ITEM 1DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Kenilworth Systems Corporation, hereinafter referred to as Kenilworth or we, was incorporated on April 25, 1968 under the laws of the State of New York.
PLANNED BUSINESS
Kenilworths business presently is solely in the planning stage. We plan to engage in the development, manufacturing and marketing of an operation entitled Roulabette. Roulabette would allow casino patrons and other players to play along with live in-progress casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat and more via digital satellite and digital cable television broadcasts (simulcasts) emanating from strictly regulated casinos located in the United States and other locations around the world, to self-sufficient computer terminals dubbed Roulabette and digital satellite and cable TV set top boxes. The
4
Roulabette terminal is a concept intended to be built and there can be no assurances that it will ever be built. The microprocessor to be installed in the TV set top boxes have not been designed. We have as at December 31, 2003, no agreements, customers or proposals for any future business and there can be no assurances that we will ever have same.
Our present plans are to develop a wagering system that would allow patrons throughout the industrialized world to play and wager on live casino table games called Roulabette which can be viewed and wagered upon in hotels, resorts, bars and other public gathering places and in homes and offices on personal computers (PCs) or television sets connected to set top boxes for Interactive TV via digital satellite and digital cable broadcasts emanating from strictly regulated casinos.
On March 28, 2002, the Company had entered into a contract with Archon Corporation for a thirty (30) day test to simulcast live in-progress roulette table game action that eventually could allow players worldwide to wager along with table players at Archons Pioneer Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. The test, a world first, was to demonstrate to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and other U.S. and foreign Gaming Regulators that have regulated gaming forums, such as lotteries, racing, OTB, etc., the benefits of the Kenilworth Play Along with Nevada Live concept.
The Nevada Gaming Authorities must approve any contracts between Kenilworth, a casino operator and the simulcast test proposal before any test can take place.
The proposed live test was cancelled by mutual consent. It was determined that the proposed simulcasts of live in-progress casino table games, had first to be approved by the Nevada State Legislature in the form of a legislative bill, permitting the Live Game Broadcasts from Nevada.
The Nevada State Legislature meets for only ninety (90) days once every two (2) years. The current session began on February 3, 2003. We retained lobbyists and legislative advisors to introduce legislation that, if approved, will establish the regulatory framework for worldwide simulcasts, via digital satellite transmission of live, in-progress, casino table game play. The Nevada Senate Committee on Judiciary comprised of seven (7) Senators met on April 8, 2003 and after hearing testimony from various interested parties, and the Company, failed to take any action on the bill to enact provisions governing live game broadcasts (BDR 41-1174) because of lack of time available for further hearings.
(The thirty-six [36] page minutes of the Nevada Senate Judiciary hearing are available on www.leg.state.nv.us/72nd/minutes/senate/jud/final/2562.html.)
If the proposed legislative bill had been passed and signed by the State of Nevadas governor, Kenilworth would have initially broadcast Roulette, Craps and Baccarat games to jurisdictions around the industrialized world. As the result of the failure to act upon the legislation, Kenilworth is in active negotiations with the owners of the seventy-five thousand (75,000) square foot Dynasty Hotel and Resort Casino located in Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. Commonwealth and the Authorities of the Northern Marians, the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission and the office of the Mayor of Tinian, all of which will share in the net revenue earned by Kenilworth from the live game broadcast primarily to the Asian market. This market consists of an estimated one hundred seventy million (170,000,000) satellite and cable subscribers, all of whom are potential wagerers.
It may be that in order for hotels not to be required to obtain casino licenses in their jurisdictions to offer Roulabette, they may have to limit the wagering to minimal amounts, so as to qualify the games as entertainment for registered hotel guests. Resort gaming may establish a trend for the entire hotel industry worldwide.
In the event a substantial amount is won by a player, Kenilworth will make payment to the winner, via money wire transfer to the establishment which managed the wager within twenty-four (24) hours. Kenilworth will establish a worldwide cage for winning payments; or, a guarantee of payment by a well-recognized international bank.
5
When playing along with live table games from a highly regulated jurisdiction, players will be assured that the game results are exactly what they see; and, playing along with casino table games such as roulette, craps and baccarat we believe will provide interaction, fun and far more excitement than playing make believe animated (virtual) games. It is the next best thing we believe to actually being at the table.
To conduct the initial broadcast Kenilworth believes it will require ten million dollars ($10,000,000) and there are no assurances we will ever be able to obtain any of such money. At present, the Company does not have the funds available but hopes to obtain same, from investors, as soon as Kenilworth can commence broadcasting from the Dynasty casino and other casinos throughout the world.
In prior years, Kenilworth completed a prototype system that allowed casino patrons to play along with live in-progress casino table games only within the confines of a casino, via closed circuit television. Also in 1990, we developed and delivered for the TAB (Totalizator Agency Board) a quasy government agency of the State of Victoria, Australia, a cashless slot machine system. Both systems required debit cards and central mainframe computers to manage the wagers. By making use of the expertise applied in the development of the aforementioned systems we plan to develop a second-generation system that will manage the wagers by the microprocessor installed in TV Set Top boxes to receive satellite broadcasts. This as planned would allow a player in an interactive manner, at a remote location (outside the casino confines), to experience the actual play and excitement at the casino table game and to make wagers on the various games, without having to be physically present at the casino or casino table. There are no assurances we will be able to successfully develop any system.
The proposed system dubbed Roulabette also will provide Roulabette terminals that may be placed in resorts, racetracks or other gathering places which consists of a personal computer (PC) with two (2) monitors. One monitor will display the live in-progress casino table game play as well as advertising. The second, which will be outfitted with a touch screen, allows a player to place wagers directly over the games displayed on the first monitor. It will also have a variable denomination bill acceptor and a bar code ticket dispenser. Both monitors will be housed in an attractive enclosure. The Roulabette terminal will be the size of a typical low boy slot machine (desk top height). Each terminal would be self-sufficient, manages wagers from $0.25 to $100.00 or the equivalent in most any currency, and receives the table game play via simulcast digital satellite TV transmissions (with dish antennas) or local cable connection from legally operating casinos throughout the industrialized world.
Where authorized, hotels, resorts clubs and other public gathering places will be able to offer casino table game action in their establishments without incurring the costs to operate a casino. The Roulabette terminal is expected to offer an alternative to slot machine players. There are now believed to be more than ten (10) million slot machines played throughout the world.
