ITEM 1. BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

Shoal Games Ltd. (the "Company") owns and markets a non-gambling social bingo game called Trophy Bingo.  Trophy Bingo is an innovative free-to-play mobile game live in the Apple, Google and Amazon App Stores.  Trophy Bingo brings unique gameplay and industry leading monetization techniques to the bingo category which is both high growth and high value.  The game is free to download and supports in-app purchases and in-game advertising for players who want to engage with the premium features contained in the game.  In-game purchases are transactions made from within a mobile game that are processed by the platform provider (Apple iOS; Google Android; Amazon Android).  The worldwide full launch and marketing of Trophy Bingo commenced in the third quarter of 2015 when the latest version of Trophy Bingo was released world-wide in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on all supported mobile phones and tablet devices.

The Company generates its main source of revenue from players making in-app purchases in Trophy Bingo via the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store and the Amazon Store. An additional source of revenue comes from serving advertising to our user demographic inside the Trophy Bingo game.  Through relationships we have with advertising aggregators and providers, companies pay to have their products and services promoted in our App, or previously, on our web site and in some cases produced residual revenues as their customers continue to play or use their services.

Prior to December 31, 2014 the Company provided a variety of Internet games plus other forms of entertainment, including an online community, chat rooms, and more. This portion of the business was sold to Unibet, plc on December 31, 2014 and can be viewed at www.bingo.com.

We conducted a beta test launch of Trophy Bingo in May 2013, followed by a global soft launch of the enhanced game on Android in August, 2014 and on iOS in September 2014.  Trophy Bingo was released worldwide in the Google Play Store on August 12, 2015, in the Apple App Store on September 3, 2015, and in the Amazon Appstore on November 30, 2015.

History and Corporate Structure

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Florida on January 12, 1987.

Effective January 22, 1999, the Company acquired the use of the second level domain name bingo.com and embarked on our business strategy to become a leading online provider of bingo based games and entertainment.

Effective April 7, 2005, the shares of Bingo.com, Ltd. by way of a merger between Bingo.com, Inc. and Bingo.com, Ltd., began trading under the new ticker symbol "BNGOF".

On January 22, 2015, Bingo.com, Ltd. filed Articles of Amendment with the Anguilla Registrar of Companies changing its name to "Shoal Games Ltd.".  Effective at the open of markets on January 27, 2015, the Common Shares commenced trading under the new trading symbol "SGLDF" on the OTC-QB.

On June 29, 2015, the Company filed a TSX Venture Exchange Listing Application for the TSX-V listing and commenced trading on July 2, 2015, under the symbol "SGW".

We conduct our business through the Anguilla incorporated entity and through our wholly-owned subsidiaries English Bay Office Management Limited ("English Bay"), Shoal Games (UK) plc ("Shoal UK"), Coral Reef Marketing Inc. ("Coral Reef") and Shoal Media Inc.

English Bay was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, on February 10, 1998, as 559262 B.C. Ltd. and changed its name to Bingo.com (Canada) Enterprises Inc. on February 11, 1999. It subsequently changed its name to English Bay Office Management Limited on September 8, 2003.

On August 15, 2002, we acquired 99% of the share capital of Shoal UK. Shoal UK was incorporated under the laws of England and Wales on August 18, 2000, as CellStop plc. and changed its name to Bingo.com (UK) plc. on August 5, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company changed the name of the company to Shoal Games (UK) plc.

On January 21, 2008, Coral Reef Marketing Inc., was incorporated under the laws of Anguilla, British West Indies.

On January 1, 2013, we acquired 100% of the share capital of Shoal Media Inc., an Anguillian Company.

We also maintain a number of inactive wholly-owned subsidiaries.  These are:

-   Bingo.com (Antigua), Inc., ("Bingo.com (Antigua") incorporated as an Antigua International Business Corporation on April 7, 1999, as Star Communications Ltd. and changed its name to Bingo.com. (Antigua), Inc. on April 21, 1999; 

-   Bingo.com (Wyoming), Inc., incorporated in the State of Wyoming on July 14, 1999;

-   Bingo.com Acquisition Corp., incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 9, 2001.

All three of the inactive subsidiaries were incorporated to facilitate the implementation of business plans that we have since modified and refocused and, consequently, there is no activity in these entities.

Our common shares are currently quoted on the Over the Counter Markets - The Venture Marketplace ("OTCQB") operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol "SGLDF" and on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada under the symbol "SGW".  We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceedings.

