GAMEPLAN, INC.
[A Development Stage Company]
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, shareholders loaned an additional $19,626 to the Company to pay operating expenses. The payable to shareholders accrued an additional $41,916 in interest for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred losses from inception, has a net working capital deficiency, and has no operating revenue source as of June 30, 2010. Financing the Companys activities to date has primarily been the result of borrowing from a shareholder and others. The Companys ability to achieve a level of profitable operations and/or additional financing may impact the Companys ability to continue as it is presently organized. Management plans include continued development of the business, as discussed in NOTE 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
NOTE 4 RECENTLY ENACTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13 for Revenue Recognition Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (Subtopic 605-25) Subtopic. This accounting standard update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue generating activities. Vendors often provide multiple products or services to their customers. Those deliverables often are provided at different points in time or over different time periods. Specifically, this Subtopic addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this guidance will affect the accounting and reporting for all vendors that enter into multiple-deliverable arrangements with their customers when those arrangements are within the scope of this Subtopic. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entitys fiscal year, the entity will apply the amendments under this Subtopic retrospectively from the beginning of the entitys fiscal year. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Currently, Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On August 11, 2004, the Company entered into a stock option agreement with a director of the Company. The options provide for the purchase of the 100,000 shares of Company common stock at $0.05 per share. These options are outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2010.
On October 17, 2008 the Board adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan and, pursuant to that Plan, adopted the following Incentive Stock Option Plan for each Director: Each Director (5) was given the option to purchase 100,000 Rule 144 shares of the common voting stock of GamePlan Inc. yearly for a period of 5 years at the strike price of twenty cents (.20 cents) per share through all option periods. Each option exercise period shall be for a term of three (3) years from the date of the option grant. The first option period commenced on the date of this meeting (Oct. 17, 2008). Subsequent options shall be granted on Oct. 17, 2010, Oct. 17, 2011, Oct. 17, 2012 and the final stock option grant on Oct. 17, 2013 on condition that the Directors are Directors at the time of the subsequent option grants. The Company determined that all 2,500,000 were technically granted on October 17, 2008 based on the guidance in FASB ASC 798. The Company and the Directors have a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award. The Directors are immediately affected by changes in the Companys share price. The Company is obligated to issue the options if the director satisfies the performance requirement. Finally, all necessary approvals were obtained. In all events, GamePlan Inc. shall have the right of first refusal to meet the sale price of the stock.
A summary of the status of the Companys option plans as of December 31, 2009, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010, is presented below:

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of this valuation model requires the use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of the expected term employees will retain their vested warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our stock price, and the number of warrants that will be forfeited prior to the completion of their vesting requirements. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amounts recognized in our statements of operations. The following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: Grants made in October 2008: average risk-free interest rate of 1.9%; expected lives of 3 years; expected dividend yield of zero percent; expected volatility of 624%.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
From time to time, our representatives or we have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project or projected", or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the discussion of certain important factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.
Management is currently unaware of any trends or conditions other than those mentioned in this management's discussion and analysis that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, future results of operations, or liquidity. However, investors should also be aware of factors that could have a negative impact on the Company's prospects and the consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and generation of capital resources. These include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii) possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise raise adequate funds from any source should the Company seek to do so, (iii) increased governmental regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable outcomes to litigation involving the Company or to which the Company may become a party in the future and, (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing operating environment.
The risks identified here and in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 are not all inclusive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.
The information set forth in the following discussion should be read with the financial statements of Gameplan, Inc. included elsewhere herein.
Business Overview
For the last several years the Company attempted to bring to market through mergers or acquisitions comprehensive business plans described in the Companys previous Annual Reports. After many years of focused efforts to do so, we have not been able to gain traction for these plans. The game plan did not work and had to change.
The difficult but obvious conclusion is that the best interest of our shareholders dictates a change from those business plans back to the business plan that the Company originally employed and in which we have considerable expertise. That plan, summarized in the Company History that follows, is to acquire, develop, manage and/or consult gaming opportunities and gaming related opportunities throughout the world, (New Plan).

