(the "Company") was formed in 1981 and was dormant from 1984 to November, 1994. In December, 1994, the Company acquired Monitored Investment, Inc., and Affiliates (Monitored Investment, Inc., Red River Bingo, Inc., Tupelo Industries, Inc., and Meridian Enterprises, Inc., hereinafter referred to collectively as "Monitored"). Monitored's principal operations consist of developing, managing and operating charity bingo entertainment centers. Monitored is a commercial lessor of bingo facilities to charity lessees which utilize bingo events as a means of fund raising. The stockholders of Monitored became the controlling stockholders of the consolidated company in a "reverse acquisition", whereby each of the corporations comprising Monitored became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. As a result, the merger was accounted for as an "equity restructuring" of Company. On September 29, 1999, the shareholders of Bingo & Gaming International, Inc. voted to change the name of the company to BGI, Incorporated to more accurately reflect its business operations. In May, 1996, the Company began distributing the Lucky Shamrock Emergency Phone Card Dispenser, under an exclusive agreement with Diamond Game Enterprises. This agreement was terminated by the mutual consent of the parties in October 1997. In October 1997, PrePaid Plus, Inc. ("PPI"), a Texas corporation, was acquired under the purchase method. PPI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. PPI was formed for the purpose of transacting the prepaid telephone card dispenser operations. PPI began distributing and selling the Lucky Strike Phone Card Dispenser, a video enhanced prepaid phone card dispenser, under an exclusive distribution agreement for five years with two successive five year options to renew with Cyberdyne Systems, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. INVENTORIES: Inventories, which consist of phone cards, prepaid vending machines, and small equipment are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents consist primarily of funds invested in short-term interest-bearing accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Organizational costs and intangible assets include significant expenses of bringing new locations into operation and the cost of a noncompete agreement. Organizational costs are amortized over periods of not more than five years and the cost of the noncompete agreement is being amortized over five years. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. For financial statement purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over 4 BGI, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 NOTE 1 - CONTINUED - --------------------- the shorter of the term of the related lease or the useful life of the leasehold improvements. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of betterments and renewals are capitalized. Gains or losses upon disposal of assets are recognized in the period during which the transaction occurs. TAXES ON INCOME: The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than possible enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates. The Company provides a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to the extent that management estimates that it is not "more likely than not" that such deferred tax assets will be realized. REVENUE RECOGNITION: Phone card and machine sales as well as rental income are recognized when earned. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on periodic review of the accounts. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS. ------------------------------------------------------------------- PLAN OF OPERATION - ------------------- In October 1997, the Company executed an exclusive distribution agreement with Cyberdyne Systems, Inc. to distribute the Lucky Strike Prepaid Phone Card Dispenser (Lucky Strike machines or the machine). This agreement provides for the Company to have the exclusive distribution rights for North America for five years with two five year options. As of November 12, 1999, the Company has distributors or company owned dispensers located in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Illinois, Idaho, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, California, and Kansas. The Company's principal objective is to sell an increasing number of phone cards through Lucky Strike machines. This objective is accomplished by increasing the number of machines placed in locations that will sell the greatest volume of the sweepstakes enhanced phone cards. Generally, the company owned machines produce greater sales volumes in company operated routes where machines are more geographically concentrated. However, company owned machines are also placed in locations where it is more advantageous for the machine to be operated by a distributor. The sales production of locations varies. Whether the machines are company owned and operated, company owned and distributor operated, or distributor owned and operated, the Company continuously evaluates the sales production of the machines. If production in a particular location is not adequate, the machine is relocated. During the latter part of 1998, one of the larger distributors was not producing adequate sales or handling its financial obligations satisfactorily. On August 1, 1999, the Company executed an agreement to directly purchase the operations of the distributor for $221,169 in shares of its common stock and commenced to operate the machines in that territory directly. In August 1999, the Company executed an agreement with Multimedia Games, Inc. (MGAM) to develop and host a website to sell phone cards employing a virtual machine. It is expected that the site will sell, through the virtual machine, the same sweepstakes enhanced phone cards that are available to a customer purchasing from the actual Lucky Strike machines. The site is expected to be fully operational in early 2000. The Company's primary focus for the next quarter is twofold. First, 100% of the company owned machines will be placed in production. Second, the program of upgrading machine locations implemented in January 1999 will continue and is a contributing factor to the increase in net phone card sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. However, the rate of growth will depend on the availability of either borrowing or leasing opportunities for the Company as well as the number of dispensers that can be sold to retail operators. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ----------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Total revenues increased by 7% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same three month period for 1998. This was the result of a 19% increase in phone card sales which was partially offset by decreases in dispenser sales and bingo hall rental income. The decrease in machine sales was considered to have been a normal fluctuation. The decrease in bingo hall rental income was the result of continuing regulatory pressure to reduce rents by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. 