REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Bingo.com, Ltd. and Subsidiaries

The Valley, Anguilla, B.W.I.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bingo.com, Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bingo.com, Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company generated negative cash flows from operating activities during the past year. The Company has working capital of approximately $124,495 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,263,550 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This raises 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.

BINGO.COM, LTD. and subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

1.    Introduction:

Nature of business

Bingo.com, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 12, 1987, under the laws of the State of Florida as Progressive General Lumber Corp. On January 22, 1999, the Company changed its name to Bingo.com, Inc. On April 7, 2005, Bingo.com, Inc. completed a merger with its wholly- owned subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. The surviving corporation of the merger is Bingo.com, Ltd. which is domiciled in Anguilla, British West Indies.  All of the outstanding common shares of Bingo.com, Ltd. were registered by Bingo.com, Inc. and Bingo.com, Ltd. under an S-4 registration statement dated March 3, 2005.  The S-4 registration statement became effective on March 8, 2005. The principal reason for Bingo.com, Inc.'s merger with its subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. was to facilitate Bingo.com, Inc.'s reincorporation under the International Business Companies Act of Anguilla, B.W.I. Anguilla, B.W.I. is a corporate tax- free jurisdiction.  Effective Thursday, April 7, 2005, the shares of Bingo.com, Ltd. began trading under the new ticker symbol "BNGOF".

The Company is in the business of providing games and entertainment based on the game of bingo through its Internet portal, www.bingo.com and earns revenue from selling advertising and providing games of chance to its registered subscribers.

Continuing operations

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing.  The Company has reported losses from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and has an accumulated deficit of $12,263,550 as at December 31, 2008. 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts and settlement of the liability amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company's financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company's obligations.  If management is unable to identify sources of additional cash flow in the short term, it may be required to further reduce or limit operations.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies:

(a)     Basis of presentation:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, English Bay Office Management Limited (registered in British Columbia, Canada), Bingo.com N.V. (registered in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles), Bingo.com (Alderney) Limited (registered in Alderney, Channel Islands), Coral Reef Marketing Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp, Bingo.com Services Limited (registered in the Untied Kingdom) and the 99% owned subsidiaries, Bingo.com (UK) plc. (registered in the Untied Kingdom) and Bingo.com Operations Limited (registered in Malta). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(b)    Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and recognized revenues and expenses for the reporting periods.

Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the valuation of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and the valuation of deferred tax assets.  Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

(c)   Revenue recognition:

Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, including bonus wagered, on all games less all winnings payable to players.

Advertising revenues have been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured. Cash received in advance of the advertising campaigns or impressions and clicks are recorded under unearned revenue.

(d)   Foreign currency:

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" ("SFAS 52"). Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date.

(e)   Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and, on occasion, short term investments. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of less than three months at the time of purchase as cash equivalents.

(f)    Accounts receivable:

Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable includes receivables from payment processors and trade receivables from customers. The Company estimates doubtful accounts on an item-by-item basis and includes over-aged accounts as part of allowance for doubtful accounts, which are generally ones that are ninety-days overdue.  Bad debt expense, for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $nil (2007 - $nil). Bad Debt recovery for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $nil (2007 - $107,486). A provision for doubtful accounts, in relation to the sale of US players (Note 3) of $837,050 (2007 - $936,828).

(g)   Equipment:

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for annually on the declining balance method over the following periods :

            Equipment and computers                      3 years

            Furniture and fixtures                             5 years

                        Leasehold improvements                       duration of the lease

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)") and related interpretations which superseded APB No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the

financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense on a prospective basis.

Therefore, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new share-based awards, an expense is also recognized to reflect the remaining service period of awards that had been included in pro-forma disclosures in prior periods.

The fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 (j) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" and SFAS No. 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). During the years presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheet are equipment, intangible assets and domain name rights.  These provisions require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. 

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

(k)  Income taxes:

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period.  Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

(k)  Income taxes: (Continued)

tax effects of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered and settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when it is not more likely than not that such future tax assets will be realized.