Development of the Business

Our current business strategy is to manage and grow our business with minimal overhead, focusing on our major asset, the social bingo game Trophy Bingo.

Bingo.com Domain Name

On January 18, 1999, we purchased the exclusive right to use the domain name bingo.com from a then unrelated company, Bingo, Inc., an Anguilla corporation, for (i) a $200,000 cash payment, (ii) 500,000 shares of our common stock (at a value of $2.00 per share) and (iii) an agreement to pay, on an ongoing basis, the Domain Name Purchase price amounting to 4% of our annual gross revenues, with a total minimum guaranteed Domain Name Purchase payment of $1,100,000 in the first three years of the 99 year period ending December 31, 2098. The value of the bingo.com domain name was based on factors such as the ability for us to create a brand for our website based on the name, the ease of Internet search ability of the domain name, and the ability of visitors to our website to remember and associate the name with our website and business. We negotiated the terms of the domain name acquisition at arms' length, and we believe the consideration we paid for the domain name was reasonable.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the agreement was amended so that the remaining Domain Name Purchase payments to the vendor were made monthly, based on 4% of the preceding month's gross revenue.

In the latter half of fiscal 2010, the Company engaged an independent valuation company, to value the remaining 4% Domain Name Purchase payments.  The Company reviewed the independent valuation and after considering this and other external variables, the Company and Bingo, Inc., the holder of the 4% Domain Name Purchase payments, agreed that the value of the 4% Domain Name Purchase payments to be $900,000. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company purchased the remaining Domain Name Purchase payments for $900,000 from Bingo, Inc., with the issuance of 6,000,000 common shares of Bingo.com, Ltd., at a value of $0.15 per share.

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company sold the Bingo.com domain name to Unibet Group plc for $8 million. The Company received cash consideration of $2,000,000 and the redemption of the 15,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share, which were held by Unibet. The 15,000,000 common shares held by Unibet Group plc. have been returned to the Company's treasury and subsequently canceled.

Shoal Games Domain Names

We own the domain names Shoalgames.com, Shoalgames.net, Shoalmedia.com, Shoalmedia.net, Trophybingo.com, Trophybingo.net, and Trophybingo.ca.  On January 22, 2015, the Company changed its name from Bingo.com, Ltd. to Shoal Games Ltd. and on January 27, 2015 commenced trading on the OTCQB exchange with the symbol SGLDF. On July 2, 2015, the Company additionally commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchanged with the symbol "SGW".

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Our objective is to become a leading social bingo game provider. We intend to leverage the worldwide popularity of bingo with the growth of social games to make Trophy Bingo a top grossing title.

We are in the business of owning and marketing Trophy Bingo, an innovative, non-gambling social bingo game, currently live in the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store and the Amazon Appstore. Trophy Bingo is an innovative free-to-play mobile game live in the Apple, Google and Amazon App Stores.  Trophy Bingo brings unique gameplay and industry leading monetization techniques to the bingo category which is both high growth and high value.  The game is free to download and supports in-app purchases and in-game advertising for players who want to engage with the premium features contained in the game. 

Gaming Revenue Business

During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, Bingo.com, N.V., a subsidiary of Bingo.com, Ltd., commenced gaming for cash whereby players purchase bingo cards and wager on other soft games such as video poker, hi-lo, and slots with the target audience being the United States and the games played in US dollars.

 Page 5

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 included the registered online gaming players, the gaming servers, and the complete database of real money players.

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.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we migrated to the Unibet's Partner Program as a network operator of their multi-language and multi-currency bingo and casino systems.

Effective December 31, 2014, we sold the domain name, www.bingo.com and its online gambling community to Unibet Group plc. and changed our name from Bingo.com, Ltd. to Shoal Games ltd.  The Company's focus is now on its social bingo game, Trophy Bingo.

Advertising Revenue Business

We have in the past used the appeal of the bingo.com domain name to sell advertising on the free section of our website, which, initially, was our primary revenue source. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we commenced offering traditional bingo and other pay-for-play games to our players, which replaced advertising as our main source of revenue.

Upon selling the pay-for-play games to Unibet on December 31, 2014, residual revenues from the advertising revenue from the bingo.com website accounted for approximately 11% of our revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.

