on its technological niche and expertise to become a world leader in online
gaming software systems. The Company's key strategic objectives are to: (i)

positive operating cash flows/financially stable, have a seasoned management
team, and are efficiently staffed. Currently, no acquisitions or strategic
alliances have been identified. and; (iii) developing brand name recognition

dedicated, fully duplexed gateway into the global Internet. Taking advantage of
newly implemented connectivity hardware and security software, the facility
guarantees an unprecedented level of performance and availability. The system is
composed of high speed Dell and Compaq servers and top of the line Cisco and
Nokia networking equipment. The mission critical system components, such as the
database and web
7
<PAGE>
servers, are fully fault tolerant, load-balanced, mirrored and
redundant, which protects the licensees from failures due to malfunctioning
equipment.
The highly scalable nature of IGW's system design makes provisioning for
additional capacity seamless. The network monitoring and security staff tracks
the system at all times to maintain constant awareness of the system's operating
parameters. New equipment and bandwidth will be procured as necessary to
compensate for increased activity or anticipated peak demands.

provided by Antelecom and Teleglobe and contributes to responsive game play and
uptime for the licensees. Each gaming transaction is stored on a database that
is replicated for redundancy and backed up online to prevent data loss.

the Company uses a state of the art proprietary e-commerce solution that
provides a high level of security and integrity for transmission of funds over
the Internet. IGW uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt and protect
transmission of sensitive data like credit card information.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase between Masadi Resources, Inc., and
Beverage Source Worldwide) Inc., dated November 26, 1997, the Company issued
1,375,000 (pursuant to a three (3) for one (1) stock split) shares of its $.001
par value common stock in exchange for 1,500 shares of Beverage Sources
Worldwide, Inc. At December 31, 1997, the Company had advanced to its
subsidiary, Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., $200,000 and in the early months of
1998 the Company advanced an additional $457,844 to Beverage Source Worldwide,
Inc. Minutes of an Emergency Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company
dated April 2, 1998, noted that Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc. was without
funds and was currently facing bankruptcy if the Company did not advance
substantial working capital funds. By mutual consent, the parties to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated November 26, 1997, agreed to a rescission.
On May 5, 1998, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Diego, alleging that from the closing of the Agreement
of Purchase, officers and directors of Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., had
breached their respective duties, obligations and agreements with the Company,
secreting and/or attempting to secret the Companies assets, moving,
transferring, assigning conveying encumbrances, sequestering, using, disposing
of, or shifting, any and all of the assets and property of the Company,
wrongfully withdrawing monies from the Corporate bank accounts, misappropriating
company funds, co-mingling the operating expenses and costs of International
Beverage Corporation or its wholly owned subsidiary Beverage Source Worldwide,
Inc., with the independent business of the officers and directors named in the
suit. Further, that the named defendant officers and directors engaged in an
extensive pattern of discussion with various entities for the specific purpose
of merging one or all of the said entities, without disclosing to such entities
and their representatives that Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., was a wholly
owned subsidiary of International Beverage Corporation. In addition to the
8
<PAGE>
above general categories of the complaint, there are numerous specific
allegations of Malfeasance and Breach of Fiduciary Duty. The complaint
specifically intends that service of the summons and complaint serve as notice
of rescission of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated November 26, 1997.
The Company filed suit against Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc. and the trial
took place on November 8, 1999.
By Minute Order dated December 1, 1999, the Superior Court of California, County
of San Diego denied the Plaintiffs' (Company's) Request for Statement of
Decision due to the fact that the request was not made timely. The Court's oral
tentative decision that was announced on November 9, 1999, thus the Court's
tentative decision becomes its statement of the Decision.
On December 23, 1999, the Court by Minute Order, considered the Plaintiff's
objections to the Judgement submitted by Defendant Mark A. Darnell. However,
the Plaintiff's objections were overruled. The Superior Court of California,
County of San Diego Central Division on December 23, 1999, Ordered, Adjudged and
Decreed that:
1. Plaintiffs INTERNATIONAL BEVERAGE CORPORATION, (now known as Global
Entertainment Holdings, Inc.), and BEVERAGE SOURCE WORLDWIDE shall take
nothing by way of their Complaint for (1) Rescission; (2) Breach of
Fiduciary Duty; (3) Conspiracy; (4) Accounting; (5) Injunctive Relief;
and (6) Declaratory Relief;
2. Plaintiffs INTERNATIONAL BEVERAGE CORPORATION, (now known as Global
Entertainment Holdings, Inc.), and BEVERAGE SOURCE WORLDWIDE Complaint
for Rescission of the parties Stock Purchase Agreement is denied;
defendant, MARK A. DARNELL retains all previously held stock interest in
INTERNATIONAL BEVERAGE CORPORATION, (now known as Global Entertainment
Holdings, Inc.).
The decision by the Court was based on rescission by Fraud; however, the parties
by mutual consent, agreed to the rescission of the Agreement of Purchase & Sale.
