to be in effect for Five Years since September 25, 2006 (60 months). Principal was supposed to be paid in five (5) equal annual installments of $ 450,000 each and bear interest of $US Libor +1.5% per annum. The entire amount was recorded as a capital surplus since it reflects a transaction among the Win Global Markets group. The technology was previously recorded in WGM DE financial statements at a book value of zero.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not pay any payments owed on account of the promissory note to WGM DE.
 
Effective January 2011 WGM DE forgave all amounts due under the Promissory Note, including all accrued but unpaid interest. Forgiving such amount was recorded in equity as it reflects between a transaction related parties.

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS
 
Our ordinary shares may be freely transferred among non-residents of the Isle of Man under Isle of Man Law. There are no Exchange Control regulations in the Isle of Man. There are no restrictions upon the payment of foreign currency dividends, interest or other payments in respect of the Registered Securities.
 
None of the company's articles of association, memorandum of association or any other document, nor any Isle of Man law or, to the knowledge of the company, any foreign law, imposes limitations on the right of non-residents or foreign owners to hold our company's ordinary shares.

E.  MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

U.S. Federal Income Taxation
 
The following summary is included herein for general information and is not intended to be, and should not be considered to be, legal or tax advice. Each U.S. holder should consult with his or her own tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of ordinary shares, including the effects of applicable state, local, foreign or other tax laws and possible changes in the tax laws.
 
Subject to the limitations described in the next paragraph, the following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a “U.S. Holder” arising from the purchase, ownership and sale of the ordinary shares. For this purpose, a “U.S. Holder” is a holder of ordinary shares that is: (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the substantial presence residency test under U.S. federal income tax laws; (2) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a partnership (other than a partnership that is not treated as a U.S. person under any applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations) created or organized under the laws of the United States or the District of Columbia or any political subdivision thereof; (3) an estate, the income of which is includable in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of source; (4) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; (5) a trust that has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person to the extent provided in U.S. Treasury regulations; or (6) any person otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the ordinary shares, if such status as a U.S. Holder is not overridden pursuant to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty.
 
This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our ordinary shares. This summary generally considers only U.S. Holders that will own our ordinary shares as capital assets. Except to the limited extent discussed below, this summary does not consider the U.S. federal tax consequences to a person that is not a U.S. Holder, nor does it describe the rules applicable to determine a taxpayer’s status as a U.S. Holder. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and all of which are open to differing interpretations. The Company will not seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our ordinary shares by U.S. Holders and, therefore, can provide no assurances that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth below.
 
20

 
 
This discussion does not address all of the aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular shareholder based on such shareholder’s particular circumstances and in particular does not discuss any estate, gift, generation-skipping, transfer, state, local or foreign tax considerations. In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a U.S. Holder who is: (1) a bank, life insurance company, regulated investment company, or other financial institution or “financial services entity”; (2) a broker or dealer in securities or foreign currency; (3) a person who acquired our ordinary shares in connection with employment or other performance of services; (4) a U.S. Holder that is subject to the U.S. alternative minimum tax; (5) a U.S. Holder that holds our ordinary shares as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion or constructive sale transaction or other risk-reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (6) a tax-exempt entity; (7) real estate investment trusts; (8) a U.S. Holder that expatriates out of the United States or a former long-term resident of the United States; or (9) a person having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a U.S. Holder that owns, directly or constructively, at any time, ordinary shares representing 10% or more of our voting power. Additionally, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of persons who hold ordinary shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity are not considered.

You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the specific U.S. federal and state income tax consequences to you of purchasing, holding or disposing of our ordinary shares, including the effects of applicable state, local, foreign or other tax laws and possible changes in the tax laws.

Distributions on Ordinary Shares

We have never paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares, and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In the event that we do pay dividends, and subject to the discussion under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any distribution paid on ordinary shares (including the amount of any applicable tax withheld on the date of the distribution), to the extent that such distribution does not exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of a distribution which exceeds our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital, reducing the U.S. Holder’s tax basis for the ordinary shares to the extent thereof, and then capital gain. Corporate holders generally will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received. In general, preferential tax rates not exceeding 15% for “qualified dividend income” and long-term capital gains are applicable for U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts (these preferential rates are scheduled to expire for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, after which time, dividends are scheduled to be taxed at ordinary income rates and long-term capital gains are scheduled to be taxed at rates not exceeding 20%). For this purpose, “qualified dividend income” means, inter alia, dividends received from a “qualified foreign corporation.” A “qualified foreign corporation” is a corporation that is entitled to the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which includes an exchange of information program.

