Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Gamecorp Ltd. (the "Company" or "Gamecorp") was originally incorporated as Alexa Ventures Inc. on September 8, 1986 under the laws of British Columbia. Currently, the Company is in good standing, operating under the laws of Ontario. On May 28, 2008, the Company changed its name from Eiger Technology, Inc. to Gamecorp Ltd. The Company is listed as an issuer on the CNSX and a foreign issuer on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
The Company is an investment and merchant banking enterprise focused on the development of its investments. The Company’s current primary investments are in the Gaming and Technology sectors. InterAmerican Gaming, Inc. (“InterAmerican”) (formerly Racino Royale, Inc.), and Gate To Wire Solutions, Inc. (“Gate To Wire”) (formerly TrackPower, Inc.) are development stage enterprises involved in international gaming ventures. The Company has invested in Baymount Incorporated (“Baymount”), which is developing a gaming entertainment centre in Belleville, Ontario, and two portfolio non-core investments in Copernic Inc. (“Copernic”) and Gamtech International Inc. (“Gametech”). The Company has a legacy investment stake in Newlook Industries Corp. (“Newlook”), an enterprise with technology and telecommunications investments.
InterAmerican
InterAmerican is developing Latin American gaming opportunities through its subsidiaries InterAmerican Operations, Inc. and IAG Peru S.A.C.
As of June 30, 2009 the Company holds a 45.2% interest in InterAmerican. InterAmerican and the Company have certain common officers and directors.
Gate To Wire
Gate To Wire is being reorganized and will focus on distributing live horseracing signals in Latin America through a recently acquired license. On June 30, 2009, the Company holds a 16.9% ownership interest in Gate To Wire. Gate To Wire and the Company have certain common officers and directors.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009
2. | Going Concern |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and contingencies in the normal course of operations.
There is doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,351,000 and an accumulated deficit of $46,021,000 as at June 30, 2009. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, to increase management fees and interest income, and sustain profitable operations. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
The Company believes that future share issuance and increased management fees to existing and future investees will provide sufficient cash flow for it to continue as a going concern in its present form, however, there can be no assurances that the Company will achieve such results. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. | Significant Accounting Policies |
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which, except as noted in note 17, is consistent in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The principal accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows:
a) | Basis of Presentation |

b) | Discontinued Operations |
The Company has recognized the results of its investment in Newlook as discontinued operations. During fiscal 2007 the Company made a decision to dispose of its investment over time to focus on other gaming based opportunities. |
c) | Short Term Investments |
Short term investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and consist of guaranteed investment certificates. |
d) | Equipment |
Equipment is stated at cost. Amortization, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided using the under noted annual rates and methods:
Furniture and fixtures 20%Declining balance
Computer equipment 30%Declining balance
e) | Investments |
Investments in other entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee.
Equity Investments
Equity investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an equity accounted for investment exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method when the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. When an equity accounted for investee issues its own shares, the subsequent reduction in the Company's proportionate interest in the investee is reflected in income as a proportionate interest deemed dilution gain or proportionate interest loss on disposition.
Cost Investments
Investments are recorded at original cost and written down only when clear evidence that a decline in value, other than temporary, has occurred.

