NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED MAY 31, 2003

(Unaudited - See Notice to Reader)
(A Development Stage Company)
(Presented in Canadian Dollars)

 

    Note 1                STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT ON UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

    Note 2                SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         a)    Commitments and Contingencies

The Company's activities are subject to various governmental laws and regulations relating to horseracing, virtual horseracing and online jackpot wagering. These regulations are continually changing. The Company believes its operations comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations.

                             b)    Basic of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sungold Entertainment USA, Inc., Horsepower Broadcasting Network Inc. and Horsepower Broadcasting Network (HBN) International Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

                             c)    Translation of Foreign Currencies:

Accounts recorded in foreign currency have been converted to Canadian dollars as follows:

  • Current assets and current liabilities at exchange rates at the end of the year;
  • Other assets at historical rates;
  • Revenues and expenses at the average rate of exchange for the month incurred.

Gains and losses resulting from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates are included in the determination of income.

                            d)    Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure 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.

        e)     Pre-development costs

The cost of each pre-development project is capitalized until commercial production is established. If management determines that a project is not economically viable, the property and related deferred expenditures are written off.

The costs deferred at any time do not necessarily reflect present or future values. The ultimate recovery of such amounts depends on the Company successfully developing and commencing the project.

f)    Capital Assets and Amortization

Capital assets are recorded at cost with amortization provided on a declining balance as follows:

Computer equipment 30%
Computers under capital leases 30%
Internet software 20%
Furniture and fixtures 20%

The above rate has been utilized to reflect the anticipated life expectancy. In the year of acquisition only one-half the normal rate is applied.

g)    Income Taxes

Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statements carrying values and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences). Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantively enacted. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

h)    Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 6 a). No compensation expense is recognized for these plans when stock options are issued to members of the Board of Directors. Any consideration paid by members of the Board of Directors upon exercise of stock options is recorded as an increase to share capital.

    Note 3                PRE-DEVELOPMENT COSTS

                              a)     Gun Lake Indian Band project

In 1994 the Company entered into an agreement with the Gun Lake Indian Band ("Band") in Michigan, USA to develop and manage a full service casino and gaming operation.

The Company had filed a comprehensive lawsuit in the Michigan courts against the Band. The litigation arose out of notification that the Band would not honour its agreement with the Company. The Company sued for specific performance and is seeking damages. The Michigan Court of Appeals court dismissed the appeal on the basis of the Defendants' claim of sovereign immunity. The Company is considering applying for permission for a review of these issues with the United States Federal Supreme Court, having been recently denied leave to appeal in the Michigan Supreme Court. Recently, the Michigan Court ruled that the State of Michigan is required to issue a gaming compact to the Gun Lake Tribe. During the period, no pre-development costs were capitalized under Gun Lake Indian Band project.

b)    Vancouver Racecourse / Richmond Equine Training Centre project

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the Company has presented a proposal to renovate the Hastings Park horse track facility in conjunction with the construction of a one-mile thoroughbred training centre in Richmond.

The Company is in a process of negotiating an option to purchase 100 acres in Richmond, British Columbia.

In September 2002, the Company renegotiated to extend the agreement with a related party who is interested in both the Vancouver one-mile racecourse and the Richmond equine training centre project. The agreement set out the intention of both parties that upon the Company receiving the appropriate permission from the City of Richmond, BC and from the province of British Columbia to develop the project, the interested party would purchase 6 million common treasury shares of Sungold Entertainment Corp. at US$4.00 per share by way of a private placement. The agreement was extended to October 1, 2003.

c)    HorsepowerTM Software Development project

On September 15, 1999, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Horsepower.com Network Inc. in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia), and its principal activity is developing internet wagering and payment processing software. On March 22, 2000, the subsidiary name changed to Horsepower Network.com Inc., and on January 25, 2001, the subsidiary name changed to Horsepower Broadcasting Network Inc. ("HBN").

Since 1999 the Company has developed the Horsepower parimutal, random, world wagering pool which is based on a virtual Horserace system.

Sungold owns the exclusive proprietary rights to operate the Horsepower World Pool (HPWP), market the HorsepowerTM system, license the system, sell commercial sponsorships, sell advertising and any other promotion associated with the system. Sungold reserves the rights to all intellectual property.

