PART I


Item 1.  Business


CYOP Systems develops and distributes financial transaction platforms.  Their first branded platform is CrediPlay.  The Company licenses the software to gaming communities and portals to offer additional revenue sources through pay-for-play tournaments of skill and markets the company’s proprietary site www.skillarcade.com.  A player’s fee is charged every time a tournament or game is played.  This fee is disbursed to the game developer or publisher who owns the game being played, the server operator (portal) who runs the tournament and CYOP, the transaction processor.


Collecting and processing fees through financial institutions and disbursing funds through a revenue sharing model to vertical channel partners in this manner creates market opportunity through revenue sharing and reducing upfront investment costs in a vertically integrated marketing channel.


CYOP also owns and operate a proprietary gaming community, www.skillarcade.com, which was launched in the beginning of September 2002.  SkillArcade.com is an online games destination where people play popular skill-based games against other players and compete in tournaments to win real money prizes. The ultimate goal is to be recognized as the number one pay-for-play Gaming site on the Internet, which will:


1.

Establish Brand Recognition in targeted audience areas

2.

Direct and generate traffic to the site

3.

Build a database of players

4.

Convert traffic into Accounts.

5.

Build a positive reputation in the gaming market

6.

Retain Clients and Establish Loyal client base

7.

Drive Corporate revenues


Network Maintenance Fees – The Source of Revenue


Gamers wishing to compete in tournaments of skill for money are charged a network maintenance fee (“NMF”) each time they access a "pay-for-play" tournament.  Using CrediPlay, the network maintenance fee is split between the Company, game developers and game server operators.  Tournaments may only last ten minutes.  Thousands of members playing hundreds of tournaments can generate significant revenues through the Network Maintenance Fee.  


Network Maintenance Fees are negotiated and preset among the members of the supply chain.  Game developers, publishers, server operators and the Company agree on fees and percentages of fees in advance and separate from the Tournament Entrance Fee.  The Network Maintenance Fee does not change in proportion to the tournament prize money.  


This business model is predicated on licensing the software to online communities, wireless networks and portals with high traffic bases.  Games are either built in-house or licensed from developers and publishers.   A player’s fee is charged every time a tournament is played.  This fee is disbursed to the game developer or publisher who owns the game being played, the server operator (portal) who runs the tournament and CYOP, the transaction processor.  The Company also licenses gaming software on a straight annual fee basis, and does not pay a percentage to these types of game developers.



1



Pay-For-Play Tournaments of Skill


A tournament of skill is where competitors play a series of skill games where eventually one person or team is the victor. A pay-for-play tournament is where competitors pay fees to enter the tournament and a prize is awarded to the victor.


CrediPlay allows online gaming server operators to organize and run pay-for-play tournaments of skill.  Competitors pay a Tournament Entrance Fee.  It creates a prize pool, which is disbursed to the winners.  A Network Maintenance Fee is paid by the competitors to cover the costs of tournaments, much like a green’s fee for a golf tournament.  The Network Maintenance Fee is portioned to the server operators, the game developer / publisher and CYOP.  The Network Maintenance Fee is how vertical channel members generate revenue.


Pay-for-play tournaments of skill are an incentive-based product.  Online gamers pay fees and participate for the competitive spirit and the goal of winning prize money.  It is a highly motivating marketing strategy for online communities and portals.  It introduces a new revenue model for the online gaming industry.


A pay-for-play tournament of skill is not gambling.  CrediPlay’s software is based on the individual player’s skill and knowledge, while most games of chance on the Internet are based on algorithms.  Several sets of criteria are introduced that make Skill-Bingo, for example, a competitive game played in tournaments or head to head, where skill, knowledge or a combination of both determines the winning outcome. The following are used to allow for competition between players:


1.

Hand-eye coordination

2.

Reaction time

3.

Dexterity

4.

Spatial memory

5.

Long-term memory

6.

Pattern recognition

7.

Organizational skills

8.

Strategic planning

9.

Game play knowledge, general knowledge and intelligence


Legality


To ensure that the company is running games of skill and not gambling, determinations have been made by gaming experts and legal counsel to insure that games and software meet regulatory requirements.  


Games of skill have been likened to Peer-to-Peer wagering in that the Player is not 'wagering' against the house for a prize.  This is not all together true, and a better example follows. Think of it like this...four buddies play golf. One pays a green fee to play on the course.  One then decides to play skins for money. The golf course takes no part in that, and is therefore in compliance with most legal jurisdictions with respect to the legality of 'Skill Based Gaming'.