            Social Bingo Business

The Company is now developing a social bingo game called Trophy Bingo on Apple's iOS, Google's Android and Amazon Android systems primarily on smartphones and tablets.  Trophy Bingo was soft launched in August 2014 and launched worldwide in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Revenue will be generated in the game via in-app purchases for players who find themselves in need of extra bingos or want to engage with the premium power plays contained in the game. Trophy Bingo also offers companies the ability to provide advertising to players in a non-intrusive manner on a pay per view basis to the Company.

The Niche

We continue to work towards positioning ourselves as a leading social bingo game provider.  We believe the size of the worldwide social bingo community and the entertainment offered by Trophy Bingo provide us with an opportunity to build a large loyal base of daily visitors from around the world.

We believe that social bingo games are valuable entertainment in today's mobile-first environment and that mobile bingo games are a compelling entertainment medium for a mass user audience.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our objective is to become a leading social bingo game publisher with Trophy Bingo. We are pursuing this objective through the following strategies:

Revenue streams

In year ended December 31, 2015, we earned revenue from the social bingo segment from Trophy Bingo, whereby players make in-app purchases to earn in-game currency which they can then spend on extra bingos or on the premium power plays contained within the game. In addition, Trophy Bingo generates in revenue using a free-to-play strategy where players can choose to watch advertising.

In 2015 we generated 89% of revenue from our social bingo game.

 Page 6

Social Bingo Plans

The Company has a host of new features currently in development that are intended for release in the Trophy Bingo game. The Company intends to complete the software development presently underway before expanding our marketing efforts beyond the current maintenance level.  One of the features in development is a viral social referral system.  Trophy Bingo will contain many social features that are designed to increase the number of players downloading the App which, in turn, decreases our per player acquisition costs.  When marketing does commence, and as the player volume increases, the viral aspects of the game will play an increasingly important role, as they will significantly increase the number of players in Trophy Bingo at no incremental cost to the Company.  

Marketing Strategy

Our goal is for Trophy Bingo to become one of the most recognized and most visited social bingo games on the Internet, in the Google Play Store, in the Apple App Store and in the Amazon App Store. We intend to continue building a social community consisting of a dedicated and loyal player base that will support our ability to generate both advertising and in-app purchase revenues.

OPERATIONS

Employees

As of December 31, 2015, we had one full-time employee, not including temporary personnel, consultants, and independent contractors. Since 2006 it has been, and continues to be, the Company's objective to control its costs by retaining consultants, as needed, to provide special expertise in developing internal strategic, marketing, accounting and technical services, while outsourcing our development requirements. None of our employees or consultants are represented by a labor union, and we believe that our relationship with our employees and consultants is good.

We are substantially dependent upon the continued services and performance of J. M. Williams, Chief Executive Officer and T. M. Williams, Executive Chairman. The loss of the services of these key individuals would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not carry any key man life insurance on any individuals.

            Seasonality

We do not believe that seasonality has an effect on our traffic volumes or our revenue realization.

            Competition

Mobile bingo is a relatively new industry that has been overlooked, underestimated and generally misunderstood by the large players in the social gaming industry.  Bingo has been seen as an "old ladies game" not worthy of a concentrated marketing and development effort.  The biggest successes in the mobile bingo industry have been the niche companies that understand the bingo market and not the larger companies that are, typically, from a video game or gaming background.  Larger operators have acquired the companies behind the leading social bingo games.  Caesars Interactive Entertainment acquired Buffalo Studios, the makers of Bingo Blitz, in 2012 for $53 million.  More recently in 2014, GSN Games purchased Bash Gaming, the makers of Bingo Bash, for $160 million.  The Company views these acquisitions as additional confirmation that the social bingo marketplace is valuable and will support another market entrant.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

Our company is in the business of marketing Trophy Bingo, a form of entertainment focused on the game of bingo.  To the best of our knowledge, no federal, state or local environmental laws are applicable to our business.

OVERVIEW

From 1999 to 2014, we have been focused on providing online bingo games over the Internet to players around the world. We began to experience revenue growth from the advertising contained in these games in fiscal 2000. In early 2005 we expanded our entertainment offering to include bingo games for money as well as soft games such as video poker, slots and hi-lo.  In 2010, the Company joined the Unibet Partner Program, and focused on marketing its offering to players around the world. On December 31, 2014 we sold our internet gaming business and our www.bingo.com domain name to Unibet Group plc.

In 2014, we earned revenue from our gaming segment, whereby the Company drove players to the bingo.com website which under the Unibet Partner Program offered bingo and other games, such as slots and casino, for money to our players. Effective December 31, 2014 this was discontinued.

