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) beginning as of January 1, 2004 contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the six (6) month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
The loss from operations for the six (6) month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the losses 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 since emerging from bankruptcy proceedings 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 and digital cable 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 29, 1998. The Company ceased all operations, between February 2, 1991 through September 29, 1998.
NOTE 3 PATENTS
The Company was granted a U.S. Patent # U.S. 6,575,834, on June 10, 2003 for System and Method for Remote Roulette and Other Game Play Using Game Table at a Casino. The Patent grant places the company in a singularly prominent position. It has been filed for approval in forty-nine (49) countries including Russia and China. It protects the Companys broadcast of live in-progress casino table game play for wagering throughout the industrialized world for the next sixteen (16) years. The Patent has been originally capitalized at $357,100 and depreciated to $346,580. Since 1/2/04 Patent maintenance fees charged by foreign jurisdictions has increased the Patent cost by $10,613 to $335,967. The company also has filed a Patent in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Offices to use lottery terminals with play cards to accept deposits and pay winnings to play along with the live games which Patent remains pending.
The British Gaming Commission in its recent recommendation by the Joint Committee on the new draft Gambling Bill held on June 14, 2004 emphasized that remote gambling licenses should be issued as soon as possible after the Bill is enacted. The Company plans to file for a license for its remote wagering system with live in-progress casino table games via digital satellite and digital cable broadcast transmissions prior to the enactment of the Bill.
NOTE 4 - 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, Kenilworth Satellite Management Corporation, a Delaware Corporation and Kenilworth Systems (UK) Limited. None of these subsidiaries has any assets or liabilities.
NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes and presents loss per share in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 Earnings Per Share.
6
Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, which were $0.008, $0.003, and $0.005 respectively for the year ended December 31, 2003, and the periods June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.
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 6 - 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 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 7 - 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 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 9 - 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:

NOTE 10 - CONVERTIBLE 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 quarter period ended March 31, 2004, the Company sold one (1) year Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $422,000. At the option of the Note Holders, the Notes were convertible into Common Stock of the Company at the rate of $0.10 per share. At the request of the Company all Note Holders converted their Notes by January 31, 2004 at the rate of one (1) share for each $0.05 per share of the principal amount of the Notes without any accrued interest. The Companys Common Stock was trading on the Pink Sheets at that time between $0.035 and $0.075 per share. As the result of the Companys offer all Note Holders converted their Notes into 9,114,699 restricted shares for the $422,000 face amount of Notes, thus avoiding to carry the Notes on the Companys balance sheet as indebtedness which could have made the Company insolvent with the cost of traveling to the Asian markets by members of the Company.
During the quarter period ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold one (1) year Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $275,000. At the option of the Note Holders, the Notes were convertible into Common Stock of the Company at the rate of ten cents ($0.10) per share. At the request of the Company all Note Holders converted their Notes by June 30, 2004 at the rate of one (1) share for each five cents ($0.05) per share of the principal amount of the Notes without any accrued interest. The Companys Common Stock was trading on the Pink Sheets at that time between $0.06 and $0.075 per share. As the result of the Companys offer all Note Holders converted their Notes into 4,500,000 restricted shares for the $275,000 face amount of Notes at an average price of $0.06 per share, thus avoiding to carry the Notes on the Companys balance sheet as indebtedness which could have made the Company insolvent with the continuing cost of traveling to the Asian markets by members of the Company and the costs associated engaging legal advisors in the various Asian jurisdictions.
NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
As indicated in Note 2, 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 individuals outside the casino to play along with live in-progress casino table games in hotel/resort rooms, bars, other
8
public gathering places and at home. 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, Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares and/or continue to sell Convertible Promissory Notes 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company issued 7,395,558 shares of restricted Common Stock in payment for services rendered in the amount of $596,440 an average price of $0.08 per share. The amount did not include 2,500,000 shares for the services rendered by the Directors of the Company (See Note 14).
During the first quarter period ended March 31, 2004 the Company issued 6,580,000 shares of restricted Common Stock in payments for services rendered in the amount of $296,800, an average price of $0.05 per share.
During the quarter period ended June 30, 2004 the Company issued 427,000 shares of restricted Common Stock in payments for services rendered in the amount of $397,000, an average price of $0.93 per share.
During the quarter period ended June 30, 2004 the Company issued two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of restricted Common Stock in payment of consulting contracts for services rendered and to be rendered by Asian consultants in the amount of two hundred ninety two thousand and one dollar ($292,001), an average price of twelve cents ($0.12) per share.
In connection with the emergence from bankruptcy in September 1998 the trustee distributed four million three hundred thousand four hundred and three dollars ($4,300,403) to pay one hundred percent (100%) of all approved claims. The distribution was in addition to $1,610,800 to the IRS and the New York State Income Tax Authorities made in 1993 to avoid penalties.
NOTE 13 - 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 managements opinion, no accruals are necessary since these assessments are incorrect and were discharged in its bankruptcy proceedings. As the result of the Internal Revenue Service claim, similar claims were made by the New York State Income Tax Authorities which claims were negotiated and have been officially cancelled by the New York State Taxing Authorities on July 1, 2002. The Company has not received a follow up claim from Internal Revenue Service through June 30, 2004 since the original negotiations in 2000 and assumes the matter is closed.
NOTE 14 PREPAID ITEMS
At the Board of Directors Meeting held in September 2003 the Board approved the issuance of two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Corporation to the Directors in lieu of Directors Compensation and Directors Liability insurance for the ensuing year: Gino Scotto, Kit Wong, Patrick J. McDevitt, Joyce Clark and Maureen Plovnick each were issued five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at a price of ten cents ($0.10) per share, the equivalent of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for each Director, a total of $250,000. The $250,000 is recorded for shares issued as paid in capital. In the last quarter of 2003 and the first and second quarters of 2004, the Company expensed $125,000 as administrative expenses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Since we emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on September 29, 1998 we have had no revenues from operations. We sustained substantial losses from general administrative expenses amounting of $832,168 and $660,289 in year 2003 and 2002 and for the six (6) months ended June 30, 2004, $787,178 compared to a loss of $629,459 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Kenilworth has had no revenues from operations during the past fourteen (14) 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 in the industrialized world to play and wager on live in-progress simulcast casino table games on Roulabette terminals or television sets placed in hotels, resorts, bars and other public gathering places and in homes and offices or 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.
Roulabette terminals are television sets that are connected to private in-house televisions and movie networks as offered by hotels/resorts, horse and dog racetracks, off track betting (OTB) offices and public gathering places that use a single dish antenna and distribute the simulcast live, in-progress casino table games to their network of television sets.
A first step will be to conduct a three (3) month test of the system at a casino site to prove the viability of broadcasting live in-progress table games around the world. In previous years the company has tested the viability of its plans only in its laboratory.
To conduct the tests Kenilworth believes it will require initially five million dollars ($5,000,000) to (a) purchase special computers, digital television broadcast equipment and table games; and, (b) defray the cost of the facility and pay the salaries of twelve (12) 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 the additional 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, Convertible Promissory Notes, and 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 Roulabette terminals around the world and franchise television broadcasters, we expect to commence normal business operations. Kenilworth will also seek to obtain production financing from regular banking sources to finance the manufacturing of the Roulabette system. There can be no assurances that any such financing and approvals will be available to us.