Kenilworth will seek to promote to state lotteries and foreign jurisdictions, and other state regulated entities, the ability to operate websites that will manage the wagers. The program will ask state legislatures to amend their lottery horse/dog racing and OTB legislation to include Roulabette wagering or promulgate new legislation. There are no assurances that the necessary approvals will be granted.
We believe there are powerful arguments for state legislatures to amend their Lottery Acts to include Play Along with Roulabette Live. Lottery revenue is gradually decreasing in every state. Thirty-two (32) states and the District of Columbia are pooling their lottery prizes with the Power Ball and Big Game national lotteries. In most of these states, the state lottery finds it difficult to obtain sufficient numbers of players to make up a minimum weekly lottery prize of one million dollars ($1,000,000). In most states, the revenue from lottery play benefits education. States need something more attractive to restore revenue. With Play Along with Roulabette Live, there is interaction, excitement and fun. All which we believe may be at much better odds than may be offered by the lotteries. The lotteries can establish maximum wagers daily, weekly and monthly limits, and monitor compulsive gamblers, and limit their play by use of lottery terminals to make deposits in cash to wager along.

FOCUS
Casino table game broadcast live on TV, and interactive!
by Julien Favre, Chief Editor, iTVi
Subscribers to digital satellite and cable programs will soon be able to bet as they watch live, in-progress casino table game action, thanks to a new (a patented) system developed by Kenilworth Systems Corporation that will involve States lotteries...
Bet As You Watch Casino
The Bet As You Watch Casino service will be deployed in conjunction with States Lotteries. Digital TV subscribers will go to their local lottery agents and buy an admission ticket. The ticket will allow them to access the interactive service.
The service will consist of television simulcast broadcasts of live in-progress casino table game action. Viewers will be able to bet exactly as they were in the casino playing at the table.
The program will include Hollywood entertainment and commentators (much like commentators of sporting events) in order to assist players with the rules and strategies of the games.
Distribution
The first viewers to access
the service will probably be Asians. Kenilworth is presently actively exploring
casino broadcast sites to the Asian market, which has twice as many digital
satellite subscribers than the U.S. and U.K. combined.
A highly regulated initiative
Exclusively licensing lotteries and their operators for the cash deposits required for wagering on the programs will assist Kenilworth in its efforts to make sure the under aged wont participate in the casino action. Lottery Terminal Operators must observe the minimum age laws under criminal penalty.
A special effort will also be made to identify compulsive gamblers. By monitoring all wagering action, the system will be able to identify problematic gamblers and limit or shut down their obsessive gambling habits.
Business model
Revenues from the admission tickets will be split between Kenilworth and the State lotteries, OTB offices and Race track owners.
Technology
Kenilworth has been granted a U.S. Patent for the interactive television wagering system in June 2003, which Patent has also been filed in forty-nine (49) countries including China and Russia.
7
The Patent was assigned to the Company when it was pending in 2000 by its inventor Herbert Lindo.
Kenilworths technology involves a microprocessor that is incorporated in the TV Set Top Box used by the viewer to receive the digital satellite broadcasts. The microprocessor manages the wagers.
Once play along in homes and other public gathering places has started, we intend to introduce casino games such as limited tournament play. For twenty-five dollars ($25.00), players would be able to sign up with their respective lottery operators and make up to thirty (30) wagers on any table game. The individual that wins the most money during a specific tournament game period may win as much as a million dollars ($1,000,000) in addition to their game play win. As more interactive play along with casino games develops throughout the world, the prizes can be increased and multiplied. The limited tournament play games can be scheduled more than once a day, during specific hours of the day, on specific days or nights of the week or once or twice a month. Actual live experience will determine scheduling.
The gaming industry is comprised primarily of five (5) service industries: (1) traditional pari-mutuel wagering on horse and dog racing; (2) casino, Indian Reservations, and riverboat gambling; (3) lotteries; (4) charitable organization gambling (Bingo and Las Vegas Nights); and (5) Sports book.
Kenilworth intends to operate primarily in the casino segment.
KENILWORTH MANIFEST
(The Manifest contains forward-looking statements
which is based upon our beliefs and expectations of which there can be no assurances.
See Risk Factors contained in Item 7)
Casino gambling throughout the world, in every form, is on the increase. Most jurisdictions need the revenue from gambling to balance their budgets or increase their tax collection. Recently a newspaper report published in the Wall Street Journal in March 2004 indicated that nineteen (19) states are exploring to use gambling to raise funding needed for schools and other tax relief.
Kenilworth Systems Corporation expects to be able to provide, of which there can be no assurances, simulcast gaming worldwide, giving everyone the opportunity of playing a casino table game as if they were on the floor of a major casinos. This project would provide all of the benefits and actual excitement of playing in a casino as actually being at the casino. Gaming enthusiasts will welcome the chance to place wagers on live in-progress casino table games, whether they are at a local tavern, hotel, resort, racetrack or other public gathering place, or at home. Kenilworth hopes to be able to lead the industry in this area, and its Patent and Patent pending and its technology we believe would allow all of this to happen of which there can be no assurances.
Our proposed system has the potential to replace the existing one thousand (1,000) foreign virtual gambling websites now in play, which garnished more than five (5) billion dollars from U.S. citizens in 2003 violating the 1961 Wire Act without paying any U.S. taxes. We expect that players will prefer to Play Along with a Live Casino Game versus a virtual make believe game, assisting the U.S. Attorney Generals Office curbing illegal wagering in the United States by foreign website operators and enticing the public into wagering illegally.
Initially, the proposed broadcasts will be of Roulette, Craps and Baccarat games.
We may franchise the simulcast which may allow broadcasts to jurisdictions that have approved gaming regulations.
8
Kenilworth will offer to share a percentage of its worldwide net winnings with the state, and other foreign jurisdictions, and the appropriate sponsoring casinos.
All franchisees will be required to make the broadcasts available to digital satellite and digital cable subscribers in their jurisdictions. Kenilworth, as part of its marketing plan, will supply the appropriate TV, cable, and interactive equipment (for betting terminals) to the franchisee.
The various Regulatory Authorities will monitor all franchisees of the Kenilworth System. A violation of their regulations by a franchisee may result in a termination of the franchise.
For Play Along With Roulabette, Live a franchisee will be required to provide the at home player with the ability to deposit funds into their pre-paid gambling accounts anytime, and on the spur of the moment.
We hope to provide Licensed Betting Offices (bookmakers) in Europe, lottery operators and OTB offices in the U.S., to manage the wagering accounts for at home players. They will be able to accept last minute deposits. In jurisdictions, which have lottery terminals in place, arrangements will be made with the lottery to accept instant deposits and pay winners, using the lottery terminals as the managing device.