In addition, our dividends will be qualified dividend income if our ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Dividends will not qualify for the preferential rate if we are treated, in the year the dividend is paid or in the prior year, as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC. In addition, a U.S. Holder will not be entitled to the preferential rate: (1) if the U.S. Holder has not held our ordinary shares or ADRs for at least 61 days of the 121 day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the ex-dividend date, or (2) to the extent the U.S. Holder is under an obligation to make related payments on substantially similar property. Any days during which the U.S. Holder has diminished its risk of loss on our ordinary shares are not counted towards meeting the 61-day holding period. Finally, U.S. Holders who elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Code section 163(d)(4) will not be eligible for the preferential rate of taxation.

The amount of a distribution with respect to our ordinary shares will be measured by the amount of the fair market value of any property distributed, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of any taxes withheld therefrom. (See discussion below under “Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares.”) Cash distributions paid by us in BP will be included in the income of U.S. Holders at a U.S. dollar amount based upon the spot rate of exchange in effect on the date the dividend is includible in the income of the U.S. Holder, and U.S. Holders will have a tax basis in such BP for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to such U.S. dollar value. If the U.S. Holder subsequently converts the BP, any subsequent gain or loss in respect of such BP arising from exchange rate fluctuations will be U.S. source ordinary exchange gain or loss.
 
 
21

 
 
Distributions paid by us will generally be foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Code, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a foreign tax credit against their U.S. income tax liability for any income tax withheld from distributions received in respect of the ordinary shares. In general, these rules limit the amount allowable as a foreign tax credit in any year to the amount of ordinary U.S. federal income tax for the year attributable to foreign source taxable income. This limitation on the use of foreign tax credits generally will not apply to an electing individual U.S. Holder whose creditable foreign taxes during the year do not exceed $300, or $600 for joint filers, if such individual’s gross income for the taxable year from non-U.S. sources consists solely of certain passive income. A U.S. Holder will be denied a foreign tax credit with respect to any income tax withheld from dividends received with respect to the ordinary shares if such U.S. Holder has not held the ordinary shares for at least 16 days out of the 31-day period beginning on the date that is 15 days before the ex-dividend date or to the extent that such U.S. Holder is under an obligation to make certain related payments with respect to substantially similar or related property. Any day during which a U.S. Holder has substantially diminished his or her risk of loss with respect to the ordinary shares will not count toward meeting the 16-day holding period. A U.S. Holder will also be denied a foreign tax credit if the U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares in an arrangement in which the U.S. Holder’s reasonably expected economic profit is insubstantial compared to the foreign taxes expected to be paid or accrued. The rules relating to the determination of the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine whether, and to what extent, they are entitled to such credit. U.S. Holders that do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit may instead claim a deduction for any income taxes withheld, provided such U.S. Holders itemize their deductions.

Disposition of Shares
 
Except as provided under the PFIC rules described below, upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. Holder’s tax basis for the ordinary shares and the amount realized on the disposition (or its U.S. dollar equivalent determined by reference to the spot rate of exchange on the date of disposition, if the amount realized is denominated in a foreign currency). The gain or loss realized on the sale or exchange or other disposition of ordinary shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has a holding period of more than one year at the time of the disposition.

In general, gain realized by a U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange or other disposition of ordinary shares will generally be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A loss realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of ordinary shares is generally allocated to U.S. source income. However, U.S. Treasury Regulations require such loss to be allocated to foreign source income to the extent specified dividends were received by the taxpayer within the 24-month period preceding the date on which the taxpayer recognized the loss. The deductibility of a loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of ordinary shares is subject to limitations.

Medicare Contribution Tax

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts will generally be required to pay a new 3.8% Medicare tax on their net investment income (including dividends on and gains from the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares), or, in the case of estates and trusts, on their net investment income that is not distributed.  In each case, the 3.8% Medicare tax applies only to the extent that the U.S. Holder’s total adjusted income exceeds applicable thresholds.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies
 
Special U.S. federal income tax laws apply to a U.S. Holder who owns shares of a corporation that was (at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period) a PFIC.  We would be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any tax year if, in such tax year, either:

 
·
75% or more of our gross income (including our pro rata share of gross income for any company, U.S. or foreign, in which we are considered to own 25% or more of the shares by value), in a taxable year is passive (the “Income Test”); or
 
 
·
At least 50% of our assets, averaged over the year and generally determined based upon value (including our pro rata share of the assets of any company in which we are considered to own 25% or more of the shares by value), in a taxable year are held for the production of, or produce, passive income (the “Asset Test”).
 
