Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - PRELIMINARY NOTE
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries, which in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The payable to shareholders accrued an additional $15,522 in interest for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred losses from inception, has a net working capital deficiency, and has no operating revenue source as of March 2008. Financing the Company’s activities to date has primarily been the result of borrowing from a shareholder and others. The Company’s ability to achieve a level of profitable operations and/or additional financing may impact the Company’s ability to continue as it is presently organized. Management plans include continued development of the business, as discussed in NOTE 4 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ENACTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 with no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. The Company elected not to measure any additional financial assets or liabilities at fair value at the time SFAS 159 was adopted on January 1, 2008. As a result, implementation of SFAS 159 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
6
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51(“SFAS 160”). SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141R or SFAS No. 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities including: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company has no derivative instruments so the adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and it does not intend to adopt this standard early.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
From time to time, our representatives or we have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project or projected", or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to and are accompanied by the discussion of certain important factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.
Management is currently unaware of any trends or conditions other than those mentioned in this management's discussion and analysis that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, future results of operations, or liquidity. However, investors should also be aware of factors that could have a negative impact on the Company's prospects and the consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and generation of capital resources. These include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii) possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise raise adequate funds from any source should the Company seek to do so, (iii) increased governmental regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable outcomes to litigation involving the Company or to which the Company may become a party in the future and, (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing operating environment.
The risks identified here and in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 are not all inclusive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.
The information set forth in the following discussion should be read with the financial statements of Gameplan, Inc. included elsewhere herein.
Business Overview
For the last several years GamePlan Inc. (“The Company”) attempted to bring to market through mergers or acquisitions comprehensive business plans described in the Company’s previous Annual Reports. After many years of focused efforts to do so, we have not been able to gain traction for these plans. The game plan didn’t work and had to change.
The difficult but obvious conclusion is that the best interest of our shareholders dictates a change from those business plans back to the business plan that the Company originally employed and in which we have considerable expertise. That plan, summarized in the Company History that follows, is to acquire, develop, manage and/or consult gaming opportunities and gaming related opportunities throughout the world. The (“New Plan”).
8
Summary of Company history
GamePlan Inc. “The Company” (Qsip # 36465 c 10 5, Tax I.D. # 870493596, publicly traded under the symbol GPLA.OB) was incorporated in Utah on August 26, 1981 under the name Sunbeam Solar, Inc. On April 27, 1984, common stock was sold publicly. During the latter part of 1991, Robert G. Berry purchased ninety percent (90%) of the Company’s stock. On December 23, 1991 the Company merged with GamePlan, Inc., a Nevada public corporation. From 1992 to 1995 GamePlan actively sought gaming opportunities both in Indian and non-Indian venues and had gaming consulting contracts with the Menominee Tribe in Wisconsin and the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona. From 1996 until the present time the Company has been a public shell and is current in all regulatory filings required of bulletin board companies. Of the 40 million shares authorized there are 15,225,000 shares outstanding with no appreciable market value. As of March 31, 2008, the Company is indebted to its controlling shareholders in the approximate amount of $748,000.
Summary of the New Plan
The New Plan of GamePlan Inc., (“the Company”) is to focus on owning, operating, managing and/or consulting on gaming and gaming related projects throughout the world. The Company will reorganize its Board of Directors and Officers, hire employees as needed and focus on acquiring existing profitable traditional gaming properties and ancillary gaming development opportunities together with seeking opportunities for development, management and consulting services with American Indian Gaming Tribes. The Company will also closely monitor emerging gaming jurisdiction in and out of the United States and make appropriate acquisitions and/or participate in joint ventures.
Each of these acquisitions/property development projects will be in separate entities that will be owned in whole or by a majority of the stock ownership in the Company. Each subsidiary will be responsible for operating not more than one gaming facility.