The Company held a Special Shareholders Meeting and ratified a mutual agreement
of rescission on August 19, 1999. Subsequently, the 1500 shares held by
International Beverage Corporation was returned to the former shareholders of
Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc. and all stock issued in accordance with the
Purchase and Sale Agreement by International Beverage Corporation was cancelled.
The Company (Plaintiff) will challenge the Courts Statement of Decision and
Judgement on the basis of Fact and Law.
On January 5, 2000, the Company (Plaintiff) filed its Notice of Intent to move
for a new trial on the following grounds:
1. Irregularity in the proceedings of the court, jury or adverse party, or any
order of the court or abuse of discretion by which either party was prevented
from having a fair trial. [Code, Civ. Proc. Subsection 659(1)];
2. Improper orders by the court. [Code, Civ Proc. subsection 659(1)];
3. Abuses of discretion by the court. [Code, Civ Proc. Subsection 659(1)];
9
<PAGE>
4. Accident or surprise, which ordinary prudence could not have guarded
against. [Code, Civ Proc. subsection 659(3)];
5. Newly discovered evidence, material for the party making the application,
which he could not, with reasonable diligence, have discovered and produced at
the trial. [Code, Civ Proc. Subsection 659(4)];
6. The award of damages was inadequate. [Code, Civ Proc. Subsection 659(5)];
7. The evidence was insufficient to justify the court's, and the decision is
against law. [Code, Civ Proc. subsection 659(6)]; and
8. Error(s) in law, occurring at the trial and excepted to by the party making
the application. [Code, Civ Proc. subsection 659(7)];
In the event the Judgement is not modified or vacated, the Company (Plaintiff)
will file a Motion for a new trial or appeal the Court's decision.
Because of the rescission action taken with the filing of the complaint on May
5, 1998, the Company has not presented consolidated financial statements with
Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc. Further, the Company has made the assessment
that the rescission of the Agreement will be upheld by the Courts without
adverse effect to the Company and has made provisions for impaired assets and
collectability losses at approximately 90% of the face value of the amounts owed
by Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc. This information is noted in the year-end
December 31, 1998 audited financials statements. Provisions for impaired assets
have been made for the remaining 10% and this information is noted in the year-
end December 31, 1999 audited financial statements.
In March 2000, the Company had reached an agreement with the former Officers of
Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., whereby for $75,000 he has withdrawn his
objection to the rescission of the Agreement dated May 26, 1997.
The Company is not a party to any other litigation and none is contemplated nor
has any been threatened.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
11
<PAGE>
6:1 Results of Operations
General
The Company generates operating revenues exclusively from its wholly owned
subsidiaries, IGW and Prevail. The acquisition of Prevail added an additional
source of revenue for the Company through its website advertising fees.
For the Year ended December 31, 1999, Prevail generated revenues of over
$233,000, which accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's revenues for
that period. The Company anticipates that over the next three years, 2000, 2001
and 2002 revenues generated through Prevail are anticipated to increase to $1.3
million, $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
The Company's subsidiaries, IGW and Prevail currently generate revenues from
three (3) primary sources: (i) licensing fees, (ii) monthly website hosting and
maintenance fees, and (iii) royalties and advertising fees.
Historically, approximately 50% of all gaming revenue for "Sportsbook"
operators, in the USA and abroad, are generated during American Professional and
Collegiate football season. This statistic has proven to be steadfast during
the short time that IGW began licensing its Internet Sportsbook software
platform, as fourth quarter royalty revenue represented over 50% of all revenue
generated in 1998 and 1999. This seasonal royalty revenue is anticipated to
continue for the Sportsbook software platform; however, with the recent
development, licensing and introduction of the new Internet based casino
software, revenues should balance out during the off season months as a result
of the additional royalties gained through the licensing of the newly introduced
Casino software. Seasonal royalty revenue for football season currently
represents over 50% of all Company revenue, however, as new licensees and
additional software platforms are added, the revenues will balance out during
the other sport seasons.
Through research and development in the past four years, the Company identified
the opportunity of offering proprietary software and related services to online
gaming operators and successfully launched its first licensee in November 1997.
The Company encourages its licensee's to target only customers in countries that
regulate online gaming. Currently, there are several countries which support the
online gaming industry through regulation and/or taxation, including; such
nations as Sweden, Finland, Australia, Germany, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands
Antilles, Dominica and Antigua.
Since the beginning of January 1999, through December 31, 1999, revenues from
all components of the software licensing business, which include software
licensing, Website services and software licensing royalties have undergone
tremendous growth and generated revenues over $2.8 Million, representing a 287%
increase in total revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999.
The following tables set forth selected information from the statements of
operations and balance sheets for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, and
1998.

The Company's revenues increased over 287% to $2,821,599 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to $980,563 for the twelve months ended December
31, 1998.
The growth is primarily due to additional revenues generated from software
licensing, and Website services for licensees (including Royalties). The
Company, through IGW, offers to its licensees Internet based Casino and
Sportsbook software as well as telephone based (call centers) Sportsbook
software. Revenue from software licensing services, which is the significant
income source, accounts for 87% of the total revenues for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the Company had entered into
agreements with 6 licensees and as of December 31, 1999, the Company supports
11 fully operational licensee Web sites.
Within the next fiscal year, the Company will seek to contract with four (4)
additional licensees. The Company's and IGW's success in contracting with these
additional licensees, may have the potential of generating, through the
combination of a fixed licensee fee, royalty fees and hosting fees, an
additional $1.5 million in annual revenues for the Company.
The Company expects to attract two (2) of the proposed four (4) licensees
within the first and second quarters of the year 2000 and to sign the remaining
two (2) licensees in the second half of the year.
The Company anticipates an investment of an additional $1 million in hardware
and software to accommodate the additional four (4) licensee contracts.
Operating expenses were $2,764,753 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999
and $1,243,224 for December 31, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, operating
expenses decreased
13
<PAGE>
from 127% (inclusive of one time charge) to 98% as a result of substantial
revenue growth and efficiencies gained as the Company handled a greater level of
activity.
Income from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 was $56,846
as compared to an operating loss of ($262,661) (inclusive of a one time
extraordinary write off) for December 31, 1998.
The Company expects licensing revenues to continue to grow as more licensees
commence operations and royalties from existing licensee's Internet gaming
operations increase.
Tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 was $11,571, as
compared to $0 for 1998. The majority of the Company's income is generated
from IGW in Curacao and is taxed at the rate of 2.4%.
6:2 Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1999, the Company had $236,184 in cash and cash equivalents, as
compared to $122,422 at December 31, 1998. The increase in cash balance is
mainly a result of the increased operating profits and financing activities.
Working capital at December 31, 1999 increased to $1,107,274 as compared to
$869,388 at December 31, 1998. Accounts receivable at December 31, 1999
increased to $1,511,226 as compared to $962,249 at December 31, 1998. The
majority of the receivables are from new licensees that were offered an
installment payment plan on the initial licensing fees and from operating
licensees, which have a 30-day term agreement for royalties.
Net cash generated from operating activities for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999 increased to $560,607 as compared to a net use of $383,458 for
the twelve months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in cash from operations
was primarily due to the write off of impaired assets of $607,844 at December
31, 1998 year-end and the increase in revenues.
Net cash used for investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31,
1999 was $1,492,616 as compared to $589,175 for the twelve months ended December
31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase in purchases of
computer equipment and the purchase of Website domains www.wheretobet.com and
www.netbet.org. Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1999, was $1,045,771, as compared to $965,579 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1998.
Revenues from the licensing of software programs are recognized when there is
persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of access to the software, the
fee is fixed and determined and collectability is probable. The license
arrangements are not multiple elements and license fees are recorded when the
four conditions set forth above are achieved. Once the arrangement has been
contractually agreed upon there are no customer cancellation privileges. Fees
that the Company may be entitled to are referred to as royalties and are not
recognized until such time as the licensee has actually earned revenues through
the use of the software and in accordance with the licensing agreement has
notified the Company of its sales. Once the Company has been notified that
royalties are due from the licensing of its software and collectability is
probable, royalty income is recognized. Revenues earned from efforts to assist
a purchaser establish and maintain a base for operations are known as hosting
revenues and are recognized upon receipt of
14
<PAGE>
funds. Costs incidental to royalty income and hosting activities are recognized
in the same period as the related revenues are recognized.
The Company has accounts receivable from License fees, Royalties, Hosting and
Maintenance services of $1,511,226 of which $585,245 is less than 30 days old
and $925,981 that extends beyond 30 days.
6:3 Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its past
business.
6:4 Contingencies
The Company is not the subject of any lawsuit, except that which is indicated in
Note #3 in the consolidated financial statements.
6:5 Year 2000 Risks
Currently, many computer systems, hardware and software products are coded to
accept only two digit entries in the date code field and, consequently, cannot
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. The interactions
between various software and hardware platforms often rely upon the date coding
system. As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to
be upgraded or replaced in order to function properly after the turn of the
century. The Company, its licensees and suppliers are reliant on computers and
related automated systems for daily business operations.
Failure to achieve at least a minimum level of Year 2000 systems compliance by
both the company and its suppliers would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
The Company has completed the process of identifying computer systems that could
be affected by the Year 2000 issue as it relates to the Company's internal
hardware and software, as well as third parties that provide the Company with
goods or services. Three categories or general areas have been identified for
review and analysis:
1. Systems providing licenses services. These include hardware and software
systems that are used to provide services to the Company's customers in the form
of Internet connectivity, e-mail servers, authentication servers, gaming
servers, database servers, etc. Hardware in the form of routers and switches
are also included in this area.
2. Third party vendors providing critical services including circuits,
hardware, long distance Internet connectivity and related products. These
include telco providers, suppliers of routers, modems, switches, odd feeds, etc.
3. Critical internal systems that support the Company's administrative systems
for billing and collecting, general accounting systems, computer networks, and
communication systems.
The Company has completed its Year 2000 compliance review and asset
inventorying. The critical systems are computer hardware, business critical off-
the-shelf software, and telecommunications. The Company's critical hardware is
no more than one-year-old and Y2K
15
<PAGE>
compliance information from the manufacturers has been obtained and documented.
The existing critical hardware is 100% compliant. Critical development,
operating systems and application off-the-shelf software is approximately 90%
from Microsoft and statements of compliance have been attained by those who are
compliant. The Company also has statements of compliance from Setel N.V. and
Antelecom N.V., their telecommunications providers-both warrant 100% compliance.
The Company will continue to monitor critical vendors for any changes in their
compliance statements. All newly acquired hardware systems, operating systems,
and software are required to be vendor certified for Year 2000 compliance.
The Company has implemented redundancy into the critical internal systems as a
contingency plan for potential Year 2000 failures, as well as other types of
unforeseen disasters. All active critical hardware and software have duplicate
backup hardware and software for equipment or software failure. All critical
equipment is protected by virtue of Uninterruptible Power Supplies and an
electrical generator is available in the event of total electrical power
failure.
Additionally, the Company has tested the existing systems for Year 2000
compliance. It has been determined that the existing billing and billing
presentment systems are Year 2000 compliant.
Based on growth, the Company plans to implement new hardware platforms and
software systems that should be Year 2000 compliant and therefore costs
specifically allocated to Year 2000 compliance may not be significant, and have
not been significant to date.
The nature of the Company's business makes it dependent on computer hardware,
software, and operating systems that are susceptible to Year 2000 issues.
Failure to attain at least minimum levels of Year 2000 compliance would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's ability to deliver services.
The Company believes that its banking relationships, and transfer agent are Year
2000 Compliant. Should any of these third party vendors not be Year 2000
Compliant, the Company will experience little to no adverse material impact on
its cash flow or prohibit its ability to continue operations.
6:6 Year End 2000 Projections
The Company anticipates that a substantial portion of its revenues for year end
December 31, 2000 will be generated through Royalty Fees, License Fees, Site
Maintenance and Hosting Fees, Website Advertising and Sponsorships.

Notes to Financial Statement
NOTE #1 - Organization
The Company was incorporated on July 10, 1997, under the laws of the state of
Colorado using the name Masadi Resources, Inc. On February 10, 1998, Articles
of Amendment were filed changing the name to International Beverage Corporation.
Pursuant to a Merger Agreement dated August 27, 1998, International Beverage
Corporation merged with Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc., and
subsequently the surviving corporation became known as Global Entertainment
Holdings/Equities, Inc.
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for
which corporations may be organized under the laws of the state of Colorado.
The Company currently has two wholly owned subsidiaries; Interactive Gaming and
Wagering NV, (IGW), a Netherlands Antilles Corporation in Curacao, Netherlands
Antilles, and Prevail Online, Inc., (Prevail), a Colorado Corporation. IGW, is
engaged in the conception and creation of computer software programs for the
gaming and wagering industry. Prevail, was purchased in August of 1999 and it
is engaged in the creation and operation of websites and derives its revenues
from banner advertising.
NOTE #2 - Significant Accounting Policies
A. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
B. Revenues and directly related expenses are recognized in the period in which
they occur. Revenues and related expenses are recognized from the sale of
the licenses when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of
access to the software has occurred, the license fee has been determined and
collectability of the license fee is probable. License fees are billed to
be paid in three installments over a relatively short period of time,
usually within ninety days.
C. The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible, within three months, to known amounts as cash
equivalents. The Company currently has no cash equivalents.
D. Basic Earnings Per Shares are computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Share shall be computed
by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted average shares
outstanding during the period. When inclusion of the contingently issuable
shares would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share no diluted
earnings per share shall be presented.
E. Consolidation Policies: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
F. Depreciation: The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of leasehold
improvements is amortized over the lesser of the length of the lease of the
related assets of the estimated lives of the assets. Depreciation and
amortization is computed on the straight line method.
G. Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
H. Foreign Currency: All cash transactions in the Netherlands Antilles are
conducted from the Antilles Banking Corporation in United States dollars.