6 The total cost of revenues represent expenses directly related to the operations of the phone card dispensers and bingo facilities. Such costs as a function of total sales has decreased by 12% which included a decrease in sweepstakes prizes paid due to a change in the mix of route operated company owned machines. Additionally, long distance costs decreased by 9% during this period resulting from unit cost savings and changes in usage patterns. Operating expenses represent expenses indirectly related to the operations of the phone card dispensers and the bingo halls. Such costs decreased by 76.9% principally due to improved credit and collection efforts in the Oklahoma territory and the resulting improved bad debt experience. Salaries increased by 42.5%. This was principally the result of hiring a chief financial officer in October 1998, an increase in the number of support staff positions, and increases in other salaries. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by 4.6% during three month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the similar period in 1998. This reduction is primarily due to cost savings in accounting fees. As the result of the above, the Company's net income increased by $211,810 to a net income of $51,188 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from a net loss of $160,622 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Due to a federal income tax net operating loss carryforward, no provision for federal income tax was required. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 The Company experienced an increase of 24.4% in total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 over the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily due to a 24.8% increase in phone card sales. Increased machine sales were offset by a decrease in bingo hall rental income. The increase in machine sales is the result of opening additional territories to distributors. The decrease in bingo hall income was the result of continuing regulatory pressure, by the Mississippi Gaming Commission, to reduce the rent paid by the charity operators. The cost of revenues represent expenses directly attributable to the operations of the phone card dispensers and bingo facilities. These costs increased by 48.5%, and the resulting gross margin decreased to 35.0% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 45.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This significant increase in the total cost of revenue and decrease in gross margin was principally the result of having operated with the sweepstakes payout rates set at a higher experimental level for the first six months ended June 30, 1999. They were reset to more profitable levels during the three months ended September 30, 1999. Operating expenses include expenses indirectly related to the operations of the machines and the bingo halls. These costs decreased by 48.29%, principally as a result of an improved bad debt experience as improved credit and collection procedures with respect to distributors were initiated during 1999. Salaries increased by 58.1% as the result of hiring a chief financial officer in October 1998 as well as increases in the number of support staff positions and some increase in other salaries. Other general and administrative expense increased by 4.4% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 as the result of additional expenses required to support the increased level of revenue producing activities. As a result of all of the above, the Company's net income decreased by $144,418, to a net income of $189,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from a net income of $334,260 for the comparable period ended September 30, 1998. This decrease is primarily a function of deploying 55% of the company owned machines in Oklahoma during the first six months of 1998. The majority of the Oklahoma placements were in native American charitable gaming facilities that began to place large quantities of other devices offering cash prizes in the early part of the third quarter of 1998. The unusual competitive environment in these facilities had a negative impact on the sales volume of the phone cards as reflected in the loss for the three month period ended September 1998. 7 LIQUIDITY - --------- The Company's cash inflows from operating activities increased by 103.9%, to $410,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $201,229 for the nine months ended September 30,1998. Cash outflows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $470,233, with $423,237 of that amount reducing debt and capital lease obligations as the Company's stockholders' equity increased to 45% of total assets at September 30, 1999 from 25.3% of total assets at December 31, 1998. The Company has a need for additional working capital to meet contractual obligations. Management believes that revenues from the existing machines owned by the Company will be sufficient to produce the necessary working capital to meet its working capital requirements. However, there is no assurance that such revenues will materialize. 8 PART II-OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. ------------------- In 1998, the Mississippi Gaming Commission rendered a decision to reject an appraisal on the fair market value of rents charged at the Tupelo bingo facility. A permanent injunction was obtained in Hinds County Chancery Court (98-CA-01198-SCT) requiring the Gaming Commission to renew the Company's license to operate as a lessor. The Commission was ordered to accept the two appraisals already submitted and received a contempt of court citation. The Commission issued a license renewal for the Iuka location and appealed the injunction on the license renewal for the Tupelo location. The Court of Appeals of the State of Mississippi ruled in favor of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, but prior to this, the Mississippi Supreme Court had ruled in favor of Tupelo Industries. Tupelo Industries has filed a motion for a rehearing on the Court of Appeals ruling. In addition, the Commission declined to renew a third facility license for the Meridian location, but the facility has continued to operate pending the results of a hearing whose date has yet to be determined. Finally, the Commission has denied a renewal application for the charitable lessee of the Iuka facility. One year passed without a hearing and a new renewal application was required. The charitable organization was granted a 90 day license. Legislation (HB977) passed in the most recent session of the Mississippi Legislature eliminated the licensing requirement for commercial lessors; thereby, making the dispute over the licensing of the Meridian facility a moot point.

OTHER INFORMATION. ------------------- The Company is currently evaluating its computer systems to determine whether modifications and expenditures will be necessary to make its systems and those of its vendors compliant with year 2000 requirements. These requirements have arisen due to the widespread use of computer programs that rely on two-digit date codes to perform computations or decision-making functions. Many of these programs may fail as a result of their inability to properly interpret date codes beginning January 1, 2000. For example, such programs may interpret "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. In addition, some equipment, being controlled by microprocessor chips, may not deal appropriately with the year "00". The Company believes it will timely meet its year 2000 compliance requirements and does not anticipate that the cost of compliance will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that all necessary modifications will be identified and corrected or that unforseen difficulties or costs will not arise. In addition, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be modified on a timely basis, or that the failure by another company to properly modify its systems will not negatively impact the Company's systems or operations.