For this purpose, passive income generally consists of dividends, interest, rents, royalties, annuities and income from certain commodities transactions and from notional principal contracts. Cash is treated as generating passive income.
 
 
22

 
 
If we are or become a PFIC, each U.S. Holder who has not elected to treat us as a qualified electing fund by making a “QEF election”, or who has not elected to mark the shares to market (as discussed below), would, upon receipt of certain distributions by us and upon disposition of our ordinary shares at a gain, be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing highest tax rates on ordinary income plus interest on such tax, as if the distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the taxpayer’s holding period for the ordinary shares. In addition, when shares of a PFIC are acquired by reason of death from a decedent that was a U.S. Holder, the tax basis of such shares would not receive a step-up to fair market value as of the date of the decedent’s death, but instead would be equal to the decedent’s basis if lower, unless all gain were recognized by the decedent. Indirect investments in a PFIC may also be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules.
 
The PFIC rules described above would not apply to a U.S. Holder who makes a QEF election for all taxable years that such U.S. Holder has held the ordinary shares while we are a PFIC, provided that we comply with specified reporting requirements. Instead, each U.S. Holder who has made such a QEF election is required for each taxable year that we are a PFIC to include in income such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our ordinary earnings as ordinary income and such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our net capital gains as long-term capital gain, regardless of whether we make any distributions of such earnings or gain. In general, a QEF election is effective only if we make available certain required information. The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and generally may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. Although we have no obligation to do so, we intend to notify U.S. Holders if we believe we will be treated as a PFIC for any tax year in order to enable U.S. Holders to consider whether to make a QEF election. In addition, we intend to provide the required information so that U.S. Holders can make QEF elections. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding tax return filing requirements and the eligibility, manner and advisability of making a QEF election if we are treated as a PFIC.

A U.S. Holder of PFIC shares which are traded on qualifying public markets can elect to mark the shares to market annually, recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year an amount equal to the difference as of the close of the taxable year between the fair market value of the PFIC shares and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PFIC shares. Losses are allowed only to the extent of net mark-to-market gain previously included income by the U.S. Holder under the election for prior taxable years. We do not believe that our ordinary shares currently qualify as “marketable”.

In light of the complexity of the PFIC rules, we cannot assure you that we have not been or are not a PFIC or will avoid becoming a PFIC in the future. U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares during a period when we are a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules, even if we cease to be a PFIC, subject to specified exceptions for U.S. Holders who made a QEF or mark-to-market election. U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors about the PFIC rules, including tax return filing requirements and the eligibility, manner, and consequences to them of making a QEF or mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares in the event we that qualify as a PFIC.

Information Reporting and Withholding
 
A U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%, but scheduled to increase to 31% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012) with respect to cash dividends and proceeds from a disposition of ordinary shares. In general, back-up withholding will apply only if a U.S. Holder fails to comply with specified identification procedures. Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to designated exempt recipients, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. federal income tax liability of a U.S. Holder, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010 (the “HIRE Act”), some payments to “foreign financial institutions” in respect of accounts of U.S. stockholders at such financial institutions may be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%. IRS guidance indicates that final regulations will be issued that will provide that such withholding will only apply to distributions paid on or after January 1, 2014, and to other “withholdable payments” (including payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares) made on or after January 1, 2015. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the HIRE Act on their ownership and disposition of our common stock. See “—Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares.”

Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares

Except as provided below, an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the payment of dividends on, and the proceeds from the disposition of, our ordinary shares.

A non-U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on a dividend paid on our ordinary shares or the proceeds from the disposition of our ordinary shares if: (1) such item is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States or, in the case of a non-U.S. Holder that is a resident of a country which has an income tax treaty with the United States, such item is attributable to a permanent establishment or, in the case of gain realized by an individual non-U.S. Holder, a fixed place of business in the United States; (2) in the case of a disposition of our ordinary shares, the individual non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and other specified conditions are met; (3) the non-U.S. Holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. tax law applicable to U.S. expatriates.

In general, non-U.S. Holders will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to the payment of dividends on our ordinary shares if payment is made through a paying agent, or office of a foreign broker outside the United States. However, if payment is made in the United States or by a U.S. related person, non-U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding, unless the non-U.S. Holder provides on an applicable Form W-8 (or a substantially similar form) a taxpayer identification number, certifies to its foreign status, or otherwise establishes an exemption. A U.S. related person for these purposes is a person with one or more current relationships with the United States.

