CREATOR CAPITAL LIMITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1            NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is a Bermuda exempted company which, in June 1997, changed its name from Sky Games International Ltd. ("SGI") to Interactive Entertainment Limited. and on September 27, 2000 changed its name to Creator Capital Limited. The Company provides inflight gaming and entertainment software and services by developing, implementing and operating or licensing computerized video gaming and other entertainment software on, but not limited to the aircraft of international commercial air carriers. Gaming software was marketed using the name Sky Games™, and the entertainment software is marketed using the name Sky Play.

The Company has developed a marketing Internet Website for the purpose of International Sales of Tickets in the People's Republic of China's Soccer Betting Lottery under its investment agreement with Trade Watch Consultants Limited.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net concern is dependent upon many factors, including the ability of the degree of competition encountered by the Company, technology risks, government regulation and general economic conditions. These consolidated financial statements do no include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.



NOTE 2            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.

Software Development

All software production costs have been capitalized until the software was available for general release to customers, in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Amortization of the software costs over a three year period started in June 1998, Software development costs were written down in December, 1998 to a value representing the value attributable to the Sky Play software.

Property and Equipment

The Company's property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line and declining balance methods over its estimated economic life which is generally three to five years.

Additions and improvements that materially extend the useful lives are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred


7

Goodwill

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain indicators arise. The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment tests as of December 31 of each year for all its reporting units. Based on an analysis of economic characteristics and how the Company operates its business, the Company has designated its business segments as its reporting units. As required by the statement, intangible assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill must be reclassified to goodwill. With adoption of the statement, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of, management continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

Loss Per Share

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS No. 128). SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. For the periods ended December 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share as all stock options, warrants, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. All loss per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in these financial statements include fair values and impairment analysis of Property and Equipment and Investment.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sky Games International Corp. (a Nevada, USA corporation), Creator Island Equities Inc. (a British Columbia, Canada corporation). The subsidiary company is inactive and all material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 as defined in FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the year. Translation gains and losses are not material.

Website Development Costs

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs (EITF 00-2). Becomes effective for periods beginning after June 30, 2000, and establishes accounting and reporting standards for costs incurred to develop a web site based on the nature of each cost. In general, the pronouncement requires that costs incurred to develop a web site be capitalized and amortized to expense over the expected useful life of the site. The Company has incurred web site development costs.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for Sky Play is recognized each month upon the invoicing of customer. Revenue for Sky Games is recognized at the end of each month upon accumulation of monthly gaming totals. During the period, revenue was generated only by Sky Play.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. " EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, "to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company will continue to account for stock-based compensation under the provision of Accounting Principle Bond Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" using the "intrinsic value" method. Accordingly, the adopti on of SFAS 148 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.146,"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities " ( SFAS No.146), requires the Company to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 replaces Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, " Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions of SFAS NO.146 are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The effect of adoption of SFAS No.146 is dependent on the Company's related activities subsequent to the date of adoption.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.



NOTE 3            INVESTMENT - CHINA LOTTERIES

On September 22, 2001, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Trade Watch Consultants Limited, (formerly Asset China Investments Ltd.) ("TWC"). Trade Watch holds 70% of the outstanding shares of Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. Beacon Hill holds the license for and operates one of two major Soccer Betting Lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. In exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and an investment of up to HK$1,500,000 (US$180,050), the Company will receive 80% of the proceeds of the business profits that will be generated from Trade Watch's sports betting and lottery assets. To date, the Company has forwarded HK$955,000 (US$115,030). As at September 30, 2003 no earnings have been recorded as this project is in its initial stages of operation and no business profits have been earned to date.

On November 1, 2001, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Lee John Associates ("LJA"). Lee John is engaged in the business of owning the licenses for and operating several lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Peoples' Republic of China. In exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, the Company shall receive 80% of the proceeds of the business profits that will be generated from LJA's Lottery businesses. As at September 30, 2003 no earnings had been recorded as this project is in its initial stages of operation and no business profits have been earned.

