CREATOR CAPITAL LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1
Nature and Continuance of Operations
Creator Capital Limited (the “Company”), a Bermuda exempted company, changed its name from Sky Games International Ltd. to Interactive Entertainment Limited in June 1997. On September 27, 2000 the name changed to Creator Capital Limited. At the 2010 Annual General Meeting the Shareholders approved to change the name of the Company to Fireflies Environmental Limited. Upon FINRA approving the Company’s filing, the name change will be effected.
The Company is publicly quoted on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States of America.
The Company is engaged in providing in-flight gaming and entertainment software and services by developing, implementing and operating or licensing computerized video gaming and other entertainment software on, but not limited to the aircraft of international commercial air carriers. Gaming software is marketed using the name Sky Games® and the entertainment software is marketed using the name Sky Play®.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2011, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, having accumulated losses of $71,606,936 since its inception. It has a working capital deficiency of$7,049,104and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances. However, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and are stated in US dollars. Differences with respect to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are described in Note 13. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
a)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:
Creator Capital (Nevada) Inc., (formerly Sky Games International Corp.) (a Nevada corporation); and
Creator Island Equities Inc. (a British Columbia corporation).
The subsidiary companies are inactive. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
b)
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost. Equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the following methods:
Computer equipment
3 years straight-line
Furniture
5 years straight-line
Website
8 years straight-line
Additions are depreciated at one-half rate during the year of acquisition.
c)
Website Development Costs
Website development costs relate to costs incurred to develop a website and meet the criteria for deferral. The costs are being amortized over the estimated life of the website are subject to an annual impairment assessment.
d)
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued dividends payable and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or currency risk arising from these financial instruments. For accounts receivable, the Company estimates, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and provides a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value.
e)
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share (“LPS”) is calculated by dividing loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted LPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities are exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Fully diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
f)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, shipment has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue for Sky Play is recognized each month upon invoicing.
g)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired or liabilities assumed. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rate approximating the rate of exchange on the transaction date. All exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net loss for the year.
h)
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets and intangibles held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that an entity expects to hold and use may not be recoverable, future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its disposition must be estimated. If the undiscounted value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, impairment is recognized.
i)
Stock-based Compensation
CCL records a compensation cost attributable to all stock options granted at fair value at the grant date,. The Black-Scholes valuation model is used and the cost is expensed over their vesting period, with a corresponding increase to the equity account, Additional Paid-in Capital. Upon exercise of the share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in the Additional Paid-in Capital, is recorded as an increase to Share capital.
The Black Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including price volatility, if any. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
j)
Change in Accounting Policy
On January 1, 2007, CCL adopted the CICA Handbook Sections:
#1530 – Comprehensive Income
#3251 – Equity
#3855 – Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
#3861 – Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation
#3865 – Hedges.
Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events form non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Section 3855 prescribes when a financial asset, liability or non-financial derivative is to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount, requiring fair value or cost-based measures under difference circumstances. Financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories:
-
Held for trading
-
Held to maturity
-
Loans and receivables
-
Available for sale financial assets
-
Other financial liabilities
All financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, except for loans and receivables, held to maturity investments and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows:
- Held for trading financial assets are measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings;
- available for sale financial instruments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net earnings.
Under adoption of these new standards, CCL designated its accounts receivable as loans and receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.
Section 3861 establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed and, therefore, the comparative figures have not been restated.
Section 3865 describes when and how hedge accounting can be applied as well as the disclosure requirements. Hedge accounting enables the recording of gains, losses, revenue and expenses form derivative financial instruments in the same period as for those related to the hedged item.
The adoption of these Handbook Sections had no impact on opening deficit.
k)
On June 1, 2007 the Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA issued Abstract No. 166, Accounting Policy Choice for Transaction Costs (“EIC-166”). This EIC address the accounting policy choice of expensing or adding transaction costs related to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities that are classification as other than held for tranding. Specifically, it requires that the same accounting policy choice be applied to all similar financial instruments classified as other than held for trading, but permits a different policy choice for financial instruments that are not similar. The Company has adopted EIC-166 effective December 31, 2007, and requires retroactive application to all transaction costs accounted for in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. The Company has evaluated the impact of EIC-166 and determined that no adjustments are currently required.
l)
Accounting Changes
In July 2006, the Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued a replacement of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ Handbook (“CICA Handbook”) Section 1506, Accounting Changes. The new standard allows for voluntary changes in accounting policy only when they result in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information, requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively, unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and calls for enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements. The adoption of Section 1506 did not have a material impact on the 2007 financial statements.

m)
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued three new accounting standards:
-
Section 1535, Capital Disclosures
-
Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures
-
Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation
These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements for the Company’s reporting period beginning on December 1, 2007.
Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of:
i)
an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital
ii)
quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital
iii)
whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and
iv)
if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance
The new Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
n) Financial Statement Concepts
Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted the amendments to the guidelines of CICA Handbook Section 1000. It has been amended to focus on the capitalization of costs that meet the definition of an asset and de-emphasizes the matching principle. The revised requirements are effective for annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted the new standards for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.
o)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued CICA Handbook Section 3064 which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and also replaces Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets. The Standards in Section 3062 remain unchanged. The Section 3064 applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted the new standards for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009
The Company is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards on its financial statements.
p)
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In 2006, AcSB published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for all reporting Companies, including this Company. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February, 2008, the AcSB announced that the year 2011 is the changeover year for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 20011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 required the restatement of comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Capital Stock
The Class A preference shares are non-voting and are convertible at any time into common shares at the option of the holder. Dividends on the Class A preference shares are cumulative and payable quarterly at an annual dividend rate of 9%. The Company, at its option, may redeem the Class A preference shares, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The Company is not required to redeem the Class A preference shares.
In 1997, the Company exchanged a promissory note in the amount of $2,737,000 for 2,737 Class A preference shares at $1,000 per share. In 1998, the Company redeemed 500 of the Class A preference shares at their redemption price of $1,000 per share. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 2,237 Class A Preference Stock remained outstanding.

For the Fourth Fiscal Three Month Quarter ended December 31, 2010 the accrued Dividends recorded was $148,320 They remain unpaid and are in arrears.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, CCL restated the presentation of the Class A Preferred shares In accordance with CICA 3861. CICA 3861 covers “Financial Instrument – Disclosure and Presentation”. It dictates the reclassification from Equity to Current Liability of the Class A Preferred Shares, and their paid in capital totaling $2,237,421. On the Balance sheet this has been added to the Current Liability of Accrued dividends. The Preferred shares have the contractual obligation to either delivered a fixed amount or settle the obligation be delivering its out equity instrument. This they meet the definition of a financial liability. This is where the Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principals differ from those of the United States of America.
In 1997, the Company issued Series A and Series B Class B convertible preference shares which are convertible into common shares of the Company. Dividends are cumulative and may be paid, at the option of the Company and with prior notice, in additional common shares at an annual dividend rate of 8%. As of December 31, 2002, all Series A and Series B Class B convertible preference shares as well as cumulative dividends related thereto have been converted into common shares.

During March 2001, the consulting entity informed the Company that consulting services were not provided and offered to annul the Consulting Agreement and return the shares to the Company for cancellation. The Company accepted this offer and the common shares are to be returned to Treasury. As of March 31st, 2007, these shares have yet to be returned.
At December 31, 2006, Nil (2005: 3,525,000) common shares were held in escrow by the Company’s transfer agent. The escrow agreement relating to these shares expired in a prior year. On February 13, 2006, these shares were returned to Treasury.

On August 9, 2007, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss for the reason that the Company’s contacts with the State of Texas were sufficient for the court to assert specific personal jurisdiction over them.
On March 9, 2009, the case was called to trial before a jury. The jury heard the evidence and returned a verdict in favor of Creator Capital Ltd. The Plaintiffs were entitled to receive nothing from Creator Capital and the court has accepted the verdict of the jury. On April 16, 2009 the Court Issued the Judgment confirming to the verdict of the jury. After the judgment was signed, the Plaintiffs had the opportunity to appeal. The appeal period has expired.

