Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Bingo.com, Ltd. ("the Company" ) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company' s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company' s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 22, 2011, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
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 quarter ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and has an accumulated deficit of $15,073,905 as at March 31, 2011.
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), Coral Reef Marketing Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp, the 99% owned subsidiaries, Bingo.com (UK) plc. (registered in the United Kingdom), Bingo.com Services Limited (registered in the United Kingdom) and Bingo.com Operations Limited (registered in Malta). On April 30, 2010, Bingo.com Services Limited (registered in the United Kingdom) and Bingo.com Operations Limited were sold and their accounts are included up to the date of sale of these subsidiaries (Note 3). All inter-company 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 valuation of shares issued for the purchased of the remaining Domain Name Purchase payments, the collectability 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, less commissions 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. 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. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(d) Foreign currency: (Continued)
liabilities are included in income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.
(e) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
During the periods presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company' s consolidated balance sheet are equipment, other assets, and domain name rights. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles are 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 exceeds 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.
(f) 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 ASC 350, 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. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company purchased the remaining Domain Name payments for $900,000, payable in 6,000,000 common shares of Bingo.com, Ltd., at a value of $0.15 per share. 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 ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that the fair value of the domain name exceeded the carrying value and therefore no impairment existed for the years presented.
(g) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy:
In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate consideration to one or more units of accounting. Specifically, the guidance requires that consideration be allocated among multiple deliverables based on relative selling prices. The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy of (1) vendor-specific objective evidence, (2) third-party evidence and (3) estimated selling price. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010 but may be early adopted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company has adopted this guidance and it is considered that it does not have a material impact on the Company' s financial reporting and disclosures.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(g) New accounting pronouncements: (Continued)
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), amending ASC 718. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the entity' s equity securities trade should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 also improves GAAP by improving consistency in financial reporting by eliminating diversity in practice. ASU 2010-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company) .. The Company has adopted ASU 2010-09, but it does not have a material impact on the Company' s financial reporting and disclosures.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28 - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This update provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" ) Topic 350 - Intangibles, Goodwill and Other that requires an entity to perform Step 2 impairment test even if a reporting unit has zero or negative carrying amount. The first step is to identify potential impairments by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step is to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit' s goodwill, measured in the same manner as goodwill is recognized in a business combination, and compare that amount with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2010-28 effective January 1, 2011. As a result of this standard, goodwill impairments may be reported sooner than under current practice. We do not expect ASU No. 2010-28 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which contains updated accounting guidance to clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are issued. This update requires that a company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This update also requires disclosure of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The provisions of this update, which are to be applied prospectively, are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The impact of this update on the Company' s consolidated financial statements will depend on the size and nature of future business combinations and is therefore not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(h) Financial instruments: (Continued)
(i) Fair values:
The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related party approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. The Company' s cash was measured using Level 1 inputs.
(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.
3. Sale of subsidiaries:
Effective April 30, 2010, the Company sold Bingo.com Services Limited and Bingo.com Operations Limited in an arms length transaction for $250,000. Due to the migrating onto the Unibet' s Partner Program and the Company' s transition from providing active gaming operations to that of a marketing-focused entity, these subsidiaries and the assets contained therein no longer served a useful purpose to the Company.

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.

11. Concentrations
Major customers
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, there was no single player on the gaming site who had wagered more than 10% of the total gaming revenue. The Company is reliant on Unibet to provide contracted services pursuant to its Partner Program. The Company has a receivable from Unibet of $187,604 as at March 31, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $34,857).
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company offered limited advertising. Therefore there were no advertising sales representing more than 10% of the total sales.
12. Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
The Company currently maintains a substantial portion of its day-to-day operating cash balances at financial institutions. At March 31, 2011, the Company had total cash balances of $839,635 (December 31, 2010 - $1,396,384) at financial institutions, where $436,808 (December 31, 2010 - $771,396) is in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United Kingdom amongst a small number of customers.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had one customer totaling $187,604, who accounted for total accounts receivable greater than 10%. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had two customers, totaling $34,857 and $16,073 who accounted for greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable.
The Company controls credit risk through monitoring procedures and receiving prepayments of cash for services rendered. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.
13. Subsequent Event
Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company entered management agreements with its executive officers and certain staff. Mr. H. Bromley will continue in his role as CFO for the Company. Mr. C. M. Devereux will continue to stand on the board of directors but will no longer have an active day to day role in the Company.

OVERVIEW
Bingo.com, Ltd. (the "Company") is in the business of owning and marketing a bingo based entertainment website that provides a variety of Internet games plus other forms of entertainment, including an online community, chat rooms, and more. Located at www.bingo.com, the Company has built one of the leading bingo portals on the Internet. The Bingo.com website has attracted millions of visitors of which over 1,995,000 have gone through a detailed sign-up process and become registered users. The level of Internet traffic that arrives at Bingo.com has a direct impact on our revenues as, generally, the greater the Internet traffic, the greater the amount of gaming or advertising revenue received.
