INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bingo.com, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bingo.com, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Bingo.com, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, were audited by other auditors whose reports dated March 15, 2002, except for Note 3, as to which the date is April 10, 2003, and May 3, 2001, respectively, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2002 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bingo.com, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has continued to incur operating losses, has used, rather than provided, cash from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $9,174,243. These factors, and others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue operations is subject to its ability to secure additional capital to meet its obligations and to fund operations. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

In our opinion, the restated consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bingo.com, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, certain errors resulting in an overstatement of the debenture payable in the amount of $462,673, understatement of additional paid-in-capital in the amount of $539,036, and understatement of net loss by $76,363 as of December 31, 2001, were discovered by management of the Company subsequent to the issuance of our report on those financial statements dated March 15, 2002. Accordingly, the accompanying 2001 financial statements have been restated to correct the errors.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company has continued to incur operating losses, has used, rather than provided, cash from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $6,250,335. Continued losses are projected for at least the next 8 months. These factors, and others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BINGO.COM, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 (Restated) and 2000
1. Introduction:
Nature of business
Bingo.com, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 12, 1987, under the laws of the State of Florida as Progressive General Lumber Corp. On January 22, 1999, the Company changed its name to Bingo.com, Inc. The Company is in the business of providing games and entertainment based on the game of bingo through its Internet portal, www.bingo.com.
Continuing operations
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing. The Company has reported losses and incurred negative cash flow from operations in the last three years, and has an accumulated deficit of $9,174,243 at December 31, 2002. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has utilized substantially all of its available funding.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts and settlement of the liability amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company's financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company's obligations. If management is unable to identify sources of additional cash flow in the short term, it may be required to further reduce or limit operations.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies:
(a) Basis of presentation:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bingo.com (Canada) Enterprises Inc., Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp and the 99% owned subsidiary, of Bingo.com (UK) plc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(b) Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and recognized revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the valuation of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and the valuation of future deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
(c) Revenue recognition:
(i) Advertising revenue:
During the year ended December 31, 2001, revenue related to advertising sold by the Company's sales force has been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website, when the service is delivered.
Effective September 1, 2001, the Company contracted with an Internet marketing company to sell advertising on its website directly to corporate customers or through advertising agencies. The Company received a minimum monthly fee of $112,000 in connection with this contract and the minimum fee was recognized as revenue on a monthly basis.
This agreement was cancelled effective January 31, 2002. Between the end of January 2002 and May 21, 2002, the Company and Internet marketing company operated under the terms of a verbal arrangement. This verbal arrangement was terminated effective May 21, 2002. Under the terms of the verbal arrangement, the Internet marketing company provided website management, marketing and Internet advertising services for the Company in exchange for a commission equal to 50% of the revenue generated by the Company's www.bingo.com web portal. Advertising revenues have been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks that were made on the website.
Since May 21, 2002 the Company has managed its own sales of advertising, website hosting and ad serving. Advertising revenues have been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.
(ii) Barter revenue:
In 2000, the Company adopted EITF No. 99-17 "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions". EITF 99-17 provides that the Company recognize revenue and advertising expenses from barter transactions at the fair value only when it has a historical practice of receiving or paying cash for similar transactions.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(c) Revenue recognition: (Continued)
The Company bartered portions of the unsold advertising impressions generated by its website for advertising in media properties owned by third parties. The Company recorded revenues and costs for such barter transactions, with no net income or loss recognized. Barter revenue was $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 (2001 - $371,566, 2000 - $299,480).
(d) Foreign currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" ("SFAS 52"). Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.
The functional currency of the Company's wholly-owned Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar and British Pound Sterling respectively. These financial statements are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities. Exchange gains and losses arising on this translation are excluded from the determination of income and are reported as the foreign currency translation adjustment in stockholders' equity and included in other comprehensive loss.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all short-term investments with a term to maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(f) Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. It consists of products, such as t-shirts, to sell from our online store.