We are unaware of any existing or probable government regulations, which would have an adverse affect on the implementation of our current business plan.  We are relying on American and Canadian legal opinions to ensure that our business falls within current government regulations in those jurisdictions.


The company does not profit from the size of a player’s wager on his or her own skills. In fact, players don't ‘wager’ at all, they simply decide how much of a tournament entry into the pool they are willing to pay. The company also does not profit from the size of the cash prize pool, nor does it profit if one player wins over another specific player.  

 

2



Even adhering to such a rigorous process doesn't guarantee that every government everywhere will view pay-for-play tournaments as legal. The reality is that different governments have different ways of classifying games of skill and chance. For example, backgammon is a game of skill in the UK, but a game of chance in the USA. All of the information the company has gathered regarding a game enables CYOP to work with these various governments and comply with their laws. If a government or jurisdiction informs CYOP that their laws do not allow CYOP to run particular game tournaments, the company has the capability to not allow competitors in that specific jurisdiction to play tournament games.  Finally, the Terms and Conditions clearly state that members may not use any of CYOP’s sites or services if these violate the laws, statutes, ordinances, or regulations of that person's geographic location.


Our network is organized to generate three core revenue streams: membership fees, pay-for-play network maintenance fees, and credit card processing fees.  The crediplay network is operational.  To date, a minimal amount of money has been spent marketing our products and services.  Accordingly, traffic to our site has been limited.  A breakdown of our revenue to date by core revenue stream is provided below.


Credit Card Processing Fees


Our transaction network receives credit card processing fees for every deposit of cash into a member's financial account.  This e-commerce transactional network is also the backbone for additional ventures, which stem from the crediplay network.


Non-Competitive Strategy


We are committed to the Linux open source movement, which allows our members to share and contribute to the development of games.  Our members will have access to all information surrounding game development and game hosting.  All resources are available to members except the technology behind our processing network.


We allow members to use our technology to become pay-for-play game developers and game server operators.  This open source strategy creates new business and integrates and binds members to our transaction network.


We developed the crediplay network as a new playing field for the growing number of people playing games on-line.


Distribution Methods of our Products and Services.


Game and Information Portals


North America and English speaking countries


The dominant gaming portals are located in North America and are in the English language. They include GameSpy, MSN Game Zone, Yahoo! Games, Lycos Games, and Pogo (Electronic Arts).  Stung by the overall advertising crunch that has shut down many content sites, operators of free game sites are scrambling for ways to make a consistent profit.   The portals that survive will be those that form both short and long-term alliances with other content and service providers, so they can offer new revenue-generating services such as e-commerce, subscription fees, placement fees, and premium content. We have dedicated sales and business development personnel in Vancouver who market our systems through outbound sales tactics. Those are our primary targets.  The company is targeting potential licensees because:


CYOP’s intent is to partner with portals and to license to third parties in this market place because:

 

3



1.

Existing traffic – these types of sites are well established and they aggressively market themselves to keep their unique and returning visitor numbers high.

2.

Existing databases – these sites have developed large databases of members with sophisticated information

3.

Software built in English – CrediPlay has been designed in English, so integration is immediate

4.

Proximity for business development

5.

Instant revenues – CYOP does not have to spend great amount of resources marketing.

6.

The portals need new revenue sources.


The timeline is as follows:


1.

License in the North American Market – Fall 2002

2.

Build presence Globally – Spring 2003


Asia/Europe


How big is the non-English speaking world, economically speaking? Recent figures show that 68% of the world’s purchasing power and 92% of the world's potential customers live in countries where English is not the native language. Most of the up and coming markets outside the English-speaking world are not even online yet, but they are coming online. By making the effort to address non-English speaking markets now, CYOP will have an enormous competitive advantage over competitors who arrive later on. Although the U.S. accounts for the most of the world’s Internet usage by a single country, analysts at Bear Stearns believe that international markets currently hold the strongest growth opportunities for I-gaming; especially the emerging Asian “Digital Dragons.”


The opportunity to develop a gaming portal exists in the emerging markets of Asia and Europe.  Marketing to these relatively under-developed areas of the e-commerce world costs a fragment of the same in North America.  China, Taiwan and Korea are being made a priority as they have a high proportion of gamers, strong Internet growth and readily disposable income.  The largest Internet market in Europe is Germany at present, and it is expected to continue its domination in e-commerce.   The company intends to introduce a German portal within the next 6 months to address this opportunity.


CYOP plans to partner with companies in each market, and to localize its proprietary portal and systems into respective languages.  The Partner companies will be expected to handle local issues and drive marketing efforts.   A summation of why CYOP will build global portals is as follows:


1.

