Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by 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 Bingo.com, Inc.'s (the "Company") audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed March 21 2005, 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.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.
2. Management Plans:
Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 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 S4 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 ofBingo.com, Ltd. began trading under the new ticker symbol "BNGOF".
Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, Bingo.com, Ltd. completed a non-brokered private placement offering of 1,339,667 common shares at US$0.75 per share which has raised gross proceeds of US$1,004,750. The private placement was completed under Regulation S. Proceeds of the private placement will be used for general working capital and for potential future acquisitions.
In addition, subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the holders of Warrant B exercised 380,000 warrants in accordance with the terms of Warrant B at a price of $0.25 per share for $95,000.

3. Stockholder's Equity:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the holders of stock options exercised their options for 435,950 shares for $33,423 at exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.30 per share. Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the holders of stock options exercised their options for 39,900 shares for $10,545 at exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.30 per share.
We have adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148") effective December 2002. SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As permitted by SFAS 148 and SFAS 123, we continue to apply the accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion Number 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations, with regard to the measurement of compensation cost for options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plans. No employee compensation expense has been recorded as all options granted had an exercise price greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had expense been recognized using the fair value method described in SFAS 123, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we would have reported the following results of operations:
| | Three Months ended March 31, |

Net income (loss) for the period | $ | 32,209 | $ | (38,479) |

3. Shareholders' Equity: (Continued)
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:
| | March 31, 2005 | | March 31, 2004 |
Expected dividend yield | | - | | - |
Expected stock price volatility | | - | | 174 -175% |
Risk-free interest rate | | - | | 0.98 -1.01% |
Expected life of options | | - | | 5 years |
Block discount applied | | - | | 40% |
This block discount applied is due to the illiquidity of shares.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements assuming employee stock options are granted in the future.
4. Commitments and Contingencies :
The Company may from time to time, become subject to claims and litigation generally associated with any business venture. Should the Company be unable to successfully negotiate a settlement with its outstanding payables an unrecorded liability will be incurred.
5. Related Party Transactions
For the period ending March 31, 2005, the Company has outstanding loans payable for $100,642 (December 31, 2004 - $110,871) from a current director and officer of the Company. This loan has no fixed repayment terms and is non-interest bearing.
For the period ending March 31, 2005, the Company has an outstanding loan payable for $46,852 (December 31, 2004 - $46,171) from a company owned by a current director and officer of the Company. Interest accrues on the outstanding amount at the rate of 7% per annum and is included in the balance of the loan.
In addition the Company has a liability of $102,346 (December 31, 2004 - $113,065), to a company owned by a current director and officer of the Company for payment of services rendered and expenses incurred by the current director and officer of the Company.

Payments made to Bingo, Inc. in relation to the domain name purchase payment totaled $16,142 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (Quarter ended March 31, 2004 - $9,849).
6. Segmented information:
The Company operates in one reportable business segment, the business of providing games and entertainment based on the game of bingo through its internet portal, www.bingo.com, supported mainly by selling advertising on the website. The revenue for the last three years has been derived primarily from advertising business in the United States of America.
7. Concentrations
Major customers
The Company has concentrations with respect to the volume of business conducted with several major customers. For the period ended March 31, 2005, the Company made sales of $109,800 and $66,050 to two customers, which were in excess of 10% of total sales. For the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company made sales of $85,000 and $36,000 to two customers, which were in excess of 10% of total sales. These customers to whom sales represent more than 10% of the total sales are agents representing multiple advertising customers who advertise on the Company's website.
Equipment
The Company's equipment is located as follows:
Net Book Value | | March 31, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 |
| | | | |
Canada | $ | 41,119 | $ | 42,661 |
Curacao, Netherlands Antilles | | 74,732 | | 76,272 |
| $ | 115,851 | $ | 118,933 |
8. 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 has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United States and the United Kingdom amongst a small number of customers. As of March 31, 2005, three customer totaling $12,235, $5,700, and $3,853 who accounted for total accounts receivable greater than 10%. As of December 31, 2004, three customers, totaling $8,945, $14,000 and $17,400 accounted for total accounts receivable greater than 10%. 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.

OVERVIEWWe are in the business of developing and operating a bingo based Web portal designed to provide a variety of free games, and other forms of entertainment, including an online community, chat rooms, contests, sweepstakes, tournaments, and more. We envision becoming the preeminent bingo-based Web portal on the Internet, using our bingo.com domain name and incorporating a variety of games and content to attract and retain a large number of subscribers. Our existing Website has attracted over 1,200,000 registered users. We intend to continue to build on this subscriber base to further develop its online presence.
We generate revenue principally from the free Website, which is supported by advertising revenue obtained by displaying advertisements on our Web site and delivering advertisements to our players by email.
The free site provides content to our players in the form of free-to-play, multiplayer theme bingo games, such as Astrology Bingo, Cupid Bingo, and the like, as well as online video poker, sweepstakes and slot machines. We also offer our registered players other forms of entertainment such as fortune telling, chat rooms, and member profiles.
We intend to continue to build on the success of the existing free site by offering a greater depth and variety of content that we expect will hold subscribers and allow us to generate more revenue through advertising. We are actively looking at establishing a bingo for cash site. We are following the change in regulations in the United Kingdom closely and in the future we intend to provide our players with the opportunity to play traditional bingo for cash.
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, 2005, had an accumulated deficit of $9,449,165. For the last two quarters of 2004 and first quarter of 2005, we have been profitable for the first time in our history. Management anticipates that this trend will continue.
Moving forward, we will continue to control operating costs and expansion costs so as to continue to operate profitably and efficiently. We are working to settle old, outstanding accounts payable, so that we can move forward with a more stable financial footing.

