PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Corporate History and Development

Creator Capital Limited (the "Company" or "CCL"), formerly Interactive Entertainment Limited was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia on January 28, 1981 under the name Tu-Tahl Petro Inc. On May 10, 1990, the Company changed its name to Creator Capital Inc. The Company was reincorporated through the continuance of its corporate existence from the Province of British Columbia to the Yukon Territory on July 15, 1992. On January 23, 1995, the Company changed its name to Sky Games International Ltd. ("SGI"). Effective February 22, 1995, the Company continued its corporate existence from the Yukon Territory to Bermuda as an exempted company under the Companies Act 1981 (Bermuda) (the "Bermuda Act"). In June, 1997, the Company changed its name to Interactive Entertainment Limited following consummation of the amalgamation of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, SGI Holding Corporation Limited ("SGIH"), and SGIH's formerly 80% owned subsidiary, then known as Interactive Ent ertainment Limited ("Old IEL"). This was followed immediately by an amalgamation of SGI with the survivor of the first amalgamation (the "Amalgamations"). Pursuant to a Special Resolution passed by shareholders at the September 19, 2000 Annual General Meeting, the Company changed its name to Creator Capital Limited. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" refers to Creator Capital Limited ("CCL"), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IEL (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., Sky Games International Corporation ("SGIC"), and Inflight Interactive Ltd. ("IIL"), Creator Island Equities Inc. ("CIEI"), and for periods prior to June 17, 1997, also SGIH and Old IEL, which was the Company's principal operating subsidiary from December 30, 1994, through such Amalgamations.

IEL (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. was struck off the Singapore Register of Companies, at the Company's request, on September 23, 2000. IIL (UK) was struck off the UK Companies House Register on May 6, 2003 following an application lodged by the Company on December 10, 2002. Currently, CIEI (Canada), SGIC (US), each of which are wholly owned subsidiaries, are considered to be inactive.

The initial purpose of the Company was natural resource exploration and development. Beginning in January 1991 the Company concentrated its efforts on acquiring, developing and commercializing a gaming technology marketed as Sky Games™ for inflight use by international airline passengers and patrons in other non-traditional gaming venues. In pursuit of this purpose, the Company in 1991 acquired the principal assets of Nevada-based Sky Games International, Inc. ("SGII"). In late 1994, the Company formed Old IEL as a joint venture with subsidiaries of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., ("Harrah's"). This resulted in the transfer to Old IEL of the Company's inflight gaming business and the execution of a management agreement with Harrah's with respect to Old IEL and other related relationships. Pursuant to such management agreement, Old IEL's operations were managed by a Harrah's subsidiary. The description herein of the Company's operations from December 30, 1994 through June 17, 1997 with respect to in flight gaming activities refers to the operations of Old IEL under the management of this subsidiary of Harrah's.


Business Overview

1.
  Sky Games

The Sky Games system was developed to introduce gaming to international airline passengers. The system is designed to enable users to play a number of casino-type games from their seats by way of a built-in, color, interactive, in-seat monitor. The Company believed that an opportunity existed to introduce casino games on international air flights. In April of 1996, the Company announced the signing of contracts for the provision of gaming services to Singapore Airlines ("SIA"). The first flight with gaming was launched on June 1, 1998. A second aircraft was added in mid-October, 1998. Passenger participation was disappointing. On November 12, 1998, the Company announced that it had been unable to attract the additional capital necessary for continued development of its Sky Games inflight gaming business. The Company also announced that it had discontinued all operations associated with the Sky Games product line. All employees were terminated as of November 13, 1998. Those former employee s that subsequently had been retained on a part-time contract basis to continue operations and support the Sky Play product, are no longer associated with CCL. Two former employees, through their corporate entity, eFlyte, had been contracted to attend to the Sky Play business. eFlyte terminated its contract with the Company as of April 22, 2001. The technical aspect of the business is now contracted to the Company's current C.T.O.

On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with James P Grymyr, whereby he would provide consulting services to the Company from time to time, as requested by the Company. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company issued 586,077 shares of Common Stock to Mr Grymyr as consideration for all such consulting services, both past and future. During March, 2001, Mr Grymyr informed the Company that he did not provide any consulting services to the Company. Furthermore, he indicated that the agreement was never operational. A review of the Company's records, and conversations with previous management did not reveal any evidence to the contrary. Therefore, Mr Grymyr offered to annul the Consulting Agreement and return the shares to the Company for cancellation. The Company accepted this offer under the terms of the Annulment Agreement dated June 20, 2001. Mr Grymyr has completed his undertakings to the company. The company is in the process of completing the cancellation of the 586 ,077 shares.

