NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Elray Resources, Inc. (“Elray” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2012 on Form 10-K filed on April 5, 2013.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Subsequent Events

Elray evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Elray’s management does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Elray have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss of $477,463 and utilized cash for operating activities of $47,597 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company had a working capital deficiency, stockholders’ deficiency and accumulated deficit of $3,387,231, $3,387,231 and $10,065,468, respectively, at March 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for Elray to continue as a going concern. Elray's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis, and in the longer term, revenues from the gambling business. Elray's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of its gambling business.

NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable

Notes payable at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

	Final Maturity	Interest Rate		March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012

C. Smith	9/18/11		8%	$	14,850	$	14,850

Total				$	292,929	$	292,929

On December 9, 2011, Elray entered into an Amended Splitrock Agreement whereby the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Splitrock. As part of the liabilities assumed in terms of the Amended Splitrock Agreement, the Company assumed notes payable of $292,929 bearing interest of 8% or 15% per annum. All of these notes are past due and currently in default.

Convertible notes payable

Convertible notes payable, net of discounts, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2013							December 31, 2012
	Principal		Unamortized discount			Principal, net of discounts		Principal		Unamortized discount			Principal, net of discounts

Alan Binder	$	25,000	$	-		$	25,000	$	25,000	$	-		$	25,000

Rousay Holdings Ltd.		1,290,000		-			1,290,000		1,290,000		-			1,290,000
Total	$	1,387,500	$	(39,431	)	$	1,348,069	$	1,372,500	$	(8,440	)	$	1,364,060

On December 9, 2011, as a result of the Splitrock transaction, the Company assumed a $25,000 convertible note. The note was due on August 4, 2012 with 10% annual interest. The note was convertible to Splitrock’s common stock at $0.10 per share prior to December 9, 2011 and is now convertible to 75,453 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not repay the note on August 4, 2012 and this note is currently in default.

On January 19, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with JSJ in which JSJ agreed to loan the Company $25,000 (the “Second JSJ note”). The note is for one year and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. From July 19, 2012 to July 19, 2013, the note holder has the option to convert the note to common shares in the Company at a discount of 50% of the average of the preceding seven days closing price. This note is currently in default.

On April 25, 2012, the Company entered into a promissory note with Rousay Holdings Ltd. (“Rousay”) for $10,000,000 (“Original Rousay Note”). During year 2012, $2 million of the promissory note had been funded and $710,000 has been repaid. On October 8, 2012, the Company issued a new promissory note to Rousay to replace the Original Rousay Note, where the face of the note is $1,290,000. The new note is due on April 26, 2013 with an interest rate of 20% per annum. On April 26, 2013, Rousay has an option of receiving an amount of restricted common stock of the Company equals to 10% of the then outstanding and issued common stock of the Company in lieu of payment of principal and interest. In connection with the replacement of Original Rousay Note, the Company issued 1,018,648 common shares, valued at $81,492, to Rousay and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt.

On June 5, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with Asher for $32,500 (the “Third Asher Note”). The principal was received and recorded on July 3, 2012. The note bears interest at 8% and matures on March 7, 2013. In the event that the note remains unpaid at that date, the Company will pay default interest of 22%. Asher has the right after a period of 180 days to convert the balance outstanding into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 58% of the average lowest three closing prices during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,460,769 shares of common stock for the conversion of the Third Asher Note in the amount of $32,500.

On January 30, 2013, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with Asher for $47,500 (the "Fourth Asher Note"). The note bears interest at 8% and matures on November 1, 2013. In the event that the note remains unpaid at that date, the Company will pay default interest of 22%. Asher has the right after a period of 180 days to convert the balance outstanding into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 45% of the average lowest three closing prices during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date.

Due to the JSJ and Asher notes’ conversion feature, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note was made through the issuance of common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized common share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and has been bifurcated from the note and is “marked to market” each reporting period through the statements of operations.

The conversion feature of the Fourth Asher Note was valued at $90,063 on the issuance date. As a result, the Fourth Asher Note was fully discounted and the fair value of the conversion feature in excess of the principal amount of the note of $42,562 was expensed immediately as additional interest expense.

Loans from shareholders

On September 5, 2008, Elmside Pty Ltd, a company related to a former director, agreed to an interest free loan of $55,991 to the Company on an as-needed basis to fund the business operations and expenses of the Company until December 9, 2011, the due date of the loan. The note is in default.