(l)      Net (loss) income per share:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if outstanding options or warrants were exercised and converted into common stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The earnings per share data for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are summarized as follows:

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):

(m)  Domain name and intangible assets:

The Company has capitalized the cost of the purchase of the domain name Bingo.com and was amortizing the cost over five years from the date of commencement of operations. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name cost in accordance with SFAS 142, where companies are no longer required to amortize indefinite life assets but instead test the indefinite intangible asset for impairment at least annually. The capitalized amount is based on the net present value of the minimum payments permitted under the terms of the purchase agreement. The domain name is tested for impairment by comparing the future cash flows of the domain name with its carrying value. The Company determined that as a result of level 3 unobservable inputs in accordance with SFAS 157 Fair Value Measurements, that the fair value of the domain name exceeded the carrying value and therefore no impairment existed for the years presented. The Company capitalized the cost of the email list as an intangible asset and is amortizing the cost over the life of the contract (five years).

(n)  New accounting pronouncements:

In December 2007 the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R) "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141(R)"). FAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The impact of FAS No. 141R on the consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions we consummate after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160. "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161").  SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Activities" but does not change SFAS 133's scope or accounting. SFAS 161 requires qualitative, quantitative, and credit-risk disclosures. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activity. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why they use derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, the year beginning December 28, 2008, for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the Statements on its results of operations and financial position.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 ("FSP FAS 132(R)-1"), "Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets," which expands the disclosure requirements about plan assets for defined benefit pension plans and postretirement plans.  FSP FAS 132(R)-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, the year ending December 26, 2009 for the Company.

On May 9, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162") which reorganizes the generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") hierarchy as detailed in the statement. The purpose of the new standard is to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for determining what accounting principles should be used when preparing U.S. GAAP financial statements. SFAS No. 162 became effective on November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to effect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 (o)  Financial instruments:

(i)  Fair values:

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, unearned revenue and amounts due to related parties approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. 

(ii)  Foreign currency risk:

The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.  The Company has not entered into any forward exchange contracts or other derivative instrument to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

6.  Domain name rights and intangible asset:

The rights to use the domain name bingo.com were acquired in January of 1999 for a cash payment of $200,000 and the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a value of $2.00 per share. The agreement was signed with Bingo, Inc., an unrelated party at the date of signing of the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make quarterly domain name purchase payments to the vendor based on 4% of annual gross revenue (as defined in the agreement), with total minimum payments of $1,100,000 in the first three years, including the initial cash payment, required over the 99 year period ended December 31, 2098. These minimum payment commitments were completed on June 30, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the agreement was amended so that the remaining domain name purchase payments to the vendor are made monthly, based on 4% of the preceding month's gross revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2008, expense payments of $225,983 (2007 - $94,790) were paid in accordance with the amended agreement.

Domain name rights have been capitalized on the balance sheet based on the present value of the future minimum royalty payments. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name in accordance with SFAS No. 142, where companies are no longer permitted to amortize indefinite life intangible assets. The intangible asset consists of an email list of Games, Inc. The Company capitalized the cost of the legal settlement with Roger Ach, the Lottery Channel Inc. and Games, Inc., whereby the Company will receive free advertising on the Lottery Channel Inc. and Games, Inc. websites for a period of five years.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $275,926 and $754,719, respectively.  The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, was a decrease of $478,793 and $221,449 respectively. 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those differences become deductible.

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. 

In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset attributable to net operating loss carryforwards, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $1,842,000 in Canada prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $882,524 (2007 - $954,138) of these net operating loss carryforwards expired in Canada.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes or disagreements on accounting and financial disclosure with the accountants, Dohan and Company, CPA's, P.A.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)        Management's responsibility

Our management acknowledges its responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company.

(b)        Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company within 90 days prior to the date of this report, and found them to be operating efficiently and effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the general rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by rules of the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

(c)        Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls during the year ended December 31, 2008, and to the date of filing this annual report.