As of August, 2003, CCL had not received any funds under the agreements with TWC and LJA. Therefore, upon detailed re-evaluation and analysis all parties mutually agreed to amend the original agreements. On September 1, 2003, CCL amended these agreements as described below:

The original agreement with TWC required a total investment of US$180,050.00 HK$1,5000,000.00) and the issuance of 1,500,000 CCL common shares to TWC. To date, CCL has funded US$115, 030.00 but has not issued any common shares. Initially, both TWC and Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. ("BHE) agreed that TWC's 70% ownership in BHE would be reduced to 49% (due to the partial completion of the original funding of US$180,050.00). The agreement was then finalized as a Licensing arrangement, whereby the US$115,030.00 advanced was deemed to be a one-time, full payment of the license fee to allow TWC to sell lottery tickets through a dedicated website www.worldwidelotteries-china.com. The 1,500,000 CCL common shares will not be issued as a part of the arrangement.

The original agreement with LJA required CCL is issue 500,000 CCL common shares in exchange for 80% of LJA's business profits generated from its even sales locations within Guangdong Province in the People's Republic of China. As of September 1, 2003, CCL had not received any funds from LJA, nor had CCL issued the 500,000 common shares. This agreement was cancelled on September 1, 2003.

As of December 31, 2003, CCL has completed the development of the website (www.worldwidelotteries-china.com) which is directed towards the international marketing and sales of the Soccer Betting Lottery. During the 3rd Quarter 2003, approval was obtained and an agreement was reached with a Credit Card Payment processing provider. Subsequently, the provided was unable to provide the required services due to an internal issue. In the 4th Quarter 2003, agreement was reached with NEteller to provide payment processing services.

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Creator Capital Limited ("CCL" or the "Company"), formerly known as Interactive Entertainment Limited ("IEL"), is a Bermuda exempted company, which was incorporated on January 28, 1981. The Company's activities had been focused on providing inflight gaming software and services by developing, implementing and operating a computer-based interactive video entertainment system of gaming and other entertainment activities on, but not limited to, the aircraft of international commercial air carriers.

On January 13, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Inflight Interactive Limited ("IIL") in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. IIL is a U.K. developer and provider of amusement games to the airline industry. CCL currently operates the "IIL" games under the name Sky Play. As of September 30, 2003, Sky Play games are currently installed and operating on Air China, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Air, Japan Air Lines, and Sri Lankan Airways.

On November 12, 1998, the Company announced that it had been unable to attract the additional capital necessary for continued development of its Sky Games inflight gaming business and that it had discontinued all operations associated with the Sky Games product line. The Company stated that it would refocus its business efforts to concentrate exclusively on its non-gaming inflight Sky Play PC games, customers and business. All employees were terminated as of November 13, 1998. Those former employees retained on a part-time contract basis to assist with the management of Sky Play are no longer so retained. Two former employees, through their corporate entity, have been formally contracted to attend to the Sky Play business. The discontinuation of the Sky Games business has not had an adverse impact on the Sky Play business.

As of December 31, 1998, IEL had a contract to provide its gaming software to Singapore Airlines, ("SIA"), which has various termination provisions. On March 22, 1999, SIA notified the Company that it was exercising its termination rights under the contract. The contract with Singapore Airlines was the Company's only contract to provide its gaming software to an airline. Gaming is prohibited on the aircraft of U.S. commercial air carriers and on all flights to and from the United States. Other countries may introduce similar prohibitions, which could limit the prospects for additional contracts.

At the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on September 19, 2000, shareholders voted in favour of the following resolutions: (i) change the name of the Company to "Creator Capital Limited" ("CCL"); (ii) increase the Company's authorized shares to 105,003,000 and its authorized share capital to US$1,050,030.00; (iii) give the Board of Directors the discretion to effect a consolidation of the Company's authorized share capital and outstanding shares by up to 10 to 1 (which would decrease the authorized shares and authorized share capital and increase the par value of its shares by the selected ratio), and, also in its discretion, subsequently to decrease the par value of the Company's Common Stock to $.001 per share and increase the Company's authorized shares to 105,003,000.