Differences Between International Financial Reporting Standards and the United States of America
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (”IFRS”), which differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Derivative Liabilities
Preferred Shares
Under IFRS, the Company’s Class A preferred shares and accrued dividends payable thereon are classified as a financial liability because the Company has the contractual obligation to either deliver a fixed amount or settle the obligation by delivering its own equity instrument. Under U.S. GAAP, effective June 30, 2001, the Company was required to bifurcate the conversion feature of the preferred shares as a derivative liability pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. In accordance with these provisions, the Company calculated the fair value of the derivative liability as at June 30, 2001, the effective date of ASC 815, and re-measured its fair value at each subsequent financial statement date with the changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s statement of operations. The discount resulting from bifurcating the derivative liability from the preferred shares was fully accreted by a charge to shareholders’ equity on the initial date of the measurement of the derivative liability. Under U.S. GAAP, for financial statement presentation purposes, the balance of the preferred shares is reflected on the balance as temporary equity because the ability to issue common shares in the event of a preferred share conversion is not within the control the Company. Since the Company has no retained earnings, the dividends would be a charge to additional paid-in capital and not accumulated deficit under U.S. GAAP. The dividend is included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.
Stock Options
Under IFRS, the Company records the fair value of its stock option grants as stock-based compensation along with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Under U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815, the Company is required to classify its outstanding stock options as liabilities; representing the fair value of the obligation should the Company be required to settle the exercise of options in cash for failure to have sufficient authorized common shares to issue. The fair value of the stock options is periodically re-measured at each financial statement date for the duration that the options are outstanding. As a result, the Company has determined the fair value of the options as at December 31, 2010 to be $34,750 (2009 - $2,629).
Note 14
United States of America Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Specifically, the pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain tax position. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, the Company is still analyzing the effects of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Statement is to be effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that adoption might have on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expressed SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements”. This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. This FSP is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that re entered into or modified subsequent to December 31, 2006. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to December 31, 2006, the guidance in the FSP is effective January 1, 2006 for the Company. The Company does not believe that this FSP will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 might have on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements
Note 15
Non-cash Transactions
Investing and financing activities that do not have a direct impact on current cash flows are excluded from the statements of cash flows. However, the accrued Dividends Payable on the re-categorized Preferred Shares are included. During the three month Year-to-date period ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized preferred share dividends payable of $141,664 (for the same period during 2010: $49,653).

In addition to the regularly calculated preferred share dividends, the agreement calls for the compounding of the dividends payable annually, this is recorded in the fiscal Fourth Quarter. During the Fourth Quarter’s three month period ending December 31, 2010 the Company recognized preferred share dividends payable of $148,320 (2009: $489,098). The 2009 amount included the compounding of the outstanding interest for the 2009 fiscal year of $262,467. It also included an additional amount of $175,875 previously unrecorded for the 2008 fiscal year.

Sky Play®, is currently used by Sri Lankan Airways.
The Product

Sky Play®
Sky Play® PC Interactive Games offers airlines the choice of up to 19 amusement games. Unlike Nintendo-style games, which are designed to keep the player challenged and interested over long periods of time, and which generally require player skill developed over a period of time, CCL has selected and developed the Sky Play® amusement games which have very simple rules, are already well known or easy to learn, and are very simple to play. Games are licensed to airlines for a monthly license fee on a per game, per aircraft basis.

