Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Bingo.com, Ltd.' s (the "Company") audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company' s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 31, 2010, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Continuing operations
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing. The Company has reported losses from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and has an accumulated deficit of $14,069,891 as at September 30, 2010.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts and settlement of the liability amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company' s financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company' s obligations. If management is unable to identify sources of additional cash flow in the short term, it may be required to further reduce or limit operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies:
(a) Basis of presentation:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company' s wholly-owned subsidiaries, English Bay Office Management Limited (registered in British Columbia, Canada), Bingo.com N.V. (registered in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles), Coral Reef Marketing Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp, Bingo.com Services Limited (registered in the United Kingdom) and the 99% owned subsidiaries, Bingo.com (UK) plc. (registered in the United Kingdom) and Bingo.com Operations Limited (registered in Malta). Bingo.com Services Limited and Bingo.com Operations Limited accounts are included up to the date of sale of these subsidiaries (Note 3). All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and recognized revenues and expenses for the reporting periods.
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the valuation of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
(c) Revenue recognition:
Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, including bonus wagered, less commissions on all games less all winnings payable to players.
Advertising revenues have been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured. Cash received in advance of the advertising campaigns or impressions and clicks are recorded under unearned revenue.
(d) Foreign currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements under Statement ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(d) Foreign currency: (Continued)
Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.
(e) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (previously SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets") and ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others (previously SFAS No. 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"). During the years presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company' s consolidated balance sheet are equipment, and domain name rights. These provisions require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.
(f) New accounting pronouncements:
In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate consideration to one or more units of accounting. Specifically, the guidance requires that consideration be allocated among multiple deliverables based on relative selling prices. The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy of (1) vendor-specific objective evidence, (2) third-party evidence and (3) estimated selling price. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010 but may be early adopted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements," which amends ASC 820, "Fair Value Measures and Disclosures." ASU 2010-06 requires disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also requires more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company), except for requirements related to Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company). This guidance requires new disclosures only, and will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(f) New accounting pronouncements: (Continued)
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, "Subsequent Events (Topic 855)." This update provides amendments to Subtopic 855-10-50-4 and related guidance within U.S. GAAP to clarify that an SEC registrant is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC' s requirements. The Company has adopted this standard and it will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables, Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and Allowances for Credit Losses. The standard requires additional disclosure related to the credit quality of financing receivables, troubled debt restructurings and significant purchases or sales of financing receivables during the period. The standard requires that these disclosures and existing disclosures be presented on a disaggregated basis, similar to the manner that the entity uses to evaluate its credit losses. Disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company) and disclosures of activity that occurred during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its disclosures.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), amending ASC 718. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the entity' s equity securities trade should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 also improves GAAP by improving consistency in financial reporting by eliminating diversity in practice. ASU 2010-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company) . The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-09, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company' s financial reporting and disclosures.
(g) Financial instruments:
(i) Fair values:
The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. The Company' s cash was measured using Level 1 inputs.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued):
(g) Financial instruments: (Continued)
(ii) Foreign currency risk:
The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has not entered into any forward exchange contracts or other derivative instrument to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
3. Sale of subsidiaries:
Effective April 30, 2010, the Company sold Bingo.com Services Limited and Bingo.com Operations Limited in an arms length transaction for $250,000. Due to the migrating onto the Unibet International Limited white label platform and the Company' s transition from providing active gaming operations to that of a marketing-focused entity, these subsidiaries and the assets contained therein no longer served a useful purpose to the Company.
The net assets of Bingo.com Services Limited and Bingo.com Operations Limited as at April 30, 2010 were as follows:

The rights to use the domain name bingo.com were acquired in January of 1999. The agreement was signed with Bingo, Inc., an unrelated party at the date of signing of the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make quarterly domain name purchase payments to the vendor based on 4% of annual gross revenue (as defined in the agreement), required over the 99 year period ended December 31, 2098. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the agreement was amended so that the remaining domain name purchase payments to the vendor are made monthly, based on 4% of the preceding month' s gross revenue. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company purchased the remaining Domain Name payments for $900,000, payable in 6,000,000 common shares of Bingo.com, Ltd., issued at the rate of $0.15 per share.