In 2015 we earned 89% of our revenue from our social bingo game Trophy Bingo.  The game is free to download and supports in-app purchases and in-game advertising for players who want to engage with the premium features contained in the game. 

Since inception we have made a significant investment in the development of our website, development of Trophy Bingo, purchase of domain names, branding, marketing, maintaining operations and development of Trophy Bingo.  As a result we have incurred significant losses since inception, and as of December 31, 2015, had an accumulated deficit of $18,407,136.

Moving forward, we will continue to control operating costs and expansion costs with the objective to operate profitably and efficiently.

The consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, and the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015, and 2014, are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 7 of this report, which have been audited by Davidson and Company LLP, independent auditors. The consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, are derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included in this report. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, Bingo.com joined the Unibet International Limited ("Unibet") Partner Program as a network operator of their multi-language and multi-currency bingo

 Page 13

and casino system. This agreement continued until December 31, 2014 at which time the agreement was terminated along with the sale of the domain name, www.bingo.com, and our cash gaming data base of players to Unibet Group plc.

The Company is now focused in growing its social bingo game Trophy Bingo.  During the second quarter of 2013, the Company beta launched Trophy Bingo in selected jurisdictions. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company soft launched Trophy Bingo. Trophy Bingo was released worldwide in the Google Play Store on August 12, 2015, in the Apple App Store on September 3, 2015, and in the Amazon Appstore on November 30, 2015.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following discussion of critical accounting policies is intended to supplement the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies presented as Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this report.  Note 2 summarize the accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The policies discussed below were selected because they require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation and presentation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these judgments and estimates, including whether there are any uncertainties as to compliance with the revenue recognition criteria described below, and recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the assessment as to whether there are contingent assets and liabilities that should be recognized or disclosed for the consolidated financial statements to fairly present the information required to be set forth therein. We base our estimates on historical experience, as well as other events and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Trophy Bingo revenues have been recognized from the sale of in-game purchases at the time of purchase. The revenue from in-game advertising is recognized when advertising is served to the player.

Advertising revenues, not generated in Trophy Bingo, have been recognized when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured. Cash received in advance of the advertising campaigns are recorded under unearned revenue.

Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, less commissions on all games, less all winnings payable to players.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any software development costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.  The Company capitalized 100% of its development costs of Trophy Bingo in 2013. Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company commenced amortizing the capitalized software development costs over a period of 3 years and all further development costs have been expensed. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs, using a net realizable value test.

SOURCES OF REVENUE AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

We generate our revenue from the following:

-   The sale of in-app purchases in Trophy Bingo in the Google play, Apple iOS and Amazon App stores.

-   In-game advertising, whereby players watch advertising to gain in-game currency.

-   The sale of advertising on our website. We recognize revenue on this basis based on the amount paid to us upon the delivery and fulfillment of advertising, provided that the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

-  In 2014, we generated revenue from marketing our website to drive players to our website which under the Unibet Partner Program provides Internet games for money. We recognized revenue on this basis based on the total dollars wagered, including bonus wagered, less commissions on all games less all winnings payable to players.

            Revenue

Advertising Revenue decreased to $12,196 for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 46% over revenue of $22,655 for the same period in the prior year.

Gaming revenue from discontinued operations was $nil for the year ended December 31, 2015 over gaming revenue of $1,684,047 for the same period in the prior year.

            Selling and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses from continuing operations were $549,534 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 122% over expenses of $247,258 for the same period in the prior year. This increase in sales and marketing expenses from continuing operations in 2015 was due to a

 Page 16

larger marketing campaign to attract players to the new Trophy Bingo game. Selling and marketing expenses from continuing operations principally include publishing services and user acquisition costs to acquire players. 

Sales and marketing expenses from discontinued operations were $nil for the year ended December 31, 2015, over expenses of $628,029 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses to increase traffic and bring new players to the Trophy Bingo game. 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 increased to $356,647 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 68% over costs of $212,649 for the previous year. General and administrative expenses have increased in comparison to the prior year due to expenses incurred in listing the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange. These expenses included legal fees, exchange fees and transfer agent fees.