Summary of Company history
The Company (Qsip # 36465 c 10 5, Tax I.D. # 870493596, publicly traded under the symbol GPLA.OB) was incorporated in Utah on August 26, 1981 under the name Sunbeam Solar, Inc. On April 27, 1984, common stock was sold publicly. During the latter part of 1991, Robert G. Berry purchased ninety percent (90%) of the Companys stock. On December 23, 1991 the Company merged with GamePlan, Inc., a Nevada public corporation. From 1992 to 1995 GamePlan actively sought gaming opportunities both in Indian and non-Indian venues and had gaming consulting contracts with the Menominee Tribe in Wisconsin and the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona. From 1996 until the present time the Company has been a public shell and is current in all regulatory filings required of bulletin board companies. Of the 50 million shares authorized there are 15,225,000 shares outstanding with no appreciable market value. As of June 30, 2010, the Company is indebted to its controlling shareholders in the amount of $996,920.
Summary of the New Plan
The New Plan of the Company is to focus on owning, operating, managing and/or consulting on gaming and gaming related projects throughout the world. The Company will hire employees as needed and focus on acquiring existing profitable traditional gaming properties and ancillary gaming development opportunities together with seeking opportunities for development, management and consulting services with American Indian Gaming Tribes. The Company will also closely monitor emerging gaming jurisdiction in and out of the United States and make appropriate acquisitions and/or participate in joint ventures.
Each of these acquisitions/property development projects will be in separate entities that will be owned in whole or by a majority of the stock ownership in the Company. Each subsidiary will be responsible for operating not more than one gaming facility.
Regulation
Gaming regulation generally
Extensive federal, state, provincial, tribal and/or local laws, regulations and ordinances, which are administered by the appropriate regulatory agency or agencies in each jurisdiction (the Regulatory Authorities), govern the ownership, management, and operation of gaming facilities. These laws, rules, regulations and ordinances vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; however, each are directed to the responsibility, financial stability and character of the owners and managers of gaming operations as well as persons financially interested or involved in gaming operations.
Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company will own, manage, operate or consult relative to a gaming facility or gaming related facility unless proper licenses, permits and approvals are obtained. An application for a license, permit or approval may be denied for any cause. Most Regulatory Authorities also have the right to license, investigate, and determine the suitability of any person who has a significant relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including officers, directors, employees, and security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries. In the event a Regulatory Authority were to find a security holder to be unsuitable, the Company could be sanctioned and may lose its licenses and approvals if the Company recognizes any rights in any entity with such unsuitable person in connection with such securities. The Company will be required to repurchase its securities at fair market value from security holders that the Regulatory Authorities deem unsuitable.
The Companys Articles of Incorporation will be amended to authorize the Company to redeem securities held by persons whose status as a security holder, in the opinion of the Companys Board of Directors, jeopardizes gaming licenses or approvals of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Once obtained, licenses, permits, and approvals must be periodically renewed in some jurisdictions and not in others and generally are not transferable. The Regulatory Authorities may at any time revoke, suspend, condition, limit, or restrict a license for any cause they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable.
9
Fines for violations may be levied against the holder of a license, and in some jurisdictions, gaming operation revenues may be forfeited to the state. No assurance can be given that any licenses, permits, or approvals will be obtained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, if obtained, will be renewed or not revoked in the future. In addition, the rejection or termination of a license, permit, or approval of the Company or any of its employees or security holders in any jurisdiction may have adverse consequences in other jurisdictions. Certain jurisdictions require gaming operators licensed therein to seek approval from the state before conducting gaming in other jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries may be required to submit detailed financial and operating reports to Regulatory Authorities.
The political and regulatory environment for gaming is dynamic and rapidly changing. The laws, regulations and procedures pertaining to gaming are subject to the interpretation of the Regulatory Authorities and may be amended. Any changes in such laws, regulations or their interpretations could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Indian gaming regulation generally
The terms and conditions of management contracts or management related contracts for the operation, and under certain circumstances consulting, of Indian-owned casinos, and of all gaming on Indian land in the United States, are subject to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Authority (IGRA). IGRA is administered by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC). Certain contracts, such as pure development contracts without a management contract, are subject to the provisions of statutes relating to contracts with Indian tribes, which are administered by the Secretary of the Interior (the Secretary) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) under USC section 81. The regulations and guidelines under which NIGC will administer the IGRA are evolving. The IGRA and those regulations and guidelines are subject to interpretation by the Secretary and NIGC and may be subject to judicial and legislative clarification or amendment.
