Item 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
General
- -------
The Company currently derives its revenues principally from its Internet
web sites namely Sizzle and Chisel. Through substantial research and
exploration, the Company has identified the opportunity of offering gaming
services over the Internet and has successfully launched its gaming
products in fiscal 1998. The Company's Internet casino, which targets only
customers outside North America, is operated by its subsidiary, World
Gaming Services Inc, in Antigua. Softec System Caribbean Inc., the
Company's other Antigua subsidiary, licenses its gaming product to third
parties for a set up fee and monthly royalty.
The following tables set forth statements of operations data for the three
months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 and balance sheet data as at July 31,
1998 and April 30, 1998.

The Company's revenues increased 116.7% to $1,537,259 for the three months
ended July 31, 1998 compared to $709,337 for the prior year quarter. The
growth is primarily due to additional revenues generated from the licensing
and gaming operations and increased subscription revenue from the Company's
Internet web sites. Revenues from licensing, which is expected to become a
major income source, account for more than 30% of total revenue for the
quarter ended July 30, 1998. Along with the growth in sales, gross margin
increased to $962,219 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 from
$383,958 for the year ended July 31, 1997. Gross margin was increased from
54.1% for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 to 62.6% for the quarter ended
July 31, 1998 due to the relatively higher gross margin of the gaming
operations and efficiencies gained from having a larger number of
membership.
Operating expenses increased by 79.8% to $839,451 (54.6% of sales) for the
three months ended July 31, 1998 from $466,808 (65.8% of sales) for the
prior year quarter. The decease in these expenses from 65.8% to 54.6% was
the result of efficiencies gained as the Company handled a greater level of
activity.
Interest expense increased to $20,253 for the three months ended July 31,
1998 from $13,380 for the prior year quarter. The increase was mainly
resulted from interest cost due to bank borrowing and additional equipment
leases obtained.
Net income from operations for the three months ended July 31, 1998 was
$122,769 compared to net operating loss of $82,850 for the prior year
quarter. The income for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was the result of
increase in revenues from software licensing and gaming operations.

compared to $140,462 at April 30, 1998. The Company has pledged cash
equivalents of $500,000 to its bank to secure the banking facilities.
Net cash from operations for the three months ended July 31, 1998 increased
to $691,379 from $106,921 for the three months ended July 31, 1997. The
increase in cashflow from operations is mainly due to increase in revenues
and customers' deposit received by the Company.
Net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended July 31,
1998 was $387,749 compared to $266,960 for the three months ended July 31,
1997. The increase was resulted from higher level of investment in security
deposit and software development costs.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the three months
ended July 31, 1998 was ($69,952) compared to $180,329 for the three months
ended July 31, 1997. The increase is resulted from reduction in borrowings
due to improvement in cash position.