  Sky Play

On January 13, 1998, CCL completed the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of Inflight Interactive Limited ("IIL") in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's $.01 par value common stock (the "Common Stock"). IIL is a United Kingdom developer and provider of amusement games to the airline industry. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The games are marketed under the name Sky Play. As at December 31, 2003, the Sky Play games were operating on a number of airlines, including Air China, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Air, Japan Air Lines and Sri Lankan Airways.


3.
  Investment -China Lotteries

On September 22, 2001, the Company entered into an Investment agreement with Trade Watch Consultants Limited (formerly Asset China Investments Ltd.) ("TWC"). TWC holds 70% of the outstanding shares of Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. Beacon Hill holds the license for and operates one of two major Soccer Betting Lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. In exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and an investment of up to HK$1,500.000 (US$ 180,050.00), the Company receives 80% of the proceeds of the business profits generated from Asset China's sports betting and lottery assets. To date, the Company has forwarded HK$900,000.00 (US$115,030.00). To date, no business profits have been generated nor distributed. No further funds will be forwarded and the shares will not be distributed until there are business profits generated and distributed.

On November 1, 2001, the Company entered into an Investment agreement with Lee John Associates ("LJA"). LJA is engaged in the business of owning the licenses for and operating several lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Peoples' Republic of China. In exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, the Company shall receive 80% of the proceeds of the business profits generated from Lee John's Lottery businesses.

As of August 2003, CCL had not yet received any funds under the agreements with TWC and LJA. Therefore, upon detailed re-evaluation and analysis all parties mutually agreed to amend the original agreements. On September 1, 2003, CCL amended these two agreements as described below:

The original agreement with TWC required a total investment of US$180,050.00 (HK$1,500,000) and the issuance of 1,500,000 CCL common shares to TWC. To date, CCL has funded US$115,000.00, but has not issued any common shares. Initially, both TWC and Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. ("BHE"), agreed that TWC's 70% ownership in Beacon Hill would be reduced to 49% (due to the partial completion of the original funding of US$180,050.00). The agreement was then finalized as a Licensing arrangement, whereby the $115,000 advanced was deemed to a one-time, full payment of the license fee to allow TWC to sell lottery tickets through a dedicated Website www.worldwidelotteries-china.com. The 1,500,000 CCL common shares will not be issued as a part of the amended arrangement.

The original agreement with LJA required CCL to issue 500,000 CCL common shares in exchange for 80% of LJA's business profits generated from its seven sales locations within Guangdong Province, in the People's Republic of China. As of September 1, 2003, CCL had not received any funds from LJA, nor had CCL issued the 500,000 common shares. This agreement was cancelled on September 1, 2003.

As of December 31, 2003, CCL had completed the development of the website (www.worldwidelotteries-china.com), which is directed towards the international marketing and sales of the Soccer Betting Lottery. During the 3rd Quarter 2003, approval was obtained and an agreement was reached with a Credit Card Payment processing provider. Subsequently, the provider was unable to provide the required services due to an internal issue. In the 4th Quarter 2003, agreement was reached with NEteller to provide payment processing services.

On September 19, 2003, CCL's wholly owned subsidiary, Trade Watch Consultants Ltd. ("TWC") of the British Virgin Islands, entered into a Licensing Agreement with Action Poker Gaming Inc. ("APG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment. APG provides Gaming Software designed for the on-line gaming industry. TWC's Website www.worldwidegaming-asia.com. will feature Asian Themed games such as "Chinese Poker", "Pan" and "Big 2". A percentage of gaming revenue realized from the Website is payable to Action Poker Gaming Inc. on a monthly basis.

As at December 31, 2003, the Website content and design has not been forwarded to CCL for approval.


The Product

1.
  Sky Play

Sky Play offers airlines the choice of up to 19 amusement games. 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. CCL is upgrading the games currently featured in the Sky Play PC Interactive Games Catalogue so that they will operate on the newer versions of MAS IFE hardware being introduced into the airlines industry. CCL is
also simultaneously in the process of developing several new games for the Sky Play PC Interactive Games Catalogue,

The Industry

The Boeing Company's Current Market Outlook (CMO) for 2003 makes the following observation:
      "The Current Short-Term Cycle is Severe
       "The Airline industry is in the midst of the most serious short-term downturn in modern aviation history.
      World traffic measured in RPKs (Revenue Passenger Kilometres) experienced negative growth in the 2001 and
      no growth in 2002. As 2003 unfolds, geopolitical conflict and the SARS virus continue to negatively impact the
      health of the airline industry. The Boeing Forecast predicts 5% fewer world RPKs will be flown in 2022 than
      there would have been without the current short-term cycle"

       "The Long-Term Forecast Remains Healthy
      In the short term, air travel is influenced by business cycles, consumer confidence, and exogenous events. Over
      the long-term, cycles smooth out and GDP, international trade, lower fares, and network service improvement
      trends become paramount. During the next 20 years, economies will grow annually b y 3.2 %, and air travel
      will continue its historic relationship with GDP by growing at an average annual rate of 5.1%"