Higher share of Network Maintenance Fees through JV agreements

2.

First in Market – North America is approximately two to five years ahead of the rest of the Internet world, and there exists an opportunity for start-up ventures.

3.

Relative ease and low cost of marketing – as compared to the Americas

4.

Long-term revenues – Future growth in the industry will be driven by extra-American countries


Our product of providing on-line access to pay-for-play video gaming is not distributed in the conventional sense.  Rather, video gamers log on to our Internet site and register at one of the membership levels to enter play.  We expect that news of our unique site and pay-for-play concept will spread quickly through the on-line gaming community.  We also propose to advertise at venues such as the computer game developers conference, electronic entertainment exposition and various on-line traditional video game sites.  Word of mouth and our targeted marketing plan will effectively be the way our product is distributed.


Video games have often been dismissed as a rudimentary form of entertainment - lacking the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and prime time television.  But, over the past few years, the games industry has been growing faster than any other part of the entertainment business.  In terms of revenues, it is now running neck-and-neck with the movie box office. Movies still make much more money once television sales, videos and licensing deals are included.

The video game industry can be segregated into three main technology areas: game developers, platform developers, and game server operators.  Game developers create games to be played on different platforms such as those developed by Sony, Sega and Nintendo, on personal computers or on arcade machines.  With the introduction of the Internet, games are now hosted on servers where players from around the world log in and play.


In a recent report by Forrester Research, "Pervasive Gaming Goes Mainstream", August 2000, it was found that 80% of game companies expect broadband-connected consoles to be the dominant home game platform by 2003.  The Forrester Report suggests that next generation consoles are on route to become "an entire home entertainment system, encompassing games to Web browsing to eCommerce."


Internet-enabled consoles are ushering in a new generation of interactive gaming with technology that utilizes the Internet to create new dimensions in interactive gaming and which will transform the entertainment industry.  The report outlines three evolutionary changes in technology that will create pervasive gaming:


1.

Platforms will connect to the Internet and control TVs.

2.

Pipes will deliver content at the speed of Broadband.

3.

People will seamlessly switch from playing games to watching TV.


These changes will force new business models within the industry such as subscription and pay-per-use revenue streams.  Advertising revenue will also increase substantially as interactive media advances technologically.  Estimates of retail, hardware, subscription/pay-per-use, advertising and product placement sales put total games revenue at near 30 billion dollars by 2005.


Target Market


The myth that most gamers are children also seems to defy the changing gaming demographics. In reality, nearly 75% of PC gamers are adults, with only 30% being under the age of 18.  The Forrester Report indicates that 25% of the on-line population plays games on-line, 49% are women and 51% are men, and they have a median age of 39.  On-line gamers generate an average yearly income of $49,000 US/year and play an average of 13 hours/week.


Industry Players


Console Developers


The video game industry has some giants that are a dominant force in the marketplace.  Sega, Sony, and Nintendo dominate the game platform market with a projected 80% by 2003.  Microsoft has recently entered the console market with its Xbox and may become a dominant player in the next few years.


Publishers/Game Developers


Electronic Arts, headquartered in Redwood City, California, is the world's leading interactive entertainment software company. Founded in 1982, Electronic Arts posted revenues of more than $1.2 billion for fiscal 1999. The company develops, publishes and distributes software worldwide for personal computers and video game systems such as the PlayStation® and Nintendo® 64.


Blizzard Entertainment® is a premier publisher of entertainment software.  Since establishing the Blizzard label in 1994, the company has quickly become one of the most popular and well-respected makers of computer games.  With blockbuster hits including the Warcraft ® series, the Diablo series, and StarCraft., the company has enjoyed back-to-back number-one selling games, as well as consecutive Game of the Year awards.  Blizzard Entertainment operates a free online game service, Battle.net®, the largest in the world with millions of active users.

As a known leader in the industry and one of the world's leading developers of best selling software, id Software has forged frenetic titles such as Wolfenstein 3-D, DOOM, DOOM II, QUAKE, and QUAKE II.  With intense graphics and adventure, id creates frenzied demands worldwide and continues to break retail and shareware sales records.  id has proven itself to be genius at more than just software development.  Using non-traditional means of product distribution, shareware channels, online services, and the Internet. id has helped to create a new way to market computer games.  id's titles have become cultural phenomenon’s inspiring other developers, while spawning mainstream licensing agreements for movie and book series. id games have been featured on prime time TV shows such as Friends and ER and in the movies The Net, Congo and Gross Point Blank.