Regulation
Gaming regulation generally
Extensive federal, state, provincial, tribal and/or local laws, regulations and ordinances, which are administered by the appropriate regulatory agency or agencies in each jurisdiction (the “Regulatory Authorities”), govern the ownership, management, and operation of gaming facilities. These laws, rules, regulations and ordinances vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; however, each are directed to the responsibility, financial stability and character of the owners and managers of gaming operations as well as persons financially interested or involved in gaming operations.
Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company will own, manage, operate or consult relative to a gaming facility or gaming related facility unless proper licenses, permits and approvals are obtained. An application for a license, permit or approval may be denied for any cause. Most Regulatory Authorities also have the right to license, investigate, and determine the suitability of any person who has a significant relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including officers, directors, employees, and security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries. In the event a Regulatory Authority were to find a security holder to be unsuitable, the Company could be sanctioned and may lose its licenses and approvals if the Company recognizes any rights in any entity with such unsuitable person in connection with such securities. The Company will be required to repurchase its securities at fair market value from security holders that the Regulatory Authorities deem unsuitable.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation will be amended to authorize the Company to redeem securities held by persons whose status as a security holder, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, jeopardizes gaming licenses or approvals of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Once obtained, licenses, permits, and approvals must be periodically renewed in some jurisdictions and not in others and generally are not transferable. The Regulatory Authorities may at any time revoke, suspend, condition, limit, or restrict a license for any cause they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable.
9
Fines for violations may be levied against the holder of a license, and in some jurisdictions, gaming operation revenues may be forfeited to the state. No assurance can be given that any licenses, permits, or approvals will be obtained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, if obtained, will be renewed or not revoked in the future. In addition, the rejection or termination of a license, permit, or approval of the Company or any of its employees or security holders in any jurisdiction may have adverse consequences in other jurisdictions. Certain jurisdictions require gaming operators licensed therein to seek approval from the state before conducting gaming in other jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries may be required to submit detailed financial and operating reports to Regulatory Authorities.
The political and regulatory environment for gaming is dynamic and rapidly changing. The laws, regulations and procedures pertaining to gaming are subject to the interpretation of the Regulatory Authorities and may be amended. Any changes in such laws, regulations or their interpretations could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Indian gaming regulation generally
The terms and conditions of management contracts or management related contracts for the operation, and under certain circumstances consulting, of Indian-owned casinos, and of all gaming on Indian land in the United States, are subject to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Authority (“IGRA”). IGRA is administered by the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”). Certain contracts, such as pure development contracts without a management contract, are subject to the provisions of statutes relating to contracts with Indian tribes, which are administered by the Secretary of the Interior (the “Secretary”) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) under USC section 81. The regulations and guidelines under which NIGC will administer the IGRA are evolving. The IGRA and those regulations and guidelines are subject to interpretation by the Secretary and NIGC and may be subject to judicial and legislative clarification or amendment.
The Company may need to provide the BIA or NIGC with background information on each of its directors and every shareholder who holds five percent or more of the Company issued and outstanding stock (“5% Shareholders”), including a complete financial statement, a description of such person’s business history and gaming experience as well as listing the jurisdictions in which such person holds gaming licenses. Background investigations of key employees also may be required. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation will be amended to contain provisions requiring directors and 5% Shareholders to provide such information.
The IGRA currently requires NIGC to approve management contracts and certain collateral agreements for Indian-owned casinos. The NIGC may review any of the Company’s management contracts and collateral agreements for compliance with the IGRA at any time in the future. The NIGC will not approve a management contract if a director or a 5% Shareholder of the management company (i) is an elected member of the Indian tribal government that owns the facility purchasing or leasing the games; (ii) has been or is convicted of a felony gaming offense; (iii) has knowingly and willfully provided materially false information to the NIGC or the tribe; (iv) has refused to respond to questions from the NIGC; or (v) is a person whose prior history, reputation and associations pose a threat to the public interest or to effective gaming regulation and control, or create or enhance the chance of unsuitable activities in gaming or the business and financial arrangements incidental thereto.