NOTE 4 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – NOTE CONVERSION FEATURE

Due to the conversion feature contained in the JSJ and Asher notes issued, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as further described in Note 3 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the income statement. The fair value of the conversion future of these notes was recognized as a derivative liability instrument and will be measured at fair value at each reporting period.

The Company remeasured the fair value of the instrument as of March 31, 2013, and recorded an unrealized gain of $39,408 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the derivative liability associated with the note conversion feature was $106,253 and $65,693, respectively. The Company determined the fair values of these liabilities using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	December 31, 2012			February 15, 2013			March 31, 2013
Stock price on measurement date	$	0.010		$	0.080		$	0.105
Exercise price	$	0.005		$	0.036		$	0.047
Discount rate		0.11	%		0.13	%		0.11	%
Expected volatility		306	%		242	%		237	%
Expected dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%

NOTE 7 – EQUITY

On November 28, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of its common stock, par value $0.001, at a ratio of 100:1, such that every 100 shares of common stock becomes 1 share of common stock, without amending the Company's total number of authorized common shares. (“Reverse Stock Split”) Shareholders holding a majority of the voting stock voted in favour of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of one hundred-for-one on January 24, 2013. All share number or per share information presented gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Preferred Stock – Series A

On March 22, 2012, Elray entered into a binding letter of intent with Golden Match Holdings Limited (“GM”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Elray and GM would enter into an acquisition agreement in which Elray was to acquire all of the outstanding shares of GM and the shareholders and consultants of GM was to acquire a minimum of 95% of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, Elray had 30 days to secure a $10,000,000 line of credit or loan before Elray and GM enter into a definitive purchase agreement.

On May 3, 2012, in anticipation of the imminent closing of the GM acquisition, the Company authorized the creation of 300,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. Prior to a planned reverse split of common shares at a ratio of 100:1, the Series A Preferred Series shares are convertible at a rate of 100 common shares for each Series A Preferred Share.

On May 4, 2012, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement under which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of GM. This follows the letter of intent previously signed on March 22, 2012. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Elray acquired 100% of GM, an investment holding company which has a profit sharing agreement with CALI Promocao de Jogos Sociedade Unipessoal Lda., a company incorporated under the laws of the Special Administrative Region of Macau. In the agreement, the Company transferred to the principals of GM 211,018,516 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, which on a fully diluted basis, was equal to 95% of the Company's then outstanding shares. In accordance with the above-referenced agreement, Mr. Lao Sio I had been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Overview

Elray Resource, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2006. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Angkor Wat Minerals Ltd. was incorporated in Cambodia on June 26, 2006.

Elray owned a 100% interest in Porphyry Creek, a 90-square kilometer gold and copper claim located in Cambodia. On February 10, 2011, Elray entered into an agreement to dispose of Angkor Wat Minerals in exchange for 56,847,500 ordinary shares of Cambodian Gold PLC, and the majority shareholders and board of directors of the Company approved a dividend of 56,847,500 shares of Cambodian Gold PLC to the Elray shareholders of record as of February 7, 2011 on a basis of one share of Cambodian Gold for each share owned in Elray. As of the current date, Cambodian Gold PLC has failed to take transfer of the gold mining assets and issue the shares in exchange. Elray has failed to find a buyer for these assets and has discontinued maintenance and exploitation of the gold mining properties. Exploitation of the gold mining properties is not part of the current business strategy and therefore does not justify the expenditure and resources necessary to maintain and exploit them.

On February 23, 2011, Elray entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Splitrock Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Splitrock Ventures (BVI) Limited (“Splitrock”), a British Virgin Islands company, in consideration of the issuance of 5,924,547 shares of common stock of the Company. Splitrock is in the online gaming business. On the closing date, pursuant to the terms of the Splitrock Agreement, Anthony Goodman, representing the shareholders of Splitrock, acquired the 5,924,547 shares of Elray’s common stock, which resulted in a change of control under which 70% of the shares of Elray are now held by the previous shareholders of Splitrock. In accordance with the Splitrock Agreement, Barry J. Lucas resigned as Chairman and Director and Anthony Goodman was elected as a replacement; Neil Crang resigned as Director and Roy Sugarman and Michael Silverman were elected as replacements; and Michael J. Malbourne resigned as Secretary and David E Price, Esq. was appointed as a replacement.

