ASX RELEASE - Friday 3rd November 2006
GLO Investment Update
Directors of Jumbo Corporation Limited would like to clarify the possible impact that the company's shareholding in Global Approach Limited (ASX:GLO) would have on half year results.
Jumbo currently holds 11,728,817 GLO shares valued at \$0.10 per share resulting in an non-current financial asset of \$1,172,882 as of 30 June 2006. Under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) this asset would be tested for
impairment at 31 December 2006. If for example, the GLO shares would be valued at \$0.040, the asset would be revalued at \$469,152 resulting in an extra-ordinary impairment loss of \$703,729 added to the companies operating result.
Jumbo's operations continue to be strong and are unaffected by this write down. Furthermore the lottery division has not been materially affected by changes in US Legislation which have had an impact on GLO (See GLO announcement dated 16th October 2006).
Jumbo's results for FY06 showed a profit of \$786,973 (its $4th$ consecutive increasing profit) and Net Assets of \$7,788,984 at 30 June 2006.
The once-off profit reduction indicated above may vary depending on further developments in GLO before 31 December 2006. GLO has informed directors that it is currently working on a number of positive developments to improve the situation and minimise the impact on the GLO share price.
