·

Effective January 2004, the Company adopted the new requirements of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, which requires all forms of stock based compensation, including stock options to be accounted for using the Fair Value based method and recorded as an expense over the vesting period.  Previously, the Company did not record any compensation cost on the granting of stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants as the exercise price was equal to or greater than the market price at the date of the grants.  Options granted are accounted for using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

·

As a result of this change in accounting, the 2004 opening deficit was restated on a retroactive basis to show the effect of compensation expense associated with stock option grants in 2003 of $214,024 and $83,051 in 2002.  Accordingly, contributed surplus was increased by $ 297,075 in 2004.

Item 3.D. Risk Factors


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



·

General Risk Factors: Although management of the Company believes that the conduct of Internet gaming related activities by its Antiguan subsidiary, Action Poker Gaming Inc. (“Action”), represents a lawful business, there is the risk that the legality of the Internet gaming related activities may be challenged by Canadian or other legal authorities.  If the legality of the Internet gaming related activities is challenged and the challenge is sustained, it can have a material adverse impact on the business and financial affairs of the Company.


There is an ongoing effort in the U.S.A. to enact legislation for the prohibition of on-line gaming and for financial transactions pertaining to on-line gaming.  The passage of such legislation could substantially and adversely impact the business and financial affairs of the Company and its licensees.  


The marketplace for the Company’s Gaming Software is constantly undergoing changes, is intensely competitive and is subject to changes in customer preferences.  The Company’s products and services compete against those of other companies that have greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than those of the Company.  Any changes in the internet’s role as the premier computer network information service or any shutdown of internet services by significant internet service providers will have an adverse material impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenues.  Furthermore, the Company can be severely and adversely affected from power failures, internet failures, software failures and hackings.  The Company relies heavily on its employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company also relies on its licensees for the operation of the Company’s Gaming So ftware, the loss of any of which could have an adverse effect on the affairs of the Company. Changes in policies of companies, financial institutions or banks, that handle credit card transactions and/or other types of financial transactions for on-line gaming, can have an adverse impact on the business and financial affairs of the Company.


The profitability of the Company may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the US Dollar in relation to the Canadian Dollar due to the fact that the Company’s revenues are generated in US Dollars while a certain portion of the Company’s expenses are incurred in Canadian Dollars.


·

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


·

Revenues and Dividends:  While the Company has recently started generating meaningful revenues, the Company has not yet established a long term pattern of consistently generating meaningful revenues.  The Company intends to retain its earnings in order to finance further growth.  Furthermore, the Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.


·

Investments in Securities:  From time to time, the Company has acquired securities for investment purposes. The Company is exposed to significant market risk with respect to these securities and there are no assurances whatsoever that the Company will recover its investment in these securities.


·

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


·

Penny Stock:  The Company's securities are deemed to be Penny Stocks and are therefore subject to Penny Stock rules as defined in Rule 3a(51)(1) of the 1934 Exchange Act.  The Penny Stock disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of the Company's securities in the secondary market.  Penny Stocks are low-priced shares of small companies not traded on a U.S. national exchange or quoted on Nasdaq.  The Company's securities are quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Penny Stocks, such as the Company's securities, can be very risky.  Prices of Penny Stocks are often not available.  



5




Investors in Penny Stocks are often unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. Investors may lose all their investment in Penny Stocks.  There is no guaranteed rate of return on Penny Stocks.  Before an investor purchases any Penny Stock, U.S. Federal law requires a salesperson to tell the investor the "offer" and the "bid" on the Penny Stock, and the "compensation" the salesperson and the firm receive for the trade.  The firm also must mail a confirmation of these prices to the investor after the trade.  The Investor's Broker-dealer is required to obtain the investor's signature to show that the investor has received the statement titled "Important Information on Penny Stocks" before the investor first trades in a Penny Stock.  This Statement is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an d contains important information on Penny Stocks.  Furthermore, under penalty of Federal Law the Investor's brokerage firm must tell the investor at two different times - before the investor agrees to buy or sell a Penny Stock, and after the trade, by written confirmation the following:  1) the bid and offer price quotes for the Penny Stock, and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply, 2) the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, 3) the compensation received by the brokerage firm's salesperson for the trade.  In addition, to these items listed above the investor’s brokerage firm must send the investor monthly account statements and a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals as required by the Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.


ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company


The legal and commercial name of the company is:


LAS VEGAS FROM HOME.COM ENTERTAINMENT INC.


The Company was incorporated by Memorandum and Articles under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on May 27, 1980 under the name of "Mountain Fertilizer Products Ltd." (Exhibit 3.1 - Incorporated by reference)  On June 30, 2005, the shareholders adopted a new form of articles (Exhibit 3.2* - Attached) under the New British Columbia Corporations Act at the Annual & Special General Meeting of its shareholders held June 30, 2005 (Exhibit 20.3 – Incorporated by reference).


