IPC Iplayco Corporation Ltd

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 2.1% to $1,530,242, as
