I also want to share theimportant changes we implemented during 2006, and the new strategic direction wehave carefully planned to pursue in 2007 and beyond. I am confident that we arestronger, more knowledgeable, and in a better position to generate increasedreturns for our shareholders in the future. The financial results for the year ended 31 December 2006 show an operatingprofit of €13.5 million (2005: €13.9 million), before share option charges andtaking €8.3 million of accelerated amortisation charges on the Group's softwarelicenses, plus a €33.3 million write- down of goodwill primarily driven by thepotential impact of the continuing German Laender's regulatory position againstthe online gaming industry. Since the year-end the Board has been encouraged bythe position taken by the EU Commission, and the healthy debate in Germany atthe quarterly sessions of the Laender Prime Ministers on the regulation ofonline gaming. The Board has recommended a final dividend of 13p gross (c €0.193), giving atotal distribution of 26p (c €0.386) for the year (2005: 42p (c €0.604)). Thefinal dividend will be paid on 29 May 2007 to all shareholders on the registerat the close of business on 27 April 2007. We have made important changes in management and the Board during the financialyear. I accepted the position of non-executive Chairman on 1 November 2006. Atthe same time, we announced that Steve Barlow was stepping down from hisposition as Chief Executive, and that a search had been started for areplacement with extensive online gaming experience. I am pleased that thesearch was completed and that Kenneth Alexander was appointed Chief Executiveeffective 1 March 2007. Mr. Alexander's initial views on strategy and structureare included in the Chief Executive's review. Shareholders will be asked toconfirm Mr. Alexander's appointment to the Board, at the AGM which will be heldon 15 May 2007. During the year, the Board accepted resignations from Dr. Robert Willis andScott Miller as Executive Directors, and also from their Board positions. TheBoard appreciates their service to Gaming VC in the initial development of theGroup.. I am confident that we now have a stronger and more experienced management teamto take the Group to the next stage of its development. The core business inGermany is cash generative, and the first three months of the 2007 financialyear are in line with expectations. With experienced financial and operatingmanagement leading the business, we are able to expand with confidence into newEuropean markets outside of Germany. Adrian J.R. SmithChairman17 April 2007 Chief Executive's Statement I am delighted to be in a position to give my first statement as Chief Executivesince my appointment on 1 March 2007. In this report I would like to give youan insight into the challenges the Group currently faces and what our objectiveswill be in the coming year in taking the business forward. Notwithstanding more encouraging announcements by the EU Commission on theregulatory environment surrounding online gaming in Germany, diversificationinto other European markets is the key strategic objective for Gaming VC duringthe next twelve months. The Group is confident that it will obtain a gaminglicence in Italy in Q2 2007 which will permit the introduction of a sportsbook.The Group envisages a subsequent launch of bingo and tournament poker.Opportunities are also being looked at to secure licences or to enter newterritories enabling diversification into new markets outside Germany. Noinvestment will be made in any new market until a comprehensive business planand experienced local executives are in place. The Group's German customer base has been built by means of offline direct mailmarketing and this marketing strategy has remained the core marketing strategyin recruiting new customers. Ongoing, other marketing channels will be targeted which are expected to lowerthe Group's customer acquisition costs. Accordingly, direct mail marketing willbe used on a smaller scale for retention purposes for our established highervalue German customers. However, new recruitment channels focussing on onlineand affiliate marketing will make our marketing more efficient and is moresuited to an online business. This change in focus to concentrate more on online marketing will requiredifferent marketing skills from those that have been required in the past andrecruitment has commenced to effectively implement this strategy. The change in strategy from direct mail to online marketing, with a dedicatedmarketing team possessing the skills to implement the revised strategy, isexpected to improve the growth prospects of Gaming VC and materially improvemarketing efficiency. Customer Retention Management (CRM) will also have an increased focus ongoing inthe business. The gaming industry is maturing and the levels of sophisticationemployed to maintain and work the existing customer database is increasing allthe time. To improve in this area, work has also started to recruit thenecessary expertise and to invest in the most appropriate tools to implementeffective CRM. It is expected that these actions will increase lifetime valuesand reduce attrition, both critical areas for online gaming operations as themarket matures and focus increases on maintaining the existing customer base. As well as diversifying geographically during the new financial year there willbe diversification in terms of Gaming VC's product range. A strategic review isbeing carried out to ensure that the Group is operating on the optimal platformfor its business requirements and we will be looking to offer an increased rangeof gaming products, including fixed odds games and bingo, and explore thepossibility of launching a sportsbook in conjunction with our entry into newmarkets. Casino 2006 2005 % changeNew registrations 52,774 32,840 61%New depositing customers 22,916 18,023 27%Daily average revenue €105,091 €109,907 (4.4%)Total revenue €38,358,324 €40,116,120 (4.4%) Casino revenues fell by 4% despite new depositing customers increasing by 27%year-on-year. This reflects a disappointing third quarter and a high-stakingaccount in December 2006 which reduced that month's revenue by €0.3million whichwas subsequently recovered in January 2007. This trend highlights the issueswith our marketing strategy over the last twelve months where direct mailmarketing and CRM efforts did not deliver growth in total volumes despite anincrease in depositing customers. Poker 2006 2005 % changeNew registrations 25,957 7,308 255%New depositing customers 11,845 3,355 253%Daily average revenue €6,051 €1,779 240%Total revenue €2,208,489 €327,362 575% Poker has demonstrated solid growth during the financial year and hascompensated for the slight fall in Casino revenues. Similarly to the Casino,the marketing efforts on Poker will concentrate on online, measurable channelsto deliver further growth in our Poker offering. Group Financial Performance The total gross wagers placed were €1.6 billion (2005: €1.6 billion) and netrevenues were €40.6 million (2005: €40.4 million). The gross profit for thefinancial year ended 31 December 2006 was €29.4 million (2005: €30.8 million).The small decline in gross margin has arisen due to both the impact of the onehigh stake roulette player discussed above, and the increased percentage oflower margin poker business in the total wagers placed. The primary operatingcost element for the Group are the turnkey online casino services provided byBoss Media SA and its subsidiaries. In the financial year there were no significant one-off jackpot winners on theGroup's slot machine games with associated "progressive" jackpots, although 3players won over €0.1 million each in the year ( 2005: none). The total of theavailable jackpots at the end of December 2006 was €2.2 million (2005: €1.7million) with the largest available individual jackpot being €1.3 million (2005:€0.8 million). Upon this jackpot becoming payable it will be a charge againstthe relevant period's gross profit. The last major jackpot win was for €0.5million in November 2004. The Group operating profit for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 beforeexceptional items and share option charge was €13.5 million (2005: €13.9million) after the deduction of distribution and administrative expenses. TheGroup incurred €41.6 million of exceptional charges in the year (2005: nil),these consisting of €8.3 million of accelerated amortisation charges on theGroup's software licences and a €33.3 million write down of goodwill afterconsidering the potential impact of the continuing German Laender's regulatoryposition, against the online gaming industry in the foreseeable future. Thisresulted in a Group operating loss after exceptional items of €28.9 million(2005: profit of €13.4 million). Net operating expenses before goodwill impairment in the year of €25.1 million(2005: €17.4 million) are analysed as distribution, administration andamortisation costs as detailed below. Distribution costs of €7.1 million (2005: €7.4 million) reflect the third partymarketing costs incurred by the Group to recruit active members to the Casino. The major items within the administrative expenses (excluding amortisation)incurred during the financial year are detailed below: 2006 2005 •'000 •'000 Employment costs 3,434 2,378Travel 886 1,121Legal, accounting and tax 1,682 1,941Re-organisation costs - 545All other costs 775 1,207 Total administrative expenses 6,777 7,192 Employment costs, which are analysed in note 2 to the financial results, include€0.4 million for settlement of contractual obligations to Mr S Barlow and Mr SMiller on their standing down as Executive Directors of the Group. Of the total €44.4 million amortisation charge (2005: €2.8 million), detailed innote 5 to the financial results, €41.6 million was an exceptional charge in2006. €8.3 million reflects accelerated amortisation of the Group's softwarelicenses following a review that identified a reduced beneficial life of thelicenses due to both technical developments and price pressure on royalties inthe market place; €33.3 million reflects an ongoing concern regarding thecontinued uncertainty in the German regulatory position. Net financing income for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 of €0.1million (2005: net financing costs €0.6 million) are analysed in note 3 to thefinancial results. The majority of Group revenues are in Euros, as are both thecost of sales and marketing. Employment costs are primarily US Dollardenominated and most legal, tax and accounting services are incurred inSterling. Dividend payments are also Sterling denominated. The Group intends to add new gaming licences within the EU in 2007 to thosealready held in Curacao. The impact of this will be to strengthen the EUbusiness operationally but it will increase the overall group tax charge goingforward. It is expected that Gaming VC will increase its tax charge from acurrent base level of 2% of operating profits to closer to 10% by 2008. Thefinal charge will depend on both the markets where growth is achieved and futuredevelopments on taxation in the domiciles Gaming VC operates in. In the reporting period the Group generated €17.9 million (2005: €17 million)from operating activities. After payment of dividends totalling €15.6 millionduring the year, the Group's closing cash balance as at 31 December 2006 was€9.4 million (2005: €7.2 million). The Group had no significant capitalexpenditure during the year and does not envisage any material capitalexpenditure in 2007. Dividends The Board considers that the current dividend policy remains appropriate for theGroup. The core business is cash generative and not capital intensive and wewill continue to return excess capital to shareholders, as appropriate. The Board recommends a final dividend of 13p (gross) (c €0.193) per share (2005:21p per share), making a total distribution of 26p per share (c €0.386) for theyear. This will be paid on 29 May 2007 to shareholders on the register at theclose of business on 27 April 2007. While the total dividend for 2006 will be greater than the earnings per share inthe year, given the financial performance of the Group in 2006 and the positivestart to 2007, the Board considers the final dividend is appropriate. As at 31March 2007 our cash balances were more than sufficient to cover the finaldividend. Outlook Trading for the first three months of the 2007 financial year has been in linewith expectations. Likely benefits of the revised marketing strategy includeincreased player acquisition numbers with an associated reduction in customeracquisition costs together with an increased retention of the existing customerbase. It is expected that these initial benefits will be experienced in thelast quarter of the financial year. The impact of the associated costs of thisstrategy which will be incurred before the benefit is received will be offset bythe savings made on a significant reduction in the use of direct mail as amarketing tool. Gaming VC has started 2007 in a much stronger and more competitive position thanlast year. Management's combined experience in the online gaming industryplaces Gaming VC in an excellent position to diversify its operations into newEuropean territories. I am confident for the future.

Geographical segments Within the year the core business activity has been concentrated in the Germanlanguage countries. Development specifically tailored for other European language countries isongoing.

Asset Valuation methodologyMagazine-related CostConsulting Income (cost saving)Software licence Income (incremental value plus loss of profits)Trade-marks Relief from royaltyGoodwill Residual balance The valuation conclusions, for the assets acquired through businesscombinations, were cross-checked relative to the overall consideration paid inthe transaction over net tangible assets, to ensure that the proportion of valueattributed to (i) each identifiable tangible asset: and (ii) to all of theidentified intangible assets combined in the total purchase price appearsreasonable. In addition, the implied weighted average return on assets was reconciled withthe cost of capital derived for the business as a whole to check for thereasonableness of values placed on intangible assets and the discount rates/returns used. Amortisation and impairment charge The amortisation for the year and the accelerated amortisation on the softwarelicence are recognised in the following line items in the income statement. Theaccelerated amortisation of the Group's software licenses, as an exceptionalitem, follows a review that identified a reduced beneficial life of the licensesdue to both technical developments and price pressure on royalties in the marketplace.