NOTE #3 - Acquisition and Rescission of Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc.
Pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase between Masadi Resources, Inc., and
Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., dated November 26, 1997, the Company issued
589,287 shares of its $.001 par value common stock in exchange for 1,500 shares
of Beverage Sources Worldwide, Inc. At December 31, 1997, the Company had
advanced to its subsidiary, Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., $200,000 and in the
early months of 1998 the Company advanced an additional $457,844 to Beverage
Source Worldwide, Inc. Minutes of an Emergency Meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Company dated April 2, 1998, noted that Beverage Source
Worldwide, Inc., was without funds and was currently facing bankruptcy if the
Company did not advance substantial working capital funds. On May 5, 1998, the
Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of San
Diego, alleging that from the closing of the Agreement of Purchase, officers of
Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., have breached their respective duties,
obligations and agreements with the Company, secreting and/or attempting to
secret the Companies assets, moving, transferring, assigning conveying
encumbrances, sequestering, using, disposing of, or shifting, any and all of the
assets and property of the Company, wrongfully withdrawing monies from the
Corporate bank accounts, misappropriating company funds, co-mingling the
operating expenses and cost of International Beverage Corporation or its wholly
owned subsidiary Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., with independent business of
the officers and directors named in the suit. Further, that the named defendant
officers engaged in an extensive pattern of discussion with various entities for
the specific purpose of merging one or all of the said entities, without
disclosing to such entities and their representatives that Beverage Source
Worldwide, Inc., was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition to
the above general categories of the complaint there are numerous specific
allegations of Malfeasance and Breach of Fiduciary Duty. The complaint
specifically intends that service of the summons and complaint serve as notice
of rescission of the agreement dated November 26, 1997.
In March 2000, the Company has reached an agreement with the former Officers of
Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., whereby for $75,000 he has withdrawn his
objection to the rescission of the agreement dated May 26, 1997.
NOTE #4 - Software Development for Licensing & Recognition of Income from
Software Licensing
The Company has expensed costs to internally create computer software until such
time as technological feasibility was established. Technological feasibility is
considered to be established when a detail program design is completed. After
the detailed program design has been established the Company has capitalized the
costs of its software products it intends to license to the gaming and wagering
industry. Software development costs will be amortized on a ratio of the
current revenue to anticipated total revenue from the sales of the product or a
straight line amortization of the product cost over the estimated three years
useful life of the product master. Because the product is subject to rapid
technological advances the Company has elected to amortize its computer programs
software held for licensing over a three year period.
Revenue from the licensing of software programs is recognized when there is
persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of access to the software, the
fee is fixed and determined and collectability is probable. The license
arrangements are not multiple elements and license fees are recorded when the
four conditions above are achieved. Once the arrangement has been contractually
agreed upon there are no