The Company may need to provide the BIA or NIGC with background information on each of its directors and every shareholder who holds five percent or more of the Company issued and outstanding stock (5% Shareholders), including a complete financial statement, a description of such persons business history and gaming experience as well as listing the jurisdictions in which such person holds gaming licenses. Background investigations of key employees also may be required. The Companys Articles of Incorporation will be amended to contain provisions requiring directors and 5% Shareholders to provide such information.
The IGRA currently requires NIGC to approve management contracts and certain collateral agreements for Indian-owned casinos. The NIGC may review any of the Companys management contracts and collateral agreements for compliance with the IGRA at any time in the future. The NIGC will not approve a management contract if a director or a 5% Shareholder of the management company (i) is an elected member of the Indian tribal government that owns the facility purchasing or leasing the games; (ii) has been or is convicted of a felony gaming offense; (iii) has knowingly and willfully provided materially false information to the NIGC or the tribe; (iv) has refused to respond to questions from the NIGC; or (v) is a person whose prior history, reputation and associations pose a threat to the public interest or to effective gaming regulation and control, or create or enhance the chance of unsuitable activities in gaming or the business and financial arrangements incidental thereto.
Additionally, the NIGC will not approve a management contract if the management company or any of its agents have attempted to unduly influence any decision or process of tribal government relating to gaming, or if the management company has materially breached the terms of the management contract or the tribes gaming ordinance, or a trustee exercising due diligence would not approve such management contract.
A management contract can be approved only after NIGC determines that the contract provides, among other things, for (i) adequate accounting procedures and verifiable financial reports, which must be furnished to the tribe; (ii) tribal access to the daily operations of the gaming enterprise, including the right to verify daily gross revenues and income; (iii) minimum guaranteed payments to the tribe, which must have priority over the retirement of development and construction costs; (iv) a ceiling on the repayment of such development and construction costs; and (v) a contract term not exceeding five years and a management fee not exceeding 30% of profits; provided that the NIGC may approve up to a seven-year term if NIGC is satisfied that the capital investment required, the risk exposure, and the income projections for the particular gaming activity justify the longer term.
10
The IGRA established three separate classes of tribal gaming Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I includes all traditional or social games played by a tribe in connection with celebrations or ceremonies. Class II gaming includes games such as bingo, pull-tabs, punch boards, instant bingo and card games in which the players bet against other players. Class III gaming includes casino-style gaming including table games such as blackjack, craps and roulette, as well as gaming machines such as slots, video poker, lotteries, and pari-mutuel wagering in which players bet against the gaming operation, otherwise referred to as betting against the house..
The IGRA prohibits substantially all forms of Class III gaming unless the tribe has entered into a written agreement with the state in which the casino is located specifically authorizing the types of commercial gaming the tribe may offer (a tribal-state compact). The IGRA requires states to negotiate in good faith with tribes that seek tribal-state compacts, and grants Indian tribes the right to seek a federal court order to compel such negotiations with default provisions if the state does not negotiate in good faith. Many states have refused to enter into such negotiations. Tribes in several states have sought federal court orders to compel such negotiations under the IGRA; however, the Supreme Court of the United States held in 1996 that the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution immunizes states from suit by Indian tribes in federal court without the states consent.
Because Indian tribes are currently unable to compel states to negotiate tribal-state compacts, The Company may not be able to develop and manage casinos in states that refuse to enter into or renew tribal-state compacts.
In addition to the IGRA, tribal-owned gaming facilities on Indian land are subject to a number of other federal statutes. The operation of gaming on Indian land is dependent upon whether the law of the state in which the casino is located permits gaming by non-Indian entities, which will change over time as more and more jurisdictions seek entry into the casino business so as to receive painless sin taxes rather than having their citizens travel to adjacent states to engage in gaming activities there. Any such changes will significantly increase competition with non-Indian gaming and that will have a material adverse effect on the casinos managed by The Company.