Additionally, the NIGC will not approve a management contract if the management company or any of its agents have attempted to unduly influence any decision or process of tribal government relating to gaming, or if the management company has materially breached the terms of the management contract or the tribe’s gaming ordinance, or a trustee exercising due diligence would not approve such management contract.
A management contract can be approved only after NIGC determines that the contract provides, among other things, for (i) adequate accounting procedures and verifiable financial reports, which must be furnished to the tribe; (ii) tribal access to the daily operations of the gaming enterprise, including the right to verify daily gross revenues and income; (iii) minimum guaranteed payments to the tribe, which must have priority over the retirement of development and construction costs; (iv) a ceiling on the repayment of such development and construction costs; and (v) a contract term not exceeding five years and a management fee not exceeding 30% of profits; provided that the NIGC may approve up to a seven-year term if NIGC is satisfied that the capital investment required, the risk exposure, and the income projections for the particular gaming activity justify the longer term.
10
The IGRA established three separate classes of tribal gaming — Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I includes all traditional or social games played by a tribe in connection with celebrations or ceremonies. Class II gaming includes games such as bingo, pull-tabs, punch boards, instant bingo and card games in which the players bet against other players. Class III gaming includes casino-style gaming including table games such as blackjack, craps and roulette, as well as gaming machines such as slots, video poker, lotteries, and pari-mutuel wagering in which players bet against the gaming operation, otherwise referred to as “betting against the house..”
The IGRA prohibits substantially all forms of Class III gaming unless the tribe has entered into a written agreement with the state in which the casino is located specifically authorizing the types of commercial gaming the tribe may offer (a “tribal-state compact”). The IGRA requires states to negotiate in good faith with tribes that seek tribal-state compacts, and grants Indian tribes the right to seek a federal court order to compel such negotiations with default provisions if the state does not negotiate in good faith. Many states have refused to enter into such negotiations. Tribes in several states have sought federal court orders to compel such negotiations under the IGRA; however, the Supreme Court of the United States held in 1996 that the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution immunizes states from suit by Indian tribes in federal court without the states’ consent.
Because Indian tribes are currently unable to compel states to negotiate tribal-state compacts, The Company may not be able to develop and manage casinos in states that refuse to enter into or renew tribal-state compacts.
In addition to the IGRA, tribal-owned gaming facilities on Indian land are subject to a number of other federal statutes. The operation of gaming on Indian land is dependent upon whether the law of the state in which the casino is located permits gaming by non-Indian entities, which will change over time as more and more jurisdictions seek entry into the casino business so as to receive painless “sin taxes” rather than having their citizens travel to adjacent states to engage in gaming activities there. Any such changes will significantly increase competition with non-Indian gaming and that will have a material adverse effect on the casinos managed by The Company.
Title 25, Section 81 of the United States Code states that “no agreement shall be made by any person with any tribe of Indians, or individual Indians not citizens of the United States, for the payment or delivery of any money or other thing of value in consideration of services for said Indians relative to their lands unless such contract or agreement be executed and approved” by the Secretary or his or her designee. An agreement or contract for services relative to Indian lands that fails to conform with the requirements of Section 81 will be void and unenforceable. Any money or other thing of value paid to any person by any Indian or tribe for or on his or their behalf, on account of such services, in excess of any amount approved by the Secretary or his or her authorized representative will be subject to forfeiture.
The Indian Trader Licensing Act, Title 25, Section 261-64 of the United States Code (“ITLA”) states that “any person other than an Indian of the full blood who shall attempt to reside in the Indian country, or on any Indian reservation, as a trader, or to introduce goods, or to trade therein, without such license, shall forfeit all merchandise offered for sale to the Indians or found in his possession, and shall moreover be liable to a penalty of $500. . .” No such licenses have been issued to The Company to date. The applicability of the ITLA to Indian gaming management contracts is unclear. The Company believes that the ITLA is not applicable to its management contracts, under which The Company provides services rather than goods to Indian tribes. The Company further believes that the ITLA has been superseded by the IGRA.
