Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Six Months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

   

1.         Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Shoal Games Ltd. ("the Company") in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 17, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

Continuing operations

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing.  The Company has reported losses from operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and has an accumulated deficit of $19,661,972 as at June 30, 2016.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts and settlement of the liability amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to generate cash flow, improve the Company's financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the Company's obligations.  If management is unable to identify sources of additional cash flow in the short term, it may be required to further reduce or limit operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Six Months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

   

2.         Summary of significant accounting policies:

(a)       Basis of presentation:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") applicable to annual financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shoal Media (Canada) Inc. (registered in British Columbia, Canada), Coral Reef Marketing Inc. (registered in Anguilla), Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com (Wyoming) Inc., Bingo Acquisition Corp, Shoal Media Inc. (registered in Anguilla), and the 99% owned subsidiary, Shoal Games (UK) Plc (registered in the United Kingdom). During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, English Bay Office Management Limited changed its name to Shoal Media (Canada) Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(b)   Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and recognized revenues and expenses for the reporting periods.

Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the valuation of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and the valuation of deferred tax assets.  Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

(c)   Revenue recognition:

Trophy Bingo revenues have been recognized from the sale of in-game purchases, net of platform fees, at the time of purchase by the player. The revenue from in-game advertising is recognized when advertising is served to the player.

Advertising revenues, not generated in Trophy Bingo, have been recognized when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.

(d)   Foreign currency:

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and the translation of foreign currency financial statements under Statement ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date.

2.         Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(d)   Foreign currency: (Continued)

Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are included in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.

(e)   Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment and ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others. During the periods presented, the only long-lived assets reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheet are equipment, other assets, and security deposits.  These provisions require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable recorded intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

(g)   Software Development Costs:

Software development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any software development costs are capitalized and amortized at the greater of the straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the related product. Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company obtained technological feasibility and is amortizing the capitalized software development costs over a period of 3 years. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs, using a net realizable value test.

If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and the Company may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.  Total software development costs for the development of Trophy Bingo were $4,326,553 as at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015 - $3,259,074).

2.         Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(h)   New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, and May 2016 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11 and ASU 2016-12, respectively. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (for example, assets within the scope of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets, within the scope of ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement in this update. The standard was to be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2017, but in August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to January 1, 2019, and would permit early adoption as of the original effective date. Earlier adoption is not otherwise permitted for public entities. An entity can apply the revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings (simplified transition method). The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet selected an adoption date, a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance about

(h)   New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy:

management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and sets rules for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-15 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. This standard requires an entity to "determine the nature of the host contract by considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument, weighing each term and feature on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances which the hybrid financial instrument was issued or acquired and the potential outcome of the hybrid financial instrument.  ASU 2014-16 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, which eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, it is segregated from the results of ordinary operations and is shown as a separate item in the income statement, net of tax. ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, which provides guidance for reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with ASU 2015-02, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date; however, if the proposed deferral is approved, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

2.         Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(h)   New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy:

On April 17, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability.  Currently, debt issuance costs are recorded as an asset and amortization of these deferred financing costs is recorded in interest expense.  Under the new standard, debt issuance costs will continue to be amortized over the life of the debt instrument and amortization will continue to be recorded in interest expense.  The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and will be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

The FASB has issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.  The amendments in ASU 2015-05 provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer's accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets.  ASU 2015-05 is effective for public entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments guidance to simplify the accounting for adjustments in a business combination. An acquirer should recognize adjustments to provisional amounts with a corresponding adjustment of goodwill, as well as the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are identified as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Disclosure is required, by line item, of the amount recorded in current period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires prospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and

noncurrent. The guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption being permitted. The Company is still assessing the potential impact of ASU 2015-17 on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), which requires that equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also impacts the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The ASU does not significantly change the lessees' recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors' accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, the ASU expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

2.         Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)

(h)   New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policy:

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), which addresses how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Entities will be required to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the statement of income when the awards vest or are settled, and to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. The ASU also addresses such areas as an accounting policy election for forfeitures and the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other recent accounting standards, or changes in accounting standards, during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the recent accounting standards described in the Annual Report, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to us.

 (i)   Financial instruments:

(i)  Fair values:

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related party approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.  Cash is carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.  The Company's cash was measured using Level 1 inputs.

(ii)  Foreign currency risk:

The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.  The Company has not entered into any forward exchange contracts or other derivative instrument to hedge against foreign exchange risk.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those differences become deductible.

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets.

The Company currently maintains a substantial portion of its day-to-day operating cash balances at financial institutions. At June 30, 2016, the Company had total cash balances of $187,516 (December 31, 2015 - $570,086) at financial institutions, where $61,398 (December 31, 2015 - $303,983) is in excess of federally insured limits.

