NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
Creator Capital Limited (the “Company”) is a Bermuda exempted company, which in June 1997, changed its name from Sky Games International Ltd. to Interactive Entertainment Limited and on September 27, 2000 changed its name 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 the Shareholder approve the return the Company name to Creator Capital Limited

Gaming software is marketed using the name Sky Games® and the entertainment software is marketed using the name Sky Play®.
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
International financial reporting standards (“IFRS”)
In 2006 the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) over a five-year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover year for publicly-accountable enterprises to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company’s changeover date was July 1, 2010. This requires the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by Company for the year ended June 30, 2010. There is little impact on the accounting policies, data systems, internal controls over financial reporting, and business activities, such as financing and compensation arrangements during the period leading up to the transition date. The Company’s full adoption of IFRS is reflected in the year end of December 31, 2011.
IAS 34 statement of compliance
These consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards” (known by its abbreviation “IFRS”). These Interim Financial Statements are the Company’s fifth IFRS interim financial statements after its transition to reporting in accordance with IFRS and before the issuance of its first publicly issued consolidated annual IFRS financial statements. IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” (herein addressed as “IFRS 1”) was applied to the March 31, 2011 consolidated interim financial statements.
Creator Capital Limited September 30, 2012 Interim Financials | Page 9 |
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Business combinations
“IFRS-3 Business Combinations” applies to a transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. Most assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities that are considered to be improbable, will be measured at fair value. Any interest in the acquiree owned prior to obtaining control will be re-measured at fair value at the acquisition date, eliminating the need for guidance on step acquisitions. Additionally, a bargain purchase will result in recognition of a gain and acquisition costs must be expensed. Earlier application is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2010.
Statement of compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.
Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical costs basis except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Presentation of financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been presented by applying the revised IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became effective as of January 1, 2009. As a result, the statement of changes in equity presents all owner changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the statement of comprehensive income. This presentation has been applied in these consolidated financial statements.
Comparative information has been re-presented so that is it also in conformity with the revised standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation aspects, there is no impact on the earnings per share.
Creator Capital Limited September 30, 2012 Interim Financials | Page 10 |
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Foreign Currencies
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.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon client approved invoicing.
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired, as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss - This category comprises derivatives, or assets acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing such financial assets in the near term. They are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss or income.
Loans and receivables - These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at cost less any provision for impairment. Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.
Held-to-maturity investments - These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, determined by reference to external credit ratings and other relevant indicators, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss or income.
Available-for-sale - Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are classified as available-for-sale. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in equity. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset constitutes objective evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is removed from equity and recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss or income.
All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described above.
Financial liabilities
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired, as follows:
Creator Capital Limited September 30, 2012 Interim Financials | Page 11 |
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Fair value through profit or loss - This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing such financial liabilities in the near term. They are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss or income.
Other financial liabilities: This category includes accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which are recognized at amortized cost.
The Company has classified its cash as fair value through profit and loss. The Company’s accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. The Company’s accounts payables and accruals, and notes payable are classified as other financial liabilities.
Income taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded using the statement of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable loss; nor differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it is probable that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against that excess.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Stock Options
The Company grants options in accordance with policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company has a stock option plan as described in note 7. The Company records all stock-based compensation using the fair value method.
Creator Capital Limited September 30, 2012 Interim Financials | Page 12 |
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Compensation expense attributable to share based awards to employees is measured at the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value takes into account a number of variables, including the exercise price of the award, the expected dividend rate, the expected life of the options and the risk free interest rate. The expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the graded vesting period of the award. The forfeiture rate is assumed to be nil and the expense is adjusted prospectively as forfeitures occur. Compensation expense attributable to awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets is measured at intrinsic value and recognized over the vesting period.
Under the fair value based method, stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods and/or services received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the performance period of the award. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.
Loss per share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributed to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributed to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related party may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Notes Payable
Notes payable includes the principal borrowed. Having terms under one year, they are deemed current liabilities. Notes payable in Canadian dollars are adjusted at each quarter end for currency rate fluctuations.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions for environmental restoration, legal claims, onerous leases and other onerous commitments are recognized at the best estimates of the expenditures required to settle the Company’s liability.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. An amount equivalent to the discounted provision is capitalized within tangible fixed assets and is depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Creator Capital Limited September 30, 2012 Interim Financials | Page 13 |
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”). OCI represents changes in shareholder’s equity during a period arising from transactions and other events with non-owner sources. For the period covered by these consolidated financial statements comprehensive loss and net loss are the same.
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both current and future periods.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretation Committee that were mandatory for accounting periods beginning after January 1, 2011 or later periods.
The Company has early adopted the amendment to IFRS 1 which replaces references to a fixed date of “January 1, 2004” with the “date of transition to IFRS”. This eliminates the need for the Company to restate de-recognition transactions that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The amendment is effective for year-ends beginning on or after July 1, 2011; however, the Company has early adopted the amendment. The impact of the amendment and early adoption is that the Company only applies IAS 39 de-recognition requirements to transactions that occurred after the date of transition.
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations that have not been early adopted in these consolidated financial statements will or may have an effect on the Company’s future results and financial position:
· | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is part of the IASB’s wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortization costs and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. |
· | IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 10 requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Under existing IFRS, consolidation is required when an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. IFRS 10 replaces SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted. |
Creator Capital Limited September 30, 2012 Interim Financials | Page 14 |
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
· | IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - IFRS 13 is a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across all IFRS standards. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. It also establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Under existing IFRS, guidance on measuring and disclosing fair value is dispersed among the specific standards requiring fair value measurements and in many cases does not reflect a clear measurement basis or consistent disclosures. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted. |
· | Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (Amendments to IAS 12 - Effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012). |
Equipment
As at the end of the current Interim period there are no current equipment assets.
Website Development Costs
As at the end of the current interim period there are no current website development costs.
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.
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.
Basis 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);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.

