NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION, REGULATION AND CERTAIN 
SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis 
that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of 
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of 
business.

The consolidated balance sheet for the period ended September 30, 
1998 and the related consolidated statement of operations and 
statement of cash flows are unaudited and reflect all normal and 
recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, 
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim 
period.  The results of operations for the nine month period ended 
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating 
results for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It 
is suggested that the accompanying consolidated  financial 
statements be read in conjunction with the Summary of Accounting 
Policies and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included 
in the Company's annual report on form 10-K for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.

In 1997, the Company's business activities, operations and net 
income or loss were derived solely from its two divisions and four 
subsidiaries.  The Gaming and Licensing Division includes Sports 
International, Ltd. (Grenada) ("Sports"), Global Gaming Corp. 
(Grenada) ("Global"), and Global Casinos, Ltd.  (Grenada) ("Casinos"). 
The Advertising/Software Division includes Intersphere Communications, 
Ltd. (Grenada)
("Intersphere").

In September 1997, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of two of 
its subsidiaries, Sports and Casinos. Effective March 18, 1998, the 
Company sold Sports and Casinos for debt forgiveness of $1,656,344 
and a $5,000,000 note receivable. The interest rate on the note is 
1 1/2% above the prime rate.  The first eighteen months of the note 
only require monthly payments of interest on the unpaid principal 
portion.  The second eighteen months require payment of interest plus 
principal of $27,725 per month.  

<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A balloon payment of $4,490,950 is payable on the thirty-seventh 
month.  Interest payments and accruals have been suspended through 
August 31, 1998 pending the reopening of Sports and Casinos by the 
new owners and management team.  The stock of Sports and Casinos has 
been pledged by the buyer as collateral.  The sale resulted in a 
pre-tax gain of approximately $6,556,344 in 1998 after considering 
costs incurred in connection with the sale and operating results 
through the date of disposition.  As collection of the $5,000,000 note 
is uncertain, the Company will defer the gain on the note and 
recognize revenue as principal is collected.

Equipment and leasehold improvements consist of the following at

4.	NOTE PAYABLE

On February 24,1997 and April 25, 1997, the Company issued a 
promissory note payable to a major shareholder in the amount of 
$50,000 and $36,065, respectively. The note bears interest at 1 1/2% above 
the national prime as is published from time to time in the Wall Street 
Journal. 

5. 	INCOME TAXES

The Company derived all its revenue from its wholly owned Grenadan 
subsidiaries. The government of Grenada does not presently impose 
income taxes on the Company. In 1997, a deferred tax asset of $100,000 
was recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to U.S. net 
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $300,000, which expire in 
2012. In March 1998 the Company realized gain on debt forgiveness 
related to its sold subsidiaries and provided for a $100,000 tax 
provision thereby utilizing its deferred tax asset.

Reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory rate to the Company's 
effective tax rate on continuing operations follows:

        	                                     1997       	1998
		
U.S. federal statutory tax rate	             34.0%       	34.0%
Non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards   (27.8)      	(21.0)   
Net operating loss carryforwards with no
current tax benefit	                           -         (13.0)   
		
Effective tax rate on continuing operations   6.2%	        0.0%

Income taxes will be recognized on the installment basis for both 
financial and income tax purpose on the collection of the $5,000,000
 note from the sale of Sports and Casinos.  There is about $100,000 
basis in the subsidiaries; therefore, principal collection on the note 
will be fully taxable.



6. Common Stock Transactions

The Company authorized the issuance of restricted common stock as an 
employee stock bonus to certain employees and consultants assisting in 
the sale of Sports and Casino in the amount of 1,929,961 and recognized 
expense in the amount of $1,927.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
	   and Results of Operations

General

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain 
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial 
position and operating results during the periods included in the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Results of Operations

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 the 
statement of operations reflects a decrease in revenues from 
continuing operations amounting to $1,401,497.00 or 81%.  This decrease
was the result of 1997 revenues in the amount of $1,718,022.00 for 
currently discontinued operations. The 1998 revenue in the amount of 
$316,525.00 is attributable to software licensing fees, advertising 
fees and program design fees. Expenses from continuing operations 
decreased by $1,456,809.00 or 68%. This is also the result of 1997 
expenses in the amount of $2,126,994.00 for currently discontinued 
operations. The decrease in 1998 expenses is a reflection of the 
consolidation of management and employees to a more economic and 
efficient facility together with a reduction in administrative 
personnel. Income from continuing operations increased from 
$337,269.00 in 1997 to $1,337,416.00 in 1998. This increase includes 
an extraordinary item in the amount of $1,656,334.00.

For the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 revenues 
from continuing operations increased to $160,364. Revenues from 
continuing operations include licensing, advertising, and Internet 
related Web design fees.  The increase in revenues resulted from the 
postponement of certain licensing fees, which the Company anticipates, 
will be recovered in future period.  Expenses decreased from $603,561 in 
1997 to $230,053 in 1998.  This decrease resulted from consolidating 
management and employees in a more economical and efficient facility 
together with a reduction in administrative personnel.  Loss from 
continuing operations decreased by $409,924 in 1998 or about 85%.

There was no income from discontinued operations for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1998 since the gaming subsidiaries were sold during the 
first quarter of 1998.   

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current liabilities exceed current assets by $254,017 in 1998 compared 
to $1,702,209 in 1997.  The reduction in the working capital deficit 
resulted from the sale of Sports and Casinos.  The Company anticipates 
further reductions in future periods as the $5,000,000 note amortizes.  
Further capital resources is anticipated with increased licensing 
activities and the development and sale of new Internet gaming software.

Government Regulation - Effect on Financing

In June of 1998, the State of Missouri settled a suit against the 
Company and its President, Michael F. Simone, for a $2,000 fine for Mr. 
Simone and $25,000 fine for the Company together with a second-degree 
misdemeanour plea agreement for each party.