The Company generates its main source of revenue from players who deposit funds into their Bingo.com accounts and play games for money. An additional source of revenue comes from selling advertising on the website to other companies who wish to advertise their products to our user demographic. The Company obtained a gaming license and commenced gambling operations from Curacao, Netherlands Antilles in May 2005. The Company was granted an additional license by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta, and commenced operating under this Maltese license in March 2009.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, Bingo.com joined the Unibet International Limited ("Unibet" ) Partner Program as a network operator of their multi-language and multi-currency bingo and casino system. Bingo.com players participate alongside players from Unibet' s other partner sites, such as Mariabingo.com and Bingo.se, where the combined gaming liquidity creates one of the largest and most international online gaming systems in operation. As a member of the Partner Program, and in return for a fixed percentage of the gaming revenues generated on the Bingo.com website, Unibet provides Bingo.com with the Internet technology, gambling software, financial processing, customer support, and many other services required to operate an online gambling business. In addition, as a member of the Partner Program, Bingo.com is no longer required to secure or maintain any online gambling licenses of its own as the Company is permitted to offer Internet gambling products to its players pursuant to Unibet' s licences in relevant jurisdictions.
Since joining the Unibet Partner Program, we have embarked on a cost focused restructure of the Bingo.com organization which has included a significant staff downsizing, the termination of hosting and other operational contracts, the sale of computer hardware, a reduction in office space, the release of both our Maltese and Curacao gaming licenses, and much more. The Bingo.com restructuring program was completed in the quarter ending March 31, 2011. The remaining costs of Bingo.com are now focused behind the marketing function of the organization as we attempt to establish the Bingo.com brand in the new markets in which we now operate to generate increasing amounts of targeted Internet traffic to www.bingo.com and to build a large base of valuable customers. We intend to expand our business, leveraging the many different languages and currencies supported by Unibet' s system, by launching targeted marketing campaigns in jurisdictions which we expect will be most responsive to Bingo.com' s online offering.
The Bingo.com website provides players the ability to purchase bingo cards online for cash, with the winner of each bingo game winning a percentage of the total cards purchased for that particular bingo game. The website is divided into two main sections: (1) the main section is accessible to players from countries where the Company offers its pay-to-play games; and, (2) the second section is focused on a free-to-play offering for the remaining countries. Depending on the pay-to-play or free-to-play section of the website, the Company provides online entertainment content to players consisting of multiplayer bingo games, video poker, casino games and slot machines.
Gaming revenue from the Bingo.com website accounted for approximately 94% of our revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
We have made a significant investment in the development of our website, purchase of domain name, branding, marketing, and maintaining operations. As a result we have incurred significant losses since inception, and as of March 31, 2011, had an accumulated deficit of $15,073,905.
Page 17
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESOur discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which except for lack of all detailed note disclosures, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these judgments and estimates, including whether there are any uncertainties as to compliance with the revenue recognition criteria described below, and recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the assessment as to whether there are contingent assets and liabilities that should be recognized or disclosed for the consolidated financial statements to fairly present the information required to be set forth therein. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require the most subjective judgment:
- Revenue recognition;
- Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of;
Revenue recognition:
The Company generates the majority of its revenue from gaming revenue. Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, including bonus wagered, less commissions 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.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
Management evaluates long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment and ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others. These assets comprise mainly property and equipment, other assets and the bingo.com domain name. The impairment review is performed by management, whenever events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. In performing this review, we estimate the future net cash flows from the assets and compare this amount to the carrying value. If this review indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable, impairment losses are measured and recognized based on the difference between the estimated discounted cash flows over the remaining life of the assets and the assets' carrying value. Changes in our future net cash flow estimates may impact our assessment as to whether a particular long-lived asset has been impaired.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, was $247,044, a decrease of 80% from revenue of $1,254,792 for first quarter of 2010 and an increase of 123% from revenue of $110,884 in the fourth quarter of 2010. Gaming Revenue was $231,177, a decrease of 81% in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared Gaming Revenue of $1,209,269 in the first quarter of 2010 and an 148% increase from revenue of $93,128 in the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 is due to the migration during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of our players to the Unibet' s Partner Program and a second change in platform within six months. The increase in revenue compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, is due to a television marketing campaign which was launched in the first quarter of 2011. We earned advertising revenue of $15,867 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 65% from advertising revenue of $45,523 in the first quarter of 2010 and a decrease of 11% from advertising revenue of $17,756 in the fourth quarter of 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010 the Company suspended sales of new advertising.
