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 March 31, 2003(unaudited) and December 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

 

The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 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 and design systems that permit individuals from remote locations, to play along with live in progress casino table games 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 system that allows casino patrons to play along with live table games in-progress via TV satellite broadcasts on TV sets and 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, Kenilworth Systems Nevada Corporation and Kenilworth Systems (UK) Limited. 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),

 

5

 

and ($.00) for the year ended December 31, 2002, and the periods March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002.

 

Diluted earnings per share have not been presented in the accompanying financial statements because the effect of 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 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 Company’s 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 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 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:

 

 

6

 

Property and Equipment consist of the following as of March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002:

 

		Three-month ended March 31
		2003			2002
Office Equipment		$	3,939		$	2,939
Vehicles		13,461			8,500
		$	17,400		$	11,439
Less-Accumulated Amortization		664			3,861
Total Property and Equipment, Net		$	16,736		$	7,578

 

Depreciation expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 was $664 and $429 respectively.

 

NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

During the year 2002 Convertible Promissory Notes totaling five hundred twenty thousand dollars ($520,000) issued in 2002 where converted into 11,520,605 shares of Common Stock.  During the quarter period ended March 31, 2003, Notes totaling two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) were sold and converted into 4,166,666 shares of restricted Common Stock.  On a one hundred thousand dollar ($100,000) Note, the Company agreed to extend to June 2003 a balance payable of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

 

NOTE 10 - PRO-FORMA PRESENTATION

 

On February 24, 2003, the United States Patent and Trade Mark Offices approved the Company’s patent titled “System and Method for Remote Roulette and Other Game Play Using Game Table at a Casino” which was assigned by Herbert Lindo, the inventor, in August 2000, to the Company.

 

The Board of Directors (with Mr. Lindo abstaining) voted to issue to Mr. Lindo 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in lieu of a payment $2,50,000 which the Board considered fair consideration for the invention.  The transaction is subject to shareholder’s approval at the next annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 28, 2003 or any adjournment thereof.

 

The Board of Directors directed all shareholders to vote in favor of the proposal in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the shareholder’s meeting.

 

7

 

In order for shareholders to evaluate the proposal, the Company is presenting in these the quarter annual financials for the period ending March 31, 2003 interposing the effect of issuing 20,000,000 shares in lieu of $2,500,000 payment on a Pro-Forma basis.

 

 

NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

 

As indicated in Note 2, the Company emerged from Chapter 7 in September 1998 and has not yet commenced manufacturing operations. These factors create uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to operate as a going-concern. Management plans to develop a wagering system that allows casino patrons and individuals outside the casino to play along with live casino table games. Among the first steps 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 private placements, 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.

 

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 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

OUTSTANDING PAYROLL TAXES

 

During the year 2000, the Internal Revenue Service contended that the Company owes payroll taxes including interest and penalties totaling almost $400,000 for various periods from 1985-1991. The Company commenced 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 the New York State Taxing Authorities on July 1, 2002.

 

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 of $660,289 and $421,491 in year 2002 and 2001 and for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 we sustained losses from general administrative expenses amounting to $553,475 compared to a loss of $38,542 for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. Kenilworth has had no revenues from operations during the past twelve (12) 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 broadcasts emanating from strictly regulated casinos.

 

A 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 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 begin; and we will not be able to commence our planned business.

 

Kenilworth plans to obtain the necessary funding by offering in Private Placements, 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 all required licenses from the gaming control regulators and state legislatures or foreign jurisdictions 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 and approvals will be available to us.