Game Server Operators


On-line, multi-player games allow for the game player to link to game servers hosting the game.  These game servers constitute any corporation or anyone with a server that wishes to host a game.  Game server operators have not had a revenue generating model beyond providing a web portal where game players can log on and search for different games being hosted.  The best estimate for the number of game servers today is the Championship League or CLQ, which now monitors 218,000 servers and 10,000,000 players on-line.


Professional (for money) Video Game Leagues


Professional video gaming is a new concept that is gaining momentum within the video game industry. Two organizations have evolved to cultivate this new trend.


The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) was founded on June 26, 1997.  The CPL is a computer gamer's league attempting to transform computer game competitions into a professional sport.  The CPL attracts thousands of gamers to its live events and hundreds of thousands of spectators, both live and online.  The CPL sets up physical local area network tournaments and receives sponsorship financing.  Through its various sponsors, the CPL awards tournament winners as much as $150,000 in cash prizes.  The CPL events feature: professional computer game tournaments, large spectator arenas, amateur local area network competitions, hardware and software exhibitions and occasionally a variety of workshops.


Online Athletes (OLA) is member-based professional game league.  Members are charged a $25/year membership fee, which gives them a registered server.  The league monitors play and distributes cheques to top players each week based on performance.


CYOP Systems and the Video Game Industry


CYOP Systems is positioning itself as an asset to all industry players through its integrated transaction technology.  The Bloodmoney Universe is a complete entertainment network where game players can access and play their favorite games for real money distributed to them via their electronic accounts.


Game console developers are creating web browser capabilities within their next generation systems that will enable players to connect to the crediplay network.


Transaction technology within the crediplay network creates a means by which game developers can create pay-for-play versions of their games.  Developers can utilize the crediplay network to market and promote their games.


CYOP Systems has created a new business model for game server operators.  By simply utilizing the crediplay network, games from their server, can host pay-for-play video games, generating a significant additional source of revenue.

 

7



Professional game leagues are limited to physical tournament settings or reliance on sponsorships for financing.  The crediplay network creates a 24-hour market of interactive video gaming where players enter tournaments through their own financial accounts.


As of the date of this annual report, management is aware of www.worldwinner.com and www.skilljam.com as the only other companies, which offers pay for play video gaming with the capacity to credit players in real time.  It is likely we will receive competition from other companies offering online pay for play video gaming. These competitors may utilize future off the shelf software systems or custom designed pay for play video software.  Our business model is designed to provide financial incentives for game developers and server operators who may otherwise compete against our Company.  


How We Plan to Expand Our Business Model


The Company is capitalizing on its experience in the On-Line Gaming Industry by leveraging its experience and contacts in this, the most profitable sector of the Global Digital Economy.  With the ability to integrate with popular online games like Bingo, the company has the opportunity to gain acceptance by licensing its software to the mainstream Internet Portals and Games Sites as a viable on going alternative to advertising and subscription-based revenues


Portals such as Bingo.com have been depending on the Internet Advertising model as their sole source of revenues with moderate success.  The addition of the <Pay-for-Play> model allows these portals to further capitalize on their existing database; a demographic of repeat game players.  The ease of integration allows companies to add to their core business without any software development costs or expensive downtime. One hundred percent automated, the system registers players in tournaments, runs the tournaments and pays the winners instantly.  


Risk factors


You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this disclosure and any other filings we make with the SEC in the future before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed.


Operations


While we do have a history of revenues we also have a history of losses since our inception. If we are unable to generate enough revenue and become profitable, our company will fail.


Management


Our management is under no contractual obligation to remain with us and their departure could cause our business to fail. Our directors and our officers have varied business interests and are working for other companies from time to time. Members of management have signed written employment agreements with us only as at January 1, 2003 as we have not been able to afford to pay management members.  


Competition


Our competitive position in the on-line pay for play video gaming industry is dependent on the success of our pending patent application. We have filed a patent application in the United States to obtain patent protection for our unique in-house developed software and unique pay for play platform. In the event our patent application is not granted, we could be put at a significant competitive disadvantage to other better financed companies who could copy our software and achieve rapid market penetration. Even if we obtain patent protection for our system of offering pay for play games online, it is possible we could receive intense competition from better financed companies with in-house software development capabilities who are able to offer online pay for play video games without infringing on our patent protection.