On September 22, 2001, the Company entered into an Investment agreement with Trade Watch Consultants Ltd. ("Trade Watch")(formerly Asset China Investments Ltd.). Trade Watch holds 70% of the outstanding shares of Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. Beacon Hill holds the license for and operates one of two major Soccer Betting Lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. In exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and an investment of up to HK$1,500.000 (US$ 180,050.00), the Company receives 80% of the proceeds of the business profits generated from Asset China's sports betting and lottery assets. To date, the Company has forwarded HK$900,000.00 (US$108,030.00).

On November 1, 2001, the Company entered into an Investment agreement with Lee John Associates ("Lee John"). Lee John is engaged in the business of owning the licenses for and operating several lottery locations in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Peoples' Republic of China. In exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, the Company shall receive 80% of the proceeds of the business profits generated from Lee John's Lottery businesses. As at September 30, 2003, no earnings have been recorded as this project remains in initial stages of operation and no profits yet earned.

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2000, consisted of simplifying, and redesigning the Sky Games inflight gaming software and marketing and supporting the Sky Play PC amusement game software. CCL continues to provide its amusement game software to Air China, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Continental, EgyptAir, Japan Air Lines, Lauda Air, and Malaysia Airlines.. Emirates Air was added as a client in 2000, while Virgin Atlantic ceased to be a client. CCL's Sky Play revenues increased from US$507,000 during 1999 to US$537,000 during 2000.

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2001 consisted of: 1) assessing and analyzing the status of the Sky Games Inflight gaming software and the Sky Play business following the departure of eFlyte, LLC as the operational managers and technical support of business: 2) the ongoing management and support of the Sky Play business, and 3) the due diligence for and investment in the China Soccer Betting Lottery Project. CCL's Sky Play revenues increased from US$537,000 during 2000 to US$561,030.

As of December 31, 2001, both Egypt Air and Lauda Air ceased to be clients due to budgetary constraints.

CCL's principal activities through December 31, 2002 consisted of the development of the China Lotteries website. Several challenging factors were addressed: the overall look and format of the site; the various ordering processes and technicalities involved; the timely collection of games results, and lottery winners for posting on the site; the written Chinese language interpretations; the internet registrations, URL addresses and language interpretations; the international payment processing providers; and the marketing of the website internationally.

As at December 2002, American Airlines suspended use of the Sky Play games. Those aircraft installed with the Matsushita 2000 IFE systems were redeployed to short haul Caribbean routes due to a budgetary realignment of the fleet. Malaysia Airlines ceased to be a client as they terminated their agreement with their contracted IFE Inflight content provider who was providing them with CCL Sky Play games. Continental Airlines also ceased to be a client at the end of the second quarter of 2002.

On September 1, 2003, CCL amended its two agreements pertaining to the Chinese Lottery Project. To date, CCL has not yet received any funds under the agreements with Trade Watch Consultants Ltd ("TWC") and Lee John Associates ("LJA"). At this stage, it appears to be highly unlikely that any funds will be forthcoming to CCL in the future. Therefore, upon detailed re-evaluation and analysis all parties mutually agreed to amend the original agreements.

The original agreement with TWC required a total investment of US$180,050.00 (HK$1,500,000) and the issuance of 1,500,000 CCL common shares to TWC. To date, CCL has funded US$115,000.00, but has not issued any common shares. Under a separate agreement between TWC and Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. ("BHE"), TWC's 70% ownership in Beacon Hill has been reduced to 49% (due to the partial completion of the original funding of US$180,050.00). It is through this investment with BHE, that TWE is able to market the Chinese Soccer Betting Lottery Tickets through the Internet Website (once the website is market functional).

The original agreement with LJA required CCL to issue 500,000 CCL common shares in exchange for 80% of LJA's business profits generated from its seven sales locations within Guangdong Province, in the People's Republic of China. To date, CCL has not received any funds from LJA, nor has CCL issued the 500,000 common shares.