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 expenses decreased to $429,072 during the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 18% over costs of $520,287 for the previous year. Due to the decline in continued and discontinued operations revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015, there was a decline in revenue share commissions paid to certain staff. In addition, certain of the Company's salaries, wages, consultants and benefits expenses are incurred in Canadian Dollars. The decline in the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar has led to a decline in salaries, wages, consultants and benefits expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Depreciation and amortization

Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years.  Depreciation decreased to $3,467 during the year ended December 31, 2015, over depreciation of $3,470 during the prior year. This decrease in depreciation and amortization compared to fiscal 2014, is due to the aging of the Company's equipment and the disposal of obsolete equipment.

Trophy Bingo development and amortization

Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company ceased to capitalize the development costs of Trophy Bingo and commenced amortizing the capitalized development costs over the life of the game. The Company expensed $1,230,216 in Trophy Bingo development costs during the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 4% over $1,181,382 of Trophy Bingo development costs in the prior year. In addition, the Company amortized $482,012 (2014 - $482,013) of the capitalized development costs during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Other income and expenses

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has a foreign exchange loss of $33,758 compared to foreign exchange gains of $44,617 in the prior year. These losses are due to the exchange rate movements of the US Dollar compared to the Pound Sterling and the Canadian Dollar.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we received interest income of $1,089, an increase of 114% compared to interest income of $510 in the prior year. The interest income is received from bank term deposits from investing our cash. The increase in interest income is due to the funds received in the sale of Bingo.com URL and Cash Bingo business in the year ended December 31, 2014.

 Page 17

            Income taxes

The Company incurred income tax expense of $480 during the year ended December 31, 2015, in relation to profits earned in its subsidiaries in different jurisdictions compared to income tax expense of $848 in the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Bingo.com, Inc. merged with its subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. in Anguilla, British West Indies. Anguilla is a zero tax jurisdiction.

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company sold its URL www.bingo.com and its online gambling business to Unibet Group plc ("Unibet") for total consideration of $8,000,000. The Company received cash consideration of $2,000,000 and redemption of the 15,000,000 common shares of the Company, which were held by Unibet. The 15,000,000 common shares held by Unibet have been returned to the Company's treasury and cancelled. The Company recorded a gain from the sale of $6,677,759 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $16,305 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

            Net loss and loss per share

The net loss after taxation from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, amounted to ($2,981,987), a loss of ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of ($2,671,544) or a loss of ($0.04) per share in the twelve months ending December 31, 2014. 

The net loss after taxation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, amounted to ($2,965,682), a loss of ($0.05) per share, compared to a net gain of $5,062,233 or $0.07 per share in the twelve months ending December 31, 2014.  The decrease in net income is due to the sale of the domain name in the year ended December 31, 2014 and expenses incurred in listing the Company on the TSX Venture exchange.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash of $570,086 and working capital of $454,447 at December 31, 2015. This compares to cash of $2,876,386 and working capital of $2,856,230 at December 31, 2014.

Net cash generated by financing activities was $77,250 in the year ended December 31, 2015, which compares to cash generated by financing activity of $1,409,350 in fiscal 2014. This cash generated by financing activity is due to the cash raised from option holders exercising their options during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to three private placements placed in the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cash of $512 used in investing activities in fiscal 2015, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $1,878,330 in the prior year. This decrease in cash provided by investing activities is due to sale of the domain name in fiscal 2014.

Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including costs associated with marketing of our Web portal, the further development of Trophy Bingo, the cost of marketing and player acquisition costs for Trophy Bingo, and the success and acceptance of Trophy Bingo.

            Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any Off Balance sheet arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of

Shoal Games Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Shoal Games Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets of Shoal Games Ltd. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Shoal Games Ltd as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Shoal Games Ltd. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Shoal Games Ltd. has suffered recurring losses from operations.  This matter, along with the other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.    Introduction:

Nature of business

Shoal Games Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 12, 1987, under the laws of the State of Florida as Progressive General Lumber Corp. On January 22, 1999, the Company changed its name to Bingo.com, Inc. On April 7, 2005, Bingo.com, Inc. completed a merger with its wholly- owned subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. The surviving corporation of the merger is Bingo.com, Ltd. which is domiciled in Anguilla, British West Indies. Effective Thursday, April 7, 2005, the shares of Bingo.com, Ltd. began trading under the new ticker symbol "BNGOF". During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company changed its name to Shoal Games Ltd. and changed its ticker symbol to "SGLDF". Effective July 2, 2015, the Company additionally listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "SGW".

