The increase in trade payables stems from heightened activity at year-end and an increase in communications, particularly related
to the opening of the market for online gaming.
The increase in tax and employee-related liabilities is mainly explained by the settlement of the balance of certain of the company’s
employee benefi t obligations in January 2011 whereas in the previous year all had been settled at 31 December 2009, and by the
increase of €1.7m in employee profi t-sharing liabilities.
Other operating liabilities mainly include Group current account payables (€12.9m) (Note 3.3) and payables to fixed
asset suppliers
for €13.0m. These were up by €1.7m following the execution of orders at year-end relating to equipment for new points of sale.
