2. Business highlights in 2011

Betbull's business performance in 2011 was still affected by administrative
actions taken against Betbull's betting outlets in the Federal States of
Lower Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate. Compared to the figures of 2010 the
shop closures in the above mentioned Federal States caused the decline of
stakes and profit. However the performance of the betting shops and betting
halls is stable and promising even though competition is increasing
steadily.

With effect of 1 January 2012 the new Gaming Act in Schleswig-Holstein is
in force. Betbull will file its licence applications under the new Gaming
Act in due course and expects a positive response.

The Prime Ministers of the other 15 Federal States signed a new State




Treaty on Gaming ('Glückspieländerungsstaatsvertrag') in December 2011; the
new State Treaty on Gaming is expected to come into force by 1 July 2012.
According to the Glückspieländerungsstaatsvertrag up to 20 sports betting
licences (retail and online) will be issued. Sports betting turnovers will
be levied with 5%.

Commenting on today's press release Alexander Leip, Managing Director of
Betbull Holding SE, said:

'We really appreciate the approach of Schleswig-Holstein to establish a
liberalized gaming market which is consistent with Federal and European
law. We hope that the regulation of the gaming market in the other Federal
States under the given terms will be executed in due course and a fair
manner. We believe that Betbull is prepared to expand its retail betting
business in a fully regulated market fast and significantly - through
organic growth, acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

Betbull is in the process of filing the necessary betting licences under
the new Gaming Act in Schleswig-Holstein and prepares itself to apply for a
betting licence under the new State Treaty on Gaming.'