As of August, 2003, CCL had not yet received any funds under the agreements with TWC and LJA. Therefore, upon detailed re-evaluation and analysis all parties mutually agreed to amend the original agreements. On September 1, 2003, CCL amended these two agreements as described below:

The Original agreement with TWC required a total investment of US$180,050.00 (HK$1,500,000) and the issuance of 1,500,000 C CL common shares to TWC. To date, CCL has funded US$115,030.00, but has not issued any common shares. Initially, both TWC and Beacon Hill Enterprises Ltd. ("BHE") agreed that TWC's 70% ownership in Beacon Hill would be reduced to 49% (due to the partial completion of the original funding of US$180,050.00). The agreement was then finalized as a Licensing arrangement, whereby the US$115,030.00 advanced was deemed to be a one-time, full payment of the license fee to allow TWC to sell lottery tickets through a dedicated website www.worldwidelotteries-china.com. The 1,500,000 CCL common shares will not be issued as a part of the amended arrangement.

The original agreement with LJA required CCL to issue 500,000 CCL common shares in exchange for 80% of LJA's business profits generated from its seven sales locations within Guangdong Province in the People's Republic of China. As of September 1, 2003, CCL had not received any funds from LJA, nor had CCL issued the 500,000 common shares. This agreement was cancelled on September 1, 2003.

As of December 31, 2003,. CCL has completed the development of the website (www.worldwidelotteries-china.com) which is directed towards the international marketing and sales of the Soccer Betting Lottery. During the 3rd Quarter 2003, approval was obtained and an agreement was reached with a Credit Card Payment processing provider. Subsequently, the provided was unable to provide the required services due to an internal issue. In the 4th Quarter 2003, agreement was reached with NEteller to provide payment processing services.

On September 19, 2003, CCL's wholly owned subsidiary, Trade Watch Consultants Ltd. ("TWC") of the British Virgin Islands, entered into a Licensing Agreement with Action Poker Gaming Inc. ("APG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment. The agreement provides for the development and operation of various multi-player poker games, which include but are not limited to, Chinese Poker, Big2, Texas Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Hi/Lo, Five Card Stud, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Single Table Texas Hold'em Tournaments etc. This gaming destination may be accessed through TWC's www.worldwidegaming-asia.com. A percentage of gaming revenue realized from the website is payable to Action Poker Gaming Inc. on a monthly basis.

Through to September 30, 2003, CCL's principal activities have continued to focus on those outlined for December 31, 2001; 1) the continued assessment on of the Sky Games Inflight Gaming Software. 2) the ongoing management and support of the Sky Play business, despite the worldwide airline economic downturn. CCL's Sky Play revenues have decreased from US$561,000 for 2001 to US$326,162 for 2002. 3) final development and testing of www.worldwidelotteries-china.com to resell tickets for the China Soccer Betting Lottery. Currently, CCL is finalizing the integration of the payment solutions provider software for processing credit cards and cheque receipts into the website.



Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003

Revenue consists of fees generated from the rental of the Sky Play PC based amusement games to the Airline Industry. They are utilized by airline clients to provide inflight entertainment on their airlines. Operations revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $43,210 compared to $44,065 for March 31, 2003.

General and administrative expense was $34,346 in the 2004 period and $26,572 in the 2003 period.

Consulting and contract labor expenses remained at $10,500.

The Arbitration Process (See Legal Proceedings above) resulted in legal expenses of $40,027 during the Quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $1,236 to $3501.

Net loss before preferred stock dividends of $44,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $9,857 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 reflects the significant decrease in revenues along with the continuing efforts of management to contain expenses, along with the significant decrease in the depreciation and amortization expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2004, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,358,747. The accruing preferred share dividends payable contributed substantially to this deficit. The Company had negative cash flow from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2004 It has been sufficient to provide the necessary funds for marketing, for continued development of the Company's products but not adequate to fund payment of the Company's dividend obligations on outstanding preference shares. The Company negotiated a restructuring and reduction of certain amounts owed to two of its largest creditors and to a best efforts deferred payment plan on these obligations.
