The quarterly total operating income per active poker customer was $103, also down three percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. 

The company, which recently announced it was moving into the business-to-business poker market with the launch of its new network, Dragonfish, said, “The group's financial position is strong with approximately $110 million cash equivalents (of which approximately US$32 million represent liabilities to customers) and no debt leaving the group in a sound position to exploit M&A opportunities when they become available. As such, the board remains confident about further progress during the year.”
