PART I
ITEM 1. |
BUSINESS |
General
On July 15, 2003, Beeper Plus, Inc. changed its name to Western Gaming Corporation. Western Gaming Corporation (the "Company" or "WGC"), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on March 25, 1986, and has its corporate headquarters at 1515 E. Tropicana Ave, #140, Las Vegas, NV, 89119. WGC was in the business of collecting, organizing and disseminating timely sports information through wireless services to individual and corporate customers throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, as well as news information through a network of resellers.
While the Company maintained its corporate name, Beeper Plus, Inc., we entered into a Purchase and Sale transaction on March 19, 2001, which became effective as of April 1, 2001. At that time, we sold the paging business known as The Sports Page and Score Page to BeepMe, a third party vendor and our creditor. As a consequence of the sale of our paging business, we ceased business operations in the paging business. We are currently seeking new business opportunities through acquisitions or a merger.
Competition
The dissemination of sports and news information is a competitive industry. There are a number of entities that were in direct or indirect competition with us in disseminating sports information. There are a number of enterprises that provide sports information through a number of traditional
-1-
channels such as newspapers and television, and now through new media such as the Internet and wireless hand-held devices and PDAs, two-way pagers and mobile phones. Several disseminate sports information through a hand-held pager in a similar fashion as we did, while others feed sports information through cable television sports channels, commercial television sports news programs, sports information periodicals, the sports section of newspapers and radio, direct dial "900" score lines and online computer services. No one outlet dominates any of these channels. New technologies and providers have made the dissemination of information at any time and anywhere easy and convenient for any user to access sports information on a timely basis.
Intellectual Property
We had invested significantly in building our Sports Page and Score Page brands. We did not register any of our trademarks, nor did we investigate whether we had infringed third party trademark rights.
Employees
As of June 30, 2004, we had no employees.
General Information
We are a SEC reporting company and file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. We file these reports electronically with the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet site at "http://www.sec.gov/", that contains these reports, any proxy and information statements, and other information that we are required to file. Go to the EDGAR link for company filings. A copy of this report or any of our reports are available without charge upon request by contacting our corporate office.
ITEM 2. |
PROPERTIES |
We own no real property and we currently utilize office space contributed by Mr. Frank DeRenzo, one of our directors and shareholder, at no charge to us.
We had leased office space, located at 3900 Paradise Rd., Suite 201, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 at the rate of $6,113 per month. The lease expired on June 30, 2001.
We sublet office space to a non-related party for $1,100 per month on a month to month basis.
ITEM 3. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that we expect will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results. However, legal claims are inherently uncertain and we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future by legal proceedings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and stockholders
of Western Gaming Corporation.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Western Gaming Corporation (FKA Beeper Plus, Inc., a Nevada corporation), as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Western Gaming Corporation (FKA Beeper Plus, Inc.) as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company's operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Western Gaming Corporation (formally known as Beeper Plus, Inc., the "Company") was historically disseminated sports and news information directly to customers nationwide through hand held pagers by utilizing contracted paging services.
The Company also utilized independent distributors to provide information to clients within the United States. In April 2001, the Company sold its business to a vendor and has not commenced any operations since then.On October 14, 2003, the Company changed its name to Western Gaming Corporation.
The Company is currently seeking to form a joint venture to own and operate a 40-room hotel and approximately 80 acres of beachfront property in LaPaz of Mexico. As of October 20, 2004, the project is still open.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized at the point of sales or as services has been performed and is billable, provided that no significant obligations remain and collectibility is reasonably assured. Subscription revenue received in advance is recorded as deferred income and recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the life of the subscription.
The Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") in fourth quarter of 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on the Company's operating results or financial positions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the financial instruments have been estimated by management to approximate fair value.
Property and Equipment As of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not maintain or control any fixed assets during these years.
Income Taxes Income tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.
Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APO) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 or 2002 as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company is required under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to its employees based on specified valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges. The pro forma information is as follows:

See note 6 for additional information on the assumption used in the SFAS No. 123 charge.
Derivatives In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS No. 138, which was issued in June 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. The Company currently does not use derivative financial products for hedging or speculative purposes and as a result, does not anticipate any impact on the Company's financial statements.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share The Company accounts for income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires that presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted net loss per common share does not differ from basic net loss per common share since potential shares of common stock from the exercise of stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Shares excluded from diluted (loss) per share totaled 1,200,000 for years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
New Accounting Standards In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS No. 132 amends SFAS No. 87, 88, and 106, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions," to require additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required information should be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The Company does not have any pensions and other postretirement benefits. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 132 will have an impact on its balance sheet or statements of operations and ca sh flows.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a loss of $20,590 and $9,847 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and as of those dates, had an accumulated deficit of $1,242,504 and 1,221,914, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $232,635. In the near term, the Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and may not have enough money to grow its business in the future. The Company can give no assurance that it will achieve profitability or be capable of sustaining profitable operations. As a result, operations in the near future are expected to continue to use working capital.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
In April 2001, the Company sold its business and ceased operations. The Company presently has not commenced any operations and does not generate any revenue. The Company is negotiating to convert certain debts into equity; none was converted through to date. The Company continued existence depends on its ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To the extent not utilized, the carryforwards will begin to expire through 2024. The Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards is uncertain and thus a valuation reserve has been provided against the Company's net deferred tax assets.
The net deferred tax assets consist of the following:

NOTE 6 - STOCKS OPTIONS
Employee Stock Option Plan
The Company has a Stock Option Plan (the Plan) adopted by the stockholders in April 1989 pursuant to which there are 500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance and under which the Company may issue non-statutory, incentive or performance based stock options to officers, directors and employees. The price of the options granted pursuant to the plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The options vest immediately and expire after ten years from the date of grant. Prices for options granted to employees who own greater than 10% or more of the Company's stock is at least 110% of the market value at date of grant. At June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no shares have been issued
.Non-plan Options
During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company granted 100,000 non-plan options to current directors and employees. The options were granted with an exercise price of $0.04 per share which was the market price on the date of grant. The options vested immediately and began to expire in 2010. There were no options granted during the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002. As of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, there were 1,200,000 shares of options outstanding.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company is required to present pro forma information regarding its net loss and net loss per share if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options, granted subsequent to June 30, 1995 using the fair value method of accounting. The fair value of the options granted in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002 has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's options have characteristics significantly difference from those of trade options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As disclosed in Note 4, the Company had notes payable to related parties in the amounts of $76,500 and $79,500 as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company also had accounts payable to a related party in the amount of $14,784 and $1,777, respectively, as of those dates.
NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
On October 14, 2003, the Company changed its name to Western Gaming Corporation. The Board of directors approved to increased the authorized shares of common stock to eighty million (80,000,000) and the authorized shares of preferred stock to twenty million (20,000,000). Both have a par value of $0.001 per share. As of June 30, 2004, the Company did not have any preferred stock issued and outstanding. The accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the change of par value from $0.01 to $0.001.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 10 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires that a publicly traded company must disclose information about its operating segments when it presents a complete set of financial statements. Since the Company had only one segment before April 2001 and has had no operations since then; accordingly, detailed information of the reportable segment is not presented.
NOTE 11 - GUARANTEES
The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company's businesses or assets; and (ii) certain agreements with the Company's officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons from liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.
The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2004.
Since the Company is not operating, it does not incur any product warranty.
