We took a decisive and systematic approach to the business and our positive results are reflective of the major transition we underwent and represent the renewal of TransGaming.

We addressed a number of important matters this year including: cost containment as part of our restructuring; the resolution of our financial obligation to Oberon Media, which resulted in a $1.7 million benefit to our balance sheet; the renegotiation of our BEST Funds debt to more favorable terms; and the realignment of our business units to create two divisional groups focused on our core revenue streams. In addition, we intently focused on key wins with major customers across all of our product lines, propelling our revenue increase. These measures have stabilized the company and positioned us well for further growth.

We are thrilled by our results and achievements over the past year. We continue to work tirelessly towards making our products and technologies more pervasive and we are confident that the future holds even greater victories."