2. Significant accounting policies (Continued):
(g) Equipment:
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided for annually over the following periods :
Equipment and computers 3 years
Website and software development 3 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
The Company has adopted Statement of Position 98-1 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). Under SOP 98-1, computer software costs incurred in the preliminary development stage are expensed as incurred. Computer software costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the software's estimated useful life. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs during the year ended December 31, 2002 (2001 - $188,348).
The Company has adopted EITF 00-2 "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs". EITF 00-2 provides guidance on how an entity should account for costs involved in such areas as planning, developing software to operate the website, graphics, content, and operating expenses. EITF 00-2 is effective for website development costs incurred for fiscal quarters beginning after June 30, 2000. The Company adopted EITF 00-2 in 2000, and all website development costs for periods subsequent to June 30, 2000, have been expensed as operating costs. No website development costs were capitalized for the periods ending December 31, 2002 or 2001.
(h) Advertising:
The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period in which the advertising space or airtime is used. Advertising costs charged to selling and marketing expenses in 2002 totaled $2,000 (2001 - $6,258, 2000 - $44,558).
(i) Stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. This practice is allowed under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. As such, compensation expense under fixed term option plans is recorded at the date of grant only to the extent that the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant exceeds the exercise price. In accordance with SFAS 123, since the Company has continued to apply the principles of APB 25 to employee stock compensation, pro forma loss and pro forma loss per share information has been presented as if the options had been valued at their fair values. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options, common stock and other equity instruments issued to non-employees for services received based upon the fair value of the services or equity instruments issued, whichever is more

reliably determined. Stock compensation expense is recognized as the stock option is earned, which is generally over the vesting period of the underlying option.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." The Company adopted FIN 44, effective July 1, 2000, with respect to certain provisions applicable to new awards, options repricings, and changes in grantee status. FIN 44 addresses practice issues related to the application of APB 25. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". The measurement date used is the earlier of either the performance commitment date or the date at which the equity instrument holder's performance is complete.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans, consistent with the measurement provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and basic loss per share would have been adjusted as follows:

2. Significant accounting policies (Continued):
(j) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" and SFAS No. 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". At December 31, 2002, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheet are equipment and domain name rights. These provisions require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.
(k) Comprehensive income:
Comprehensive income consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments that are separately presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity (deficiency).
(l) Income taxes:
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered and settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for future tax assets when it is not more likely than not that such future tax assets will be realized.
(m) Net loss per share:
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants and convertible debt, outstanding during the period. As the Company has a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss

per share is the same, as any exercise of the share purchase options or conversion of the convertible debenture outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
(n) Domain name:
The Company has capitalized the cost of the purchase of the domain name Bingo.com and was amortizing the cost over five years from the date of commencement of operations. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name cost in accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", where companies are no longer required to amortize indefinite assets but instead test the indefinite intangible asset for impairment at least annually. The capitalized amount is based on the net present value of the minimum payments permitted under the terms of the purchase agreement. The domain name was tested for impairment by comparing the future cash flows of the domain name with its carrying value. The Company determined that no impairment existed.
(o) Business Combinations:
In June, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved the issuance of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 states that all business combinations should be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
(p) New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities " (SFAS 146), which addresses financial accounting and reporting associated with certain exit or disposal activities. Under SFAS 146, costs associated with certain exit or disposal activities shall be recognized and measured at their fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 146 for all exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this interpretation is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, " Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtness of Others" (FIN 45). Fin 45 provides guidance on the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued and also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of

(p) New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and its recognition requirements are applicable for guarantees. The adoption of this interpretation is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement amends SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for companies that voluntarily change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure requirements of this statement are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 146, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). Fin 46 requires a company to consolidate any variable interest entities for which that company has a controlling financial interest. Fin 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that the company is not required to consolidate, but which it has a significant variable interest. The Company is required to adopt the consolidation requirements of FIN 46 for variable interest entities created after January 2003. The adoption of this interpretation is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
(q) Financial Instruments
(i) Fair values:
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The financial statement carrying amount of the debentures payable at December 31, 2002, reflects the market value to the Company for the debt.
(ii) Foreign Currency risk:
The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has not entered into any forward exchange contracts or other derivative instrument to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

