Alphameric awarded contract with Eastwood Bookmakers

Alphameric, the provider of software solutions for the Leisure and Hospitality
sectors, is pleased to announce that Eastwood Bookmakers ('Eastwood'), a leading
Northern Ireland bookmaker, has placed an order for the supply and installation
of its class leading Alphameric EPoS solution throughout its entire estate of 50
betting shops. As part of this solution Eastwood will also implement the
Alphameric central EPoS and Display control systems, telebetting and internet
solutions giving a comprehensive and integrated solution across all its betting
channels.

The total contract value is in excess of £1 million and the rollout is expected
to be complete by the end of the first quarter next year. The contract follows
the implementation by Eastwood of Alphameric's ALBOS Screen system two years
ago.

Alan Morcombe, Chief Executive of Alphameric commented, 'We are delighted that
Eastwood has extended its relationship with Alphameric and look forward to a
successful rollout of EPoS into its shops. The order is an important milestone
for us, as Eastwood will be the first Irish bookmaker to embrace the new
third-generation iTerm solution as part of a totally integrated platform to
include Internet and tele-Betting. We look forward to completing the rollout
early next year and working closely with Eastwood as they grow the business.'
