It is gratifying to note that we are succeeding in achieving strong growth combined with favorable profitability. The primary contributor to the strong trend is the continued excellent growth for partners in 24hNetwork (skins). During the period, 24hNetwork launched its own information website, and the concept began to be marketed internationally, after which a number of new partners were added. Interest in the product is extremely strong, since our solution gives players who want to market themselves in the gaming market the opportunity to establish a service at low cost within less than four weeks. 24hPoker is now making the move into casinos and clubs through exciting joint ventures in Russia and Ireland, where its stronger presence in physical environments frequented by many gaming enthusiasts will enable it to reach new target groups. During the coming periods, we also plan to intensify the marketing efforts focused on our own gaming site, 24hPoker.com. The marketing department, currently being expanded in Malta, is in the process of recruiting new personnel and plans to focus more intently on attracting new customers and retaining and developing the existing customer base. To date, a large proportion of available personnel have been engaged in promoting the rapid growth of 24hNetwork. During the period, B2B Poker consolidated its position as one of the most stable and fastest-growing poker platforms in the online gaming market. B2B Poker is currently the world’s tenth largest poker network. In February, 24hPoker acquired Unibet’s shareholding in B2B Poker, which makes 24hPoker the sole owner of the network and will enable it to continue expanding aggressively.” For further information, please contact: Per Hildebrand, President, tel: +46 8-564 88 464, e-mail: per.hildebrand@24hpoker.se Thord Norberg, CFO, tel: +46 8-564 88 475, e-mail: thord.norberg@24hpoker.se