A player will simply mark a ticket with his/her Set Top Box and TV set Identification Number, together with the amount to be deposited. From that point on, the procedure is the same as selecting lottery numbers. A winner can be paid using the reverse procedure.
Betting offices and lottery terminal providers will either share in the net win managed by each, or be paid a fixed commission for the amount deposited.
Where authorized, hotels, resorts, clubs, pubs, racetracks and other public gathering places (the site) will be able to offer casino table game action in their establishments without incurring casino operating costs. At our expense, we will place Roulabette terminals and/or advanced PDAs at the site, enabling wagering via the sites television sets.
It may be that in order for hotels not to be required to obtain casino licenses to offer Roulabette, they may have to limit the wagering to minimal amounts, so as to qualify the games as entertainment for registered hotel guests. Resort gaming we believe will establish a trend for the entire hotel industry.
In the event a substantial amount is won by a player, Kenilworth will make payment to the winner, via money wire transfer to the establishment within twenty-four (24) hours. Kenilworth will establish a worldwide cash cage for winning payments; or, a guarantee of payment by a well-recognized international bank.
In August 2002, the Attorney General of the United States Office informed the Nevada Gaming Control Board (Chairman and Commissioner Dennis Neilander, Esq.) that Internet wagering is in violation of the 1961 Wire Act and, therefore, cannot be permitted in the United States or transmitted from the United States to other countries in the world. Previously, the Nevada State Legislature had approved Internet gambling (February 2001) subject to the approval by the U.S. Attorney Generals office. Nevada is the only state that approved Internet gambling. Most states have outlawed Internet gambling. Others have taken no action.
Our proposed simulcast, via digital satellites, will not use a wire transmission and communication facility. We are not within the constraints of the Internet gambling interdiction. Our broadcast is similar to horseracing and sporting events, where the simulcast is transmitted via satellites to the various satellite dish subscribers, and then downloaded to cable companies. Licensed Betting Offices, OTB offices and racetracks that offer out of state horse racing would pick up the satellite broadcasts with their own dish antennas. We believe broadcasting casino play action via satellite transmission within state boundaries does not violate the Federal 1961 Wire Act. We further believe it will be permitted by the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, USC 300, Et. Seq. There can be no assurances of the foregoing.
9
Last September, the House of Representatives voted and passed the Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which bans credit and debit cards, checks, Western Union type wire transmission and all other means of transferring money for use in connection with Internet Wagering. Since the Senate did not approve a companion Bill, the House and Senate must pass the legislation again in 2004. We believe there appears to be an anti-Internet gambling sentiment in Congress and passage by both houses appears certain. Our method is distinct, as players using our system, unlike the Internet, will be subject to state casino regulations and will not be permitted to use credit or debit cards. We believe are there no U.S. prohibitions to simulcast live action of casino games as long as the wagers are placed and wagered within the state.
In our proposed worldwide plans, wagers would be placed with Licensed Betting Offices and lottery terminal operators. They would be only permitted to accept cash at their offices or lottery terminal locations. Currently, they would be obliged to make sure that no one underage places or collects wagers on horseracing, sporting events or the lottery. The same would apply when they accept wagers or pay winnings on our live simulcast broadcasts. We believe, although there can be no assurances, that our system is simple and 100% foolproof.
Initially our proposed simulcast will be for entertainment purposes only and will start with broadcast emanating from casinos outside of the United States and delivered to foreign jurisdictions that permit our type of casino gambling until the anti-casino expansion sentiment subsides in the United States Congress. Our proposed broadcasts may actually contain live entertainment produced in Hollywood. Thirty (30) minutes of gambling, then thirty (30) minutes of entertainment, then thirty (30) minutes of gambling and then back to entertainment. The entertainment would be inserted the same as commercials are presented on TV shows.
We believe the proposed broadcast does not require any sophisticated electronics; only the acceptance by the satellite and cable operators and the approval of the Federal Communications Commission. We have been unofficially advised that, for entertainment only (no wagering), our broadcasts will be classified the same as any program now being broadcast via the networks. For gambling, we will require an FCC license, which we would have to obtain (simulcasting of horse racing requires an FCC license).
As the Justice Department has prevented the EchoStar and DirecTV merger, we would like, without assurances to be able to franchise these companies. Initially, they might broadcast our simulcasts for advertising revenue. Later, with live games, they would share in the net win, which is what we expect to negotiate in Europe and Asia.
BSkyB (NewsCorp.) and Vivendi (France) are both leaders in the betting business. They presently control satellite broadcasts in Europe for turf and sport wagering (soccer) and we will without assurances attempt to reach a license with them.
LOGICAL QUESTIONS:
(The following is a series of some questions, and what we believe,
without assurances, are our answers to them.)
(1.) Why arent major casinos in Nevada and Atlantic City that have substantial resources, and the casino table games, competing with us?
The answer is simple. They are casino operators. If they, even by accident, have a minor playing along with their broadcasts, or commit any other violation, they could lose their Nevada or Atlantic City and other state Casino or foreign licenses. Establishing a subsidiary for their transmissions does not absolve them from the violation. Kenilworth is not a licensed casino operator. Kenilworth holds the U.S. Patent for remote casino wagering and they would be able to operate under our license.
Further, if we commence broadcasting from the gaming capital of the world, we plan to broadcast from five (5) strip casinos in rotation, in order that each casino will have the opportunity, on certain days, to broadcast during prime time. When we manage the broadcast in their casino, we will have the same crew
10
in the communication room (4 technicians, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week). For example, on Monday at Caesars, Tuesday at the Venetian, Wednesday at MGM, and so on. If another casino attempts to compete with us, we believe they will violate our patent. They would also have to engage their own crews (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), hire the same satellite provider for their broadcast to Europe and Asia, and pay a percentage of their net win to other franchisees (at least the same percentage of our net win or more, as we all will compete to have them manage the wagering).
We believe that the Nevada casinos would fare better in accepting a percentage of our net win, which they would receive without any operating costs. We believe they might be exempt from Nevada taxes, as we propose to share our revenue with states that permit our broadcasts.
Net win is determined before deduction of expenses. Its a term used to collect taxes on gambling revenue (table drop) before operating expenses. In Europe, and now in some states in the U.S., this tax amounts to an average of twenty percent (20%), with minimum annual taxes of up to one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000).