Title 25, Section 81 of the United States Code states that no agreement shall be made by any person with any tribe of Indians, or individual Indians not citizens of the United States, for the payment or delivery of any money or other thing of value in consideration of services for said Indians relative to their lands unless such contract or agreement be executed and approved by the Secretary or his or her designee. An agreement or contract for services relative to Indian lands that fails to conform with the requirements of Section 81 will be void and unenforceable. Any money or other thing of value paid to any person by any Indian or tribe for or on his or their behalf, on account of such services, in excess of any amount approved by the Secretary or his or her authorized representative will be subject to forfeiture.
The Indian Trader Licensing Act, Title 25, Section 261-64 of the United States Code (ITLA) states that any person other than an Indian of the full blood who shall attempt to reside in the Indian country, or on any Indian reservation, as a trader, or to introduce goods, or to trade therein, without such license, shall forfeit all merchandise offered for sale to the Indians or found in his possession, and shall moreover be liable to a penalty of $500. . . No such licenses have been issued to The Company to date. The applicability of the ITLA to Indian gaming management contracts is unclear. The Company believes that the ITLA is not applicable to its management contracts, under which The Company provides services rather than goods to Indian tribes. The Company further believes that the ITLA has been superseded by the IGRA.
Indian tribes are sovereign nations with their own governmental systems which have primary regulatory authority over gaming on land within the tribes jurisdiction. Because of their sovereign status, Indian tribes possess immunity from lawsuits to which the tribes have not otherwise consented or otherwise waived their sovereign immunity defense. Therefore, no contractual obligations undertaken by tribes to the Company would be enforceable by the Company unless the tribe has expressly waived its sovereign immunity as to such obligations. Courts strictly construe such waivers. Additionally, persons engaged in gaming activities, including the Company, are subject to the provisions of tribal ordinances and regulations on gaming. These ordinances are subject to review by NIGC under certain standards established by the IGRA.
11
Non-gaming regulation generally
The Company and its subsidiaries to be formed are subject to certain federal, state, and local safety and health laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to non-gaming businesses generally, such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Resource Conservation Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Coverage and attendant compliance costs associated with such laws, regulations and ordinances may result in future additional cost to our operations.

Plan of Operation
The New Plan of the Company is to focus on owning, operating, managing and/or consulting on gaming and gaming related projects throughout the world. The Company will reorganize its Board of Directors and Officers, hire employees as needed and focus on acquiring existing profitable traditional gaming properties and ancillary gaming development opportunities together with seeking opportunities for development, management and consulting services with American Indian Gaming Tribes. The Company will also closely monitor emerging gaming jurisdictions in and out of the United States and make appropriate acquisitions and/or participate in joint ventures.
Each of these acquisitions/property development projects will be in separate entities that will be owned in whole or by a majority of the stock ownership in the Company. Each subsidiary will be responsible for operating not more than one gaming facility.
The Company will assemble a strong team of gaming industry experts that have superior expertise and successful track-records in all aspects of casino development, construction and management. Further, the Company has access to individual specialists mirroring each of the functional areas found in a casino project. The functional areas include design, construction & development, gaming operations, hospitality, finance/accounting, legal/regulatory, security systems, information technology, retail, marketing, entertainment and human resources.
The Company believes this team when developed will represent a valuable asset that will provide a competitive advantage in creating and enhancing relationships with Indian tribes in the Indian casino business and in the pursuit of non-Indian casino opportunities.
There have been no material developments towards implementation, funding, or development of the New Plan. No elements of the New Plan have been implemented and the Company has no revenues from business operations. Accordingly, there are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with investment in the Company which are more fully set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for December 31, 2009.
There may be market or other barriers to entry or unforeseen factors, which could render the New Plan to be not feasible. Accordingly, the Company may refine, rewrite, or abandon some or all elements of the New Plan, which might benefit the Company and its shareholders.
Apart from any cash requirements necessary to implement the New Plan, the Company will continue to incur expenses relating to maintenance of the Company in good standing, filing required reports with the SEC and other regulatory agencies, and investigating potential business ventures. The Company believes that such additional maintenance expenses will be advanced by management or principal stockholders as loans to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the management or stockholders will continue to advance operating funds to the Company.