 

8



Financing


We are highly dependent upon our management for financing our software development and ongoing operations. We were cleared by the Securities exchange Commission (“SEC”) and National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) in September 2002 to have our securities quoted in the OTC BB. We have just begun earning revenues (“NMF”) through the use of our pay for play software. We have been and continue to be dependent upon management for loans to our company to fund our operations. In the event management is unable to continue to advance funds to our company before we achieve positive cash flow, our company could fail. Online pay for play video gaming is attracting the interest of large well financed potential competitors. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC BB. Persons who acquire our common shares have limited liquidity or opportunity to sell their share s and may not be able to recover any funds, which have been invested in our common shares. Our common shares fall within the definition of a penny stock. All transactions involving our shares will be subject to special rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission which require brokers and dealers to complete due diligence on penny stocks being acquired on behalf of clients. These requirements are onerous and may make an investment in penny stocks less appealing to certain investors, which could affect your ability to sell our common shares.


Stock Price Volatility


The market price of CYOP’s common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past, and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. To date, the trading volume in the Company’s stock has been relatively low and significant price fluctuations can occur as a result. If the low trading volumes experienced to date continue, such fluctuations could occur in the future. The Company cannot provide assurance that the sales price of its common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. In addition the U.S. equity markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the stocks of technology companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of CYOP’s common stock in the future. Such fluctuations and variations may be th e result of changes in CYOP’s business, operations or prospects, announcements of technological innovations and new products by competitors, CYOP or its competitors entering into new contractual relationships with strategic partners, proposed acquisitions by CYOP or its competitors, financial results that fail to meet public market analyst expectations of performance, regulatory considerations and general market and economic conditions in the U.S. and throughout the world.


Dilutive Effect of Future Sales of Securities


Future sales of substantial amounts of CYOP’s Common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the Common stock and shareholders could experience dilution in their stock ownership of the Company and in the value of their shares. Dilution is a reduction in the value of the holder’s investment measured by the difference between the purchase price of the shares of the Common stock and the net tangible book value of the shares after the purchase takes place. As at December 31, 2002 there were 19,476,682 shares of Common stock, which are restricted or affiliate shares (“Restricted Shares”). Those Restricted Shares will gradually be converted to free-trading shares, the sale of which could have a material adverse effect on the future market price of CYOP’s Common stock.


Experience


We have significant experience operating online pay for play video games and processing online financial transactions. We have tested our operating system and believe it will accommodate the expected commercial traffic at our website however, without operating high volumes of traffic our system could result in a breakdown slowing our operations with the resultant lack of business and revenue.


9


Future Capital Needs


CYOP has capital requirements for such applications as geographical expansion, marketing and advertising, development of new applications, expansion and upgrading of infrastructure and completing joint venture agreements with potential European and Asian partners. CYOP may not be successful in generating sufficient cash from operations for those purposes and will need to raise additional capital. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows or to raise additional capital may require CYOP to revise, delay or abandon some or all of its development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities and may make it difficult to respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on CYOP’s business, results of operations and financial condition.  


Item 2.  Properties


At December 31, 2002 we maintained an office at Suite 406, 1040 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  This is leased office space of approximately 3,500 square feet, which houses our current operations.  Monthly lease payments on this office space are $6,000.  These facilities are fully utilized and are adequate for our needs for the next 12 months. In April 2003 we moved to a much smaller space sharing with another company at no cost. This office is located at 225-425 Carrall Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. All our infrastructure and equipment is located in the Westin Building in Seattle, Washington on a co-location agreement for $1,500.00 per month.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings


We are not a party to any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings proposed to be initiated against the Company. However, from time to time, the Company may become subject to claims and litigation generally associated with any business venture.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


The Company's 2002 annual general meeting is scheduled to be held Monday June 30, 2003 .at Suite 225, 425 Carrall Street, Vancouver, British Columbia at 10:00 a.m.  The Company's security holders will be requested to confirm directors, to appoint the Company's auditors for the 2002/2003 fiscal years and to ratify all actions taken by the officers and directors of the Company of the preceding year.  No other business is expected to be brought before the Company's shareholders at the 2002 annual general meeting.  The Company's notice of annual general meeting, Schedule 14A proxy statement and proxy are being filed separately and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.  Management’s discussion and analysis


The information contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation contains "forward looking statements." Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this report. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual future results will not be materially different from the expectations expressed in this Annual Report. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included in Item 8, with "Item 6. Selected Financial Data," with the Risk Factors section of Item 1, and with the Special Note regarding forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this report.


