CREATOR CAPITAL LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
(Stated in U.S. 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. At the 2011 Annual General Meeting, held March 30, 2012, the Company received shareholder approval for returning the Company name to Creator Capital Limited.
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®.
The head office, principal address and registered and records office is located on Floor Six, 65 Front Street, Hamilton, Islands of Bermuda, HM12.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, 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 consolidated 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. As at June 30, 2013, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, having a working capital deficit of $8,714,527 (June 30, 2012: $7,868,496) has accumulated losses of $73,272,357 (June 30, 2012: $72,426,328) since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional financing in order to meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future, particularly in light of current global economic conditions. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the IASB and IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations which were not yet effective during the year ended 31 December 2012.
·
IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement’ is a new financial instruments standard effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 that replaces IAS 39 and IFRIC 9 for classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.
- 8 -| Page
·
IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ is a new standard effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 that replaces consolidation requirements in IAS 27 (as amended in 2008) and SIC-12. The IASB issued a number of new and revised IASs, IFRSs, amendments and related IFRICs which are effective for the Company’s financial year beginning on 1 January 2011. For the purpose of preparing and presenting the consolidated financial statements, the Company has consistently adopted all these new standards for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012.
·
IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ is a new standard effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 that replaces fair value measurement guidance in other IFRSs.
·
IAS 1 (Amendment) ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012 and includes amendments regarding Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income.
·
IAS 27 (Amendment) ‘Separate Financial Statements’ is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 that prescribes the accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements.
The Company has determined that the application of these standards, amendments and interpretations will not have a material impact on the financial position and financial performance of the Company.
These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in the Dollar currency of the United States of America.
These consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 15, 2013.
The consolidated interim 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:
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) (Annual Fees were not paid to maintain this Company, it is now struck off); 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.
Equipment
As at the end of the current Interim period there are no equipment assets.
c)
Website Development Costs
As at the end of the current interim period there are no current website development costs.
- 9 -| Page
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.
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.
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.
- 10 -| Page
j)
Accounting Standards Issued, But not yet Effective
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 are the New Standard IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, New Standard IFRS 13,”Fair Value Measurement”.
IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance currently dispersed across different IFRS standards with a single definition of fair value and extensive application guidance. IFRS 13 provides guidance on how to measure fair value and does not introduce new requirements for when fair value is required or permitted. It also establishes disclosure requirements to provide users of the financial statements with more information about fair value measurements.
The Company has not early adopted these revised standards and is currently assessing the impact that
Note 3
Notes Payable
IFRS 39 stipulates that the Company’s financial liabilities be measured at ‘amortized cost’. This is defined as the originally recorded amount: less any principal repayments; plus or minus the cumulative amortization, using the ‘effective interest method’ of any difference between the originally recorded amount and the maturity amount. The various loan amounts, represented by the Notes Payable, have been recorded at their principal amount at the date of each loan, which are deemed to be fair value. No premium was paid on any of these Notes Payable. No transaction costs were incurred in the borrowing of these funds. The interest bearing Notes Payable have their interest cost calculated and recorded monthly. Hence, the use of the measurement of value of the Notes Payable at amortized costs would not be materially different from the amounts presented.

The Industry
According to Boeing Company's 2012-2031 Current Market Outlook (“CMO”) annualized world GDP is forecast to grow at an average of 3.2% per year over the next 20 years, a decrease of 0.1%. The report noted that, the total market potential for new commercial airplanes is 34,000. 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 recent data suggests the global economy is recovering with the emerging economies, led by China, and are expanding at a moderate rate.
Boeing has observed the resilience that global airline markets have shown over time as the industry has reliably returned to its long term annual passenger traffic growth of 5.0%, and air cargo growth of 5.2%, over the next 20 years. This growth was founded on world economic growth of 3.3% and further stimulated by liberalization of market regulations in many countries. It is tempered by the high oil prices, price volatility caused by generalized EU economic unrest as well as general unrest in the Middle East and the Far East.
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 estimates 60% of all new planes will be single aisle sized, reflecting the growth in emerging markets, and the continued expansion of law cost carriers.
Looking ahead, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East to Asia regions’ traffic are growing at the fastest rates of 7.2%, 6.7% and 6.5%, respectively. Boeing’s CMO 2013 predicts that emerging and developing economies will account or 72% of global growth through 2031. Their share of real global GDP will increase from 30 to 44%. 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 7.2 % in the Asia Pacific region; 4.8% in the Transpacific Region; 3.8% within North America; 3.5% within Europe; 5.1% within Latin America; 4.8% in Africa.

Boeing has the strengthening trend 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 the Middle East to Asia regions’ traffic are growing at the fastest rates of 7.0%, 6.7% and 7.2% 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 6.8 % in the Asia Pacific region; 5.1% in the Transpacific Region; 2.3% within North America; 4.0% within Europe; 6.7% within Latin America; 4.6% in Africa.
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 that states that potential earnings of US$1 million per aircraft per annum are indeed possible. 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 (an airline consulting firm specializing in cabin and communication technologies) 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.

Any Sky Games contract would be based upon CCL receiving 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. Subsequent to the Singapore Airlines venture of 1995, the CCL has not negotiated any other airline agreements.
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
Second Interim Period Ended June 30, 2013 with comparatives to the second Interim Period Ended June 30, 2012.
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 Interim period ended June 30, 2013 were nil compared to $1,750 for June 30, 2012. One of the Company’s clients, Jalux (Japan Airlines), had been retiring all their older airplanes on which the Sky Play games were installed. This activity accelerated with their financial restructuring under the Japanese bankruptcy regulations. Jalux is no longer a Sky Play client.
During 2012 Sri Lankan Airways retired the airplane on which the Sky Play games were installed. Currently, no clients are using the Sky Play games.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,714,527 (2012: $7,868,496). 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 period ended June 30, 2013 of $808. The lack of revenue does not provide the necessary funds for marketing, for continued development of the Company's products, norto fund payment of the Company's dividend obligations on outstanding preference shares. 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.
CAPITAL FINANCING
There were no capital financings during the period. All operations and expenses were funded by related party loans.

The invoicing arrangement with the Company’s client is for bi-monthly invoicing for the prior sixty day business periods. The Client provides the details of the Sky Play games’ usage during the prior sixty days. The Company issues the invoice, submitting it to the client for approval. With the client’s acceptance, the invoice is deemed issued and the amount is recognized as revenue. Such bi-monthly invoicing does not allow for a consistent Quarterly flow of revenue. Hence, there is a consistent difference each Quarter in the recording of Revenue. Now there are no clients no revenue invoices were issued during the June 30, 2013 Quarter.
The June, 2011 Quarterly Revenue experienced an increase of $1,750 from the March, 2011 Quarter’s Revenue of $1,750: the difference being the date of the client’s bimonthly invoice.
