NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. DOLLARS
NOTE 1: GENERAL
a. Zone4Play Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Nevada on April 23, 2002 as Old Goat Enterprises, Inc. On
February 1, 2004, the Company acquired Zone4Play, Inc. ("Zone4Play
(Delaware))" (see b. below), which was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware on April 2, 2001, and subsequently changed the
Company's name to Zone4Play, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Company
develops and markets interactive games applications for Internet,
portable devices and interactive TV platforms.
The Company conducts its operations and business with and through its
subsidiaries, (1) Zone4Play (Delaware), (2) Zone4Play Limited, an
Israeli corporation incorporated in July 2001, which is engaged in
research and development and marketing of the applications, (3)
Zone4Play (UK) Limited, a United Kingdom corporation, incorporated in
November 2002, which is engaged in marketing of the applications, (4)
MixTV Ltd., an Israeli corporation which develops and markets
participation TV games applications, and (5) Gaming Ventures Plc
("Gaming"), a company incorporated in the Isle of Man.
The Company's shares of common stock are currently traded on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the trading symbol "ZFPI.OB."
b. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The
Company has suffered losses from operations and negative cash flows
from operations since inception. For the nine months ended September
30, 2007 the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of
$2,484,320, negative cash flows from operations of $2,484,216 and has
an accumulated deficit of $16,452,564 as of September 30, 2007.
Despite its negative cash flows, the Company has been able to secure
financing in order to support its operation to date, based on shares
issuances. Management believes that, despite the financial hurdles and
funding uncertainties going forward, it has under development a
business plan that, if successfully funded and executed as part of a
financial restructuring can significantly improve operating results.
As part of the Company's plan, management intends to raise capital
funds in the near future in order to secure on going operations. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
c. According to an agreement between the Company and Zone4Play
(Delaware), the Company issued 10,426,190 shares of common stock to
the former holders of equity interest in Zone4Play (Delaware). The
acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby
the Company was treated as the acquiree and Zone4Play (Delaware) as
the acquirer, primarily because Zone4Play (Delaware) shareholders
owned a majority, approximately 58% of the Company's common stock,
upon completion of the acquisition. Immediately prior to the
consummation of the transaction, the Company had no material assets
and liabilities, hence the reverse acquisition is treated as a capital
stock transaction in which Zone4Play (Delaware) is deemed to have
issued the common stock held by the Company shareholders for the net
assets of the Company. The historical financial statements of
Zone4Play (Delaware) became the historical financial statements of the
Company.
d. Concentration of risk that may have a significant impact on the
Company:
The Company derived 81% of its revenues from three major customers
(see Note 4b).

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments including
non-recurring adjustments attributable to reorganization and severance and
impairment considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2007. For further information, reference is made to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the
financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on
consolidation.
The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006 contained in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2007, have been applied
consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31,
2006 and their accompanying notes.
b. Accounting for stock-based compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised
2004) ("SFAS 123(R)"), "Share-Based Payment," and Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107"), which was issued in March 2005 by the
SEC. SFAS 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based payment
transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in
exchange for equity instruments of the Company. This statement
requires that employee equity awards be accounted for using the
grant-date fair value method. SAB 107 provides supplemental
implementation guidance on SFAS 123(R), including guidance on
valuation methods, classification of compensation expense, income
statement effects, disclosures and other issues.
The following table shows the total stock-based compensation charge
included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

NOTE 5: RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). This
standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
related disclosure requirements; however, it does not require any new
fair value measurement. As applicable to the Company, this statement
will be effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS
157 would have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). This
standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses
on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported
in earnings. As applicable to the Company, this statement will be
effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 159 would
have on its consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are
prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The financial statements of our subsidiaries Zone4Play (UK) Limited,
and Zone4Play (Israel) Ltd whose functional currency has been determined to be
its local currency, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet amounts
have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet
date. Statement of operation amounts have been translated using the average
exchange rate prevailing during the period. The resulting translation
adjustments are reported as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss in shareholder's equity
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results
of operations together with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to
unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
OUR BUSINESS
We are a software and technology developer and provider to companies that
service the interactive gaming industry, delivering cross-platform systems that
are built for mass participation gaming over mobile devices, TV and the
internet. Our software provides and supports play-for-fun and play-for-real
interactive games. We offer five core solutions to companies that offer
play-for-real gaming, namely:
(i) Multiplayer blackjack tournaments (which we refer to as Blackjack Software):
24/7 availability of a variety of blackjack tournaments games based on a
peer-to-peer technology allowing users to compete against each other and not
against the "house".
(ii) Mobile gaming: the provision of services on mobile devices, including fixed
odds games, multiplayer games, sports betting services, scratch cards and
exchange betting.
(iii) Interactive TV gaming: the provision of software and technology currently
supporting fixed odds games.
(iv) Participating TV gaming: the provision of services via the interaction of
television broadcasts and mobile text messages, IVR (interactive voice response)
lines or Java interaction.
(v) Online gaming: the provision of fixed odds and casino games over the
internet.
We also provided marketing services related to our Blackjack Software business
and other games thorough our subsidiary Get21 Limited, or Get21, which used
Golden Palace Ltd., or Golden Palace, for the full operation of the service
which includes payment, processing, customer support, fraud and collusion
prevention and other services. Effective July 15, 2007, our board of directors
decided to cease the marketing services provided for gaming applications
marketing activities due to cash flow difficulties.
We have recently re-prioritized our operations and currently plan to focus on
two products: our jointly operated brand "the Winner Channel" and our Blackjack
Software.
Our technology allows our customers to generate additional revenue from their
existing infrastructure and user base by allowing a subscriber to switch from
one platform, such as Interactive TV, mobile, internet or participating TV to
another platform using a single account with the same account balance and user
information. In addition, our technology allows mobile service providers, TV
broadcasters and channels to provide additional content, as well as an increased
variety of services, to their customers.
We enter into license and/or revenue-sharing agreements with our customers under
which the customers use our software and technology to offer games to their
subscribers and pay us a fixed fee and/or a percentage of the net revenues
generated from those games.
We devote substantially all of our efforts toward conducting research,
development and marketing of our software. In the course of these activities, we
have sustained operating losses and expect such losses to continue in the
foreseeable future. To date, we have not generated sufficient revenues to
achieve profitable operations or positive cash flow from operations. As of
September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $16,452,564. There is no
assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, will be sustained on a
continuing basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we derived
approximately 81% of our revenues from three major customers.
Our shares of common stock are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under
the trading symbol "ZFPI.OB".
GOING CONCERN
We have generated revenues since inception but they were not an adequate source
of cash to fund future operations. Historically we have relied on private
placement issuances of equity.
It is likely that we will need to raise additional working capital to fund our
ongoing operations and growth. The amount of our future capital requirements
depends primarily on the rate at which we increase our revenues and
correspondingly decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for
operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and
uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market
our products and services and the degree to which competitive products and
services are introduced to the market. As long as our cash flow from operations
remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting
our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or
debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt,
this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds
through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage
ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those
stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities
may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our
common stock.
There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing
operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to
obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to
continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations
and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our company.
DISCONTINUED OPERATION
Effective on July 15, 2007, our board of directors decided to cease the
marketing services provided for gaming applications marketing activities through
our subsidiary Get21. Consequently, assets, liabilities and operating results
that were attributed to Get21 activity were presented as discontinued operation.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), when a
component of an entity, as defined in SFAS 144, has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale, the results of its operations, including the gain
or loss on its disposal should be classified as discontinued operations and the
assets and liabilities of such component should be classified as assets and
liabilities attributed to discontinued operations, that is provided that the
operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the component have been
eliminated from the company's consolidated operations and the Company will no
longer have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the
component.

MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
REVENUES AND COST OF REVENUES
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 1% to
$214,328 from $212,714 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The
increase in revenues is mainly due to an increase in our revenues from existing
customers such as Two Way Media Limited and Winner.com (UK) Ltd, offset by a
decrease from our revenues from existing customers such as RCN Corporation.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by 6%
to $89,423 from $95,527 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The
decrease in the cost of revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease of
hosting services related to our services in the UK as a result of change in our
hosting farm locations.

decreased by 62% to $341,189 from $889,483 for the three months ended September

decreased general and administrative expenses allocated to the research and
development department as a result of lay off of employees, and decreased stock
based compensation due to headcount reduction.

primarily attributable to the allowance for doubtful debts in the amount of
$405,452, owed to us by Golden Palace pursuant to the license agreement between
our subsidiary RNG Gaming Ltd., or RNG, and Golden Palace offset by decrease in
payroll expenses due to the dismissal of our former CEO and COO, and decreased
stock based compensation.

three months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.028 as compared to $0.045 for the
three months ended September 30, 2006. The net loss decreases for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 are primarily attributable to a decrease in
operating expenses due to the lay off of our employees and decreased stock based
compensation. Our weighted average number of shares of common stock used in
computing basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 was 32,319,031 compared with 32,315,698 for the three months

$698,198 from $602,673 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The
increase in revenues is mainly due to a new contract with Golden Palace for the
license of our multiplayer tournaments blackjack, as well as an increase in our
revenues from existing customers such as Two Way Media Limited and Winner.com
(UK) Ltd, offset by a decrease from our revenues from existing customers such as
Nds Ltd. , RCN Corporation and DITG Ltd.

$276,711 from $293,166 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The

decreased by 33% to $1,618,437 from $2,423,921 for the nine months ended

decreased by 91% to $133,296 from $1,470,813 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributable
to a portion of the amortization of deferred compensation to stock options
granted to our former CEO in the amount of $893,657 as a result of adopting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)") effective January 1, 2006, to lay off of employees, to
cancellation of a liability to our former CEO, which was recorded in 2006 and
was cancelled pursuant to the agreement signed between the Company and the
former CEO on July 31, 2007, and to accounting charges related to the adoption

doubtful debt in the amount of $405,452 owed to us by Golden Palace that was
recorded in our indirect subsidiary RNG. In addition, in the second quarter of
2007, we cancelled a liability to our former CEO, which was recorded in 2006,
pursuant to the agreement signed between the Company and the former CEO on July
31, 2007.

our marketing efforts through our get21.com website through Get21.
Our weighted average number of shares of common stock used in computing basic
and diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was
32,319,031 as compared to a number of 29,752,443 for the nine months ended

OUTLOOK
We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our
existing products and solutions and introduce new commercially viable products
and solutions addressing the demands of the evolving markets. As part of the
product development process, we work closely with current and potential
customers, distribution channels and leaders in our industry to identify market
needs and define appropriate product specifications. Our current anticipated
levels of revenue and cash flow are subject to many uncertainties and cannot be
assured. In order to have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated requirements
for the next twelve months, we may be dependent upon our ability to obtain
additional financing. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations
or to obtain the required additional funds could require us to curtail
operations. We are attempting to reduce our operating expenses from $450,000 a
month to below $140,000 per month and have already downsized our workforce to 15
full time basis employees. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing
to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If
we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we
may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to
cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in our
company.
