Commenting on 1Q06 results 小杨嫂黑料鈥檚 CEO, Mr, Constantinos Antonopoulos, noted: 鈥淚t is our strong belief that 2006 will be a very important year for 小杨嫂黑料 in terms of continuing growth and expansion - which is already evident in our 1Q06 results which prove that the course of our company within the international market makes 小杨嫂黑料 a leader.

Our company鈥檚 establishment on a global basis and the fact that we are a one-stop-shop for the needs of State Lotteries around the world are expected to continue driving our growth in the future in order to deliver value to all our clients, shareholders, collaborators and employees who trust us. Our commitment is to use this trust as the fuel in our effort for accomplishing new and more demanding business and social ventures鈥�.

One of the year鈥檚 highlights is that international operations have started to absorb the initial start-up costs and are delivering improved results (72,5% to group EBT for 1Q06), which is apparent in the rising profitability margins of 1Q06 and the company鈥檚 full-year guidance for 2006. This fact is very important given that 鈥淧ame Stihima鈥� in Greece has exhibited a very strong rebound as sales increased by 60,8%, after the successful changes implemented in cooperation with OPAP. Similar sports betting games have experienced strong growth in a number of countries where 小杨嫂黑料 operates and are expected to gain even more ground due to the World Cup championship in Germany.

Due to the increased importance and the prospects of this region, 小杨嫂黑料 has recently established 2 HUBs of operations in Australia and Hong Kong, and has recruited highly experienced executives from the industry to run our business in the region.