(r) Reclassification
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.
3. Prior Period Adjustment:
Debenture "A"
On April 16, 2001, the Company received a loan from, and issued a secured convertible Debenture "A" to, Redruth Ventures Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, for $750,000, and to Bingo, Inc., an Anguilla corporation, for $500,000 (collectively, "the Lenders"). A current director and officer of the Company, is the potential beneficiary of various discretionary trusts that hold approximately 80% of the shares of Bingo, Inc.
The Lenders received a total of 12,000,000 common stock purchase warrants, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Debenture "A" are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of the Debenture "A". The Company did not account for the value of the warrants upon issuance of the Debenture "A" in accordance with APB 14 "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants". Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the warrants have an estimated value of $898,394, using the following assumptions: no annual dividend, volatility of 137%, risk-free interest rate of 5.17% and a term of three years. Due to the illiquidity of the Company's shares, a block discount of 40% ($359,357) was applied to this value providing a warrant debenture discount of $539,036.
The Company has restated the comparative prior periods presented in the December 31, 2002 consolidated statements of operations to reflect additional interest expense for the full discounted value of the warrants in the amount of $539,036, which will be amortized to interest expense over the next five years.
The total effect of the restatement was to increase interest expense by $76,363, increase debenture discount by $462,673 and additional paid-in capital by $539,036 for the year ended December 31, 2001, increasing the net loss for the year from $1,878,837 to $1,955,200 and accumulated net deficit from $8,129,172 to $8,205,535. The interest expense and additional paid-in capital accounts in the comparative prior periods balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of changes in stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows have been restated for the effects of the adjustments.

5. Domain name rights and contract payable:
The rights to use the domain name bingo.com were acquired in January of 1999 for a cash payment of $200,000 and the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a deemed value of $2.00 per share. The agreement was signed with Bingo, Inc., an unrelated party at the date of signing of the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make quarterly domain name purchase payments to the vendor based on 4% of annual gross revenue (as defined in the agreement), with total minimum payments of $1,100,000 in the first three years, including the initial cash payment, required over the 99 year period ended December 31, 2098. These minimum payments commitments were completed on June 30, 2002.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the agreement was amended so that the remaining domain name purchase payments to the vendor are made monthly, based on 4% of the preceding month's gross revenue.
Domain name rights have been capitalized on the balance sheet based on the present value of the future minimum royalty payments. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name in accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", where companies are no longer permitted to amortize indefinite assets.
Capitalized domain name rights are $1,257,241 at December 31, 2002 (2001 - $1,257,241). As per SFAS 142 there is no accumulated amortization for the year ended December 31, 2002. (2001 - $677,259). Payments made relating to this contract totaled $196,795 during the year ended December 31, 2002 (2001 - $361,869), of which $185,000 related to the final payment made in accordance with the agreement for the minimum guaranteed domain name purchase payments of the domain name rights and the remaining $12,023 related to payments based on the continuing 4% of the proceeding months gross revenue as defined in the amended agreement.

7. Debenture payable:
Debenture "A"
On April 16, 2001, the Company received a loan and issued a secured convertible Debenture "A" for $1,250,000. Bingo, Inc has subsequently acquired Debenture "A" in its entirety. Under the terms of the Debenture "A" interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of Debenture "A" at the rate of 12% per annum from the issuance date through April 16, 2003, at which time the interest will become payable. Thereafter, interest shall accrue and be payable on the first business day of each succeeding quarter through and including April 16, 2006. All principal, accrued but unpaid interest, and any other amounts are payable at maturity on April 16, 2006.
The Company has the option to pay all accrued interest in cash, common stock of the Company, or a combination of both cash and common stock. Any amounts remaining unpaid on the Debenture "A" on the maturity date, whether principal, interest or other amounts due, shall be paid in full in cash on such date. Any common stock of the Company delivered to the Holders in payment of the Debenture "A" will be valued at $0.25 per share.
The Holders of the Debenture "A" have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture "A" into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.125 per share until the third anniversary date of the Debenture "A". The common stock that would be issued upon conversion of the Debenture "A" will be subject to certain resale restrictions, as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933 (the "Exchange Act"). The Debenture "A" is secured by all assets of the Company.
The Holders of the Debenture "A" received a total of 12,000,000 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Debenture "A" are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of the Debenture "A".
The discounted value of the warrants will be amortized to interest expense over the next five years. The total effect of the issuance of the warrants relating to Debenture "A" was to increase interest expense by $107,807 for the year ended December 31, 2002. (2001 - $76,363)
Effective as at the end of business on May 21, 2002, a debenture holder agreed to surrender for cancellation all of the 7,200,000 Warrants issued to them in connection with Debenture "A", in exchange for unused advertising inventory on the bingo.com website.
As of the date of this report, none of the Warrants have been exercised, and with the surrender for cancellation of all of the 7,200,000 warrants issued to a debenture holder, there remains 4,800,000 warrants outstanding under this Debenture "A".

