Iplayco Corporation Limited (TSX VENTURE: IPC) ("Iplayco" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2009. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

This press release contains financial information derived from Iplayco's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

"Although the general economic environment remains very challenging, we are seeing some encouraging signs of increased activity. Our sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009 ("Q1-10") increased by 7.1% to $1,801,951 compared to $1,682,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 ("Q4-09"), and we expect that for the three months ending March 31, 2010, sales from our manufacturing operations will increase as compared to Q1-10, mainly as a result of an increase in the number of sales quotes submitted and general sales activity from our U.S. customers who account for a significant portion of our sales" said Scott Forbes, President and Director of Iplayco. Sales from our manufacturing operations accounted for 83.2% of our total sales in Q1-10 compared to 80.9% in Q4-09, and increased by 10.1% to $1,498,579 in Q1-10 compared to $1,360,869 in Q4-09. "Sales from our family entertainment centre operations accounted for 16.8% of our total sales in Q1-10 compared to 19.1% in Q4-09 and decreased by 5.7% to $303,372 in Q1-10 compared to $321,831 in Q4-09. The Board of Directors of Iplayco is also very pleased with management's cost reduction measures, which include continuing efforts to rationalize production costs and to reduce administrative expenses."
