Bichostars Notes to the ?nancial statements 1 Nature of operations The company is licensed by the lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) as a class three remote gaming licensee to carry on the business of online gaming in accordance with the provisions of the Remote Gaming Regulations. 2 General information Bichostars Ltd, a private limited liability company, is incorporated and domiciled in Malta. The company's registered of?ce is 527, St. Paul?s Bay Street, St. Paul?s Bay, SPB3418. The ?nancial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union, and in accordance with the Companies Act, 1995. The use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union creates no signi?cant departure in these ?nancial statements from presentation according to International Financial Reporting Standards. The ?nancial statements are presented in Euro which is the functional currency of the company. 3 Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards At the date of authorisation of the ?nancial statements the following Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective: IFRS 9 Fz'izamraz Ciai'rz?mtioa and iMeararameaf IFRS 9 as issued re?ects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classi?cation and measurement of financial assets as de?ned in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. In subsequent phases, the will address classi?cation and measurement of ?nancial liabilities, hedge accounting and de?recognition. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The adoption of the ?rst phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classi?cation and measurement of the company?s financial assets. The company will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture. There have been no instances of early adoption of Standards and Interpretations ahead of their effective date. The directors anticipate that the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, that were in issue at the date of authorisation of these ?nancial statements but not yet effective, as explained above, will have no material impact on the company?s ?nancial statements in the period of initial application.

Notes to the ?nancial statements (continued) 4 Going concern The ?nancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At balance sheet date the company had net liabilities and net current liabilities of ?19,360 and ?8,717 respectively. Thus, there is a material uncertainty that may cast signi?cant doubt on the entity?s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The directors have, however, obtained assurances from the parent company and ultimate shareholders that the latter will continue to provide ?nancial support to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Based on the foregoing the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the ?nancial statements on a going concern basis. 5 Summary of accounting policies The signi?cant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these ?nancial statements are summarised below. The ?nancial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases speci?ed by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below. The preparation of ?nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and. various other factors that are believed to be reasonable and reliable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In the opinion of the directors, the accounting estimates and judgements made in the course of preparing these ?nancial statements are not dif?cult, subjective or complex to a degree which would warrant their description as critical in terms of the requirements of IAS 1 (revised). Income and expense recognition The company? revenue is stated net of related payouts and charge backs. Interest receivable is recognised on an accruals basis. Operating expenses are recognised in the income statement upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

Notes to the ?nancial statements (continued) 5 Summary of accounting policies (continued) Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the company using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items at year?end exchange rates are recognised in the income statement. Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are carried at acquisition cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write off the cost or valuation of the assets over their estimated useful lives on the following bases: Computer equipment 25 Impairment testing of assets For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped 'at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash?generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset?s or cash?generating unit?s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. To determine the value in use, the company?s management estimates expected future cash ?ows from each cash'generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash ?ows. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect their respective risk pro?les as assessed by the company?s management. Impairment losses are recognised immediately in pro?t or loss. Impairmmt losses for cash? generating units are charged pro rata to the assets in the cash?generating unit- All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge that has been recognised is reversed if the cash generating unit?s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset?s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Notes to the ?nancial statements (continued) 5 Summary of accounting policies (continued) Financial assets The company?s ?nancial assets other than cash and cash equivalents fall into the category of loans and receivables. A summary of ?nancial assets by category is given in note 17.5. Loans and receivables are non-derivative ?nancial assets with ?xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Discounting however, is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. A provision for impairment of loans and receivables is established when here is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Loans and receivables are considered for impairment on a case-by?case basis and the provision is based on management?s assessment of the amount recoverable on each receivable. Any change in the value of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss. Income taxes Current income tax assets andg? or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, ?scal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be offset against future taxable income. The company?s management bases its assessment of the probability of future taxable income on the company's latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for signi?cant non- taxable income and expenses and speci?c limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, that deferred tax asset is recognised in full. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the income statement, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

Notes to the ?nancial statements (continued) 5 Summary of accounting policies (continued) Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, balances at bank and balances held on payment gateways. Equity and dividend payments Share capital is determined using the called-up value of shares that have been issued. Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included with short term ?nancial liabilities when the dividends are approved in the general meeting prior to the end of the reporting period. Financial liabilities The company's ?nancial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payables, which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A summary of the company?s ?nancial liabilities by category is given in note 17.5. Financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest?related charges and, if applicable, changes in an ins trument's fair value that are reported in pro?t or loss are included in the income statement. 6 Finance income The following amounts have been included in the income statement line for the reporting period presented: 2011 Bank interest receivable 14 Unrealised difference on exchange 5 l9 7 Loss for the period 2011 Loss for the period is stated after charging.

Outstanding balances are usually settled in cash. Balances with related parties are disclosed in notes 10 and 14.

Notes to the ?nancial statements (continued) 16 17 Related party transactions (continued) Transactions with key management personnel There were no transactions with key management personnel during the period under review. Risk management objectives and policies The company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk through its use of ?nancial instruments, which result from its operating activities. The company's risk management is coordinated by the directors and focuses on actively securing the company's short to medium term cash ?ows by minimising the exposure to ?nancial risks. The most signi?cant ?nancial risks to which the company is exposed to are described below. 17.1 Foreign currency risk The company transacts business in Euro and had no signi?cant foreign currency denominated ?nancial assets and liabilities at the end of the ?nancial reporting period under review. Consequently the company?s exposure to foreign currency risk is considered negligible. 17.2 Interest rate risk The company?s exposure to interest rate risk is limited since its borrowings do not carry any interest charge. 17.3 Credit risk The company?s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of ?nancial assets recognised at the end of the reporting period, as summarised below: 2011 Classes of ?nancial assets carrying amounts Loan receivable 33,766 Cash and cash equivalents 521 34,287 The company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identi?ed either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. In respect of trade and other receivables, the company is not exposed to any signi?cant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk for liquid funds is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Notes to the ?nancial statements (continued) 17 17.5 Risk management objectives and policies (continued) 17.4 Liquidity risk The company?s exposure to liquidity risk arises from its obligations to meet its ?nancial liabilities, which comprise borrowings and trade and other payables as disclosed in notes 14 and 15. Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining suf?cient cash and committed credit facilities to ensure the availability of an adequate amount of funding to meet the company?s obligations when they become due. The directors ensure that target inflows are received as required to enable the company to meet its ?nancial liabilities as they fall due. At 31 December 2011 the company?s ?nancial liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below: 201 1 Current Non-current Within 2-5 Later than 5 6 months 6-12 years years months F.

The company monitors the level of debt, which includes borrowings and trade and other payables less bank balances against total capital on an ongoing basis. The directors consider the company? gearing level at year end to be appropriate for its business. Events after the reporting period No adjusting or signi?cant non?adjusting events have occurred between the end of the reporting period and the date of authorisation of these ?nancial statements by the directors Contingent liabilities The company did not have any contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2011.