HBN acquired computer hardware, developed software and leased a hosting facility that enables Horsepower to operate on the $US based World wagering pool at licensed racetracks and licensed teletheatres worldwide. HBN has engaged its' sister company Horsepower Broadcasting Network (HBN) International Ltd. to operate their US $ wagering.

A major expansion of the Horsepower World Pool is expected in 2003 with many racetracks in North America and internationally wagering into the Horsepower World Pool Pick 1 and Pick 6 parimutal pools.

d)    HorsepowerTM Operating project

On February 20, 2001, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Horsepower Broadcasting Network (HBN) International Ltd. ("HBN Int'l"), in the Province of Quebec under the Canada Business Corporation Act. HBN Int'l licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and operates on the Kahnawake Territory in Quebec. It's main activity is operating the Horsepower World Pool parimutal wagering system. In March 2003, HBN Int'l made a strategic decision to offer Horsepower pari-mutual wagering and the Horsepower World Pool, exclusively through licensed, land based Racetrack and Teletheatres and to grant 20 year licenses for Horsepower Parimutual World Pool Wagering, to Approved Racing Affiliates (A.R.A.'S) worldwide. During the period no predevelopment costs were capitalized under HorsepowerTM operating project. The Company management believes the Company complies in all material respects with the governing laws and regulations.

e)    SafeSpending project

In May 2001, the Company signed an agreement for the acquisition of the entire world wide right, title and interest to the internet payment system technology of SafeSpending Services Inc. ("SafeSpending"). The SafeSpending internet payment system is a prepaid spending system that uses a unique and personalized PIN number which can be used to make anonymous purchases online from merchants and individuals.

The acquisition agreement with SafeSpending includes all copyrights, trademarks, source codes and SafeSpending's intellectual property. Under the terms of agreement the Company has agreed to pay a 7.5 percent royalty of net revenue of the Company upon the Company or it's subsidiary Horsepower Broadcasting Network Inc. receiving $1,000,000 in net revenue from operation, sale or license of the technology. Sungold has a patent pending in 105 countries for the SafeSpending anonymous payment system.

In May 2003, the Company's subsidiary, Sungold Entertainment USA Inc., applied to change its name to SafeSpending Inc. (See Subsequent Event Note 8)

a)    Incentive share purchase options (continued)

In 2001, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) issued Handbook Section 3870 for Stock-based Compensations, which requires the use of fair value based method for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2002 and applied to awards granted on or after the date of adoption. In December 2002, the CICA Accounting Standards Board issued an Exposure Draft containing a proposal to amend Section 3870 to require the recognition of expenses for all employee stock-based compensation transactions for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2004. The proposal would replace the current disclosure option.

Under this fair value based method, the value of stock-based compensation plan is the sum of two component parts: its intrinsic value and its time value. The intrinsic value reflects the extent to which it is "in the money" at any date; and the time value is the value of the potential increases to the plan holder at any given time. The estimated time value is added to the intrinsic value to determine the fair value of the plan at any time.

In the nine months period ended May 31, 2003, the Company granted 500,000 share purchase options to directors at US$0.15 per share until October 11, 2007, 136,000 share purchase options to a director at US$0.11 each until January 23, 2008 and 750,000 share purchase options to a director at US$0.10 each until January 28, 2008. 64,000 share purchase options to a director at US$0.05 each until May 23, 2008.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of 150%, and an expected life of 1 year.

Had compensation cost of the stock based employee compensation been recorded, based upon the fair value of share options, additional compensation expense for the six months period ended February 28, 2003 would have been $91,972. The pro forma loss per share, assuming this additional compensation expense, would be as follows:

  May 31 May 31
  2003 2003
  $ $
Pro forma loss (0.0015) N/A

Pro forma results may be materially different than actual results realized.

a)    Incentive share purchase options (continued)

The Black-Scholes valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which are fully transferable and highly traded. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its director stock options.

Outstanding share purchase options which were issued prior January 1, 2002 have neither been charged to income nor included in the calculation of pro forma loss, in accordance with Section 3870 of the CICA Handbook, which is to take effect prospectively.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk and interest rate risk arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

The Company is exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