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


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


In 1985, Directors of Titleist resolved to merge, acquire and enter into a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Comp-Data USA, Inc., a computer related company, and on September 5, 1986, Titleist's name was changed to "Comp-Data International Inc." ("Comp-Data") and its authorized capital was consolidated on the basis of five-old-shares for every one new share.  


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


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



6





In November 1989, the Company's Directors resolved to change the business activity of the Company and to make the Registrant a natural resource company, whereby the Company would acquire, explore and, if warranted, develop mineral properties.  Consequently, the Company changed its name to "Armenex Resources Canada Inc." and on July 4, 1990 consolidated its authorized capital on the basis of five-old shares for one-new share.  


Subsequently, a re-organization was deemed necessary by the Directors of the Company.  Pursuant to the Company's Directors' resolutions, on August 31, 1994, the Company changed its name to "Ecuadorean Copperfields Inc." and consolidated its authorized capital on the basis of five-old shares for one-new share.  


In 1996, due to the large number of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, Directors of the Company decided that, in order for the Company to be in a better position to attract public financings, the Company consolidate its authorized capital on the basis of three-old shares for one-new share and change its name to "Bronx Minerals Inc.".  On June 14, 1996, the Company changed its name to "Bronx Minerals Inc." and consolidated its authorized capital on the basis of three-old shares for one-new share.  


During 1998 and 1999, the Company attempted to acquire mineral projects of merit but was unsuccessful in its attempts.  Due to the difficult times that mining companies were experiencing, management of the Company resolved that it would be in the best interest of the Company to get out of the mineral exploration business and become an Internet gaming and entertainment corporation.  Consequently, at the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders which was held on August 12, 1999, Shareholders approved a Special Resolution to change the name of the Company to Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment Inc. in order to reflect the business activities of the Company.  The Company’s application of change of its business was officially approved by the Canadian Venture Exchange (“CDNX”) on January 6, 2000.


It has always been the intention of the Directors (past and present) to ensure that the Company survives.  As resolved by the Company's Directors all the reorganizations which the Company undertook were necessary for the Company's survival.  The reorganizations have been carried out in accordance with, and in full compliance of, the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX Venture”) [formerly the CDNX and prior to that, the Vancouver Stock Exchange (“VSE”)].  All of the Company's reorganizations were approved by the Canadian Regulatory Authorities and the Company's Shareholders.

Item 4.B. Business Overview


Summary


LVFH is an Internet Gaming and Entertainment corporation.  Previously, the Company was called Bronx Minerals Inc. and was engaged in the mineral exploration business. On September 3, 1999, the Company officially changed its name, and on January 6, 2000, the CDNX approved the Company’s application for change of business from mineral exploration to Internet gaming and entertainment.  


The Company is in the business of developing software for on-line multi-player interactive card games (the “Company’s Gaming Software”).  The Licensing of the Company’s Gaming Software to third parties and the gaming and entertainment operations are carried on by the Company’s wholly owned Antiguan subsidiary, Action.  The principal revenues of Action are from collecting rakes, licensing fees and royalties.  Action operates as an internet host of card games and collects a fee (rake) as host and does not participate in the actual card games.


During 2002, Action moved its operations from its location in Antigua to the facilities of Mohawk Internet Technologies Inc. ("Mohawk") which acts as its hosting facility for its servers, located on the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve ("Kahnawake") in Canada.  The Kahnawake Gaming Commission has issued to Action, an interactive gaming license to operate and exploit an Internet gaming facility, to be located at Mohawk.


Kahnawake has reserve status in Canada, and has its own regulations and laws concerning interactive gaming.  These regulations allow the Kahnawake Gaming Commission to issue a gaming licence to a third party authorizing the conduct of authorized games by means of a telecommunication device, including the Internet.  


During 2005, Action licensed from an arm’s length third party, an online casino, which is operated by Action.


The Company’s common shares were first listed and posted for trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange (now known as the TSX Venture Exchange) on September 15, 1983.  The Company’s current trading symbol on the TSX Venture Exchange is “LVH”.  Effective July, 1999, the Company’s common shares began trading in the U.S.A., on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “LVFHF”.  As of September 1, 2000, the Company’s common shares are listed for trading under the symbol “LVH” on the Berlin Stock Exchange.  Effective February 27, 2006, the Company’s common shares were listed for trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Effective January 2004, the Company adopted the new requirements of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, which requires all forms of stock based compensation, including stock options to be accounted for using the Fair Value based method and recorded as an expense over the vesting period.  Previously, the Company did not record any compensation cost on the granting of stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants as the exercise price was equal to or greater than the market price at the date of the grants.  Options granted are accounted for using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

·

As a result of this change in accounting, the 2004 opening deficit was restated on a retroactive basis to show the effect of compensation expense associated with stock option grants in 2003 of $214,024 and $83,051 in 2002.  Accordingly, contributed surplus was increased by $ 297,075 in 2004.