On December 9, 2011, Elray entered into an Amended Purchase Agreement (“Amended Splitrock Agreement”) which amended certain elements of the Splitrock Agreement originally entered into by the parties of February 23, 2011. Whereas under the Splitrock Agreement, the Company was to acquire 100% of the shares of Splitrock, pursuant to the Amended Splitrock Agreement, the Company shall instead acquire only certain assets and liabilities of Splitrock. As consideration for the acquisition of Splitrock, on December 9, 2011, the Company has issued 592,454,728 shares to the shareholders of Splitrock as full consideration therefore.

On March 8, 2012, the Company finalized negotiations for advanced Web Application Intellectual Property that will allow Elray to build unique Consumer Web Products that will be marketed under the brand CrazyJapps. The Company is currently finalizing plans to deploy the technology.

On March 22, 2012, Elray entered into a binding letter of intent with Golden Match (“GM”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Elray and Golden Match would enter into an acquisition agreement in which Elray was to acquire all of the outstanding shares of GM and the shareholders and consultants of GM was to acquire a minimum of 95% of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, Elray had 30 days to secure a $10,000,000 line of credit or loan before Elray and GM enter into a definitive purchase agreement.

On May 4, 2012, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement under which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of GM. This follows the letter of intent previously signed on March 22, 2012. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Elray acquired 100% of GM, an investment holding company which has a profit share agreement with CALI Promocao de Jogos Sociedade Unipessoal Lda., a company incorporated under the laws of the Special Administrative Region of Macau. In terms of the agreement, Elray transferred, to the principals of GM, 211,018,516 of its Series A Preferred Stock, which on a fully diluted basis will equal 95% of the Company's then outstanding shares. The principals of GM then became the Company’s majority shareholder. In accordance with the above-referenced agreement, Mr. Lao Sio I had been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. Subsequently, on July 1, 2012, the Board of Directors held a special board meeting, wherein a motion was approved to remove Mr. Lao Sio I as a director. As of the date of this report, the Company is seeking rescission of the transaction and seeking damages; the Company has filed a counterclaim and is engaged in legal proceedings with Mr. Lao Sio I.

Plan of Operation

Elray is in the process of developing an online casino and related technologies to provide gaming to customers where such activity is legal. Elray will utilize software provided by a third party vendor to provide online casino games in selected markets. Development of the online casino games requires Elray to customize the appearance and branding of the third party software and establish merchant services to accept payments and facilitate distribution of winnings.

After completion of the development phase, our primary function is to market the online casino and provide support to online gamers.

Player acquisition is a key factor for organic growth in the online gaming industry. Players are primarily acquired from affiliates for a fixed fee or percentage of earnings based on negotiated predetermined criteria. Affiliates are websites or individuals that attract players through various means such as player news/interest websites, email campaigns or other relationships. The key is that payment to affiliates takes place only when negotiated criteria are met. The criteria may be player minimum deposit, level of play, or revenue earned. The critical element is that unlike most marketing campaigns, the revenues returned by marketing spend is predictable.

The key elements of player retention are the creation of exciting opportunities to maintain player interest and increase play frequency. Similar to land-based casinos’ compensation programs; the tools used for this purpose include prizes, “free money,” opportunities to play against famous (or infamous) players, and tournament qualification.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Revenues

We did not generate any revenues during the reporting periods.

Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expenses were $264,565 and $287,605, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily a result of the decrease of the development costs. Development cost was $521 and $75,236 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Legal fees related to litigation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $42,873 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $135,750 compared to $139,181 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Interest Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense was $126,347 and $68,536, respectively. The increase of interest expense was due to increase of average outstanding note balances during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative liability - note conversion feature

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative liability - note conversion feature was $39,408 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $9,487 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily resulted from the fluctuation of the Company’s stock price.

Loss on settlement of accounts payable

Loss on settlement of accounts payable was $47,143 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. On February 22, 2013, the Company issued 857,143 shares of its common stock to settle accounts payable of $30,000 to Portspot Consultants Limited ("Portspot") and recorded a loss of $47,143 related to the settlement.

Net Loss

We incurred net losses from operations of $477,463 and $365,628 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase of net loss in 2013 was as a result of the items discussed above, as well as the loss on extinguishment of Portspot payable and unrealized loss on derivative liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $47,597 compared to $109,873 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily attributable to fewer activities related to the development cost during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Our cash used in investing activities was $0 for both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Our cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $47,500, compared to $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable.

Since its inception, the Company has financed its cash requirements from the sale of common stock, issuance of notes and shareholder loans. Uses of funds have included activities to establish our business, professional fees, exploration expenses and other general and administrative expenses.

Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Material Events and Uncertainties

Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable development stage companies.

There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.