Having made that observation, utilizing 2003 as the base year, Boeing is still forecasting passenger traffic growth of 5.1% annually over the next 20 years, an increase of 0.6%. The report noted that, to meet that growth, airlines are expected to add over 24,275 airplanes to their fleets, worth more than $1.9 trillion in 2002 US Dollars for a total worldwide fleet of 34,000 aircraft. Boeing estimates that approximately 26% of these new aircraft will be intermediate (twin-aisle) and large aircraft. However, of that 26%, deliveries of 747-size or larger aircraft will decrease from 7% to 4%, while deliveries of intermediate size (twin-aisle) aircraft will increase from 18% to 22%. CCL believes these forecasts represent a substantial market for IFE systems and inflight content over the long-term.

Inflight Entertainment and Communications Outlook 2001, published by the Inflight Management Development Centre (IMDC), reviews the IFE market in detail and highlights the following key findings: 1) Airline expenditure on IFE is expected to total US$1.95 billion for 2001 -the first time that there has been a reduction in overall expenditure. 2) Airline expenditure is expected to grow again during 2002, rising to approximately US$3 billion by 2005. 3) At the beginning of 2001, some 4,630 aircraft had some form of IFE onboard, while fewer than 2,000 of these aircraft have "advanced" IFE systems onboard. 4) the IMDC forecast expects 14,072 passenger aircraft with 100 or more seats to be in service by 2001, of which 7,165 will be fitted with IFE.

IMDC also sees a 20% smaller market for new aircraft than Boeing, resulting is a total of 13,900 new aircraft in 2021 vs. Boeing's prediction of 17,200 new aircraft.

According to IMDC, during 2001 IATA member airlines produced a combined operating profit of US$9.9 billion vs. a loss of US$9.7 billion in 2000. However, the US airline accounted for the vast majority of that loss.

IMDC also reports that during the first half of 2002, all the U.S. airlines continued to report losses, while in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, financial results were mixed, even though the majority of airlines reporting showed gains. Air traffic increased slightly through the Asia-Pacific region by an average 2.2%, while the North American traffic decreased by an average 11.4%, and European traffic was down an average 8.4%. It is interesting to note that capacities had decreased worldwide.

While CCL continues to concentrate its focus on the airline market for the moment, the Company is also prepared to enter other venues such as cruise ships, ferry boats, trains and hotel rooms.

Competition

There are currently seven major competitors supplying the inflight games marketplace: Creator Capital, DTI, eFlyte, Inflight Digital, Intergame, Nintendo and Western Outdoor Interactive.

IMDC 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. Over the past three years, the airline industry worldwide, especially in the United States has been seriously affected the Global Geopolitical climate; SARS virus and by the failure of regional economies to recover and thrive. Total airline industry losses in 2001 were almost US$12 billion.

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.

IMDC made the following statements in its IFE Market Monitor -September 2002 Edition:
      "IMDC research has shown that, on average, 25% of passengers would like to see PC games as feature of IFE.
      4% of passengers would like to see games on short-haul flights."

      "It is clear that, as the aircraft market starts to have a relatively high penetration of reliable interactive IFE
      systems, inflight games have become an integral part of any interactive content offering. With almost every
      wide-body now being delivered with an IFE system capable of providing multi-channel entertainment, and a
      high proportion of these with an interactive system, it is clear that the customer-base and the number of aircraft
      served by the inflight games suppliers will significantly increaser in the coming years."

CCL feels that, while the airline industry may be having its difficulties in the short-term, the long-term forecasts are most encouraging for the IFE games sector as a whole.

Manufacturing

As a software producer and operator, the Company has no manufacturing capability. CCL's software is designed to interface with in-cabin hardware, including onboard computers, file servers, distribution and communication systems, manufactured by various suppliers for the airlines.

Sky Games System Acquisition

On November 7, 1991, the Company entered into an agreement, with subsequent amendments, with Sky Games International, Inc. ("SGII") to purchase technology, proprietary rights and prototypes of the casino games known as "Sky Games." The purchase price of the assets was 300,000 shares of the Company's $.01 par value common stock (the "Common Stock") issued to SGII at a deemed price of $1.65 per share, plus an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock held in escrow to be released on the basis of one share for each U.S. $1.78 of net cash flow generated from the assets over a ten-year period (the "Performance Shares"). Of the 3,000,000 shares, 2,000,000 were issued to SGII and 1,000,000 shares to Anthony Clements, an advisor to and director of the Company. The Performance Shares are held in escrow by Computershare Investor Services in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. As of April 30, 1997, the holders of the Performance Shares agreed with the Company to tender such shares to the Company when and if they are rel eased from the escrow, and the Company has agreed to cancel such shares. The holders of the Performance Shares have also granted an irrevocable proxy to a bank, which has irrevocably agreed not to vote such shares. Even though the Performance Shares are subject to cancellation and may not be voted, they remain issued and outstanding. Therefore, the management of the Company has included the Performance Shares in the calculation of total outstanding shares.

The Amalgamations

Effective as of December 30, 1994, the Company, through SGIH, and Harrah's Interactive Investment Company ("HIIC") completed the formation of Old IEL as a joint venture corporation incorporated as an exempted company under the Bermuda Act. At the same time, (i) Old IEL entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Harrah's Interactive Entertainment Company (the "Manager"), (ii) the prior consulting agreement between Harrah's and SGIC was terminated, (iii) SGIC assigned all right, title and interest in the Sky Games system and related trademarks and trade names to the Company, and (iv) the Company licensed the Sky Games system and certain related trademarks and trade names to Old IEL. In connection with the Amalgamations, the contractual agreements with the affiliates of Harrah's were terminated.

The ownership interests of the Company and HIIC in Old IEL were 80% and 20%, respectively, prior to the Amalgamations. The Company and HIIC had funded a total of $5 million to Old IEL. Additional capital, if not available from third parties, was to have been provided by the Company and HIIC in proportion to their shareholdings. The Executive Committee of Old IEL was to determine whether additional capital was to be provided as equity or debt. Under the shareholders agreement, each party had certain options with respect to the other party's stock. The shareholders agreement was terminated effective June 17, 1997.

The Manager had been granted, and had assumed, broad responsibility for managing the business of Old IEL. This included completing the development of and improving the Sky Games software and all other systems, marketing to airlines and customers and day-to-day gaming operations. The Management Agreement had a two-year term, but could have been renewed at the Manager's option for successive two-year terms up to a maximum term of 10 years. The Manager had a right of first negotiation on a renewal agreement. Management fees were dependent on the amount of gross revenues with a maximum fee of 7.5% of gross revenues and a minimum monthly fee of $10,000. Old IEL was required to pay all operating costs (including capital expenditures) of the business, which included the cost of services and goods provided by the Manager and its affiliates under the Management Agreement.

The Amalgamations were consummated on June 17, 1997. In conjunction with the Amalgamations, the Management Agreement was terminated, and management of the Company assumed direct responsibility for day to day operations. The Company also entered into a Continuing Services Agreement with Harrah's for certain services.

The Company had exclusively licensed Old IEL to use certain of the Sky Games trademarks, trade names and other trade rights. This license was replaced in the Amalgamations by a similar license to Harrah's for use of the Company's software, as it existed on June 17, 1997, in traditional casino venues owned, operated or managed by Harrah's. The license is royalty-free, worldwide and non-terminable.

In 1994, the Company terminated certain contractual rights previously granted to BEA in connection with the development of an earlier generation product for inflight gaming use. In connection with this termination, the Company issued a U.S. $2,500,000 convertible promissory note due March 30, 1997. The unpaid balance of the note, including accrued interest, was exchanged for Redeemable Convertible Class A Preference Shares in the Company on June 16, 1997.

Major Customers

The Company's Sky Play customers include Air China, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates Air, Japan Air Lines, and Sri Lankan Airways. As at December 31, 2003, the Sky Play PC Games were operating on 74 aircraft.

During the first quarter of 2002, American Airlines ceased to be a client due to budgetary restraints. Malaysia Airlines ceased to be a client as they terminated their agreement with their contracted IFE Inflight content provider who was providing them with CCL Sky Play games. Continental Airlines also ceased to be a client at the end of the second quarter of 2002.

Investment -China Lotteries

On September 22, 2001, the Company entered into an Investment agreement with Asset China Investments Ltd. ("Asset China"). Asset China holds 70% of the outstanding shares of Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. Beacon Hill holds the license for and operates one of two major Soccer Betting Lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. In exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and an investment of up to HK$1,500.000 (US$ 180,050.00), the Company receives 80% of the proceeds of the business profits generated from Asset China's Soccer Betting and Lottery assets. To date, the Company has forwarded HK$900,000.00 (US$117,030.00). To date, no business profits have been generated nor distributed. No further funds will be forwarded and the shares will not be distributed until there are business profits generated and distributed.

On November 1, 2001, the Company entered into an Investment agreement with Lee John Associates ("Lee John"). Lee John is engaged in the business of owning the licenses for and operating several lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Peoples' Republic of China. In exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, the Company shall receive 80% of the proceeds of the business profits generated from Lee John's Lottery businesses. To date, the company has not issued the 500,000 shares of common stock, nor closed the transaction, as there have not yet been any business profits generated or distributed.

