(903) (1,919) (4,754) (16,662) SELECTED BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 -------- -------- Working Capital .................................. $ (5,782) $ (2,426) Total Assets ..................................... 7,475 12,181 Long Term Debt (current and long-term portion) .. 1,330 1,083 Accumulated Deficit .............................. (26,117) (21,363) Total Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) ............. (2,999) 1,686 Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $3,558 compared to $3,300 for the same period last year, representing an increase of 8 per cent. Year-to date, revenues decreased 8 per cent to $10,734 compared to $11,669 for the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $903 or $0.03 per share compared to a net loss of $1,919 or $0.06 per share for the corresponding period last year. Year-to-date, net loss was $4,754 or $0.14 per share compared to a net loss of $16,662 or $0.51 per share for the same period last year. The Company experienced a 25 per cent increase in royalty revenues during the quarter and 5 per cent year-to-date largely due to an increase in wagering activity experienced by our licensees. During the quarter, casino and sportsbook wagering increased by 33 per cent to $774,000 from $581,000. The lower wagering activity in the same period last year was partially as a result of the cancellation of national sporting events at all levels across North America during the month of September, typically the strongest month of the quarter as a result of the events of September 11, 2001. Transaction processing related revenues was down 71 per cent and 65 per cent for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002 to $174 and $862 from $601 and $2,478 as an increasing number of licensees have assumed their own merchant processing responsibilities. Licensing revenue increased 33 per cent for the quarter primarily as a result of the launch of a new licensee. Year-to-date, licensing revenue increased 98 per cent to $658 from $333 in the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to gaming revenue generated from the Company's new gaming jurisdiction and the launch of three new licensees. 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (All figures in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) Gross margins were 90 per cent and 88 per cent respectively in the quarter and year-to-date compared to 76 per cent and 70 per cent in the prior year, reflecting a more profitable revenue mix. The reduction of revenues from transaction processing and reselling of gaming licenses played a role in improving our gross margins as these revenue sources have historically been low margin revenue. Operating expenses decreased 13 per cent to $3,989 during the quarter compared to $4,579 for the same period last year and 25 per cent compared to the previous quarter. Year-to-date, operating expenses decreased 43 per cent to $14,211 compared to $24,821 in the same period last year. The decrease in the Company's expenses during the quarter is primarily due to the termination of the Company's direct sales force as a result of a refocusing of the Company's resources on its existing licensee base and product development. The Company believes that this will result in enhanced growth in royalty revenue while significantly lowering operating expenses. As well, during the quarter the Company began to realize on cost savings resulting from its restructuring exercise in the previous quarters primarily in the areas of corporate, and sales and marketing spending. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the operating expenses included year end adjustments for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001. For additional discussions related to these adjustments, please refer to the 20-F document for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2002, the Company had $985 in cash and cash equivalents down from $2,206 at December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the use of cash in operations resulting from a year-to-date net cash loss. Cash was also used to purchase new capital assets of $670 and make capital lease payments of $422. In August 2002, the Company obtained debt financing of $1,500 of which $1,250 had been advanced through September 30, 2002. Working capital deficit at September 30, 2002 increased to $ (5,782) from $ (2,426) at December 31, 2001. Included in working capital is $1,200 related to the anticipated settlement of the class action lawsuit. This is calculated as the value of shares expected to be issued for settlement of the suit and no cash is anticipated to be paid to cover this matter (See Note 3 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company also has reserves held by credit card processors totaling $747. These funds are held as rolling reserves and are typically released to the Company after six months. Accounts receivable decreased slightly from $2,591 at December 31, 2001 to $2,297 at September 30, 2002. Accounts receivable is comprised of royalty and transaction fees due from operating licensees that have their own merchant accounts and from new licensees that were offered an installment payment plan on the initial licensing fees. Royalty and transaction fees due from operating licensees are usually collected prior to the end of the following month. Licensing fees are usually collected in full prior to recognition of the revenue. At September 30, 2002, accounts receivable consisted primarily of royalty and transaction fees due from operating licensees. Prepaid expenses and deposits decreased by $52 to $386 at September 30, 2002 compared to $438 at December 31, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in prepaid legal and insurance costs. Other current assets decreased by $10 to $199 at September 30, 2002 as compared to $209 at December 31, 2001. Year to date deferred financing costs of $180 were fully expensed as the 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (All figures in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) Company's financing program was terminated in July 2002. This decrease was offset by gaming license costs incurred during the year in the Company's new gaming jurisdiction. Other current assets are comprised primarily of deferred financing costs related to the Company's current financing effort and deferring costs associated with establishing a new gaming jurisdiction. Deferred revenue which relates to amounts collected from new licensees not yet live at the end of the month, decreased to $131 at September 30, 2002 from $260 at December 31, 2001. At September 30, 2002, there were a number of new licensees waiting to go live on our system from whom deposits were previously collected. The decrease is consistent with the discussion on the increase in licensing revenue. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $670 compared to $7,460 generated during the same period last year. During the same period last year, the Canadian authorities released $7,630 of funds previously seized from the Company. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1,497 compared to $258 in the same period last year. The increase in the cash generated was due to $1,250 raised from the $1,500 debt financing discussed above. 4 WORLD GAMING PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001 5 WORLD GAMING PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Consolidated Balance Sheets (In Thousands of U.S. Dollars) ASSETS September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 (Unaudited) ----------- ----------- CURRENT ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents ....................... $ 985 $ 2,206 Reserves and deposits with credit card processors 747 2,532 Accounts receivable, net ........................ 2,297 2,591 Employee loans and advances-current portion ..... 56 68 Prepaid expenses ................................ 386 438 Other current assets ............................ 199 209 ------- ------- Total Current Assets .......................... 4,670 8,044 ------- ------- Capital Assets, net ............................. 2,805 4,133 ------- ------- OTHER ASSETS Employee loans and advances-long term portion ... - 4 ------- ------- Total Other Assets ............................. - 4 ------- ------- TOTAL ASSETS .................................. $ 7,475 $12,181 ======= ======= The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 6 WORLD GAMING PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Consolidated Balance Sheets (Continued) (In Thousands of U.S. Dollars) LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 (Unaudited) ----------- ----------- CURRENT LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued liabilities ........ $ 5,123 $ 5,911 Accrual for legal claims ........................ 1,200 1,200 Funds held on deposit ........................... 1,440 2,041 Deferred revenue ................................ 131 260 Notes payable ................................... 1,250 - Current portion of capital lease obligation ..... 1,308 1,058 ------- ------- Total Current Liabilities ..................... 10,452 10,470 ------- ------- Capital lease obligations, less current maturities . 22 25 ------- ------- Total Liabilities .............................. 10,474 10,495 ------- ------- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) Capital stock authorized 100,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.001 par value; 34,193,181 shares issued and outstanding ........................ 24,188 24,188 Deferred compensation ........................... - (168) Accumulated deficit .............................

NOTE 2 - UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 6-K. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. These consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. NOTE 3 - MATERIAL EVENTS On November 20, 2002, the Company entered into a formal employment agreement with David Craven, its then Chief Executive Officer. The Employment Agreement was for a period of 3 years commencing on July 15, 2002 and provided, among other things, an annual salary of 175 UK Pounds Sterling (approximately $280 US), a monthly car allowance of 1 UK Pounds Sterling (approximately $1.6 US), 25 days annual vacation, medical and life insurance benefits and pension benefits. In addition, the Employment Agreement provided for 100,000 options with an exercise price of $0.20 fully vested 60 days after the date of employment along with an additional 750,000 options to be issued and vested in monthly installments of 33,333 options beginning March 25, 2002 at varying exercise prices. There was also a provision in the Employment Agreement for additional bonus options to be earned based on various performance criteria established by the board of directors. In January 2003, Mr. Craven's employment ceased. On September 9, 2002, an Order and Final Judgment was entered approving the settlement of the class action lawsuit against the Company. Using the formula specified by the Memorandum of Understanding and an effective date of October 10, 2002, the Company is obligated to issue 6,588,226 ADR's (shares). These shares will be issued by the Company pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement. The Company has accrued for the full amount of the settlement as well as additional amounts for administrative and legal expenses. 11 WORLD GAMING PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 NOTE 3 - MATERIAL EVENTS (Continued) During August 2002, the Company signed a loan agreement whereby the Company could borrow up to $1,500. Pursuant the terms of the agreement, the Company has received $1,250. The loan bears interest at the rate of 2% above LIBOR with interest accruing daily. The terms of the agreement call for repayment of 75% of the loan no later than March 31, 2003, with interest accrued to that date and full amount of the loan, and accrued interest, repaid no later than September 30, 2003. The Company signed an employment agreement with a new group finance director in August 2002, providing for annual base compensation of 75 UK Pound Sterling (approximately $113 US) in addition to other normal executive employment benefits. A share option package still remains to be agreed upon by the Board of Directors. In August 2002, the Company moved into new office space in London. The new lease agreement is for a one-year period commencing August 12, 2002 and calls for quarterly lease payments of 5 UK Pound Sterling (approximately $8 US). The agreement also provides the Company with an option to extend for two terms of one year each until August 12, 2006 subject to annual increases in lease payments in line with the UK Retail Price Index. NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated significant losses and has negative working capital. All of these items raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company has implemented measures to greatly reduce operating costs. Among these measures are efforts to eliminate non-value-added expenses through the consolidation of operations at one primary location and a significant reduction in the Company's work force. The Company is also converting its sales staff from a direct sales force to a business development group which will focus primarily on developing the Company's existing client base. The Company expects that growth in revenue from operations will continue to increase. In addition to these measures, the Company intends to continue to seek out additional financing. Accordingly, the Company believes that based on these factors, it has the ability to sustain operations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that these measures of operating revenues will be sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its operations. If the Company's plans are not successful, it will be necessary for the Company to secure additional debt and equity financing which also cannot be assured. 12
