"The Company has never been better placed to take advantage of the numerous
opportunities that lie ahead. We will continue to invest in the business as we
strive to deliver the next generation of interactive gaming."

About NetPlay TV plc
NetPlay TV plc is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (NPT).
NetPlay TV operates a number of interactive gaming services from the UK, and
Malta, including SuperCasino.com, Bingos.com and EuroTeleMillions.com. These
services can also be viewed live on television on Sky Channel 866 - 24 hours a
day, Freeview Channel 48 from 9pm - 5am and FreeSat Channel 851. The Company
recently took over the production of the 'Challenge Jackpot' brand on behalf of
Virgin Media Television which airs 24/7 on Virgin Media, Sky and three hours per
day on Bravo 2 and Virgin 1.
The Company is focused on the delivery of a converged interactive gaming
experience allowing its customers to interact with its games on a variety of
platforms, TV, Internet and mobile from a common integrated wallet.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
In 2007, the Company undertook a transformation from a mobile content business
into an interactive TV gaming business and 2008 saw the Group post its first
positive EBITDA* contribution since this transformation.
During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group's turnover for the year was
GBP19.8m (2007: GBP9.1m^) with a positive EBITDA* contribution of GBP2.4m (2007:
Loss of GBP1.7m^), an increase in growth of 241%
The past year saw the Company complete a number of acquisitions, as well as
continue investment in its core products and services. The belief that in time
consumers would firstly demand a "live" gaming experience on their PCs and
secondly would want interaction through their mobile phone is beginning to prove
correct.
The acquisitions throughout the year have underpinned this belief and have
focused on ensuring we have the right products and services for the consumer.
On the interactive TV front we acquired a new Sky channel, channel 867
(previously channel 848), in May 2008, followed by the acquisition of a
competitor's database, Pitch Gaming, also in May 2008, allowing us to offer
their customers a "live" casino TV service. The re-naming of our "Live Roulette"
channel to SuperCasino.com saw the introduction of "Live BlackJack" to the show
as well as introducing additional online games to the websites. This has allowed
us to offer a truly integrated offering to our casino customers.
The acquisition of a database of 7,600 mobile quiz players from Rubberduck in
March 2008, as well as acquiring the assets of Info-Download Limited in December
2008, further underpinned our focus and investment in the growing mobile gaming
arena.
On April 16 2008, the Company made its biggest acquisition to date, acquiring
Bingos.com. During 2008, the employees of Bingos.com were successfully
integrated into the Group, allowing the Company to capitalise on synergies
post-acquisition. We believe bingo is an integral part of interactive gaming and
the combination of online bingo with TV and mobile distribution platforms will
be the future for the industry.
In June 2008, our contract to air live SuperCasino.com shows on Virgin 1 and
Bravo came to an end and saw Virgin Media Television launch its own interactive
gaming show, Challenge Jackpot, produced by Two Way Media Limited. In May 2009,
the Group won the contract to produce the Challenge Jackpot show, as well as to
further develop the brand and add new gaming formats until 2013. We acquired the
Challenge Jackpot assets and key employees of Two Way Media, the incumbent
producer.
Winning the Virgin Media Television contract has been a key milestone for the
business. It has allowed us to further expand our TV assets as well as giving us
a fantastic platform for the development of new interactive TV formats both in
the UK and overseas. The Two Way Media staff have been re-deployed to create a
new business development unit focused on offering our "live" video rich
interactive services to new partners, including retail, TV broadcasters, and
online companies.
This new business unit has hit the ground running, and we are today in advanced
talks with an international betting shop operator, as well as a major
broadcaster about rolling our SuperCasino.com format out to their customers. We
hope to update the market in the next few weeks on both of these opportunities.

based payment charges of GBP0.2m.

Board Changes
I was delighted to join the Board in June this year as Non-Executive Chairman.
The Company is extremely well positioned in the interactive gaming market and I
relish the opportunity to help it achieve its goal of becoming a leading media
business with a difference.
