NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
---------
Note 1 Consolidated Financial Statements
---------------------------------
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the periods shown.
The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future
period.
The Company's auditor, Amisano Hanson Chartered Accountants, has not
reviewed the financial statements and Form 10-QSB, for the period
ending June 30 2005.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America for interim financial information. These
financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures
required for annual financial statements. The organization and
business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company
and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the
Company's December 31, 2004 Form 10-KSB.
In the opinion of the Company's management, these financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's
consolidated financial position as at June 30th 2005, the consolidated
results of operations for the three months and six months ended June
30th 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated cash flows for the six months
ended June 30th 2005 and 2004. The results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30th 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Note 3 Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America on a going-concern basis. This presumes funds will be
available to finance on-going development, operations and capital
expenditures and the realization of assets and the payment of
liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable
future. Management intends to raise additional capital through share
issuances to finance operations and invest in other business
opportunities.
The Company has a working capital deficit of $176,863 at June 30th
2005, minimal other capital resources presently available to meet
obligations which can normally be expected to be incurred by similar
companies and has a loss of $222,809 for the six months ended June
30th 2005.
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to
the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, which might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going-concern, which is dependent on the Company's
ability to obtain and maintain an appropriate
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

level of financing on a timely basis and to achieve sufficient cash
flows to cover obligations and expenses.
Note 4 Due to Related Parties
The Company owes a past President of the Company, Mark Glusing,
CDN$15,465.26 in management fees. This debt is unsecured, non-interest
bearing and has no specific terms for payment.
The Company is in debt to Ubiquity Management Inc., a company under
the control of Mark Glusing, for operational expenses paid on behalf
of the Company. The debt owing is CDN$26,663.47 and was secured by a
promissory note with 5% interest. The promissory note has since
expired and the debt is still owing with no specific terms of
repayment.
Note 5 Contingent Liabilities
(a) On December 2nd 2002, the Company entered into an "Assignment of
Trademark Agreement" with Ala Corp. Ala Corp. was subsequently in
default under this Agreement and on November 17th 2004, the
Company instructed their solicitors to commence legal proceedings
against Ala Corp. A writ was issued for the trademark dispute but
was not pursued as it was consolidated into the Settlement
Agreement entered into in 2005 (see "Subsequent Events" for
additional details.)
(b) The Company is a plaintiff in a lawsuit initiated by Uninet
Technologies Inc. ("Uninet"), the master licensee, against ALA,
the owner of the Poker.com URL/domain name. The master licensee
sold a sublicense to the Company, granting it the exclusive use
of the URL/domain name for a period of 99 years. The owner of the
URL/domain name is accused of wrongfully breaching the license
agreement by assigning the URL/domain name to a different
company.
On November 9, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement with
Uninet in regards to compensating Uninet for their agreement to
prosecute the civil action (and advance legal fees) against Ala
Corp and Communication Services Inc. The payment terms pursuant
to the Agreement were as follows:
1. For prosecuting the action against Ala Corp., Uninet will be
entitled to a 50% ownership in the rights of the URL
"www.poker.com". Therefore, entitling Uninet to receive 50%
of all revenue received by the Company in using and/or
re-licensing the URL to a third party.
2. In the event that the Company is unable to continue to
contribute fees to the proposed legal action to recover the
rights to the URL "www.poker.com", but Uninet advances legal
fees, the Company hereby agrees to assign 90% of its right,
title and interest in and to the use of the URL to Uninet.
In this regard, the Company irrevocably undertakes to allow
Uninet to act for and/or represent the Company in order to
continue prosecuting the joint action against CSI and any
other action that Uninet believes should be taken against
Ala Corp and/or CSI, for which costs Uninet will be
responsible.
The Company was unable to continue to contribute fees to the
legal action to recover the URL, poker.com and, therefore, was
unable to meet the terms and conditions of the November 9th 2004
Agreement with Uninet.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
---------
As a result of Uninet's continuing funding of the legal fees, the
Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with Uninet on
December 29th 2004, whereby the Company assigned to Uninet 90% of
the right, title and interest in and to the use of the URL,
poker.com. In the event a settlement occurs between Ala Corp
and/or Communication Services Inc., Uninet shall be entitled to
receive 90% of the said settlement.
In April 2005, the parties negotiated a Settlement Agreement.
Please see "Subsequent Events" for additional details.
(c) The Company will be liable for damages to Antico Holdings S.A.
for failure to provide use of the URL, as per their agreement,
and may not be able to collect the outstanding receivable of
$591,048. (see "Subsequent Events" for additional information.)
Note 6 Subsequent Events
(i) The Company and SkillPoker were in default under the terms and
conditions of the Blue Diamond Agreement who gave written notice
to cancel the Agreement and take back the assignment of the
inventions.
On April 14th 2005, SkillPoker and Blue Diamond entered into an
Assignment Agreement. For consideration of the sum of $1.00,
SkillPoker assigned to Blue Diamond the inventions and patents
known as:

(ii) In 2004, Genius Goods Inc. and the Company agreed to transfer the
URL, poker.cc, back to Genius Goods. The transfer took place on
April 22nd 2005 and all dealings between the two companies have
been subsequently terminated without further contingent
liability.
(iii) On April 25th 2005, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement
with Ala Corp. regarding the dispute over the URL/domain name and
trademark dispute. The Settlement Agreement outlined the
following terms:
- Communication Services Inc. will pay to the counsel for
Uninet and LegalPlay, Kornfeld Mackoff Silber, in
trust, US$435,000 for distribution to both Uninet and
LegalPlay.
- Ala Corp., and associated parties, agree to transfer to
LegalPlay, or as they may direct, all of their right,
title or interest in their 2,403,400 common shares of
LegalPlay Entertainment.
(iv) On April 25th 2005, the Company entered into a Settlement
Agreement ("Agreement') with Communication Services Inc. ("CSI")
and Ala Corp. The Agreement stated that the Company no longer had
any interest in or claim to the domain name, www.poker.com or the
U.S. Trademarks "Poker.com" and "Poker.com The Ultimate Gaming
Connection Design". The domain name and trademarks are now the
sole property of CSI.
As a result of the Agreement, the Company received $42,000 and
250,000 common shares of LegalPlay.
(v) As a result of the URL/domain name settlement, Antico Holdings
S.A. ("Antico") was denied the use of the poker.com URL and
suffered substantial damages.

---------
Antico refused to pay the Company the amount of $591,048 until
the URL had been reinstated and had demanded restitution of the
URL or damages.
The parties agreed that the damages that Antico suffered
substantially exceeded the amount that was owing to LegalPlay.
However, Antico agreed that they would not commence legal action
for damages on the condition that LegalPlay write off the debt of
$591,048.
(vi) After the settlement with Ala Corp., the Company had the
financial resources to pay the accounting and legal fees incurred
in completing regulatory filings for the SEC. On June 17th 2005,
the Company filed an amendment to the Form 15-12(g) previously
filed with the SEC on March 18th 2005. The amendment stated that
the Company wished to withdraw their request to terminate their
obligations as a reporting issuer. The company may not be
successful in withdrawing their request, which is subject to
filing the December 31 2004 Form 10-KSB and March 31 2005 and
June 30 2005 Form 10-QSBs with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission in a timely manner.
(vii) On July 15th 2005, the Company issued 900,000 common shares,
representing 2.71%, of LegalPlay to the directors of the Company,
as settlement for outstanding director's fees totaling US$9,000.
The debt was settled at an exchange price per common share of
$0.01 and the shares were issued under the conditions of Rule 144
and contain the appropriate restrictive legend.

QUARTERLY REPORT (SEC FORM 10-QSB)
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANLAYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We continued to operate through our three subsidiary companies: Casino Marketing
S.A., a Costa Rican registered company; 564448 BC Ltd., a British Columbia
registered company; and Skill Poker.com Inc., a Washington state registered
company incorporated January 29, 2003.
Our current business strategy is to develop our own Poker software and market
the software to on-line gaming sites worldwide.
The litigation in relation to the domain name dispute relating to Poker.com
continued during the first quarter of 2005 and a Settlement Agreement was
reached between the parties in April 2005.
We are in immediate need of further working capital and are considering options
with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the
preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies
are described in the footnotes to our financial statements at December 31, 2004.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.
Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and
actions we may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual
results. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and
assumptions by us, which have a material impact on our financial condition and
results. Management believes its critical accounting policies reflect its most
significant estimates and assumptions used in the presentation of our financial
statements. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition,
accounting for stock based compensation and the evaluation of the recoverability
of long-lived and intangible assets. We do not have off-balance sheet
arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or
other persons, also known as "special purpose entities".

NET SALES. Net sales for the six months ended June 30 2005 were $5,000 compared
to $6,352 for the six months ended June 30 2004.
We expect to enhance our revenues through the consideration of other business
opportunities. There can be no assurances we will be able to identify any
business opportunities which will benefit us. These are forward-looking
statements, particularly as related to the business plans of the Company, within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are subject to the safe harbor created by
these sections. Actual results may differ materially from our expectations and
estimates.
EXPENSES. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30 2005 were
$227,809 compared to $254,457 for the six months ended June 30 2004. The major
expense item for the six months ended June 30 2005 was the write-off of the
fixed asset of $205,000, as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30,
2004.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. No tax provision was made for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
On June 30 2005, our net working capital was ($176,863) compared to a net
working capital of $58,363 at December 31, 2004. At June 30 2005, the Company
had cash and cash equivalents totaling $3,938 and compared to December 31, 2004
the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $18,262. We are in immediate
need of further working capital and are considering options with respect to
financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
Net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30 2005 was
$3,496. The decrease in cash was mainly due to developing and marketing the
Skill Poker system, legal fees relating to the URL dispute and general office
operations.
Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005
was $0.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005
was $0.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and fund operations through
the remainder of 2005 is contingent upon its' ability to raise funds through
equity or debt financing.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(i) We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information we are required to disclose in our Securities Exchange Act

