30.11.2005
Betbull plc announces its 3rd quarter results for the period 1st July
through 30th September 2005:
During the period:
·       Betbull moved its exchange platform onto a new technology platform,
sharing markets and liquidity with other exchanges.
·       Betbull saw revenues from its betting exchange grow in line with
expectations.
·       Betbull maintains a healthy cash balance as at 30th September 2005 of
£6.9 m or EUR9.5 m.
On the 31st October, after the completion of the reporting period,
Betbull announced the completion of it’s acquisition of the Leip
Group, one of Germany’s leading retail bookmakers as well as the
successful completion of it’s recent EUR7.5 million fund raising.
Following the acquisition Betbull also intends to shift parts of its
operational base to Primebet’s operational base (a Malta based
company owned 100% by Betbull), realizing significant cost savings.
Commenting on today’s results Günter Schmid, CEO of Betbull said:
"The successful technology migration is of key importance for the
exchange business as recent press reports would indicate that
significant UK retail bookmakers will also be contributing to the
liquidity of the shared platform.  However the most significant
achievement since 1st July has been the acquisition of the Leip Group
and the successful fund raising."
"The acquisition of the Leip Group Betbull signals the end of our
start up phase. The Leip Group is a profitable and cash generative
business in a European key market with significant growth potential.
Our vision is to grow the business organically and through
acquisitions building upon the lead in the rapidly expanding, yet
still immature retail betting sector."
Simon Bold, COO of Betbull, further added: "We now have a fantastic
opportunity for Betbull to be a part of the retail business in
Germany in the World Cup year 2006.  The German retail sector is
ready for the changes that we can bring about in terms of new
products, better technology and improving the customer experience.
With the collective retail bookmaking skills betbull now possesses, I
am confident that we can create substantial value here.  This
acquisition is only the start of our Continental European retail
growth strategy."