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 on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. 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 the sale of advertising on its website. Advertising revenue is recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website and the sale of our email address lists. The Company manages its own sales of advertising; hosts the Company's Website; and serves its own ads.
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". As of March 31, 2005, 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Revenue increased to $403,551 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of 64% from revenue of $246,189 for the same period in the prior year and an increase of 3% from revenue of $389,921 in the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase in revenue compared to the first and fourth quarter 2004, is due to increasing our advertising rates by approximately 10% overall and obtaining a greater number of individual advertisers, thereby providing a more diverse and increased revenue stream.
Page 12
Cost of revenue
We recorded cost of revenue of $100,281 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $53,317 or 114% compared to costs of $46,964 for the same period in the prior year and an increase of 24% over costs of $80,893 in the fourth quarter of 2004. The gross margin decreased to 75% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to 81% gross margin in the first quarter of the prior year and 79% gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2004. Cost of revenue consists primarily of commissions paid on the sale of advertising and the cost of hosting the website. The increase in cost of revenue, compared to the first and fourth quarter of 2004, is due to the increase in revenue and therefore an increase in commissions.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $29,360 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $20,873 (246%) over expenses of $8,487 in the first quarter of 2004 and an increase of 43% over expenses of $20,539 in the fourth quarter of 2004. Sales and marketing expenses include principally costs for marketing, co-brand advertising and prizes for our game site. This increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to the first and fourth quarter of 2004, is due to the increase in advertising and marketing of the site.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll costs for our accounting, administrative and technical staff, premises costs for our office, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $234,152 for the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 53% over costs of $153,502 for the same period last year and an increase of 13% over costs of $206,412 in the fourth quarter of 2004. General and administrative expenses have increased in comparison to the first and fourth quarter of 2004, due to an increase in payroll costs and an increase in legal expenses for legal advise on merging the Company with its subsidiary in Anguilla, British West Indies, and the filing, of the Form S-4 with the Securities Exchange Commission. In addition we incurred costs in printing and mailing of the Form S-4 to our shareholders.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation on the Company's equipment and amortization of intangible asset relating to the email list. Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Intangible asset - email list is amortized over five years. Depreciation and amortization increased to $7,599 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of 25% over costs of $6,101 during the same quarter in the prior year and an increase of 10% over costs of $6,918 in the fourth quarter of 2004. The changes in depreciation and amortization can be explained due to the acquisitions of equipment especially computers and servers for the hosting of the website in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles.
Interest expense
Interest expense consists of accrued interest on the convertible debentures and other debt instruments, such as leases and loans. Interest expense decreased to $681 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, a decrease of 99% over interest expense of $70,580 for the same period in the prior and a decrease of 2% over interest expense of $697 in the fourth quarter of 2004. This decrease in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004 is due to the conversion of the debentures into shares in 2004.
Page 13
Net income / loss and income / loss per share
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005, amounted to $32,209, an income of $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $38,479 or $0.00 per share for the same period in 2004 and compared to a net income of $63,591 or $0.00 per share in the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase in net income compared to the first quarter of 2004 is due to our continued efforts to control operating costs and to increase revenue streams. The decrease in net income compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, is due to the costs for legal advise on merging the Company with its subsidiary in Anguilla, British West Indies and the filing, of the Form S-4 with the Securities Exchange Commission and the printing and mailing of the Form S-4 to our shareholders.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had cash of $157,337 and a working capital deficit of $567,093 at March 31, 2005. This compares to cash of $74,032 and a working capital deficit of $625,376 at December 31, 2004.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we generated cash of $61,435 from operating activities compared to $6,323 in the same period in the prior year. The improvement in cash flow from operating activities in 2005 demonstrates the effectiveness our efforts to implement efficiencies in operations and reduce overall operating costs and increase revenue streams.
ITEM 3. 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, 2005. 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, 2005, 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 14
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.

PART II - - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding, other than the case listed below, and was not a party to any other legal proceeding during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Other than the case listed below management is currently not aware of any other legal proceedings proposed to be initiated against the Company. However, from time to time, we may become subject to claims and litigation generally associated with any business venture.
On February 18, 2005, Campney & Murphy, a Partnership, who acted for the Company prior to their dissolution on or about August 31, 2003, filed a suit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the Company. The suit is related to non-payment of invoices of CAD$57,556.02, plus interest, for services rendered prior to August 17, 2001.
We have taken the position that the amount claimed constitutes an amount significantly in excess of the value of the work performed. We are currently in negotiations with Campney & Murphy with a view to settling the litigation. There is, however, no guarantee that the settlement negotiation will be successful and, if not, we will defend the action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
