that it has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the shares and

competitive reasons, the name of the Seller has been kept confidential until
such time as the deal closes, anticipated to occur on or before March 31,

"This acquisition is a key component of the Company's growth plans as it
brings an international player base of approximately 650,000 and a team of

organically, we can now offer our mobile and wireless products and technology
to an established player base using the Seller's on-line casino products and

-- Proprietary on-line gaming software for 80+ interactive casino games
written in 15 languages and linked to an integrated e-cash processing
capability in 4 currencies

active base of 65,000
-- An annual revenue base of approximately $24 million
-- Exclusive rights to 150 domain names
-- A network of 35,000 registered Affiliates and an active base of 1,500
Affiliates
-- Back-end customer service and management systems such as Multi-level
commission programs, operational web sites, a player tracking and bonus
system, merchant processing back-end systems, marketing support
programs, 24/7 customer support system for players and affiliates, and
back-end accounting systems
-- A live chat network
-- A team of 64 programmers, designers and customer support personnel
Our due diligence team has commenced its examination and over the next
45 days, the Company will proceed to obtain the necessary regulatory
approvals, arrange for the funding of the Purchase Price, and prepare the

transactions of this nature.
