Chairman's Statement

The financial results declared for the year ended 30 April 2006 include for the
first time, the combined businesses of Lotteryking Limited and Kelly's Eye (No
1) Limited. As a consequence, year on year comparison becomes something of an
academic exercise. Adding further confusion to the issue of comparison is the
fact that prior to acquisition, Kelly's Eye traded as a private company, where
the need for financial reporting was less demanding. However, drawing
comparisons with Lotteryking Limited, pre acquisition, it is very encouraging to
see turnover growing by 73% to #5.3m and the profit from operations increasing
by #95,000 to #112,000.

The financial results, which we believe show positive and solid progress, have
been influenced by a number of factors, principally attributable to the Kelly's
Eye acquisition. The integration of the two companies was somewhat more
protracted than had been originally anticipated. There was an element of
business disruption during the latter part of 2005, as the new Exchequer
accounting system was introduced group wide. The tailoring of the Exchequer
system, to meet the bespoke operating requirements of the company, was more
complex than first envisaged. As a direct consequence, #50k worth of additional
training and consultancy costs were incurred. These costs have been taken to the
profit and loss account; a further #37,000 of post integration costs, mainly IT
hardware, have been capitalised.

As we anticipated, with the takeover of Kelly's Eye we have seen a fall in the
group's gross margin percentage from 59.78% to 50.05%, which is primarily due to
the fact that Kelly's Eye was selling at a much lower gross margin than
Lotteryking. We expect that over the next twelve months that the margin will
strengthen slightly given the improved buying power that we now command.

The Kelly's Eye (No. 1) Limited acquisition was in part satisfied by an #800,000
loan from Barclays Bank and in the course of the year, #61,000 of interest
charges have been incurred on this loan. Interest charges did not feature in
previous years.

The Buncefield Oil Terminal explosion on 11 December 2005 added to the trading
disruption, with the Hemel Hempstead offices remaining inaccessible for a period
of six days.

An acquisition, followed by a programme of integration, can often be a prolonged
process but our integration programme is now complete and there are early signs
that benefits will accrue from the joint business.

As I reported at the Interim, two other small but strategically important
acquisitions were made during the year. The business interests of Club Gemini
were acquired, the transaction satisfied via a cash payment. The Club Gemini
acquisition secured a stream of club business in the northwest and prevented it
from falling into competitor hands. Secondly the Group employed Paul Davidson.
He had previously been a sole trader, trading under the name Independent Leisure
Supplies. His employment brought his contracts and customers to the business.
This helped strengthen our position in the northeast and has allowed the company
to position a regional sales, service and distribution hub in the region.

The company continues to exercise caution in relation to cash management, and
the year-end net cash position of #613,000 represents a 27% improvement over the
previous year. During the course of the
year #386,000 worth of capital expenditure was incurred, principally on the
production of new vending terminals.

The value of receivables has risen sharply at the year end from #484,000 to
#819,000, an increase that is in direct relation to the increase in turnover.
Creditors (excluding loans) have risen from #406,000 at the previous year end to
#996,000. Whilst these increases are symptoms of growth, both creditors and
debtors are being carefully managed.

All costs have been carefully controlled throughout the year with no significant
increases. Group costs have remained static.

Total equity in the company has risen by 31% to #2.7m and the earnings per share
have risen from 0.015p to 0.017p.

Looking ahead your Board remains committed to its objectives and will examine
all opportunities to create shareholder value. Our current trading is showing
some impact from the effects of the World Cup and the very warm weather but our
expectation is that sales performance will improve over the coming months. A
more detailed statement of the progress on current projects will be included in
the published accounts.

I would like to take the opportunity of thanking John Sanderson, who retired
from the board in 2005, for his years of service to the Company and also to
welcome Andrew Speak who has replaced John as non-executive director.

Our employees have worked extremely hard throughout the year, rising to the
challenges and supporting Group endeavours. I continue to be impressed by their
commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism and extend grateful thanks to them
all.

Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of
shares in issue during the year.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic earnings per
share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares, on the assumed conversion of
all dilutive options and other dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Reconciliations of the earnings and weighted average number of shares used in
the calculations are set out below.