Indian tribes are sovereign nations with their own governmental systems which have primary regulatory authority over gaming on land within the tribe’s jurisdiction. Because of their sovereign status, Indian tribes possess immunity from lawsuits to which the tribes have not otherwise consented or otherwise waived their sovereign immunity defense. Therefore, no contractual obligations undertaken by tribes to the Company would be enforceable by the Company unless the tribe has expressly waived its sovereign immunity as to such obligations. Courts strictly construe such waivers. Additionally, persons engaged in gaming activities, including the Company, are subject to the provisions of tribal ordinances and regulations on gaming. These ordinances are subject to review by NIGC under certain standards established by the IGRA.

Coverage and attendant compliance costs associated with such laws, regulations and ordinances may result in future additional cost to our operations.

The Company plans to assemble a strong team of gaming industry experts that have superior expertise and successful track-records in all aspects of casino development, construction and management. Further, the Company has access to individual specialists mirroring each of the functional areas found in a casino project. The functional areas include design, construction & development, gaming operations, hospitality, finance/accounting, legal/regulatory, security systems, information technology, retail, marketing, entertainment and human resources.
The Company believes this team when developed will represent a valuable asset that will provide a competitive advantage in creating and enhancing relationships with Indian tribes in the Indian casino business and in the pursuit of non-Indian casino opportunities.

OPERATING RESULTS COST OF SALES

Operating expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, decreased by $2,041 to $9,062 as compared to $11,103 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was caused by attorney fees in 2007 that we did not have in 2008.
OPERATING RESULTS INTEREST EXPENSES
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, increased $1,863 to $15,521 as compared to $13,658 for the prior year quarter. The reason for this increase is that there was greater interest expense related to the increase in its outstanding notes payable.

Plan of Operation
The New Plan of the Company is to focus on owning, operating, managing and/or consulting on gaming and gaming related projects throughout the world. The Company will reorganize its Board of Directors and Officers, hire employees as needed and focus on acquiring existing profitable traditional gaming properties and ancillary gaming development opportunities together with seeking opportunities for development, management and consulting services with American Indian Gaming Tribes. The Company will also closely monitor emerging gaming jurisdictions in and out of the United States and make appropriate acquisitions and/or participate in joint ventures.
Each of these acquisitions/property development projects will be in separate entities that will be owned in whole or by a majority of the stock ownership in the Company. Each subsidiary will be responsible for operating not more than one gaming facility.
The Company will assemble a strong team of gaming industry experts that have superior expertise and successful track-records in all aspects of casino development, construction and management. Further, the Company has access to individual specialists mirroring each of the functional areas found in a casino project. The functional areas include design, construction & development, gaming operations, hospitality, finance/accounting, legal/regulatory, security systems, information technology, retail, marketing, entertainment and human resources.
The Company believes this team when developed will represent a valuable asset that will provide a competitive advantage in creating and enhancing relationships with Indian tribes in the Indian casino business and in the pursuit of non-Indian casino opportunities.

There have been no material developments towards implementation, funding, or development of the New Plan. No elements of the New Plan have been implemented and the Company has no revenues from business operations. Accordingly, there are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with investment in the Company which are more fully set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for December 31, 2007.
There may be market or other barriers to entry or unforeseen factors, which could render the New Plan to be not feasible. Accordingly, the Company may refine, rewrite, or abandon some or all elements of the New Plan, which might benefit the Company and its shareholders.
Apart from any cash requirements necessary to implement the New Plan, the Company will continue to incur expenses relating to maintenance of the Company in good standing, filing required reports with the SEC and other regulatory agencies, and investigating potential business ventures. The Company believes that such additional maintenance expenses will be advanced by management or principal stockholders as loans to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the management or stockholders will continue to advance operating funds to the Company.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s sole officer and employee conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. This evaluation was performed based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation the sole officer concluded the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
Although our disclosure controls and internal controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our principal executive officer who is also our principal financial officer has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