The Industry
According to Boeing Company's 2010-2029 Current Market Outlook (“CMO”) annualized world GDP is forecast to grow at an average of 3.2% per year over the next 20 years beginning in 2008, an increase of 0.1%. The report noted that, the total market potential for new commercial airplanes is 29,000. Over the long term, CCL believes these forecasts represent a substantial market for In-flight Entertainment (“IFE”) systems and in-flight content over the long-term. CCL’s financial performance is dependent on the environment in which its business operates. During the second half of 2008, global economic growth slowed as the US entered a recession. As the global economic growth entered the recession it was assumed it would slow market growth over the next couple of years. However, the CMO noted during the first half of 2010 the industry rebounded with passenger traffic projected to rise 6.0% for that year.
Boeing has observed the resilience that global airline markets have shown over time is reflected in average annual passenger traffic growth of 4.9 percent and air cargo growth of 5.4 percent over the past 20 years. This growth was founded on world economic growth of 3.2 percent and further stimulated by liberalization of market regulations in many countries. Looking ahead over the next 20 years, the world economy is set to grow at 3.2 percent.
The introduction and acceptance of portable (non embedded or installed) IFE units is growing steadily. The positive impact of these portable IFE units/systems is the trend towards lighter, less expensive IFE architecture, with the focus of such architecture being the individual seating area of each passenger. Boeing has found that there is a shifting balance toward smaller twin-aisle airplanes in the future is driven by passengers who prefer to travel directly between their points of origin and destination.
Looking ahead, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa regions’ traffic are growing at the fastest rates of 6.9%, 6.4% and 6.4% respectively. Boeing’s CMO 2009 predicts that the Asia-Pacific (including within China) will become the largest internal market over the next 20 years, overtaking the market within North America. Markets in Asia-Pacific have powerful combinations of large economies, rapid economic growth, and liberalizing markets. These figures are a positive factor in CCL’s continuing strategy for initially targeting airlines in the Asia Pacific region.
Regional traffic trends are an important factor in CCL’s marketing strategies. According to the Boeing CMO annual passenger traffic will grow by 7.1% in the Asia Pacific region; 6.0% in the Middle East; 2.8% within North America; 4.1% within Europe; 7.1% within Latin America; 5.7% in Africa. IMDC also states that key growth markets will be China and India. However, the longer haul, twin aisle market will remain the focus for CCL’s Sky Games.
An observation by Sally Gethin in her March 2007 article in Aircraft Interiors International “All bets are off?” confirms CCL’s research and conclusions regarding the potential of Gaming on International airlines: She states that gaming is a numbers game: “Gambling over existing airline IFE systems could provide phenomenal returns for airlines – higher even than existing games offered on board according to research conducted by IMDC, which provides forecasting and surveys for airlines and IFE manufacturers.”
Gethin also quotes the 1995 Department of Transportation report to the US Congress, which CCL has already utilized in its research and quoted in many of its forecasts. The report states that potential earnings of US$1 million per aircraft per annum are indeed possible. Any airline with an Atlantic and Pacific fleet numbering 267 aircraft (average size of US international and national airline fleets at the time) could therefore recoup a gross of US$267 million a year.
Gethin also mentions CCL in the article under its former name; “During the 1990s, a company called IEL offered low stakes in-flight gambling to the international airline business and worked with Singapore Airlines to install the necessary software. This was short-lived due to incompatibility issues with the software and the IFE hardware, which impacted upon reliability.” Such incompatibilities no longer exist. Technology has improved to the point of offering not only much more sophisticated, embedded hardware, but also the very viable option of portable units. Such portability echoes of CCL’s initial concept of a portable gaming device, which could be issued on the aircraft in exactly the same manner as the portable IMS Pea in the Pod and the DigePlayers are issued today.

