WESTERN GAMING CORPORATION (FKA BEEPER PLUS, INC.)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of BusinessWestern Gaming Corporation (FKA Beeper Plus, Inc., the "Company") was historically disseminating 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.
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 January 28, 2005, the project is still open.
A summary of significant accounting policies follows.
Presentation of Interim Information: The financial information at September 30, 2004 and for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.
The results for the three months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of results for the year ending June 30, 2005 or any future periods.
NOTE 2-CONTINUING OPERATIONS
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. Presently, the Company is not operating and expects no funds will be generated from operations in the near future. 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 expend working capital.
NOTE 3-NET (LOSS) PER SHARE
As the Company incurred net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2004and 2003, the effect of dilutive stock options totaling 1.2 million have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation as it was antidilutive. However, these options could be dilutive in the future.

NOTE 4-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 currently has no operations; accordingly, detailed information of the reportable segment is not presented.
NOTE 5-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company had notes payable to related parties in the amounts of $90,500 and $79,500 as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company also had accounts payable to a related party in the amount of $16,926 and $1,777 as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 6-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 for 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 September 30, 2004.

These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this report, the words "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "future", "plans", "targets" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof Western Gaming undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof. Additionally, these statements are based on cert ain assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, Western Gaming's dependence on limited cash resources, and its dependence on certain key personnel within Western Gaming.
Results of Operations
Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale transaction, effective as of April 1, 2001, the Company sold its paging business known as The Sports Page and Score Page to BeepMe, a third party vendor and creditor of the Company. As a consequence of the sale of its paging business, the Company ceased business operations in the paging business and is currently seeking new business opportunities through acquisitions or a merger.
The Company historically generated operating revenues by the dissemination of sports and news information through the utilization of contracted paging services directly to customers nationwide, including Hawaii, Alaska and the Caribbean, through a hand-held alpha-numeric pagers called The Sports Page and The Front Page. The Company also utilized independent distributors to provide The Sports Page to clients in two locations throughout the United States. The distributors in each territory entered into Distribution Agreements, which provided that a percentage or minimum as per their contract of gross revenues earned by the distributor was paid to the Company. Also pursuant to the Agreement, the distributor was typically required to pay the Company a minimum monthly fee; thus, the Company was attempting to ensure minimum monthly revenues for the Company.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Western Gaming generated $0.00 revenues, as compared to $0.00 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. This lack of the generation of revenues by Western Gaming was in fact due to Western Gaming's sale of its paging business and services, which was its only revenue generating source and it has not as yet developed any revenue source or completed a merger or acquisition of an ongoing operation.
The following tables sets forth selected information from the Statements of Operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (Unaudited), and Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2004 (Audited) and three month period ending September 30, 2004 (Unaudited).

Operating expenses were $2,745 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and $1,727 for September 30, 2003, representing an increase in operating expenses of $1,018 or approximately 59%. This increase was a result of Western Gaming's accelerated efforts in attempting to develop a source of revenues or determine a potential merger or acquisition candidate after the sale of its paging business and services.
Net loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2004, at $3,166 compared to a net loss of $1,930 at September 30, 2003. Western Gaming did not generate any revenues in either three month period ending September 30, 2004 or September 30, 2003. The $1,236 increase in net loss, representing an approximate 64% increase was attributed to the Company's accelerated efforts to develop a source of revenue or determine a potential merger or acquisition candidate.
Due to Western Gaming's sale of its paging business in April of 2001, Western Gaming at this time does not offer any products for sale or offer any services; therefore, Western Gaming incurred no cost of sales or services for the periods ended September 30, 2004, or September 30, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three-month unaudited period ending September 30, 2004, the Company had $610 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $119 for the audited period ending June 30, 2004.
Cash flows used in operating activities for the three-months ended September 30, 2004, was $13,509 as compared to cash flows used of $175 for operating activities for the three-months ended September 30, 2003. This increase was a result of Western Gaming's decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10,343 for the period ending September 30, 2004, compared to an increase of $1,755 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the period ending September 30, 2003.