Overview


We have been primarily focused on developing our product for market launch.  Management has financed most of our operations to date.  Management will continue to fund our operations through shareholders loans for the next 12 months or until such time as we are able to raise equity or debt financing privately, until we have positive cash flow.  We will satisfy cash requirements solely from funds loaned by management or family and friends or private investors.  However, management is not under any contractual obligation to provide continued funding.  We will spend approximately $1/2 million in the next 12 months to maintain current operations at our current expenditure rate; not including any marketing initiatives or expansion plans. Additional funds in the amount of $1.5 million will be required for a complete launch of the Crediplay system inclu ding a full marketing budget.


We anticipate contracting human resources as required during the next 12 months.  We do not expect to acquire any material physical assets or significant equipment in the next 12 months.  We will not be performing any significant research and development in the next 12 months as our pay for play software is complete and tested.


We launched our first pay-for-play online video game, Urban Mercenary in February 2001.  In March 2001, the Company secured the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as the Company's merchant account processor.  


In September 2002, we launched a suite of free and “pay for play” games including card, strategy, arcade, sports and multiplayer games, terminating our licensing contract with Bingo.com.  The Bingo.com contract called for our company to provide front end game development and site management.  It was also a licensing agreement under which Bingo.com used our pay for play transaction software.  Bingo.com has approximately 700,000 members playing bingo online.  Bingo.com has devised a new format for bingo which is a skill based game and not a game of chance.  The Bingo.com site began using CYOP's pay for play transaction software in October 2001. Our proprietary site www.skillarcade.com as at December 31, 2002 has about 100,000 members.


Management will continue to fund the Company through shareholders' loans until such time as the Company is financially self-supporting.  Management of the Company will be aggressively seeking financing to launch an aggressive marketing campaign for our pay for play network and our flagship video game Urban Mercenary.


In order for our Company to expand it's operations and realize profits from pay for play online video gaming a number of additional steps must be taken.  We must continue to maintain and upgrade our software programs and our website.  This is an ongoing month-to-month responsibility. Funds for this ongoing software maintenance have been budgeted, which are being loaned to our Company by management.  In the future, the funds required for ongoing software maintenance will come from revenue from licensing fees or system maintenance fees from pay for play video gaming.  Secondly, to increase our Company's exposure and attract players to our website we will be required to complete a full marketing launch of the Crediplay system.  We anticipate that this marketing launch will cost approximately $1.5 million.  Until we complete a marketing launch we cannot expect large volumes of players for our online pay for play video game.  Revenues will be derived from licensing fees from third parties.  We will also continue to pursue our pending patent applications in the United States.  Patent protection will improve our competitive position in the online pay for play video gaming industry.  We anticipate spending up to an additional $25,000 for costs associated with our patent applications.  We anticipate it may take up to one year for our current patent applications to be granted.

Results of Operations


Revenue


Revenue increased to $545,123 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $512,930 for the year ended December 31, 2001, from no revenue in the same period in the prior year. This increase is a result of the move away from a primarily a development company with the first proof of concept contract with Bingo.com in September 2001, and the additional revenues earned from a proprietary game site.


Cost of Revenue


The Company recorded cost of revenue of  $209,518 during the year ended December 31, 2002 and $300,647 during the year ended December 31, 2001. This significantly decreased, as the direct costs associated with the development work for Bingo.com finished in early 2002.  


Sales and Marketing expenses


Sales and marketing expenses increased to $209,619 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $101,217 for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $108,402. This is a result of a settlement with a company with a common director (see note 8 in financial statements) a certain amount of advertising inventory was granted to one of our directors. During the year 2002, $159,209.57 of ad serving was provided by a director on account of the company with a common director and was charged as advertising cost to the company. Sales and marketing expenses include principally costs for marketing, co-brand advertising and keyword buys for our site and participation in trade shows.


We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses to further our efforts to increase traffic to our Web portal and develop licensee opportunities with gaming portals. These costs will include commissions, salaries, advertising, and other promotional expenses intended to increase traffic to licensees and improve revenue. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant new revenue sources.


General and Administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of contract personnel costs, rent for the Company's office, legal and audit professional fees, insurance and other general corporate and office expenses, including $92,778 of bad debt for the fiscal year 2002 from $46,500 for the fiscal year 2001. General and administrative expenses decreased to $567,445 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $653,096 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of 6% over the previous year. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily from the prior year as a result of a decrease in legal and professional fees associated with obtaining clearance with NASD and SEC for quotation of our securities on the OTC BB.

 

We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.