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company sold its Internet portal, www.bingo.com and focused on the continued development and marketing of its social bingo game, Trophy Bingo.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company was in the business of owning and marketing a non-gambling social bingo game called Trophy Bingo.  Trophy Bingo is a free-to-play mobile game live in the Apple, Google and Amazon App Stores. The game is free to download and supports in-app purchases and in-game advertising for players who want to engage with the premium features contained in the game.  In-game purchases are transactions made from within a mobile game that are processed by the platform provider (Apple iOS; Google Android; Amazon Android).  The worldwide full launch and marketing of Trophy Bingo commenced in the third quarter of 2015 when the latest version of Trophy Bingo was released world-wide in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on all supported mobile phones and tablet devices.

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 year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and has an accumulated deficit of $18,407,136 as at December 31, 2015.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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

1.    Introduction: (Continued)

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.

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 ("US GAAP") applicable to annual financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, English Bay Office Management Limited (registered in British Columbia, Canada) subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2015, this was renamed Shoal Media (Canada) Inc., Coral Reef Marketing Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Shoal Media Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp, and the 99% owned subsidiary, Shoal Games (UK) plc. (registered in the United Kingdom). All 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 US GAAP, 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:

Trophy Bingo revenues have been recognized from the sale of in-game purchases at the time of purchase. The revenue from in-game advertising is recognized when advertising is served to the player.

Advertising revenues, not generated in Trophy Bingo, have been recognized when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured. Cash received in advance of the advertising campaigns are recorded under unearned revenue.

Gaming revenues have been recognized on the basis of total dollars wagered, less commissions on all games, less all winnings payable to players.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(d)   Foreign currency:

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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.

Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.

(e) Accounts receivable:

Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable includes receivables from payment processors and trade receivables from customers. The Company estimates doubtful accounts on an item-by-item basis and includes over-aged accounts as part of allowance for doubtful accounts, which are generally ones that are ninety-days overdue.  Bad debt expense, for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $nil (2014 - $nil).

(f)   Equipment:

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for annually on the declining balance method over the following periods :

                                    Equipment and computers               3 years

                        Furniture and fixtures                       5 years

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposition of equipment are included in income or expenses as realized.

(g) Software Development Costs: 

Software development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred once technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any software development costs are capitalized and amortized at the greater of the straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the related product. Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company obtained technological feasibility and is amortizing the capitalized software development

Page 28

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(g) Software Development Costs:  (Continued)

costs over a period of 3 years. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs, using a net realizable value test.

If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and the Company may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.  Total software development costs for the development of Trophy Bingo were $3,857,636 as at December 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $2,627,420).

 (h) Advertising:

The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period in which the advertising space or airtime is used. Advertising costs from continuing operations charged to selling and marketing expenses in 2015 totaled $549,534 (2014 - $247,258) and advertising costs from discontinued operations charged to selling and marketing expenses in 2015 totaled $nil (2014 - $628,029). 

(i)   Stock-based compensation:

The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award.

(j)   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 and ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others. During the years presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheet are equipment, other assets, security deposits, 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(k)  Income taxes:

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period.  Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered and settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when it is not more likely than not that such future tax assets will be realized.

(l)   Net (loss) income per share:

ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share", requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if outstanding options or warrants were exercised and converted into common stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. A total of nil (2014 - nil) stock options were excluded as at December 31, 2015.

(l)   Net (loss) income per share: (Continued)

The earnings per share data for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

(m) Domain name and intangible assets:

The Company has capitalized the cost of the purchase of the domain name Bingo.com and was amortizing the cost over five years from the date of commencement of operations. In 2002, the Company suspended the amortization of the domain name cost in accordance with ASC 350, where companies are no longer required to amortize indefinite life assets but instead test the indefinite intangible asset for impairment at least annually. The capitalized amount is based on the net present value of the minimum payments permitted under the terms of the purchase agreement. The domain name is tested for impairment by comparing the future cash flows of the domain name with its carrying value. The Company determined that as a result of level 3 unobservable inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that the fair value of the domain name exceeded the carrying value and therefore no impairment existed for the years presented.

(n)  New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies:

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08), Under this revised guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations, such as a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business or a major equity method investment, will be presented as discontinued operations.