OVERVIEW

Shoal Games Ltd. (the "Company") owns and markets a non-gambling social bingo game called Trophy Bingo and a five year license to Garfield's Bingo.  Trophy Bingo is an innovative free-to-play mobile game live in the Apple, Google and Amazon App Stores.  Trophy Bingo brings unique gameplay and industry leading monetization techniques to the bingo category which is both high growth and high value.  The game is free to download and supports in-app purchases and in-game advertising for players who want to engage with the premium features contained in the game.  In-game purchases are transactions made from within a mobile game that are processed by the platform provider (Apple iOS; Google Android; Amazon Android).  The worldwide full launch and marketing of Trophy Bingo commenced in the third quarter of 2015 when the latest version of Trophy Bingo was released world-wide in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on all supported mobile phones and tablet devices.

The Company generates its main source of revenue from players making in-app purchases in Trophy Bingo via the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store and the Amazon Store. An additional source of revenue comes from serving advertising to our user demographic inside the Trophy Bingo game.  Through relationships we have with advertising aggregators and providers, companies pay to have their products and services promoted in our App.

Upon obtaining the license to Garfield's Bingo in late April 2016, the Company reviewed its software development and player acquisition strategies.  Upon completion of the review and relevant modeling, and in light of the delays occurred in completing it's private placement funding, the Company decided to significantly reduce its player acquisition cost of marketing with Trophy Bingo to preserve capital and to increase its development resources dedicated to improving the play mechanics of the Trophy Bingo platform while simultaneously building out Garfield's Bingo utilizing the same platform and game mechanics  but with a different story line and digital art focused on maximizing the power of the Garfield brand worldwide, including Asia. We are projecting the world wide launch of Garfield's Bingo in Q4, 2016.

Prior to December 31, 2014 the Company provided a variety of Internet games plus other forms of entertainment, including an online community, chat rooms, and more. This portion of the business was sold to Unibet, plc on December 31, 2014 and can be viewed at www.bingo.com.

We conducted a beta test launch of Trophy Bingo in May 2013, followed by a global soft launch of the enhanced game on Android in August, 2014 and on iOS in September 2014.  Trophy Bingo was released worldwide in the Google Play Store on August 12, 2015, in the Apple App Store on September 3, 2015, and in the Amazon Appstore on November 30, 2015.

On December 31, 2014, we sold the gambling business and the bingo.com domain name to Unibet Group plc, and focused the business on the development and marketing of our innovative social bingo game, Trophy Bingo.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company changed its name to Shoal Games Ltd.  

We have made a significant investment in the development of Trophy Bingo, and previously in our Internet games plus other forms of entertainment, including an online community, chat rooms, and more.  As a result we have incurred significant losses since inception, and as of June 30, 2016, had an accumulated deficit of $19,661,972.

Effective July 2, 2015, the Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as a tier 2 Technology Issuer under the trading symbol "SGW".  The Company also trades on the OTCQB under the trading symbol "SGLDF".

conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these judgments and estimates, including whether there are any uncertainties as to compliance with the revenue recognition criteria described below, and recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the assessment as to whether there are contingent assets and liabilities that should be recognized or disclosed for the consolidated financial statements to fairly present the information required to be set forth therein. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require the most subjective judgment:

- Revenue recognition; 

- Software development

Revenue recognition:

Trophy Bingo revenues have been recognized from the sale of in-game purchases, net of platform fees, at the time of purchase by the player. The revenue from in-game advertising is recognized when advertising is served to the player.

Advertising revenues, not generated in Trophy Bingo, have been recognized when collection of the amounts are reasonably assured.

Software Development Costs: 

Software development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any software development costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs. If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off.  The Company capitalized 100% of its development costs of Trophy Bingo in 2013. Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company commenced amortizing the capitalized software development costs over a period of 3 years and all further development costs have been expensed. The Company performs an annual review of the estimated economic life and the recoverability of such capitalized software costs, using a net realizable value test.

If a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software, any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and the Company may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.  The Company capitalized 100% its development costs of Trophy Bingo in 2013. Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company commenced amortizing the capitalized software development costs over a period of 3 years and all further development costs have been expensed.

Although the Company believes that its approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ and the Company may be exposed to increases or decreases in revenue that could be material.  Total software development costs for the development of Trophy Bingo were $4,326,553 as at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015 - $3,259,074).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            Revenue

Total revenue from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, increased to $77,821, an increase from revenue from continuing operations of $6,253 for second quarter of 2015 and a decrease of 30% from revenue of $110,559, in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in total revenue compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015, is due to the Company launching a full global release of a feature complete Trophy Bingo in the Google Play and Apple App Store in the latter half of the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and an increase in players playing Trophy Bingo. The decrease in total revenue compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016, is due to lower marketing spend whilst the Company completes the development of additional features for Trophy Bingo and the development of Garfield's Bingo. In addition, the Company is preparing for the world wide launch of Garfield's Bingo in Q4, 2016.

            Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses from continuing operations were $166,758 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an increase over expenses of $28,862 in the second quarter of 2015 and a decrease of 17% from sales and marketing expenses of $201,587 in the first quarter of 2016. This increase in sales and marketing expenses from continuing operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was due to a larger marketing campaign to attract players to the new Trophy Bingo game. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses from continuing operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016, was due to a lower marketing spend for player acquisitions in Trophy Bingo whilst the Company prepares for the launch of planned new features in Trophy Bingo to meet active player demand and to complete the development of Garfield's Bingo. In addition, the Company is preparing for the launch of Garfield's Bingo in Q4 2016.  Selling and marketing expenses from continuing operations principally include publishing services and user acquisition costs to acquire players.

We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses to increase traffic and bring new players to the Trophy Bingo and Garfield's Bingo game. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant additional revenue.

            General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of premises costs for our office, legal and professional fees, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $34,410 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of 72% from costs of $121,867 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and a decrease of 60% from costs of $86,194 in the first quarter of 2016. Effective July 2, 2015, the Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as a tier 2 Technology Issuer under the trading symbol "SGW. This decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015, is due to the fees incurred in listing the Company in the second quarter of 2015.

We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.

Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits

Salaries, wages, consultants and benefits decreased to $105,887 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of 2% compared to salaries, wages, consultants and benefits of $108,247 in the second quarter of 2015 and a decrease of 6%, over salaries, wages, consultants and benefits of $113,133 in the first quarter of 2016. This decrease compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and the first quarter of fiscal 2016, is due to lower consultant charges incurred.

 Page 22

Depreciation and amortization

Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $500 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of 34% over costs of $763 during the same quarter in the prior year and equal to costs of $500 in the first quarter of 2016. This decrease in depreciation and amortization compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 is due to the aging of the Company's equipment and the disposal of obsolete equipment.

Trophy Bingo development and amortization

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company soft-launched Trophy Bingo on Android in selected markets. The Company had a further global release of the Andriod version in the third quarter of 2014 and the iOS version in the first quarter of 2014. The Company ceased to capitalize the development of Trophy Bingo and commenced amortizing the capitalized development costs over the life of the game. The Company expensed $251,534 in development costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and amortized $120,504 of the capitalized development costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This compares to $318,617 expensed development costs during the second quarter of 2015 and amortization of $120,503 of the capitalized development costs during the second quarter of 2015 and $217,383 expensed development costs during the first quarter of 2016 and amortization of $120,503 of the capitalized development costs during the first quarter of 2016. This decrease of 21% in development costs compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 is due the decrease of development expenses incurred in the development of Trophy Bingo. The increase of 16% in development costs compared to the first of fiscal 2016 is due the increase of development expenses incurred in the development of new features for Trophy Bingo and the commencement of development of Garfield's Bingo.

In particular, the games contains systems for handling daily rewards, collections, gifting, an advanced spin wheel plus special events.  Each of these features affects a particular performance statistic within the game and in combination it's expected that average retention and monetization will rise, while the average player acquisition cost (the average cost to generate one new install of the game) will fall.  Daily rewards help to improve retention as players are inspired to come back to collect rewards.  Whereas the collection and gifting system is designed to increase virality (reducing acquisition costs) and monetization as players interact more with their friends and spend more in-game currency trying to collect the special items.

            Net loss and loss per share

The net loss after taxation from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, amounted to ($620,968), a loss of ($0.01) per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of ($666,512) or ($0.01) per share in the quarter ending June 30, 2015 and net loss from continuing operations of ($633,868), or ($0.01) per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash of $187,516 and working capital of $954,319 at June 30, 2016.  This compares to cash of $570,086 and working capital of $454,447 at December 31, 2015.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we used cash of ($1,477,535) in operating activities compared to cash used in operating activities of ($424,360) in the same period in the prior year and compared to using cash of ($418,389) in the first quarter of 2016.

Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including costs associated with the further development of Trophy Bingo and Garfield's Bingo, the cost of marketing and player acquisition costs for Trophy Bingo and Garfield's Bingo, the costs of a world wide launch of Garfield's Bingo and the success and acceptance of both Trophy Bingo and Garfield's Bingo, plus the continuing upkeep of our Web portals www.shoalgames.com and  www.trophybingo.com.

ITEM 4           Controls and Procedures

(a)        Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016. In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company's management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, in the course of this evaluation, management considered certain internal control areas, in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls. Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2016, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the "reasonable assurance" level mentioned above) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

From time-to-time, the Company and its management have conducted and will continue to conduct further reviews and, from time to time put in place additional documentation, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting. The Company may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness, as well as changes aimed at ensuring that the Company's systems evolve with, and meet the needs of, the Company's business. These changes may include changes necessary or desirable to address recommendations of the Company's management, its counsel and/or its independent auditors, including any recommendations of its independent auditors arising out of their audits and reviews of the Company's financial statements. These changes may include changes to the Company's own systems, as well as to the systems of businesses that the Company has acquired or that the Company may acquire in the future and will, if made, be intended to enhance the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures. The Company is also continually striving to improve its management and operational efficiency and the Company expects that its efforts in that regard will from time to time directly or indirectly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(b)        Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
