KENILWORTH SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Kenilworth Systems Corporation and subsidiaries (“Kenilworth”) contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2002(unaudited) and December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and statement of cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

NOTE 2 - THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Kenilworth Systems Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in New York in April 1968 and now plans to be engaged in the business of developing and manufacturing terminals that permit individuals from remote locations, to play along with live in-progress casino table games located outside the casino confines via TV (simulcast) satellite broadcast around the world.

 

The Company was in bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 7 and 11 of the Bankruptcy Code for the period from August 28, 1982 through September 23, 1998. The Company ceased all operations, between February 2, 1991 through September 23,1998.

 

The Company emerged from Chapter 7 bankruptcy on September 23, 1998 and plans to be engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing and operation of a systems that allows casino patrons to play along with live table games in-progress via TV satellite broadcasts on terminals located outside the casino confines.

 

NOTE 3 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kenilworth Systems Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Video Wagering Systems Corporation, Roulabette Nevada Corporation and Kenilworth Systems Nevada Corporation. None of these subsidiaries has any assets or liabilities.

 

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Company computes and presents earnings (loss) per share in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share”.

 

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, which were ($.00), ($.00), and ($.00)

 

6

 

for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the periods September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001.

 

Diluted earnings per share have not been presented in the accompanying financial statements because the effect of assumed conversion of convertible promissory notes was anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes in accordance With requirements of SFAS No. 109.

 

The Company is a “C” Corporation for tax purposes.

 

The Company estimates that it has available approximately $9,000,000 in net operating loss carry-forwards, which expire at various dates through 2020. Utilization of the NOL carry-forward may be limited under various sections of the Internal Revenue Code depending on the nature of the Company’s operations.

 

The Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $2,800,000 arising from its net operating loss carry- forwards. The deferred tax asset has been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of future realization.

 

NOTE 6 - USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial statements include cash, receivables, pre-paid expenses and accounts payable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded values.

 

NOTE 8 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and Equipment are stated at cost. For financial reporting purposes, property and equipment are depreciated utilizing the Straight-Line Method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

 

 

7

 

Property and Equipment consist of the following

as of September 30, 2002 and

September 30, 2001

 

		Nine-months ended September 30
		2002			2001
Office Equipment		$	2,939		$	2,939
Vehicles		8,500			8,500
		$	11,439		$	11,439
Less-Accumulated Amortization		8,500			2,288
Total Property and Equipment, Net		$	2,939		$	9,151

 

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was $8,500 and $2,288 respectively.

 

NOTE 9 - DUE TO/FROM SHAREHOLDERS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

 

Due to/from shareholders at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 represents advances made to a stockholder of the Company or loaned to the Company in the normal course of business. Such amounts are non-interest bearing and have no definite repayment terms.

 

NOTE 10 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

During the first and second quarters, January 15 through June 30,2002, the Company sold twelve (12) of fifteen (15) authorized by the Board of Directors, ten thousand dollar ($10,000) Convertible Promissory Notes to present shareholders of the Company.  All the notes are convertible into restricted Common Stock of the Company.  All Holders of the Convertible Promissory Notes converted their Notes.

 

NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

 

As indicated in Note 2, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company emerged from Chapter 7 in September 1998 and has not yet commenced operations.  These factors create uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to operate as a going-concern. Management plans to simulcast live in-progress casino table game action via digital satellite transmission around the world. The Company plans to obtain the necessary funding by offering its common stock, or Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares in a private placement, or selling limited joint venture participations in future “play along with casino game” franchises.  There can be no assurances the Company can be successful in obtaining such financing.

 

8

 

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company is a going-concern and do not reflect adjustments, if any, that would be necessary if the Company were not a going-concern.

 

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

OUTSTANDING PAYROLL TAXES

 

As of year-end, 2000, the Internal Revenue Service is contending that the Company owes payroll taxes including interest and penalties totaling almost four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) for various periods from 1985-1991. The Company is currently in negotiations with the IRS to resolve these issues. In management’s opinion, no accruals are necessary since it believes that these assessments are incorrect and were discharged in its bankruptcy proceedings. Similar contentions were made by the New York State Income Tax Authorities, which have been officially cancelled by New York State on July 1, 2002.

 

NOTE 13 - STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Company does not plan, at this time, to make any adjustments to it’s financials as the result of issuing stock options totaling three million five hundred thousand (3,500,000) common shares of the Company.  The exercise price of the stock options are well above the price per share of the common stock for the last five (5) years.

 

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Since we emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on September 23, 1998 we have had no revenues from operations. We sustained substantial losses from general administrative expenses amounting to $421,491 in 2001, $136,589 in 2000 and for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 we sustained losses from general administrative expenses amounting to $428,900 compared to a loss of $317,935 for the nine-months ending September 30, 2002. Kenilworth has had no revenues from operations during the past ten (10) years and there can be no assurances that it will ever have revenues from present planned operations.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our present plans are to develop a wagering system dubbed “Roulabette” that would allow patrons all over the industrialized world to play and wager on live simulcast casino table games on terminals placed in hotels, resorts, bars and other public gathering places and in homes and offices on personal computers (PC’s) or television sets connected to set top boxes for Interactive TV via digital satellite or cable broadcasts emanating from strictly regulated U.S. casinos.