(n)  New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies: (Continued)

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This was updated by ASU No. 2015-14. This guidance provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The revenue guidance contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard was amended to be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public entities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and sets rules for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-15 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. This standard requires an entity to "determine the nature of the host contract by considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument, weighing each term and feature on the basis of the relevant facts and

circumstances which the hybrid financial instrument was issued or acquired and the potential outcome of the hybrid financial instrument.  ASU 2014-16 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-16 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, which eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, it is segregated from the results of ordinary operations and is shown as a separate item in the income statement, net of tax. ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, which provides guidance for reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with ASU 2015-02, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date; however, if the proposed deferral is approved, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

On April 17, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability.  Currently, debt issuance costs are recorded as an asset and amortization of these deferred financing costs is recorded in interest expense.  Under the new standard, debt issuance costs will continue to be amortized over the life of the debt instrument and amortization will continue to be recorded in interest expense.  The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and will be applied on a retrospective basis.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing

Page 33

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(n)  New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies: (Continued)

Arrangement.  The amendments in ASU 2015-05 provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer's accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets.  ASU 2015-05 is effective for public entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not anticipate that ASU 2015-05 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments guidance to simplify the accounting for adjustments in a business combination. An acquirer should recognize adjustments to provisional amounts with a corresponding adjustment of goodwill, as well as the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are identified as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Disclosure is required, by line item, of the amount recorded in current period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires prospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption being permitted. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of ASU 2015-17 on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), which requires that equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price

(n)  New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies: (Continued)

changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also impacts the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The ASU does not significantly change the lessees' recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors' accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, the ASU expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

There have been no other recent accounting standards, or changes in accounting standards, during the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the recent accounting standards described in the Annual Report, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to us.

(o) Financial instruments:

(i)  Fair values:

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related party approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.  Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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.

These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management evaluated of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), based on the framework set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation, we believe that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective under the COSO framework.

(c)        Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls during the year ended December 31, 2015, and to the date of filing this annual report.

Our Board of Directors administers the 1999 Stock Option Plan, the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2005 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Stock Option Plans"). Our Board is authorized to construe and interpret the provisions of the Stock Option Plans, to select employees, directors and consultants to whom options will be granted, to determine the terms and conditions of options and, with the consent of the grantee, to amend the terms of any outstanding options.

The 1999 stock option plan may be granted to employees and to such other persons who are not employees as determined by the 1999 stock option plan administrator (the "Administrator").  In determining the number of shares of our Common Stock subject to each option granted under the 1999 stock option plan, consideration is given to the present and potential contribution by such person to the success of the Company.  The exercise price is determined by the Administrator, provided that the exercise price for any covered employee (as that term is defined for the purposes of Section 162(m) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"), may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Common Stock at the date of grant by the Administrator.  Each option is for a term not in excess of ten years except in the case of the death of an optionee, in which case the option is exercisable for a maximum of twelve months thereafter, or in the case of an optionee ceasing to be a participant under the 1999 stock option plan for any reason other than cause or death, in which case the option is exercisable for a maximum of 30 days thereafter.  The 1999 stock option plan does not provide for the granting of financial assistance, whether by way of a loan, guarantee or otherwise, by us in connection with any purchase of shares of Common Stock from the Company.

The 2001 stock option plan provides for the granting to our employees of incentive stock options and the granting to our employees, directors and consultants of non-qualified stock options. 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 Stock Option Plan. The plan provides for the granting of stock options to the employees, directors, advisors and consultants of the Corporation to encourage proprietary interest in the Corporation, to encourage such employees to remain in the employ of the Corporation or such directors, advisors and consultants to remain in the service of the Corporation, and to attract new employees, directors, advisors and consultants with outstanding qualifications.

Our Board determines the terms and provisions of each option granted under the Stock Option Plans, including the exercise price, vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal and form of payment.  In the case of incentive options, the exercise price cannot be less than 100% (or 110%, in the case of incentive options granted to any grantee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or any of our parent or subsidiary corporations) of the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is granted.  The exercise price of non-qualified stock options shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock.  The exercise price of options intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m) shall not be less than

Page 51

100% of the fair market value of the stock.  The aggregate fair market value of the common stock with respect to any incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by an eligible employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

The term of options under the Stock Option Plans will be determined by our Board; however, the term of an incentive stock option may not be for more than ten years (or five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to any grantee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or any of our parent or subsidiary corporations).  Where the award agreement permits the exercise of an option for a period of time following the recipient's termination of service with us, disability or death, that option will terminate to the extent not exercised or purchased on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the option, whichever occurs first.

If a third party acquires the Company through the purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or other business combination, except as otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, all unexercised options will terminate unless assumed by the successor corporation.
