Iplayco Corporation Limited (TSX VENTURE: IPC) ("Iplayco" or the
"Company") today announced its financial results for the second
quarter ended March 31, 2010. All amounts are in Canadian dollars
unless otherwise noted.
This news release contains financial information derived from
Iplayco's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for
the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. More detailed
information can be found in the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for
the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, which are being
filed with the applicable Canadian regulatory authorities.
"Although the general economic environment in our industry
remains very challenging, our sales for the second quarter ended
March 31, 2010 ("Q2-10") increased by 7.4% as compared to the first
quarter ended December 31, 2009 ("Q1-10"), led by a 33.5% increase
in sales from our Family Entertainment Centre operations. For the
second half of our 2010 fiscal year, we expect that access to
external financing for many of our smaller customers will remain
tight, therefore, sales from our Manufacturing operations are
expected to remain in-line with the first half of 2010. For our
Family Entertainment Centre operations, we expect that sales will
continue to increase during the second half of our 2010 fiscal
year, as compared to 2009, due primarily to various marketing
campaigns" said Scott Forbes, President and Director of
Iplayco.
Sales from our Manufacturing operations generated 79.1% of our
total sales in Q2-10 compared to 83.2% in Q1-10, and increased by