As of August 2003, CCL had not yet received any funds under the agreements with TWC and LJA. Therefore, upon detailed re-evaluation and analysis all parties mutually agreed to amend the original agreements. On September 1, 2003, CCL amended these two agreements as described below:

The original agreement with TWC required a total investment of US$180,050.00 (HK$1,500,000) and the issuance of 1,500,000 CCL common shares to TWC. To date, CCL has funded US$115,000.00, but has not issued any common shares. Initially, both TWC and Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. ("BHE"), agreed that TWC's 70% ownership in Beacon Hill would be reduced to 49% (due to the partial completion of the original funding of US$180,050.00). The agreement was then finalized as a Licensing arrangement, whereby the $115,000 advanced was deemed to a one-time, full payment of the license fee to allow TWC to sell lottery tickets through a dedicated Website www.worldwidelotteries-china.com. The 1,500,000 CCL common shares will not be issued as a part of the amended arrangement.

The original agreement with LJA required CCL to issue 500,000 CCL common shares in exchange for 80% of LJA's business profits generated from its seven sales locations within Guangdong Province, in the People's Republic of China. As of September 1, 2003, CCL had not received any funds from LJA, nor had CCL issued the 500,000 common shares. This agreement was cancelled on September 1, 2003.

As of December 31, 2003, CCL had completed the development of the Website (www.worldwidelotteries-china.com), which is directed towards the international marketing and sales of the Soccer Betting Lottery. During the 3rd Quarter 2003, approval was obtained and an agreement was reached with a Credit Card Payment processing provider. Subsequently, the provider was unable to provide the required services due to an internal issue. In the 4th Quarter 2003, agreement was reached with NEteller to provide payment processing services.

Licensing Agreement -Action Poker Gaming Inc.

On September 19, 2003, CCL's wholly owned subsidiary, Trade Watch Consultants Ltd. ("TWC") of the British Virgin Islands, entered into a Licensing Agreement with Action Poker Gaming Inc. ("APG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment. APG provides Gaming Software designed for the on-line gaming industry. TWC's Website www.worldwidegaming-asia.com will feature Asian Themed games such as "Chinese Poker", "Pan" and "Big 2". A percentage of gaming revenue realized from the Website is payable to Action Poker Gaming Inc. on a monthly basis.

As at December 31, 2003, the Website content and design has not been forwarded to CCL for approval.

Employees

All employees of CCL were terminated as of November 13, 1998. Those former employees that were subsequently retained on a part-time contract basis to continue operations and support the Sky Play product, are no longer associated with IEL. Two former employees, through their corporate entity, eFlyte, LLC had been contracted as independent contractors to provide services relating to the Sky Play business. Effective April 22, 2001, eFlyte terminated its contract with CCL. Due to the nature of the termination and subsequent events, legal counsel was retained and correspondence occurred with eFlyte's counsel. Such correspondence did not result in a satisfactory resolution. . In December 2002, legal arbitration proceedings were initiated against eFlyte, LLC. On March 11, 2004 the parties reached an agreement in principle whereby the Arbitration Process was resolved pursuant to a Confidential Settlement Agreement.

As of March 25, 2004, there were 296 shareholders of record. Since certain of CCL's Common Shares are held by brokers or other nominees, the number of record holders may not be representative of the number of beneficial holders. CCL believes there are approximately 2,200 beneficial holders of the Company's Common Shares.

CCL has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future.

In June 1997, the company issued 2,737 Class A Preference Shares in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $2,737,000.

As of March 31, 2000, HIIC would be entitled to receive 476,320
shares. The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion may be higher or lower and is based on a discount to the 20 day average o f the mean closing bid and ask price of the Company's Common Stock. It is also inversely proportional to the market price of the Company's Common Stock i.e. if the average share price decreases, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable increases. Dividends of $252,126 on the Class A Preference Shares are in arrears from October 1, 1998 and are included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses on the Company's financial statements.

In October 1997, the Company sold 462,847 shares of Common Stock in a private placement for $1.5 million (approximately $1,352,000 net of offering expenses). An additional 286,123 shares were sold for $750,000 on April 21, 1998 followed by another 286,123 shares for $750,000 on June 8, 1998.

On December 17, 1997, the Company issued 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preference Shares of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock for a total consideration of $1,000.000. The Class B Series A Preference Shares are convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock, determined by dividing the stated value of $1,000 per share by the lesser of: $3.2038 (the "Fixed Conversion Price") and a price (the "Floating Conversion Price") calculated as 85% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Common Stock during the thirty trading days occurring immediately prior to, but not including, the conversion date. Dividends are cumulative and may be paid, at the option of the Company and with prior notice, in additional shares of Common Stock at an annual dividend rate of 8%. Warrants for the purchase of 61,718 shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Class B Convertible Preference Shares. The warrants expired on December 17, 1999. The Company exercise d an option of selling a second tranche with 123,432 warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 on July 24, 1998.

All Common Stock issuable upon the conversions were issued except for 3,492,426 shares. In January, 1999, two holders of the Class B Series A Preference Shares agreed to amend the conversion terms so that the Floating Conversion Price will not be less than $0.25 per share.