Cost of producing revenue
We recorded cost of producing revenue of $nil during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a decrease compared to costs of $857,402 for the first quarter of 2010 and costs of $nil in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Prior to the migration of our players to the Unibet' s Partner Program, the cost of revenue consisted of bonuses granted on deposits made by players, the cost of hosting the website, payment processing fees in relation to deposits from and withdrawals to our players, software license fees, gaming taxation and the domain name purchase payments. These costs of producing revenue, except for the domain name purchase payments which were acquired by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2010, have now been assumed by Unibet International Limited as part of the services provided by them in exchange for a commission on net revenue.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $496,679 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase over expenses of $314,087 in the first quarter of 2010 and an increase from expenses of $72,791 in the fourth quarter of 2010. Sales and marketing expenses principally include costs for signup bonuses, television marketing, Search Engine Optimization expenses, prizes for our players and other bonuses and incentives offered to gaming players. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the first and fourth quarter of 2010 is due to the launch of a television marketing campaign in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses to increase traffic and, consequently, deposits to our web portal. These costs will include affiliate commissions, salaries, television and Internet based advertising, and other promotional expenses intended to increase our subscriber base and improve gaming revenue. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant additional revenue.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of premises costs for our office, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $75,430 for the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 45% from costs of $136,806 for the first quarter of 2010 and an increase of 19% from costs of $63,447 in the fourth quarter of 2010. General and administrative expenses have decreased in comparison to the prior year due to the migration to the Unibet' s Partner Program whereby we have reduced many of our costs, especially the development of the
Page 19
bingo.com website. The increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, is due to the accrual for the 2011 Annual General Meeting.
We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.
Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits
Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits increased to $443,528 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to salaries, wages, consultants and benefits of $261,988 in the first quarter of 2010 and an increase over salaries, wages, consultants and benefits of $181,728 in the fourth quarter of 2010. The majority of the Company' s salaries, wages, consultants and benefits are incurred in Canadian Dollars. This increase compared to the first and fourth quarter of 2010, is due to the one time payment of severance to certain members of our staff.
Depreciation and amortization
Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $2,650 during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a decrease over costs of $16,076 during the same quarter in the prior year and a decrease from costs of $3,063 in the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to the aging of the Company' s equipment and the disposal of obsolete equipment.
Stock based Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires us to expense stock options granted. Stock based compensation decreased to $nil during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a decrease over stock based compensation of $9,306 during the same quarter in the prior year and no change from stock based compensation of $nil in the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease in stock based compensation during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, is due to the amendment to all outstanding unvested options, to amend them to vest immediately during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Profit on sale of US Gaming players
Effective October 12, 2006, the Company, in response to the United States Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, sold its United States players and related assets for $1,200,050, to an arms length third party payable by the purchaser at a variable rate over the subsequent months until fully paid. We recognize the profit from the sale of these assets as and when payment is received. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we collected $nil (March 31, 2010 - $5,000) of the $1,200,050 due. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we were advised that the purchaser had ceased operations and is in the process of winding up the company. We expect that the "best case" for collection of the outstanding amount of $769,550 due under the purchase will be no more than approximately $110,000. Given the circumstances of the winding up and the usual insolvency issues, there is no guarantee that even this sum will be collectible.
Income taxes
The Company incurred income tax expense of $2,627 during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, in relation to profits earned in its subsidiaries in different jurisdictions compared to taxation expense of $6,583 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and taxation expense of $6,738 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2005, Bingo.com, Inc. merged with its subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. in Anguilla, British West Indies. Anguilla is a zero tax jurisdiction.

Net loss and loss per share
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011, amounted to $743,332, a loss of $0.01 per share, an increase in net loss of 116% compared to a net loss of $344,806, a loss of $0.01 per share for the same period in 2010 and a increase in net loss of 185% compared to a net loss of $260,682 or $0.01 per share in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the first and fourth quarter of 2010, is due to the launch of the television marketing campaign and the one time severance payment to certain staff.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had cash of $839,635 and positive working capital of $988,249 at March 31, 2011. This compares to cash of $1,396,384 and positive working capital of $1,723,394 at December 31, 2010.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we used cash of $552,491 from operating activities compared to using cash of $264,875 in the same period in the prior year and compared to using cash of $540,915 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including costs associated with the marketing of our Web portal, the success and acceptance of gaming operations and the possible acquisition of complementary businesses, products and technologies.
ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company's management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, in the course of this evaluation, management considered certain internal control areas, in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the "reasonable assurance" level mentioned above) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
From time-to-time, the Company and its management have conducted and will continue to conduct further reviews and, from time to time put in place additional documentation, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting. The Company may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness, as well as changes aimed at ensuring that the Company's systems evolve with, and meet the needs of, the Company's business. These changes may include changes necessary or desirable to address recommendations of the Company's management, its counsel and/or its independent auditors, including any recommendations of its independent auditors
Page 21
arising out of their audits and reviews of the Company's financial statements. These changes may include changes to the Company's own systems, as well as to the systems of businesses that the Company has acquired or that the Company may acquire in the future and will, if made, be intended to enhance the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures. The Company is also continually striving to improve its management and operational efficiency and the Company expects that its efforts in that regard will from time to time directly or indirectly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in the Company' s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company' s internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