Accounts Receivable

Player Deposits


Player deposits are included in the Company’s Accounts Payables, and represent funds deposited by the Players.


Software development costs


Research costs are expensed as incurred.  Costs related to the development of software are expensed as incurred unless such costs meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  The criteria include identifiable costs attributable to a clearly defined product, the establishment of technical feasibility, identification of a market for the software, the Company’s intent to market the software, and the existence of adequate resources to complete the project.  Software development costs are amortized over an estimated useful life of five years or prorated over its expected revenue stream whichever is higher, commencing in the year when commercial sales of the products commence.  Capitalized software development is evaluated in each reporting period to determine whether it continues to meet the criteria for continued deferral and amortization.

Item 7.B - Related Party Transactions


The Company entered into a licensing agreement on November 4, 2002, with Bronx Ventures Inc. (formerly Lucky 1 Enterprises Inc.) [“Bronx”], a related party, for the joint development of certain on-line gaming software consisting of three card games; Pan, Big 2, and Chinese Poker (the “three card games Software”)  (Exhibit 10.8 – Incorporated by reference)  In respect to this transaction, the Company received the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange on November 21, 2002.  The three card games Software is equally owned by the Company and Bronx.  The Company is the operator of the three card games Software. The Company receives 60% and Bronx receives 40% of all revenues that are generated from the operation of the three card games Software.  


The Company’s 60% share of revenues from the three card games Software for the year ended December 31 2005 was $727,206 as compared to $438,560 for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2003:$151,425).  


The Company has paid to Bronx $484,804 representing 40% of revenues generated from the three card games Software for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $292,372 for the year ended December 31, 2004. (2003:$100,951).


The Company’s 60% share of revenues from the three card games software for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was $219,456 (2005: $153,540; 2004: $56,412).


The Company has paid to Bronx $146,304 representing 40% of revenues generated from the three card games software for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 (2005: $102,360; (2004: $37,608).


Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company and Bronx, determined that it would be in their best interests if Bronx would sell its interest in the three card games Software to the Company.


As Bronx and the Company have certain common directors and senior officers, both companies jointly appointed an independent third party, namely Evans & Evans Inc. of Vancouver, B.C. (“E&E”), to provide a valuation report and fairness opinion letter in respect to the proposed transaction.  Independent Board Committees for both companies were appointed to deal with all aspects of the proposed transaction.


E&E has completed and presented to both Bronx and LVFH its Fairness Opinion Letter and Valuation Report.


E&E’s Fairness Opinion Letter and Valuation Report has concluded that the proposed transaction would be fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of both Bronx and LVFH if:-


1.

Bronx’s interest in the three card games Software is valued at $2,400,000; and

2.

LVFH is valued at CDN $33,500,000 or $0.36 per share.


Consequently, Bronx has entered into a Purchase and Novation Agreement with the Company whereby Bronx has agreed to sell all its right, title and interest in and to the three card games Software to the Company for a consideration of 6,670,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Purchase and Novation Agreement”).  The Purchase and Novation Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX”) and such approval from the TSX was received on April 28, 2006.  The closing of the transaction took place on May 5, 2006 and as a result, Las Vegas purchased Bronx’s 50% ownership interest and 40% revenue interest in the three card games Software for a consideration of 6,670,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of Las Vegas at a deemed price of $0.36 per share which are restricted from trading until May 1, 2007.


It is anticipated that this transaction shall provide the Company with an additional revenue stream.


For the year ended December 31, 2005, Kalpakian Bros. of B.C. Ltd. ("Kalpakian Bros.") was paid $270,000 (2004: $180,000; 2003: $180,000).  The principals of Kalpakian Bros. are Bedo H. Kalpakian and Jacob H. Kalpakian, both Company directors and officers.  Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement (the "Agreement") effective July 1, 2005 (Exhibit 10.9* - Attached) the remuneration payable to Kalpakian Bros. is $30,000 per month plus GST.  Kalpakian Bros. is also entitled to reimbursement for all traveling and other expenses incurred by it in connection with performing its services.  The term of the Agreement is for five years and the term automatically extends for additional one-year periods on each anniversary date of the Agreement, unless the Company, not less than 180 days prior to any such anniversary, gives written notice to Kalpakian Bros. that it does not wish to further extend the Agreement.  If the Agreement is termi nated by the Company other than for just cause, or is terminated by Kalpakian Bros. for good

The Company's corporate legal counsel is Anfield, Sujir, Kennedy & Durno, Barristers and Solicitors, Attn: Michael Kennedy, 1600 – 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V7Y 1C5 [telefax number: (604) 669-3877].