On January 8, 2001, these shares were submitted for conversion, and 480,000 common shares were issued.

During 2002, the 3,492,426 common shares issuable based upon conversion of Class B Series A Preference shares during 1999, were issued. When these the Preference Shares were submitted for conversion during 1999, the authorized number of common shares had already been issued. Shareholders passed a resolution at the 2000 Annual General Meeting, authorizing an increase in the authorized number of common shares, however these shares were not issued until 2002 due to an oversight.

On February 20, 1998, the Company sold 300 shares of Series B Class B Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share. The Series B Class B Convertible Preferred Shares have the same dividend and conversion features as the Series A Class B Convertible Preferred Shares.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Overview

Creator Capital Limited ("CCL" or the "Company"), formerly known as Interactive Entertainment Limited ("IEL"), also formerly known as Sky Games International Ltd. ("SGI"), is a Bermuda exempted company which was incorporated on January 28, 1981. Until November 12, 1998, the Company's activities had been focused on providing inflight gaming software and services by developing, implementing and operating a computer-based interactive video entertainment system of gaming and other entertainment activities on, but not limited to, the aircraft of international commercial air carriers.

On December 30, 1994, the Company entered into a Shareholders Agreement with SGI Holding Corporation Limited ("SGIH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGI, and an affiliate of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. ("Harrah's"), to form a corporation then known as Interactive Entertainment Limited ("Old IEL"), the result of which was that Old IEL became owned 80% by SGIH and 20% by Harrah's. Pursuant to a management agreement, (the "Management Agreement"), Old IEL was managed by an affiliate of Harrah's.

At a Special General Meeting of shareholders held on June 16, 1997, pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger and Amalgamation dated May 13, 1997, (the "Amalgamation Agreement"), Old IEL was merged into SGIH and then into SGI (the "Amalgamations"). Prior to the Amalgamations, Harrah's owned 20% of the capital stock of Old IEL and did not own any capital stock or other securities of SGI and had no representatives on the Board of Directors. As a result of the amalgamation of Old IEL and SGIH and the termination of the Management Agreement, the outstanding shares of Old IEL common stock held by Harrah's were converted into 5,879,040 shares of $.01 par value common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"). Harrah's also received 1,007,875 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a loan, (the "Harrah's Loan"), made to Old IEL. Harrah's therefore became the largest shareholder of the Company holding approximately 38.6% of the outstanding shares at the time of the amalgamation. As at March 31, 2001, Harrah's remained the largest shareholder of the Company, holding 13.77% of the outstanding shares.

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, Harrah's was provided with the right to appoint persons to the Board and to specified committees in a number generally proportionate to their share holdings calculated on a "fully diluted" basis as defined in the Company's bye-laws. Additionally, Harrah's was provided with the right to approve specified significant corporate actions by the Company for as long as the ownership of Common Stock by Harrah's is in excess of 20% (10% in some cases) of the outstanding voting shares of Common Stock, computed on a fully-diluted basis.

Upon consummation of the Amalgamations, SGI changed its name to Interactive Entertainment Limited.("IEL").

On January 13, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Inflight Interactive Limited ("IIL") in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. IIL is a U.K. developer and provider of amusement games to the airline industry. CCL currently operates the "IIL" games under the name SkyPlay. As of December 31, 2001, Sky Play games are currently installed and operating on Air China, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Continental, EgyptAir, Emirates Air, Japan Air Lines, Lauda Air, and Malaysia Airlines. During the last quarter of 2001, the number of airline customers decreased to seven, and the number of installed aircraft decreased from 150 to 141.

As of December 31, 1998, IEL had a contract to provide its gaming software to Singapore Airlines, ("SIA"), which has various termination provisions. On March 22, 1999, SIA notified the Company that it was exercising its termination rights under the contract. The contract with Singapore Airlines was the Company's only contract to provide its gaming software to an airline. Gaming is prohibited on the aircraft of U.S. commercial air carriers and on all flights to and from the United States. Other countries may introduce similar prohibitions, which could limit the prospects for additional contracts.

At the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on September 19, 2000, shareholders voted in favour of the following resolutions: (i) change the name of the Company to "Creator Capital Limited" ("CCL"); (ii) increase the Company's authorized shares to 105,003,000 and its authorized share capital to US$1,050,030.00; (iii) give the Board of Directors the discretion to effect a consolidation of the Company's authorized share capital and outstanding shares by up to 10 to 1 (which would decrease the authorized shares and authorized share capital and increase the par value of its shares by the selected ratio), and, also in its discretion, subsequently to decrease the par value of the Company's Common Stock to $.001 per share and increase the Company's authorized shares to 105,003,000;

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2000, consisted of simplifying, and redesigning the Sky Games inflight gaming software and marketing and supporting the Sky Play PC amusement game software. CCL continues to provide its amusement game software to Air China, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Continental, EgyptAir, Japan Air Lines, Lauda Air, and Malaysia Airlines.. Emirates Air was added as a client in 2000, while Virgin Atlantic ceased to be a client. CCL's Sky Play revenues increased from US$507,000 during 1999 to US$537,000 during 2000.