Domain name rights have been capitalized on the balance sheet based on the present value of the future minimum royalty payments. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others (previously SFAS No. 142), where companies are no longer permitted to amortize indefinite life intangible assets. The intangible asset consists of an email list of Games, Inc.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets.

11. Concentrations:
Major customers
For the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there was no single player on the gaming site who had wagered more than 10% of the total gaming revenue. The Company is reliant on Unibet International Limited (" Unibet" ) for the white label platform. The Company has a receivable from Unibet of $36,683 as at September 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009 - $nil).
During the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company offered limited advertising. Therefore there were no advertising sales representing more than 10% of the total sales.
12. Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
The Company currently maintains a substantial portion of its day-to-day operating cash balances at financial institutions. At September 30, 2010, the Company had total cash balances of $1,935,764 (December 31, 2010 - $557,251) at financial institutions, where $1,499,307 (December 31, 2009 - $91,023) is in excess of federally insured limit.
The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, as large amounts of its accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in Curacao and the United Kingdom amongst a small number of customers.
As of September 30, 2010, two customers totaling $38,286 and $36,683, who accounted for total accounts receivable greater than 10%. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had four customers, totaling $11,136, $5,951, $4,805 and $4,629 who accounted for greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable.
The Company controls credit risk through monitoring procedures and receiving prepayments of cash for services rendered. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

OVERVIEW
Bingo.com, Ltd. (the "Company") is in the business of owning and marketing a bingo based web portal designed to provide a variety of Internet based games played by individuals plus other forms of entertainment, including an online community, chat rooms, and more. Using our bingo.com domain name and incorporating a variety of games and content to attract and retain a large number of subscribers, we have built one of the leading bingo-based portals on the Internet. Our website has attracted millions of visitors of which over 1,990,000 have gone through a detailed sign-up process and become registered users. The levels of Internet traffic have a direct impact on our revenues as, generally, the greater the Internet traffic, the greater the amount of gaming or advertising revenue received.
We generate revenue from players depositing funds into their account on our website and then playing games for money. An additional source of revenue comes from selling advertising on our portal to other companies who wish to advertise their products to our user demographic. We obtained a gaming license and commenced gaming operations from Curacao, Netherlands Antilles in May 2005. The Company was granted a license by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta, and commenced operating under this Maltese license in March 2009. This license enabled us to advertise in the United Kingdom. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we migrated to the Unibet International Limited (" Unibet" ) partner program as a network operator of their multi-language and multi-currency bingo and casino systems. Our players now play pursuant to Unibet' s licences in the relevant jurisdictions. Bingo.com players will be combined with the gaming liquidity on Unibet' s popular Mariabingo.com and Bingo.se websites to create one of the largest and most international online bingo systems in operation.
Our website provides players the ability to purchase bingo cards online for cash, with the winner of each bingo game winning a percentage of the total cards purchased for that particular bingo game. The bingo.com website is divided into two main sections: (1) the main section is accessible to players from countries where the Company offers its pay-to-play games; and, (2) the second section focused on a free-to-play offering for the remaining countries. Depending on the pay-to-play or free-to-play section of the website, the Company provides online entertainment content to players consisting of multiplayer bingo games, video poker, casino games and slot machines. We also offer all our players other forms of entertainment such as chat rooms and member profiles.
We intend to build the existing business by marketing to many different languages and currencies that we expect will hold existing subscribers as well as attract new subscribers and allow us to generate more revenue.
We have made a significant investment in the development of our website, purchase of domain name, branding, marketing, and maintaining operations. As a result we have incurred significant losses since inception, and as of September 30, 2010, had an accumulated deficit of $14,069,891.