During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company was involved in a lawsuit with an arm’s length third party (“Third Party”) for patent infringement.  Even though Management of the Company was of the opinion that the lawsuit was frivolous and of no merit, nevertheless Management decided that it would be more prudent and cost effective to have an amicable out-of-court settlement.  The Company reached an out-of-court settlement, by entering into a License and Settlement Agreement dated February 17, 2005, (the “License and Settlement Agreement”) (Exhibit 10.1- Incorporated by reference) whereby the Company had agreed to pay to the Third Party a series of royalty payments, not to exceed the sum of US$200,000, which were payable as follows:


(a)

Four equal instalments of US$25,000 until November 2, 2005;,

(b)

Quarterly payments of US$10,000 for every US$1,000,000 of Las Vegas’ cumulative rake income commencing January 1, 2005, for up to US$5,000,000 of Las Vegas’ cumulative rake revenues; and,

(c)

A single payment of US$50,000 for the first subsequent US$5,000,000 of Las Vegas’ cumulative rake revenues after the above mentioned US$5,000,000 would have been reached.


On May 6th, 2005, the Company and the Third Party entered into a Modification to “License & Settlement Agreement dated February 17, 2005” (Exhibit 10.2 - Incorporated by reference) whereby the Company paid one final payment of US$90,000 as full and final settlement, and complete release of all the Company’s royalty obligations.  As a result, the Company recorded a gain of Cdn $97,382 in its statement of operations and deficit for the year ended December 31, 2005.


The Company is presently not a party to any legal proceeding of any kind.

The Company has never paid and does not intend to pay any dividends in the future.


Item 8.B. Significant Changes.


As of December 31, 2005, and up until May 31, 2006, there were no significant changes in the affairs of the Company except for the following:-


Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company and Bronx, a related party, determined that it would be in their best interests if Bronx would sell its interest in the three card games Software to the Company.


As Bronx and the Company have certain common directors and senior officers, both companies jointly appointed an independent third party, namely Evans & Evans Inc. of Vancouver, B.C. (“E&E”), to provide a valuation report and fairness opinion letter in respect to the proposed transaction.  Independent Board Committees for both companies were appointed to deal with all aspects of the proposed transaction.



30





E&E has completed and presented to both Bronx and LVFH its Fairness Opinion Letter and Valuation Report.


E&E’s Fairness Opinion Letter and Valuation Report has concluded that the proposed transaction would be fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of both Bronx and LVFH if:-


1.

Bronx’s interest in the three card games Software is valued at $2,400,000; and

2.

LVFH is valued at CDN $33,500,000 or $0.36 per share.


Consequently, Bronx has entered into a Purchase and Novation Agreement with the Company whereby Bronx has agreed to sell all its right, title and interest in and to the three card games Software to the Company for a consideration of 6,670,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Purchase and Novation Agreement”).  The Purchase and Novation Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX”) and such approval from the TSX was received on April 28, 2006.  The closing of the transaction took place on May 5, 2006 and as a result, Las Vegas purchased Bronx’s 50% ownership interest and 40% revenue interest in the three card games Software for a consideration of 6,670,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of Las Vegas at a deemed price of $0.36 per share which are restricted from trading until May 1, 2007.


It is anticipated that this transaction shall provide the Company with an additional revenue stream.

Item 10.C. Material Contracts


The Company entered into a licensing agreement on November 4, 2002, with Bronx, a related party, for the joint development of certain on-line gaming software consisting of three card games; Pan, Big 2, and Chinese Poker, (the “three card games software”) (Exhibit 10.8 – Incorporated by reference).  In respect to this transaction, the Company received the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange on November 21, 2002.  


Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company and Bronx determined that it would be in their best interests if Bronx would sell its interest in the three card games Software to the Company.


Consequently, Bronx has entered into a Purchase and Novation Agreement with the Company whereby Bronx has agreed to sell all its right, title and interest in and to the three card games Software to the Company for a consideration of 6,670,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Purchase and Novation Agreement”).  The Purchase and Novation Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX”) and such approval from the TSX was received on April 28, 2006.  The closing of the transaction took place on May 5, 2006 and as a result, Las Vegas purchased Bronx’s 50% ownership interest and 40% revenue interest in the three card games Software for a consideration of 6,670,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of Las Vegas at a deemed price of $0.36 per share which are restricted from trading until May 1, 2007.