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2001 consisted of: 1) assessing and analyzing the status of the Sky Games Inflight gaming software and the Sky Play business following the departure of eFlyte, LLC as the operational managers and technical support of business: 2) the ongoing management and support of the Sky Play business, and 3) the due diligence for and investment in the China Soccer Betting Lottery Project. As of December 31, 2001, both Egypt Air and Lauda Air ceased to be clients due to budgetary constraints.

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2002 consisted of the development of the China Lotteries Soccer Betting website. Several challenging factors were addressed: the overall look and format of the site; the various ordering processes and technicalities involved; the timely collection of games results, and lottery winners for posting on the site; the written Chinese language interpretations; the internet registrations, URL addresses and language interpretations; the international payment processing providers; and the marketing of the Website internationally.

The advent of the PC Tablet notebook computer configuration led CCL to resurrect its original stand-alone concept for the Sky Games Gaming system. Utilizing various models of Fujitsu PC Tablet hardware, CCL previewed the concept of both a stand-alone and a wireless system at the 2002 World Airline Entertainment Association's (WAEA) annual convention.

As at December 2002, American Airlines ceased to be a client due to budgetary constraints. Malaysia Airlines ceased to be a client as they terminated their agreement with their contracted IFE Inflight content provider who was providing them with CCL Sky Play games. Continental Airlines also ceased to be a client at the end of the second quarter of 2002,

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2003 were unchanged from the year before. These activities consisted of the development of the China Lotteries Soccer Betting website. Several challenging factors were addressed: the overall look and format of the site; the various ordering processes and technicalities involved; the timely collection of games results, and lottery winners for posting on the site; the written Chinese language interpretations; the internet registrations, URL addresses and language interpretations; the international payment processing providers; and the marketing of the Website internationally.

In September 2003, CCL attended the WAEA once again in Seattle. This was particularly valuable this year as the progression of certain technologies into the commercial aviation field, only served to encourage CCL's continued pursuit of finding the most technologically efficient and commercially attractive method of re-introducing the concept of live inflight gaming to passengers.

As at December 2003, Airline clients included Air China, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Air, JALUX and Sri Lankan Airways. The SkyPlay PC Amusement Games were installed and operating on 74 aircraft.



Results of Operations

At December 31, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,266,630. Of this, $1,160,568 was for dividends payable that have accrued over several fiscal periods on current outstanding Preferred shares. Without said accrued dividends, the working capital would have been in a deficit position of $105,728. The Company's net cash position is $40,817.

During 1998, the Company and the holder agreed that the Company would redeem the Class A Preference Shares in installments beginning June 30, 1998. As of August 31, 1998, the Company had redeemed 500 shares at their redemption price of $1,000 per share. The Company was unable to redeem additional shares. As of March 31, 2000, 2,237 Class A Preference Shares remained outstanding and were convertible at $0.4626855
into 4,834,818 shares of Common Stock on that date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders of Creator Capital Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Creator Capital Limited as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited operations, products, or facilities, and requires significant resources to implement its plan of operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to be a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CREATOR CAPITAL LIMITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1    Nature of Operations

The Company is a Bermuda exempted company which, in June 1997, changed its name from Sky Games International Ltd. ("SGI") to Interactive Entertainment Limited. and on September 27, 2000 changed its name to Creator Capital Limited.

The Company's activities have been focused on providing inflight gaming and entertainment software and services by developing, implementing and operating or licensing computerized video gaming and other entertainment software on, but not limited to the aircraft of international commercial air carriers. Gaming software was marketed using the name Sky Games™, and the entertainment software is marketed using the name Sky Play. The Company has also developed a marketing internet website for the purpose of international sales of tickets in the People's Republic of China's soccer betting lottery.


Note 2
    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:


- -Sky Games International Corp. (a Nevada corporation);

-Creator Island Equities Inc., (a Yukon Territory corporation);

-Trade Watch Consultants Ltd. (a Chinese Corporation).


The subsidiary companies, except for Trade Watch consultants, are all inactive. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in these financial statements include fair values and impairment analysis of Property and Equipment and Investment.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at the customers' outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts, marketing credits and allowance for possible sales returns.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Marketing credits and Allowance for Possible Sales Returns.

The allowance for accounts receivable is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level management believes is adequate to cover any possible losses, credits or returns.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over its estimated economic life, which is generally three to five years. Depreciation expense was approximately $3,454, $89,928, and $85,711 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Software Development

All software production costs have been capitalized until the software was available for general release to customers, in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Amortization of the software costs over a three-year period started in June 1998, Software development costs were written down in December, 1998 to a value representing the value attributable to the Sky Play software.