On September 30, 2006, the United States Senate passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act 2006 (" UIGEA" ), which was signed into law by President Bush, on October 13, 2006. The legislation aimed to prohibit the funding of illegal online gambling to United States citizens and residents. Effective October 12, 2006, in response to the UIGEA we sold our United States player database and related assets to an unrelated company. The asset disposition includes the registered online gaming players, the gaming servers, and the complete database of real money players. The asset disposition price was $1,200,050 payable at a variable rate over the coming months.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we launched our United Kingdom focused website, with games targeted to the United Kingdom audience and the games played in British pounds sterling. Gaming revenue from the Bingo.com website accounted for approximately 85% of our revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which except for lack of all detailed note disclosures, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require the most subjective judgment:
- Revenue recognition;
- Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of;
Revenue recognition:
The Company generates the majority of its revenue from gaming revenue. Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, including bonus wagered, less commissions on all games less all winnings payable to players.
Advertising revenues have been recognized as the advertising campaign or impressions and clicks are made on the website and when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured. Cash received in advance of the advertising campaigns or impressions and clicks are recorded under unearned revenue.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (previously SFAS No. 144 " Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ) and ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others (previously SFAS No. 142 " Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ). During the years presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company' s consolidated balance sheet are equipment, and domain name rights. These provisions require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue, less commissions, decreased to $97,509 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 93% from revenue of $1,436,296 for third quarter of 2009 and a decrease of 72% from revenue of $353,619 in the second quarter of 2010. Gaming Revenue, less commissions, decreased to $82,745, a decrease of 94% in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to Gaming Revenue of $1,383,534 in the third quarter of 2009 and a 75% decrease from revenue of $333,115 in the second quarter of 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we migrated our players to Bingo.com players to the Unibet partner program. The decrease compared to the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, is due to a decrease in cash game play, especially as a result of a second platform change within six months. We earned advertising revenue of $14,764 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 72% from advertising revenue of $52,762 in the third quarter of 2009 and a decrease of 28% from advertising revenue of $20,504 in the second quarter of 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010 the Company suspended sales of new advertising.
Cost of producing revenue
We recorded cost of producing revenue of $nil during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to costs of $962,525 for the third quarter of 2009 and a decrease over costs of $294,618 in the second quarter of 2010. Previously cost of producing revenue consisted of bonuses granted on deposits made by players, the cost of hosting the website, payment processing fees in relation to deposits from and withdrawals to our players, software license fees, and the domain name purchase payments. These functions have now been taken on by Unibet International Limited in their Unibet partner program, in exchange for a commission on the white label revenue payment.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 91% to $39,309 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to sales and marketing expenses of $427,311 in the third quarter of 2009 and an increase of 17% from expenses of $33,630 in the second quarter of 2010. Sales and marketing expenses principally include costs for signup bonuses, marketing, prizes for our players and other bonuses and incentives offered to gaming players. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009, is due to migration to the Unibet partner program where significantly lower marketing bonus are granted to players.
We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses to increase traffic and, consequently, deposits to our web portal. These costs will include affiliate commissions, salaries, television and internet based advertising, and other promotional expenses intended to increase our subscriber base and improve gaming revenue. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant additional revenue.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of premises costs for our office, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $70,486 for the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of 44% from costs of $126,784 for the third quarter of 2009 and a decrease of 19% from costs of $87,130 in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, is due to migration to the Unibet partner program whereby we have reduced many of our costs, especially the development of the bingo.com website.
Page 19
We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.
Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits
Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits decreased by 35% to $172,757 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to salaries, wages, consultants and benefits of $265,265 in the third quarter of 2009 and a decrease of 37% over salaries, wages, consultants and benefits of to $274,923 in the second quarter of 2010. The majority of the Company' s salaries, wages, consultants and benefits are incurred in Canadian Dollars. Due to the migration to the Unibet partner program, we no longer required certain staff so we have reduced staff and paid out retrenchment packages in the first and second quarter of 2010.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of our equipment, as well as amortization of intangible asset relating to the email list. Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $6,420 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 65% over costs of $18,372 during the same quarter in the prior year and a decrease of 34% from costs of $9,686 in the second quarter of 2010. This decrease in depreciation and amortization is due to the sale of the subsidiary, Bingo.com Operations Limited during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and the disposal of old obsolete equipment during the second and third quarters of 2010. We incurred a loss on disposal of equipment of $20,753 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to a loss on disposal of equipment of $1,240 in the third quarter of 2009 and a loss on disposal of equipment of $5,792 in the second quarter of 2010.