Competition
There are currently four companies supplying the in-flight interactive PC games marketplace: Creator Capital, DTI, Nintendo, and Western Outdoor Interactive. Creator is a distant fourth in the industry.
IMDC reports that there are three main types of interactive software packages offered by games suppliers; games; gambling software, and educational software. Not all suppliers supply in all three areas. CCL currently offers games and gambling software.
Market and Marketing
In the very competitive airline market, airlines are seeking a distinctive, competitive edge to attract and retain paying customers. Entertainment and service systems form a part of the airlines’ current business strategy. CCL believes that the principal benefit of its product to the airlines is the ability to enhance entertainment offerings to passengers. IFE systems are capital intensive; however, providing passenger service and comfort, especially for first and business class travelers, is a major area of competition for airlines. The target market for Sky Play® has been domestic and foreign airlines, which have committed to the purchase of, or already have installed IFE systems.
CCL's primary target market remains the Asian and Pacific Rim airlines whose passengers, with certain exceptions, generally have a broad cultural acceptance of gaming. The Company also believes that the Latin American markets also hold significant potential.
CCL believes that the principal benefits of its product to the airlines will be passenger satisfaction and airline participation in a potential alternate “non-ticket” revenue stream. IFE systems are capital intensive; however, providing passenger service and comfort, especially for first and business class travelers, is a major area of competition for airlines. The Company believes that new methods of increasing revenues while providing a high level of service will be seriously considered by the airlines; however, there can be no assurance that in-flight gaming will be among the alternatives considered by airlines. Although the system is designed for gaming using currency, the system could be adapted to "pay-for-play" mode in those circumstances where gaming utilizing currency is not legal and that a system utilizing frequent flyer credits and other rewards can be integrated as part of the gaming program.
CCL expects to derive its income from a split of gaming revenues with the airline. The Company does not anticipate selling its gaming products in order to generate revenue. Airlines will receive a percentage of net revenue generated by Sky Games® on their respective flights. Passenger payouts and certain direct operating costs will be deducted from revenue and the "win" will be split on a negotiated basis. Airlines have utilized similar revenue-sharing arrangement with other product/service providers, such as in-flight communication companies (e.g. GTE Airfone). CCL would provide certain training, banking, accounting and administrative functions. The airline will provide the aircraft, the equipment, the passengers and in-flight personnel.
CCL is currently reviewing its future strategies in the airline market by researching and evaluating the process of developing several new games for the Sky Play® PC Interactive Games Catalogue, while updating some of the current games. This will enable CCL to offer current client fresh material, while affording an opportunity to re-visit previous clients and potential new clients. CCL is also currently re-evaluating and redesigning the Sky Games®® In-flight Gaming System in order to ensure its smooth integration in to the newer, more sophisticated IFE hardware platforms being developed an introduced to the Airline Industry today.
Major Customers
The Company’s Sky Play® customer is Sri Lankan Airways.

The World Economy
As with all businesses selling products during these current unstable economic times, the short-term will be very challenging. Economic forecasts are being constantly challenged with the slow and erratic effort of the Worldwide Economy to recover from the Recession. Being involved in the airline industry, with its volatile economic fluctuations, the period of time it takes for the Global economy to climb out of the Worldwide Recession may be longer than the Company’s business can financially survive. With all of Revenues generated in the Asian Region, the Company’s business is subject to that volatile region’s ability to recover.
DISCUSSION OF OPERATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
First fiscal Three Month Quarter Period Ended March 31, 2011 with comparatives to the Last fiscal Three Month Quarter Period Ended December 31, 2010
REVENUES
Revenue consists of fees generated from the licensing of the Sky Play® PC based amusement games to the Airline Industry. Airline clients install the games on their inflight entertainment systems (IFE) as part of the inflight entertainment offered to passengers. Operations revenue for the First three months Quarter period ended March 31, 2011 was $1,750 compared to $3,500 forthe Last fiscal Three Month Quarter Period Ended December 31, 2010. One of the Company’s clients, Jalux (Japan Airlines), has retired all their older airplanes o n which the Sky Play games were installed.. This was a result of their financial restructuring under the Japanese bankruptcy regulations.