We propose to offer a percentage of our net win to any state. On a worldwide basis revenue could reach, in the not too distant future, in the three to five hundred billion dollar range ($300-500 billion). That could earn billions of dollars annually to participating jurisdictions. Law enforcement agencies estimate that Americans wagered $380 billion in 2001 on sporting events (mostly illegally). Our proposed system can be regulated and controlled (unlike Internet sites).
(2.) Why wouldnt the U.S. Congress also prevent simulcasting of live casino table games, like it has with Internet gambling?
The Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1978 permits simulcasts of races via satellite transmission between states, which are then downloaded to cable systems. Horse and sporting club owners are traditional and substantial contributors to House and Senate campaigns. It is big business that we believe would have to be abolished if our proposed simulcasts are outlawed. The probability of its abolition is remote.
(3.) What happens if the Nevada State Legislature does not, or cannot, authorize the live game broadcasts?
We will endeavor to proceed outside the U.S. similarly to the Dynasty casino on Tinian. We will seek to introduce our proposed legislation to other states such as New Jersey, Michigan, New Orleans and Connecticut.
(4.) What will happen if non-casino or casino operators attempt to compete with us?
If they do, they run the risk of an injunction and incurring triple damages. The U.S. Patent titled System and Method For Remote Roulette and Other Game Play Using Game Table At A Casino for remote live in-progress casino play was issued on June 10, 2003 to Kenilworth and has been filed for approval in forty-nine (49) industrialized countries including Russia and China.
(5.) Will there be opposition by Nevada casino operators?
The past has proven to the Nevada casino industry that as more casinos are built in the United States (we believe there are now seven hundred fifty [750] casinos outside of Nevada), more visitors come to Nevada. Our worldwide broadcasts would substantially enhance the overall demand to visit Las Vegas or any other state or jurisdiction that permits our broadcasts, and to other casinos from which we will broadcast.
SUMMARY:
(1.) Kenilworths business presently is solely in the planning stage. We plan to engage in the development, manufacturing, marketing of an operation entitled Roulabette. Roulabette would allow casino patrons and other players to play along with live in-progress casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and
11
Baccarat and more via digital satellite and digital cable television broadcasts (simulcasts) emanating from strictly regulated casinos located in the United States and other locations around the world, to self-sufficient computer terminals dubbed Roulabette and digital satellite and cable TV set top boxes. The Roulabette terminal is a proposal intended to be built and there can be no assurances that it will ever be built. The microprocessor to be installed in the TV set top boxes have not been designed. We have as at December 31, 2003, no agreements, customers or proposals for any future business and there can be no assurances that we will ever have same. Reference is also made to each of the Risk Factors that are set forth in Item 7.
(2.) In order not to endanger the viability of the their local casinos, we believe, without any assurances that the Nevada Legislature should allow our proposed simulcasts, as there are too many other prominent and well-regulated casinos in the U.S. from which our simulcasts can be transmitted around the world. For example, Atlantic City, N.J., Connecticut, (Foxwood and Mohegan Sun, the two most profitable casinos in the world), Detroit, New Orleans, etc. Most casinos are owned by the very same casino operators we plan to solicit in Las Vegas. Nevada is the world capital and leader of the casino industry. As such, it cannot afford to pass up our new innovation.
(3.) Our Roulabette terminals, wherever they would be placed in bars, resorts, hotels, racetracks, etc. will only be leased to the operators by the leasing company, which we will engage for that purpose. If a terminal cannot meet the minimum revenue necessary to pay the monthly leasing charges, it will be moved to another location. By placing Roulabette terminals at horse race tracks, which also offer slot machines, we will be transforming them into complete casinos, without the inherent start up and operating costs.
(4.) If Nevada approves the simulcasts, of which there can be no assurances, we believe, it could spell the end of most of the existing one (1) thousand Internet Virtual casino websites around the world. It will be likely that no one would wager with a make believe casino game when they know that they can play along with a live game from Las Vegas or other foreign jurisdiction.
We believe the thousand virtual casino websites via the Internet obtain sixty percent (60%) of their annual revenue from customers in the U.S.
Although Internet gambling is outlawed, we believe it is presently not very well enforced by the U.S. Justice Department. Much of the opposition in Congress against Internet gambling stems from the fact that the websites are not legitimate, and may even be used for money laundering. Further, the websites do not effectively prevent minors and underage college students from wagering. Approximately one hundred (100) entities control the thousand websites. When one site experiences losses, it is shut down and another site is created. We expect that a majority of these sites will shut down because of our simulcasts, thus directly reducing the number of sites, which need to be policed.
Simulcast broadcasts of digital satellite and digital cable transmissions around the world must meet, and will be supervised by, the regulations by the gaming authorities of the broadcasting casino and the jurisdiction, which receives the broadcast. We believe the supervision will not be difficult to enforce, because all simulcast wagering is cash only, from regulated, supervised betting sites. There are no wire money transfers with banks and no credit or debit cards permitted. We believe this fact should ease any opposition from concerned citizens and anti-gambling groups, as regulation and enforcement responsibility will be vested in each individual state (or foreign jurisdiction).
We believe Kenilworth was the first to use color personal computers (PCs) to replace electromechanical slot machines (1988). We provided the software for the first Tabaret located at the Menzie at the Rialto in Melbourne, Australia, which opened in November 1990. This consisted of cashless, variable denomination and multiple game virtual PATs (Player Activated Terminals). Prior thereto Kenilworth sponsored, with the assistance of three Nevada casino operators, legislation to permit cashless wagering in the state of Nevada. The legislation, which is in the form of an amendment to existing casino control statutes, permits the use of account cards (debit cards) and was signed into law by Governor Richard H. Bryan on June 13, 1985.
12
Kenilworth has been a publicly traded Company since 1968. Prior to commencing its endeavors into its proposed business in 1988, it provided security systems to Nuclear Electric Generating Plants in the U.S. and foreign countries, as well as time/attendance systems at a major department store chain.
MARKETING STRATEGY/SALES PLAN
In order to develop the Roulabette terminal and the Roulabette broadcasts, we estimate at this time, that we will need at least approximately ten million dollars ($10,000,000). We do not have this money nor do we have any agreements or understanding to procure this money. We may never get this money. If we do obtain this money, it may not be sufficient. Further, should such monies be available it may not be available on terms satisfactory to Kenilworth or it may be available on such terms that substantially dilute the interest of existing shareholders. If we obtain this money, we will need substantial additional funds for the proposed marketing plan and there can be no assurances that such funds will ever be available to allow Kenilworth to engage in business on a profitable basis.
