 “We are very pleased by the Group’s financials for the 9-month 2004 period. The company has managed to increase its profits (+7.1% in 9M04) and interim dividend (+14.3% compared to last year) at a time it has beared start-up costs and investment outlays in order to render foreign projects fully operational.

 Moreover, the company has recently launched fixed-odds sports betting in Romania, Chile and Malta. Regarding Malta, betting was introduced in a very short time given that we took over the lottery operation in the country in July 2004. This proves INTRALOT’s ability to set-up and market new games successfully in short time periods.

 INTRALOT will continue to pursue business opportunities related to the operation and/or management of lotteries around the world, a factor that is expected to strengthen further the company’s global position.”