customer cancellation privileges. Fees that the Company may be entitled to are
referred to as royalties and are not recognized until such time as the licensee
has actually earned revenues through the use of the software and in accordance
with the licensing agreement has notified the Company of its sales. Once the
Company has been notified that royalties are due from the licensing of its
software and collectability is probable, royalty income is recognized. Revenues
earned from efforts to assist a purchaser establish and maintain a base for
operations are known as hosting revenues and are recognized upon receipt of
funds. Costs incidental to royalty income and hosting activities are recognized
in the same period as the related revenues are recognized.
The Company does not engage in any gaming or wagering activities.
NOTE #5 - Stockholders' Equity
Preferred Stock;
The Company has 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock $.001 par value authorized.
These preferred shares may be issued in one or more series at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.
Common Stock;
The Company has 100,000,000 shares of common stock $.001 par value authorized.
Each shareholder of record shall have one vote for each share of common stock

rights.
Stock Options;
The Company will issue to the Managing Director of Interactive Gaming &
Wagering, NV, Stock Purchase Options, to be assigned at his discretion, which
vest according to the following: At year end 1998, if Interactive Gaming and
Wagering, Inc., had net earnings of $207,000, a three (3) year option to
purchase 225,000 shares of the Company's $.001 non-assessable, par value common
stock at a price not less than $1.50 per share. At year end 1999, if
Interactive Gaming and Wagering, Inc., has net earnings of $5,666,000, a three
(3) year option to purchase 1,800,000 shares of the Company's $.001 non-
assessable, par value common stock at a price not less than $1.50 per share.
At year end 2000, if Interactive Gaming and Wagering, Inc., has net earnings of
$14,959,000, a three (3) year option to purchase 2,475,000 shares of the
Company's $.001 non-assessable, par value common stock at a price not less than
$1.50 per share. Interactive Gaming & Wagering, NV, met the net earnings
requirements and has issued the options for 1998 in 1999. The term net earnings
is presented in the financial statements as net income.
At December 31, 1999, the Company granted 475,500 options to purchase 422,000
shares of common stock at $1.25, 5,300 shares of common stock at $1.50 and
48,200 shares of common stock at $1.67. All of the options expire December 31,
2002. The Company booked as an expense for the options $31,858. The cost was
computed using the following methodology. A discount rate of .055% was used to
compute the present value of the shares to be acquired no later than December
31, 2002. Using the discount rate and the market price of $1.00 per shares the
present value of the shares was $.8985. The value of the options is therefore
$.1015. Because any shares acquired by exercise of the options will be
restricted, shares the $.1015 value was discounted by 34% and the value of each
options was $.067.