At the present time, we do not have any employees who will be able to develop Roulabette. It will be necessary for us to obtain personnel qualified and with the expertise to develop Roulabette. We believe at this time we would require initially six (6) additional employees and several consultants and there can be no assurances of our being able to obtain any necessary personnel. There can be no assurances of the availability of any such employees and consultants. The Company will outsource the development of Roulabette and the microprocessors for the TV set top boxes.
In the United States Kenilworth hopes to refrain from using the Worldwide Web (WWW) Internet to manage wagers from individuals outside of the casino confines. Legislators have voiced strong objections to having their constituents gamble one-on-one against computers located on Caribbean islands, totally unregulated. In Roulabette, the play-along broadcast emanates from casinos that are regulated by strict and comprehensive rules and state and jurisdiction regulations, enforced by gaming control regulators and everybody plays along with the same live table game. There is a world of difference between playing in a virtual make believe casino compared with an actual casino.
For the reasons stated, Kenilworth will ask state lotteries, Off-Track Betting (OTB) corporations, pari-mutuel race tracks, and other state and federal regulated agencies to manage the wagers from individuals playing along on their PCs and their television sets using interactive TV set top boxes that convert regular television sets into minicomputers within their state or jurisdiction. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain any arrangement with any of these entities or that they would be on suitable terms.
The individuals would have to pre-deposit funds into an account with the wager management company and then place wagers with their credit balance. The wagers and running balances will be transmitted to the Roulabette players PC and/or television sets with telephone lines not crossing any state lines, similar in principle to telephone accounts wagering offered by the New York State Off-Track Betting Corporation and the state of Nevada casino sports book.
After we obtain permission to play Roulabette of which there can be no assurances, in a given state and engages a wager management organization in order to promote digital satellite and interactive television to the states residents, Kenilworth would install the eighteen (18) inch dish antenna and converter box required to receive digital TV programming and interactive TV at its own cost, if the subscriber opens a Roulabette wagering account for two hundred dollars ($200). In addition, Kenilworth would pay the monthly subscription fees to view all digital TV programming offered and the internet service provider (ISP) subscription fee if the customer wagers at least one hundred twenty dollars ($120) each monthwin, lose, or drawmakes no difference.
In states with approved lottery and/or other gambling legislation, we plan to introduce Roulabette terminals to hotels, clubs (similar to card clubs in California) and resorts, to provide upscale gathering places for tourists and local residents. Charitable organizations that are permitted to conduct Nevada Nights and Bingo games may wish to offer Roulabette gaming on a more permanent basis. To receive
13
the broadcast signal, all that would be required is an eighteen (18) inch dish TV antenna and distribution equipment. The Roulabette terminals are intended to be self-sufficient and accept dollar bills (or script, to control the amount an individual is allowed to wager in one day or other time period). We plan to lease all the equipment necessary to participants for a share of the profits.
To gain approval for our Roulabette-style gambling in jurisdictions that have not approved any gambling legislation, Kenilworth proposes to engage lobbyists to introduce, promote, and obtain legislative approval to permit Roulabette-style gambling. Our strategy is to find depressed resort areas an have the resort/hotel operators convince their local politicians of the benefits to their business and the local economies and request them to promote legislative approval, either state-wide or limited to their areas. Riverboat gambling started to rehabilitate decaying waterfronts. Roulabette can do the same in depressed economic areas. No assurances can be given that we can obtain any such approvals.
When the live casino TV broadcasts are beamed for global viewing, Kenilworth will seek out similar organizations, as proposed for the United States and betting shops and slot route operators that can provide the servicing of individual accounts and placement of Roulabette terminals in hotels, clubs, pubs, racetracks, etc. In all instances, we plan to offer only profit sharing arrangements to franchisees, which will require leasing all the equipment necessary to the franchisee, to discourage competition.
In overseas installations, wherever permitted, Kenilworth will make use of the WWW Internet only to manage the wagers, and only in jurisdictions that permit the data collection of the gambler not for the live broadcast.
COMPETITION
Many segments of the gaming industry are characterized by intense competition, with a large number of companies offering the same type of wagering products and services. None of these companies at present are believed to offer the same or similar equipment or systems as intended by Roulabette. The most likely competition will come from slot machine manufacturers who could relatively quickly adapt slot machines to play along with live casino table games. We believe there are three (3) major slot machine manufacturers in the world, all of which have vastly greater capital resources and substantially more personnel than the Company and may have under development systems that directly compete with Roulabette.
Our present plans are to broadcast the live casino table games from companies that own casinos throughout the industrialized world. Other casino owners may start their own broadcasts and have their own terminals manufactured that compete with Kenilworth after Kenilworth has done all its pioneering for play-along wagering.
PATENTS
On June 10, 2003, our U.S. patent for the various aspects of wagering on live in-progress casino table games via digital satellite transmission and other means of transmission, was granted by the U.S. Patent Office and we have taken the steps to protect our interests in forty-nine (49) other countries of the industrialized world. The Company recently submitted a disclosure for a Patent for accepting wagers for Roulabette by lottery terminal operators to the U.S. Patent Offices. There can be no assurances that foreign patents will be issued and that challenges will not be instituted against the validity or enforceability of our patent.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Kenilworth has no licenses from any casino regulating authorities and may not require any casino licenses at the present time and may never become able to obtain any licenses that we will require in the future. Each state has its own regulations, and in states where Kenilworth does business, Kenilworth will have to comply with these regulations and there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so or obtain the
14
necessary license in an applicable jurisdiction. The following discussion is not necessarily complete, or current regarding laws and regulations that may be applicable to us. Any present laws are also subject to future change, amendment or cancellation.
New Jersey
In order to sell its Roulabette wagering systems from casinos in New Jersey, Kenilworth must be licensed by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (CCC) in accordance with the New Jersey Casino Control Act as a manufacturer and distributor of gaming equipment. We will have to make arrangements to apply for licensing in New Jersey. The New Jersey Commission may require that persons holding in excess of five percent (5%) of the publicly traded equity securities of Kenilworth qualify under the Casino Control Act. Any beneficial holder of the voting securities owned may be required to file an application, be investigated, and have his qualifications determined if the CCC has reason to believe that such ownership may be inconsistent with the declared policies of the Casino Control Act.
Nevada
The manufacture and distribution of gaming devices in Nevada are subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act (the Nevada Act), and to licensing and regulatory control by the State Gaming Control Board and various local, city and county regulatory agencies (collectively, the Nevada Gaming Regulators). The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada Gaming Regulators are based upon declarations of public policy which are concerned with, among other things, (i) the character of persons having any direct or indirect involvement with gaming, (ii) application of appropriate accounting practices and procedures, (iii) maintenance of internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenues, (iv) record keeping and reporting to the Nevada Gaming Regulators, (v) fair operations of games, and (vi) the raising of revenues through taxation and licensing fees.