13



Interest expense


Interest expense consists of accrued interest on the demand loans and demand loans to related parties. Interest expense decrease from $177,288 for 2001, to $0.00, however imputed interest expense increased to $30,721 in 2002 from $1,900 from demand loans from related parties. Additionally a significant interest expense has been accrued related to a Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (“CCRA”) assessment of payroll taxes due on the Canadian subsidiary in fiscal year 2001. No loan interest expense was captured for the year ended December 31, 2002 as the subsidiary that incurred corresponding liabilities was sold on April 1, 2002; see Form 8-k filed August 20, 2002.


Loss per share and net loss


The Company ended the year with a net profit of $603,981 as a result of the gain booked on the sale of a subsidiary of $949,577. The net profit position is a gain of $0.02 per share compared to the net loss of ($751,136), a loss per share of ($0.03) for the year ended December 31, 2001.


Liquidity and capital resources


The Company does not yet have an adequate source of reliable, long-term revenue to fund operations. As a result, the Company is reliant on outside sources of capital funding. There can be no assurances that the Company will in the future achieve a consistent and reliable revenue stream adequate to support continued operations. In addition, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to secure adequate sources of new capital funding, whether it is in the form of share capital, debt, or other financing sources.


The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,253 and a working capital deficiency of ($864,973) at December 31, 2002. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $1,852 and working capital deficiency of ($1,357,792) at December 31, 2001. This improvement is a result of the disposal of the subsidiary, and the gain calculated as a consequence of the elimination of debt from the remaining consolidated company.


During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company used cash of $142,274 in operating activities compared to using $264,955 in the prior year. This is a reflection of scaled down operations and includes  the non-cash gain $949,577 on the sale of the subsidiary.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $454,773 in 2002, which compares to $625,246 in 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2002, less funding was obtained in the form of loans as the Company was in operation and generating revenues to fund working capital requirements.  


The Company used cash of $158,300 in investing activities in 2002, compared to using cash of $551,916 in the prior year. While cash was invested in continued development costs of the crediplay system in 2001 it was not necessary in 2002 with an operating infrastructure. The $158,300 relates to the acquisition of further intellectual property.  


Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including costs associated with development of our Web portal, the success and acceptance of our new games and the possible acquisition of complementary businesses, products and technologies. We do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to conduct our operations through the first quarter of 2003, and are substantially dependent on continued funding from our Chairman and CEO to continue operations.  


There can be no assurances that additional capital will be available when we need it on terms that we consider acceptable. The auditors' report on the Company's December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has suffered losses and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about market risk


The Company has no financial instruments for trading purposes, or derivative or other financial instruments with off balance sheet risk. The fair value of all financial instruments at December 31,2002 is not materially different from their carrying value.


To December 31, 2002, substantially all revenues are incurred In United States dollars and the majority of cash costs have been realized or incurred in Canadian dollars and as such, are subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk. To date, the Company has not entered into foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency risks between the Canadian dollar or other foreign currencies and our reporting currency, the United States dollar.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders


CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED

 


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CYOP Systems International Incorporated (“the Company”) as at December 31, 2002 and 2001, the related consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficiency and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform 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, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.   As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.    Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company was incorporated on October 29, 1999 in the name of Triple 8 Development Corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful business or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company changed its name to CYOP Systems International Incorporated on October 30, 2000.  On November 3, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CYOP Systems Inc., Barbados (“CYOP Barbados”). This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition recapitalization.

CYOP Barbados was incorporated under the laws of Barbados on June 20, 2000. On August 31, 2000, CYOP Barbados acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Moshpit Entertainment Inc., Canada (“Moshpit”), a company incorporated under the laws British Columbia, Canada. CYOP Barbados sold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Moshpit by an agreement dated April 1, 2002 to a former stockholder and the sole director (see Note 8).

The Company, and its subsidiary, is a provider of multimedia transactional technology solutions and services for the entertainment industry.   The Company’s range of products and services include financial transaction platforms for on-line video games and integrated e-commerce transaction technology for on-line merchants.  These services are considered as one segment only based on internal organizational structure.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon many factors, including the ability of the Company to obtain financing to fund working capital requirements, the degree of competition encountered by the Company, technology risks, government regulation and general economic conditions. The Management’s plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required and keep abreast with the multimedia tech nology. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. 

 

2.     Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary CYOP Barbados. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


(b)

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(c)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less when purchased.

