ABOUT CARLYLE GAMING LIMITED

     Carlyle is an Internet software development and licensing company operating in the Internet transaction processing market. Carlyle is a Canadian subsidiary of a U.S company and is located at Montreal, Canada. The principal focus of Carlyle is the development, licensing and support of Internet based software and electronic commerce software for the Internet gaming industry.

     Each licensee has to represent and demonstrate that it is licensed or in the process of being licensed by the relevant authorities in its jurisdiction to operate “virtual casinos” on the Internet.

     As a software developer in the Internet gaming industry, Carlyle’s business is based on licensing its proprietary casino gaming software and services. It typically enters into long-term software license and support agreements, which usually extend up to five years with automatic renewal provisions.

     Carlyle licenses its software to user-facing gambling website owners in return for a revenue share. The entire current revenue base is generated from a European licensee. Currently, Carlyle does not deal with US-facing operators.

     The proprietary Internet based software and electronic software products are used by the licensees to create “virtual casinos.” The downloadable software package transfers the “front end” information (i.e., playing cards, roulette wheel, dice numbers) between the user and a remote server. The software package utilizes each user’s computer to generate the graphics of the virtual casino, while the licensees’ gaming servers perform the “dealer” function, generating the random numbers of playing cards, roulette numbers and dice numbers, as applicable.

Investment Highlights

     Growth of Existing Licensees and New Licensees: Carlyle is expecting to enter into 2-3 new markets over the next 12 months. Licenses are in 3 different countries in Europe.

     Carlyle is looking to develop and launch new online gaming solutions. It is believes that it is also well positioned to enter new markets in Asia and if regulation is changed in the U.S.A making online gaming legal, Carlyle is expected to also enter into the US market.

     High Margin Business: Carlyle is leveraging off existing software IP which allows low operational costs and a flexible business model. This results in a relatively higher EBIDTA margins.

The Business Model

     Carlyle is online software provider with one many relationships; supplying its software to different online gaming sites/operators. Carlyle licenses and supports its proprietary Internet based software package to Internet casino licensees located in various countries around the world.

     Carlyle revenue from the following sources:

     One time customization fee: Initially, as part of the issuance of a software license, the licensee generally pays a one-time customization fee. This customization fee is for designing the casino style desired by the licensee.

     Ongoing licensing and support fees: These are major sources of revenue for Carlyle. These fees are recurring and are calculated as a percentage of the licensee’s net transaction revenues.

     Carlyle earns royalties based on a percentage of its licensees’ revenues, profiting from their growth without the direct risks and costs borne by the operators.

The Market Opportunity

     The online gaming market segment mainly consists of online sports betting, online casinos, poker lotteries, bingo and other skill based games. The online sports betting represents the major chunk with about 45% of the market, while online casino and online poker take the next two spots with about 25% and 20% market share. The online interactive channel for gambling is fast becoming popular given. The following are the biggest business drivers:

  • Greater broadband penetration

  • High operational costs of land based gambling

  • Better liquidity for players as they can leverage the network

  • Greater headroom for certain types of betting as player liquidity is easier to create.

Online gaming market size and growth

     Online gaming is a new segment in the whole gambling space and accounts for about 4%-5% of the total gambling market globally. With the greater acceptability of ecommerce and the internet obliterating geographic boundaries, the online gaming market is well positioned to grow at a fast pace. The global gambling market was estimated to be worth about $320-$330bn in 2007 (based on Annual Reports of gambling companies), with online gaming accounting for about 5% of this, i.e. about $15bn. This market is expected to grow to $23-$25bn over the next five years.

     As per annual reports of Partygaming (an online gaming website), global online gaming revenue is set to grow at 14% annually, with online poker at 16% per annum, online casino at 15% p.a. and online sports betting at 11% per annum. Outside of the US, Europe is estimated to capture approximately 60% of the gambling market by 2012.

The Technology

     Carlyle has developed a comprehensive software platform for offering a turnkey solution for online gaming websites. Among other things, the software contains proprietary encryption features, which allow secure transmission of data. In addition, the proprietary Internet software package permits its licensees to offer multi-player games, a 3D panoramic virtual casino floor, progressive jackpots, multi-currency features, Internet browsing features and facilitates inter-player chatting. Carlyle believes it has been, and it is an objective of Carlyle to continue to be, a leader in introducing innovative software products for the Internet gaming industry.

     Carlyle provides Internet based electronic commerce support and technology to licensees and maintains, through subsidiaries, electronic commerce accounts for both merchants of Carlyle’s electronic commerce software and their end-users. Carlyle reports and remits to its licensees their respective share of the net transaction revenues less licensing and support fees payable to Carlyle (as outlined in the applicable licensing agreement). Utilizing the electronic commerce software, users can purchase electronic cash by credit card, transfer from their bank account, wire transfer, money order or personal cheque, and can spend the cash with a third party business merchant of Carlyle, or have the balance in their account returned through their credit card account or by cheque. Users of the electronic commerce software products are charged nominal fees for using this service.

Intellectual Property

     Carlyle relies on a combination of copyright and trade secret laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect its rights in its software and proprietary technology. Carlyle believes that much of its competitive position is dependent upon its ability to protect its proprietary information. In an attempt to protect its intellectual property rights, Carlyle generally enters into non-disclosure and invention agreements with employees,

5


licensees, consultants and customers, and historically has restricted access to its software products’ source codes. Carlyle regards its source codes as proprietary information, and attempts to protect source code versions of its products as trade secrets and unpublished copyrighted works. Despite Carlyle’s precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized parties to copy or otherwise reverse engineer portions of Carlyle’s products or otherwise obtain and use information that Carlyle regards as proprietary.

     Carlyle does not possess any patent or copyright registrations in Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction, however, Carlyle and its Subsidiaries have trademarks in certain jurisdictions and are in the process of applying for further trademark registrations which would provide such protection in relevant jurisdictions. Existing copyright and trade secret laws offer only limited protection, and the laws of certain countries in which Carlyle’s products are used do not protect Carlyle’s products and intellectual property right the same extent as the laws of Canada and the United States. Certain provisions of the license agreements entered into by Carlyle including provisions protecting against unauthorized use, transfer and disclosure, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     SWAV is not a party to any legal proceedings nor is aware of any investigation, claim or demand made on the Company that may reasonably result in any legal proceedings.