No publicly traded corporation is eligible to apply for, or hold gaming licenses in Nevada. A publicly traded corporation may be registered and found suitable to acquire or to hold an interest in a corporate subsidiary, which holds such gaming licenses. Before Kenilworth may do business in Nevada, it will have to register with the Nevada Gaming Regulators as a publicly traded holding company and found suitable to hold an interest in a licensed subsidiary. After an investigation is completed, licensing may take ninety (90) days or more. No proceeds from the public sale of securities by a registered holding company may be used to acquire, construct, operate, or finance gaming facilities in Nevada or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes unless the public offering of those securities has been approved by the Nevada Gaming Regulators.
The Nevada Gaming Regulators may require any individual who has a material relationship with it to be investigated and licensed or found suitable. Any person who acquired five percent (5%) or more of Kenilworths securities must report the acquisition to the Nevada Gaming Regulators. Any person who becomes a beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) or more of Kenilworths securities must apply for a finding of suitability. The Nevada Regulators have the power to investigate any security holder of Kenilworth.
If Kenilworth registers as a publicly traded holding company, the Nevada Gaming Regulators would have the power, at any time, to require the Companys stock certificates to bear a legend indicating that the stock is subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the regulations of the Nevada Gaming Regulators. The Nevada Gaming Regulators, through the power to regulate licensees and otherwise under Nevada law, would have the power to impose additional restrictions on the holders of Kenilworths securities at any time.
Tinian (Northern Mariana Group)
We believe the Tinian Casino Control Commission of the Northern Marianas Island Group mirrors the requirements of the New Jersey Regulations. At the time of the issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, we were unable to determine the exact outcome of the Tinian
15
Casino Control Act of 1989 which has been amended several times by various court actions and to the best available information have not been finalized. Since we are only seeking permission to broadcast live in-progress casino table games from the only casino in the Marianas Group we believe the New Jersey Casino Regulations will more than adequately describe the revised Tinian Regulations.
Federal
The Federal Gambling Devices Act of 1962 (the Federal Act) makes it unlawful for a person to manufacture, deliver, or receive gaming machines, gaming machine type devices and components thereof across interstate lines unless that person has first registered with the Attorney General of the United States. In addition, various record keeping and equipment identification requirements are imposed by the Federal Act. Violations of the Federal Act may result in seizure or forfeiture of equipment, as well as other penalties.
Other Regulations
The manufacture, distribution, sale, and use of slot machines is controlled by state and federal law, which may also apply to our Roulabette gaming terminals. Certain foreign countries permit the importation, sale, or operation of slot machines. Where importation is permitted, some countries prohibit or restrict the payout feature of the traditional slot machine or limit the operation of slot machines to a controlled number of casinos or casino-like locations. Certain of these jurisdictions also require the licensing of gaming devices. Our Roulabette terminals may be considered similar to slot machines and may have to meet these regulations.
FABRICATION/ASSEMBLY OPERATION
When we start to market the Roulabette Wagering System, of which there can be no assurances, we plan to engage sub-contractors to assemble/manufacture the terminals from standard or specially manufactured (to our specifications) electronic, TV, and other components purchased from vendors or manufactured by subcontractors.
EMPLOYEES
Kenilworth at present has five (5) full time employees. Four (4) perform administrative work and one (1) other work on research related to casino wagering and marketing around the world in addition to the officers that manage the affairs of the Company. The Company has engaged consultants that may manage the proposed satellite transmission programs, and others that may assist in the marketing of Roulabette broadcasts throughout the industrialized world.
BACKLOG
We do not have any backlog.
ITEM 2PROPERTIES
Kenilworth leases two thousand (2,000) square feet in an office building paying ($2,500) per month rent pursuant to a three (3) year lease commenced in June 2003.
ITEM 3LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since emerging from Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Proceedings on September 23, 1998, Kenilworth has not been involved in any significant legal proceedings.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(A) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Since we emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on September 23, 1998, we have had no revenues from operations, and therefore sustained losses from general administration expenses amounting to $832,168 in 2003 and $660,289 in 2002. Kenilworth has had no revenues from operations during the past eleven (11) years and there can be no assurances that it will ever have revenues from present planned operations.
(B) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Kenilworth has not conducted any business and operations since 1991. At December 31, 2003 our working capital was $7,136. In Kenilworths present state of operation to formulate a viable business plan, Kenilworth requires very little funding to continue this planning. We have been dependant upon the resources of its President who receives no compensation and funds received from private investors. Totaling $406,000 in 2003 and $520,000 in 2002. In addition the Company issued restricted Common Stock for services primarily to consultants and for legal services totaling $596,440 in 2003 and $498,627 in 2002.
Our present plans are to develop a wagering system dubbed Roulabette that would allow patrons all over the industrialized world to view and wager on live casino table games on terminals placed in hotels, resorts, bars and other public gathering places and in homes and offices on personal computers (PCs) or television sets connected to set top boxes for Interactive TV via digital satellite and digital cable broadcasts emanating from strictly regulated casinos. At present we do not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to develop our business or to remain in business and we may never have such resources.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND RISK FACTORS
The information contained in this Form 10-K and Kenilworths other filings with the Securities Exchange Commission contain forward- looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Such information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward looking statements herein. Future operating results may be adversely affected as a result of a number of factors. Set forth below are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements that are directed to each shareholder and potential shareholder of Kenilworth.
19
You should not rely on forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K because they are inherently uncertain. This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involved risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipates, believes, plans, expects, future, intends and similar expressions to identify such forward- looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by Kenilworth as described below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
RISK FACTORS
NO OPERATING HISTORY
We have had no revenues from operations since 1991. We emerged from our bankruptcy proceedings in 1998 without assets and liabilities. We have had no revenues from operations since then and we may never have any revenues from operations in the future, which may result in the termination of our business.
WE HAVE NO WORKING CAPITAL
As of December 31, 2003 the working capital of Kenilworth is $ 7,136. This will not enable Kenilworth to achieve any of its planned operations. There can be no assurances that Kenilworth will ever have sufficient working capital to engage in its planned operations.
OUR BUSINESS IS ONLY IN THE PLANNING STAGE
Kenilworths business presently is solely in the planning stage. We plan to engage in the development, manufacturing, marketing of an operation entitled Roulabette. Roulabette would allow casino patrons and other players to play along with live in-progress casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat and more via digital satellite and digital cable television broadcasts (simulcasts) emanating from strictly regulated casinos located in the United States and other locations around the world, to self-sufficient computer terminals dubbed Roulabette and digital satellite and cable TV set top boxes. The Roulabette terminal is a proposal intended to be built and there can be no assurances that it will ever be built. The microprocessor to be installed in the TV set top boxes have not been designed. We have as at December 31, 2003, no agreements, customers or proposals for any future business and there can be no assurances that we will ever have same.
WE NEED AT LEAST TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000)
In order to develop the Roulabette terminal and the Roulabette broadcasts, we estimate at this time, that we will need at least approximately ten million dollars ($10,000,000). We do not have this money nor do we have any agreements or understanding to procure this money. We may never get this money. If we do obtain this money, it may not be sufficient. Further, should such monies be available it may not be available on terms satisfactory to Kenilworth or it may be available on such terms that substantially dilute the interest of existing shareholders. If we obtain this money, we will need substantial additional funds for the proposed marketing plan and there can be no assurances that such funds will ever be available to allow Kenilworth to engage in business on a profitable basis.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL
At the present time, we do not have any employees who will be able to develop Roulabette. It will be necessary for us to obtain personnel qualified and with the expertise to develop Roulabette. We believe at this time we would require initially six (6) additional employees and several consultants. There can be no assurances of the availability of any such employees and consultants. The Company expect to outsource the development of Roulabette and the microprocessors for the TV set top boxes. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to do this successfully.
20
WE ARE DEPENDANT UPON OUR PRESIDENT
Kenilworth has been dependant upon the services of its president Herbert Lindo who is seventy-eight (78) years old. Herbert Lindo has performed his services during the past recent years without compensation. Should Kenilworth procure working capital, there can be no assurances that he will continue to work without receiving compensation. There also can be no assurances of Herbert Lindos continued availability. We believe without assurances that present management is capable to continue our present plans in the event that Herbert Lindo is not available.
RAPID CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY
The technology and Roulabette in general is subject to rapid change. Kenilworth will need to maintain an ongoing research and development effort of which there can be no assurances of success or availability of funds. Additionally, there can be no assurances that the development of technologies and products by competitors will not render the Kenilworths products or technologies non-competitive or obsolete.
WE ARE ENGAGED IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY
Our business is subject to significant competition. Competition exists from larger companies that possess substantially greater technical, financial, sales and marketing resources that Kenilworth presently possesses. Such competition is expected to increase. Such increased competition may have a material adverse effect on Kenilworths ability to successfully market its products.
WE WERE GRANTED A PATENT FOR THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF SIMULCAST WAGERING
On June 10, 2003, the U.S. patent for the various aspects of wagering on live in-progress casino table games, was granted by the U.S. Patent Office to Herbert Lindo, the Inventor and which Patent was assigned by Herbert Lindo to the Company in August 2000. We filed the Patent for approval in forty-nine (49) countries in the industrialized world including Russia and China. There can be no assurances that foreign patents will be issued and the challenges will not be instituted against the validity or enforceability of our patent. Herbert Lindo also filed a Patent in the U.S. Patent Offices to use lottery terminals to accept deposits for wagers placed with the TV set top boxes, which has also been assigned to the Company by Herbert Lindo.
OUR ROULABETTE TERMINALS ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN JURISDICTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The use of Roulabette, may be subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations both in the United States and foreign countries. There can be no assurances that we will ever be able to obtain licenses or permits necessary to conduct our business or that we will be able to comply with these applicable laws and regulations.
The Roulabette system is planned to allow casino patrons and other players to play along with live in progress casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat and more via digital satellite television and digital cable programming emanating from regulated casinos. There can be no assurances that casino operators will ever participate in Kenilworths business.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER US AND MAY APPROVE OR REJECT MATTERS CONTRARY TO A VOTE OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Our executive officers and directors together with their affiliates beneficially own a significant percentage of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or similar transactions even if the stockholders disagree.
21
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO FALL
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. As of March 30, 2004 we had 140,480,261 shares of Common Stock outstanding of which approximately 91,000,000 are eligible for sale by our Shareholders under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended or are otherwise registered for sale.
WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS
We are not able to pay any dividends because we have no funds available to do so. Even if we had funds available, we do not intend or declare to pay any dividends on our common stock in the near future.

ITEM 9CHANGES AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The Companys prior year auditors discontinued their business during 2002. The Company restated the Annual Reports for the periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the first and second quarter periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2003 as a Development Stage Company. The restatements were not audited. The financials for the year ended 2003 are audited.
ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a.) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management including the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Chief Financial Officer who is the President, the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems evaluation of controls can provide only reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. However, based on that evaluation, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report at a reasonable assurance level.
b.) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the annual period ending December 31, 2003, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

(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 Companys 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 of nine hundred thirty thousand ten dollars and fifty cents ($930,010.50). 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 Supreme Court for $128,062. Tappan Zee was both the foreclosing party and the purchaser. Herbert Lindo owned Real Estate at the time valued in excess of $128,062 which the sheriff could have seized instead of the Kenilworth Shares.
Kenilworth claims that the Sheriffs 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) the New York State Securities Laws, and (2) by failing to properly advertise the Sale, failing to notify any or all Kenilworth shareholders (numbering approximately 5,500), and (3) failing to register the Restricted Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission before conducting the Sale or in the absence of registering the Shares, obtain a No-Action letter from the Commission permitting the Public Sale, and (4) by making an immediate distribution of the Restricted Shares, and (5) by concluding the auction sale despite only one (1) bidder that appeared and bid only one thousand dollars ($1,000) for all the shares when the market value of the 10,333,450 shares was nine hundred thirty thousand ten dollars and fifty cents ($930,010.50). He should have adjourned the auction and then advertise the auction sale in appropriate newspapers that quoted Kenilworth Systems Corporation shares which has traded since 1968 under the trading symbol KENS on organized exchanges NASDAQ and OTC, and (6) by failing to file required notices of 13 D-G as provided under the Acts. Tappan Zee and its Counsel and the Sheriffs department were advised in court documents and correspondence that their acts violated Federal and State Securities Laws and of the existence of the Real Property, prior to the Sale. By the attorneys for Tappan Zees failure to seize the Real Property owned by Herbert Lindo raises the question of complicity to take control of Kenilworth instead of satisfying a disputed claim for $128,062.