Stock based Compensation
Stock based compensation increased to $51,893 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase over stock based compensation of $24,099 during the same quarter in the prior year and an increase from stock based compensation of $7,768 in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in stock based compensation compared to the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, is due to the issuance of new stock options to staff and the amendment to all outstanding unvested options, to amend them to vest immediately during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Profit on sale of US Gaming players
Effective October 12, 2006, the Company, in response to the United States Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, sold its United States players and related assets for $1,200,050, to an arms length third party payable by the purchaser at a variable rate over the subsequent months until fully paid. We recognize the profit from the sale of these assets as and when payment is received. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we collected $nil of the $1,200,050 due, compared to payments received of $20,000 during the same quarter in the prior year and $nil in the second quarter of 2010. The purchaser has during the third quarter of 2010, sold it assets. Therefore we consider that $619,550 of the original purchase price will never be collected.
Income taxes
The Company incurred income tax expense of $nil during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, in relation to profits earned in its subsidiaries in different jurisdictions, compared to income tax expense of $1 during the third quarter of 2009 and compared to income tax expense of $31,970 during the second quarter of 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2005, Bingo.com, Inc. merged with its subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. in Anguilla, British West Indies. Anguilla is a zero tax jurisdiction.

Net loss and loss per share
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010, amounted to $245,507, a loss of $0.00 per share, a decrease in net loss of 37% compared to a net loss of $390,432, a loss of $0.01 per share for the same period in 2009 and an increase in net loss compared to a net loss of $27,977or $0.00 per share in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009, is due to the reduction in expenses as a result of migrating to the Unibet partner platform. The increase in net loss compared to the second quarter of 2010 is due to the reversal of the progressive jackpot provision and the profit from the sale of the subsidiaries Bingo.com Services Limited and Bingo.com Operations Limited in the second quarter of 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had cash of $1,935,764 and a working capital of $1,975,643 at September 30, 2010. This compares to cash of $557,251 and a negative working capital of $19,801 at December 31, 2009.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Bingo.com, Ltd. purchased of the remaining Domain Name payments for $900,000, payable in 6,000,000 common shares of Bingo.com, Ltd., issued at the rate of $0.15 per share.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Bingo.com, Ltd. completed a private placement offering with Unibet Group plc of 15 million shares at $0.15 per share. Total proceeds of the offering were $2,250,000.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the shares were issued in relation to the 1,360,000 private placement closed in the fourth quarter of 2009.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we used cash of $293,370 from operating activities compared to using cash of $332,255 in the same period in the prior year and compared to using cash of $553,633 in the second quarter of 2010. This decrease compared to the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, is due to the migration to the Unibet partner platform, whereby many of the expenses have now been taken on by Unibet International Limited in their Unibet partner program, in exchange for a commission on the white label revenue payment.
Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including costs associated with the marketing of our Web portal, the success and acceptance of gaming operations and the possible acquisition of complementary businesses, products and technologies.

ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company's management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, in the course of this evaluation, management considered certain internal control areas, in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2010, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the "reasonable assurance" level mentioned above) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
From time-to-time, the Company and its management have conducted and will continue to conduct further reviews and, from time to time put in place additional documentation, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting. The Company may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness, as well as changes aimed at ensuring that the Company's systems evolve with, and meet the needs of, the Company's business. These changes may include changes necessary or desirable to address recommendations of the Company's management, its counsel and/or its independent auditors, including any recommendations of its independent auditors arising out of their audits and reviews of the Company's financial statements. These changes may include changes to the Company's own systems, as well as to the systems of businesses that the Company has acquired or that the Company may acquire in the future and will, if made, be intended to enhance the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures. The Company is also continually striving to improve its management and operational efficiency and the Company expects that its efforts in that regard will from time to time directly or indirectly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in the Company' s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company' s internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