Item 10.D. Exchange Controls


(a)

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


(b)

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


Item 10.E. Taxation


General


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


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


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


CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS


Dividends on Common Stock


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



39




Exemptions from Withholding Tax


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


Dispositions of Common Stock


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS


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


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

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


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




40




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


Generally, a U.S. shareholder will realize ordinary income on the receipt of cash dividends or property distributions from an investment in the shares of a foreign corporation to the extent such dividends are paid out of the foreign company's current accumulated earnings and profits.  To the extent of any withholding taxes, both individual and corporate investors must include such taxes in income and, in turn, claim a foreign tax credit.  Certain corporate investors are also entitled to gross up the underlying foreign corporate income taxes and claim a foreign tax credit.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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



41





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


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


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

Evaluation of internal controls


(a)

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures [(as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d -14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)] as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F.  Under the supervision and with the participations of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, except as discussed below, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives and, based on the evaluation described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance, except as discussed below.




43




In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our independent auditors informed us that they had discovered deficiencies in our internal control that in the aggregate constitute material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  These deficiencies include lack of active collaboration and communication between the employees outside the accounting department whose work has an impact on the financial information and the accounting department and lack of timely reconciliations of various accounts.


Certain of these internal control weaknesses may also constitute deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls.  We have performed substantial additional procedures designed to ensure that these internal control deficiencies do not lead to material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements and to enable the completion of the independent auditor’s audit of our consolidated financial statements, notwithstanding the presence of such internal controls weaknesses.  We have initiated corrective actions to address these internal control deficiencies, and will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis, taking corrective actions as appropriate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


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


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Las Vegas from Home.com Entertainment Inc. as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR US READERS ON CANADA-US REPORTING DIFFERENCES


In the United States, reporting standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern, such as those described in note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated March 17, 2006 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING-CONCERN


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


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


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


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


The Kahnawake Gaming Commission issued to Action an interactive gaming license to operate and exploit an Internet gaming facility, to be located at Mohawk. Action is the owner and operator of www.tigergaming.com, www.actionpoker.com, www.atlantisworldpoker.com, www.holycowpoker.com and www.pokerincanada.com.  Furthermore, Action hosts and operates other online poker websites on behalf of its licensees.


The gaming and entertainment operations are carried on by Action. The principal revenues of Action are from collecting rakes, licensing fees and royalties. Action operates mainly as an Internet host of card games and collects a fee as host (rake).


During 2005, Action has licensed from an arm’s length third party an online Casino Software (”Online Casino”), which is operated by Action under the URL www.playvegasfromhome.com.


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


Prior to the current fiscal year, the Company incurred significant operating losses in previous fiscal years. Management’s efforts are directed at increasing revenues and pursuing opportunities of merit for the Company.


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


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

2.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.  As described in note 17, these principles differ in certain respects from those that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


3.

COMPARATIVE FIGURES


Certain prior year amounts have been restated to be comparative to the current year’s presentation.


4.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)

Principles of consolidation


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Las Vegas from Home.com Entertainment Inc. (Canada) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Action Poker Gaming Inc. (Antigua), Action Commerce Limited (United Kingdom), APG Enterprises Limited (Cyprus) and APG Enterprises (Armenia).  The Company’s inactive subsidiaries, Tiger Ventures Corp. and Georgia Enterprises Corp., both of which were Panamanian companies, were dissolved during the year.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


(b)

Cash and term deposits


Cash and term deposits consist of cash on hand and term deposits with maturities of less than one year at the date of acquisition.


(c)

Marketable securities


Marketable securities are valued at the lower of cost and market at the balance sheet date.


(d)

Amortization


Amortization of software and development costs and equipment is calculated on the following bases and annual rates:


Software and development costs

- 5 years straight-line

Computer equipment

- 30% declining-balance

Automobile

- 30% declining-balance

Office furniture

- 20% declining-balance



54




4.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(e)

Software development costs


Research costs are expensed as incurred.  Costs related to the development of software are expensed as incurred unless such costs meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  The criteria include identifiable costs attributable to a clearly defined product, the establishment of technical feasibility, identification of a market for the software, the Company’s intent to market the software, and the existence of adequate resources to complete the project.  Software development costs are amortized over an estimated useful life of five years or prorated over its expected revenue stream whichever is higher, commencing in the year when commercial sales of the products commence.  Capitalized software development is evaluated in each reporting period to determine whether it continues to meet the criteria for continued deferral and amortization.