During the three months Final Fiscal Quarter period ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $10,500 ($10,500 for same period in 2010) in consulting fees and $507 ($786 for same period in) in expense reimbursements. Included in the Account Payable accounts is $128,831 representing outstanding fees and reimbursements.
A company controlled by management of the Company formerly provided consulting services and incurred expense reimbursements. Included in the Accounts Payable account is $71,914 representing outstanding fees and reimbursements.
A company controlled by management of the Company provides accounting and administrative services to the Company. During the three months First Fiscal Quarter period ended March 31, 2011 the Company incurred $6,000 ($same period in 2010) for such accounting and administrative services, and $2,167 ($2,036 for the same period in 2010) in expense reimbursements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,049,104 (2010: $6,323,912). The moving of the Preferred Share amount from Equity to the current Liability designation has contributed to this deficit. The Company had negative cash flow from operations during the three months Year-to-date Quarter period ended March 31, 2011 of $5,254. The diminishing revenue has been sufficient to provide the necessary funds for marketing, for continued development of the Company's products but not adequate to fund payment of the Company's dividend obligations on outstanding preference shares. The Company negotiated a restructuring and reduction of certain amounts owed to two of its largest creditors and to a best effort deferred payment plan on these obligations. One of the Notes Payable creditors completed their bankruptcy with total liquidation. Despite the Company’s efforts with the Receiver they ended up with a judgment against the Company. To date, no further correspondence has been received. Due to the operating losses of the past years, the Company’s continuance as a “going concern” is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations in its current business activities.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On January 1, 2007, CCL adopted the CICA Handbook Sections:
#1530 – Comprehensive Income
#3251 – Equity
#3855 – Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement
#3861 – Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation
#3865 – Hedges.
Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events form non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 3855 prescribes when a financial asset, liability or non-financial derivative is to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount, requiring fair value or cost-based measures under difference circumstances. Financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories:
- Held for trading
- Held to maturity
- Loans and receivables
- Available for sale financial assets
- Other financial liabilities

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, except for loans and receivables, held to maturity investments and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows:
-
Held for trading financial assets are measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings;
-
available for sale financial instruments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net earnings.
Under adoption of these new standards, CCL designated its accounts receivable as loans and receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.
Section 3861 establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed and, therefore, the comparative figures have not been restated.
Section 3865 describes when and how hedge accounting can be applied as well as the disclosure requirements. Hedge accounting enables the recording of gains, losses, revenue and expenses form derivative financial instruments in the same period as for those related to the hedged item.
The adoption of these Handbook Sections had no impact on opening deficit.
On June 1, 2007 the Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA issued Abstract No. 166, Accounting Policy Choice for Transaction Costs (“EIC-166”). This EIC address the accounting policy choice of expensing or adding transaction costs related to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities that are classification as other than held for tranding. Specifically, it requires that the same accounting policy choice be applied to all similar financial instruments classified as other than held for trading, but permits a different policy choice for financial instruments that are not similar. The Company has adopted EIC-166 effective December 31, 2007, and requires retroactive application to all transaction costs accounted for in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. The Company has evaluated the impact of EIC-166 and determined that no adjustments are currently required.
In July 2006, the Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued a replacement of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ Handbook (“CICA Handbook”) Section 1506, Accounting Changes. The new standard allows for voluntary changes in accounting policy only when they result in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information, requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively, unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and calls for enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements. The adoption of Section 1506 did not have a material impact on the 2007 financial statements.
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued three new accounting standards:
- Section 1535, Capital Disclosures
- Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures
- Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation
These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements for the Company’s reporting period beginning on December 1, 2007.

Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of:
i)
an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital
ii)
quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital
iii)
whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and
iv)
if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance
The new Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
Financial Statement Concepts
Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted the amendments to the guidelines of CICA Handbook Section 1000. It has been amended to focus on the capitalization of costs that meet the definition of an asset and de-emphasizes the matching principle. The revised requirements are effective for annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted the new standards for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued CICA Handbook Section 3064 which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and also replaces Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets. The Standards in Section 3062 remain unchanged. The Section 3064 applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted the new standards for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009
The Company is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards on its financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In 2006, AcSB published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for all reporting Companies, including this Company. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February, 2008, the AcSB announced that the year 2011 is the changeover year for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 20011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 required the restatement of comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
To date, with the exception of Accounts Receivable, Payables and Notes Payable, the Company did not make use of any financial or other instrument for any other purpose. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to the risks associated with such instruments. With the exception of the Balance Sheet classifications of Accounts Receivable, Payables and Notes Payable, there is no financial statement classification that includes such instruments. With the exception of Interest expenses, there is no income, expense, gain or loss associated with such instruments recorded anywhere in the Company’s financial records nor included in the Company’s financial statements.