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
 
The HIRE Act may impose withholding taxes on some types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” and some other non-U.S. entities. Under the HIRE Act, the failure to comply with additional certification, information reporting and other specified requirements could result in withholding tax being imposed on payments of dividends and sales proceeds to U.S. Holders that own ordinary shares through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries and specified non-U.S. Holders. The HIRE Act imposes a 30% withholding tax on dividends on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, ordinary shares paid from the United States to a foreign financial institution or to a foreign nonfinancial entity, unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes specified diligence and reporting obligations or (ii) the foreign nonfinancial entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner. In addition, if the payee is a foreign financial institution, it generally must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury that requires, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by specified U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to other specified account holders. IRS guidance indicates that final regulations will be issued that will provide that such withholding will only apply to distributions paid on or after January 1, 2014, and to other “withholdable payments” (including payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares) made on or after January 1, 2015. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the HIRE Act.

H. DOCUMENTS ON DISPLAY
 
We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) applicable to foreign private issuers and fulfill the obligations with respect to such requirements by filing reports with the SEC. You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC without charge at the SEC's public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. Copies of such material may be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Branch of the SEC at such address, at prescribed rates. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room. Certain of our SEC filings are also available to the public at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
 
As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were; (i) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, by others within those entities, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared; (ii) providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (iii) not effective.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, they used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all internal control systems no matter how well designed have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of

GAMING VENTURES PLC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gaming Ventures Plc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in deficiency and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have nor we were engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1e to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit ,has not generated positive cash flows since inception. These factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
NOTE 1:-   GENERAL

a.
Gaming Ventures Plc (“Gaming Ventures”), was incorporated under the laws of the Isle of Man on July 11, 2006. Gaming Ventures has 80% equity interest in RNG Gaming Ltd ("RNG") which has filed for voluntary dissolution in 2009 (see 1.c below). Following the sale of RNG' Intellectual Property (see 1.c below), Gaming Ventures no longer offers any development work and software licensing for third parties and is currently a shell company.

b.
According to an agreement between Gaming Ventures and Win Gaming Media Inc. a Delaware Company (formerly Zone 4 Play, Inc.)  ("WGM DE"),, Gaming Ventures purchased from WGM DE all right, title, and interest in its intellectual property rights and assets related to its Black Jack business ("BJ Business") on a "going concern" and "as is" basis, in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $2.25M. The valuation was based on an appraisal report made by an independent appraiser. This promissory note was to be in effect for Five Years from September 25, 2006 (60 months). Principal was supposed to be paid in five (5) equal annual installments of $ 450,000 each and with  interest of $US Libor +1.5% per annum. The entire amount was recorded as a capital surplus since it reflected a transaction among the Win Global Markets group. The technology was previously recorded in WGM DE financial statements at a book value of zero.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not pay any payments owed on account of the promissory note to WGM DE.
 
Effective January 2011 WGM DE forgave all amounts due under the Promissory Note, including all accrued but unpaid interest. Forgiving such amount was recorded in equity as it reflects a transaction between related parties.

c.
On April 13, 2009, RNG entered into an Intellectual Property and Technology Purchase Agreement, (”the Agreement”), under which RNG agreed to sell to an unaffiliated party and a leading online gaming software provider, substantially all of its multiplayer Blackjack tournament software platform, including its related intellectual property, for consideration of a total amount of $250,000 and a 3% share of buyer’s Blackjack revenue (as defined in such agreement) each year for the first 3 years from the date in which the buyer launches full commercial use of the Blackjack game, and 2% of buyer’s Blackjack revenue thereafter for an unlimited duration. The total consideration was used to offset the indebtedness of the parent company to the buyer and this amount was recorded against related party.
$50,000 was attributed to the 20% minority holder in RNG. In 2009 the Company paid $30,000 on account and the second installment of $20,000 was paid in 2010.

NOTE 2:-     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

a.
Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

b.
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

The company's assets and liabilities are stated in U.S. dollars ("dollar"). Company's management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries is the dollar.

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance FASB ACS Topic 830 "Foreign Currency matters". All transactions gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expenses as appropriate.

c.
Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances, have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
d.
Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less.
 
e.
Income taxes:
 
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, when it’s more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2011, the FASB amended its comprehensive income presentation guidance. The amendment requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred certain provisions of this guidance.

In May 2011, the FASB amended its fair value measurements and disclosures guidance. The amendment clarifies the existing guidance and adds new disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company believes that the adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
h.
Fair value measurement

The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