(f)

Stock-based compensation plans


Effective January 2004, the Company adopted the requirements of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, which requires an expense to be recognized in the financial statements for all forms of stock-based compensation including stock options.  Previously, the Company did not record any compensation cost on the granting of stock options, as the exercise price was equal to or greater than the market price at the date of the grants.  Options granted are accounted for using the fair value method where compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.


As a result of this change in accounting, the 2004 opening deficit was restated on a retroactive basis to show the effect of compensation expense associated with stock option grants in 2003 of $214,024 and $83,051 in 2002.  Accordingly, contributed surplus was increased by $297,075 in 2004.


(g)

Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes revenues from licensees and customers on an accrual basis according to the terms and conditions of each individual license agreement.  Allowances for non-collection of revenues are made when collectibility becomes uncertain.


Each license agreement generates a minimum of two or a maximum of three different types of revenue.


Recognition of revenue for each type of revenue is as follows:


(i)

License fees for all licensees


License fees are one-time non-refundable fees, which are for entering into the license agreements.  License fees are recognized when received.


(ii)

Rake percentage from licensees


Rake revenue earned by the Company is based on negotiated percentages of gross rake revenue as specified in the agreements with licensees, which vary from agreement to agreement.  The Company recognizes its percentage of rake revenue at the end of the month based on the rake collected on behalf of the licensees; the balance is then paid out to the licensees in the subsequent month.

Revenue recognition (Continued)


(iii)

Administration fees


Administration fees revenue earned by the Company is based on negotiated percentages as specified in the agreements with certain licensees, which vary from agreement to agreement.  The fees charged are for administrative services provided by the Company.  The Company recognizes these fees as a percentage of the rake collected on behalf of each licensee on a monthly basis.


(iv)

Rake revenue


Rake revenue from customers coming through the Company’s own websites is collected when a player joins a table, and is non-refundable.  As such, revenue is recognized when a player joins a table.


(v)

The Company has an agreement with Bronx Ventures Inc. (“Bronx”), a related party whereby Bronx receives 40% of the revenue from certain card games (note 13(c)(iv)).  Las Vegas reduces its revenue by these amounts.


(vi)

The Company recognizes revenues/losses from its Online Casino once a player loses or wins the wager.


(h)

Income taxes


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


(i)

Foreign currency translation


The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar; therefore, amounts recorded in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:


(i)

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


(ii)

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


(iii)

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


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




56



4.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(j)

Earnings (loss) per share


Earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.


Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares.  The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other instruments.  The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the prevailing market rates.  Stock options and warrants that are anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation.


The dilutive effect of options and warrants was not reflected in loss per share for 2004 and 2003 as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.


(k)

Use of estimates


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


(l)

Player deposits


Player deposits are included in the Company’s accounts payables and represent funds deposited by the players.


(m)

Consolidation of variable interest entities


The Company has adopted Accounting Guideline 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, issued by the CICA for annual and interim periods beginning on or after November 1, 2004.  This guideline addresses the application of consolidation principles to entities that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership of voting interests.  The adoption of this guideline did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


(n)

Intangible assets


The Company has registered and regularly renews several hundred domain names.  These amounts are insignificant and are expensed when incurred.

5.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


(a)

Fair value


The carrying values of cash and term deposits, marketable securities, accounts receivable, cheques issued in excess of funds on deposit, customers deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to and from related parties, and obligation under capital lease approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.


(b)

Interest rate risk


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


(c)

Credit risk


The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable; however, risk on accounts receivable is minimal as receivables are from major Internet payment processors.


(d)

Foreign currencies


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


(e)

Market risk


The Company is exposed to market risk with respect to marketable securities from adverse fluctuations in their market value and in the event the marketable securities are de-listed from public trading.

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


The capitalized software and development costs are for the continuous and on-going process of developing the Company’s on-line gaming software.  This would include improving the functionality of the gaming software, enhancing the gaming software by adding new games and/or features, increasing the player capacity of the gaming software and modifying the gaming software to meet certain requirements.


During 2001, the Company commenced developing its own multi-player interactive card games software.  The amount of $180,901 has been capitalized under software and development costs.  Amortization commenced in 2002 as the software was commercially released during the year.  During 2004 and 2005, additional amounts of $659,979 (Salaries - $571,600, Other - $88,379) and $979,579 (Salaries - $964,745, Other - $14,834), respectively, were capitalized as software development costs.