During 1997, the Company issued a $125,000 Note Payable to a Stockholder for
25,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. As a result of the restriction the estimated
fair value of the stock cannot be determined at December 31, 1997. Management
elected to record the Restricted Shares at the same value as the note. The
Company intended to sell the securities in 1998 when the restriction period
expired in July. If the proceeds of the sale exceeded $196,000, which would be
paid to the stockholder, and the Company would keep the excess. As a result of
the rescission of the Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., Agreement, (Note #3), the
Restricted Shares were returned to the shareholders and the note payable was
canceled.

Holdings/Equities, Inc., the Legal Acquiree and a privately owned corporation,
agreed to exchange one share of its issued and outstanding stock for 1.5 of
International Beverage Corporation, (IBC), a publicly held corporation. From
April 6, 1998 to August 27, 1998, Global Entertainment Holdings/ Equities, Inc.,
had issued 5,586,688 shares (retroactively restated) under the terms of the
Merger Agreement these shares become 8,380,040 retroactively restated shares.
The exchange of the shares gave the shareholders of Global Entertainment
Holdings/Equities, Inc., control of IBC, the Legal Acquirer. For statement
presentation Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc., has been considered
to be the accounting acquirer. On September 30, 1998, IBC changed its name to
Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc.
The share exchange of a private operating Company, (Global Entertainment
Holdings/Equities, Inc.,) into a non-operating public shell corporation
(International Beverage Corporation), with no significant assets or liabilities
resulted in the shareholders of the private company having actual operating
control of the combined company after the transaction, and the shareholders of
the former public shell continuing only as passive investors.
This transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather
than a business combination. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the
issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the
shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is
identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill of
other intangible is recorded.
ABP, No., 16, paragraph 70, states that, "Presumptive evidence of the acquiring
corporation in combinations effected by an exchange of stock is obtained by
identifying the former common stockholder interest of a combined company which
either retains or receives the larger portion of the voting rights of the
combined corporation. That corporation should be treated as the acquirer unless
other evidence clearly indicates that another corporation is the acquirer."
Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 2A, affirms the above principle and gives
guidelines that the post reverse-acquisition comparative historical financial
statements furnished for the Legal Acquirer should be those of the Legal
Acquiree.
In accordance with this guideline the outstanding shares of Global Entertainment
Holdings/Equities, Inc., have been retroactively restated on the balance sheet,
and the statement of stockholders' equity. The retroactively restated shares
have been used in the Computations for Earnings (Losses) Per Share to preserve
comparability of those figures.

unrelated party for a total sum of $700,000. At the acquisition date Prevail

months from the closing, but before twelve (12) months from the closing at the

NOTE #10 - Income Taxes
The Company has incurred losses that can be carried forward to offset future
earnings if all provisions of the Internal Revenue Code are met. These losses
are as follows:
Expiration
Year of Loss Amount Date
1997 $ 31,923 2017

The Company has adopted FASB 109 to account for income taxes. The Company
currently has no issues that create timing differences that would mandate
deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in
future years. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of the net operating
loss carryforward, an evaluation allowance has been made to the full extent of
any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.

1,375,000 (pursuant to a three (3) for one (1) stock split) shares of its $.001

Inc., had breached their respective duties, obligations and agreements with the
Company, secreting and/or attempting to secret the Companies assets, moving,
transferring, assigning conveying encumbrances, sequestering, using, disposing

wrongfully withdrawing monies from the Corporate bank accounts, misappropriating
company funds, co-mingling the operating expenses and costs of International
Beverage Corporation or its wholly owned subsidiary Beverage Source Worldwide,
Inc., with independent business of the officers and directors named in the suit.

pattern of discussion with various entities for the specific purpose of merging
one or all of the said entities, without disclosing to such entities and their
representatives that Beverage Source Worldwide, Inc., was a wholly owned
subsidiary of International Beverage Corporation. In addition to the above

that service of the summons and complaint serve as notice of recision of the
Agreement dated November 26, 1997. The Company filed suit against Beverage
Source Worldwide, Inc. and the trial took place on November 8, 1999.
