Installation of machines during the six months ended 31 December 2007, after starting slowly, increased during the period and on 31 December 2007 the installed base of transacting machines was 1,820 compared to 1,442 at 30 June 2007, representing an increase of 26% to the installed base.

Transaction revenues for the six month period ended December 2007 were up slightly on each of the six month periods ended 30 June 2007 and 31 December 2006. Despite a greater number of installed machines, transaction volumes per machine were lower following reduced activity levels in some of the outlets where the Company's machines are located. Gross margins improved significantly as a consequence of the increased proportion of placement machines which are owned by the Company and where a greater proportion of the transaction fee is retained.

The Group expects to report on the Interim Results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2007 during March 2008 and which will be the Company's first results to be reported under International Financial Reporting Standards.