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 6, 2002, the domain www.poker.com was re-directed without our
consent or knowledge by Ala Corp., a company registered under the laws of
Antigua and whose principal is Liz Bryce of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The domain was originally licensed from Ala Corp. to Uninet Technologies Inc.
("Uninet") in1999. Uninet immediately sub-licensed the domain to us. In turn,
we sub-licensed the domain to Antico Holdings S.A. of Costa Rica for the
operating casino and/or card rooms. We retained all other rights to the domain
name including developing the web site as a portal, marketing casinos and card
rooms and other gaming software.
As of March 31st 2005, Liz Bryce, through Ala Corp., owned 1,297,900 shares of
our common stock or 3.81% of our issued and outstanding common stock. In
addition, Ms. Bryce's parents collectively own 1,105,500 shares or 3.24% of our
common stock. Ms. Bryce, together with her parents, owns directly and
indirectly, a total of 2,403,400 shares or 7.05% of our common stock. As part
of the Settlement Agreement entered into between the Company and Ala Corp. on
April 25th 2005, Liz Bryce and her parents agreed to transfer their
shareholdings in LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. to the Company and Uninet
Technologies Inc.
Although contemplated in the agreements between Ala Corp. and Uninet and between
Uninet and us, Ala Corp. failed to provide Uninet or us with any notice that it
was redirecting the domain. As such, we were unaware of any allegations of
contractual breach and management is of the opinion that all obligations, as set
forth by the terms and conditions of the agreements, have been fulfilled and we
are not aware of any reason for this dispute.
We agreed with Uninet (who would be entitled to 50% of the URL if they co-joined
an action) to jointly pursue all legal avenues available to retain the exclusive
right to use www.poker.com and to enforce the provisions of the agreement
between Ala Corp. and Uninet.
After the domain was redirected, Ala Corp. transferred the registered owner of
the domain to Communications Services Inc. ("CSI"), a company registered in
Western Samoa and the registrar was changed from California based Verisign Inc.
to Australia based Fabulous.com.
Together with Uninet, we applied to The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN), a governing body which oversees domain registration and use
issues, for the purpose of obtaining a decision on the basis of the wrongful
redirection of www.poker.com. ICANN, however, ruled on January 21, 2003 that
since the domain is now registered in the name of Communication Services Inc.,
it could only decide on a dispute between Ala Corp., the previous registered
owner of the domain and CSI. Together with Uninet, we did not have any standing
to apply for relief with ICANN since neither of us were ever the registered
owner of the domain name.
On February 28, 2003, together with Uninet, we sued CSI in the Supreme Court of
British Columbia, Canada for a declaration that as a successor and assignee of
Ala Corp., CSI is a trustee of the domain name for the benefit of Uninet and us:
- an accounting for profits earned by Communication through the wrongful
use of the domain an accounting for profits earned by CSI through the
wrongful use of the domain name
- a declaration that Ala and Communication are bound by the License
Agreement between Ala and Uninet
- a declaration that Uninet and us are entitled to the exclusive use of
the domain name.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 17
On November 3, 2003, we received notice from the Supreme Court of British
Columbia that we were successful in establishing a substantial connection
between the claims CSI was making and the jurisdiction in British Columbia.
LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. can therefore pursue its case against CSI in
British Columbia in connection with the litigation regarding the URL
www.poker.com. Parallel arbitration proceedings against Ala Corp. remain under
way.
In 2004, together with Uninet, we proceeded to arbitration (in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the agreement) with Ala Corp. in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada to assert Uninet and our rights under the agreements. We
selected the mutually acceptable arbitrator, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP.
In the meantime, together with Uninet, we requested that the current registrar,
Fabulous.com impose a lock on the domain name, www.poker.com, pending the
outcome of the Supreme Court action and the arbitration, which means the domain
cannot be transferred to either another owner or to another registrar.
As mentioned above, we sub-licensed the domain name to Antico Holdings S.A.
("Antico") of Costa Rica to use the domain for operating casinos and/or card
rooms. Antico notified us that it had ceased all payments of royalties payable
to us pending resolution to the dispute over the right to use the domain. It is
anticipated that Antico will allege that we are responsible for damages incurred
by Antico as a result of the dispute. We intend to defend any claims and will
appropriately claim similarly against Uninet Technologies Inc., Ala Corp. and
CSI.
On April 25th 2005, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with Ala Corp.
regarding the dispute over the URL/domain name and trademark dispute. Please see
Note 8, "Subsequent Events", in the financial statement notes for additional
details.
To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency
is presently contemplating any proceedings against us. Other than as described
above, no director, executive officer or affiliate thereof or owner of record or
beneficially of more than five percent of our common stock is a party adverse to
or has a material interest adverse to us in any proceeding.