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 cost would not be materially different from the amounts presented.
| | September 30, 2012 | | | December 31, 2011 | |
| | | | | | |
Unsecured, interest bearing at 10% per annum | | $ | 106,853 | | | | 73,730 | |

| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 186,355 | | | $ | 115,605 | |
| | | | | | | | |
These notes are past due and, consequently, are classified as current liabilities.
All interest incurred on interest bearing notes is included in the Accounts Payable account.

| On November 27, 2006, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit whereby the plaintiffs were claiming damages against the Company with respect to investments totaling $339,488 that the plaintiffs had invested in a California company affiliated with ETV that had no contractual relationship with the Company. The plaintiffs were seeking compensatory damages of $1,018,464 as well as related attorney’s fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction during 2006. |
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.

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 2011-2030 Current Market Outlook (“CMO”) annualized world GDP is forecast to grow at an average of 3.3% per year over the next 20 years, an increase of 0.1%. The report noted that, the total market potential for new commercial airplanes is 33,500. 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, are expanding at a moderate rate.
Boeing has observed the resilience that global airline markets have shown over time is reflected in average annual passenger traffic growth of 5.1 percent and air cargo growth of 5.6 percent over the next 20 years. This growth was founded on world economic growth of 3.3 percent and further stimulated by liberalization of market regulations in many countries. It is tempered by the high oil prices and price volatility resulting from political unrest in the Middle 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 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.
Creator Capital Limited June 30, 2012 Interim Financials MD&A | Page 3 |
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.
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 was Sri Lankan Airways. Until the Second Quarter, Sri Lankan Airways operated an airplane which had the Sky Play games installed. That airplane was retired.
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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,868,496 (2011: $7,226,227). The moving of the Preferred Share amount from Equity to the current Liability designation has contributed to this deficit size. The Company had positive cash flow from operations during the Six months Year-to-date Quarter period ended June 30, 2012 of $413. The diminished revenue is now not sufficient to provide the necessary funds for marketing, for continued development of the Company's products, nor to 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. With the only client retiring its airplane, there no clients using any of the Company’s products.
CAPITAL FINANCING
There were no capital financings during the period. All operations and expenses were funded by the cash flow generated by revenues and accounts payable.

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. However, during the Period SkyPlay’s only client retired the airplane on which the games were installed.
The June, 2010 Quarterly Revenue experienced a decrease of $4,100 from the March, 2010 Quarter’s Revenue. The Jalux airliner retirement is the cause. The loss is due to the addition in this Quarter of the March, 2010 cumulative dividend feature as well as this Quarter’s cumulative dividend. During the Quarter, a new legal counsel was consulted.
The September, 2010 Quarterly Revenue results were a decrease of $1750, from the June, 2010 Quarterly Revenue.
The difference being the date of one client’s bimonthly invoice. The decrease in the loss is due to the recording of only the Quarter’s Preferred Share dividend.
The December, 2010’s Quarterly revenues of $3,500 reflected the closing of the Jalux account. With their bankruptcy proceedings accelerating the retirement of all their older inefficient airliners, Sky Play is no longer on any of their airplanes.
The March, 2011 three Months’ Quarterly Revenue of $1,750 are from the one client in Asia. This is a bimonthly invoicing. The increase in the loss reflects the loss of Jalux as well as an auditor’s recommended adjustment to the outstanding Preferred Dividend balance. The March 31, 2011 Quarter’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards”
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.
The September, 2011 Quarterly Revenue results were a decrease of $1750 from the June, 2011 Quarterly Revenue: the difference being the date of the client’s bimonthly invoice. A contributing factor to the increase in the loss is increase in legal fees incurred by the new corporate legal counsel.
The December, 2011’s Quarterly revenues of $3,500 reflect the coincidence of two invoice periods in the one Quarter.
During this Fourth Quarter old Loans Payable of $109,399 were written off to the Consolidated Statement of loss and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The March, 2012 three Months’ Quarterly Revenue of $1,750 are from the one Asian client. The loss increase is a reflection of increased foreign exchange costs, interest costs, and the increase in the Preferred Share Dividend cost.
The June 30, 2012 three Months’ Quarterly Revenue of $nil is directly the result of the one client retiring the airplane on which the Sky Play games were installed.
The September 30, 2012 three Months’ Quarterly Revenue remained at $nil. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the Research expense was incurred in the research and initial due diligence efforts for a potential new business project.
