“Healthy growth”

“During the first quarter of 2008 we have seen healthy growth for the Group both
in terms of gross winnings and profit from operations. “

“The EBITDA for the first quarter includes a foreign exchange gain on operating
items of 2.4 million GBP.”

“With marketing cost under control and the operational integration of Maria
Holdings substantially completed according to plan, together with our new site
launched in all markets, we are now focused on achieving the financial targets
for 2010.”

“The polarised legal and market situation between EU and some member states is
likely to prevail short and mid-term but is not impacting Unibet's view on
achieving these targets”, says Petter Nylander, CEO of Unibet.