7. Debenture payable: (Continued)
Debenture "B"
On July 2, 2002 the Company issued a convertible debenture for $145,000 of which $50,000 was received from Bingo, Inc.
Under the terms of Debenture "B", interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount of Debenture "B" at the rate of 12% per annum through July 2, 2004, at which time the interest will become payable. Thereafter, interest shall accrue and be payable on the first business day of each succeeding quarter through and including July 2, 2006. All principal, accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due, are due and payable at maturity on July 2, 2006.
The Company has the option to pay all accrued interest in cash, common stock of the Company, or a combination of both cash and common stock. Any amounts remaining unpaid on the Debenture "B" at the maturity date, whether principal, interest or other amounts due, shall be paid in full in cash on such date. Any common stock of the Company delivered to the holders of Debenture "B" in payment of Debenture "B" will be valued at $0.25 per share.

The holders of the Debenture "B" received a total of 580,000 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Debenture "B" are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of Debenture "B". Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants have an estimated value of $34,038, using the following assumptions: no annual dividend, volatility of 161%, risk-free interest rate of 1.72% and a term of three years. . Due to the illiquidity of the Company's shares, a block discount of 40% ($13,615) was applied to this value providing a warrant debenture discount of $20,423.
The estimated discount value of the warrants will be amortized to interest expense over the next four years. Bingo, Inc. has the potential to become the largest single shareholder and a majority shareholder in the Company should Bingo, Inc. elect to convert any or all of the principal amount of Debenture "A" and its share of Debenture "B" into shares of the Company's common stock, or if the Company elects to repay the principal amount outstanding, and any accrued interest, in shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the terms of Debenture "A" and Debenture "B".

(c) Warrants:
Warrant "A"
During 2001, the Company issued a total of 12,000,000 stock purchase warrants in connection with the Debenture "A" financing described in note 8. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase 1 common share at a price of $0.25 per share for a three year period from the date of issuance. The warrants expire on April 16, 2004. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants have an estimated value of $539,036, using the following assumptions: no annual dividend, volatility of 137%, risk-free interest rate of 5.17% and a term of three years. Due to the illiquidity of the Company's shares, a block discount of 40% ($359,357) was applied to this value providing a warrant debenture discount of $539,036.
As of the date of this report, none of the Warrants have been exercised, and with the surrender for cancellation of all of the 7,200,000 warrants issued to Redruth Ventures Inc., there remains 4,800,000 Warrants outstanding under this debenture.

Each warrant allows the holder to purchase 1 common share at a price of $0.25 per share for a three year period from the date of issuance. The warrants expire on July 2, 2005. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants have an estimated value of $34,038, using the following assumptions: no annual dividend, volatility of 161%, risk-free interest rate of 1.72% and a term of three years. Due to the illiquidity of the Company's shares, a block discount of 40% ($13,615) was applied to this value providing a warrant debenture discount of $20,423.