 

The first step will be to conduct a one (1) month test of the system at a casino site to prove the viability of broadcasting live in-progress table games around the world.

 

To conduct the tests Kenilworth believes it will require initially five million dollars ($5,000,000) to (a) purchase computers, digital television broadcast

 

9

 

equipment and table games; and, (b) defray the cost of the facility and pay the salaries of six (6) employees who are specialists in software design, TV broadcasts, and mechanical design, for a period of eighteen (18) months, and from time to time, consultants who will assist the design team. In order to market Project Roulabette while the development of the terminals proceeds we will require an additional five million dollars ($5,000,000) to hire management and marketing people to secure future orders for the system.

 

Unless we are able to obtain these funds, of which there are no assurances none of the tests and initial development work can commence; and we will not be able to commence our planned business.

 

Kenilworth plans to obtain the necessary funding by offering in a Private Placement, Common Shares, Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares and/or by the sale of limited joint venture participations in future Roulabette franchises. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any of these funds.

 

When the tests are completed and we have obtained approval from the Nevada gaming control regulators to broadcast the live in progress casino table games and has contracts with franchisees to place terminals around the world and franchise television broadcasters, we expect to commence normal business. Kenilworth will also seek to obtain production financing from regular banking sources to finance the manufacturing of the Roulabette terminals. There can be no assurances that any such financing will be available to us.

b)  On July 12, 2002 Kenilworth filed an 8-K in which the Company reported the following event:

 

Herbert Lindo, Chairman and President of Kenilworth Systems Corporation (“Kenilworth”) since 1972, advised the Company’s Board of Directors that on June 26, 2002 the Sheriff of Nassau County (the “Sheriff”) sold at a purported Public Auction Sale (the “Sale”), 10,333,450 restricted common shares of Kenilworth Systems Corporation (the “Shares”) that he had owned and which represented control (14% of the outstanding shares) of Kenilworth, for one-thousand dollars ($1,000) or $0.000095 per share. The Shares were sold to Tappan Zee Capital Corp. (“Tappan Zee”). On the date of the Sale the Shares had a market value in excess of nine hundred thousand dollars ($900,000). The Sheriff seized and sold the Shares on behalf of Tappan Zee, as a result of a claim by Tappan Zee in a disputed civil suit brought in the New York State Supreme Court for $128,062.  Tappan Zee was both the foreclosing party and the purchaser.

 

Kenilworth claims that the Sheriff’s Auction Sale was conducted in a fraudulent manner, by (1) failing to comply with the rules and regulations set forth under the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1933 and 1934, as amended (the “Acts”), and (2) by failing to properly advertise the Sale, failing to notify any or all Kenilworth shareholder’s (numbering approximately 5,500), and (3) failing to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission before conducting the sale or in the absence of registering the shares, or obtain a No-Action letter from the Commission permitting the Public Sale, and (4) by making an immediate distribution of the shares, and (5) by failing to file required notices 13 D-G as provided under the Acts.  Tappan Zee and its Counsel and the Sheriff’s department were advised in court documents and

 

11

 

correspondence that their acts violated Federal and State Securities Laws, prior to the Sale.

 

Kenilworth will seek in the Federal Courts to cancel the 10,333,450 shares, which were the subject of the Sheriff Auction Sale, and seek triple damages under RICO on behalf of the shareholders of Kenilworth.

 

Subsequent Events

 

(a)                  The Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Kenilworth took place on July 17, 2002.  At the meeting Herbert Lindo, Kit Wong and Joyce Clark, the incumbent and four (4) new management endorsed directors: Gino Scotto, Patrick J. Mc Devitt, Steve Donner, and Preston Smart were unanimously elected by the shareholders.

 

There were no other proposals presented at the meeting.

 

(b)                 The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of five million (5,000,000) shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Corporation to the Directors in lieu of compensation and liability insurance for the ensuing year.

 

(c)                  On October 11, 1002 the Board of Directors unanimously agreed to ask Preston Smart to resign from the Corporation’s Board of Directors. As a member of the Board, Preston Smart and the Corporation may be faced with a possible conflict of interest in future planned objectives by the Corporation.

 

(d)                 On October 11, 2002 the Board of Directors unanimously elected Maureen Plovnick, the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation and Kenilworth Systems Nevada Corporation, to the Board of Directors.

 

Herbert Lindo, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Kenilworth Systems Corporation hereby certifies under penalty of perjury to the accuracy of the within report on Form 10-Q for the three (3) and nine (9) months periods ended September 30, 2002.
