The cash balance reached 鈧�345.8m in 1H07, while the net debt position is low and reaches 鈧�12.8m. The decrease of the company鈥檚 net cash position is a result of the financing required for all the major projects that the company has been undertaking recently.

Commenting on 1H07 results 小杨嫂黑料鈥檚 CEO, Mr, Constantinos Antonopoulos, noted: 鈥溞⊙钌┖诹镶�檚 management is very pleased since the Group delivered robust financial results in 1H07. The semester鈥檚 net earnings have increased, despite the fact that this period鈥檚 betting operations globally had to be compared with the sound results of 2Q06 after the football World Cup, which took place in June 2006.
This semester, the Company has continued to expand its international operations significantly and to add major contracts in its portfolio. Specifically, in addition to the recent agreements in Taiwan and South Africa, 小杨嫂黑料 succeeded to win contracts with the license holders of the All-Russian State Lottery and South Korea鈥檚 National Lottery. The above lotteries were the 4 largest projects that were tendered the past 2.5 years in the global gaming sector. The fact that 小杨嫂黑料 has managed to win all of them is indicative of the Company鈥檚 competitiveness and strength in the industry. Moreover, the Company signed a 3-year agreement with OPAP for the provision of support services and infrastructure for the 鈥淧ame Stihima鈥� betting game.
Finally, 小杨嫂黑料 won its 4th contract in the US with the New Mexico Lottery, strengthening further its presence in this highly demanding and lucrative market.
The above developments together with other major projects under way, will fuel 小杨嫂黑料鈥檚 continuous global expansion and demonstrate the Company鈥檚 ability to take advantage of the significant upcoming opportunities in the gaming sector internationally.鈥�
