TWC's net income for the second quarter 2008 was down from the same period in 2007, as anticipated, due to the increased popularity of the European Cup which was held in June 2008. However, these results were better than expected, surpassing the Company's internal projections. In the second quarter of 2007, TWC's net income was $1,028,000, or $0.13 per share. The per share calculation is based on fully diluted shares of 8,884,828 and 7,934,309 for the respective periods in 2008 and 2007.

For the first half of 2008, the Company posted a 27%, or approximately $3.9 million, revenue increase, generating total revenue of $18.1 million versus $14.2 million realized for the same period a year ago. Live game and slot revenue increases of 24% and 22%, respectively, contributed to this improvement. The net income for the same periods was $1,396,000, or $0.16 per share, versus $1,423,000, or $0.18 per share. The per share calculation is based on fully diluted shares of 8,889,634 for the first half of 2008 and 7,934,309 for the same period in 2007.

Common stockholders' equity per share at the end of June 30, 2008 increased to $4.19, or by 23%, from $3.40 at December 31, 2007. The common stockholders' equity per share calculations are based on outstanding shares of 8,846,624 and 8,840,870 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

"We are pleased with our financial performance for the first six months of 2008 despite the occurrence and diversion of the European Cup," stated Rami Ramadan, CEO of TWC. "We anticipate that this strong revenue performance will carry over into the second half of the year."