Kenilworth or Herbert Lindo, as an individual will seek in Federal or State Courts to cancel the 10,333,450 shares, which were subject of the Sheriff Auctions Sale, and seek triple damages under RICO on behalf of the shareholders of Kenilworth, the damaged parties.
In June 2003, the Madison Bank of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania returned two million (2,000,000) of the wrong fully distributed shares by Tappan Zee for cancellation to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, Kenilworths Stock Transfer Agents. Since the Madison Bank was complicent with Tappan Zee in the fraudulent seizure and auction of the shares, neither Herbert Lindo nor Kenilworth issued general releases to the Madison Bank, although the subsequent Madison Bank and Kenilworth Agreement provided for the releases. The Company was desirous of having the two million (2,000,000) shares returned, reducing the claim against the Nassau County Sheriffs Department and for future free distribution to Kenilworths shareholders on record on June 26, 2002 which were not made aware by the Sheriff of the Auction Sale.

To the Board of Directors of
Kenilworth Systems Corporation:
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kenilworth Systems Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations and stockholders equity and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2003. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, require that reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, including examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Assessing the accounting principals used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The consolidated financial statements referred to above as a development stage Company present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kenilworth Systems Corporation as of December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company emerged from bankruptcy in 1998 and has not yet commenced operations. Future operations are contingent on obtaining funding. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 7. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

None of the subsidiaries have any assets or liabilities.
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.

Diluted earnings per share has not been presented in the accompanying financial statements because the effect of assumed conversion of convertible promissory notes was anti-dilutive.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes in accordance with requirements of SFAS No. 109.
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.
The Companys financial statements include cash, receivables and accounts payable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded values.

NOTE 4 BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
Throughout the 1980s the Company experienced working capital shortages that resulted in the Company filing a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy Code. From August 28, 1982 to June 7, 1985 the Company operated during reorganization proceedings. On June 7, 1985, a United States Bankruptcy Judge confirmed the Companys Plan of Reorganization. On April 27, 1988, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final decree in the case. On October 27, 1988, the case was re-opened on grounds the Debtor failed to consummate its plan of reorganization and on February 25, 1991 the case was converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. By order of the Court dated June 19, 1991 the Chapter 7 was reconverted to a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A second plan of reorganization was approved and a second order of confirmation was entered in connection with the Chapter 11 case on October 2, 1991. However, the Debtor was unable to consummate its second plan of reorganization, and by order dated November 25, 1991, the case was reconverted to a case under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy Code.
From February 1991 through September 1998, the Company was inactive. In September 1998 a United States Bankruptcy Judge in the Eastern District of New York approved the Final Report and Accounts submitted by the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estate of Kenilworth and after obtaining approval from the U.S. Trustee, Kenilworth made a one hundred percent (100%) cash distribution to the creditors and paid in full all administrative fees and expenses. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on September 23, 1998 with no assets and no liabilities. For the period September 24, 1998 through November 23, 1998 the Company was in the process of monitoring the payments by check to the creditors. No other activity occurred during that period. Thereafter the Company commenced its present plans.
36
NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
The Company is a C Corporation for tax purposes.
The Company estimates that it has available approximately ten million dollars ($10,000,000) 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 Companys operations.
The Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately two million eight hundred thousand dollars ($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 6CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
During the year 2003, the Company sold one (1) year Convertible Promissory Notes totaling four hundred and six thousand ($406,000). At the option of the Note Holders, the Notes were convertible into Common Stock of the Company at the rate of between one (1) share for each $0.07 and $0.10 of face value of the indebtedness represented by the Notes together with accrued interest at the annual rate of two percent (2%) above the prime rate quoted by Citibank of N.A. Management believed it was unable to repay the Notes when they become due, in order to induce the Note Holders to convert the Notes by year end 2003 when the quoted price per Common Share, as traded on the Pink Sheet Market was between $0.035 and $0.06 per share, the Company offered to convert the Notes at the rate of one (1) share for each $0.05 of indebtedness represented by each Note, together with accrued interest. As the result of the Companys offer, all Note Holders converted their Notes into 7,712,606 restricted shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, including accrued interest, at an average price of $0.05 per share.
During the year 2002, the Company sold one (1) year Convertible Promissory Notes totaling two hundred ninety thousand dollars ($290,000). At the option of the Note holders, the Notes were convertible into Common Stock of the Company at the rate of between one (1) share for each $.10 to $.15 of face value of the indebtedness represented by the Notes, together with interest at the annual rate of two percent (2%) above the prime rate quoted by Citibank of N.A. Management believed it was unable to repay the Notes when they became due. In order to induce the Note Holders to convert the Notes by year end 2002 when the quoted price per Common Share, as traded on the Pink Sheet Market was between $.02 and $.08 per share, the Company offered to convert the Notes at the rate of one (1) share for each $.05 of indebtedness represented by each Note, together with accrued interest. As a result of the Companys offer, all Note Holders converted their Notes into five million seven hundred seventy seven thousand seven hundred and fifty (5,777,750) shares of Common Stock, including accrued interest, at an average price of $0.05 share.
NOTE 7 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
As indicated in Note 4, the Company emerged from Chapter 7 in September 1998 and has not yet commenced operations. These factors create uncertainty as to the Companys ability to operate as a going-concern and continue in business. Management plans to develop a wagering system that allows casino patrons and individuals outside the casino to play and wager along with live casino table games. The first step in the plan is to conduct testing. Unless the Company is able to obtain sufficient funds, none of the tests and initial development work can commence. 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.
If initial testing is successful, the second step is to obtain the proper licenses from the gaming control regulators in the various venues the Company intends to offer its system. Upon successful licensing, the Company plans to obtain financing from regular banking sources to finance the manufacturing of the microprocessor to be installed into digital set top boxes and digital cable boxes that convert an ordinary
37
television set into a computer terminal using the TV set as the monitor. The heart of Kenilworths Patent that protects our worldwide play along broadcasts.
The accompanying 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 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OUTSTANDING PAYROLL TAXES
As of year-end, the Internal Revenue Service is contending that the Company owes payroll taxes including interest and penalties totaling almost $400,000 for various periods from 1985-1991. The Company is currently in negotiations with the IRS to resolve these issues. In managements 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 the New York State Taxing Authorities on July 1, 2002 with satisfactions issued.
NOTE 9 QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATIONUNAUDITED
The following table sets forth certain unaudited condensed quarterly financial data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. This information has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements and all necessary adjustments have been included in the amounts stated below to present fairly the selected quarterly information when read in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