f) | Advertising Costs |
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
g) | Long-lived Asset Impairment |
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of a long-lived asset compared to the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. No impairments have been recorded.
h) | Financial Risk Management |
The Company has exposure to credit risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk. The Company has established policies and procedures to manage these risks, with the objective of minimizing any adverse effect that changes in these variables could have on the consolidated financial statements.
Credit Risk |
The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and notes receivable. At June 30, 2009, the balance of accounts receivable was $15,000, the balance of notes receivable at cost was $26,000. Accounts receivable represent GST refunds, the collection of which has typically spanned abnormal periods of time. Notes receivable are secured by common shares of Newlook which had a fair value of $67,000 on June 30, 2009.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from the extent of assets invested in U.S. dollars. The Company’s investment in Gate To Wire and InterAmerican are in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2009, prior to adjustments for share of equity losses, the amount invested in InterAmerican at cost was US$894,000 and the amount invested in Gate To Wire at cost was US$393,000. A one cent change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of the Canadian dollar would result in a CAD$17,000 change in value of these investments. The Company monitors foreign exchange fluctuations and may execute hedges to counterbalance currency movements.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company manages liquidity risk by closely monitoring changing conditions in its investees, participating in the day to day management and by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.
The Company has recently been reorganized and moved in a new business direction. At June 30, 2009, there is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern primarily due to its history of losses and a $1,351,000 working capital deficit. The Company’s ability to
9
GAMECORP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009
improve the liquidity of its investees is important however, the development of future operations and the success of its investments is also dependant upon the investee’s ability to raise funds independently.
i) | Revenue Recognition |
Operating revenues are recognized when they are earned, specifically, when services are provided, products are delivered to customers, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, amounts are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company's principal sources of revenue are management fees from investees and interest income from loans provided recognized on an accrual basis.
Revenues are recognized upon approval by regulatory authority as a result grant income is recognized subsequent to the race date; whereas, wagering revenues are recognized on the race date. |
j) | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for and measures future tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment of the change. When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no net asset is recognized. |
k) | Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, according to the treasury stock method, assumes that any proceeds from the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, with the incremental number of shares being included in the denominator of the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation. The diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. Stock options and share purchase warrants outstanding are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. |
l) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
10
GAMECORP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
m) | Stock Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock based compensation which includes the issuance of options of equity instruments using the fair value method. The estimated fair value is amortized to expense over the period in which the related services are rendered, which is usually the vesting period of the options. All outstanding options are classified as contributed surplus within shareholders’ equity and carried at their fair value.
n) | Foreign Currency Translation |
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Non-monetary items in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at historical rates of exchange except for those carried at market which are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the weighted average foreign current exchange rate for the year. Translation gains and losses are included in determining net earnings.

Former Optionees
On March 31, 2008, the Company sold 3,702,000 Newlook common shares to former optionees who had previously held an option to acquire the Newlook securities (note 5). The purchase price was $586,000 being the same price per share as the cancelled option exercise price. In payment, the third parties provided non-interest bearing promissory notes totaling $586,000 with varying repayment dates between March 8, 2009 and March 8, 2010. On June 30, 2009 there remained $26,000 outstanding under the notes receivable. The notes receivable are secured by 258,000 Newlook common shares which had a fair value of $67,000 on June 30, 2009. The Company has determined the fair value of the notes receivable at June 30, 2009 to be $25,000 and accordingly recorded a $1,000 gain to income during the three month period ended June 30, 2009. Year to date June 30, 2009 the Company has recorded a $3,000 gain to income associated with the notes receivable.

5. Discontinued Operations
The Company regards its investment in Newlook as discontinued operations and has done so since fiscal 2007.
During fiscal 2008, options to acquire 1,970,000 Newlook shares were exercised in March 2008, for proceeds of $269,000 resulting in a gain of $189,000 being recorded. Also in March 2008, the optionees agreed to acquire 3,702,000 Newlook common shares formerly under option (note 4) and the Company agreed to pay a $0.30 cancellation fee on 4,178,000 options (note 11), which effectively cancelled all remaining options granted. The Company recorded a gain of $409,000 as a result of the disposal of 3,702,000 shares. The Company acquired a further 1,105,500 Newlook common shares for cash proceeds of $731,000.
The Company recorded $529,000 as its share of Newlook losses during the nine month period ended June 30, 2009 effectively writing down the Company’s investment to $nil.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company sold 609,500 Newlook common shares for net proceeds of $161,000. As the Newlook shares were written down to $nil in the prior period the Company recognized a gain to the full extent of the proceeds received.

Effective September 1, 2007, the Company adopted the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook section 3855: Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement (“CICA 3855”).

As required by CICA 3855, and consistent with the accounting policy for the investments used to prepare the prior year’s consolidated financial statements, investments continue to be presented at fair value. As permitted by CICA 3855, the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities continue
20
GAMECORP LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009
to be presented at amortized cost which approximates the adoption of CICA 3855. The adoption did not have an impact on the financial statements in the prior or current year.
On September 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1506 “Accounting Changes” which prescribes the criteria for changing accounting policies, together with the accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in the accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and the correction of errors. The standard did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
19. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
a) | International Financial Reporting Standards |
The CICA plans to converge Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principle with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) effective January 1, 20011 for publicly accountable enterprises. The transition date of January 1, 2011 for the Company will require restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS has not been determined at this time. |
b) | Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
In 2008, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets ("CICA 3064"). CICA 3064, which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs, establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. This new standard is effective for the interim and annual financial statements for periods commencing January 1, 2009. The standard will not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements. |
20. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure
During the nine month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had cash flows arising from interest and income taxes paid as follows:
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