Website Development Costs

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs, becomes effective for periods beginning after June 30, 2000, and establishes accounting and reporting standards for costs incurred to develop a web site based on the nature of each cost. In general, the pronouncement requires that costs incurred to develop a web site be capitalized and amortized to expense over the expected useful life of the site.

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 also apply to all business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, eliminates amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Rather, these assets are subject to impairment tests at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are being amortized using a straight-line basis or the timing of related cash flows over periods ranging from 1.5 to 25 years. An intangible asset subject to amortization mu st be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. With adoption of the statement, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of, management continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for Sky Games is recognized each month upon the invoicing of customer. Revenue for Sky Games is recognized at the end of each month upon accumulation of monthly gaming totals.

Net (Loss) per Share

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS No. 128), that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted (loss) per share. Basic (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effect on net (loss) per share are excluded.

For the periods ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share as all stock options, warrants, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. All loss per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB No. 25) and related interpretations.

Comprehensive Income

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, effective January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 established standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The requirements of SFAS No. 130 include: (a) classifying items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) displaying the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earning and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. The Company's comprehensive income (loss) is substantially equivalent to net income (loss) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

FASB Statement Number 133, Accounting for Derivative Instrument Hedging Activities, becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, and establishes accounting and reporting standards fro derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements in the near future.

Segment Reporting

In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires financial statements to disclose information about products and services, geographic areas and major customers based on a management approach. The management approach requires disclosing financial and descriptive information about an enterprise's reportable operating segments based on reporting information the way management organizes the segments for making decisions and assessing performance. It also eliminates the requirement to disclose additional information about subsidiaries that were not consolidated. For the year ending December 31, 2003, the adoption had no material impact to the Company's disclosure information and its results of operations.

Pensions

FASB Statement Number 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and revises employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. It standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures. Since the Company has no pension or postretirement benefit plans, the pronouncement had no effect in the period.

Mortgage -Backed Securities

FASB Statement Number 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securities of Mortgage Loans for Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise, becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. It is not expected apply to the Company.

Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments as of December 31, 2003, and 2002, as defined in FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the year. Translation gains and losses are not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.146,"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities " ( SFAS No.146), requires the Company to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 replaces Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, " Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions of SFAS NO.146 are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The effect of adoption of SFAS No.146 is dependent on the Company's related activities subsequent to the date of adoption.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. " EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, "to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company will continue to account for stock-based compensation under the provision of Accounting Principle Bond Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" using the "intrinsic value" method. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 148 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN No. 46"). FIN No. 46 expands upon existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. FIN No. 46 requires an enterprise to consolidate a variable interest entity if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns or both. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created or obtained after January 31, 2003. For those variable interest entities in existence prior to January 31, 2003, the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46 are effective July 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN No. 46R"). FIN No. 46R clarifies some of the provisions of FIN No. 46 and exempts certain entities from its requirements. FIN No. 46R is effective at the end of the interim period ending after March 15, 2004 for variable interest entities other than special purpose entities. The adoption of FIN No. 46 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the adoption of FIN No. 46R will not have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In April 2003, the FASB amended and clarified financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), through the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting. Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 or otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106" ("SFAS No. 132R"). SFAS No. 132R retains the disclosure requirements contained in FASB Statement No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"), and also requires additional disclosures to those in the original SFAS No. 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Except as noted, disclosures required by SFAS No. 132R are effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The disclosure of estimated future benefit payments required by SFAS No. 132R is effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 132R did not have a material effect on the consolidated f inancial statements of the Company.

Exercise prices for stock options outstanding at December 31, 2003, ranged from $0.14 to $4.13. The weighted average remaining life of the outstanding stock options is approximately 4 years.

Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share is required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123) and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these options at the date of grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively: volatility factor of the expected market value of the Company's Common Stock is nil for 2003 and 2002, and 4.660 for 2001 respectively; weighted average expected life of the options of 4 years for 2003 and 5 years for 2002 and 2001; risk-free interest rate of 3% for 2003, 1.5% for 2002, and 3.66% for 2001, and no dividend payments.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options

Because SFAS No. 123 applies only to stock-based compensation awards for the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996 and future years, the pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123 are not likely to be indicative of future disclosures until the disclosures reflect all outstanding, non-vested awards.

Note 8    Stock Warrants

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had no outstanding stock warrants for shares of its Common Stock as its prior year's outstanding 80,000 warrants expired during 2002 fiscal year.

Note 10   Contingencies

Mr. Laurence Geller was Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company from September 30, 1996 until February 23,1999. The annual compensation of the Chairman of the Board was set at $100,000 and is not payable until the Company generates sufficient cash flows from operations.