We announced the departure of Dominic Mansour, former CEO of the acquired
Bingos.com business on April 16th 2009.
Outlook
Over the past two years the Group has perfected its interactive offering and is
now uniquely placed to take advantage of the surge in consumer demand as well as
the many commercial opportunities now arising. We have a robust, fully
regulated business which is widely recognised as the market leaders. We must now
continue to monetise this position and deliver increased shareholder value.
As a result of the continued investment, the Company is now widely recognised as
the market leaders in the delivery of TV quality interactive gambling formats.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
2009 has seen the investment made in 2007/08 start to come to fruition. With
faster broadband speeds becoming increasing accessible the demand from consumers
for "live" interactive gaming products is growing at a rapid pace. We predict
this demand will continue to grow as internet connectivity speeds become faster,
allowing users to watch more TV quality programmes on their PCs.
Financial Overview
The Group turnover for the year increased 118% to GBP19.8m (2007: GBP9.1m^) with
a positive EBITDA* of GBP2.4m (2007: Loss of GBP1.7m^), an increase in growth of
241%.
The Group's total cash balance as 31 December 2008 was GBP2.0m (2007: GBP1.3m).
Exceptional costs within the period totalled GBP0.6m. This amount is mostly
attributable to the re-organisation of the Bingos.com business post-acquisition,
including the closure of the main office in Spain.
An impairment of goodwill was expensed in the period of GBP1.4m, relating to the
premium rate scratchcard business as detailed below.
2008 continued to be a year of tremendous growth for our SuperCasino.com
business. Gross bets on this service averaged GBP20.3m per month during 2008,
compared to average monthly bets of GBP11.1m in 2007, an annual growth of 83%.
During the period, NetPlay TV became a key player in the online bingo industry
following the acquisition of Bingos.com. In December 2008 gross bets were at a
run rate of GBP10.4m. This business, both revenue and profit, has remained
fairly flat over the year mainly due to reorganisation, and integration of staff
into our UK operations.
We continue to invest in a converged bingo offering and have made great progress
in integrating mobile and TV platforms. Early tests in 2009 have proved
successful and we look forward to rolling out these products in the second half
of the year.
2009 has seen exceptional growth in our mobile business. Gross bets and revenue
in Q1 2009 were GBP1.6m compared to GBP0.3m in Q1 2008. Following the
acquisition in December 2008 of the Info-Download assets, we are now taking bets
through mobile phone with current bets exceeding GBP0.4m per month. We plan to
expand our mobile offering, including integrating a mobile solution in to our
SuperCasino.com business in the second half of the year.
During the year, the Group undertook a full review of player balances and found
that liabilities in 2007 to players had been understated. The financials have
been restated accordingly, resulting in an increase of trade and other payables
at 31 December 2007 by GBP341,000 and increase the loss for the year ended 31
December 2007 by GBP341,000.
* EBITDA quoted is before exceptional items totalling GBP0.6m and IFRS 2 share
based payment charges of GBP0.2m.

Operational Review
The recent deal with Virgin Media Television and Two Way Media was
transformational in the expansion of the Group. The evolution of the Challenge
Jackpot brand for Virgin Media TV will see new interactive TV games launched
over the coming months further underpinning our position as leaders in this
market.
The Two Way Media staff, headed by Guy Templer, former CEO of the business,
heads our new business development team; a dedicated unit focusing on expanding
into the B2B market offering our "live" interactive games to new clients,
including retail, TV and online partners.
We are today in advanced talks with a major international betting shop chain
about deploying our live games into their retail outlets.
With continued investment in our services we are now able to demonstrate to
existing and new partners that our "live" products outperform their digitised
equivalent by a factor of 6:1. This, combined with increased consumer demand,
means that the Company is in an excellent position to leverage our services via
a number of different channels to market. .