(d)

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost.  Depreciation is charged to earnings in amounts sufficient to allocate the costs over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Audio and visual equipment

20% declining-balance basis

Computer hardware

30% declining-balance basis

Computer software

100% declining-balance basis

Office furniture and equipment

20% declining-balance basis

Leasehold improvements

20% straight-line basis


(e)

Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenue from providing services on software development and online internet transaction platform maintenance. Service revenues are recognized when services have been performed and delivered in accordance with service agreements, the Company has no significant remaining performance requirements, there are no material uncertainties regarding customer acceptance and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable.

(f)

Software Development Costs

Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to expenses as incurred.

(g)

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


(h)

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company and CYOP Barbados maintain their accounting records in their functional currency.  Foreign currency transactions are translated into their functional currency in the following manner.

At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date.  At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.  The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

(i)

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is included in the period that includes the enactmen t date.

(j)

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

Effective January 1, 2002, certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances require consideration as to whether their carrying value has become impaired pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company evaluated long-term assets of the Company in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of .  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


(k)

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

Fair value of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, note receivable, demand loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, player funds on deposit and short-term loans approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of interest receivable and note receivable, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its debtors and maintains allowances for possible losses with, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations.   The Company places its cash in high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.


(l)

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

As at December 31, 2002, the Company has not entered into any derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

(m)

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and other dilutive securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is equal to the basic income (loss) per share as the stock options to acquire 25,000 common shares that are outstanding at December 31, 2002 are not dilutive.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(o)

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation".  SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense related to stock-based compensation.  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations.

(p)

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.  The rescission of SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments, and SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements, which amended SFAS No. 4, will affect income statement classification of gains and losses from extinguishment of debt.  SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issued No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.  SFAS No. 146 generally requires a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity to be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred.  The pronouncement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adopt ion of SFAS No. 146 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), Accounting for Stock-based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, to provide alternative methods for voluntary transition to SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  SFAS No. 148 also requires disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in annual and interim financial statements.  SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFA S No. 148 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others – An Interpretation of FASB Statements of No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.  This interpretation clarifies the requirements for a guarantor’s accounting for and disclosures of certain guarantees issued and outstanding.  FIN 45 also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of a guarantee.  FIN 45 is effective for guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 will not have impact on the Company’s financ ial statements.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51.  This interpretation addressed the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interest.  The interpretation is intended to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in determining the primary beneficiary.  The interpretation outlines disclosure requirements for VIEs in existence prior to January 31, 2003, outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003.  The company has reviewed its major commercial relationship and its overall economic interests with other companies consisting of related parties, vendors, loan creditors and other suppliers to determine the extent of its variable economic interest in these parties.  The review has not resulted in a determination that the Company would be judged to be the primary economic beneficiary in any material relationships, or that any material entities would be judged to be Variable Interest Entities of the Company.

Intangible Assets

On May 21, 2002, the Company terminated the software development agreement and a software licensing, technical support and operation of customer service and data centre agreement with a related company (related by a common director) was terminated. As at that date $240,000 license fees were billed with $200,000 remaining unpaid at May 21, 2002.

In satisfaction of this unpaid amount and in consideration of terminating the agreement the related company assigned all right, title and interest in:

(a)

the Skill-Bingo Patents and the Skill-Bingo Inventions purchased from FYRC Inc.

(b)

the Skill-Bingo game software

(c)

the website located at http://www.bigrbingo.com

(d)

the trademark “BiG’rBingo”

(e)

the BiG’rBingo customer deposits

The above has been collectively recorded as intellectual property with an expected useful life of 5 years.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  This statement requires that intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized.  Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over its useful life or estimated of its useful life.  Indefinite life intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if any events occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.  Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets.  The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value.

Sale and License-back of Computer Software

On December 14, 2001, the Company sold computer software identified as Crediplay System to the sole director and a major stockholder and creditor of the Company for $3,000,000. The purchase price was settled by retiring $1,200,000 of debt owed to the purchaser and a promissory note for $1,800,000. The promissory note bears interest at 5% per annum with maturity on December 14, 2010.  The promissory note is secured through a first priority lien and security interest in the Crediplay System and amount due to Mr. Mitch White (the “Purchaser”) totalling $517,613 (2001 – nil).  As at December 31, 2001, the present value of the promissory note is $1,565,452, with discount rate at 7% per annum. As at December 31, 2002, the present value of the promissory note is $1,585,034 aft er calculating at the discount of 7% and accruing interest at 5%. Interest receivable was calculated at 1,800,000 X 5% or $90,000.   

Pursuant to a Marketing, Development and Distribution Agreement entered into on the same date, the Crediplay System was licensed back to the Company for a term of 15 years. A licensing fee payable will be calculated on Gross Earnings derived from the Crediplay System as follows:
