Operating and Financial Review

Total revenue after amortization of royalties and games in Q2 2011 increased to $7.0 million (Q1 2011: $6.0 million). Revenue in the quarter benefited from a reduction of $0.8 million in liabilities previously provided against revenue through the resolution of a dispute with a significant supplier of games.

Hosted Casino

Revenue from Hosted Casino increased to $5.7 million in Q2 2011 (Q1 2011: $5.2 million), reflecting a higher contribution from a key licensee and $0.3 million related to the above resolution.

Branded Games

Revenue from this segment rose to $2.1 million in Q2 2011 (Q1 2011: $1.5 million), including $0.5 million related to the above resolution. Six new branded games went live in the quarter taking the total number of games rolled out by licensees and generating revenues to date to 185 from 179 at the end of the first quarter.

Poker and Other

Poker and Other revenue amounted to $0.2 million in Q2 2011 (Q1 2011: $0.4 million).

Expenses

Operating expenses decreased to $4.5 million in Q2 2011 (Q1 2011: $4.7 million).

General and Administrative expenses rose to $1.6 million in Q2 2011 (Q1 2011: $1.4 million).

Income before tax for the quarter amounted to $0.5 million compared with a loss before tax of $0.4 million in the first quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2011 amounted to $12.0 million (March 31, 2011: $14.5 million). The decrease in cash during Q2 2011 of $2.5 million is primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease in jackpot provisions, following a significant jackpot win during the quarter, and a decrease in other trade payables and accrued liabilities of $1.8 million, partially offset by cash generated from operations before changes in non-cash operating items of $0.7 million and decreased prepayments of $1.0 million. The Company continues to be debt-free.

Update on Commercial Agreements

Further to the announcement on May 12, 2011, the Company signed a binding agreement in June 2011 with the significant supplier of games, which enables the two parties to continue with their commercial relationship.

Further to the announcement on May 12, 2011, the Company remains in dispute with a brand licensor. In June 2011, the Company filed suit against the brand licensor seeking judgment that any breach was cured and the agreement remains in force. The brand licensor has yet to respond to this suit or file a countersuit.

Strategic Review

On March 25, 2011, the Company announced that it had appointed Deloitte Corporate Finance as financial advisor to assist it with a strategic review of the Company. The strategic review is ongoing and further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