The recent launch of "Daily SuperDraw" on Channel Five was a major step for the
Group, linking TV commercial airtime with a mobile entry point and ongoing
internet activity. We will continue to develop this converged solution through
the remainder of 2009. We look forward to updating the shareholders when the
interim results are announced with more information on this specific service.
We have seen a further delay of an additional six months in moving
SuperCasino.com operations offshore, mainly as a result of concluding the Virgin
Media Television deal, which took almost six months. This will have an impact
on the 2009 profitability, however, as a result of concluding the deal, we are
now able to establish additional TV studios offshore allowing us to offer a
variety of "live" services in a low tax jurisdiction to both our own brands and
new partners. We are in the process of securing a new gaming license in
Alderney, adding to our operations in the UK and Malta. With the combination of
the new offshore studio and our UK TV facilities we are now uniquely positioned
to offer "live" services to a number of partners.
Following a comprehensive review of our interactive telephone gaming division,
we have decided to exit the premium rate telephone scratch card business and
focus on growing our interactive TV gaming formats with broadcast partners.
Whilst the subsidiary, (Abstract Games Limited), did produce excellent results,
it also incurred a regulatory fine and negative publicity during its earn-out
period. Whilst we are appealing the regulator fine we feel the potential
negative publicity around this type of business outweighs the short term
profits. We believe this decision will ensure our continued growth in partnering
with major TV companies, and "blue chip" brands alike. We are currently in
negotiation with the vendors of Abstract Games Limited on the final payment of
their earn-out pending the appeal of the regulator fine incurred by them during
the earn out. The Company has incurred a "write down" of the goodwill of
GBP1.4m.
We believe consumer demand for mobile gaming will increase dramatically over the
coming years and we want to ensure we are well positioned as a business to take
advantage of this demand. We believe the integration of mobile distribution
platforms into our gaming operations to be pivotal and as such we are committed
to additional investment in this area for 2009. We recently had our new mobile
quiz game, "Lucky Numbers" approved by the telephone regulator, Phone Pay Plus.
The reclassification of TV gaming as teleshopping has opened up new
opportunities for us with terrestrial broadcasters. This in combination with
new channels in both retail, and online, plus our existing brands will enable us
to leverage our core assets and maximise profits.
The Company has never been better placed to take advantage of the opportunities
that lie ahead. We will continue to invest in the business as we strive to
deliver the next generation of interactive gaming businesses.
Current Trading
Trading for the first quarter of 2009 resulted in an EBITDA of GBP455k.
Gross gaming revenues for the first quarter were GBP96m, an increase of 52%
compared to GBP63m for first quarter of 2008. Overall our gross bets continue
to grow with May revenues exceeding GBP39m. This includes 20 days of Challenge
Jackpot gross bets.
We have seen particularly strong growth in our mobile revenues in the first
quarter with total gross revenues for the period exceeding GBP1.6m compared to
GBP0.3m for the same period in 2008.
The decision to cease the premium rate scratch card business at the end of the
Abstract Games Limited earn-out in February will have an impact on the March
onwards EBITDA number although we believe this will be replaced by better
quality revenues in the second half of the year. In addition the delay in
moving SuperCasino.com offshore will also have an impact on the profitability
however this will be short term as plans are now well under way to ensure its
smooth transition to an offshore jurisdiction by Q3 2009.
Revenues from the Challenge Jackpot service have started well and with a
dedicated team focused on improving the TV show and the consumer experience we
expect these to grow in coming months.
The Daily SuperDraw operating through a commercial relationship with Channel
Five has started well with over 110,000 unique players in the first four weeks.
Early signs from our new business development team are very encouraging as they
focus on offering our products to new partners in the retail, TV and online
space. We are currently in advanced talks with an international betting shop
chain and a major broadcaster about the distribution of our services. We hope to
be able to update the market on both these transactions within the next few
weeks.
Overall we are pleased with the current trading although cognisant of the short
term impact of ceasing certain activities in order to secure better quality
earnings as we move forward.
