COMMENTS BY DIRECTORS
Comments on the following matters are required by ASX or, in relation

and may be incorporated into the directors' report and statement. For
both half yearly and preliminary final reports, if there are no
comments in a section, state NIL. If there is insufficient space to

BASIS OF ACCOUNTS PREPARATION
If this report is a half yearly report, it is a general purpose
financial report prepared in accordance with the listing rules and

ABNORMAL ITEMS:
CREDIT CARD LOSSES PROVISION
In July 2000 the processing and checking systems of the casino
indicated an unacceptably high rate of suspect cards had been
processed and the credit card acceptance systems were disabled by the
company. An exact quantification of the loss that may eventuate from
suspect card transactions is not possible until the company has
received notification from the credit card companies of all of the
disputed transactions. A provision for losses to 30 June 2000 of
$3,500,000 has been made in the half-year accounts.
COMMISSION ON SUSPECT CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS
Commissions paid on casino wins and turnover based on suspect credit
cards totalled $620,000.
GAMING SOFTWARE LOSSES
During May 2000 a gaming software failure was exploited by certain
players resulting in abnormal gaming losses of $698,000. The casino
operator is seeking re-imbursement of these losses from the software
supplier.
MINING ASSET PROVISION
In July 2000 agreements were entered into to transfer the company's
mineral assets to Rox Limited in proportion to their shareholdings in
My Casino as part of the spin-off arrangements.
