Net cash used by financing activities was $28,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and $32,247 for the year ended December 31, 2003, which compares to cash provided of $373,091 in the year ended December 31. 2002. This decrease in net cash used by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, is due to the final repayment of capital leases in 2003. The increase in cash used by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, is due to the raising of $295,000 under debentures in 2002. In addition, in 2002, our President and CEO, T.M. Williams and a company owned by him lent $151,750 to the Company.

The Company used cash of $54,184 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to using cash of $7,138 in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to using cash of $271,449 in the year ended December 31, 2002. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, cash of $9,184 (year ended December 31, 2003 - $7,138 and year ended December 31, 2002 - $84,263) was invested in the capital assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company had invested $45,000 in the acquisition of the email list in accordance with the settlement with Roger Ach and Lottery.com. During the year ended December 31, 2002, $184,772 was invested in the minimum guaranteed domain name purchase payments of the domain name rights in accordance with the agreement. There were no payments in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, nor the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company during the year ended December 31, 2002, acquired Bingo.com (UK) plc. for $61,440. The Company deemed it in the best interest of the Company to acquire a subsidiary registered in the United Kingdom for the purpose of establishing a company in the United Kingdom for future expansion.

Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including costs associated with development of our Web portal, the success and acceptance of our new games and the possible acquisition of complementary businesses, products and technologies. We may not have sufficient cash on hand to conduct our operations through 2005. Although our cash flow is improving, we may need to obtain additional financing to grow our operations for the duration of 2005.

There can be no assurances that additional capital will be available when we need it on terms that we consider acceptable. The auditors' report on the Company's December 31, 2003, consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has suffered losses and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Audit Committee

The Company's audit committee is the Board of Directors. The audit committee met with the independent auditors on March 25, 2004, and approved the financials statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Anguilla law provides that shares cannot be issued in an international business company until the consideration in respect of the share is fully paid and when issued, the share is for all purposes fully paid and non-assessable. Shares may be issued under the International Business Companies Act for money, services rendered, personal property, real property, a promissory note or other binding obligation.

Page 52



Florida law provides that shares of stock may be issued for consideration that includes services to be performed and that upon the board of directors determining that such consideration to be received is adequate, the stock may be validly issued, and will be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Generally under Florida law, indemnification is permissible when a director performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner the director believes to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders and has met the requisite standard of care.

Under the Anguilla International Business Companies Act, an international business company may indemnify any officer or director provided that the person being indemnified has acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Shareholders' Consent to Action

Under the Anguilla International Business Companies Act, unless the Company's articles or bylaws provide otherwise, an action that may be taken by stockholders at a meeting of stockholders may also be taken by a resolution of stockholders without prior notice and without a vote. The consent resolution in writing must be signed by the holders of outstanding voting stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Vote Required for Merger

In addition, Florida law permits mergers without the approval of the shareholders of the surviving corporation if the Articles of Incorporation of the surviving corporation will not differ from its articles before the merger and each holder of shares before the merger will hold the same number of shares, with the same rights and restrictions, after the merger.

The 1999 stock option plan may be granted to employees and to such other persons who are not employees as determined by the 1999 stock option plan administrator (the "Administrator"). In determining the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to each option granted under the 1999 stock option plan, consideration is given to the present and potential contribution by such person to the success of the Company.

The 2001 stock option plan provides for the granting to our employees of incentive stock options and the granting to our employees, directors and consultants of non-qualified stock options. Our Board determines the terms and provisions of each option granted under the Stock Option Plans, including the exercise price, vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal and form of payment. In the case of incentive options, the exercise price cannot be less than 100% (or 110%, in the case of incentive options granted to any grantee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or any of our parent or subsidiary corporations) of the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of non-qualified stock options shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock. The exercise price of options intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m) shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock. The aggregate fair market value of the common stock with respect to any incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by an eligible employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

The term of options under the Stock Option Plans will be determined by our Board; however, the term of an incentive stock option may not be for more than ten years (or five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to any grantee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or any of our parent or subsidiary corporations). Where the award agreement permits the exercise of an option for a period of time following the recipient's termination of service with us, disability or death, that option will terminate to the extent not exercised or purchased on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the option, whichever occurs first.

If a third party acquires the Company through the purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or other business combination, except as otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, all unexercised options will terminate unless assumed by the successor corporation. The stock options outstanding at the time of the merger will be assumed by Bingo Anguilla.