Pursuant to a loan agreement, the loan from Interactive of US $250,000 (Cdn $275,608) was obtained in June 2004, and was payable in monthly installments equal to 5% of Action’s revenues for the first twelve months and 10% of Action’s revenues thereafter until the repayment of the loan.  The entire amount was fully repaid by the Company on March 15, 2005.  In lieu of interest, the Company was obliged to make monthly bonus payments to Interactive equal to 5% of Action’s revenues for a period of twelve months.  Bonus payments totalling US $20,709 were made up to October 2004.  On April 15, 2005, as consideration for the early repayment of the loan by the Company, Interactive cancelled the loan agreement and has forever forgiven all outstanding and future bonus payments that were payable pursuant to the loan agreement.


The license fee from settlement of US $200,000 (Cdn $240,400) was the maximum amount of a series of royalty payments that were payable to an arm’s length third party (the “Third Party”) as follows:


(a)

four equal installments of US $25,000 until November 2, 2005;


(b)

quarterly payments of US $10,000 for every US $1,000,000 of Las Vegas’ cumulative rake income commencing January 1, 2005 for up to US $5,000,000 of Las Vegas’ cumulative rake revenues; and


(c)

a single payment of US $50,000 for the first subsequent US $5,000,000 of Las Vegas’ cumulative rake revenues after the above-mentioned US $5,000,000 would have been reached.


On May 6, 2005, the Company and the Third Party entered into a modification to “License and Settlement Agreement” of February 17, 2005, whereby the Company paid one final payment of US $90,000 as full and final settlement, and complete release of all the Company’s royalty obligations.  As a result, the Company recorded a gain of Cdn $97,382 in its statement of operations and deficit for the year ended December 31, 2005.


Prior to May 6, 2005, the Company had paid US $25,000 to the Third Party.

During 2002, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “2002 Plan”) under which the Company may issue 3,810,349 stock options to acquire common shares in the capital of the Company as an incentive to officers, directors, employees and consultants who can contribute to the success of the Company.  The 2002 Plan has received TSX approval.  In addition to the 2002 Plan, the Company’s shareholders adopted and approved the Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”) under which the Company may reserve up to 10% of its issued and outstanding capital stock for issuance under the Company’s stock option plan on a “rolling” basis, meaning the 10% limit is calculated from time to time whenever an option is granted and is based on the number of the then issued and outstanding common shares.  The 2003 Plan has received TSX approval.


During 2004, the Company’s shareholders adopted and approved the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”) that replaces the Company’s aforementioned 2002 and 2003 Stock Option Plans.  The 2004 Plan, which has received the approval of the TSX, reserved 11,290,154 common shares for issuance representing 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on April 12, 2004.  At the Annual and Special General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders, which was held on June 30, 2005, the shareholders approved the amendment to the Company’s 2004 Plan by increasing the maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Stock Option Plan to 15,866,936 common shares (the “Company’s Amended 2004 Stock Option Plan”).  Pursuant to the Company’s Amended 2004 Stock Option Plan that has received TSX approval, the Company grants stock options to employees, directors, officers and consultants.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 2,740,500 common shares of the Company to directors, employees and consultants as a result of exercising stock options at prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.20 per common share for total proceeds to the Company of $463,360.


The following summarizes the officer, director, employee and consultant stock options that have been granted, exercised, cancelled and expired during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.  The options vest 25% on grant and thereafter 25% every six months.

CAPITAL STOCK (Continued)


(e)

Stock option compensation


The Company applies the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accounting for its stock options granted.  Accordingly, compensation expense of $146,963 (2004 - $1,489,526; 2003 - $357,152) was recognized as salaries expense, and $182,436 (2004 - $833,478; 2003 - $171,305) was recognized as consulting expense in 2005.  These amounts are credited to contributed surplus and then subsequently transferred to capital stock on exercise of the options.


The fair value of each option grant was calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES


(a)

Recent US accounting pronouncements


(i)

FAS 153, “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets”.  The provisions of this statement is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after December 16, 2004.  The provisions of this statement should be applied prospectively.  There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.


(ii)

In March 2005, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”.  FIN 47 clarifies that the term “Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  Management does not believe the a doption of FIN 47 will have a material affect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

17.  

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES (Continued)


(a)  

Recent US accounting pronouncements (Continued)


(iii)

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which replaced Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”.  SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principles.  It requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The impact of the Company’s operations will depend on future accounting pronouncements or changes in a ccounting principles.


(iv)

FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, applies at different dates to different types of enterprises and entities, and special provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied Interpretation 46 prior to issuance of Interpretation 46(R).  Application of Interpretation 46 or Interpretation 46(R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003.  Application by public entities (other than small business issuers) for all other types of entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004.  Application by small business issuers to entities other than special purpose entities and by non-public entities to all types of entities is required at va rious dates in 2004 and 2005.  In some instances, enterprises have the option of applying or continuing to apply Interpretation 46 for a short period of time before applying Interpretation 46(R).  There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements.