10. Income taxes:
Income tax benefit attributable to losses from United States of America operations was $nil for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States of America federal income tax rate of 34 percent to pretax losses from operations as a result of the following:
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the future tax assets and future tax liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are presented below:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, was $3,346,803 and $2,993,179, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, was an increase of $329,360 and $664,768, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset attributable to net operating loss carryforwards, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $9,500,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards, which begin expiring in 2014.
11. Discontinued operations:
In January 2000, the Company announced that it had discontinued and wound-up its Antigua based Internet gaming operations. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, were adjusted to include the effects of reclassification of the discontinued operation. In addition, the Company recorded a provision of $60,000 for on-going costs associated with

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On March 26, 2003, the Board of Directors of Bingo.com, Inc. (the "Company") approved the appointment of Dohan & Company, CPA's, P.A., . ("Dohan") of Miami, Florida, as our new independent auditors effective March 27, 2003 and the termination of Davidson & Company ("Davidson") as the principal accountant engaged to audit the Company's financial statements. The change in the Company's certifying accountant was due to the Company requiring a United States registered accountant is needed to audit our financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2001 and from the date of appointment of Davidson as the Company's independent accountant on August 7, 2001 and through the date of this report, (i) there were no "reportable events," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, and (ii) we did not and nobody on our behalf has consulted Dohan regarding any of the accounting and auditing matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The report of Davidson on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The change of Davidson was effective as of March 27, 2003, was approved by our directors, and was not due to any disagreement between us and Davidson.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, and from the date of appointment of Davidson as the Company's independent accountant on August 7, 2001, and the subsequent interim periods preceding Davidson's dismissal, there were no disagreements with Davidson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Davidson's, would have caused Davidson to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. We have authorized Davidson to respond fully to any subject matter with respect to our financial statements.
We have not been advised by Davidson of any of the following:
a) lack of internal controls necessary for us to develop reliable financial statements;
b) any information that has come to the attention of our independent accountants that has lead them to no longer rely on management's representations or that has made them unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management;
c) any need to expand significantly the scope of their audit or information that has come to their attention during the fiscal years prior to and preceding the change in independent accountants that, if further investigated, would:
(i) materially impact the fairness or reliability of the previously issued independent accountants' report or the financial statements issued or covering such period; or
(ii) cause Davidson to become unwilling to rely on management's representations or that has made them unwilling to be associated with our financial statements, or due to the dismissal of Davidson or any other reason, Davidson did not so expand the scope of the audit or conduct such further investigation; or
60
d) any information that has come to the attention of Davidson that has lead them to conclude that such information materially impacts the fairness or reliability of the audit reports or the financial statements issued covering the two fiscal years prior to and preceding the change in the independent accountants (including information that, unless resolved, to the satisfaction of such independent accountant, would prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial statements ) and due to the dismissal of Davidson or any other reason, any issue has not been resolved to such independent accountants satisfaction prior to the dismissal of Davidson.
The Company provided Davidson with a copy of the letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"). prior to filing it with the Commission. The Company requested that Davidson furnish the Company with a letter to the Commission stating whether Davidson agrees with the foregoing disclosure. On August 7, 2001, Grant Thornton LLP, ("Grant Thornton") the Company's former principal accountants previously engaged to audit the Company's financial statements were dismissed, which lead to the appointment of Davidson as principal accountants to replace Grant Thornton. This change was made in connection with the relocation of the Company's executive offices to Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company's board of directors approved the engagement of Davidson.
The audit report of Grant Thornton on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except such report was modified to include an explanatory paragraph for a going concern uncertainty. The change of Grant Thornton was effective as of August 7, 2001, was approved by our directors, and was not due to any disagreement between Grant Thornton and us.
In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, including the subsequent interim periods prior to August 7, 2001, the date of Grant Thornton's termination, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Davidson's, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, and from the date of appointment of Grant Thornton as the Company's independent accountant on July 24, 2000, and the subsequent interim periods preceding Grant Thornton's dismissal, the Company (or anyone on its behalf) did not consult with Davidson regarding any of the accounting or auditing concerns stated in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-B. Since there were no disagreements or reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-B), the Company did not consult Davidson in respect to these matters during the time periods detailed.