(v)

In 2004, FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.  This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance.  This revised pronouncement requires that all stock options and warrants be accounted for using the fair value method.  This pronouncement had no impact on the Company, as the Company accounts for all options using the fair value method, under Canadian GAAP.


(b)

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



72





17.  

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES (Continued)


(b)  

(Continued)


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


(i)

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


For US GAAP purposes, unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, which are classified as trading securities, are recognized in earnings in the period they occur.  For Canadian GAAP, gains and losses are only recognized in the income statements when realized.


(ii)

Under US GAAP, comprehensive income must be reported, which is defined as all changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.


Other comprehensive income includes the unrealized holding gains and losses on the available-for-sale securities.


(iii)

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company did not meet the criteria to adopt prospectively the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, and therefore, had to adopt the change retroactively.  Under US GAAP, the Company has the option to adopt the change either prospectively or retroactively.  For US GAAP, the Company adopted the change, prospectively.

Exhibit 11*




Explanation of how earnings/loss per (weighted average) share is calculated


Earnings and Loss per share are calculated by dividing the net loss or profit by the total weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is obtained as follows:-


Whenever the Company issues shares from its treasury during a specific reporting period, the number of common shares issued is pro-rated over the remaining months of the year, and such number is added to the December 31st closing balance of the previous year.

i.

ii.

if a Participant dies, the legal representative of the Participant may exercise the Participant's Options within one year after the date of the Participant's death, but only to the extent the Options were by their term exercisable on the date of death.

e.

Each Option shall be confirmed by an option agreement executed by the Corporation and by the Participant to whom such Option is granted.  Subject to specific variations approved by the Board in respect of any Option, such variations not to be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, all terms and conditions set out in the Plan will be incorporated by reference into and form part of any Option granted under the Plan.

f.

The exercise price of each Share purchased under an Option shall be paid in full in cash or by bank draft or certified cheque at the time of such exercise, and upon receipt of payment in full, but subject to the terms of the Plan and the related option agreement, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.

h.

Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained in the Plan or in any Option, the Corporation's obligation to issue Shares to a Participant pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be subject to:

- 8 -

the receipt from the Participant of such representations, agreements and undertakings, including as to future dealings in such Shares, as counsel to the Corporation reasonably determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the laws of any jurisdiction.

i.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board may, at its sole discretion and at any time and from time to time, with respect to any particular Participant who holds an Option that has not fully vested, determine, as evidenced by a Board resolution, that if there is a Take Over Bid, the Option held by that Participant may be exercised by that Participant in full at any time or from time to time on or before its expiry date.  For the purposes of this Section 2.3 (j), “Take Over Bid” has the meaning assigned thereto in the Securities Act (British Columbia), but excludes an exempt take over bid pursuant to section 98 of that Act.

j.

Any Participant to whom an Option is granted under the Plan who subsequently ceases to hold the position in which he received such Option shall continue to be eligible to hold such Option as a Participant as long as he otherwise falls within the definition of “Eligible Person” in any capacity.

2.4.

Amendments to Option Grants

Subject to the policies of Exchange, the Board may amend any Option, provided that:

a.

if an amendment impairs such Option or is adverse to the holder thereof, the amendment shall only be made effective after the written consent of the affected Participant to such amendment is received; and

b.

if an amendment reducing the Option exercise price is made to an Option held by an Insider, the amendment shall only be made effective after the approval is received of Disinterested Shareholders at a general meeting of the Shareholders of the Corporation.

PART 3
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

3.1.

The holder of an Option shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any of the Shares covered by such Option until such holder shall have exercised such Option in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including tendering payment in full of the Option exercise price of the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised).

3.2.

Nothing in the Plan or any Option shall confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the employment or engagement of the Corporation or any Affiliate or affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any Affiliate to terminate his employment or engagement at any time; nor shall anything in the Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the Corporation or any Affiliate to extend the employment or engagement of any Participant beyond the date on which he would normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future

- 9 -


retirement plan of the Corporation or any Affiliate, or beyond the date on which his relationship with the Corporation or any Affiliate would otherwise be terminated pursuant to the provisions of any employment, consulting or other contract for services with the Corporation or any Affiliate.

3.3.

If and to the extent any Option granted under the Plan expires or is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in whole or in part, the number of Shares in respect of which such Option expired or was cancelled or terminated shall be considered to be part of the pool of Shares available for Options under the Plan and may be made the subject of a further Option or Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

3.4.

The Corporation makes no representation or warranty as to whether it will be successful in maintaining its listing on the Exchange or whether it will be successful in obtaining a listing for the Shares on any other stock exchange or as to the future market value of the Shares issued on the exercise of any Option.
